another snippet, from the next bit of Lost Kings:
“Oh,” Kes said. “I figured it was safer for you not to associate with me. I figured that was why it was good our marriage certificate had never gotten filed.”
“It got filed,” Shara said. “I knew I was going to come and do this anyway. I filed it, all right.”
“Am I on Poe’s birth certificate?” Kes asked, and he hadn’t realized he cared so much.
“Of course you are,” she said. “Kes! Like I wasn’t going to acknowledge that?”
“My father wasn’t on mine,” Kes said, “and for that reason.”
“No,” Shara said, “you’re on there. Otherwise it would have been weird to give him your last name.”
Kes pulled away just enough to blink at her. “He has my last name?”
“Poe Dameron,” Shara said. “It goes better, and Norasol wouldn’t let me name him after you. It would have been bad luck.”
“No, it would have been a sign that I was dead,” Kes said. “You can’t reuse a living person’s name like that.” He looked down at the sleeping child. Poe Dameron. “He really– you gave him my last name.”
“I did,” Shara said, and pressed her face back into his shoulder.
