This is a warning beforehand! This is the chapter of birth, and it's not super descriptive or anything, but just thought I'd put the warning there. Enjoy!

-Birth-

I lay in bed one afternoon, rubbing my stomach gently. My lover and fiancé, General Hux, was out on a mission with the irritating Kylo Ren. I say mission, because I refuse to think of what it really is. It is common knowledge to me, being a soldier of the First Order myself, that missions more often than not result in the slaughter of many innocent people. As much as I hated it, there wasn't much I could do about it.

"He'll be back soon... Then we can spend time together. Just two more weeks. Then we can hold you in our arms." I sighed happily as I closed my eyes, imagining what it would be like to truly be a mother. Simply amazing.

However, that moment didn't last. I could feel the sheets become soaked as my water broke, wetting the bed around me. I gripped my stomach in pain as I began to breath heavily, and reach for my phone. "N-Not now..." I quickly pushed a button, and waited impatiently for an answer from Hux.

When he answered, he growled, "What, Iluna? I'm busy."

"You're busy?!" I scowled in pain. "My water just broke!" My eyes were watery as I tried to regulate my breathing.

Hux's eyes widened, and he said, "Breath. Remember what your midwife told you. Use the techni-"

"What do you think I'm doing?!" My hands held onto my stomach tightly as I glared at him angrily. "Hurry back... Please!"

"I'll try my best." Was his response. He hung up, leaving me in pain.

Again, I called someone. My midwife. "Vatari... My water broke."

"I'll be right there. Can you walk?" Vatari asked as I watched her move around, grabbing things for the delivery on the hologram.

"No..." I winced in pain and shook my head. "It hurts too bad. This is worse than getting shot by those Resistance fighters months ago..."

"I know. I know. Just breath for me, and don't hang up. I'll be right there with a doctor from the med bay." Her voice was gentle and comforting, which is exactly what I needed.

I rubbed my stomach with my shaky hands as I panted in pain. "A-Alright... I'm breathing..."

"Good." Vatari said calmly. She rushed into the med bay, and grabbed a doctor. Her choice was a female, as Hux didn't want a male involved. He was possessive like that. The doctor happened to be the same one that had helped me a few months prior. Her light blue lekku swayed behind her head as they hurried to my room with the needed equipment.

"We have to w-wait.." My voice shakily whimpered. "For the g-general..."

"Honey, there's no waiting for a baby. When he's ready to come, he's ready to come. There's no stopping that." The doctor said, prepping her equipment.

"He needs to be here!" I cried out in pain. "Please! There has to be something!"

"Miss Chamra, please. You have to push for me." Vatari grabbed my hand gently as I tearfully nodded, and squeezed her hand as I began to push. The contractions had gotten frequent at that point, and I knew Hux wouldn't be here to see. Maybe it was for the best, as I was a wreck, and very emotional due to my immense pain.

"It hurts!" I screamed in agony as I squeezed her hand. After a while, she let go and smiled.

"We see the head, Miss Chamra. Breath for a moment for me. Don't push. Just breath." Vatari smiled softly at me.

My breathing was ragged and abnormal as I tried not to push.

"Now push." She ordered as I nodded weakly, and squeezed her hand once more. I pushed for a little while longer, and tearfully stared at the doctor as I heard a cry, and saw my baby boy. "Congratulations, miss Chamra. It's a healthy baby boy."

"My baby..." My raspy voice let out as I smiled. The doctor cleaned him up as he cried loudly and strongly. Soon enough, he was placed in my arms, and I held him against me for skin-to-skin. As he cried and squirmed around, I stared at him adoringly, and didn't let go. "He's so perfect..." My whole world changed at that moment, and it was a change that made life everything that I wanted.

At that moment, Hux ran in, out of breath. "Iluna! I'm here!" That was the first time I had ever seen him without his stern posture, and calm and collected composure. He stopped and stared at me as I held our son in my arms, close to my chest, keeping him warm as he cried.

"Come... Meet our son." I smiled tiredly at him as he slowly approached, and stared at us silently. He took his glove off of his right hand, and gently brushed his hand across our son's tiny head.

"Our... son..." Hux smiled softly. The first smile I had seen in a while.

We had decided not to name him after Hux. "Lucian Valentin Hux." I whispered as he finally stopped crying, and closed his eyes to rest. "We can call him Luca for short."

"That sounds like a great idea." Hux kissed my forehead softly.

As we lay there, admiring our son, Vatari and the doctor made sure we were alright. They left after a few hours, and me, Hux, and Lucian were all left alone together.

"We finally have our son." I said with joy.

Hux simply nodded as he lay next to me, moving the bloodied sheets. "You are to continue staying in my quarters, and you will be taking care of him. I will do my best to assist you."

That was him showing his happiness, I believed. There were times I just couldn't tell, to be honest. But that was alright.

We both stared at Lucian lovingly, as he slept against my chest. He was just perfect.

Slowly, I looked back up at my lover, and asked, "Could you get him a change of clothes, and a pair of scratch mittens?" I had done all of the things and expecting, nervous, first time mother would. I looked up everything and anything related to caring for my coming newborn.

Hux nodded and headed to the closet. He grabbed a small, black onesie, and a pair of gray scratch mittens. "Here." He grabbed Lucian gently, and changed him slowly. To my surprise, he did it perfectly, and managed to do so without upsetting the baby.

"Impressive." I giggled as I let him hold our newborn. As I cuddled close to him, and lay my head on his shoulders, our son opened his eyes for the first time. They were a beautiful bright blue, just like his father's.

A family with a general of the First Order, on a secluded base, full of storm troopers, and other personnel. Not exactly how I'd imagined my future family would be. But that didn't matter. It was family, nonetheless, and I was happy. I only wondered what would await us on this journey, and what path our son would choose along the way.
