Two months had elapsed since Rey had last seen Ben. There was no hiding her pregnancy at this point, one glance and you could tell. Her belly stuck out like a sore thumb and she found she wasnt able to remain as active as she had been in the past. It was harder for her to catch her breath, she was slower, and she had to keep her feet up as much as possible when she had down time. Plus she had become even more emotional than before, growing angry over the littlest things and sad if she so much as looked at a beautiful sunset. All these changes were driving her crazy and she couldn't wait until she could finally bring this child into the world and get it out of her small body.

Poe, Rose, and Leia had all been very supportive and helped her with anything she needed. Rose had even knitted a few small outfits for the baby and Leia had given her an ivory receiving blanket she had used when Ben was born. Rey found it all so touching, she had cried when given both of these gifts. Her child may not have much in this galaxy, but she promised herself he would know love and compassion if nothing else.

Poe had been a remarkable stand in father figure, though he was frequently busy on missions and supply runs. No one in the resistance even questioned if it was his baby or not because he treated her so well. Knowing she had been seeing Ben in private hadn't changed his view of her. Though he had expressed how stupid it was to trust him like that and keep it a secret so long.

Rey lay in her cot with her feet on a bundle of blankets fanning herself with a book to try and keep cool. She had her tent flaps open to allow in any breeze that may decide to whisper through. The humidity of this planet never ceased to amaze her. Poe, just getting back from a mission, peeked his head inside, holding his helmet under his arm.

"How's my girls doing in here?" He said smiling. Rey grinned and rolled her eyes.

"We're fine, though I don't think the baby will appreciate being called a girl when it clearly comes out a boy."

"No...I'm pretty sure it's gonna be a girl," he walked into the tent and sat on a stool beside her cot placing his hand on her belly. He was one of the only ones she would allow to do this. She hated people touching her. It made her feel very self conscious.

She felt the baby roll around slightly at his touch.

"See she knows I'm talking about her," he said, "don't worry, I told your mom you were a girl. She doesn't believe me but she'll see," he spoke to her belly. Rey laughed.

"How did the mission go baby whisperer?" She asked.

"I guess as good as could be expected. Ran into some trouble with a few bounty hunters but...quickly lost them."

"No sign of the first order?"

He sighed and shook his head.

"Nope. Not a single fighter in sight. Which is fine with me. Of course with Kylo back in power as long as his feelings for you hold out, we should be safe."

Rey's smile faded a bit thinking about Ben. It was hard the first week he was gone, she cried a time or two alone in her tent, but she had quickly gotten back into the swing of being without him once again. But she worried about him constantly. He hadn't been in contact with her at all, and although she could feel through the force he was alive, that was the extent. She just wished he would tell her he was okay.

"Sorry, I know that's a touchy subject..." Poe realized quickly she was acting different.

"No, no it's okay. I just hope he's okay is all," she ended it with that.

"Well, anyway, I better go. Always work to do around here." He leaned down and kissed Rey's forehead then left. Never had she had a friend she appreciated more than Poe. He was truly all a woman could ask for. She felt kind of selfish hogging him to herself, but he didn't seem to mind. He was too busy for a relationship anyway so this gave him an excuse to stay single.

Another hour passed and Rey had just started to close her eyes from the heat and tiredness when she felt a cold chill run down her spine. Oh great not this again...She sat up and out of instinct looked around. At first all she heard was cold laughter ringing through her own head. But it was followed by the creepy voice of her grandfather.

"What did I tell you? Kylo Ren has returned to power and left you alone. I did try to warn you..."

Rey knew she had to be careful and not let on that this was all part of their plan. She could play victim for awhile to keep him from getting wind of their plan. She had to, Ben's life was on the line.

"Listen, I'm not in the mood to hear your speech about my bad taste in men."

She heard the laughter echo once more.

"Oh on the contrary...I think he's a great man. Obviously he knows what side of the force he truly belongs on, unlike you."

"I know exactly where I belong thank you," Rey hissed out.

"Where you belong, dear granddaughter, is on the sith throne. Kylo Ren by your side. The two of you unstoppable and so powerful, the galaxy will quiver with fear at the very mention of your names. I know you've seen it...and I know some secret part of you wants it..."

"The only thing I 'want' is for you to leave me alone and stop getting in my head," she said venomously.

"Very well, very well. Though I wouldn't get too comfortable where you are. The first order is planning a raid of the very planet you're on."

"Liar...why would u tell me such information. Do you think I'm stupid?"

"I think you're confused and need some guidance...I could help you with that you know..."

Rey almost laughed. "Okay, well thanks for the warning, I'm quite busy if you don't mind."

"You'll see, dear grandchild. You'll see."

His voice faded and the feeling of him disappeared over the next few seconds. After the initial shock wore off she felt adrenaline kick in. If there really was an attack imminent on this planet, they needed to go. And soon. She slipped her shoes on and jogged out to find Leia. She had to hunt for awhile before she found her and Chewy talking near one of the resistance ships.

"General!" She jogged up to her holding her belly.

"What's wrong? Is the baby okay?" Leia looked concerned.

"What? Oh, yeah it's fine. I need to tell you something important."

"What is it?"

"Palpatine just spoke to me. Somehow he's figured out a way to get into my mind I think just to torment me..but he told me the first order was planning a raid here. He didn't say when only that it would happen."

"Are you sure, Rey? You don't think he was toying with you?"

"I'm not sure, but I think it's safer if we leave just in case. Ben may not hurt us but I can't speak for the others. He may not even be in charge anymore for all I know. He hasn't been in contact since he left."

Leia nodded in understanding.

"Okay. I'll tell everyone to start packing. We can hide on Ahch-To. With Luke gone there's no reason we can't use that planet as our new base. And the first order won't be able to track us there."

A few hours later, nearly everything was packed on ships, people were rushing around to grab anything last minute they could, and the roar of engines starting up broke the calm jungle noises. Rey felt a small wave of sadness rush over her looking around at this planet as she stared out of the glass of the large ship she was in. It was where Ben and her had really connected and gotten to know each other. What if Ben needed them and now didn't know where to find them? She knew it was a selfish thought and probably a dangerous one...but she couldn't help it. This place would always have a special place in her heart.

The last ship was loaded and everyone was accounted for, Bb8 helped them with the map to Ahch-To, and they set their coordinates to it, then they lifted up into the sky and began their journey, wasting no time.

"So what's this planet like?" Rose came up to stand beside Rey, breaking her train of thought.

"Pretty mild temperature, rains a lot, mostly water with a few islands. There's not much in way of supplies or food, but it's well hidden so well be safe at least."

"Oh well," Rose said looking out of the glass as well, "we have eachother. As long as we're safe thats all we need. The rest we can send small missions out for."

Rey smiled at her. She really was a truly remarkable person. She seemed to see the light in every situation and always had good advice. Rose wandered away to help with something and Rey stood looking out at the beautiful stars of the galaxy by herself, one hand subconsciously on her belly, her thoughts elsewhere as usual. The baby kicked her slightly and she grinned in spite of herself.

"Don't worry," she said quietly, "Well be there safe and sound soon."
