Notes: For the next few chapters, I'm going to insert a trigger warning.
Things are going to get violent.
Rey stood numbly as she waited in the line. As it moved, she found it hard to breath. As the door opened to admit the next woman, Ylenia called out, "Anara, please come assist with this, I need to grab something." Anara moved ahead to Ylenia, taking the datapad from her. She asked the next woman to follow her in. Anara glanced to Rey and back to Ylenia. Ylenia returned her gaze as she waited for the door to close. She quickly walked to Rey, grabbing her by the elbow, pulling her into the back room. Rey was startled as Ylenia released her and shut the door. "Stick out your finger," she ordered. Rey looked at her, confused. "Rey, I think you are hiding something. I want to be sure before we give an official test through the medical droid." Rey lifted her shaking hand. Ylenia held it and with a small prick, took out a stick from her pocket. Squeezing her finger until a droplet of blood appeared, she positioned the stick over it. Rey watched as it seemingly sucked up the blood. Ylenia dropped her hand as she waited for the results. Her eyes widened in shock as she glanced up at Rey. "Rey, you're pregnant."
Her mouth opened and closed twice as she stumbled back into one of the bunks. Grasping the cold metal, she tried to breath. Tears started filling her eyes, as she looked up at Ylenia helplessly. Ylenia crossed over to her and enveloped her in her arms. "I understand why you lied and somehow tricked Ren, but now you have to think about the consequences. If he finds out that you were fertile and impregnated by Hux you both may lose your lives." Rey started sobbing at that. "What...what c-can I do?" Ylenia pushed her to arm's length, "I'll use my blood for your test. It'll buy you some time. Perhaps you can tell Hux tonight and he can help you." Rey nodded. Ylenia pulled out another stick, pricked her finger and allowed the blood to flow up into it. She nodded to Rey and opened the door.
Ylenia and Rey walked back out into the room, Rey falling back into the line. Ylenia knocked on the door. Anara opened it and let her in as the other woman walked out. The line continued to move. Once it was Rey's turn, she went in and stood in front of Ylenia. The droid handed her another stick. Ylenia pricked Rey's finger and placed the stick over it, dropping it to the floor. "Droid, please retrieve that," she said. As the droid bent for the stick, Ylenia produced the one she had used. The droid turned and handed her the dropped stick. She grabbed it and shuffled it with hers. Inserting hers into the pad, she pressed a series of buttons. Satisfied with her work, she excused Rey. Rey nodded and walked back out into the main area.
Hux paced on the bridge glancing at his watch. It had been another tiring, but utterly dull day. He could only review so many battle plans before they began to all look the same. Kylo Ren was due back any day now. He had been training with his knights on some nearby planet. Hux usually found it pleasant when he was not around. This time, however, he was dreading it. It would mean Rey would be delivered to him instead. He finished his rounds and hurried back to his quarters. His comm rang out signaling Rey's arrival. He leapt up and pressed the keypad to allow them entrance. The Stormtroopers pushed her in. Hux was surprised to see that she had been crying again, her face red and blotchy. He dismissed them and began removing her bands. He tipped her chin up and felt unease as she still refused to meet his eyes. "Rey?" He asked. Fresh tears streamed down her face as he pulled her to him. He held her tightly and she wrapped her arms around him, not wanting to let go. "Please tell me," he pleaded, as he pulled back. She continued to stare at the floor, mumbling weakly, "I'm pregnant." Hux gaped at her as she finally met his eyes. She saw disbelief, hurt and finally searing coldness. "Some Resistance fighter then," he asked icily. She gulped, and shook her head, "No, newly pregnant."
Hux backed away from her, stunned. "Newly pregnant?" He stammered. She nodded, wide eyed, as tears continued to course down her face. He ran a hand through his hair as panic set in. "You were not fertile. That's why he brought you here," he said helplessly. "I tricked him with the force. You have to understand why. I thought I'd be rescued by now!" If Ren found out, no, when he found out, Hux would be a dead man. He looked up at Rey, seeing his terror matched in her eyes. Their child, he thought. His military career be damned, but he had expected a much different life than what he was faced with now. He was expected to marry a high ranking woman, to have a prestigious run with the First Order. Now he was marked. His life would be ended for being caught up in something bigger than his expectations.
"Go select something for dinner, I need to think," he ordered. "I'm not hungry," she said meekly. "For once would you do as you are told!" He shouted. She tried to reach out for him, but he moved briskly towards his room and shut the door. She stood in the middle of the room, her face in her hands, as fresh sobs began to rack her body.
He paced his room pulling at his red hair. He had to get her off of this ship. He couldn't help her steal a TIE fighter. She'd never make it past the Finalizers' defense system. Kylo Ren was due back any day. He slammed his fist against the wall. How could she, he thought bitterly. He had begun to care about her. This now made it even worse. His own flesh and blood, their child. Perhaps he could make a distress call. He quickly donned his uniform. He was sure it'd be found out, but hopefully the Resistance would act quickly enough.
He exited his room, and found Rey curled up on his reading chair. He knelt before her as she turned to glance at him. He sought her hand, placing a kiss on it. "I will fix this," he promised. He stood abruptly and walked to the door. "Wait for me here," he called back to her. She watched as he left, the door sealing behind him.
He hurried down the corridor to the communications room. He strode in, his arms behind his back. The two officers stood quickly to salute him. He nodded and said "I need to make a personal call." The two officers looked at one another and stood to leave the room. Once they were outside, he sat and punched in the coordinates for D'Qar. He grabbed the comm and began speaking, "The girl is on board the Finalizer, send immediate help. I repeat send immediate help." He pressed another button to send the message. He breathed out heavily. Running his hands through his hair again, he stood, pressing the button to clear the log. That would buy them a little time.
He left the communications room without another word to the officers. Walking back to his room, he hoped they received the message soon. He pressed the keypad to his door. As her walked in he looked to his chair, where Rey had been, finding it empty. He paled and ran to his room, throwing open the door. He relaxed when he found her curled up in his bed. He removed his uniform and slid in next to her. Pulling her towards him, he wrapped his arms around her. She sniffed as another sob ran through her. "It'll be ok," he murmured. "I've sent a distress call to the Resistance," he added quietly. She rolled to face him, shocked. "You what?" She whispered. He kissed her forehead and repeated, "I've called the Resistance." She shook her head disbelieving. "You'll be killed." "I'm already dead," he said matter-of-factly. Tears streamed down her face. She locked her arms around his neck and kissed him fiercely. He moaned into her kiss. Pulling away, her face pained, she asked him, "Come with me?" He looked up at the ceiling and sighed. "I can't come with you, Rey, for many reasons. I'm a war criminal. They'd execute me on the spot. If not, I'd certainly be locked away. I'd have to betray the First Order, whom I've followed my whole life. I'd never see you again," he added, "Which I don't think I'd be able to stand. I'd rather die here, knowing I saved you and our baby." He hugged her close. Eventually they fell asleep, still clinging to one another.
Anara, head bowed and naked, knelt on the floor. Officer Tiley had his belt in his hands. Walking around her, he ran the leather across her shoulders. She shivered at the touch. "Get on your hands and knees," he commanded. "Yes, sir." She bent over and assumed the position. He knelt by her side, grabbed her waist and swung the belt. A resounding crack filled the room. Anara bit back tears. Tiley inhaled deeply before swinging the belt again. She felt her knees begin to buckle. "Hold still," he growled, gripping her hard. He swung again and again. Anara cried out, as tears poured down her face. Tiley grinned to himself and moved to free his erection. He positioned himself behind her. Licking his hand, he wiped it over the head of his cock. He pumped himself once and then slammed into her entrance. She cried as he plummeted into her over and over, finishing violently inside her.
He stood and pulled his trousers back up. Grabbing her dress, he tossed it back to her. She reached for it as she tried to stifle her sobs. She got dressed in silence, as Tiley poured himself a glass of whiskey. He downed it as he watched her. She stood, keeping her head downcast. He sauntered over to her, grabbing her jaw roughly, forcing her to look up at him. "You know how much I enjoy our little trysts, Anara." "Yes, sir," she replied automatically. He laughed darkly, releasing her, and walking back to the bottle of whiskey. Anara, swallowing hard and trying to gain courage, said, "Sir?" He looked up at her in mild surprise. Eyebrow raised he asked, "Yes?" She gulped, "I have some information you might find interesting." "Oh, do you now? And what might that be?" "It's about Kylo Ren's breeding slave." He looked up at her intrigued. She continued, "I think she's hiding something, her and Hux. I think she may be pregnant." "You think?" He asked, "What makes you think?" "Today we were all tested, during which Ylenia left the med droid with me. Rey had acted suspiciously when the droid had come in." Tiley clapped his hands together. Coming to Anara, he grabbed a handful of her hair, and pulled it so that she was forced to look up at him. "Oh, little Anara. If this proves to be true you'll have made me a very happy man." She smiled up at him weakly as he pulled her to him.
D'Qar – Resistance Base
"General, we have an urgent message." Leia looked up from the papers scattered before her. She beckoned the officer forward. He handed her the datapad. She pressed the button and the message played, "The girl is on board the Finalizer, send immediate help. I repeat send immediate help." Luke looked up from his seat by the window. "Rey," he said. Leia looked at him and sprang into action. She hurried from the room, Luke and the officer just behind her. "Get me the Red Squadron. Bring them to the briefing room, along with Finn and Chewbacca. NOW!" The officer ran ahead to the communications room. He got onto the alert system and made a base wide call out for everyone Leia requested. The base was a flurry of movement as everyone scrambled.
Leia jammed the keypad outside of the briefing room. The door opened and she moved to the giant screen. "Gather me all of the intelligence we have on the Finalizers' movements and last known location," she barked. The control staff began compiling data pads and holomaps. Luke moved next to her and waited for the information to appear. Finn came running into the room next, Chewbacca not far behind him. "You found her?" He asked breathlessly. "Yes," Leia clipped. She was deep in thought as a complete map began to project onto the screen. She was finally handed a datapad. She waited impatiently as the Red Squadron filed in. Poe pushed his way over to Finn, clasping his shoulder. "What's going on, buddy?" He asked him. "They found her, Poe. They found Rey. She was right where we'd thought she'd be." Finn answered him. Poe broke into one of his signature smiles, and shook Finn's shoulder good naturedly. Finn smiled back as Chewie roared happily.
"Right, a few moments ago we received a distress call from the Finalizer." Leia played back the message for everyone to hear. Finn spoke up, "That's definitely not Rey's voice." Leia looked over at him, "It has to be assumed someone is helping her or that she is hurt or in danger." Finn felt sick. No wonder it took so long, he thought. "We are sending you all on a search and recovery mission. You will be leaving immediately following this briefing. Red Squadron, you will be distracting and disabling the ship. Finn and Chewbacca, you will be boarding and it will be up to you to find Rey," she finished. Luke cleared his throat, "I would like to go with them. Should they run into trouble they may need the extra help." "Fine," Leia said. "You all have you orders. Black leader, take this data pad. It's been uploaded with everything needed." Poe took the pad from her and nodded. "Let's go get our girl," he called out. The squadron rang out behind him. "Dismissed!" Leia yelled.
The fighter pilots ran down to the hanger. Finn, Chewbacca and Luke jogged behind them. The hanger was in a flurry of commotion, flight checks and orders being thrown about. Finn led them over to the Falcon. Walking up the ramp, Finn looked back at Luke. "Hey, how about you fly this thing with Chewie? I've heard you are one heck of a pilot." Luke smiled back, "Of course." They buckled themselves in and waited for flight clearance. Luke flipped a series of switches and glanced at Chewbacca who growled excitedly to him. "We've got clearance," Luke said. He eased the ship out of the hanger and up into air space. Once free of the atmosphere, he punched in the hyperspace coordinates for their jump to lightspeed. "Hold on," he shouted.
