EmberLex - Thank you so much, that was completely the comment I needed!
Guest - Thank you!
I am aware that this chapter completely jumps ahead a week but looking back at it right now they are still currently in June and in real time it is half way through September and I'm currently writing July, so there will be more time jumps, sorry.
By Friday Cassian had majorly given up on training because without Ben, Poe, and Finn it wasn't as fun so the team just got to sit around and play truth or dare for practice, Matt turned to Rey, "Truth or dare?"
"Dare."
"Demonstrate your best pick up line on Luka," Matt had his phone out to video for Snapchat.
"Okay," Rey jumped up and pulled Luka to his feet, "Just stand right here."
"I'm nervous," Luka laughed as Matt started recording on his Snapchat.
"Hey Luka, will you hold this?" Rey held her knee by Luka's hip, when he grabbed her leg she swung her other leg around his waist and ended up on his back.
"Oh, it's a pick up line," Adrien laughed as Matt ended the video and put it on his story and sent it to a group chat he had with Poe, Finn, and Ben, he had been sending stuff to it all week to keep them updated and sending them secret videos of Rey.
On the way back from the camp ground Ben drove his truck with Poe and Finn while Han drove his car with Anakin, Luke, and Kenobi. They were all tired, sweaty, and smelled kinda bad but in good spirits when they arrived back at the Solo's mid afternoon. Rey had gotten home from cheer, Leia had still been at work, and Padme was picked up shortly after by some of her friends and went out with them leaving Rey with Ahsoka which she didn't mind. Ahsoka was sleeping in her bouncer as Rey quietly made her way around the kitchen putting the dishes from the dishwasher into the cabinets and drawers.
She had taken to doing Han, Luke, and Ben's chores from the chart on the side of the refrigerator insisting that it was out of boredom and to keep herself busy. The house was near silent when the garage door opened, Rey didn't pause in her dishes assuming it was Leia home early and she would know to be quiet for the baby. What she didn't expect was for Luke to walk in and scream her name. It took all her composure to not drop the stack of plates she was holding and set it on the counter before groaning as Ahsoka started to cry across the room, "I'm happy you're back, but why couldn't you at least use your inside voice?"
"I've got her, it's good to meet you again," Anakin smiled as he walked into the living room to console his daughter before turning back to the men who stood in shock at the door, "Did I forget to mention Padme and I adopted a baby?"
"Don't let Han, Luke, or Ben hold her, Leia and Padme want to be here when they do," Rey instructed as Finn wrapped her up into a tight embrace. Poe stepped around them and hugged them both with his chest to Rey's back. When they released her she hugged her father. After hellos were said, the Kenobi men ran home to shower and change while Anakin, Han, Luke, and Ben did the same leaving Rey downstairs to care for Ahsoka. Ben was as quick as he could be working around the small mess Rey had made of his room and bathroom not wanting to disturb her things, he did however grab his phone from the night stand to post a Snapchat of the counter saying, 'I'm not sure what half of this stuff is but I'm assuming Rey does, the struggles of sharing your room with a girl!' Once he was confident he didn't stink any more than usual he went back downstairs. Rey was laying on the couch on her back with Ahsoka fast asleep on her chest laying on her stomach, Rey's eye's had been closed but as soon as he got close to her she opened them, "Hey."
"Hi, I missed you," Ben admitted sitting on the floor cross legged beside the couch before leaning over to kiss her forehead, "How was your week?"
"Great, I learned alot about taking care of Ahsoka, I nailed my round off, back hand spring, back tuck in cheer, your mom, grandmother, and I watched alot of movies, and in fencing Cassian just let us goof off so that was a lot of fun," Rey whispered excitedly, "Did you have fun on your trip?"
"So much fun, but we talked about you alot which made me miss you more," Ben spoke quietly as he slowly reached out to touch Ahsoka's hair.
"I missed you too," Rey smiled at Ben who didn't acknowledge her words as he stared at the baby. Leia returned from work to Rey and Ben where they were and Ben falling asleep with his head on Rey's shoulder and an arm over her abdomen as she was slowly playing with his hair, Rey looked up when Leia entered the house, "Don't worry, I wouldn't let him, Luke, or Han hold her, they and Anakin are asleep upstairs and Padme is still out."
"I'm going to go change and then I can take her," Leia answered quietly as Ben sat up, "Sweetie, how was your trip?"
"It was great," Ben yawned as he got up and hugged his mother, "But I'm glad to be home with you."
"And Rey?" Leia winked.
Ben let out a heavy sigh before walking towards the kitchen, "Good talk Mother."
"Ben, do you want to hold the baby?" Rey asked as she sat up and held Ahsoka to her chest.
"Can I?" Ben gasped as he ran over and sat next to Rey. Leia took out her phone and started recording as Rey showed Ben how to hold a baby. Ahsoka squirmed slightly in his arms before curling into Ben's chest, "How old is she?"
"A month old today," Rey answered she was sitting cross legged with her knee touching his thigh.
"Alright, both of you smile," Leia took a picture then went upstairs. Rey rested her head on Ben's shoulder and they were still like that when Leia came back and handed Ben his phone, "Ben your phone was going off like crazy upstairs, it's such a nice day, why don't you two go outside and I'll take Ahsoka?"
Ben was reluctant to give up the baby but he and Rey went outside and sat at the patio table, "Why are there so many messages on my phone?"
"Matt made a group chat and was sending you, Poe, and Finn stuff all week, it must be an hour long," Rey laughed. It was only 15 minutes and most of it was Matt and Rey dancing in the Solo's kitchen, "He hung out with me alot so I wouldn't be alone, Padme likes him."
"My grandmother likes everyone," Ben rolled his eyes, he shouldn't feel jealous but he did, he leaned over and laced his fingers with Rey's, "So I talked to your dad."
"Really? I thought you ignored him the entire week," Rey spoke sarcastically making Ben glare at her, she giggled, "I'm joking, continue."
"He knows about the hickey's," Rey's shoulders tensed, "But he doesn't care as long as they're covered and my parents don't care either."
"That's a relief, I've been covering them all week even when I sleep," Rey laughed, "Because of where it is while we were running in fencing the make up wore off and Cassian noticed and I told him I fell and hit my neck on a table and Felix asked how I managed that twice so the fencing team probably knows, I'm rambling when you're trying to tell me something, I'm sorry."
"Actually I want to ask you something," Ben traced the back of her hand that he was holding with his fingers lightly so he didn't have to look at her eyes, "Your father said no visible hickeys was one of the only real rule he had for if you agree to be my girlfriend."
He nervously looked up from their hands as Rey beamed and jumped up to wrap her arms around his neck, "Yes!"
"You have to let me ask you," Ben laughed pushing her back by her waist.
"Fine," Rey sighed as she kept her hands on his shoulders, then jumped in excitement.
"Rey Lynn Kenobi," Ben smiled not really feeling nervous any more, "Will you please be my girlfriend?"
"I'll think about it, I have alot of offers at the moment," Rey smirked turning away from him and walked out of his grasp towards the dock.
"Oh really?" Ben followed after grinning, "I'm sure I can convince you."
"And how exactly do you plan on doing that?" Rey put her hands on her hips challengingly.
"Be my girlfriend or I'll throw you into the lake," Ben gave her a devious smile.
"You wouldn't dare," Rey let out a yelp as Ben threw her over his shoulder and walked towards the end of the dock.
Luke had been watching them from the open patio door grabbed Ben's phone from the table and started recording, "Ben, what are you doing?"
"I'm throwing my girlfriend into the lake," Ben yelled back.
Ahsoka was awake and laying on her back on a blanket on the floor when Mr. Kenobi, Poe, and Finn returned. Poe was just in sweatpants and a t-shirt while Finn and Kenobi were wearing dress pants and button up shirts. Rey and Ben were sitting on the floor playing Mario Bro's, Rey paused the game, "Can Finn and Poe hold Ahsoka?"
"Sure," Leia answered from the kitchen table where she was on Ben's phone.
"Sit," Rey stood and pointed to the couch as Ben picked up Ahsoka and handed her to Rey.
"You have use your arm to support her head because she can't hold it up on her own yet," Ben explained as Rey gave her to Finn.
"Is she going to spit up on me?" Finn asked nervously in his plumb button up shirt.
"She might, Ben will you get her nappy from the kitchen?" Rey asked from where she sat on the couch.
Ben stared at her in confusion and Leia sighed and held up a pink and green striped cloth, "The shoulder towel for when we burp her."
"Oh okay," Ben got up and got the nappy for Rey folding it into fourths before handing it to her.
"You're so cute," Rey said making him blush.
"I just wanted it folded," Ben mumbled embarrassed as Finn and Poe laughed at him, he walked into the kitchen and sat with his mom and Mr. Kenobi.
"Don't come over here, I'm going to embarrass you too," Kenobi smirked.
"But you think about it and make it strategic," Ben added quietly, "She's just socially awkward and doesn't know certain things she shouldn't say."
"You two are perfect for each other," Kenobi leaned towards him and whispered.
Ben licked his lips and nodded, "I'm gonna go back over there."
"So if the adults, Finn, and Rey are going out, does that mean Ben and I have to baby sit?" Poe asked looking slightly scared at the baby in his arms
"We'll be fine because Mr. Kenobi, Rey and Finn will be gone from 4:30 to 7:30 and my parents, grandparents, and Luke will be gone from 6:30 to when ever so we'll only be alone with her for an hour then we'll have Rey back and she's the only reason Ahsoka's still alive, she stopped breathing earlier," Ben explained sitting on the arm rest closest to Rey.
"That's normal for babies Ben," Rey sighed turning to Finn and Poe, "Babies have valves in their throats that close to prevent them from getting air born diseases and sometimes they close for a long time and the baby has to wait for it to open, it closed and Ben was holding her and he started freaking out and asked if he should give her CPR."
"I'm actually really scared to hold her now," Poe admitted as Ahsoka started to squirm and whine.
"What did you do?" Finn started to panic.
"She probably just needs her diaper changed," Ben shrugged.
"You suggested it, you have to do it," Rey smiled as Ben groaned, "Do you know how many diapers I've changed this week?"
"Pack your bags, we're going on a guilt trip," Ben quipped as he took Ahsoka.
"I was going to help you but now I don't think I will," Rey became very interested in her nails.
"I'm sorry, please help me, I need you," Ben begged as Ahsoka started to get more agitated Leia and Kenobi smirked at each other.
"Just try on your own and I'll correct you when you make a mistake," Rey smirked.
"When?" Ben questioned as he sat on the ground and pulled the diaper bag towards him.
"That sounds like a challenge, we can figure this out," Poe's competitive nature spoke for him as he slid off the couch next to Ben as soon as he opened the diaper Poe gagged, "This is why you're the janitor."
Han came down stairs and leaned against the wall watching his son fasten the baby's diaper, "Ben, having raised you this is really satisfying."
"You couldn't have raised me to be nicer to my girlfriend?" Ben asked as Ahsoka tried to kick his arm.
"Girlfriend?" Finn questioned looking at Rey.
"Have I not introduced you to my boyfriend, Ben?" Han crossed the room and high fived her, "But you should be nicer."
"At least Ahsoka likes me," Ben held the baby to his shoulder and she spit up onto his black shirt, "Thanks, sweet pea."
Poe watched Ben lay on the floor next to Ahsoka making a stuffed animal sing above her as the baby giggled, "It's weird that you're dating my sister, do I have to give you the whole, 'break her heart I'll break your face'?"
"Well I don't really plan on breaking up with her," Ben shrugged.
"Does anyone?" Poe asked.
"That's a good point, all be it depressing," Ben stood up, cradling Ahsoka, and sat beside Poe on the loveseat, "I take it Jessica still isn't talking to you?"
"I told her I loved her and she laughed and left the room," Poe scooted closer to Ben and rested his head on his shoulder, "I texted her that I wasn't joking right after and she never responded, she also lost our Snapchat streak."
"Either she's not interested in you or she is and no matter what if she keeps going back and forth like she does you'll be better off without her," Ben leaned his cheek into Poe's hair, "You can always end up like my uncle, single and living with your sister."
"If you and Rey get married that could be fun," Poe sighed, before getting up and going to the kitchen, "Do you have any doritos?"
"I have no idea, but you can't just eat your feelings," Ben scolded softly.
"I can try," Poe said ripping the bag open and sitting back down with Ben on his phone, "Let's stalk my sister's Snapchat, girl group picture, her dancing with Finn, her dancing with dad, her dancing with Adrien, her dancing with Luka, fencing group picture, and multiple far away videos zooming on on Finn and Rose dancing."
Ben looked over his friend's shoulder as he tapped through the story, "Did you watch that really long chat from Matt?"
"Yeah, I had to stop twice for bathroom breaks," Poe laughed, "Most of that was probably just for you anyway, did you tell him you and Rey made it official?"
"No why?" Ben questioned.
"He really wants you guys together, like more than Reylo, if Rey didn't tell him he'll be pissed," Poe explained.
Rey knocked on the Solo's front door and Ben answered with a crying Ahsoka, "Still think she likes you?"
"Please help me," Ben looked on the verge of crying himself when Rey waved to her dad in the car and closed the front door.
"Ahsoka, have you been fussy for Ben?" Rey cooed as she took the baby who immediately calmed down.
Ben dropped to one knee, wrapped his arms around her middle, and buried his face in her stomach, "Thank you, you're the best girlfriend ever."
"She's just tired, will you make her a bottle?" Rey asked as she ran a hand through Ben's hair.
"Yes," Ben jumped up and kissed her on the cheek, "You look beautiful by the way."
"Thank you," she was wearing a black sweater that was actually his from a family photo when he was in elementary school that he never wore again and a cream colored skirt with red, purple, and blue flowers and black stems and her red converse, she was also wearing eyeliner and a dark purple lipstick. Rey sat by Poe who put an arm around her, "You look tired."
"I didn't sleep well on the trip," Poe admitted holding a dorito out to her which she ate.
"Something bothering you?" Rey asked.
"No, the ground was just isn't comfortable," Poe shrugged getting up, "I'm going to take a nap, wake me when the adults get back, and wash off the lipstick before you get it all over him, he's so pale it probably won't come off."
"I love you," Rey even though she glared at her brother.
"I know," Poe called over his shoulder as he went upstairs, then turned back.
"You love me too!" Rey huffed, Ben smiled as he handed her the bottle and nappy, "Thanks, how long was she fussing?"
"Only about five minutes, maybe she just got sick of me," Ben sat on the floor in front of Rey and started untying her shoes, "Did you like swing dancing?"
"I love it, Adrien was like an expert, he was my partner during the lesson and made it super easy to learn, he said congratulations by the way," Rey spoke softly as she watched Ahsoka.
"Congratulations for..." Ben trailed off.
"Being boyfriend and girlfriend," Rey finished glancing up at him.
"Oh right," Ben got up and dropped Rey's shoes by the door.
"Did you forget?" Rey asked with a smirk.
"No, I just didn't know you told him," Ben shrugged.
"I didn't, did you not see what your mom put on your Instagram?" Rey questioned.
"That's why she brought me my phone, I was wondering why she heard it because I constantly check to make sure the sound is off incase you message me," Ben took his phone out of his pocket and went to Instagram on top of his profile was the picture Leia had taken of Ben sleeping on Rey's shoulder with Ahsoka on her chest captioned, 'This is Ben's mom, I took this shortly before Ben asked Rey to be his girlfriend, an hour later his uncle had to stop him from throwing her into the lake but I'm glad I could capture this quiet moment.'
"Why do you keep the sound off because of me?" Rey asked as she handed the empty bottle back to him.
"Every time Luke hears my phone go off he asks if it's you and what you said and what I'm going to say back, it's sort of annoying when I want to talk to you and end up having a full conversation about our conversation," Ben explained as he went to the kitchen and rinsed out the bottle. Rey was too focused on burping Ahsoka to respond, "I can take her so you can change."
"You're so helpful," Rey handed the baby to him before heading upstairs.
Rey changed into a pair of spandex shorts and one of Ben's t-shirts, washed the makeup off her face, and reapplied the makeup on the bruising on her neck which hadn't started to fade. Even though they wouldn't get in trouble if someone saw she didn't want people to stare at the marks or tease them about it. Rey left Ben's bathroom to see Poe sitting up in his bed looking very confused at his open palm, "Poe, are you okay?"
"My teeth fell out," he stretched out his empty hand to her.
"No they didn't, you can feel them with your tongue," by this time Rey had gotten used to Poe's sleep hallucinations, normally he would see the room full of water but he had seen his teeth fall out a few times before. She watched him lick his teeth for a few seconds and lay back down before she left the room.
Downstairs Ben was laying on his stomach on the couch watching Ahsoka sleep in the baby bouncer as he was gently rocking her. Rey came down the stairs, "I know I was pushing an 8 and now I'm at a 4."
"How can the prettiest girl in the world stand in front of me and say she's not attractive," Ben watched her roll her eyes and walk into the kitchen, Rey opened the fridge and took a cold piece of pizza out of the box he and Poe had thrown in there.
She threw the crust into the trash and walked back into the living room, "Stop staring at my legs and scoot over."
"Sorry," Ben blushed as she laid down with her back to his chest, "You're really pretty."
"Because of my legs?" she smirked as he wrapped his arm around her stomach.
"Let's not talk about that," he whispered making her giggle, "I miss your freckles when you cover them with makeup."
"You like them?" Rey rolled to face him.
"Of course," he began kissing along the bridge of her nose.
Rey tilted her head up capturing his lips mid-kiss letting her tongue brush the corner of his mouth. Ben gasped as she trailed kisses along his jaw line and neck, Rey bit him and and he let out a groan that almost sounded like her name, "I thought you didn't like that."
"Didn't like what?" he asked quietly burying his face into her hair.
"Every time I um," she stopped and cringed, "Never mind."
"If you didn't want to tell me you wouldn't have brought it up," he had a point.
"I feel awkward saying it," Rey admitted.
"You don't have to but if you want to ask me something you can," Ben assured as he traced light circles on her back.
"Every time I moan your name you pull away," she blushed as Ben froze.
"I didn't really notice, I guess I do but not because I don't like it, sounds can," Ben thought for a second, "Encourage guys so I want to be careful, you can't really stop yourself from making those noises and I don't want to misinterpret them."
"So I turn you on," Rey raised an eyebrow.
"What, Rey no, why would you, would you say that?" Ben stuttered, Rey laughed as he turned bright red, "You're going to wake Ahsoka."
"You're right, Padme would want her in bed," Rey hopped up.
"I can do that," as he carried the baby towards the stairs Rey spoke.
"Look at that cute butt," Ben opened his mouth to respond then shook his head.
"Why don't you find a movie to watch so when I get back you don't jump me," Rey glared after him.
Rey was on her phone, when Ben sat down next to her she curled into his side and he rested his arm on the back of the couch behind her, "In the cheer group chat some girls were talking about how the 'best Disney princess movie' is on, can we watch it?"
"Well the best Disney princess movie is Tangled but I'm guessing they think differently," Ben shrugged as he changed the TV station.
"It's called Frozen," Ben let out a heavy sigh, "What?"
"Frozen isn't that good, the male characters are idiots and the females are only slightly heroic, the entire movie is based off of situational luck and the only reason it's popular is one overplayed song," Rey laughed at his response.
"Well let's see if it's as awful as you say it is," Rey smiled, "If I like it will you break up with me?"
"It would certainly be a red flag," Rey gasped and Ben hugged her, "That was a joke sweetheart, I'm sorry, please forgive me."
"I'm tempted to like this movie just to spite you," Rey crossed her arms as Ben kissed her cheek.
"If you like this movie I will entertain the idea of giving it a second chance," Ben agreed.
"I think I hate this movie," Ben threw his hands up in victory.
"Why do you think?" Ben asked, with out a word Rey reached over him and took the remote, paused and rewound the movie to where Anna was floating above a painting of a girl in a swing in the middle of the forest.
"Is this forshadowing?" Rey questioned.
"What would it be foreshadowing?" Ben had no idea what the painting ment. Rey huffed and got up to point at the TV, "Are you going to rant?"
"Yes," Ben took out his phone and started recording her.
"Okay Rey, let us hear your rant," Ben smirked.
"This painting is called The Swing and it's about this woman, cheating on her husband, there's her lover right here," Rey pointed to the bottom left corner of the screen, "Has a clear view up her skirt while it's unclear if this man in the bushes behind her is her husband or just a garden attendant, yes the garden is a euphemism, he's still witnessing this scandalous endeavor, my question is if this is foreshadowing that Anna is permiscuous?"
"You'll just have to see," Ben replied as he ended the video and put it on his Snapchat story, "Why do you know so much about this painting?"
"It's very popular, I'm surprised you never learned about it," Rey shrugged as she sat back down next to him, and he unpaused the movie, "The song is kinda nice though, it's not the popular one, right?"
"No I'll sing the popular one for you," Rey squinted at him, "It was popular for a reason, it's fun to sing."
"You recorded my rant, I get to record that," Rey poked his cheek.
"Fine," Ben turned his head and kissed her finger.
"For a second I thought you were going to bite me," Rey laughed.
"Do you want me to bite you? Never mind, of course you do, you're weird," Ben leaned over and kissed her forehead.
"I'm not weird, I just like you," Rey defended.
"Some people think that's weird," Ben shrugged, "I'm glad you do but normally pretty cheerleaders don't like Star Wars fanatics."
"You're glad I like you?" Rey repeated with a smirk.
"Yes, I'm glad you like me," Ben confirmed.
"I'm glad you like me too," Rey leaned her head onto his shoulder, "His name is Han? Is Kylo Ren after him?"
"That would make a great fanfic," Ben commented.
"What's a fanfic?" Rey questioned.
"Don't worry about it," Ben patted her head lightly.
Poe came downstairs some time later when Han was betraying Anna and laid down on the love seat, "I love this movie."
"Anna is unfaithful," Ben snorted at Rey's responce, Poe stared at the both of them, "I explained it in Ben's snap story."
"I mean I guess she is engaged and then falls in love with Kristoff, can you hand me the doritos?" Ben passed them to him, "We should go get snacks."
"And leave Rey with Ahsoka?" Ben questioned.
"If you bring me food I'm okay with that," Rey shrugged, "Finn should be here any minute now."
"Ben, just because you have a crush on Flinn Rider doesn't make Tangled a good movie," Poe scolded.
"It's called a roll model and he's a better one then Kristoff at that, the songs in Tangled are better and the characters are great," Ben argued.
"The songs are not better," Poe shot back. Rey found this to be a good time to turn the video of Ben singing Let it Go as loud as her phone would, "Since when can you hit that note?"
"I think she made me too scared to fail," Ben admitted and Rey laughed.
"Rey you have to stand next to him in choir so Ben can be a tenor with Finn and I," Poe laughed.
"You're doing choir?" Ben asked, "That's awesome, why didn't you tell me?"
"I've never sang in my life, Coach convinced me," Rey explained, "Jyn also convinced me to play the harp and percussion."
"You sing parts of songs in the car and in the video's Matt sent on Snapchat," Poe reminded.
"Wait a minute," Ben got up and ran upstairs, he came back a second later with his tablet, "Some of those video's are in the kitchen which means I have them on the security camera."
"Your mum deleted them," Rey admitted, "She and I were talking about something and she just deleted all the recordings so your dad wouldn't find them, nothing bad."
"Nothing bad?" Poe questioned.
"You'll see eventually, my lips are sealed," Ben leaned towards her as there was a knock at the door, Rey stuck her tongue out at him as he got up to let Finn in.
"Did you and Rose make out?" Poe yelled, Rey threw a pillow at him as Ahsoka cried over the baby monitor, she disappeared upstairs.
"Yes, but that's none of your business," Finn called back not bothering to be quiet since Ahsoka was already up, he then turned to Ben, "Can I borrow some of your clothes?"
"Yeah, Poe and I are going to get some snacks and leave you here with Rey," Ben added following him upstairs.
Rey sat in Leia's desk chair bouncing Ahsoka when Ben walked in, "Do you want us to wait till she goes back to sleep before we go?"
"No, it's fine, I'll probably take her back down stairs with me, I know your grandparents want to use more independent parenting methods but look at her teary eyes and tell me you wouldn't hold her forever if she wanted you to?" Rey pouted up at him.
"How do you expect me to say no when you're looking at me like that?" Ben sighed he bent down and kissed Ahsoka's forehead, "Bye sweet pea, be good for Rey."
"Say Bye Bye Ben," Ahsoka just stared up at her, "We'll work on that."
"Not everyone can learn anything in a week like you sweetheart," Ben kissed the top of her head, "I'll be back, any requests?"
"Something not spicy," Rey answered.
"Gummy candy, sour cream and cheddar chips, and fruit punch sports drink?" Ben suggested.
"You're perfect," Rey pulled him down to kiss her with one hand in his hair.
"Not perfect, just slightly obsessed with you," he whispered back giving her one last lingering kiss before leaving.
Finn sat holding Ahsoka as she drifted in an out of sleep, Rey had swaddled her tightly before handing her to him so he just cradled her as she sleepily stared up at him, "Am I going to be a good father?"
"Of course you will," Rey assured, "Parenting is different then babysitting but you'll have Poe, Ben, and I, why do you ask?"
"Doesn't holding a baby make you think about your own children," Finn asked.
"I never really considered having children," Rey shrugged, "In the orphanage all the girls were put on birth control as soon as they needed it, I never really thought about when I would stop taking it."
"You and Ben would have beautiful children," Finn smiled making Ahsoka smile.
"Shut up," Rey rolled her eyes as she got up from the loveseat and walked into the kitchen. Suddenly the doorbell rang Rey turned to Finn who's eyes were wide, it was late at night and someone who didn't know they had to knock because of the baby was at the door that ment is was a stranger.
Finn was stuck in the living room and Rey in the kitchen, "Is it a murderer?"
"Everything is fine," Rey whispered back, she slowly crept towards the doorway to the dining room and looked outside the window, there was a car in the driveway so she took a picture and sent it to Finn.
"That's Hux, why is he here?" Finn asked.
"I don't know, should we just wait for him to leave?" Rey suggested. Finn nodded and they just sat waiting, feeling brave Rey peaked around the staircase, she could see a figure through the curtain of the window but the room was dark and the porch light on so hopefully he couldn't see her. Her phone on the kitchen table made a ping noise and she turned and looked, it was a Snapchat from Hux, "It's from him."
"Don't open it," Finn whispered frantically, "Maybe he'll think you're not here?"
Rey peaked around again and he wasn't by the door, she then looked through the dining room, out the window she saw his car drive away, "He's gone."
"That's so weird," Rey shivered as she sat down next to Finn.
"We can't tell Poe and Ben, they would freak out if they knew he came here," Finn said as he handed Ahsoka to her.
"If he does again we should probably tell the police, that's border line stalking," Rey felt more calm holding Ahsoka who thankfully hadn't cried, hopefully Hux would just think no one was there.
"Depending on what he said it might be harassment too," Finn sighed, "Maybe you should just block him on Snapchat."
"I should but I also want to know what he said," Rey admitted.
"Fighting with him won't solve anything," Finn reminded.
"I know but doing nothing feels like giving up, I don't know why everyone doesn't like him but actually getting him to leave us alone would be alot more helpful then just ignoring him," Rey rested her head on Finn's shoulder.
"I'll support you no matter what peanut," Finn leaned his cheek into her hair.
"We should TP his lawn," Rey suggested.
"With Poe and Ben's help we could come up with something more original then that," Finn laughed, "But we should do something to mess with him."
The adults were at a sports bar sitting at a table in the back away from the annoying college students as they talked about work and their kids. Leia looked down at her phone, "That's odd, my tracker on Ben's phone says he left the house."
"Poe as well but Finn and Rey are still there," Mr. Kenobi got up, "I'll call Finn and check up on them."
Rey had taken Ahsoka back up stairs when Finn got a call from his dad, "Hey dad."
"Hi Finn, I just wanted to check in and see what you four are up to?"
"Ben and Poe went to the store to get snacks and Poe texted me a few minutes ago saying they were on their way back," Finn answered.
"Good, let me know if you need anything, and keep an eye on your sister and Ben."
"I will, I love you," Finn said even though he wasn't going to do that.
"Love you too, bye."
The garage door opening and closing hadn't disturbed Ahsoka so Rey went down stairs, Poe was all but jumping with excitement and handed her a bag, "Look what we found."
"Freeze dried crickets?" Rey read, "That's absolutely disgusting."
"We're going to play a game where we ask each other questions and you can either answer the question or eat a cricket, they're flavored so it won't be that bad," Ben assured.
"They're sea salt and vinegar flavored," Finn laughed, "If they weren't terrible before they certainly are now."
"You're going to eat that no problem," Poe scoffed as he sat down at the table, "Finn can eat bugs but he won't eat jello."
"I threw it up out of my nose, if you threw something up out of your nose you wouldn't eat it again either," Finn opened the bag of crickets and held it out to Rey, "Ladies first."
Rey turned to Ben who was on his phone, "Finn's talking to you."
"No he's not and I'm looking up a question," Ben responded, "Rey, what is your worst bad habit?"
"Biting my thumb during tests," Rey answered as she opened a pack of gummy worms.
"Okay, now I get to ask Ben a question," Poe took Ben's phone.
"You're going to find the most embarrassing one aren't you?" Ben sighed.
"No, I'll go easy on you for now, have you ever walked in on your parents?" Poe asked.
"That's going easy on me?" Ben questioned, "And yes, I've learned never to go near them after they argue."
"Goals," Rey laughed.
Finn punched her lightly on the shoulder, "Okay, Poe, if you had to make out with any Disney character who would it be?" Finn asked before passing Ben's phone to Rey.
"Ariel, preferably in mermaid form," Poe answered, "Now Rey has to ask both Finn and Ben and we switch the circle."
"Finn, what's the most amount of pancakes you've eaten in one sitting?" Rey asked.
"14," Finn smirked, "I'm quite proud of that."
"Now you have to ask Ben a really hard question or a question to make him really h-" Ben covered Poe's mouth with his hand.
"Hypothetically, if you were to date an older gentleman, how old is too old?" Rey smirked.
"What goes on in your head?" Ben asked making Rey giggle, "The actor that plays Kylo Ren is 34 so I'll say that because he is the only man I would ever consider, Poe what is the last thing you searched on the internet then deleted the history."
Poe thought for a second then gasped, "How many calories are in cum."
"What was the answer?" Rey questioned making Ben almost spit out his orange soda.
"5 to 7 in a teaspoon, so not terrible," Poe shrugged, "Finn, what was the last wet dream you had?"
"Pass the crickets," Finn took one and ate it with a straight face, "Alright Rey, now I guess I have to ask incredibly mean questions, what's your biggest turn on?"
Rey took one of the crickets and grimaced Ben took his phone and started recording her, Rey took a deep breath and up the cricket in her mouth, she but into it with a sickening crunch, "Yeah, that's not happening."
"Spitters are quitters," Poe called after her as she got up and let the bug fall out of her mouth into the trash.
"There's a difference between quitting and knowing how much you can handle," Rey spoke as she walked back to her seat.
"Very inspirational, sweetheart," Ben said, she stuck her tongue out as he ended the video and posted it on his story.
"Your snap story has been completely about Rey all day," Finn commented.
"You say that like it's a bad thing," Ben responded, "Since Rey doesn't want to answer that and we don't want to make her sick let's ask her a different question."
"Okay, why don't you come up with it because you'll go easy on her," Poe suggested Ben thought for a second.
"What is something only your dad knows about you?" Rey took a sip from her powerade to hide her smile, "Wait that was a good question."
"I was actually supposed to move here in December but the week I was supposed to leave I got bit by a raccoon and had to get rabies shots before I was allowed into the country but then we didn't want me to start schooling because I would be way far ahead so I just took some general college studies, I've legally been a Kenobi for almost 7 months and Dad actually visited me a few times, he was there for one of my vaccinations and then when I started to have seizures he visited too and I actually did lie to you Ben, they did draw my blood in the hospital but I was sedated," Rey had started to ramble nervously as she looked at her brothers and Ben who just stared at her in shock.
"We could have had you months ago?" Finn asked sadly as he got up and hugged her.
"Awwww, Finn don't be sad, you wouldn't have liked to see me in the hospital," Rey rubbed circles on her brothers back.
"How did you get bit by a raccoon?" Ben asked.
"Yeah Ben, that's the important part," Poe rolled his eyes as Ben shrugged.
"One of the boys found it outside and kept it in his room for 3 days and then when we were at dinner one night it got out and brushed my leg so I reached under the table and it bit me," Rey held out her arm, and pointed to her wrist near her pinkey, "There's only a few discolored dots where it's teeth punctured."
"You are a little accident prone," Poe laughed.
"Jyn thinks so to, for the past week she's been asking me at the beginning of practice how dysfunctional I'm going to be, because I'm not very good at holding my poses at full extension," Rey answered, the boys stared at her blankly, "When I stand on their hands I can't stay stiff so they call me dysfunctional, like erectile dysfunction."
"Like what?" Finn question.
"An erectile dysfunction is when a man can't-" Ben interrupted her.
"We all know what that means," he laughed.
"But what's with the whole, holding poses and full exstention, half the time I have no idea what you're saying," Poe admitted.
"Neither do I but then I go to the bathroom and Google it," Ben shrugged, "This week in cheer she nailed her round off back hand spring back tuck, which is a cartwheel landing with her feet together, a backwards hand stand landing with her feet together again, and then a back flip with her legs to her chest."
"You could have just asked me," Rey laughed.
"If I ask you then I can't save screenshots on my phone to look at if I forget," Ben pointed out.
"Now I feel really bad about smiling politely at Rose and having no idea what she's saying," Finn admitted, "Can you teach me everything?"
"Sure, but Rey is a flyer and Rose is a base so I'm not sure what any of the terms about how they hold her up are I only know the poses she does and the floor routines which the floor routines are really complicated," Ben explained. Rey put her hand on the side of Ben's face to get him to turn towards her and kissed him, "What was that for?"
Rey laughed and Poe took out his phone and started recording, "So Rey kissed Ben, which your sister kissing your best friend is weird in any context but we're going to ignore that because Ben asked why, what would you say if she kissed you and you knew the reason?"
"Thank you?" Ben answered and smiled when Rey and Finn burst into laughter Poe posted the video on his Snapstory.
Leia and Padme went to the bathroom and Leia checked her phone finding the video Poe posted and showed Padme, "I like them together."
"Me too," Leia smiled.
When the adults returned Finn was curled up in Luke's chair, Ben and Rey were side by side on the couch, and Poe was sprawled out on the love seat. The adults decided just to leave them and went upstairs, one door closed, a second, and when the third door closed all the kids shifted to look at each other. Finn shifted slightly, "I can't believe that worked."
"Never have I ever won a game of Scrabble," Poe whispered back.
"Wow, you waste no time," Rey commented, she felt Ben laugh through his chest where her head was laying, "What is Scrabble, I've never played."
"You'll like it, it's where you have random tiles if letters and spell words with them and make a cross word puzzle with the words," Ben explained.
"Ben always wins," Finn looked over in disgust.
"I'm well read," Rey felt Ben shrug, one of the doors upstairs opened and they quickly resumed their fake sleep. Leia came downstairs, threw a blanket over Finn, Rey and Ben, and Poe, turned off the TV and all the lights leaving only the moon light from the window behind the couch to illuminate the room and went back upstairs, "Never have I ever Googled my own name."
"I've googled all of our names," Finn admitted.
"I helped," Poe added.
"Never have I ever sung karaoke," Rey whispered.
"We all have, it was great," Poe laughed, "We should go do that sometime."
"That sounds like so much fun," Rey gasped and Ben shushed her.
"Never have I ever gotten sent to the principal's office," Finn whispered.
"Ben and I did for almost getting into a fight in middle school," Poe laughed.
"Are you specifically trying to embarrass me?" Ben questioned.
"I got in trouble for fighting when I was younger, I got taken out of school for it," Rey shrugged.
"Honestly sweetheart, I don't think I believe that," Ben laughed, "I can't imagine you ever fighting someone."
"I was 8, and from then on I had a tutor instead of going to school," Rey explained.
"You didn't go to school for 6 years?" Ben asked.
"Nope, I had a tutor from 7 to 1 then did my work on my own, but that's why I got to skip a few classes and get university credits in," Rey shrugged, "It wasn't terrible but I'm excited to be in school again."
"Don't get into any fights okay? If you need Poe and I to beat someone up for you we will, right?" Ben turned to Poe who was asleep, "He would agree if he was awake."
"Oh I'm sure, normally Finn falls asleep first," Rey sat up and looked as Finn who was also asleep, she took her phone from the end table, "It's like one in the morning."
"What time is it really?" Ben asked.
"12:58, why?" Rey laid back down between him and the couch back with her head on his shoulder.
"Just curious," Ben pulled the blanket up over her shoulder, "What's your favorite color?"
"Guess," Rey smiled up at him.
"Why do I get the feeling you don't have one?" Rey giggled making Ben sigh and kiss her forehead, "Okay, let's see if you can guess my favorite color."
"That one specific shade of grey," Rey answered.
"Okay that wasn't difficult," Ben laughed, "We could play 20 questions, one of us thinks of something and the other one has 20 yes or no questions to guess what it is."
"You think of something first," Rey tapped on his chest till he laced their fingers together, "Is it in this room?"
"I hope not."
"Is it small enough to fit in the house?"
"Oh I hope so."
"You're supposed to answer yes or no," Rey sighed.
"I don't know if what I'm thinking is in this room because theres a statistic that theres one within 5 feet of you at all times and it is small enough to fit in the house from what I've seen."
"Okay, is it alive?"
"I would feel better if it was dead."
"You're so annoying," Rey pressed her face to his chest.
"I'm trying to help you sweetheart, I'll only say yes or no from now on, I promise."
"Is it an animal?"
"No."
"Is it a plant?"
"No."
"Is it a person?"
"No."
"Is it a bug?"
He hesitated, "No?"
"Ben!"
"Shh, you'll wake Finn and Poe."
"If it's not a person, animal, or bug...is it a spider?"
"Yes, that was 8 questions, good job."
"I know what I want you to guess."
"Is it bigger than an oven?"
"No."
"Does it belong in an oven?"
"No."
"Is it useful?"
"Yes."
"Can you use it on toast to do something productive?"
"Yes, that was oddly specific."
"Can you use it to cook pork to a safe temperature?"
"Yes, are you asking oddly specific questions on purpose?"
"Honestly I feel like this is something that would be so easy for me to guess but I can't think of it because you're really pretty, I love holding you in my arms, and I'm so happy you're my girlfriend," Ben spoke softly as he kissed the back of her hand.
Rey felt her heart swell and had no idea how to respond, "It was a lightsaber."
"That's awesome."
