Of course a wardrobe change was needed. I feel like the Skywalker boys are like obsessed with style and fashion for some reason. And what the heck is wrong with Rey? We shall see soon. Glitches need to die -.-

Rey's POV:

These meetings with Hux were getting longer. I hated doing this to Ben. He's been more watchful as of late. He's even stopped training me, saying I don't need it anymore. That was a week ago.

I slept in his room now but sometimes I would get out of bed to eat. I ate like six meals a day.

Of course all that was in cafeteria again were the churros.

I picked one up because I was really hungry and bit into. This was amazing! I picked up another one as I shoved the rest of the other in my mouth.

"What're you doing?"

I whipped my head to the side, holding the sweet stick guiltily. I chewed and swallowed the large piece with difficulty.

"Eating."

Ben was leaning against the wall with his hands in his pockets. He got up and walked up to me.

"I thought you hated these."

"I guess I don't anymore."

"Huh."

He put his hands around my waist. "Come back to bed." His lips pressed against the side of my neck.

"But I'm hungry."

"You eat twice as much as I do."

He eats a lot, too. Him telling me I ate more than him is a problem. "No.."

"C'mon."

He grabbed my hand.

"W-wait!"

I grabbed three more.

"No seriously you need to see a doctor. You sleep forever and eat everything."

I folded my arms. "Can you stop making fun of me?"

Ben put an arm over my shoulders. He was now wearing Jedi robes and he looked very good in them.

"I'm not. I'm just saying-"

A ringing from a microphone interrupted us.

"Attention all workers of the First Order, a special announcement will be made by our General Hux over the intercom in a few moments." It clicked off.

I looked up at Ben.

"What is this?"

I already knew what it was but I couldn't say anything. Not if I didn't want all of this to end and get him back.

Ben was silent, waiting for the message to come.

The mic clicked on again.

" I am here to announce a tragic event in First Order history. Supreme Leader Snoke has died of unknown cause."

I looked over at Ben. His eyes were wide and his face was pale.

"Because of these series of events, Snoke has commended me to look over and become the new Leader of the First Order. His death isn't a loss but a will of grace, a rise of a new age."

The microphone clicked off.

This is it.

We sat in silence together for a while.

"Hey, can I tell you something?"

"I can't think right now. I can't believe this."

I stood up. "Ben please, it has to do with you and me."

I have to tell him now or else it'll be too late.

I couldn't believe I have to say it. I never thought I'd say it to him.

I took a shaky breath before turning to him.

"Ben, I'm-"

"You two!"

I looked up. There goes my chance. At least for now. Maybe it's best that I tell him later.

A few stormtroopers walked up to us.

"Come with us. Leader Hux would like to see you."

"Already making orders and he got this job not too long ago," Ben muttered.

We walked with the stormtroopers. I squeezed Ben's hand because it may be the last I ever do hold his hand. He may never trust me after this.

Hux stood with his coat hanging off his shoulders.

"Ah Ren, and the lovely Rey."

Ben's energy heightened.

"I know you killed Snoke you bastard! Just so you could move higher up. Now what are you going to do?"

"I'm planning on taking over the entire galaxy," he said with a smile, "and Rey will help me do it."

Ben scoffed.

"She'll never join you or the Dark Side."

I let go of his hand and stepped back.

I had to do this because he could and I couldn't, not in the condition I am in now.

Ben's POV:

"Rey tell him."

She just stared at me.

"Tell him the truth Rey!"

She stood there firmly.

"I had to act like it so you would turn to the light. It'd be easier to kill you that way. Supreme Leader knew you were wavering. He needed some distraction for you. When Hux killed him that motive was gone. It's just us now. I proved to be the superior
/onthe Star Killer Base. Now your services will no longer be needed."

I clenched my jaw before shaking my head slightly. This can't be real.

I glared up at Hux and brought my hand up to Force choke him.

He wasn't even struggling. "What do you think I've been doing with Snoke besides talk? I learned about the Force as well and it only works on the weak-minded."

I dropped my hand and looked back at Rey. I waved a hand at her and she fell into my arms.

After I laid her on the ground, my eyes whipped up at Hux.

"I'm going to kill you."

He shrugged. "I doubt you can. I can dispose of you just as I will the girl eventually."

I stood my ground with my fists balled.

"Besides someone that'll be much stronger than you and Rey combined will be in this galaxy."

Hux laughed. I cringed.

"What're talking about?" I made sure to keep my eyes away from his gaze.

"I'm surprised she hasn't told you yet. Then again you don't talk much anymore, do you?"

Was he talking about Rey?

My eyes burned up at him. "What the hell did you do to her?!"

Hux wiggled his gloved finger. "No no Ren, it's what you did to her."

I swallowed. Half of what he said next, I hardly heard. My heart was pounding so hard, I almost missed it.

I watched his lips move.

"Rey is pregnant."

Everything seemed to slow down.

I wanted to shout out that he was lying but I felt it. It was true.

"Another messed up kid in the Skywalker bloodline. It's alright Ren. I'll raise the poor child up to my expectations."

I fell to my knees and hunched over, covering my face with one hand. Hux kept talking on how he would raise the kid. Is that what Rey was trying to tell me earlier? It had to be. She was going to have a baby.My baby. Our baby.

/It hit me. As tears came to my eyes I realizedit is my kid. Even if Rey stays on the Dark side, it's also my kid. He or she can't hate their father like I did. I want this child to be happy. I want this child to be mine.

I envisioned Rey, me, and the baby together, living something that looked normal. And for once, it was something I wanted.

Hux has taken so many victories of mine, so many things I've been proud of or happy about. He's not allowed to take this one. I got to my feet.

Hux raised a brow. "Hm? Still wiling to fight, eh?"

I picked up my saber and pointed it at him.

"I'm going to take Rey back and we'll raise our child together. And you'll be rotting in hell."

I may not be able to use the Force against him but I can get physical.

He began pulling out something from underneath his coat.

An electric sword? Just so he could fight against me.

There was no doubt, I was stronger than him. With every hit, he would take a step back. All he was doing was defending.

I brought my saber down onto his, electric sparks flying around his face.

He pushed me off and kicked me back.

How do I beat this guy? I can't let him live. I don't think he wanted me to see through this fight either.

He began swinging and hitting against my saber. I hit his blade aside, keeping the electricity away but he was still pushing.

He gave me an opening and I twisted his blade out of his hand.

Once I was ready to send the ending blow, he punched me in the face.

My body turned on impact. Hux took the chance and hit me in my ribs, I didn't see with what.

Shit. I tasted blood on my lip.

I dropped my saber when he hit my ribs, or kicked them.

I started to get up again but he kicked me again with such force. Where did he get all this power? I wasn't going to win. I hunched over with my hands on the ground, blood dripping on the floor.

My lightsaber crackled.

I looked up and Hux held it with cautious hands. I guess this is what I get for performing a rogue mission.

"This is the end of the line, Ren! Say goodbye to your pitiful life!"

I threw a hand up to my face and looked down at the bloodstained floor.

Stay safe, Rey. I heard my lightsaber being swung down. The burning sensation would take over my entire body and pierce an internal organ or two. Maybe he'll cut off my head. Just keep her alive!

I heard another lightsaber ignite as I was supposed to be feeling the full swing of mine.

I peeked my head up. My grandfather's lightsaber was pierced through Hux. He dropped mine as he stared at the blue one impaling him.

I wobbled standing up. Rey pulled hers out of him, letting him fall.

Her hands were shaking so bad she dropped her lightsaber.

"Ben!"

She fell into my arms. "I'm sorry!

She hid her face in my chest. "I thought you could've killed Hux but you almost-"

"Rey. It's over. We'll be alright."

I pet her hair.

"I'm going to have to change things around here. Make announcements."

She nodded against my chest.

I let go of her to pick up both our lightsabers.

"C'mon."

She ran up to me and grabbed my arm. I shuddered as we left.
