Now we are your Poe family Why me? What did I do in life to deserve this, I was a bad son, I always behaved well, I never disrespected them, so why do they take my parents away from me? Today I had just lost my parents in the Yavin 4 war, I couldn't believe they died, I know I have to be strong and not collapse, but I'm only eight years old and knowing that I'll never see my parents again makes me very sad Now I don't know what will happen to me, I just know that I have to go very far so that the princess and her brother don't take me to an orphanage, and be alone forever knowing that no one would adopt me because I'm an orphan. That's why I run away from my house desperately trying to find a cave around the forest, I haven't stopped crying since the princess told me about the death of my parents with her was her brother and a resistance pilot looking at me worried when suddenly I I ran away horrified knowing that my parents will no longer be with me, I am sure they will be looking for me, but I am very good at hiding. I don't know how long I spent running without even noticing that a branch was raised and that made me stumble and roll down the mountain, I felt the rocks hit me, I tried to stop myself without success until I hit a tree and I felt the part of my right arm it was bending at a strange angle that made me shed more tears but this time in pain, my arm and my whole body was hurting, I was sure I was bruised everywhere, but the most painful thing was my hand, for sure I broke it .I really don't know what I did to deserve this first my parents and then falling and breaking my arm and being in unbearable pain that made me scream in pain and I couldn't move, then I hear footsteps but I have to bite my lips so that I don't listen to me.“¿Well, where are you? Do you have us very worried? - Asked the voice of the anguished princess, I couldn't believe that she cared about me, immediately two more voices were heard."You found him Leia, she can't go very far" commented the blonde man's voice, where I was I could see them, but they couldn't see me."I know, Luke, but if he's hurt, we shouldn't have told him that, he's just a kid," she commented with a broken voice. I was just holding back the urge to cry."He'll be fine, Poe had to know, we weren't going to hide the truth from him for long," the person named Luke said calmly, although his face was pale.“I know, I don't understand why she ran away, it's not understandable but why did she run that way terrified to us - she kept asking worried and in that I have to bite my arm well, so that my cry of pain would not come out ."He's scared," the dark-haired man's voice replied, and I see Luke and Leia looking at them as if they were someone else.“¿What are you saying Wedge? afraid of what?” Asked both brothers as they watched Wedge looking at them with a little sadness on his face.“It's obvious, he's afraid that they'll take him to an orphanage and that he won't see the people he loves again” he said and they kept looking at them surprised and I was the same and if I didn't have my arm in my mouth I would have let out a cry of surprise and pain .“¿And how do you know about that Wedge?” Luke asked taking him by the hand.“Because I went through the same thing as him, Luke I lost my parents at his age I was afraid to go to an orphanage until some distant relatives found out about me and adopted me, that's why I know what's happening, Poe”he commented and I see that they both look at him in astonishment before watching in amazement as Luke hugs him and kisses him on the mouth and I am amazed to find out that they were a couple."I didn't know love, why didn't you tell me before" he commented consoling Wedge.“It was a long time ago, but now we have to look for Poe and convince him that he won't go to an orphanage” he said seriously and I look at him amazed and feeling how my heart will start beating very fast.“Where to look Wedge the forest is very big” she said Leia worried.“We have to separate, you look up here, I'll go down this path see you in two hours” he said and I was alarmed and tried to stop some pain but I managed and started walking no longer listening to the conversation.How will they convince me, it must be a lie, a deception for me to go and then take me to an orphanage, but the words that Wedge said left me thinking, he also suffered the same fate as me, although in the end he was adopted, who I would adopt a boy who dreams of being a pilot and can cause trouble, I just shed more tears and tried to walk fast, until I finally found a cave and hid there.I don't know how long I was there until I heard Wedge's footsteps I had to put my good arm back on to silence my cries of pain and suddenly his footsteps stop in front of the cave and I hide further in the shadows.“I know you're there, Poe hid, you can go out, Leia and Luke aren't with me” his voice said, but even if I didn't listen to it and hid my face in my arms, the cave itself is small and I could barely get in “I know. What do you think Poe, but we are not going to leave you in an orphanage, you have my word but you have us worried”he kept saying knowing that he did not speak, and I let out a sob, but I did not leave.“No... it's... true... you... want... to... get rid of... me” I stammered and new tears fell in my eyes but it was all because of the pain I had, I see how Wedge sits in front of the cave patiently trying to see me but it is impossible because it was dark.“That's a lie Poe, Luke, Leia and I are very worried about you, and I know you heard us a while ago what happened to me with my parents, I promise you that you will be adopted” he said with a confident voice, but he was not going to leave This is all a trap, it had to be, but I was curious who would adopt me.“¿Who would adopt me?” I don't think they deserve someone like me whose desire is to fly and be a pilot before she died my mother taught me some flight classes and I will always remember that sitting on her lap sitting on her A-Wing and we flew together, I felt that my tears fell again to remember my mom.“Well, Luke and I will adopt you if you don't mind, and for us it would be an honor to teach you to be the best pilot of the resistance” he said I just listened to him amazed, I couldn't believe that Wedge and Luke are thinking of adopting me and that I want to teach to be the best pilot of the resistance.“Luke knows about this in adopting me” I commented little by little I came out of my hiding place sobbing with pain.“Well, no, but it won't be difficult to convince him, he adores you, now come out I swear that nobody will separate us, I'll tell Leía to give us the adoption papers and for you to be part of my family” he commented with a smile, that He disappeared when he saw me when I came out of the hiding place and he saw me terrified to see my wounds.“¿but what happened to you Poe?”he asked worried to see me and trying not to touch me, I had my arm very bent and the cheeks still had tears in my eyes.“I didn't notice that there was a loose branch and I tripped over it until I rolled down the mountain, my arm hurts a lot” I let out more tears of pain and I see that his gaze changes and he gives me a small smile on his face.“You'll see that soon when the doctor sees you you'll feel better Poe, you can walk” he told me worried checking that my body didn't have more serious injuries.“Not much Wedge” I commented and immediately he carried me I carefully hugged him with my good hand, the other was on my chest and with that we began to march in the direction of the Skywalker brothers. “Tell me if it's hurting you to try to slow down Poe” I wonder worried, for the first time I saw that besides my parents, someone else cared about me.“I'm fine, ¿why Wedge?” I asked feeling my tears fall on my cheeks again and Wedge stops to see me confused.“¿Why, what Poe?” I wonder confused and he sees my tears in my eyes and wipes them away with one hand.“My parents died, I did something bad for them to die if I was a good boy and I behaved well with them what did I do for them to die” I commented letting out more tears and then he hugs me carefully not to damage my arm anymore.“You didn't do anything wrong Poe, it wasn't your fault that they died that way, they did it so you can live in peace and not in war, they loved you so much to protect you and they did it and you're not alone you have me and Luke and Leia and we will never leave you alone you are part of our family now” he commented giving me a smile and now it was for me to hug him more.“Thank you Wedge for your words”I commented tired and it makes you yawn from exhaustion.“You're welcome and if you're afraid or have doubts you can always come to me or with Leia and Luke” he commented before starting to walk again I just put my head on his chest and close my eyes."I'll do it thanks to Wedge again," I said before falling asleep on his chest.I don't know how long I was asleep, until I started to open my eyes and the first thing I see is that I was in my room surrounded by my X-Wings models and I was looking at everything around me confused, how did I get here, but I remember that Wedge found and that is the reason why I am back in my room, I look at myself and I see that my right arm had a cast that immobilizes my hand and I see that my other hands had bandages perhaps because there were less serious injuries, I just sigh exhausted and fearful, although Wedge gave me his word that he was going to adopt me, perhaps Luke would not accept and they would send me to an orphanage and more because of the way I behaved to escape that way, that made me drop new tears in my eyes.Immediately I hear footsteps approaching me and I quickly wipe my tears to see Luke and his sister enter, sighing with relief and I am alarmed not seeing Wedge, I did not want to be with them, without him being here, the He has become a great friend since he found me, I don't know what they thought of me for running away, just hiding my face in the blankets."Poe, I'm glad you're okay, you worried us a lot, friend," Luke said smiling at me, I just keep getting into my blankets. “That's right, you can't scare us, Poe look how you are, when Wedge found you we worried a lot about you” Leia said with a soft voice, but I kept hiding in the sheets and seeing with my eyes that they were on top of the blankets They looked at me worried.“No, we blame you for what happened, it's normal when you lose your parents Poe but here we are to always be with you, don't hide please friend” Luke commented worried and Leia looked at him the same way.“How can we help you Poe, I know you're suffering and we want to see you happy I know it will be difficult at first, but I know that with time you will be Poe” Leía commented, sighing defeated knowing that she didn't get out of the covers.“It's better to leave him alone Leia, for now we don't want to scare him anymore” Luke commented sadly before leaving."If you need anything, we'll be downstairs," Leia commented so that she would also go out, leaving me alone.It's not that I wanted to tell you about them, but I didn't want to talk to them, I know I should trust them, like Wedge, but I didn't know very well how to talk to them, even though they were friends of my parents, I hardly spent any time with them maybe because I was excited playing with my X-Wings, but instead with Wedge it was something else with him if he could talk and understand me better, besides that he suffered the same as me, when he was a child.I don't know how long I lay like that hidden under my blankets that I hear other footsteps entering the room, I didn't want to see Leia and Luke again.“Apparently this little pilot has already gone to sleep and I came here to bring him something to eat” Wedge's voice commented and that made me take the covers off me and start to go to him and hugged him with my right hand, and he had time to remove the tray of food and put it on the nightstand before he returned my hug “Apparently this little friend just wanted to see me”he smiled and ruffled my hair I just laughed at his touch.“¿Wedge, where have you been? I thought you left me? - I asked sobbing into his chest as he continued to caress my hair gently.“Poe would never abandon you, I just went to prepare something to eat and practice with Luke and Leia but apparently you didn't want them from what they told” he told me and I blushed with shame at how I hid them from me."They're not like you, I didn't know how to interact with them" I commented as I sat on his lap and Wedge passed me my food which was a sandwich and an orange juice, and for dessert there were cookies and I started eating.“I know there is only one Wedge and they will never be like me” he laughed with his joke and I joined, but he became serious “it's normal that you don't feel good with them, but you should talk to them, after that they will be yours too Poe family” he commented with affection while he caressed my hair and I continued eating.“I know, but I'm afraid that they won't accept me for who I am, what I did was escape from you Wedge” commented finished the sandwich and the juice and now he was going for the cookies that tasted delicious.“You'll see that they accept you and no matter what you did they forgive you and understand you for what you did, that's how I was like you when I was a child I made mistakes and blamed myself, but the people who loved me told me they didn't they blamed and loved me, like Luke, Leia and I love you and want to see you happy, but you shouldn't blame yourself and you should open up Poe, promise me you'll try” he commented smiling and moving the tray away to put it on the nightstand and I just I cuddle closer to him.“¿I'll try but you'll be with me Wedge?” I asked shyly and I see that Wedge smiles and ruffles my hair before giving me a kiss on my forehead“Of course I do Poe” he commented hugging me “Luke, Leia can come in now” he said and I see that they come in and I blush knowing that they heard the conversation.“¿Shall we see who is your favorite Wedge? - Luke said pouting to see us hugging and I blush again and Wedge still has a small blush on his face.“It's not for nothing that I become the best friend of this pilot to make him his favorite” he smiled at me, ruffling my hair, making me smile.“You had an advantage and you know it Atilles” Leia said looking at us pretending seriousness but in the end she ends up laughing just like Luke.“Well, that's why I'm a great pilot, and here my partner will be my disciple so that he can be the best pilot of the resistance, he's not like that, my friend” she commented and that made me blush even more."Yes," I said quietly and I see that the three of them smile at me.“And without a doubt you will be Poe” Luke said and seeing how he smiled at me and approached the side of the bed and Leia following him.“You really think so, that I'll be a great pilot” he encouraged me to speak without leaving Wedge.“Of course you will see how you will be the best Poe” Leia smiled gently stroking my hair and I laughed. - And it is true that now we will be a family” I commented that very shy and insecure again. “Of course you do, as I told you before you're going to be our adopted son” Wedge said stroking my hair. “¿And you weren't angry Luke?”I asked looking at him fearfully and Wedge passes me to him in his lap and I just tense in being in arms other than Wedge's.“Of course not, Poe we had thought about that before you ran away and that Wedge told us that he was also an orphan, we were never going to leave you in an orphanage” he told me and I slowly hugged him with my good hand.“And here I have a gift for you Poe Dameron”Leia said bringing a piece of paper and I just looked at him confused “here it is written that you are already adopted by Luke Skywalker and by Captain Wedge Antilles as his Adoptive son, now with the law you will live with them forever” she said with a huge smile, I feel a smile break out on my face before going to hug her.“Thank you, thank you seriously thank you” I shouted feeling tears falling down my cheeks but they were from happiness to know that they didn't separate me from Wedge and Luke."There's no reason we want Poe, it's for you to be happy," Wedge and Luke commented at the same time and now I hugged them and sat on Wedge's lap.“I don't know how to thank him even though he behaves very badly with all of you” I commented blushing, for my behavior.“Don't scare us anymore like breaking your hand, you promise Poe” Leia commented sweetly, I blush and give a small smile.“I promise” I smiled before receiving kisses from the three of them making me laugh, making the three of them laugh with me.“Welcome to the Poe Dameron family” the three told me, hugging me, I reciprocate with my good hand and I truly smile.After I found out that my parents gave their lives for me and for others, now I had a big family that will love me even though I ran away from them when I found out that I thought I would go to an orphanage and if it wasn't for Wedge and Luke who adopted me now I would be alone and now I had Wedge and Luke who I hope one day will love them like my parents and Leia will be like a mother to me for the first time since the death of my parents I'm happy having the Skywalker family with me.End
