He came into their bedroom , she was fast asleep in her nightgown laying on the chair with a thin blanket wrapped around her . A holopad in her hands and glasses on her nose .

She was waiting for him.

She had been waiting for him to get home every night for a week and he just realized that she waited.

He shook his head with a smile and picked her up , the holo and pair of glasses resting on the seat now.

He carried her to bed and laid her in the warm blankets as he went to get dressed for bed .

When he came back her little form was cuddling his pillow with her eyes fast asleep.

Kylo untangled her from the pillow and let her hold onto him , arms tight around him.

He kissed her forehead softly then closed his eyes to sleep with her.

*

That morning he woke up to see Rey still holding onto him , now her head was gently on his chest and her legs were over his.

Kylo kissed her forehead and slipped out of bed to get ready for work. Kylo got dressed and clipped his saber into his belt when Rey woke up.

"Good morning " she yawned , stretching her arms above her head and around her body .

"Morning Rey" he responded as he buckled his boots .

"What are you doing today ?" She asked standing up out of bed and throwing her robe on.

"A few meetings " he told her "one about the  Jedi church found on Hoth"

"Jedi ?" Rey asked .

"Yes ... old ruins where found , we plan on going there to get kyber crystals ... the kind for lightsabers and that can power the Death Starkiller..." he told her.

"Oh" Rey responded "okay ... " she kissed his cheek and left to get ready herself for the day.

"I know how you feel about the Death Star" Kylo said as he stepped into the bathroom with her.

"Yes and ?" She asked looking up from her powder.

"I understand this makes you angry but this is our galaxy ... this is how we plan to conquer and keep safe..." Kylo told her.

"Safe from whom ?" Rey asked he hands folded over her chest.

"From everyone" he responded and leaned down "to keep you safe ... and our future" he brushed back a piece of loose hair and kissed her softly.

"Kylo" Rey said stepping back from the dark lord , her hands now at his waist. "I understand Kylo, I don't like it but I understand... these are decisions that you and your grandfather have to make as rulers... you're thinking with your head and not your heart" she raised her hand to his dark tunic to fix the wrinkles. "If you where thinking with your heart then you wouldn't be doing this, you wouldn't be killing those poor innocent people... children.." she shook her head and sighed, looking down at her bare feet.

"Rey" he softly titled her head up to meet his gaze "I am thinking with my heart, I want to protect my wife from all the evil in the world, wither that's the sith or the jedi or just the force...I will always protect you Reyhanne" he said kissing her cheek.

"Protect me from everything?" she asked with her eyebrow raised.

"Everything... That can and cannot be the force, I vowed too" he kissed her lips,

She pulled away and buried her face in his chest , slowly his hand came to her back to softly rub her back.

"Are you okay Rey ?" He asked , rubbing small circles along her back "sweetheart ?"

She sniffled then nodded against his chest. She looked up at him with a teary eyed smile "no one has ever care this much about me"

"Well I do" he said softly and kissed her temple "I always will"

"Oh Kylo" she gushed and threw her arms around his neck to hold her pale spouse.

"Always Rey" he kissed her "always"
