Star Wars: Age of Destruction

Twenty-Four

Kylo's POV:

Another child.

Another child.

Another child.

Another child.

This was the main thought I'd had all last night and all this morning since I woke up to Mae rubbing my jaw. She now has my hand, tracing every bone, divot, and callus. She was so peaceful and quiet doing this, that I could tell she was on the verge of falling back asleep. I let her. She was so much more peaceful when she slept anyhow.

I slowly got up, chuckling as I was only clad in my boxers. I pulled on some more comfortable pants before trudging into the kitchen to make breakfast for Mae and I. As I work, I begin to think about this new child. It's Force signature is already strong. Almost stronger than Anakin's. This new child will make a fine Sith. But I can feel that Mae will let this child have a choice. She doesn't want it to be forced into the Dark Side like she was.

I hear a soft groan behind me and I gently turn around to see my lovely wife standing behind me. She slowly walks towards me, wrapping her arms around my torso. "Love go back to bed." She shook her head, grumbling softly. "No. I wanna be in here with you." Her lips dance along my back and shoulders. I shutter softly as her kisses, earning a quiet giggle out of her. I smile, loving to hear her laugh. I slowly turn to face her, wrapping my arm round her and bringing her to my side. She gently rests her head upon my chest, arms hugging my waist.
"I love you, so much." I smile at her words and kiss her head softly. "I love you too." I smile and go back to cooking. She slowly pulls away, jumping and sitting on the counter next to me. She swings her legs as I cook, humming softly. "You're so cute." She giggled at my comment and I went back to cooking

Once I finished up breakfast I turned to her and handed her, her plate and began to make mine. She sat down, beginning to eat when I sat across from her.

Mae's POV:

Once done with the breakfast that Kylo made for us I begin to clean up while he showers. He was so peaceful this morning. It made my heart happy to see him happy and cooking breakfast. Once I finish cleaning I pull on some more comfortable clothes and go for a run.

Up the hills, up the mountains then back down. Two hours is how long I'm gone before I walk back in sweaty as hell. I quickly run to the shower, letting the cold water wash the sweat away before switching it to hot so my muscles can relax underneath the water while I wash.

After my shower I walk back into the living room to Kylo, humming softly. I sit on the couch next to him and he throws an arm around my shoulders. "What do you want to do today love?" He smiled softly and hugged me close. His lips slowly place kisses on my cheeks and I smile softly. "Let's go into the town center, but not in our robes and helmets. I don't want people recognizing us." He nods and stands, helping me up. "Let's go get into our training robes then." I nod, going to change.

After we change into our robes we walk through the town, Kylo's hand bumping mine occasionally. I feel other women's stares on him and it infuriates me. He's mine!
He grabs my hand, squeezing it reassuringly, trying to let me know his eyes are only on me. He stops at a jewelers, the necklaces simple and sweet. He motions for me to keep going.

I decide to explore the mechanical parts, finding enough to make two lightsabers. I purchase the parts, placing them in my bag before walking over to a fruit stand. I smile at the woman running it before buying an apple. Soon I hear Kylo calling my name and I walk over to him. He beckons for me to follow and I do, following him back to the little house in the woods.

Once inside he slowly takes off the hood and I take off mine. He smiles and kisses my forehead before draping a simple white necklace around my neck. The new jewelry tickles my neck, earning a quiet giggle out of me, causing Kylo to laugh softly. "You're so cute Mae." I chuckle, turning to face him and he hugs me close. His hand drifts down, pressing against my stomach softly. His thumb rubs softly against my stomach as his lips press to my forehead. "I hope it's a girl." He whispered, earning a smile out of me. "And if it is a girl, what will we name it?" He smiles at my inquisition. "Leia. After my mom." He whispered, his eyes turning sad out of remembrance of what he did to her.

My hand gently take his face and I kiss him softly. "Don't be sad. We're going to name out child after her." He nods, taking a deep breath. "I'm gonna start on dinner love." He whispers before walking off into the kitchen. I then feel a tiny disturbance and look down at my stomach smiling. Then, I feel a powerful force signature hit me, telling me the gender.

It's a girl.
