Ben Solo
By: Sailormoon7771
Ben screamed as the medical droids pulled him onto the cold operating table. "Where's Rey?" he said as they gave him medicine putting him to sleep, he felt himself drifting off. Rey and Leia still sat on the floor Rey cried in Leia's arms as Leia rocked her back and forth. Poe walked over and kneeled beside them, "Rey." He said softly, "he'll be alright." Rey turned around, as tears streamed down her face, "can you tell me for sure Poe?" he shook his head, "I can't, but I know he's going to be fine. You're not doing yourself or your baby any good." Luke stood up, "We can go wait outside the operating room." He suggested, "I mean there is no use sitting in this dark hallway." Poe offered to help Rey up she grabbed his hand as she stood to her feet.
Leia stood up Luke stood in the hallway, "Leia wait." She turned around, "If he." Leia cleared her throat, "don't say that Luke." Luke played with his beard, "they have a force bond like us, Leia. If he dies she's going to be lost." A tear fell from Leia's eye, "why are they bothering us, it started with father, and now it maybe ending with my son and his family." Luke shrugged, "it's hard to say, let's go." Finn and Poe sat in a chair outside the operating room Rey peered into the round window in the door as she paced back and forth, "Rey?" Luke questioned, she looked. "you should sit down. It's not going to make him come out any faster." Rey shook her head, "I don't want to, Master Luke." Luke hugged Rey, Rey was shocked, "What was that for?" he smiled, "support." Luke shook his head, "no, that's a lie, Rey I love you." Rey smiled, "Ever since you came into my life you've been like the daughter I never had." Rey hugged Luke, "I love you too." Luke walked away, and sat down, Rey stood outside the door as she saw one of the medical droids come towards the door, she moved just before it came through the door.
"General Leia, Mrs. Solo." The droid said in his robotic voice, "He will be fine, he just needs some rest, and no fighting for at least a month." Rey and Leia looked at each other, "Is he awake?" Rey asked the droid nodded, "you may go see him." Rey burst through the doors, Leia stayed behind, "How bad is it?" The droid moved away from the door, "It was pretty bad, your son is very strong, and lucky to be alive. He got shot in a very delicate area of the back, the shot he sustained actually broke his back, but we were able to repair it all the rest is really going to ensure it heals properly, he may experience some partial or full paralysis, but it's only temporary until the implants fuse to his spine." Leia's mouth dropped, "My poor son. You said he was awake?" the droid nodded, "would you like me to lead you to him General?" Leia smiled, "That would be great thank you."
Ben laid in his bed groggy, Rey stood at the doorway, "Ben!" she smiled, he looked at her and smiled, "Sweetheart?" Rey ran to him and kissed him, tears ran down Rey's face and landed on his he reached up wiping tears away, "He no crying you're supposed to be my Rey of sunshine." Rey smiled, "I thought I was going to lose you." Ben felt the urge to move his leg, he tried his leg felt heavy, "Rey?" She put her hand on his face, "I can't move my leg." Leia walked in, "Ben, it's temporary." Rey's mouth dropped, "Ben you're going to be in tip top shape in no time." Luke, Finn and Poe walked in, "How's my favorite nephew." Ben crossed his arms, "I'm crippled." Luke, cleared his throat, "I'm sorry." Rey put her hand on his shoulder, "Ben, the doctor said it was temporary." Leia nodded, "only until the spinal implant infused. Now I think it will be easier on you and Rey to move back into the compound until then." Ben nodded, Rey, smiled. "How long?" Ben asked, "at least month it could be sooner."
That evening Ben was moved into the compound, Rey walked into the room with some soup and bread, "Ben, are you hungry?" he grunted, "not now, I need something for the pain." Rey nodded setting the tray down, "come here." She smiled, "let me get you a pill first ok." Picked up the bottle off the dresser, and opened them, getting two out. "here you go." Rey looked around for some water, "I can't believe I forgot your water, I'm so sorry." Ben grabbed Rey's arm, "hey it's ok just give me the pills." She put them in his hand, he popped them both in his mouth and swallowed them. "see, now sit down a minute. Have you eaten yet?" she shook her head, "bring the tray." She went over and got it setting it on his lap.
Ben picked up the spoon scooping some soup he held the spoon to Rey's mouth, "here you have some." Rey shook her head, "I can't do that." He nodded, "I'll take the next bite, you take this one." Rey bent down and took a bite, "you can't starve the younglings out." Rey smiled, "younglings?" he nodded, "Twins run in my family, it's a good chance." Rey gasped as Ben took a bite of soup, he looked up, "What?" she smiled, "I think the baby moved." Ben put his hand on her stomach, "I don't feel anything, are you sure?" she shrugged, "I don't know I've never done this before." He scooped up some more soup, and held the spoon to Rey's lips, she smiled and took a bite. Leia knocked on the door. "Come in," Ben called out. Leia smiled, "how are you feeling?" Ben shrugged, "alright for now." Leia kissed Ben on the forehead, "I wanted to come in and say good night." Ben kissed Leia on the cheek, "Good Night."
Rey and Ben settled down for the night falling asleep, Rey tossed and turned as nightmares flooded her mind. Ben laid on the ground in pain, Rey tried to get up, but she sank deeper and deeper into the sinking sands of Jakku. "BEN!" she shouted again, as she watched Snoke hover over him with his lightsaber just before Snoke impaled him Rey woke up with a scream. Ben jumped, Rey was breathing heavily while she sobbed at the edge of the bed, "Rey" Ben reached for her arm, she turned around quickly. Trying to catch her breath she stared at Ben, "was it just a dream?" her hands trembled, "what?" Rey laid down letting Ben hug her, he pushed her hair back, "what was the dream about?" she hugged Ben, "Snoke almost killed you." Ben sighed, "he's not going to kill me." Rey looked at Ben, "he almost did." He shook his head, "no that was Phasma." She rested her head on his chest, "ordered by Snoke no doubt." Ben jumped as he heard something outside. "Shh…" he put his finger on Rey's lips. "Why?" she whispered, "do you hear that?" Rey tried to focus. "Shots are being fired." He nodded, "quick! In the closet." Rey shrugged, "I'll help you." Ben used the force and got up from the bed, "Ben, how are you doing that?" he smiled, "the force, now come on he grabbed the lightsaber off the dresser and they walked into the closet he grunted as he fell to the floor holding his back in pain, "are you ok?" he nodded, "it just hurts." Rey smiled, "you should have let me help you." He shook his head, "no time."
The intruder alarm went off throughout the building, Ben sat by the door of the closet with his lightsaber in his hands. Leia ran into the room, "are you two alright?" Ben nodded, "Be careful Mom." She nodded, "I will be. I need to get to the command to activate the shield." Rey stood up, "you haven't done it yet?" Leia shook her head, "I put the final touches on today, but I didn't activate it yet." Poe ran in, "Ready General?" he questioned Leia nodded, "you two alright?" Poe asked, "Fine." Luke and Finn walked in, "Ready for a vacation?" Leia asked. Luke raised his eyebrows, "Hey I was just beginning to like this." Finn laughed, "Me too." Rey smiled, "You all be careful." Luke threw a blaster to Rey, "you might need that." She nodded. "thank you."
They walked out the door and into the hallway the red lights flashed off and on as the intruder alarm sounded, "Everyone ready?" Luke asked. They nodded, the hallway leading to the command was dark, and long a Stormtrooper came out with his baton, Finn powered up his saber the gold light lit up the hallway, and killed the trooper. They made it to the front of the door of the command, Leia opened the door slowly so it didn't squeak "We made it." She whispered as they walked over to the shield.
Rey sat on the floor, "Ben are you alright?" he nodded, "medicine is wearing off, but I'm alright." They heard a low rumble almost as a growl, "What's that?" Rey asked. "sounds like Snoke." Ben whispered. "Hide." She slid under some clothes, Ben pulled himself up he grunted. "Kylo Ren," Snoke grumbled. Ben's breath was labored, "What do you want?" Ben powered his saber. Snoke rolled his eyes, "Don't bother I can't fight you." Rey stood up in the closet hiding in the shadows, "Be careful" she mouthed. Ben walked over to Snoke letting go of the wall, "You're Mace Windu?" Ben asked as pain shot up his back and legs. Rey's mouth dropped. "You let pain cloud your judgment." Snoke held his hand out using the force to throw Ben back. Ben grunted, Rey came out of the closet "Ben!" she shouted. "Rey no!" She held her hand out using the force against Snoke, he countered Rey screamed as she got a headache, Ben stood up, "Rey."
Leia typed frantically on a computer, "Come on load!" she hit the computer. And the shield activated, The Stormtroopers outside just blew up as if they had been taken out by a blaster. Leia cheered "It worked!" she shouted. Luke smiled, "good job Leia." He hugged his sister. "We better go check on everyone." Leia nodded, "I'll go check on Ben and Rey." Finn offered, "I'll come too." Poe smiled, "you may need help to get Ben off the floor."
Rey still stood trying to fight Snoke off with the force when suddenly she felt Ben grab her arm, Poe and Finn ran into the room as Snoke flew back. He started to get up when Finn held a lightsaber to him. "What?" Snoke rumbled, "FN2187." Finn got closer with his lightsaber, "Who the hell are you?" Finn asked feeling something familiar about him. Snoke got up and with a cloud of smoke, he was gone. Ben stood up, he yelled out in pain and sat on the Ben. Rey hugged him. "Let me get your medicine." She said weakly, "don't worry about it. He pulled Rey onto the bed making her sit down. Poe walked over to them, "Rey, now Snoke knows about the baby." She nodded, "I couldn't let him kill Ben." She yawned, "I'm tired." Ben sighed, "of course you are, you just tried to overpower Mace Windu." Finn turned around, "How do you know." Ben put his arm around Rey, "I got in his head."
Rey breathed heavily, Leia and Luke ran in "Are you alright we heard well lots of crashes?" Luke asked Rey shook her head, "We're fine." Ben looked up, "Snoke is Mace." Luke and Leia's mouth dropped, "you're sure?" Leia asked Finn sank to the floor, "How did this happen?" Luke looked down, "At least he didn't cut your hand off." Rey smiled, "It'll work out Finn." Leia sat down by Rey, "What's wrong?" she asked looking in Rey's eyes, "She got into a force fight with him." Luke raised his eyebrows, "Rey, lay down and get to sleep." Leia hugged Ben, "You too." Finn sat on the floor in shock, "I can't believe I'm related to Snoke."
Luke laughed, "The shock will wear off." Poe grabbed Finn and dragged him out Rey laughed, "I'm sorry. I know it's not funny." Ben smiled, "Lay down he got up and walked to the other side of the bed holding his back. Rey laid down, "I'm sorry, I didn't listen to you." He smiled, "I didn't think you would Rey." She pulled Ben's arms around her, "Do you really think I'm that stubborn?" he smiled, "You know when I started loving you?" she shook her head, "tell me." He kissed her, "Before we started our fight on Starkiller, when you held your hand out and out maneuvered me in the force, I knew you weren't afraid of me. I knew you were the one." Rey smiled, "Even though I kicked your butt." He smiled, "Even then." He kissed Rey's forehead, "Good Night." Rey closed her eyes. "Good Night."
