Rey was sitting down in the living room of the Solo's house . She noticed that both Han and Ben weren't saying anything to each other .

Rey stood up and walked to the kitchen , where Leia was cooking . "Need any help?"

"I would love some ... Do you know how to cut chicken ?"

"Yep" Rey smiled and then walked to the cutting board .

"You know you don't have to help -"

"I know but they're in there and not talking ... It's awkward... And really -"

"Annoying ?" Leia asked .

"Exactly besides , I love cooking" Rey smiled .

"That's great ... Make sure you cook a lot and eat a lot so the baby comes out all chubby" Leia said .

"I think we have some time before we need to start feeding me twinkies 24/7" Rey then added the chicken to the bowl and grabbed another chicken breast.

"I'm so excited... I mean ... Angry at my son but happy "

"I'm glad ..." Rey said to her .

"You know ... He's always been so dark , always been alone ... He hasn't smiled in years ... Smirked yes but joy smiled ... I just hope this baby will him some joy" Leia said adding some oil to the pan .

"Ben smiled ... During the ultrasound ... When they were about to start ... He came in late and then smiled at me when he sat down next to me ... And while they were talking pictures ... He was really excited ... Asking questions ... "

"Really ? What type of questions ?" Leia asked putting the chicken in the pan.

"The gender ... He and I even talked about it... He thinks we're gonna have a boy" Rey said and then grabbed the pasta and began to boil it.

"And what about you ?"

"I think it's gonna be a girl " Rey said .

They were all sitting at dinner , eating and the whole main discussion was about the baby.

"So ... Due date ... We haven't been told that!" Han said taking his glass.

"The doctor said one here around April or May ... What day again Ben ?" Rey asked trying to get him into the conversation .

"April 30th" Ben said .

"Oh so a spring birthday ! When's your birthday Rey ?" Leia asked .

"January 15" Rey said .

"You'll be 18 then huh ?" Han a said .

"Yea" Rey said .

"So... Have you two thought about names yet?" Han asked .

Rey looked at Ben , as if she was telling him to say something . She then slightly kicked his leg .

"Oh ... No , no names yet ..." Ben said .

"Well ... Did you find out the gender ?" Han asked . Rey and Leia both looked at each other .

"No ... It's to early " Ben said and took a drink of his water "I asked though ... They said in ten weeks "

"Well.. We wouldn't have to wait ten weeks if you kept it in your pants " Han took a sip of his wine .

"Han !" Leia said .

"I'm just saying what we've all been thinking " Han defensively said .

"Han not now ..." Leia gritted through her teeth.
