"Don't worry. They are going to love you Rey! The only thing I'm worried about is you meeting them and running as far away as you can get!" I tell my girlfriend. We're going to my family's house for Christmas break. We've been together for about three years now and she still hasn't met my parents and uncles. I drive as she sits shotgun with her feet on the dashboard, humming along with the radio.

"I'm just worried -"

"Stop. No need. Like I keep telling you, they will adore you Rey!" I interrupt.

A short time later we pull into the driveway, I turn the car off and we both hop out and go up to the door. As soon as I knock, mom opens the door, sees Rey, and raises an eyebrow in my direction. "Hello dear! You must be Ben's girlfriend, Rey." She says and hugs Rey.

Rey laughs, "Hello  Mrs. Solo, it's nice to finally meet you!"

Then a voice from inside shouts. "Leia its cold, let the poor kids in!" And we all shuffle inside the warm house.

"Ben!" My favorite uncle, Luke yells, tackling me in a hug and practically knocking me over, as soon as I got inside. He was like an older brother growing up since he never got to be with mom.

"Uncle Luke! How are you? I haven't seen you in forever!"

"Great! How 'bout you? And who's the girl?" He asks in return.

"I'm good! And this is my girlfriend, Rey. The one I told you about."

"Oh... that's... she's the one?" He says.

"Yeah." I reply and we share a look.

"Ben." I turn around to face the familiar voice.

"Hi dad." I say putting my hand out to shake his, but he hugs me instead.

"Nice girlfriend. When should I expect grandkids?" He asks.

"Ugh Dad, stop! I don't want to have this conversation right now."

"Sorry, but you can't blame a guy for trying! When's the wedding?" He says.

I roll my eyes and someone grabs my shoulder and I turn to face them. "Hi Uncle Chewie. When did you get here? I didn't see you when we came in."

"Just got here. Who's your friend?" He asks in shyriiwook.

"I'm Rey, Kylo's girlfriend." She says, sneaking up on us. I stand there completely dumbfounded. She can speak wookiee?

"Kylo? Really Ben? You still refuse to use your given name?" He rolls his eyes. "Very nice to meet you Rey. Glad he finally found someone good for him. The force knows he needs it!"

I glare at him and turn to Han. "Rey, this is my father, Han Solo, Dad this is Rey, my girlfriend." I say.

"Han Solo, the smuggler turned rebellion general?" She asks.

"The one and only!" He says, smirking.

"Time to eat!" Mom yells, stopping me from killing my father.

•••••••

After dinner, Rey and I decide to take a walk. "So, what do you think of my family?" I ask. "They're wonderful Kylo. I love them." She replies and I take the small box out of my pocket, "Good, because I have one more present." I say and kneel in the snow with the box open. "Rey Grace Kenobi, will you marry me?"

•••••••

We clamber into the warm house, smiling. Everyone is in the living room, perfect! "Well?" Han asks, and we turn to him confused.

"What?" I ask after a few moments.

"Let's see the ring!" He says.

"What? How did you... " I say as Rey moves to show them.

"Oh come on! Romantic walk in the snow, small object in your coat pocket, bringing your girlfriend by for Christmas, it was bound to happen!" He chuckles.

"It was pretty obvious, Ben." Mom adds, then she stands up and hugs me, "congratulations Benjamin, I'm proud of you." She says

••••••••

Two weeks later, we're driving back to school. Rey's kissing me every chance we get. The wedding is about eighteen months away. Soon Rey will be Mrs. Rey Solo, my wife.

The end
