Here is the epilogue! This was so much fun to write. I hope you all enjoy!
Epilogue
Rey chuckled softly as she stood over the water basin in her small kitchen, washing off a few green, pear-shaped fruits. There was a window in the wooden wall in front of her, in which she used to gaze upon the hysterical scene. Her husband had fallen on his back, lightsaber knocked out of his hand. Her gold lightsaber, to be exact. He always let his son, Lukas, use this lightsaber when they sparred. He was intrigued by the cross-guard style.
Lukas Benjamin Solo was their first born. He was named after two of the most important men in Rey's life. Rey and Kylo stayed with Luke and Leia on the base during the pregnancy, to make sure that their baby boy was born strong and healthy. During the pregnancy, they traveled to Naboo numerous times to ensure a home for themselves. Leia had graciously helped them with the cost, claiming that it came from a fund that her and Han had made for Ben when he was a child. They purchased a small wooden house in the Lake Country of Naboo, overlooking a crystal clear lake and surrounded by beautiful trees that Rey had come to love.
Rey looked up from the fruits she was now beginning to cut when she heard a bellowing laugh from outside. A young 5 year-old girl with chestnut brown hair swept back into three buns sat on the grass laughing at her father as her older brother knocked him down. Madeline Leia Solo was their second born. They had her in the room adjacent to the kitchen, and all of Rey's friends and family had come to support her. She briefly recalled holding Leia's hand as the pain almost seemed unbearable. Finn and Rose were pregnant at the time, and Finn expressed his concerns for his wife to Rey after hearing her yells of pain from the next room over.
Finn and Rose had met during the war and within their missions and adventures, they fell in love. They had a a 4-year old girl and visited Rey's family once a year. Poe returned to his home on Yavin IV. He checked in with Rey quite often. Rey would like to think he was interested in her life, but she knew a slight part of him probably only contacted her so often to ensure that BB-8 was doing alright. The droid decided to stay with Rey, much to the pilot's dismay.
Luke, Leia, and Chewy had stayed together over the years. They continued to work to ensure peace within the galaxy. The three visit Rey's family as often as they can. Leia fell into her role as a grandmother with much excitement, nurturing her grandchildren with love and support. When they visited, Luke enjoyed teaching Lukas things that Rey and Kylo had not yet taught him. On their last visit, he taught him about force-control, which created havoc the next day in the small village nearby.
Rey shook her head, clearing the thoughts of her friends and family. She always missed them dearly when they were away, but she wouldn't give up her life here for the world. After finishing with the fruits, she stepped back and placed a hand on her stomach. It was growing faster and faster, and she knew that she soon would not be able to see her feet. She hated that, her favorite pastime being to watch her feet splash in the water of the nearby lake. She was pregnant with their third child, almost certain that it was another little boy.
She picked up the bowl of fruit and made her way outside of their house towards the rest of her family. She sat next to Madeline in the grass, offering her some fruit.
"Hey you two, come have a snack," she directed towards her husband and son. They had begun dueling again, Kylo slightly annoyed that his son had beaten him. It was becoming a reoccurring thing, and Rey smiled at the fact that her son was becoming so skilled. They had decided to train him slowly, not for battle but for the sake of the Jedi. The balance was important, and they strived to maintain it.
Kylo came over and sat next to Rey, placing his arm around her as he reached for some fruit. Lukas and Madeline ate quickly.
"Mom, can we go down to the lake for a while? I promise we won't go too far in this time," Lukas begged. Rey eyed him suspiciously, but relented.
"Yes, but be careful please," she warned. They could clearly see the lake from their seated position. Lukas grabbed Madeline's hand and they took off down the slight hill. Smiles adjourned both Rey and Kylo's faces as they watched their children. Rey put her head on Kylo's shoulder and sighed deeply.
"Just think," Kylo began, "pretty soon, we'll have another little monster running around with them," he joked. Rey nudged him slightly but let out a small laugh against her will. He leaned forward and pressed a kiss to her cheek.
"I love you so much," he stated, placing his hand on her stomach. "And I love you too," he directed towards her stomach. She laughed.
"What on earth are we going to name him?" she asked him.
"Him? How do you know it's a him?"
"I don't know, I can just feel it," she smiled, turning towards him and placing a kiss to his lips. "And I hope he gets your hair, just like Lukas," she said as she brought her hand to his hair, running her fingers through it. He closed his eyes and happily sighed. It was true, Lukas got Kylo's hair. He almost looked like a miniature Ben, and Rey reveled in that.
"We should name him after my father," Kylo suggested. "Or at least have it as a middle name. I don't think it'd be a good idea to have another Han Solo running around," he laughed.
"What about Lenny? It kind of sounds like Lando. Lenny Han Solo," Rey suggested, already falling in love with the name as it came off her lips. Lando also visited them every once in a while. He felt as if he had a lot of making up to do with Kylo. Whenever he came, he would take the children flying with him, and they loved it.
"That's perfect," Kylo smiled, leaning in to place another kiss to her lips.
"Ewww!" They heard, pulling back instantly and laughing. Lukas and Madeline had come back up the hill then, spotting their parents in a loving embrace.
"Oh what? You don't like it?" Kylo joked with them, pulling Rey into his arms and placing more kisses all over her face. This created a chorus of complaints from the children, causing the couple to laugh hysterically.
"Alright alright that's enough," Rey laughed, pushing Kylo off of her. "You two," she directed to her children, "It's getting dark, and you both need to get to bed."
Lukas and Madeline nodded disappointedly but made their way inside. Rey and Kylo shared a look and laughed to themselves before he helped her off the ground. As soon as they stood up, Kylo placed his arms around her and kissed her again. "I love you, my little star."
"I love you, Kylo," she smiled.
"Hey, can you guys tell us another story before bed?" Lukas peered his head out of the door, catching them in their moment. They turned towards him and saw his pleading eyes, immediately giving in.
"Who do you want it to be about this time?" Kylo asked him, taking Rey's hand and making his way toward the house.
"Can you tell us about Uncle Luke and Ben Kenobi? Uncle Luke mentioned that name the last time he was here, and I was curious," Lukas spoke.
"Of course," Kylo said, "that one's a good story."

And that's the end! I'm so glad Kylo and Rey got their happy ending:) This has been so much fun to write. If you all would leave me a review, I'd be delighted! Also, I've started another story entitled "The Pilot and the Scavenger", and I would greatly appreciate if you all would check it out, if you're into Poe x Rey. Anyways, thank you all for the support you've given me for this story. It's been fun!
