Ghosts of the Dyad - A Reylo story

Union

The millennium falcon gently touched down on the grassy bank of Ach-To.

Rey nervously took a deep breath in.

"You could always marry Poe instead. You could make an honest woman out of him." Joked Finn.

Rey shot him a death stare.

"Okay okay I was joking!" He said "he'll do great."

Rey smiled.

"Ready?" Finn asked.

"Ready." She replied

It had been a few months since Rey and Ben had both returned to the light. The resistance had finally triumphed over the first order and now here she was, ready to marry the love of her life.

Finn extended his arm towards her and she linked hers with his.

The ramp of the falcon opened and the pair descended slowly, Rey's veil billowing in the wind.

The sun was setting and she saw Ben looking over to her with nothing but love in his eyes.

The sight of the girl he loved, his soulmate carrying his child and walking towards him bought him to tears.

She was wearing a long sleeved lace dress which clung to her, complimenting her curves and showing her small baby bump. Pale blue flowers were nestled in her long, flowing hair which she was wearing down for once.

Everyone stood as she slowly walked down the white carpet that had been rolled out on the grass for her. Whispers of the guests marvelling at her beauty filled her ears as she smiled graciously.

She looked ahead of her and saw Ben standing next to C3PO and she realised that she wasn't just walking towards him, but her future and her whole life.

She smiled at him as she reached the altar. Finn patted him on the shoulder.

"Take care of her." He said, sniffing.

"I will," replied Ben through watery eyes. "You look so beautiful." He whispered, turning to Rey.

She replied with a smile.

The guests sat down.

"Dearly beloved..." Said 3PO.

"We're gathered here today to celebrate the love of Mistress Rey and Master Ben who have bestowed the honour of officiating their love to me. I believe you have prepared vows?"

They both nodded.

"Master Ben?"

"Right yeah...so. Rey. I've made so many mistakes in life, but you've always seen the best in me...and made me see that too and if there's one thing I'm gonna get right in this life, it's this. You're the thing that makes me good, my soul mate, my dyad in the force and from the moment we spoke in the elevator, I realised that you understood me more than I did although I denied it for so long. I will devote every second of my life making you as happy as I can possibly make you and trying my hardest to make up for my mistakes. I love you, Rey Solo."

"Actually she's not quite Rey Solo yet, she's..." started C3PO before getting a look from Rey.

"Mistress Rey...I believe you have some vows to share too?" He said.

"Ben, I always knew there was good in you, there always will be." Rey started, tears forming in her eyes. "There's good in us, we are a Dyad and it's always going to be you and me, wherever we go, we'll always be a bond in the force. So let's forget heritage and forget customs because that's just how it is."

"Now does anybody know of any lawful impediment why these two humans can not be wed today?" Asked C3PO.

Just then, the familiar beeps of R2D2 filled the room. Leia tapped him gently on the head. And said his name sternly.

"Oh R2, he never knows when to shut up, see there was this time where..."

"3PO the wedding." Whispered Ben.

"Ah yes, now where is that blasted droid with your rings?" 3PO asked, looking all around him.

Suddenly, BB-8 came whizzing down the aisle with and opened the small compartment in his body and produced the two rings.

"Do you, Master Ben take Mistress Rey to be your wife?" Asked 3PO

"I do." Ben smiled as he placed the ring on Rey's finger.

"And do you, Mistress Rey take Master Ben to be your husband?" 3PO asked again.

"I do." Rey said as she slid the ring onto Ben's finger.

"Then by the power invested in I, C3PO, human cyborg relations droid I pronounce you husband and wife. I suppose you may kiss the bride." He said.

Ben Drew Rey into a kiss and swung her downwards as she leant into his arm.

"Oh if I could I would cry." Said 3PO as the guests stood and clapped and they heard the familiar roar of chewbacca.

They walked down the aisle, arms linked together as Mr & Mrs Solo. As they did so, an array of force ghosts appeared, smiling. Rey noticed Anakin holding a young lady's hand. She was not a force ghost but she remained somewhat transparent. She could sense it was Padme. Anakin had found her, just as she had found Ben. He nodded at Rey and smiled and she did the same back.

She smiled and looked at Ben as they boarded the falcon for the first time as husband and wife.

They sat at the holochess table, Rey laying on Ben.

"I think she's gonna be just like you." He said, kissing Rey on the cheek.

"You think?" Rey said looking up at him.

"Strong, beautiful, fearless, stubborn..."

"I am not stubborn!" Rey said frowning.

"Sure thing." He said, grinning.

"I think she's gonna be like you." Rey said. "Brave, bright and a huge heart."

Ben smiled.

"Can I suggest a name?" He asked, resting his chin on her head.

"Mm" she said softly.

"How about Hanna? Sort of...after my dad?" He said, softly.

"Hanna Solo. I mean it beats Poe's suggestion of Drum Solo." She giggled.

"Hanna it is then?" Kylo smirked. He placed one hand upon her baby bump and suddenly, his head was flooded with visions of Hanna.

The first was of him holding her for the first time, cradling his daughter in his arms and her tiny fingers wrapping around his large thumb. The next, him and Rey walking in a field, both of them holding one of Hanna's hands and swinging her as her dark, shiny, raven locks flowed in the wind.

And finally her as an adult, hugging both of her parents. He noticed his hair was peppered with grey hairs. He kissed his daughter on the head and then Rey as he always did as the vision melted away from him.

"She's so..." he started.

"Beautiful." Rey finished. "I saw her too." She said, sitting up straight and looking at Ben. The pair of them smiled at each other and got up.

Ben raced to the cockpit.

"Where are we going?" Rey asked.

"To start the rest of our lives." He smiled.
