Rey's POV:

We went to the infirmary first. His lip would be purple for a bit and a couple of ribs were also bruised.

They gave him a few pain killers and bandaged around his ribs.

I sat beside him until they were done.

Once the droids left, Ben spoke to me.

"So what's this about having a baby?"

My eyes flew open. Hux must've told him.

"I'm sorry. I should've told you sooner. I mean I didn't think I-well we would-I mean I don't know if you want a child so suddenly-"

He grabbed my hands and brought them to his lips.

"I will love every part of you, even your children."

He just knows how to get to me. His lips brushed my knuckles as he spoke.

He lowered my hands to look me in the eyes. "We can do this together."

I nodded before pulling him in for a kiss. The hardest people that I will have to break the news to is at the Resistance base.


I did return to the Resistance. Our last conversation still played in my head.

"I'll come back for you sweetheart, I promise."

Those were the last words I heard before he had decided to take control of the First Order.

Ben wanted his speech to be broadcasted throughout each system. Everybody crowded around the large main screen.

Leia held my hand as we watched.

I don't think I've ever heard him publicly speak before but doing so was in his blood.

"Very tragic events have occurred in the past few days: the loss of Supreme Leader Snoke and General Hux. As Commander of the First Order, I declare a new regime," he cleared his throat,"We will no longer be a system of darkness and mayhem but of peace
/and justice."

There was a buzz around the the room.

"Inhabitants of every planet should no longer be in fear but accept the First Order as what we hope to become."

He nodded before stepping down.

Whispers filled the air. "Is he serious?" "Maybe it's a trick." "I don't believe it."

Leia let go of my hand and stepped up.

"Let us celebrate for this news my son has delivered. The Resistance no longer has a fight. The First Order has fallen."

Everyone cheered.

"I know exactly the place to celebrate too."


Ben's POV:

I was sent coordinates from Rey and I couldn't believe where I ended up.

Endor.

It was already nighttime but there was definitely a celebration going on.

My shuttle landed and I climbed up the ladder in the tree. To my surprise, people cheered when they saw me.

Some shook my hand or clapped me on the back.

I saw FN-Finn and he nodded before shaking my hand. Poe threw his arms around me.

I almost laughed, hugging him back.

Everyone was here.

Uncle Chewie, my mother, Uncle Luke, even the droids.

People were dancing and drinking as eWoks sung and played music.

I felt a strange presence. I looked over my shoulder and slowly walked up to the figures I saw.

Force ghosts. Obi-wan Kenobi and my grandfather.

In the back of my head, I thought of my father and grandmother.

Someone grabbed my hand gently and I felt like I was at the academy again with my favorite girl.

I turned back to her. She had her Jedi robes on and her three buns back.

I picked her up and spun her around. I never thought that I could be this happy. Being here with everyone laughing, drinking, dancing, it made me feel different.

It made me feel human.
