Prompt: How about Poe finding Kylo as he suffers a miscarriage? Or maybe just saving him? Thank you so much.

So if any of you know one of the stories about Mary Shelley's miscarriages (involving her husband & a doppelganger) then you'll know what inspired this story. Also it's short but like I think it captured what I wanted to do this idea (which yeah I did take some artistic license with and focus on the "saving him" more than the finding him as he suffers it but eh).

Warnings: miscarriage, possible death of character (it's left unanswered),

"Get a bath of ice!" he yells at them as he approaches the base. Most of the people that come running just stand there staring at him and the person he is supporting but Jess is there with them and she knows him well enough to not question what he says. She orders two of the others to go get the bath ready and then comes to support the weight of Kylo Ren on the other side.

Ren is heavy. So heavy and he seems to only be getting heavier by the second as his conscious slips further and further away. Poe wouldn't be able to carry him alone for much longer and he is grateful for the help Jessika gives him.

Between the two of them they manage to drag him into one the one house (well, hut) they had actually been leant which includes a bathroom that that has an actual bath and sure enough it had been filled with ice and water. It is a struggle to get Ren into the bath, especially when he stirs at the feeling of the cold and tries to fight them despite his weakened state, but they managed to get him into it, uncaring that his clothing are instantly soaked through (Poe knows that they are probably already ruined anyway).

"Do you need me to get a medic?" Jessika asks. She knows that there must be a point to such treatment. That something must be going wrong and the ice is there to stop it from getting worse.

"Yes."

"What should I tell them?"

"He's bleeding out. He's," Poe isn't entirely sure if he should say it. If Kylo wants it to be shared with anyone at all but he figures it's better for the medic to know what they are going to be dealing with and he trusts Jess not to share with those who are likely waiting outside, desperate for an explanation for why Kylo Ren is in the state he is in. "He's had a miscarriage."

"A miscarriage?" Poe watches her gaze turn to Ren's stomach and the thick layer of robe that reveals nothing as to the state of what is hidden beneath it. He knows it to be true though. Knows because he watched as Kylo Ren curled around it. Watched as he begged it not to happen. Jess looks back at him and his face apparently tells her enough that she knows it to be the truth. "Right," she says, straightening up, "I'll be right back."

She leaves him there with the pale unconscious Kylo Ren. Leaves him there to watch the slow and shallow rise and fall of his chest. Leaves him there feeling like he is waiting for it to stop.

He doesn't know if he made it in time. He had tried to get Ren back to his base as soon as he realised what was happening but the other man had fought him at first. Had told him that he was fine and he should go away and that he didn't need you anymore. Of course then Ren had swayed and Poe only just caught him before he fell to the ground. It had been clear then who had won the argument.

At first Poe had thought they would be fine. That he could get Ren back to his base and a medic and everything would be fine. As time passed so had Kylo's strength and Poe found himself less guiding the man and more carrying him. By the time they had made it to the base Poe was almost sure it was too late.

He still is half-sure it is too late. Ren looks too pale, and his breathing is hardly even. The ice may slow down the bleeding but it will hardly stop it and if he has already lost too much there isn't much that can be done. Unless the medic arrives soon and has something that can help that doesn't require them obtaining it from somewhere else there is still a good chance that his life could slip away with the child's.

"Poe." Ren's voice is thin and barely audible but in the quiet of the room Poe hears it as if it was screamed.

"Yes?"

"Why?"

Poe knows there is little point in replying. Kylo Ren, if he is even conscious anymore, is so close to slipping under that he will hardly remember what Poe replies with. He knows there is no point replying but he still feels the need to articulate an answer. To explain why he did what he did and why he couldn't just leave Ren there, scared and alone as his body tried to destroy itself along with the child it had already purged.

"Because it was the right thing to do."
