"I would have lost the element of surprise," He replied, smiling, settling back against Finn as he started working.

"Alright, chronological order it is, then," He decided, pressing a button as the holovid flickered to life, and a woman came to view, with a child in her arms, who was smiling and laughing and waving a hand toward the camera - and thus, toward them.

"Alright, alright, I'll do it." She smiled, drawing a breath, as a man walked out from behind the camera to stand at her side, putting an arm around her shoulders. "Hi, Poe. I don't know how old you'll be when you see this - I've left this with your grandfather. Hopefully, we'll be able to all watch it together when your father and I return. But in case we don't - I want you to know that we both love you very, very much, and we spent every moment waiting to come back for you. Be good for your grandfather, Poe." She said, leaning in to nuzzle the babe in her arms with a warm smile.

"We'll be back before you know it."
