Leia was walking with Ben and Rey down the aisles of target . Rey was holding Ben's hand while she checked stuff off her list. It was Christmas vacation and they finally were young shopping .

"Leia ... Do you think we should get a nursing bra ?" Rey asked .

"Well ... Do you plan on nursing ?" Leia asked .

"We haven't really talked about it" Rey said .

"Well you know all the benefits" Leia asked .

"What type of benefits ?" Rey asked her letting go of Ben's hand .

"stronger immunity... Brain development... Bond between mother and baby" Leia informed her as she looked at the bottles .

"Ben ... Do you think we should ?" Rey asked .

"You're asking the wrong person " Ben smiled .

Leia smacked his arm "answer her question!" Leia said .

"Well with all the benefits... I think we should " Ben grabbed her hand again .

"Okay then you definitely need a nursing bra" Leia said and then Ben leaned down and kissed Rey's forehead .

"How many cribs where you thinking of getting?" Leia asked .

"Mom !" Ben yelled .

"Oh right !" Leia said and then walked over to the burping cloths.

"Ben ?"Rey asked pulling him aside .

"Huh ?" He asked .

"Do you love me ?" She asked on her tip toes.

"What do you want?" He asked folding his hands over his chest.

"Popcorn and an ICEE" she smiled .

"You're lucky we're at target ... And all bra talk is grossing me out " Ben said and walked off to get her some .

"Where'd Ben go ?" Leia asked

"Cravings struck so he went and got me something " Rey said .

"That's good" Leia smiled and looked and some of the mobiles .

"How come Ben shouted at you when we were talking about cribs ?" Rey asked .

"Oh " then Leia hesitated "because we found his old one and that ones gonna go in our house "

"Oh ... Leia ... What's giving birth like?" Rey then looked at the noise makers .

"It hurts ... Take the drugs if the offer them ... But it's worth it in the end.."
Leia then picked up a teddy bear.

"I'm back" Ben said and handed her the drink and popcorn. Rey stood on her toes and kissed his cheek.

"Why do you have to be so damn tall?" She asked .

"he gets it from Han" Leia said "Han is over a foot taller than me ... Ben's probably 20 feet taller than you" Leia joked and then took a handful of popcorn from Rey .

Ben went to take some and she snapped "hey ! Why are you nice to my mom ?" Ben whined .

"Because she didn't cause this !" Rey said pointing to her stomach .

Rey was in her room , reading up on baby stuff when her phone rang . "Hello ?"

"Hey ... " Gwen said .

"What's up ?" Rey asked .

"I think ... I think my water just broke"

"Oh ... Oh okay ... I'm gonna come get you ... I'll be there in like 5 minutes " Rey said and then ran down the stairs .
