Alone

By: Sailormoon7771

Ben was setting a course for their destination Rey sat beside him in the co-pilot's chair, "so where are we going?" she asked as she leaned in for a kiss, "I can't enter the coordinates if you're doing that." She laughed as she playfully bit his lower lip.

He laughed, "You had to do that?" Rey smiled, "want me to enter the coordinates." He tapped her nose with his gloved finger, "nice try, but it's a surprise." He finished entering them, and put the ship on auto pilot, Rey reached over and grabbed his hand, he lifted his hand up and kissed Rey's "General Hux is still alive." Rey said under her breath.

Ben looked at her with worry, he cracked a smile, "wow that's a mood killer." Rey laughed, "really?" he shook his head, "not really I just like it better when you smile." She shook her head "Ben, will we be safe with him still out there, I mean how did he survive?" she questioned, Ben shrugged, "You probably killed a fake General, he was testing me to see if I would take a bullet for you. So they could get their weapon to work." Rey cleared her throat, "but what are we going to do I mean he knows I stabbed him fake or not and—Rey stopped as Ben put his finger over her mouth "nothing's going to happen to you." Rey grabbed his hand and rested her cheek on it. "How do you know?" he leaned in for a kiss, "I won't let it." He whispered.

She smiled, "I won't let anything happen to you either I couldn't take being alone again." Rey looked out the front window of the ship as they flew over Naboo, Rey's mouth dropped, and she stood up, "Woah!" Ben turned as he watched her eyes light up, "Pretty?" Rey shook her head, "It's not the right word, it's breathtaking."

Poe was tightening up some bolts on his plane, when Finn walked up to him, "Mad?" Poe turned around, "about?" he questioned Finn let a crooked smile appear across his face, "I don't know with how things went down with Rey and Ben, getting married on the spur of the moment like that?" Poe shook his head, "That's not what I'm thinking about, in fact I knew they would do something like that."

Finn shrugged, "How?" Poe smiled, "the force." Finn picked up another wrench, and began to tighten some of the screws and bolts on the wheels of the plane.

"I had no idea you were force sensitive Poe." He shrugged, "I'm no Jedi, but yeah a little bit." Luke walked out as he overheard the conversation, "What's going on boys?" he questioned.

Poe looked up, "How do you do it?" Luke adjusted his robe, "do what use the force?" Poe shook his head, "the vow of celibacy." Luke shrugged, "I don't think anyone practices that anymore." Poe looked confused, and didn't say anything Finn broke the silence, "So have you?" Luke raised his eyebrow "That's between me and her." Poe dropped a wrench in shock and picked it up quickly hoping no one noticed, "alright, have you ever been in love Master Luke?" he asked Luke smiled, "briefly." Finn stood up from the wheel he was fixing, "really, what happened did you get married?" Luke nodded, "We did." Poe and Finn looked at each other in curiosity. "What happened to her?" Poe asked, "She died." Luke responded as he turned around to look at the sky covering his tears. "Any children?" Finn asked, Luke composed himself, and faced them again, "No, she didn't live long enough she died the day after we got married." Finn bowed his head, "I'm sorry."

The falcon had landed in a grassy field outside of a mansion, the ramp lowered Ben and Rey stood at the top looking down, "Ready to go Mrs. Solo?" she smiled, "I think you're forgetting something." Ben shrugged, "What's that?" Rey laughed, "now you have a reason to bridal carry me." Rey jumped towards Ben he quickly caught her. "You could have warned me." Rey put her arms around his neck, and kissed him. "I thought I did." She said as she rested her nose on his. "I love you Ben." He smiled from ear to ear, "I love you too."

Ben walked down the ramp and through the door of the house, "Wow!" Rey said softly as Ben put her down, "Who does this house belong to?" he smiled, "It belonged to my Grandmother Padme." Rey smiled, "It's beautiful." Ben raised his eyebrows, "I want to show you something." Rey walked up to him, "What's that?" he grabbed her hand and ran outside through the lush green fields. "Ben, where are we going." Rey laughed as she held on to his hand tightly, he turned to her, "wouldn't you like to know." Rey's foot got caught in a hole as they ran she fell causing Ben to fall she landed on his chest laughing, "Slow down." Her hair hung over his face as he ran his fingers through it, "Are you ok?" she smiled, "I'm more than ok."

Poe and Finn walked into the command room where people and droids were working hard at re-building what was damaged during the last battle, Leia smiled as they walked up to her, "General Leia" Poe saluted, "We finished the work on the planes, any other orders?" he asked Leia nodded, "I've been thinking about what you said last night Poe." He looked confused, "let me finish, Rey and Ben should have their own personal area that's here, but not here at the same time." Finn shrugged, "is there any place like that around here?" Leia nodded, "Yes, but It's been very damaged." Poe took off his jacket and hung it on a hook, "So, you want us to fix it up for them." Luke walked in, "fix what up?" Leia raised her eyebrows, "follow me."

They followed Leia to behind the compound stood a good sized building, the roof sank in and the windows had been broken. Leia opened the door, cobwebs and dust filled the air Luke coughed, "what is this?" Leia smiled, "It was originally for Ben if he decided to take a wife, but it's been hit a couple times by aerial attacks and what not, and well I didn't have a just cause to fix it up, until now." Finn, looked around assessing the damage around him, "We're going to need some help." Leia nodded, "Of course I wouldn't expect you to do this just the two of you." Luke took off his robe, "I'll help."

Poe, turned to him, "don't take this the wrong way, but aren't you a little too old?" Luke laughed, "I'll show you old." Leia laughed, "Never challenge his age, I think sometimes he still thinks he's that 17-year-old kid from Tatooine." Luke shook his head, "I do not." Leia turned around, "I'll get you more help." Leia walked out leaving the door open so it could air out. Luke moved a metal beam out of the way, Finn hesitated, "So, was it hard finding the right lady?" Luke looked up prompting Finn to help lift another beam, "Oh, I see you too are looking for wives?" Poe picked up another beam by himself and threw it outside, "I don't know about wives, but It'd be nice to have a lady friend, you know?" Luke nodded, "Lonely?" Poe laughed, "Pretty stupid huh?" Luke shook his head, "everyone needs someone."

Ben stood at the bank of a spring, the small waterfall ran down into it filling it with water, Rey looked nervous, Ben noticed her doubt, "Hey, don't be nervous." He smiled, "I'm not nervous about being with you Ben." He raised his eyebrows, "It's just I lived on Jakku, and well there isn't much water there." he laughed, "You can't swim?" Rey nodded, "Is it deep." Ben laughed, "I won't let you drown." He said taking his black shirt off, and jumped in the water with a scream, some water splashed Rey in the face she laughed "Woah!" Ben exclaimed, "that's cold. Jump in I'll catch you." He held his arms out. Rey took her shoes off and Jumped off the banks into his arms. "It's so cold!" she shouted, Ben laughed "Can't say I didn't warn you." Rey's foot slipped on a rock and she fell down under the water she stood up quickly, gasping for air. Ben grabbed her "You're ok." He pushed her wet hair back and kissed her. "ever go under a waterfall?" he asked as he moved towards the falls pulling her towards it she screamed as the cold water hit the top of her head. Ben laughed harder than she'd ever saw him she put her hand on his cheek, "Your smile is so beautiful."

Later that evening, Ben and Rey sat by the fireplace in the house, just admiring each other as they glowed in the fire light "Strawberry?" Rey smiled, as she tried to take it from his hand he jerked away, "No I want to do it." She picked up another strawberry, "Then let me?" they crossed their arms, in the opposite directions, feeding each other a berry. Ben leaned in and kissed Rey as the fire place crackled and the moonlight shone through the window.

Poe stood on a ladder trying to get the last of the beams back up, "Alright I think that's all of them." Luke looked around, "It doesn't even look like the same building." Leia smiled, "Now all that's left is to decorate." Finn shrugged, "I'm assuming that's your job?" he questioned Leia nodded, "It is, and its late time for bed!" The ground shook Luke's eyes widened, "The order." Luke powered up his lightsaber, the others got their blasters, and went outside when Stormtroopers began firing from all sides. Leia ran to Poe, "We need to get to command, so I can issue a lockdown." Poe nodded, "I'll get you there." Luke and Finn fought the enemies, "I need to get Leia to command." Luke turned around, "we have it under control." Poe and Leia shot Stormtroopers, Poe kept her behind him as he felt a stabbing pain in his leg, he screamed out, "Are you alright?" Leia started shooting Poe stood up, blood poured from his leg, "Come on General." He pulled Leia closer, when she screamed out. Her shoulder was hit, she put her hand over it, Poe grabbed her and ran as pain shot up his leg, and they finally reached command.

Ben and Rey slept in each other's arms on the floor the warmth of the fireplace, and each other kept them warm. Ben sat up abruptly with labored breaths. Rey sat up putting her hand on his bare arm, "Ben?" he stood up, "We need to go back." He said sternly, "Why?" Rey stood up with the blanket wrapped around her, "something's wrong." Rey closed her eyes, trying to focus on the base she quickly opened them as the images of the battle filled her head, "You're right, let's go." Rey started to walk away, "no wait." She turned, "let go." He shook his head "we need to get dressed first." Rey's face turned red, "right." She said laughing

"Medic!" Poe screamed out, "General" the droid called out, "You're hurt too." Poe shook his head. "I can't right now I need to go help." Poe grabbed a bandage and wrapped it around his wound, and ran out. "That'll help for now." Poe ran out Luke and Finn and the other resistance members that could fight were engaged in battle. "Is everything alright?" Luke asked, "Leia's been wounded." Poe informed him, Poe felt the blood soaking through the bandage, he held his hand out to Luke, "Can I borrow that?" he asked referring to the lightsaber, Luke looked at him strange, "I'm kind of using it right now." Poe handed him the blaster "just for a minute" Luke and Poe traded weapons, Poe tore half of his pant leg off exposing the shot, "You've been hit!" Finn called out, "I'm alright." Poe activated the lightsaber, and braced himself as he laid the blade on his wound curarizing it, he screamed, Luke looked down as he shot enemies, "What are you doing?" Poe handed Luke the lightsaber, and took his blaster back.

The battle ended with many casualties on both sides, Luke watched the sunrise after seeing Leia, the falcon landed in front of him the ramp lowered. Rey and Ben ran off with their lightsabers drawn, "We're here!" Ben shouted, "Ready to fight." Luke walked over to his Nephew, putting his hand on his shoulder. "Son, your mother's been injured." Ben handed Rey his lightsaber she powered it down and hooked it to his belt, "wait is she ok?" Luke nodded, "She got shot in the shoulder."

Ben, ran to command,
"Master Ben." C3PO exclaimed, Ben shook his head, "where's my mother?" C3P0 motioned for Ben to follow him to the compound, "She's resting in her room."

Rey looked around for her brother, "Where's Poe?" she questioned, Luke looked around, "I saw him around somewhere." Rey sighed, "What's wrong?" Luke questioned, "We should've never gone." Luke smiled, "Bad time?" she shook her head, "Not in the slightest, but we should never had left with all the attacks that have been happening." Luke shrugged, "the attacks never stop, you deserved a break, and Leia would have gotten hurt regardless of you being here or not." Rey nodded, Poe walked up to them with a crutch under his arm, "Rey!" he shouted to her.

Rey smiled, "You're alright!" He smiled, "just a little bruised is all!"

Ben walked into his mother's room, "Mom." He said softly, she smiled as her son sat in the chair by her bed, "Good Morning." She said in a tired tone, "You going to be alright." Leia nodded, "I'm fine, just a shot in the shoulder. It's not going to get me down, Ben." He smiled and threw his arms around his mother Rey walked in standing in the doorway, "I'm so sorry" he said as he kissed Leia on the forehead Leia pushed him away gently, "what do you mean, there was a reason you weren't here Ben, what if you would've been killed, I wouldn't be able to live with myself Son, Bad things happen."

Rey walked in, "She's right Ben, are you alright Mom." Leia smiled, "Yes, why aren't you on your honeymoon?" she questioned, "We both sensed trouble." Ben responded, Rey sat down on the foot of Leia's bed. "Go back to Naboo." Leia ordered, Ben shook his head, "We can't now."

Leia sat up, "You will listen to me and go back to Naboo." Rey raised her eyebrows, "He's right we can't just leave now. We can finish our honeymoon here." Leia shook her head, "I'm working on a surprise for you two and I can't have you snooping around here." Ben smiled, "as you wish Mom." Ben stood up, "come on Rey."

A week flew by, and Leia and Poe's recovered very well, Leia hung a picture on the wall in the house, that read, "Ben and Rey." On it, "Everything looks perfect!" Leia smiled Luke walked in, "I saw the falcon headed this way." Finn put a black and white blanket over the back of the couch, "alright, go!" Leia said the resistance base gathered around with bags of confetti. The falcon landed, and the ramp lowered, Ben and Rey stood at the top they walked down and the air filled with the colorful confetti Ben and Rey kissed as it fell in their hair.

They walked up to Leia, "Welcome home." Leia hugged them, "Your father would be so proud of you Ben for turning around." He smiled, "I know I am." Leia kissed Ben on the cheek. "now for my surprise, everyone contributed to this so it's really a wedding gift from everyone." They followed Leia to the house, "This is your own personal house, near enough so I can visit anytime, and far enough so." Poe interrupted, "so no one walks in on you. Ben and Rey laughed, Leia smiled, "Plus plenty of room for anyone who comes along."

Luke laughed, "Grandbabies."
