A/N Uh, enjoy! Review?
"Muahahahahaaa…"
A sleepy Ben opens one eye and looks up at Rey, who is sitting up beside him, cross-legged, on their bed. He tries and fails to stop himself from chuckling at his love, completely naked except for his old mask over her head.
The helmet whips towards the sound of Ben's laughter as he moves to sit up beside her.
"What are you doing?"
He asks, shaking with laughter and the familiar mechanical voice answers him.
"Trying to figure out how you didn't have helmet hair all the time. How did you see anything out of this thing?!"
Ben shakes his head and rubs a hand over his face before looking back at her ridiculousness and bursts out laughing again. He grabs a pillow and whacks her in the helmet lightly, making her laugh too.
"I don't think the mask does for me what it does for you. I prefer to see your beautiful face when you're moaning my name."
He says teasingly and Rey chuckles before reaching up to release the mask and pull it off her head.
"Much better." He says a second before tackling her to the bed and moving over her to kiss her neck.
His hands are busy running over her lithe body and Rey's breath is already starting to catch as Ben shifts over her completely and settled himself between her welcoming legs.
A sharp knock at the door has them scrambling for the covers as Maz Kanata's voice calls from the other side of the door.
"Sorry to break up the follow-up party but your daughter is hungry, and the General is requesting both of you downstairs."
Message delivered, Rey and Ben hear her shuffle away before turning to each other with matching expressions of startled disappointment.
"Time's up, I guess."
Rey says, placing one more lingering kiss on Ben's pouty lips before moving off the bed to find some clothes. Ben flops back on the bed with a giant sigh as he mumbles something that sounds like,
'What Leia wants, Leia gets.'
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
It's very early when Rey and Ben get downstairs, and Rey reclaims Hanna and sits the nine-month-old up on her lap for feeding while Leia holds court over an entire side of Maz's bar. Everyone, including the droids are being given tasks to perform before the wedding.
Ben snuggles his girls in close under his arm and half listens to his Mother giving orders to everyone about the wedding, when he notices Rey's face paling the more Leia talks.
Hey, you ok over there?
He asks and Rey gives him a slightly pained look with her smile.
I might throw up.
She thinks to him and Ben nods solemnly.
She's gone power mad… must be a Skywalker thing…
He thinks back at her, jokingly, and Rey covers her snort of laughter with a cough.
Finn, sitting on Rey's other side, elbows her lightly and whispers while Leia's attention is elsewhere.
"Wanna share with the class?"
Rey looks to Ben for a second and he nods at her before she leans towards Finn to relay Ben's offhand joke. Finn finds it harder to control his amusement and draws some more attention when he laughs, but thankfully Leia doesn't catch on.
You know, you're allowed to say something about all this. In fact, you can say no to all of it, if that's what you want.
Rey gives Ben a genuine smile this time and then leans over to place a soft kiss on his lips.
I had a moment of panic before my morning caf. It's actually kind of nice being fussed over... Just this once.
Hanna takes that moment to crawl over to Ben's lap for a cuddle, reaching up to touch his face.
"Dada." She garbles and everyone in the vicinity freezes and turns to stare at a giggling Hanna.
"Was that…" Finn begins and Rey nods as a wide smile spreads across her face.
Kato uses the opportunity to talk loudly over Leia and direct everyone else's attention to the baby.
"I'm sorry General, but I think we need a timeout, on account of some first words over here."
Then everyone turns to find Ben and Rey beaming down at Hanna as she happily chews on her fingers
"What do you think little Starlight? Say 'Dada'?" Ben says, while pointing at himself and Hanna giggles louder.
"Dadadadada…" She babbles and everyone cheers.
The next ten minutes or so is taken up by cuddles and smiles before Maz steps in and hollers at all of them as she shoos them out of the room.
"Hey! Don't you all have somewhere to be? A wedding doesn't just happen on its own!"
