New Life

By: Sailormoon7771

It was night, Rey turned over in her and Ben's bed to find his spot was empty, she sat up and pulled her robe off the hook, she walked down the hallway to check on the twins, Ben jumped, "Rey?" she smiled, "What are you doing you're going to wake them up." Ben stood up, "I was protecting them." Rey smiled, "That's sweet, but they need their sleep and so do you. Come on they'll be waking up soon as it is." Ben reluctantly walked away and followed Rey into the room.

The sun rose, and Hannah and Han started crying, Rey got up, "Ben?" she nudged him, "I need your help." He opened his eyes, "babies?" Rey nodded, "they probably need to be changed, and fed. So come on get up." She grabbed Ben's arms and tried to pull him out of the bed, He finally sat up, "I'm up, I'm up." Rey laughed, and went into the babies' room, "Good morning Younglings!" she smiled, as she rubbed both of their chests. Ben walked in, "Alright you change Han, and I'll change Hannah." Rey smiled, Ben smiled, taking Han, in his arms. Ben laid him down and took the diaper off when suddenly he was squirted in the face. "Han not again!" Rey turned around, "Ben you need to put something there so he can't do that." Ben sighed as he wiped his face off, "I keep forgetting."

Rey handed him, Hannah, "Here, why don't you feed her a bottle, I'll finish up Han." Ben smiled, "Woah you're fast." Rey nodded, "go on before he pees again." Ben got Hannah and took her downstairs to the kitchen. Rey finished changing Han, and followed Ben downstairs, "You ready to train today?" Ben asked, Rey, grabbed another bottle from the fridge, and started warming it up. "Want me to hold her while you do that?" Rey smiled, "You used to be afraid to hold them both." He smiled, "I guess I'm getting used to it." Poe walked into the house, "Where are my niece and nephew." "Good Morning Poe!" Rey smiled, "Guess what?" Poe asked Rey, looked nervous "What is it?" Poe picked up Hannah, "I'm going to ask Piper to marry me." Ben gulped, "you're what?" Rey walked over to him, "Give me Hannah." Poe looked confused, "Why?" Rey slowly pulled Hannah from his arms, "She needs to eat."

Rey put Hannah on Ben's arm, and slowly walked up to Poe, "What couldn't you do while I was holding the baby?" Rey smiled "this, barley," she said as she pushed Poe on the floor, "You can't marry her!" Poe landed, "What the hell is wrong with you Rey?" Rey stomped her foot, "What's wrong with me?" she asked Poe nodded, "What's wrong with me? What's wrong with you marrying a woman that you barely know, you've only been on one date, and now you want to spend the rest of your life with her?" Poe stood up, "What's the difference as I recall you didn't date him long either." Rey shrugged, "this is different." Poe walked to the door, "How so?" Poe asked, "We spend a lot of time together on Achch-to before coming here, and besides every bone in my body is telling me she is bad news Poe, if you could see past the blonde hair, blue eyes, and excessive amounts of lip-gloss, you would see someone that isn't worthy of you." Poe walked out the door, slamming it behind him, Rey turned to Ben who was busy feeding the babies their bottles. "Do you think I'm wrong?" Ben shook his head, "You know how I feel about her." Leia walked in the house, "I'm ready to babysit!" Rey nodded, "Thanks, mom." Leia picked up Hannah and Han, "They have their daddy's pretty hair."

Ben got up from the rocking chair, "let's hope they don't have my ears." Rey smiled, and looked at the babies' ears, "I think Han does, but I think they're adorable." She said kissing Han's ears. Ben touched his son's ears, "Sorry buddy." Rey smiled, "Ready?" Ben asked Rey, she nodded, "If you need us at all Mom." Leia smiled, "We'll be fine, won't we?" she asked looking down at her grandchildren.

Rey and Ben went upstairs to get dressed and made their way out to the training yard, Luke and Finn were sparing, "Good Morning!" Rey said with a smile, Luke and Finn stopped, "Good morning!" Finn shouted, "Do you know what's wrong with Poe?" Rey nodded, "We got into an argument this morning why?" Ben grabbed a wooden sword from the rack, and started swinging it around to warm himself up, "What about?" Luke asked, "Piper." Rey responded grabbing a sword of her own. Luke smiled, "Taking it easy today?" he asked, Rey held the sword out, "I'm ready." Luke picked up his sword. Rey quickly raised her sword over her head, and began swinging it at Luke, he blocked her blow, "Rey, don't attack in anger." Rey heard what he said, and tried to calm down, but it was no use as her attacks got more aggressive, Luke fell down on the ground, and raised his hand Rey stopped, her eyes widened. "Are you ok?" she asked snapping out of it. Ben turned, "Uncle Luke, did she beat you?" Luke shook his head, "No she just knocked me down." Rey threw the sword across the training area with a grunt.

Finn walked over to his friend, "Rey, is something wrong?" she turned around, "He wants to marry her." Finn shrugged, "who Ben?" she shook her head, "No, Poe wants to marry Piper." Luke and Ben walked over, "So that's what this is really about?" Luke asked. Rey nodded, "He's going to ruin his life." Luke walked over to her, "It's his life." Rey started crying, "What if she kills him or something, I couldn't bear to look at myself in the mirror if there was a chance I could have stopped it." Ben put his hand on Rey's back, "Rey, it wouldn't be your fault, I don't think he will marry her." Rey shrugged, "No he won't if he does I'm not going to the wedding." Rey walked off into the compound, "Wait I thought you wanted to train?" Ben called out, she turned around, "I need to calm down."

Ben turned to Luke, "Are you alright?" Luke nodded, "I've had worse, that wasn't that bad. Ben, Finn sit down I need to talk to you." The three sat down, "What's this about? Luke sighed, "It's about Piper." Ben put his hand on his forehead, "You're not in love with her too are you?" Luke looked disgusted by the mere thought, "No, I think I'm her father." Ben raised his eyebrows, "Really?" "Morning Boys!" Piper said walking into the compound, "Good Morning." Luke said waiting for her to get out of earshot. Finn stood up, "Now that you mention it she does kind of look like you." Ben nodded, "I agree."

Rey walked through the compound towards the kitchen to get a drink of water when she noticed Piper going into the lab, Rey kept her distance following her down the hallway to the prison area, "What is she doing here?" she thought to herself. As she hid in the shadows, Piper turned around, "Rey?" Rey gasped, "Yeah, what are you doing here?" Rey asked defensively, Piper held up a tray of food, "Taking food to prisoners, I could ask you the same thing." Rey hesitated, "I was looking for Ben." Piper looked shocked, "Wow, you two never leave each other's side, don't tell me there's trouble in paradise." She said in a patronizing tone. Rey shook her head, "No never." Piper smiled, "I think he's outside I better get back to work." She turned around walking towards the cell Hux was in, Rey wanted to say something so bad, but she couldn't help feel like it would be dangerous to confront her without a lightsaber.

Rey acted as if she left the hallway, but she still hid, "Good Morning, Armitage." Piper said sliding the tray underneath the cell door, "I trust you slept well." Hux looked up to her giving her a dirty look, "Why are you being so nice to me?" He asked pulling the tray closer to him. "I'm not being nice to you." She turned and walked back up the hallway.

Rey waited until she was out of earshot, "You." Rey whispered, Hux looked up from his plate "What do you want girl?" Rey kneeled by the cell, "Why are you here?" Hux took a spoon full of beans and ate it. "Your husband and those friends of yours put me here." Rey smiled, "You seem to know Piper?" she questioned, "How?" he shook his head, "Don't come over here asking me things like we are friends because we are not." Rey stood up, "That doesn't look very appetizing." Hux shook his head, "it keeps me alive." Rey smiled, "Will you talk if I bring you a steak?" Hux thought for a moment, "I'll think about it." Rey turned around, "Fine, but just so you know. I could force it from you." He stood up, "Then do it." Rey shook her head, "That's not my style, but I could, so either you decide now, or I may not be so accommodating, you have one hour to decide." Rey left the dark prison and went back out to the training yard.

Piper stood before Snoke, "You aren't married to the pilot yet?" She shook her head, "I'm not, but I'm close." Snoke's breaths shook the building, "What about that failure? Is he dead." Piper smiled, "as a doorknob. Why do you insist on me marrying the pilot, if you tell me I may try harder?" Snoke closed his eyes, "You're the daughter of Luke Skywalker, and your mother was Palpatine's Daughter, he's a Kenobi if we want to have a real chance against the Solo's twins you must produce a child with him." Piper walked closer to Snoke's hologram, "Supreme leader you do realize that our child's likeliness of being force sensitive, is still the same as anyone else, my daughters are not force sensitive." Snoke nodded, "I know, but with this combination perhaps, you will be lucky this time."

Ben, stood outside doing some sword work with Finn, "Keep going Finn!" he called out, Finn tripped over his footwork. "You almost had it, Finn." Finn got up, "I don't think I'll ever get that formation Master Ben." Ben raised his eyebrows, "I'm not a Master." Finn shrugged, "What do you mean?" Ben got a drink of water, "I was never officially named a Jedi Master, so just call me Ben." Piper stood in the distance, "Perhaps, you should have." She walked up to him, "I mean you're very talented with a sword." Piper picked up a wooden sword, "Can I have a go at it?" Ben shrugged, "I guess, but are you sure?" she smiled, "just go easy on me."

Ben held his sword out ready to counter Piper's attack, when she charged at him moving like lightning, he blocked her blow it was almost like he was fighting himself, or someone he had previously trained, Ben ducked under her sword, and switched sides, He ran in for an attack but she blocked it as if she already knew he was going to do that, she then tripped him, holding the wooden sword to his chest she breathed heavy, "Woah!" Finn exclaimed Ben, got up. "How'd you do that." She smiled, "Beginners Luck." She handed him the sword and skipped away as if nothing had happened. "Did you loose on purpose?" Finn asked Ben, shook his head, "I was giving it all I had." Poe walked over to see Piper walking towards him, "Hey, Piper?" she smiled, "Hi Poe." She grabbed his hand, "How's your day been?" he smiled, "great, want to go out again tonight?" he asked, she smiled, "sure."

Rey walked into the house to check on Leia and the twins, "Mom, how's it going?" she smiled, Luke held Han, "Where's Leia?" he smiled, "bathroom what's up?" Rey sat down beside Luke on the couch, "Would it, or rather is it an abuse of power to take something from someone's head using the force?" Luke shrugged, "I need more on the situation, besides I haven't taught you that yet." Rey smiled, "I learned it from Ben when he interrogated me. I need information for Hux about Piper." Luke cleared his throat, "I think you should try another method first, but if that fails you should do it." Rey's mouth dropped, "You condone it?" he shook his head "in most cases no, I'd rather not, but being a Jedi sometimes you just have to do it." Rey nodded, "I understand." Leia walked downstairs, "Where's Hannah?" Rey asked, "she's sleeping, Han doesn't want to go to sleep today." Leia picked him up, and kissed his head, "Are you back?" Rey shook her head, "I have a matter to take care of." She stood up, and began cooking the steak, Ben walked in the door, "I can't believe this."

Rey looked up from the frying pan, "What's the deal, honey?" he looked up, "Piper beat me." Rey looked confused, "in?" Luke stood up, "in a wooden sword fight." Luke picked at his robe, "How?" Ben shook his head, "It was like I was fighting myself!" Rey put the steak on a plate, "Is that for me?" she shook her head, "It's for General Hux." Ben grabbed Rey's arm, "Why?" she looked down, "It's leverage he knows something about Piper we don't." Ben loosened his grip, "what if he doesn't tell you." Rey shrugged, "I'll take it." Ben smiled, "I can come with you." Rey put her hand on his chest, "Ben, I have to do this myself, It's to save Poe from himself." Ben nodded, "If you need me." She smiled, "I'll ask."

Poe and Piper walked around the base holding her hands, she let her waist length hair fall free blowing in the wind, "Piper?" he questioned, "What?" he stopped, "Poe, can you stop saying my name in then not saying anything?" He laughed, "I'm sorry I'm just nervous." Her intense blue eyes met his brown eyes, "Piper will you marry me?" she smiled, "Yes, I'd be honored." Poe kissed her spinning her in a circle. "I love you."

Rey walked down the prison's hallway to Hux's cell, "Are you hungry?" she showed him the steak, his eyes widened as if he had never seen food before in his life. "So, will you spill your guts?" he bit his lip, "for what a steak? You think I would throw someone under the bus for a slab of meat? Besides, it's probably laced with poison." Rey shook her head, "It's not." She took a small bite and ate it. "see." He shook his head, "I won't do it!" Rey put the plate on the floor and kneeled on the floor looking in Hux's eyes, "Hm…not much is in here. You reproduced?" Hux tried to resist, but failed, "You're married, to—suddenly Rey was cut off by the sound of a lightsaber echoing in the hall she turned around facing a masked creature. Rey pulled her saber out, powering it up. "Who are you?" Rey charged the figure, "I'm Rowana Shadow." She pushed Rey back using the force Rey screamed as she hit the floor she kept the saber glued to her hands.

"There isn't much room here,, " Rey thought to herself as she got up she and Piper ran outside clashing lightsabers together, Ben was taking a shower when Luke noticed the sound of two lightsabers clashing, "What's that?" Leia asked, Luke pulled his robe off and threw it on the floor, he powered his green lightsaber, and ran outside trying to find the battle, where Rey and the strange figure were fighting, Piper knocked her down, "You've finally lost." Piper removed her black glove and let the purple lightning flow through her fingers, Rey screamed as the heat from the electricity hit her body, Luke ran over putting his saber between the electricity, and Rey.

"This isn't your fight old man!" Piper yell Luke ran towards her with the saber, countering her attacks, "You, aren't going to get away with this whoever you are." Piper smiled under her mask, "If you keep fighting me you will die." Suddenly she felt heat pass through the hand that held her red lightsaber, she screamed out in pain. Luke held the saber out, "Do you want to go in more pieces I suggest you leave." Smoke covered Piper, and with that, she had vanished into thin air. Luke ran over to Rey, whose head rested on the concrete. "Are you alright?" Ben ran out "Rey!" she smiled, "I'm fine." She started to get up but fell back down. "She'll be alright." Luke smiled, "Does she need a medic?" Luke shook his head, "No, it's not warranted." Ben picked up Rey, "let's get you home." Rey rested her head on Ben's shoulder. "Thank You, Master Luke."
