Rated M: for mature for future mature and explicit content.
Summary: This is my take on how Ben Solo will be redeemed. A story about great love and bringing balance to the galaxy, that was once prophesized once before. Main pairings Reylo of course and Rose/Finn. Perhaps a secret marriage, who am I kidding of course there will be.
Without further ado let's get this story started.
Chapter Two: Becoming One
Last Time
"Love you." He says.
"I love you too, Ben." The bond is cut off until the time they will speak again. Rey then crosses her legs into a meditating position. She can feel the party about to reach her. So she lifts her body by the force.
"Rey?" Finn yells within five minutes.
She has been woken from the force trance and returns to real world.
"Sorry I got lost meditating. Trying to figure ways on how to reconstruct a new saber."
Now
Since Rey had walked all the way to the cave on foot, she rode with Finn and Poe back to basecamp. She still couldn't believe what had transpired in the cave on the secluded outskirts of Naboo between her and Ben. The only way she knew it was real was the small mark that Ben had left on her neck. She touched it softly and smiled. She was alone in her chambers. She had become sweaty from her walk and run to the cave. So she had decided to take a shower. Which, was a very rare luxury on Jakku the desolate sand planet she had grew up on.
She began to lather her hair with shampoo. When she felt Ben appear to her. Before she could utter any noise she was muted by his ungloved hand. She realized he was almost completely naked too except for wearing boxers. He moved his hand from her mouth. "Don't do that." She swatted at him. She temporarily forgot she was naked and attempted to cover herself.
He just chuckles. "I am sorry, I couldn't help myself. You are so beautiful. But back to important matters can we discuss what we started earlier?"
"Can I finish my shower first please?" she gave him a look as if to say to leave. 'But shouldn't I be comfortable around him naked? He is going to become my husband.'
"As you wish my love." He then turns and is about to break the bond between the temporarily until she is done.
"Actually don't go I will be finished in a minute." She says.
"I don't want to push my boundaries; I am not a 'monster'." He says in a mocking tone. He has a big smile plaster on his face. He leaves the shower. Rey has finished her shower she had put on her sleeping attire which consisted of a sleeveless grey top and black shorts. She walked into the sleeping quarters of the room brushing her wet hair with a brush. To find Ben sitting on her bed. She takes a seat next to him, softly placing a kiss on his lips.
"Okay, let's make arrangements then." She takes his hand.
"Well first off we both need a rendezvous point, also you need a reason to leave and lastly the amount of time you'll be gone." Ben had been clearly doing some thinking on this subject.
"What planets are secluded? You know we will to have at least someone to bless this marriage and two witnesses. Who can we have done this request of us? Also the fact of secrecy. I am sure most people will be against our marriage."
"Eventually the truth will come out, it always does. I could care less of what anything thinks of this marriage except…..your opinion only matters. I'll handle the witnesses and everything of the sort. My grandparents got married in secrecy on Naboo. How about we meet on Coruscant? It's perfect we can be hidden amongst all the faces. Also we can travel to the Jedi Temple so we can have you forge your own lightsaber. Then try to have a honeymoon on some sort of lush planet maybe Takodana."
"How can you know what agenda I have?" she questioned but she already knew her answer.
"We are connected by the force; you can also see my thoughts and feelings. Our two souls are connected. It is unreal."
"Yeah next time you feel inclined to invading my mind, don't, and ask me."
"Sorry, so when can I meet you?"
"Two days' time. Do I have to wear a dress?" Rey groaned at the thought of having to wear a dress.
"No, if you wear a dress it will draw attention to us. So something comfortable, even though I will just ripping off you clothes anyway. Just make yourself look beautiful, which you already are to me." He got nervous.
"Subtle, about wanting to lay with me." She blushed.
"It is what married couples do. Can we nOt talk about this anymore?" he voice was cracking. She had left him speechless. She just leaned over and kissed him again.
"I love you." She says softly. Resting her head on his bare shoulder. He then rested his head on hers.
"I love you, too. I will talk with you in the morning." She took her head of his shoulder and he then kissed her softly on the lips.
Rey then feel asleep in the spot Ben was in. She had woken early did the mundane needs to start her day. She then went to meet with Leia. She couldn't believe that she was going to be daughter in law of General Oregana. But she needed to ask Leia for her blessing to go and create a new lightsaber.
"General, I was wondering if it would be okay with you if I went and constructed a new saber. Taking about a month or so?" she had felt nervous.
"Take all the time you need, we can hold down the fort from here. If we need you or there are meetings we can contact you. I understand the whole Jedi lifestyle comes first it is a part of you." Leia then embraces Rey in a huge hug. "Take Chewy to keep an eye on you." Rey wanted to meet Ben alone.
"Thank you General." Rey went to pack a bag to be gone for a long period of time. She and Chewy were about to board the Falcon before Poe came running up to her.
"Take BB-8 with you, he insisting, Along with R2." Before Rey can mutter a response both droids were aboard the Falcon.
She made her course for Coruscant. Chewy landed the ship in the old Jedi Temples holding area.
"Wait here, Chewy. Please." She got out and walked around the historic structure that was surprisingly intact. When she was off guard, and scooped up in a big embrace. Meet with many kisses.
"We weren't supposed to meet for a day." She said to Ben in his arms.
"I wanted to see you, I couldn't wait any longer. Looks like we both thought he same thing."
"Yes. You are right."
"Let's get married now." Ben growled into her ear.
"How?" a mighty roar bellowed from behind the couple that was still embracing. They had been caught. The large Wookie and the two droids were looking at them. Chewy made advances at Ben, the couple broke apart. The Wookie went for Ben's throat. Lifting him in the air. "Chewy stop! It's okay, don't hurt him."
Chewy roared. He still held onto the young man. Like he was saying 'He killed Han, his own father. Now you are kissing him. You told Leia you were going to construct a lightsaber and find out ways of the Jedi. What the fuck is going on here? We are leaving now Rey.'
"We are betrothed to one another." Ben said in gasps, desperately seeking air. The Wookie let go of his throat.
'Is this some sort of sick joke?' the Wookie warbled throwing his arms in the air.
"No Chewy it isn't. I feel in love with Ben. We have been fated by the force." Chewy looked into her eyes.
'Are you sure he won't turn on you?' the Wookie says.
"I understand what you are saying Chewbacca, no I won't turn my back on Rey. My plan is to dissolve the First Order. Let the Republic come back. I don't want to bask in the darkness anymore; I have found my light in the dark."
'You two are going to get married, I might as well be the officiate. I was the officiate for your parents Ben. Seems only right. The droids will be your witnesses. I assume you want this to be a secret so I won't say anything. I will go back to my home planet for some time and come back to pick up Rey, unless you want to drop off your bride, Ben. '
"I believe that choice is up to Rey." Ben said softly.
'Okay then let's get this show on the road.' The Wookie grunted. The vows where short, sweet and to the point. BB-8 and R2 watched in silence. The young couple now embraced in a long kiss. BB-8 and R2 beeped with delight. Chewy told the droids to remember this is a secret union and to not discuss what went on today with any soul. Unless one of the members of the couple said otherwise. The Wookie followed by the two droids parted.
"Thank you." Ben said softly to the Wookie.
'No problem kid, now don't her pregnant at least for a while. 'Chewy Chuckled.
The newly married couple watched the Falcon fly off into the abyss of space. It was now nighttime and it had started to rain heavily. Ben and Rey kissed in the rain until they were drenched. Ben picked up his bride bridal style and carried her to his ship. As the couple made it to the small sleeping area of the ship, they were almost out of there drenched clothes at this point. Except only there undergarments remained. They then removed those too.
They both lay naked on top of one another. Kissing each other deeply and their hands intertwined.
"I need you Rey." He said between kisses.
"I am here Ben, always." She looked into his brown eyes. She then felt a small pain in her lower half as Ben had entered her. It was his and hers first time. Rey had never found anyone that was her equal until Ben. Ben Solo never found anyone attractive; also his strives in the force kind of left him celibate. But now is not the case. Ben thrusted into her at an even pace. She moved with him. Switching many positions from missionary to him holding her in him arms. They both had stamina, the whole blissful experience had last a solid hour and a half. Until Ben felt he was at his climax he emptied himself into her. They both gasped. Rey motioned to get off of him. Since they position they were in she was straddling him. He smirks at him Wife.
"My dear wife we aren't done quite yet." She gulps slightly and he chuckles. Moving at a faster pace. This next session lasts another hour before he collapses on top of her, empting his seed into her again. Both of them panting he then removes himself from her, only to cuddle his exhausted and sweaty Wife. She kisses him before falling asleep.
The next morning Ben wakes up with his Wife not at his side. He becomes frantic. Quickly putting on black boxers to look around the ship for her.
"Rey?" he mutters in a terrified tone.
"Ben over here." She calls from the bathroom. He goes to her. She is busy showering. Ben takes off his boxers and then joins her in the shower. He moves his hands to her waist. He hugs her from behind.
"Good morning Mrs. Solo." He kisses her neck.
"Hello Mr. Solo." She turns in his arms to kiss him. "I am not going to leave you, don't get worried when I am not in bed. I wanted to get started on constructing my saber this morning."
"Can you focus on us for a moment and worry about Jedi matters after I have to go back to the Order."
"I need a weapon to defend myself."
"I can protect you; you are my Wife after all."
"You don't own me Ben, so get that notion out of your head. The gesture is sweet. But your mother will wonder why if I have not come back with a saber."
"Fine we can have your saber constructed, then can we go on our very brief honeymoon? Unfortunately I have to get back. I don't Hux to screw around my… I mean our plans for the galaxy." He kissed her. "What do you think about children?" he asked her, the question somewhat coming out of the blue.
"You noticed Chewy's side comment about not getting me knocked up right away?" she chuckled. "Well if it happens it happens. But our marriage may have to come out sooner and the transition will have to be accelerated. "
"You didn't answer my question."
"I like children; I never thought I would become a parent. Scared I would end up like my parents. But then it pondered on me I would never have my children feel doubt or insignificant. I would have them come first."
"I couldn't be happier to have chosen you as my partner in life at this moment." He embraced his Wife and entered her again she was super tight this time. Ben poured his seed into her.
45 minutes later
The couple had travelled to the most secluded area of the temple. Rey had found all the contents she needed for a new saber. She had constructed a double sided saber. When she ignited both ends the hue came out white. The white hue of the saber has been very rare. Ben just watched his Wife in amazement as she wielded her blade. This weapon was perfect for her. It was clear she was now a grey force user.
The couple then went on a brief honeymoon. To the planet of Takodana. They went to the secluded area of the planet. Spent five days together; Training, fucking, enjoying the sights and on the last day of the honeymoon they had a visitor.
It was Maz Kanta.
"Young Rey and Ben Solo." Her voice roared at the ship.
"Maz, you are still alive."
"I can see you two complete one another. I don't see turmoil in Ben's eyes anymore. Also Rey the person who would come back for you is him. I knew it. You two make a very cute couple."
"Thank you, Maz."
With that the 1,000 year old being walked off. It was now time for Rey to be returned to Naboo. Ben didn't want to leave her side. She felt the same way. On the ship she felt a huge shift in the force. She looked at her husband who sensed nothing. Rey realized the shift within her body. Could have they already have conceived child?
He landed on Naboo and they parted ways kissing deeply.
"Are you okay my love?" Ben asks his wife.
"Yes I will see you soon. Love you." She kisses him quickly on the mouth and walks off the ship. He watches her leave.
