CHAPTER EIGHT
"Kylo please don't be mad at Rey about this. I was the one who wasn't watching what she was saying. Blame me." Jessica pleaded.
"Blame you?! Kylo asked incredulously. I'm not blaming you, in fact I'm very happy with you for revealing this secret. Now why don't you run along so me and Rey can talk."
"Yes Jessica, get going now. I'll talk to you later Rey said angrily."
With a hurt look on her face Jessica quickly walked away.
"Listen Kylo I can explain..."
"Explain?! He asked her furiously. Explain to me why you kept the fact that I have a daughter a secret for over a year. Why the hell didn't you tell me sooner?"
Rey gulped "2 years she murmured quietly. I found out I was pregnant the night of our graduation party."
Kylo looked ready to explode at this news. "You kept this secret from me for 2 years?! How could you do this to me? I deserved to know that I'm a father!"
"You want to know why I didn't tell you? I didn't tell you because I saw you kissing that horror. And despite what you say, I know what I saw. She was kissing you and you were enjoying it! And that's why I decided not to tell you. I didn't want my daughter to have a rotten person like you as a father.
"Listen here you lying bitch, I did not lie to you when I said that kiss with Bazine meant NOTHING! How many times do I have to repeat myself before it sticks in your fat head?"
"You can repeat yourself a million times and I still won't believe you. And if you think I'm letting you near my daughter after talking to me like that, you're mistaken."
"Oh I'm going to be spending time with my daughter alright. Did you forget my mother is a lawyer? I plan on suing for full custody of Satine and I'll win. You will never see your daughter again unless I say so."
Tears started to roll down Rey's face at Kylo's threat. "Kylo she pleaded, you can't do this! I'm her mother, Satine needs me, I'm all she's ever known. There are certain things that only I can provide her with."
"You should have thought of that when you decided to keep the truth from me. But don't worry I'm sure I can look after her just fine. After all I'm friends with Phasma and she has experience with babies, I can go to her if I need help."
"Can't we talk about this like two rational adults? I mean think about your career, how are you going to take a baby on the road if you become a singer? It'll never work and it'll be stressful for her. If you won't think about me think about her Rey begged him."
"I'll make it work he said confidently."
He began to walk away before he turned around again.
"One last thing. In regards to our project. I'll work on my portion and you work on your potion then we'll get together a couple days before it's due and see what we came up with. I can't stand the sight of you anymore."
Then before Rey could protest he walked back to the campus angrily.
Rey broke down and cried. A comforting pat on the shoulder caused her to look up. She saw the concerned face of Poe Dameron looking at her.
"What's wrong? Why are you so upset?"
"Between sniffles Rey explained the situation to him. By the end of it Poe was looking at her with a mix of sympathy and anger.
"I told you to tell him sooner. Now it's a huge mess as I predicted it would be. I'm going to kill him for what he said to you though. He had NO right to say those things to you. I'm behind you in support every step of the way. I know Finn and Jessica will be too. In the meantime though where's Kylo? I'm gonna teach him a lesson for talking to you like that."
Rey laughed through her tears at Poe's words. "Don't bother with him Poe, he's not worth getting in trouble over. And thanks for supporting me, I'm gonna need it in the months to come."
"That's what friends are for hun. Now let's get back inside and back to your dorm so you can calm down."
She nodded in agreement and after checking to make sure Satine was still sleeping, she was but was stirring slightly.
"Come on sweetie let's get back to the dorm and mommy will change your diaper."
Once back at her dorm, Poe went to find Finn so he could fill him in on what happened.
"Rey thank god your back! I was worried after I left you alone with Kylo. Are you alright? What happened?"
Rey quickly changed Satine's diaper then laid her down in her bassinet.
As soon as she was settled Rey whirled on her friend.
"No I am not alright Jessica. Thanks to you not watching what you were saying Kylo is going to make my life a living hell! He's going to sue for full custody of Satine."
"What! Jessica exclaimed. He can't do that. Your her mother she needs you!"
"Well apparently he can do that, and his mother, Leia Organa is a lawyer so his chances are pretty good. Why weren't you paying attention? This could have been avoided if you would've just kept quiet."
"I'll make it up to you Rey, I promise!"
"A lot of good that's gonna do me, by now Kylo's probably told his friends what a lying bitch I am. No doubt he's called his mother too and I'll have to deal with that. Go ahead and make it up to me if you can. Though I highly doubt it."
Jessica grabbed the door handle to leave. Don't worry Rey, I WILL make it up to you, you'll see!"
In a blink she rushed off to do who knows what. Once she was gone are slammed the door angrily behind her, then picked up Satine and cuddled her close while she cried.
To Be Continued...
A/N- Well that was intense. It had to be written though. Things are going to be rough for the next little while. I'll chuck in some lighter moments between Finn and Jessica.
Kylo is going to be a nasty man for awhile. He thinks that he deserves full custody of Satine because of Rey's lies. Will he get it, we'll see.
And how awesome a friend is Poe? I know I'd want him in my corner. And what's Jessica got up her sleeve? Only time will tell.
Thanks for reading everyone. I know this isn't as light a read but I promise there will be lighter moments coming up!
