Rey's POV:
Ben surprised me. Whenever Padmé cried in the night, he would get up to go quiet her down. It took him seconds for her stop crying when he held her. Was he using the Force on her?
I giggled at the thought for some reason. He's abusing his power.
At least I got sleep. Ben was almost insistent when it came to her. He told me once that he didn't want to be like his father. If Ben was acting the opposite of his father, I couldn't help but feel badly.
Ben never came back to bed one night. I walked out of the room, finding him asleep on the sofa, with Padmé curled on his chest. His hands almost covered her entire body.
I leaned over the couch and stroked his hair back. I know he wanted this, just to have a normal life. He deserves it.
The thought always came as crazy to me whenever I looked over at the two of them. I didn't think when I saw Kylo in the forest, 'I'm going to have a child with you' or in the interrogation room that I would marry him. It was so bizarre just looking back.
/He would swing her up in the air or bop her on the nose or spin around with her in his arms. Either way made her giggle.
"You spoil her Ben."
"What?"
The scar was still prominent on that cheek. I felt my blood boil, ignoring the icy air.
He was cut up and bloody on the ground. The hatred I felt for him was so strong.
I'm going to marry you and have your child.
"Rey?"
I shook my head and looked back at those eyes that have seen what I've seen.
"Oh. Sorry. I said you spoil her."
I spun around, tucking a hair behind my ear.
His arms reached around me as he pressed his lips to the back of my neck.
"It's the past, yes?"
I hate that I can never hide unless I really tried and was aware of it.
I traced my hands over his before nodding.
"There's a reason I spoil her. And you."
I didn't ask. I knew he would tell me.
He turned me around, facing her.
"What do you want your future to look like?"
