Hi everyone. Thank you all for the reviews and comments. I greatly apprieciate it. I'm want to apologize before hand if the characters seem off. This chapter was a little tricky for me on terms of how things were going to play out. Anyway, thank you all for your amazing support and I hope you enjoy!

The chairs that the 'couple' sat in were uncomfortable, or maybe that was just because Ben felt so big compared to them.

Somehow, he let his assistant of three years talk him into marrying her so that they both won't lose their jobs. Honestly, it's not how he pictured getting married, and he never expected to marry a co worker. His mother was always asking when he was going to visit or bring home some girl, but it just hadn't happened. He was too busy editing books to focus on that kind of crap.

"So . . . Mr. Solo and Ms. Kenobi," the dark voice of Mr. Snoke spoke from across them. His bony white fingers folded over each other as he stared at the pair. "You two are getting married."

"Yes, sir," Rey says quietly next to Ben.

"When did you two start dating?"

"Last year," Ben speaks up. "In December."

"And no one in your office knew of this?"

Ben feels his jaw clench as he answers darkly. "No."

He didn't know what it was about Snoke, but he knew he didn't like him.

Snoke stared at them in suspicion. He leaned closer. "You two both realize that if you I for one second think that you're lying to me I will have you deported, and you, Mr. Solo, will be sent to federal prison for committing an act of treason." He leaned back in his chair, his chin held high. "Have I made myself very clear?"

"Yes," Ben answers, voice barely above a was surely going to go crazy. He knew the consequences, but he had no idea why on earth he was helping his assistant commit to this plan. "We understand."

Rey sits still as Ben folds his hands in his lap. They look to Snoke once more.

"I'll have you two know that I will be interviewing each of your friends and family and asking questions. If your answers do not match up exactly than we have a problem," Snoke shuffles paperwork on his desk and glances up at them. "Have you told your family about your . . . love affairs?"

"I can't," Rey answers into the silence. "I never knew who my parents were. No siblings either." Snoke's black eyes shift to Ben. "But Ben and I were going to visit his family for a trip. His grandmother is turning ninety."

Ben feels himself suck in a breath. What the hell was this girl thinking?! He specifically told her to cancel anything that had to do with his family. Granted, Ben completely forgot he'd have to tell his family about Rey. They knew of her, but only as his assistant. It would be just bizarre to go home and say. "I'm engaged to my assistant that I've been telling you all about for the past three years!" Surely his mother would never let him see the light of day again.

"And where does Ben's family live?"

Ben releases the breath he'd been holding and sits up straighter. "Alaska." He watches from the corner of his eye as Rey tries to remain calm at the news. "They live in Alaska."

Snoke stares at them and sighs. "Alright, well you're free to go as of now. Remember, I'll be checking in on you both and remember I'm always watching in someway." His bony grey finger points to them as they rise from their seats.

"Thank you again, Snoke," Rey says as they head out into the sidewalk.

Ben walks beside Rey as they head near a cafe and Ben runs his fingers through his thick black locks. Rey was walking faster in front of him, and he just wanted to yell at her to stop for a second.

As they stand by the metal tables along the cafes outside dining area, Ben stares at her. "Your parents live in Alaska!" She almost shouts.

"Yes," Ben sighs. "But I didn't think you'd be telling him we were going to visit them! I told you specifically to cancel -"

"Well what was I supposed to do?" Rey almost growls. "He suspected us."

Ben stares down at her and he feels his eyebrows pull together. "You know, Kenobi, you're lucky I'm even still in this thing. First you ask me to help you in this little scheme and now you're sucking me right back into a life I don't want -"

"Ben, look, I'm sorry," Rey frowns. "I was just trying to make us sound like we at least like each other."

Ben now looks at her with confusion. "Who said I didn't like you?"

Rey opens her mouth to speak, when she is cut off by her phone alarm. "Oh! I have to get home, I'll meet you tomorrow at the airport. Don't forget the tickets!" And just like that she was gone.

As Ben walked home, he couldn't help but think about why Rey didn't think he liked her. Sure she annoyed him at times and he liked bossing her around just as much as the next guy, but he didn't not like her.

He just hoped that this week would be over quickly and things would go smoothly.

"So," Rey smiles as she looks out her window with a huge grin on her face. "We're off to Alaska!"

Ben continues to read his book quietly.

He had ignored her attempts to start a conversation in the early morning of the day. He was not a morning person, and he didn't see how she could be one either. The sun wasn't even up yet.

Rey looks to him and clears her throat. "Right . . . Well," she bends down and pulls a binder out of her bag. "I have made a list of things that we'll be asked and everything you should know about me."

Ben looks at her a second. "Shouldn't you be wanting to know thing about me?"

He watches as Rey's cheeks tint a small shade of pink. "I already know everything about you."

He arches a suspicious brow and takes the binder from her. He searches for his questions and huffs. She would never know any of these.

"What's my favorite color?"

"Red."

"Favorite movie?"

"Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith."

"What am I allergic to?"

"Pine cones."

Ben looks at her and he feels almost irritated that she knew so much about him and he knew so little about her.

"Well . . . What's your favorite color," he grumbles.

"Green," Rey answers simply. They sit there in silence for a second."I hope BB 8 is okay."

"BB 8?"

"My corgi," Rey answers. "I left him with Poe while we're away."

"So you do have a companion," he says as he feels a hint of jealousy. "Poe Dameron?"

"He's just a friend."

Ben doesn't pay any attention to her as he goes back to his book. He'd never let Rey know, but the novel was about two star crossed lovers. A prince, one born from darkness, finds a fare maidan, one born from the light, who he falls in love with. He pines for her, but he doesn't know if she'll return his feelings in the same manner. At the moment, he was on Chapter 12 where the two confess their love for each other.

How could something so beautiful and pure possibly love something so dark and horrid? He doesn't get his answer before he feels a weight on his shoulder. He glances over and sees that Rey had fallen asleep.

Great.

"Ben!" He hears the familiar sound of his mother calling his name as he steps onto the stairs that led down to a walkway. He sees his mother standing there with a huge smile on her face, and his grandmother, Padme, stood close by. Rey quickly followed into the chilly air as Ben made his way towards his family.

"Mom -" Leia's arms are already wrapped around him tightly. He towered over her small frame and at the moment he was afraid he'd crush her.

She was small, but feirce. Her hair was now an extremely light brown compared to its original dark hue, and her huge jacket sheilded her from the cold.

"I'm glad you're home," she whispers into his jacket. She pulls away and finally spots Rey. "Hello, you must be Rey!"

Rey grins at his mother and Ben steps aside as the two embrace. "Hello, Mrs. Solo. It's nice to meet you."

"Please, call me Leia." Leia steps aside and Padme smiles at the young girl. "This is my mother, Grandma Paddy."

"Hello," Rey smiles.

"She's even more beautiful than you described her, Ben," Padme speaks.

Ben couldn't tell if it was the frosty air, or the light snow that fell around them, but he could feel his face heat up as Rey turns to him.

"Beautiful, huh?" Her voice is teasing.

He clears his throat and looks at his mother. "Mom, don't we need to get back home? I'm sure Rey is freezing and Grandma Paddy will be frozen solid out here before she makes it to her birthday."

"Ben Solo, you hush!" Leia warns as they head towards an old beat up car.

Ben's head almost touches the ceiling as they drive, and he looks out the window at the town he had once called home.

He never really wanted to come back. He felt there was nothing for him here, and he definitely did not want Rey seeing where he came from. He wasn't ashamed; it was just he didn't want this part of his life anymore.

"We have hot chocolate and cookies inside," Padme smiles sweetly as they pull up to Ben's childhood home.

The house sat on a snow covered hill, and had a gate wrapped around it. The trees that surrounded it were evergreens, and the house almost blended in with the snow. It was three stories high, and was painted white. The front porch wrapped all the way around the house, and the door was a bright red.

"Wow," Rey breathes as they walk along the walkway. When they enter the house, the atmosphere is warm and bright.

A christmas tree was set up near the far side window in the living room, and the house was decorated with christmas decorations.

What a joke, Ben thinks. All the feel good warmth was making him uncomfortable.

"I'll be right back," Leia says to the couple as they stand in the living room. Padme walks off towards the kitchen, and Rey and Ben are left alone.

"You have snow in your hair," Rey states, and Ben wants to laugh. Her eyes widen as she looks at him urgently. "How are we going to tell them that we're -"

"Don't worry, Kenobi," Ben interrupts in a low tone. His family were just a room away, and he wasn't going to have them find out about their 'engagement' like this. He had to be honest. He was scared to death, but he had to play it calm for Rey. Lord knows how she was sometimes, he thinks. "We've got this under control."

"Rey," Leia walks back into the room with a man following close behind her. The man had snowy white hair and he wore a tattered brown leather jacket. Just by looking at the man, Ben could tell his father hadn't let the years of aging get to him very well. "This is Han; Ben's father. Han, this is Rey; Ben's . . ."

"Girlfriend," Rey tells them as she shakes Han's hand.

"Nice to meet you," Han greets. He stares at his son, who was almost taller than him, and he gives a cocky smile. "You never told us you were bringing home such a pretty young girl, Ben. Need to warn a family next time."

"Dad," Ben says. "How have you been?"

The two men stare at each other and Han runs a hand through his white hair. "Well, son, I can't say things have been the same since you've left."

"Supper is ready!" Padme calls from the kitchen. The woman might have been almost a hundred years of age, but her spirit wasn't as such. "I made a special recipe."

The family huddle into the dining room area and they fill their plates fully. Rey sits beside Ben, and Leia and Han sit across from them. Padme sits at the head of the table, and watches two generations of love sit before her.

"How was your flight?" Leia asks.

"It was alright," Ben shrugged. "We would've been here sooner if the weather wasn't such a pain in the ass."

"How long do you plan on staying for?"

He knows that his answer will mean a lot to her, but he takes a sip of his black coffee. "Until Padme has had her party. Than Rey and I are catching the first flight back to New York."

"So soon?" Padme frowns. "My party is in two days."

"Yes . . . There's a lot that needs to be done at the office and -"

"We're sorry we can't stay longer," Rey interrupts. "It's rare for both of us to miss work at the same time, so things at the office will be backed up."

Han takes a long sip of his coffee before speaking. "So, why didn't you tell us you were dating your assistant, Ben?"

Ben stares at his father for a slight second. "Well . . . It just never came up before."

"Never came up?" Han chuckles. "Everytime we talk to you you practically go on and on about her, isn't that right babe?" Han glances at his wife and chuckles once more.

Ben feels his face grow red. He just wanted to crawl in a hole and die.

He feels Rey grab his hand that rested on the table, and he wondered why she was doing it until he realized their meal was almost over and they needed to share the . . . News.

Ben clears his throat and he feels his face grow even hotter. "Mom, Dad . . . Rey and I have something to tell you."

"Oh God," Han sighs. "You got her pregnant didn't you -"

"What?!" The couple say in sync. Both of their faces are red and horrified as Han shares a hearty laugh.

"No, that's not it," Ben groans. He runs his free hand through his hair and lets out a loud sigh. "Rey and I are . . . Getting married."

Rey looks down at her hands; not daring to look at Ben's family, and Ben looks at the horry written on them.

"Uh . . . Congrats?" Han coughs.

The room grows quiet and the happy and cheerfulness of the holiday turns strained and tenceful.
