Twelve Pregnancy Scares

"Are you sure?"

"Not really, but I've been feeling nauseated lately. Oh, and tired. Very tired."

Rey isn't too sure what to tell Rose. It's not she's ever been in this type of situation or knew anyone who was. So she'd allowed Rose to share this possible news with her before even talking to Finn.

"Do you think he'll be angry?" Rose sheepishly asks.

"Of course not." Rey says, shaking her head. "He'd probably pass out from shock. But first, you need to know if you are."

"Right." Rose replies, her hands fidgeting in her lap.

Knowing that Rose suffers from anxiety about having to step foot into medical, Rey does the only thing she can think of.

"How about I go ask Dr. Kalonia for a test?" Rey offers.

"Oh, thank you. Thank you. Thank you." Rose squeals out, jumping out of her seat and wrapping Rey in a hug.

With her friend left safe and sound in her room, Rey heads toward the infirmary.

"What can I do for you, Rey?" Doctor Kalonia asks as Rey steps into her domain.

"I need a pregnancy test."

"A what?" The doctor staring at the young woman in disbelief.

"A pregnancy test."

Kalonia takes a deep breath and walks over to Rey. "Are you in trouble, Rey? Did your contraceptive shot expire, or not work? Did something happen during your last mission? Were you ill-treated by anyone? Or did some hotshot pilot tell you that using a cond-"

"No, no. Nothing like that. I just need the test. Please."

The doctor gives Rey a pointed look.

"Please." Rey implores, really not wanting to be here anymore than Rose does.

"You know it's against protocol for me to allow you to take the test outside of medical." Kalonia states while heading over to the cabinet that houses the tests. She reaches in and takes a shrink-wrapped item out before walking back over to Rey.

"Promise me that if it shows up positive that you'll come back so I can run some tests to make sure you and the baby are healthy."

"Will do." Rey says, a light blush growing on her face.

Not wasting a second, Rey hurries out of the office. However, as she comes around a corner rather quickly, she bumps into someone and drops the test.

"Where's the fire?" Poe chuckles out, his hands having grabbed Rey's arms to keep her from falling backwards.

"There's no fire."

Poe lets out a short laugh. "You're moving fast enough to make people wonder what happened, Rey."

As he lets go of Rey's arms, he notices a wrapper on the ground near their feet.

"What's this?" Poe says, kneeling down to pick up the item.

"It's nothing." Rey replies, quickly swiping the test out of his hand while praying to the Force that Poe doesn't know what it is. "Look, I've got to go."

With the test back in her hand, Rey darts off and leaves a confused looking Poe in her wake.

"Wait, are you-" But the young woman is gone.

He spared a thought to go after her, but his feet already started moving him to the hanger, his mind suddenly adrift in ideas of Rey with a baby.

"No. No way. Rey can't be pregnant."

"Rey's pregnant?" Jess asks, nudging Poe in the ribs to get his attention.

"What?" Poe stops walking and turns to look at the woman. "Um… I'm not sure."

"What do you mean you're not sure?" Snap asks, scowling at his commanding officer.

Utterly flustered, Poe explains. "I just bumped into her and she was holding a pregnancy test. She ran off before I could ask."

"Maybe it isn't for her?" Karé suggests to Poe, noticing at how pale the man is turning. "I mean, it might be for someone else, you know."

"True." Snap agrees.

"Yeah, but Doctor Kalonia wouldn't just let someone take a test with them. You know that, Karé." Jess supplies, remembering a time when Karé and Snap weren't sure if they were pregnant or not.

"But if the test is for Rey, then who is the father?" Snap asks, the gossip already brewing in his head.

"Well that would be simple enough to find out." Karé states with a grin. "All we have to do is wait for her to reveal just how far along she is and cross-reference that with where and who she was with."

Hearing his friends talk, Poe's stomach starts to roll. Thinking back, over the last three months, Poe knows exactly where Rey has been and who she was with.

"I think I'd better go." Poe says before running away from his friends.

"Where's he off to in such a hurry."

Snap turns around and sees Kaydel Connix walking towards them, data-pad in hand.

"I think our commander has something important to take care of." Jess chuckles out before wrapping an arm around Karé's shoulders. "Let's go work on our ships."

The two women head off, leaving Snap with Kaydel.

"Rey might be pregnant." Snap softly tells Kaydel, knowing that the woman loves gossip just as much as he does.

"Really?" Kaydel replies.

"Yeah. Poe ran into her and noticed that she had a pregnancy test with her. Now we just need to find out how far along she is. That was we will know who the father could be."

"Well that shouldn't be too hard." Kaydel says while bringing up the mission logs for the past four months up on her data-pad. "For all the missions she's been on, the person she's been with the most is…Commander Dameron."

"They work well together." A familiar voice interrupts.

Snap and Connix spin around and see Leia standing some feet away from them with an anxious Finn standing next to her. Next to the man is BB-8 and R2-D2.

"What's this about, Lieutenant?" Leia knows that her aide is one of the few people who she trusts on finding out what is happening among the members of the Resistance.

"Umm."

"It's about Rey, General." Snap says, deciding to save the aide from having to tell the news. "Poe ran into her and basically, Rey might be pregnant and Poe's the father."

"What?!" Finn shouts before running off to go find Poe, BB-8 hot on his heels.

As he runs through the corridors, Finn sees the little orange and white droid rolling next to him.

"Lead me to Poe, BB."

The little droid lets out a whistle before charging ahead, and as they come around a corner, Finn can see Poe talking to Rey.

"Is it true?" Finn gasps out as he comes to a stop near the pair.

"Is what true?" Rey asks, confused as to what Finn is talking about.

"Is it true that you're pregnant and Poe's the father."

"What!?" Rey states. "No. Poe's not the father."

"I'm not?" Poe buts in.

"Nor am I pregnant."

"Oh." Poe and Finn say.

Finn looks between Poe and Rey before looking back at Rey. "Then why does everyone think you are and that he's the father?"

Rey lets out a sigh before pinching the bridge of her nose between her thumb and finger. Before Rey is about to say a word, the door behind her opens up to reveal a very excited Rose.

"It's negative, Rey! I'm not pregnant!"
