Ben was in his seventh and final period of the day, Biology. In fifth period he had agreed to brainstorm ideas with Rey. He was able to come up with a few but realized he knew little about taking care of a newborn. Sure he helped out when Uncle Luke ran a pre-school, but that stopped when he was 14 and he's now 17. Even then he always stuck to the older kids, he'd barely interacted with newborns, heck, he's barely seen a baby since then. He'll need to ask Threepio if they're allowed parental help, as well as have Rey teach him what to do. He smiled at that, Rey spending a good amount of time teaching him how to take care of the little robot-baby.
Bio was wrapping up and he already finished his work, now he needed to focus on adding more ideas to his list. He was about to add to it when an accented voice cut in.
"'Reylo's Baby Schedule?' What does that mean?"
Oh right, Hux was in this class too. "Rey and I are coming up with ways to take care of our baby." There, an explanation that would hopefully lead the red head to a different set of questions.
"All right, but that doesn't explain 'Reylo'." Hux cocked his head, his smirk growing into a knowing grin. Ben pleaded with whatever being was listening that Hux would just drop it. "Combining Rey and Solo? My, my Ben, it seems your little fondness has developed to more huh?"
"You noticed?" Ben tried fighting his blush, he was failing.
"We're best friends and I have a girlfriend too, of course I'd pick up on it. Not to mention a neon sign the size of the Death Star would be considered subtle in comparison to your constant ogling during lunch."
"You know, sometimes I really want to smack your accent back to Arkanis." Ben's threat was unfortunately betrayed by his flushed face.
Hux allowed a chortle to escape his lips as he thought about his friend's attempt to regain control. "If you'd like advice on how to approach her I'd be more than happy to give you some, Heaven knows you need it."
"Didn't Phasma make the first move?"
Hux's grin faltered a bit. "That's besides the point! I'm a better a flirt than you, and I'm offering help." Apparently, Hux's cheeks can burn as brightly as his hair. The single's gaze went back to the sheet of paper lying on his desktop.
Ben wanted to take Hux up on his offer, but he couldn't imagine all the advice working out well considering Hux knows next to nothing about Rey. He may ask Finn though, maybe Poe? No. Not Poe, the smirking merk would only team up with Hux to tease the tallest boy. Ben refused to be the only project that Hux and Poe would both willingly accept together. Ben looked back to Hux, "Right now I just need parenting advice. I should probably erase the title while I'm at it." Ben muttered as he rubbed the pink rubber across the graphite.
"What do you have down already? Let's see," Hux grabbed the sheet from the desk after Ben wore down the poor eraser. "Number one: Come up with shifts (i.e. we trade the baby every other day). Number two: Figure out where to go (i.e. upcoming school events, take walks in the park, out to restaurants, etc..) Number three: Name the baby (Stella, Aurora, Luna) Number f "
Hux looked to Ben with an eyebrow raised, "Your names seem to carry a theme." Ben didn't offer an answer but only looked to his hands. Hux only shook is head lightly with a twinge of amusement playing across his features. "Class is going to end in a few seconds, and we're going to go activate our kids soon. I'm sure Rey has all the basics covered.

Rey and Phasma were waiting for their partners outside of Mr. Threepio's classroom. Phasma caught a glimpse of her little ball of fire and ravenette counterpart and motioned to Rey to look towards the two tall teens trying to move forward in the swarming hallway. When the boys finally got through, Phasma moved to stand behind her boyfriend and observe Rey try to flirt with Ben.
Rey looked towards Ben with humour playing in her eyes, her mouth widening.
"You know, with your height, you'd think you'd be able to just plow through everybody!" Her smile widend when she saw Ben's cheeks and ears flush.
"Yeah, you'd think." Ben looked down and rubbed his neck, attempting to calm his face. He was a bit annoyed that his face gave away all of his emotions and that his face seemed to always be as pink as Rey's nail polish when she was around.
"All right you two! Quit flirting and let's go meet our babies!" Poe popped out from behind the group. Rey and Ben were about to argue they weren't flirting until they saw Finn shake his head and jerk his thumb towards Phasma laying her head on Hux's shoulders.
"How she can lay comfortably on his shoulder pads, I will never understand." Finn tsked as he wrapped his arm around Poe's shoulders. Ben nodded in agreement and opened the door, allowing everyone in before stepping in himself.
