Notes1: in this chapter begins The Last Jedi. Whatever you recognize is not mine.
On his way back to his room, Ben allowed himself to release the breath he didn't know he had been holding. The meeting with Snoke had gone better than he had imagined – although he still wanted to meet Sara, it didn't have to be right away. The doors opened and Ben walked through the hangar bay towards the Upsilon. As soon as he'd entered his ship he heard the Knights laughing. He removed his mask and walked to his private quarters, he didn't have the energy to talk to them that night, he was tired and couldn't wait to tell Sara how the meeting had gone. But Jon, one of his fellow Knights of Ren, was by his door, waiting for him.
"It's her, right?" Jon asked in a low voice.
"What are you talking about?" asked Ben.
"The woman the troopers are saying is here, in your rooms, the one that stopped you from killing Han Solo. She's Sara, the bartender from Takodana, isn't she?"
"And if she is, do you have any objection?" Ben looked at Jon with suspicion.
"No! Quite the opposite really." he got closer to Ben. "Is she here to help us out of this mess?"
Ben seemed to relax.
"Yes." he replied. "Do the others feel the same?"
"Yes. We don't want to work for Snoke anymore. We're Dark Force users, not Sith. The things he has asked from us are wrong." then he smiled, softly. "We are all glad Sara is here, she was always nice to us in the Castle and she seems to be very smart..." he paused and stared at Ben before asking: "You married her, didn't you?"
"Yes. And I know about all the flirting you have thrown her way on Takodana."
"Nah. It was all in good fun. I remember her wearing a ring, a red one. You're a lucky man, Commander."
"I know." Ben smiled proudly and waited until Jon had left the corridor to walk into his room.
A week later
Living like Ben's prisoner was not bad; albeit a little solitary, Sara had to admit. They had a stablished routine: Ben left their room in the morning and occasionally dropped by during the day to check on her; a droid was in charge of delivering her meals, and, to pass the time, she had asked Ben for some reading material, which he provided – so she spent her days reading. At night, they trained, meditated and, sometimes, made love. She missed Hope though.
"I know she is in good hands; your parents are there with her, and 3PO is basically her personal nanny and favorite uncle." she chuckled at Ben's confused expression at that information. "Hard to imagine, I know, but she adores that weird annoying droid. Can you find a way for me to talk to her?"
"I'll think of something," he said.
And so he did. Two nights later he got her a communication device.
"It's a new one. Never used and unregistered."
Sara sat on the bed and quickly tapped all the Resistance codes necessary to connect with their base, then she waited in silence, the ringing tone making her nervous. Ben sat by her side. Then the click that indicated the connection was completed was heard.
"General?" Sara asked.
"Sara?" she heard Leia's incredulous voice before her image appeared. "My dear, we thought we had lost you!"
"No, I was taken prisoner, but I can't complain about my accommodations. Let me turn on the video in this thing." and after a few clicks and beeping sounds, Leia's image appeared in a hologram above the device, and their image appeared to her.
Leia covered her mouth with her hand once she saw her son, shirtless, beside Sara.
"What? You're his prisoner?"
"Yep." confirmed Sara, smiling.
"Hello, mother." Ben answered.
"I am so happy to see you, Ben! And with Sara! I haven't told Hope that you went missing, dear. I told her you're out working for us in a secret mission." Leia sighed in relief, then she looked at Ben. "You're so handsome, my son. I miss you terribly."
"I have a lot of forgivenesses to ask for, mother." he said, embarrassed.
"We'll talk about it someday." Leia said. "All you need to know for now is that I love you, always have and always will." she paused, looking at them, relief in her face. "But you two? Tell me, are you back together?"
"Yes, Leia." confirmed Sara.
"This is great news!" Leia smiled just looking at them; but her smile faded as if she had remembered something: "Ben, I believe you had orders to kill your father."
"Yes. But I couldn't do it. Sara helped me find an alternative, but I had to hurt him... How is he?"
"Recovering. He'll have a scar from his left upper thigh up to his ribs, but he'll survive to keep annoying us all." she looked at them, feeling so relieved to not only see Sara alive, but Ben by her side.
"General, there's a little Princess we'd like to see." Sara said.
"Oh, of course! So you already know about her, my son?" Leia asked.
"Yes." Ben replied, feeling a bit nervous.
"She's amazing, Ben. So smart and gifted. I'll go to her room, I sent her to get ready for bed half an hour ago."
Leia turned the image off for a while and they heard her walking through the base, then there was the sound of a door being opened and her voice speaking to someone: "There's a special call for you, sweetie." and the hologram was turned on again.
"Mommy!" the beautiful little girl appeared, wearing lilac pajamas and a tiara on her head. "Where are you? And who's that?" she pointed to Ben.
"This is your father, honey."
"You found him!" Hope shouted happily.
"Yes. And I'll take him to you as soon as possible." Sara said, trying not to cry as she looked at her daughter.
"Yay! Hi, daddy!"
"Hi, princess." he looked at her, seeing himself and Sara in her sweet face. "You look so much like..."
"You!" Hope exclaimed. "Mom always says that."
He stared at her, drinking from her image, as if his eyes could be tricking him and she might disappear at any minute.
"Daddy, will you teach me how to use a sword? Mom won't show me how to swordfight... and I need to learn for when I have my own lightsaber!"
Ben looked at Sara, who had tears in her eyes and a smile on her lips. She nodded to him.
"Yes, sweetie, of course I will teach you." he answered, looking more attentively at the girl's tiara. "Mother!" he called. "What is that on her head?"
"This is my bedtime tiara." Hope answered. "And I know it's not a toy. I only wear it to bed."
Ben looked at Sara, astonished at that information. That's one of Alderaan's Crown Jewels. It's worth more than a billion credits! he spoke into her mind.
I know. But to her it is her bedtime tiara. Sara replied silently.
"Daddy, I've missed you so much. I have so many things to tell you! I've learnt a lot from 3PO! Did you know that the sun in a ball made of fire? And that it disappears at night because the planet spins?"
"That's impressive, honey." he replied, still not believing how much like him she looked.
"Ok. It's past bedtime already." Sara said, noticing Ben was impressed by seeing their daughter. "We'll hang up now. Good night, baby. I love you."
"Love you too, mommy. And I miss you."
"We'll soon be together." Sara replied.
"Daddy's coming home with us?" Hope asked.
"Yes, I'll go home with you." Ben answered, hoping that he wasn't lying to her.
"Good night, son." Said Leia. "And thank you, Sara."
They hung up and Ben held the device between his hands.
"She's so beautiful." he said after a while.
"Yes. And smart. Some days I look at her and can't believe we made her."
He put the device into the bedside table drawer and lay down on the bed, pulling Sara to his chest.
"I still think this is a dream." he said softly.
"It may look like one now, but we have a nightmarish fight ahead of us."
"Yes. One we must win." he felt suddenly confident, "I have sword lessons to plan now." he smiled, thinking about Hope and all the other children that he wanted to have with Sara. After a while, he whispered: "I can't believe Hope sleeps with one of Alderaan's most precious jewels on her head and calls it her 'bedtime tiara'."
Sara chuckled. And they fell asleep with thoughts of their beautiful daughter and their future in their minds.
Three days later
It was the middle of the day when Ben walked into their room in a hurry, looking very preoccupied, mask in hand.
"They're preparing an attack on the Base in D'Qar." he announced.
"What?" asked Sara, closing the book she had been reading and jumping from the bed. "We have to warn them!" she opened the drawer to get the communication device.
"No need to. Hux has the dreadnought ready to fire. But I heard the Resistance has began an evacuation and many ships have already left the planet, including Raddus."
"The command ship – your mother's ship."
"Yes. So my parents and Hope are safe. For now. Poe Dameron is leading an attack on the Fulminatrix with a bomb squad as we speak."
"Good. That'll give them time to jump to lightspeed and be safe."
"Not really." Ben said, apprehensively.
"What do you mean?"
"The Supremacy can track them through lightspeed." he sat on the bed.
"Oh, no..."
"There's more." he continued. "The Resistance didn't have enough time to gather supplies before the evacuation, and they're running low on fuel already."
"And even if they jump into hyperspace, the Supremacy will track them..." said Sara, comprehending the severity of that situation. "What will we do now?"
"Snoke has ordered that we all regroup in the Supremacy to follow the Resistance and destroy them. We have already left the Finalizer and parked inside the Supremacy hangar bay." he paused, and Sara knew what was coming next: "Also, Snoke wants to meet you. As soon as possible."
"Then we'll have our chance to take him down."
"Yes. But remember: we must be subtle, any kind of direct attack, and his red guards will have us immobilized before we ever get ten feet near Snoke."
"Ok. So we have no plan. Let's go face him and see what happens."
"Exactly. Now," he stood up from the bed. "I need you to put your Resistance uniform back on, and I'll have to restrain you with these," he showed her a pair of strong, thick metal cuffs. "Then, I'll take you to my private quarters in the Supremacy, and I'll find out what is the Resistance situation." Sara finished getting dressed into her uniform and stopped in front of him, turning around so he could handcuff her. "One more thing: Jon knows about you, he recognized you from Takodana and concluded that we are married. So, if anything goes wrong, find him. The Knights will follow and protect you." she turned around to face him, and he kissed her lovingly. "Remember to play the prisoner part until we get to my rooms."
"Yes. I know."
Ben put his mask back on, and forcefully dragged Sara out of the Upsilon, into the Supremacy hangar bay. The nine Knights of Ren following him.
Sara walked with her head down, hands cuffed behind her back. She took a quick look around, seeing white and black Stormtroopers walking everywhere; there was even a silver one – who seemed to be in charge of the others.
Something is not right. Ben said into Sara's head. There's never this much activity here, unless...
Unless... what?
They'll attack the Resistance fleet.
Oh, no.
Ben hurried to his private quarters in the Supremacy, leaving Sara locked up there and went straight to the Command Room to learn about the attack.
"Their hangar has been destroyed." he heard one admiral reporting to Hux as soon as he had walked into the room.
"Now, destroy their bridge!" the red-haired said. "Kill their precious Princess, and all of their leaders!"
Ben reached out through the Force and felt his mother's presence on the Raddus' bridge. But there was a familiar Force near her. Hope, – he suddenly realized and panic started to rise inside of him. I'll never get to hug my daughter if they destroy that ship. But before he could have tried anything to stop the attack, his thoughts were interrupted by the light of the explosion of the Raddus' bridge – people and debris were scattered through the vacuum. He thanked all gods for having the mask on, so no one could see the devastated look on his face. He closed his eyes, feeling the tears fall down.
Oh, dear baby Hope, this is all my fault. I'll never get to teach you how to swordfight...
"What is that?" suddenly Hux's astonished voice broke into Ben's sorrowful mind. So he opened his eyes and approached the window to see what had the red-haired man so shocked, then he saw: two people seemed to be flying in the vacuum – a woman and a child were moving back towards the Raddus' destroyed bridge.
"That's Leia Organa and... a child." said one of the admirals, as shocked as every one else in the room.
"Leia is the daughter of Darth Vader, therefore it's not hard to believe she is capable of such use of the Force but that kid... How can a child do that?" asked Hux.
Ben smiled under the mask and thought proudly: That's my daughter.
No one said another word, everybody just watched the girl and the woman disappear into the partially destroyed ship.
"Should we continue the attack?" a woman asked.
"Yes." said Hux. "Their medical fleet now. They may have survived that attack but let's see how well they'll recover without medical attention."
Sara wanted to call Leia that same night but it would be impossible for the General to answer a call if she were in a bacta tank. Also she could sense her daughter's inner Force still pulsing strongly and that eased her worries.
Snoke seemed to have forgotten about Sara, at least momentarily. Maybe the great victory over the Resistance had satisfied him enough to decide he didn't have to meet her soon.
Sara called Poe Dameron the following night, after Ben had told her that two Resistance members and a BB unit had been captured by Phasma while trying to disable the ship's tracking system.
"Poe. This is Sara."
"What? How are you still alive?" he replied, astonished.
"I am Kylo's prisoner. Look, I don't have much time. How's my daughter and General Organa?"
"They are in bacta tanks, but both will be fine. Your girl will probably be out of the tank tonight."
"Call me when that happens. Please."
"Yes. Of course."
"Who's in charge now?"
"Holdo."
"Good, she's a great leader."
"Yes." he said, disapproval heavy in his voice. "But the First Order is tracking us through lightspeed. And we only have enough fuel for one more jump. We have people inside the Supremacy trying to disable that system."
"I know, that's why I'm calling you: they have been captured."
"What? Oh, no."
"What's Holdo's plan?"
"She was preparing the scape pods to send us all to Crait."
"Crait. There's an old Rebel base there. It could work. You can refuel and send a distress signal to our allies."
"A base? I didn't know that." he sounded uneasy.
"What have you done, Poe?"
"Nothing much, just a mutiny... Holdo and her command staff are locked up since this afternoon." he realized he had made an unnecessary mess.
Suddenly Sara heard a loud blast from Poe's side of the call and Leia's voice:
"You better leave this room and release Holdo and her staff right now." she pointed to the holocomm on his hand. "Is that Sara?"
"Yes." Poe answered, giving the device to her.
"Hi, dear." Leia picked up the intercom pad. "How are things on your side?"
"Getting ready for the big fight."
"You'll kill Snoke." Leia said, understanding.
"Well, we'll try."
"Good luck. May the Force be with you." and she hung up.
Sara sat on the bed, the holocomm still in her left hand. Leia and Hope were safe, for the moment, and that made their situation better than her own. Every day could be the day Ben would walk into the room and take her to meet Snoke, and then they'd have to fight for their lives. Literally. The sound of the door of the bathroom being opened brought her back to reality and Sara watched as Ben walked out, only a towel covering his naked, wet, body. His shoulder-length hair still damp. He noticed her staring at him.
"See something you like?" he asked jokingly.
"Yes. A lot of things." she smiled and got up to put the holocomm in its usual drawer. Then she walked towards him, dressed in one of his black t-shirts, and Ben embraced her by the waist, bringing her closer to him. Her arms crossed behind his neck and they stared into each other's eyes. They both knew that could be their last night together and alive. After a while, he touched his mouth to hers, his tongue sweeping over her lips, teeth nibbling on her bottom one. Sara sighed and opened her mouth, her tongue meeting his in a slow, deep kiss. His hands went down to grab her butt, while she touched his naked chest and moved her hips against the hard member she could feel poking her belly. They broke the kiss so he could take the t-shirt off of her body, leaving her dressed only in black boxer briefs. He took a step back to stare at her body, the curvaceous body he loved to pleasure, then he looked at her face, flushed with desire, her long curly hair cascading down her shoulders, over her naked breasts.
"See something you like?" she returned his question, with a smile.
He put his hands on both sides of her hips and pulled her to him, feeling her soft breasts against his hard chest; he took her lips again, passionately, Sara's hands ran through his hair, down his chest, and to1 the towel, tugging on it, letting it fall to the floor, leaving him fully naked. Ben made her walk backwards until her legs hit the bed and she fell on the soft mattress, his strong hands quickly removing the boxer briefs from her body. He spread her legs apart and kissed her inner thighs as his fingers played on her slick entrance. Sara gasped when one long finger penetrated her. He caressed her slick channel, touching her g-spot, making her moan.
He put two fingers into her, opening her for his assault, then he lowered his mouth to her center, licking her clit, his other hand on her stomach, limiting her moves. Sara opened her legs wider, moaning.
"Stop it, Ben. Fuck me!" she gasped. "I need to feel you... deep inside of me."
He ignored her pleas and removed his fingers from her channel, only to replace them with his tongue. Her fingers threaded into his hair as she arched into him, moving her hips, fucking herself in his mouth. Then he felt her tightening around his tongue and stopped.
"No!" she shouted, desperately.
Ben smirked and put himself between her legs, laying on top of her, the head of his dick teasing her dripping wet entrance. Sara moved beneath him, trying to impale herself on his member, but he held her hands over her head, pinning her down on the bed with his strong body.
"I love to see you like this. Begging me to fuck you." he said, hoarsely, moving his hips, penetrating her shallowly. Sara wrapped her legs around his waist trying to force him deeper into her.
"Give it to me!" she pleaded. "Fuck me!"
He took his dick out of her, but before she could utter another protest he penetrated her fully, making her shout in pleasure.
"Is this what you want?" he asked, thrusting into her furiously.
Sara was still immobilized by his strong hands and body, the intense pleasure taking over her, all she could do was moan and shout: "Yes! Harder! Fuck me!"
He licked and bit her nipples, keeping her hands over her head. He fucked her as he wanted: deep and hard, alternating with shallow and slow. It didn't take long for him to feel her clenching around his member, getting wetter as her climax approached. He intensified his thrusts and took her mouth, kissing her as strongly as his hips pistoned in and out of her. Sara came hard, biting his lips to make him take his mouth away from hers so she could moan loudly. He thrust as deep as he could and stopped, moving his hips in a circle, making her feel all of his member inside of her. She gasped and he went back to play with her breasts again, kissing and biting her nipples, feeling her getting ready for the next orgasm. He trailed kisses up to her lips and kissed her passionately.
"Get on all fours." he ordered after the kiss, taking his member out of her.
Sara obeyed and he covered her body from behind, penetrating her slowly, his hands on her breasts, pinching her nipples as he slowly moved in and out of her body.
"Harder, Ben. Make me feel you for days!" she pleaded.
And he complied; holding her hips firmly, he fucked her deep and hard, feeling her whole body tremble in pleasure as her orgasm took her over, her juices spilling out of her clenching channel, leaving both their thighs wet; he kept on fucking her as she rode her climax, never letting it stop. Sara's orgasm lasted minutes, her pussy was swollen, hot and incredibly slick. Ben couldn't hold his own climax any longer so he came deep inside of her, feeling every jet of come that left his dick.
Sara dropped onto the mattress and Ben fell on top of her. She loved the feeling of his heavy body pinning her to the bed. But before they could fall asleep in such an uncomfortable position, he lay down by her side and pulled Sara to his chest.
"I love you." she whispered.
"And I love you."
"I'm afraid, Ben." she admitted.
"So am I."
"If this is our last night together... "
"It isn't." he interrupted. "It didn't take me three years to have you back only to lose you in a matter of weeks." Sara smiled. He continued: "I have plans for our family. Plans to enlarge it."
She raised her head from his chest to look at him.
"What?"
"Hope needs siblings. Being an only child sucks. Trust me."
Sara laughed. He always became funnier after sex, but that night he was really inspired.
"Ok." she said, laying her head on his chest again. "If we survive the war, we'll give Hope siblings."
"At least two."
Sara hesitated for moment, but replied: "Why not. Ok, at least two."
And he pulled her closer, both falling asleep within minutes.
Notes 2: Finally! I still do not like it 100% but I didn't want to keep you waiting any longer.
The smut I added by request. Hope you all like it. Thanks for reading!
