Here's the wedding... I had so much fun writing this!

Chapter 15

Rey sat as still as she could while Leia attempted to fix her hair for the wedding. She had never experienced this extravagant amount of primping, yet she reveled in it. It was amazing to her how she could go from looking extremely normal and boring, in her mind, to looking and feeling like an absolute princess. Rey was brought out of her thoughts when Leia accidentally tugged on a strand of hair that she was braiding back.

"Sorry dear, I didn't mean to pull," she exclaimed, a concerned yet determined look grazing her face. Rey wished she could watch Leia as her delicate fingers floated through each strand of hair, and strategically placing each piece. Leia had refused to allow Rey to look in the mirror until she was completely finished. "It'll ruin the surprise," she had told her.

Rey now sat with her hands clasped in her lap, maybe a bit too hard for her knuckles were turning white, as butterflies flew harshly around her stomach. She couldn't believe that she was actually going to become Kylo Ren's wife, and he would be her husband. Just four days ago, Rey had accepted the beautiful ring, unknowing of how soon their plans would have to be carried out. She was excited to say the least, but at the same time, she was scared. She had never grown up with her parents, so she was unaware how a marriage generally played out. She didn't know what her responsibilities were going to be, and how much time she would have to devote towards their marriage. Will it be the same as now, or will it be completely different? She hoped it would be relatively the same, for she loved her current life with Kylo.

Rey sat in the same chair that she had been sitting in for a good hour or so, still waiting patiently for Leia to be finished with her hair. Her mind shifted to the dress that was delicately draped over the chair nearby. She was very adamant about not wearing a dress to the wedding since she had never worn one before, and quite frankly she felt quite ridiculous. Leia had insisted though, stating that every woman should feel like a princess once in their lives, and a dress comes with being a princess.

Leia had worked tirelessly on preparing the dress for Rey. They had used the fabric from a couple of the curtains hanging in various rooms at the base, and Rey couldn't have been more pleased. While she didn't want a dress, Leia seemed to create a garment that fit her on every personality level imaginable. The soft and silky fabric hugged her around her chest and waist, and then billowed out to fall around her mid-calf. They had found a few decorative samples of lace in a supply closet, so Leia strategically placed this fabric around the bodice. The dress hugged Rey in all the right places, yet was still satisfying for her modest taste. She couldn't wait to see the look on Kylo's face when he first catches a glimpse of her.

Leia had informed Rey of an old tradition that, in her opinion, every bride had to follow. She explained the four-step tradition so that Rey could fully understand, and then provided her with the necessary items. She explained that every bride had to have "something old", in which Rey didn't know what to use. She hadn't exactly been able to have items from her mother or father, since she hadn't known them. Leia immediately knew what to do in this case, calling upon the old woman that had helped Rey and Kylo when they first arrived at the base, the same woman that Rey learned had helped Luke at his academy. When Rey's parents had sent her to Luke, they gave her a beautiful bracelet in which her father had given her mother. The old woman, who Rey learned her name was Andromeda, kept the bracelet in hopes that she would see Rey again. Rey was honored to wear the bracelet, knowing that a part of her mother would be with her on her wedding day.

When Leia mentioned the "something new", Rey had immediately thought of her dress. While Leia and Rey disagreed on this fact, Leia believing that the dress wasn't necessarily new since the fabric was being reused, Rey had eventually had her way, insisting that the dress was new to her.

Next, Leia included the "something borrowed" aspect of the tradition. She immediately went to her quarters and returned with a silver necklace that had a small diamond on the pendant. She brushed Rey's hair back and carefully clasped it around her neck. The chain wasn't too long, bringing the diamond just above her breasts. Leia had explained that Han had given the necklace to her when he came back from one of his long missions. Rey immediately fell in love with the necklace and was honored to have to opportunity to wear it and show it off.

Lastly, Leia mentioned that Rey needed "something blue" in order to complete her outfit. She had found a hair clip that had a few blue stones in the center, surrounded by clear diamonds with the occasional sparkling white pearl. Rey was in awe of its beauty, brought out of her thoughts as she felt the clip fasten to the side of her head. "And with that, I think we are all finished with your hair," Leia smiled.

Rey was extremely excited, not only to see the finished product, but to just get out of that lousy chair. She stood up quickly and went to turn towards the mirror. "Wait! Don't look yet!" Leia had almost yelled at her. "We still have to do your makeup and you have to put on your dress. I don't want you to see your appearance until we are completely finished."

"Can't I just have a peak now?" Rey groaned. All of this anticipation was killing her.

"Absolutely not. Trust me dear, it will all make sense once you see the look all put together. Now come back her," she ordered as she gestured to the chair, one hand on her hip. She quickly applied a light layer of makeup, just so Rey would look natural, with a little glow. Then, Rey stepped into her wedding dress as Leia fastened the back. She slipped on her shoes, in which she had borrowed from Leia, and was now completely finished.

"Now dear, it is time," Leia cheerfully states as she brought Rey over towards the mirror. Rey stared dumbfounded at the mirror for a few moments, just drinking it all in. She almost didn't recognize the woman standing in front of her. She could still recognize her obvious personal features, but she revealed in the fact that she looked much older and more mature. She finally understood what if felt like to be elegant, and dare she say, beautiful.

"Absolutely breathtaking," Leia sighed as she watched Rey's eyes glow at her appearance. "Kylo will no doubt be amazed," she stated with a wink.

Just then, there was a knock on the door. "Are you two finished in there?" Finn's voice was heard from outside the room. She could sense the amusement in his voice, for he knew how much she was dreading the fact that she would have to sit in a chair for so long while Leia attempted to make her look descent.

"You can come in!" Leia called back, looking in the mirror to make sure she looked presentable. Finn slowly opened the door, making sure that she was descent in her dress before fully entering the room. When he really got a good look at her, his jaw dropped to the floor. "Wow Rey, you look absolutely incredible!"

"Thank you," Rey blushed as she gave him a small twirl, showing off her entire outfit.

"You even almost look like a girl!" Finn joked, receiving a smack from Rey.

"Don't make me regret asking you to walk me down the aisle!" she expressed with a huff, smiling against her own will.

Leia chuckled from the corner of the room. "I better go take my seat. The wedding starts in ten minutes. Remember, when the music begins, that's when you make your way down the aisle. Alright, now don't be late. I wouldn't want to have to come and find you both!" she half joked as she whisked out of the room and towards the Grand Hall where the wedding would take place.

Finn and Rey shared a glance. "Well, we better get on our way. Wouldn't want to be late," he winked at her as she placed her arm in the crook of the arm that he offered towards her. "Let's get you married!"

Finn and Rey slowly made their way to the Hall in which Rey knew that Kylo would be eagerly waiting for her. They hadn't had much of a chance to spend time together within the last couple of days, since Rey was usually with Leia making wedding plans. Though Rey didn't care, Leia had to make sure every single detail was perfected.

When Finn and Rey were about to turn the last corner, making them visible to everyone attending, she strictly pulled them to a stop, planting her feet firmly in the ground. "Rey-"

"I don't know how to do this," she began but was stopped by a voice in her head. I can feel you my love. I can't wait to actually see you. This was all the encouragement she needed as she prepared herself to walk down the aisle. Her breathing was starting to become staggered as she imagined what Kylo would do when he laid eyes upon her. Before she had too much time to overthink, the music started playing.

It was a beautiful string melody and Rey was almost distracted by how calm the music made her feel, she almost forgot to start walking. Finn coughed quietly and looked towards her, offering her a small smile. "Are you ready?" He asked, eyes lighting up. She nodded her head and the pair turned the corner.

Rey's eyes darted everywhere, and it took her a while to decide what to land on. She saw the people all standing and staring at her, in which they all had wide smiles on their faces. She saw the flowers along the aisle and she could faintly smell them as Finn accompanied her farther. As she got closer to the front, she began to recognize all of the faces of her friends. Leia and Luke were located in the front row, next to Chewbacca. She also saw Poe behind them, next to BB-8, C3PO, and R2D2. She gave them all smiles as she made her way towards Kylo.

Kylo. She had been so distracted that she completely forgot to look towards the most important person in the room. Her eyes darted towards him and were immediately glued onto his appearance. He was wearing dark black dress robes and his hair was combed back nicely. Their eyes locked and she could feel the amount of love and adoration that he felt for her pouring into their bond. She offered him a smile that lit up her eyes, and his eyes gleamed as his lips tilted upwards.

Rey had noticed that her and Finn had stopped walking, having reached the end of the aisle. The lieutenant ministering, whom Rey recognized as a man that worked alongside Leia, said a few short words to Finn, but she wasn't listening. Her eyes were still locked on Kylo's and her thoughts only revolved around him. She was broken of her spell when Finn pulled her to him and placed a chaste kiss to her head. "Have fun," he whispered to her, smirking, as he backed away and took his seat next to Poe.

Rey took a step forward as Kylo grasped her hands, turning her towards him. She knew that the lieutenant was speaking, but could only hear her own heartbeat in her ears and the thoughts coursing through her head. She was once again snapped out of her thoughts as her name was said.

Vows were exchanged, along with the rings. Rey had tears streaming down her face as they both spoke their own personal loving words to each other, seemingly forgetting that they were surrounded by most members of the Resistance. Before they knew it, Kylo was instructed to kiss his bride. He leaned in very slowly, moving his hands to the sides of her face.

"I love you," he whispered as he touched his lips to hers, a wide smile spreading on his face. He pulled back to quickly for her liking, and she was about to lean in for more when she remembered who was around her. They separated, hands clasped, and turned towards the people who were cheering for them. Sharing a glance, they made their way back up the aisle, away from the people of the Resistance, so that they could spend some alone time before the party that Leia had planned to celebrate their wedding.

They knew that they would have at least an hour before they were expected to show up at the party, so Kylo took Rey back to their quarters. Once they entered, Kylo immediately pressed Rey gently up against the door, claiming her lips as his own. "You look absolutely beautiful, my love," he whispered as he trailed kissed down her neck. Rey could only give him a small smile in return as she brought her hands to his hair, tangling them in his long, dark locks.

He brought his hands around to her back as his fingers played with the clasps of her dress. Rey's eyes quickly widened as she brought her hands to his arms to stop him. She could tell that he was about to protest, so she interrupted him. "You and I both know that your mother will kill us if she even senses one bit that we left the wedding to have sex before the party," she began, staring him in the eyes, in which she could easily read his disappointment.

"Make love," he corrected her as he leaned in for a light kiss, brushing his lips softly against hers. "As much as this disappoints me, you're absolutely right," he teased her. "Good think we will have plenty of time to do this tonight," he pulled back with a wink and went to sit on the bed.

"Something to look forward to," she giggled as she followed him and sat down beside him. They passed their time talking and kissing until they knew that they had to make an appearance at the party or else Leia would quite literally hunt them down.

Kylo and Rey entered the party that Leia had organized with painted smiles on their faces, both wishing that they could be back in their quarters. They both greeted their guests with delight, exchanging a few words here and there. Rey found herself in an interesting conversation with BB-8 when Luke came behind her and placed a hand on her shoulder. Turning around, she was met with a pair of worried eyes. "Luke, what's wro-"

"Come with me," he said sharply as he turned on his heel and made his way through the crowds. He led them outside to the same garden that Kylo had brought her two not even a week before. She thought of that memory and smiled, but then began to furrow her eyebrows when the worry pooled into her stomach. She couldn't possibly imagine what Luke would want to speak to her about, especially in the middle of the party.

Luke finally stopped walking and turned around, gesturing to a bench nearby. The two sat and Luke stared at her for a moment before beginning to speak. "Rey, there's something that you need to know," he began, but paused. Rey could see the debate in his eyes, and she could tell he was deciding to tell her what he needed to tell her or not.

"Luke, please tell me," she said, begging him with her eyes.

"Rey, you're pregnant," he stated, swallowing and looking at the ground.

"I, I'm what?" she asked, eyes wide with worry.

"I sensed it when you were walking down the aisle. I could feel another warmth coming from within you, another heartbeat, almost silent but still there. Rey, have you been getting sick lately?" he asked her, concern etched on his face.

"No," she stated quickly, before rethinking. "Well, two days ago, I had to run to the bathroom when I woke up because I-" she paused. The feeling finally set in. She was pregnant. She had another human being inside of her. A human being that Kylo helped her create.

"You know you can't tell Kylo just yet, right? That is, if you still want to carry out the plan now that you are pregnant. There's no way he would take you to Snoke if he knew."

She nodded her head slowly, her mind wondering about what his reaction would entail. "What if he can sense it, like you could?" she asked him, worried.

"He won't be able to. At least not yet. He may tell you that he's powerful in the force, but not as powerful as I am," he winked at her, attempting to lighten the mood.

She stood up quickly and leaned over to give Luke a hug. "Thank you for telling me," she whispered. "And thank you for everything you've done."

Luke chuckled slightly and stood to fully develop her. "Go, be with Kylo. Who knows when the plan will have to be carried out."

Rey nodded and released her hold on him, slowly making her way back inside. She was overjoyed with her pregnancy. Over the moon, to be exact. She knew that the baby inside of her was tiny, but she already vowed that she would be the best mother. She would never abandon it.

Once inside, she quickly sought Kylo out and placed her arms around his waist. He turned to her and gave her a kiss. "I just spoke to my mother, and she said we could leave here whenever we feel ready. What do you say we head back and finish what we started earlier?" he asked her, placing light kisses down her neck.

"I would be delighted," she replied with a large smile as she wriggled out of his arms, taking his hand. They led their way out of the hall, saying goodbye to their friends that were still enjoying the festivities, and made their way to their quarters. Once there, Kylo made quick work of her dress and slowly slid her out of it. She peeled the outer layer of his robes off of his broad shoulders tossing them aside. He leaned forward to kiss her when he grimaced in pain.

"Kylo? What's going on?" She asked him, her smile fading away to worry.

"I-," he tried to push out but his words were placed with a loud moan of pain as he slid off of her and onto the floor, clutching his head. Rey immediately sprung into action, throwing on the first clothes that she could find and running towards the door.

"I'm going to get Luke and Leia, will you be okay?" she asked him hurriedly, rushing to him and soothing his hair back off of his forehead. He tried to speak, but only got out a curt nod before he grimaced again. "I'll be right back," she whispered as she sprinted out of their quarter and back to the hall.

Kylo was shaking on the floor as he struggled to fight off the pressure building in his mind, trying to break through. The last words he heard before he blacked out from the pain was, Bring her to me.
