Chapter Seventeen

Rey woke up that morning a little sore but happy. Her hair was messy and she was wearing nothing. She felt a soft hand on her waist and chin on her shoulder.

"Good morning sweetheart" Ben said in her ear. "Sleep well?"

"Yes" she said and turned to face him, his eyes looked at her lovingly with happiness in them. His hair, much like her own, was messy and all over. He had a little bit of stubble on his chin and cheeks. "And you?"

"Good, very good" he smiled as he brushed some of her hair out of her face. "Sit up for me" he said as he got out of bed and threw his plush grey robe on.

She sat up, holding the sheets to her chest to protect her from the cool morning air until Ben came back with her soft pink robe.

He helped her into the warm robe and then came to sit behind her with a hairbrush in his hands.

"What are you doing?" She asked as he began to brush through her tangled locks.

"Braiding your hair" he responded as he began to pull parts of her hair into a plait. "My mother taught me when I was little. I've been wanting to braid your hair."

"I have too much of it. I should cut it like Gwen's" Rey said with her eyes closed enjoying the feeling of someone else playing with her hair.

"No" he kissed her neck "I like it this long" he continued to braid her hair as they sat in silence.

What seemed like hours was really only 3 minutes but when it was done Ben wrapped his arms around her pressing his chest into her back. "Do you want a baby?" Rey asked.

"Why do you ask?" Ben wondered.

"I see you with Millie and how you ask Poe questions about Jessika. Would you want a baby?"

"I do love children, plus I think a little monster running around her with long hair like you would be quite adorable. And I enjoy making a baby... so yes I would like a baby" Ben told her.

"Good, I want one too" she said turning to face him. "When should we start trying?" She asked.

"Now... now is good"

Rose noticed a skip in Rey's step that day and Rey noticed on in Rose's as well.

"What are you so happy about?" Rey asked Rose while they walked into the parlor for tea.

"Okay... you can't tell anyone, not yet anyway but... I'm pregnant! I'm only 8 weeks so it's still really early but ... the doctor confirmed it this morning !" Rose said with a huge smile yet hushed voice.

"Oh Rose how wonderful! I'm so happy for you ! Well both of you!!" Rey said quietly as she squeezed her friends hands gently.

"Thank you so much! And what's your news ? I could tell something is making you all smiley" Rose asked.

"Well last night... I am officially no longer a maid" Rey smirked.

"You... you did it!!" Rose said.

"Hush! And yes we did . It was wonderful oh Rose. Now I know why people write books and poems about this. And now I know why Poe and Jessika got pregnant so quickly" Rey gushed. "But your news is so much more exciting ! How did you tell finn?"

"Well I had been vomiting on and off for a few days and we thought it was something I ate or the stomach flu but then I missed my period. I was worried so I sent for a doctor and they came in about a week ago. And he just told us the news yesterday before the party!" Rose told her. "I told finn right after the party. He was so excited!"

"That explains why you didn't have any champagne" Rey thought aloud. "Do you want a boy or a girl ?"

"A boy. Finn wants a boy too. And we want to make them a sibling as soon as possible. We want a big family"

"How big?" Rey asked.

"5 or 6 children how about you and Ben" rose questioned her as she poured some milk into her tea.

"Oh we haven't discussed how many yet, just that we want them. I think maybe 2 or 3... 5 or 6 is way too many for me. Plus Ben and I will have to run a country some day." Rey added.

"If my body allowed it I would have a hundred. I just don't get why Hux and Gwen haven't had any more" Rose told her as she added a tea sandwich to her plate, she was eating for two now she needed to eat enough.

"Maybe they just wanted one. How many do you think Jessika and Poe will have?" Rey asked her.

"Hmm" Rose said as she took a bite of her sandwich "maybe 3... possibly 4. I know Jessika loves kids too and zoos wants his own clan" she joked.

"The world does not need 4 more Poe Damerons" Rey added with a smile.

Soon Gwen ran into the room, with Millie following closely behind her. "What is it?" Rose asked.

"Jessika has gone into labor ! She asked me to call for you two" Gwen said who had her hand on her knees and she took some deep breaths.

"I'm gonna have a cousin!" Millie said perfectly fine.
