- Chapter 45✨
Leia adored her granddaughter. Her job as leader of the resistance kept her very busy, but somehow she still found time to spend with the baby. It reminded her why she'd joined the rebellion, and why she'd stayed on to lead the resistance.
Han was quite smitten with little Stel too, though he claimed that he was: to young and gorgeous to be called 'Grampa' just yet. Which made his wife roll her eyes. Rey actually thought it was funny.
Caring for a baby was a lot of work, more than Rey or her husband had realized. But they weren't alone, her family helped where they could. It also helped that Stel was a baby who slept a lot, and didn't have colic. Though like all baby's she had moments where she wore her parents ragged.
Kylo was amazed by just how much he loved his little Stel. Of course he'd known that he would love her, how could he not love something that was part of his wife? But his little girl was absolutely perfect. Even on the rare occasion that she wouldn't stop crying. Though that was quite annoying.
Three months later the baby's crying woke her parents, and of course it would be at 3:00am. Kylo let out an annoyed sigh. Of course Stel would wake up when it was his turn to get up with her. She couldn't possibly sleep like she had last night. Still, it wasn't something he could ignore, so he got up and quietly padded over to the baby's room.
He smiled seeing Stel reach out to him with her tiny hands, and carefully picked her up wrapping her in a blanket. As he'd suspected, she didn't need to be changed, so she must be hungry. "And what have you to say for yourself young lady?" He said softly, gently tapping the baby's nose. She scrunched her tiny face, fussing. "Oh I see, no remorse at all? All right then, let's get you to your mother." He said, gently cuddling the baby and kissing her downy head.
Rey woke up the moment the baby started crying, she couldn't quite help it. She grumbled, as she felt Kylo leave the bed. Then she sat up to wait. At least she didn't have to actually get up, that was something. She yawned, feeling her husband sit down on the bed beside her.
He gently kissed Rey's cheek, handing the baby to her.
"You, little one, are very lucky you're so cute." She said kissing the baby's forehead.
Back at Starkiller base, Snoke was preparing to send an assassin to kill his former apprentice, and his wife, if possible. He was not about to be thwarted again.
