Rey woke up before Ben . Her body cuddled into his side , her arms around his toros  and her head on his shoulder.

Ben was sitting down , asleep on the couch, his head was back and his arm was wrapped around Rey's side .

Rey woke and blinked away her sleep . She smiled at his messy hair and small amount of stubble on his chin.

The sun was seeping through from the large window . Rey leaned up and planted a kiss on his cheek before she untangled herself from him.

She walked to the kitchen and poured herself a glass of water . Rey pulled out her phone and began to scroll through Twitter.

"Rey?" Ben said groggily from the couch.

"Huh?" She asked walking back into the living room .

"What's wrong ?"

"It's morning ... And you slept over " she sat sat next to him . "Woah ..."

"What is it ?" He asked cracking his neck .

"You know Hux and his little friends were at the cemetery?"

"Yeah ... Why?" He raised an eyebrow.

"The cops found them breaking into the office there and they all get arrested" Rey showed him on her phone.

"Well it's a good thing I didn't go" he said and then grabbed her hand . "How's the baby?"

"Okay .... In not feeling sick this morning so that's a good thing" she smiled at him . "And you're birthday  is coming up isn't it " she began to play with his giant hand .

"Yeah ... November 8th" he then took her hand and began to crack her knuckles.

"Any plans,"

"No" he told her and stole her water , taking a drink .

"Well ... You have no plans ... I have to work that night" Rey said and took her water back. "And tonight"

"Yeah ? That's a shame ".

Rey was at work , serving tables . With her small bump it helped her get a bit more tips .

She moved quickly throughout the diner , serving and giving the things the customers asked for .

She couldn't help but feel bad . Ben wasn't doing anything for his eighteenth birthday.

She knocked on Han's office door . "Come in"

"Hey ... I was wondering if you and Leia have anything planned for Ben's birthday "

"No , he said he doesn't want anything ..." Han said .

"I was wondering if we could throw a surprise party for him here ? In the banquet room upstairs ?" Rey asked .

"Only if you plan it ... I can pay but I can't plan anything to save my life" Han laughed .

"Sounds good " she smiled and then walked out and began to serve more tables .
