Rey didn't know how long they laid there, but she was curled up tight against Ben's body.
Her head resting peacefully on his chest, listening to his weak slowing down heartbeat. Her fingers gently danced across the dark fabric of his shirt, the very same shirt she had spent so many restless nights clutching onto, desperately clinging onto any part of him. She would deeply inhale, smelling his scent, and try so hard to conjure up the image of his pale, yet handsome face staring back at her. No, she had used the force to return back to him, and give him just enough of his life force back so he was here with her. She knew time was short, and had given herself to him, feeling absolutely shocked to learn that he was a virgin just like her. When she told him to take his pants off, he hesitated at first, looking both aroused, as well as scared. They had fumbled with each other's clothes, pulling them off, before she laid back, her own pants off, naked from the waist down, and waiting for him to finish this. This terrible empty feeling of loneliness. Ben was her soulmate, her other half, and had proven himself to have shattered away Kylo Ren, and come back as himself.
She had watched him in her mind fight the knights, using the saber that she had mentaly given him. She had seen in just the blink of an eye as he drew out the saber, before giving this cocky little shrug, before fighting with the same grace and ease she had seen before. Her heart had hammered in her chest watching him take them down one by one. At one point he had then turned around, allowing the knight charging at him to fall onto his saber. She saw him take a breath out of relief before spinning around perfectly, boots skidding against the pebbles. She couldn't believe it. When he approached, she knew Kylo was gone...this handsome man with the thick black hair and sharp nose was Ben...Ben Solo. He joined her by her side, raising his saber, and Palpatine saw how powerful their shared force was, and even tried to drain them. In the end, Palpatine had been defeated after she used the strength of the past Jedi to defeat him. It had killed her, and Ben had given the ultimate sacrifice in placing his hand on her stomach, after gathering her lifeless body in his arms, scared out of his mind, before closing his eyes and deeply focusing on giving his own life force to her, healing her as she had done for him. She remembered in the darkness she had faintly heard him say...
"Hold on Rey..."
When she opened her eyes she saw him, and the second their eyes locked and she saw the mixture of relief and happiness inside them, she knew she was home. The sex itself had been intense as he thrusted into her as they laid on the cold ground. Both were inexperienced, and really didn't know what they were doing. For a few moments while it was happening, Rey thought of how she would have wanted them to make love on their wedding night, in a nice warm bed. She had images of him taking her from behind, holding her by the hips, and using hard force, just enough to bring pleasure without hurting her. Instead, she knew time was short, and had allowed him to take her laying here on the cold hard ground, the entire time she laid there, feeling his penis deep inside of her, causing entire body to stiffen as she moved slightly, laying there, his head nuzzled down against her shoulder, his hot breath going against her neck, as he grunted, and moaned softly as he moved inside of her. When it was over, he moaned out, sounding almost as if he was in pain, One hand tightly squeezing hers, the other squeezing her breast. She felt warmth inside of her, before he breathed deeply, stiffening, before he lifted his head, his face flushed. She stared up at him, before taking hold of his face with her hands, bringing him down and deeply kissing him. It was over...they were finally one. Now some short time later, their clothes back on, she laid cuddled up against him, her head resting on his chest, and one hand gently lifting his shirt, and rubbing his flat stomach with the palm of her hand. He had one arm around her, squeezing her tight, while he softly kissed the top of her head.
"I love you Rey..."
Rey lifted her head and stared at him, smiling softly she sighed.
"I love you too..."
"If things had been different...I would have taken you away from here and married you on my grandmother's home planet. That's where we would spend our honeymoon...and where we would conceive our children."
Rey smiled back, causing him to give that handsome grin back at her.
"Is that a fact?"
Ben lifted his head, and kissed her again, this time his tongue slipping into her mouth, slurping, and sucking against her lips. When the kiss broke, a tiny trail of spit lingered between them before both laughed. He squeezed her even tighter, rubbing her back with his arm still tightly around her. Ben smiled before he stared at her. "I'm sorry I had to give him to you this way." Rey raised an eyebrow confused.
"What?"
He eyed her stomach.
"I didn't even realize when I was putting my life force into you that I put our child into you...I wish we could have really made love like this. I wanted to make love to you since the moment I took my helmet off and looked at you with my own eyes. Please forgive me Rey..."
Rey stared at him confused.
"Ben...I came back, you showed me. I saved you...we can be together."
Ben sadly smiled at her, before reaching up and gently cupped the side of her face with his large hand. His eyes looked heartbroken.
"I'll always be with you Rey. I wish I could have given you this...I'll find you Rey...I'll find you."
Before Rey could say another word, Ben's large hand slipped over her stomach, gently pressing up against her firmly.
"Wake up Rey..."
Rey woke with a start.
She was laying in her makeshift bed, in her sleeping bag, weeping softly, and clutching Ben's black torn shirt. It was early morning, and BB8 happily wheeled around. Rey could feel the wet sticky tears on her face, and suddenly she knew as she looked around, seeing the early morning sunlight filter in, that it had all been a dream. Her breakdown, her dream of Ben showing her how to go back in time to reach him, Luke visiting, her returning to that fateful night, saving him so he wouldn't die in her arms, and finally them making love. It had all been a vivid terrible dream. Here she was, waking up after her first night here, holding onto her dead love's shirt, alone, with tears still rolling down her face. Ben was really gone, and she was still alone.
"I'll find you Rey..."
That's when it hit her. When Ben had saved her, placing his hand on her stomach to give her his life force...something else had happened. She slowly stared down at her perfectly flat stomach and her eyes widened as her hands slowly slid down to it, before she knew...
She was carrying Ben Solo's child.
