They were having dinner , everyone was there expect Rey . Ben looked around to see no sign of her.

"Where's Reyhanne ?" He asked his mother.

"I thought she was with you" Leia said .

"No , after breakfast you two began to plan the ball for Padmè" Ben replied to her.

"I had to respond to a letter so we stopped, Poe have you seen her?"

"Briefly , we were just catching up and then she left "

"How come ?" Han asked .

Poe took a sip of his drink "I'm not sure ... She's probably ill" he lied "she's most likely taking a warm bath and Maz is watching her hair ... That's what used to happen when she was ill back in Jakku" Poe replied .

Ben focused on Poe and began to peer into his mind . "Rey don't -" then she ran out of the room .

After their meal Ben asked to see Poe for a moment. "When Rey is ill ... Does she like certain foods ?" Ben asked him.

"Warm broth and sourdough bread... Warm water and honey ... And a slice of lemon " Poe said .

"Thank you ... How in the maker could she be ill?" He asked "she can't be with child ... It would have taken at least two weeks for her to be expecting and we've been married for one " Ben ran a hand through his hair . "Thank you Poe " he said and walked away .
Poe sighed and walked off to find Finn .

Ben carried in a tray with warm broth and sourdough bread and a cup of warm water with honey on the side and lemon slice.

"Sweetheart ?" He called when he opened the door to their chambers . "You in here ?"

He heard to response so he walked over to their bedroom . When he stepped inside the darkness consumed him since all the blinds had been closed.

Ben set the tray down and turned on one of the lamps near their bed. He saw a big mountain of blankets on the bed . "Rey?" He asked peeling of of one of the blankets .

"Go away" she replied . Ben sighed and peeled off more blankets till he saw her laying in her nightgown and her head on her pillow "I said go away Benjamin!"

"Rey what in the world is the matter?" He asked moving to sit next to here .

"Go away Benjamin!" She turned her body so he couldn't face her .

"Rey , Poe told me you might be ill do I brought you some warm broth and tea"

"I don't need anything ! Go away Benjamin!" She shouted pulling the covers up over her head.

"If your ill sweetheart I should take you to the medic to get checked out ... You might be servilely ill.. "

"For the last time , I'm fine ! I'm not severely ill ! Now get out Benjamin I don't want to see you !" She yelled when she sat up .

"Rey did I -"

"Leave ! I don't want to see you ! Leave ! Go sleep elsewhere! I don't want to see you so leave !" She shouted .

"Sweetheart what's -"

"Leave !" She yelled tightly through her teeth .

"Rey sweetheart-"

"Now Benjamin!" She pointed at the door .

He put his hands down defensively and walked out of their bedroom. He shook his head and grabbed his clothing from their large closet and walked to their bathroom to change and brush his teeth .

Why in the world was she so upset about. Did he insult her ? Did someone say something . He had no idea ...

"Mother !" He said his mother must have said something to upset her while they were planning .

Ben ran down to his mother's office where she was drinking tea and reading a book . "Mother " he said out of breath .

"Yes Ben ?" She asked .

"When you and Rey were planning the ball did you say anything to her ?"

"Well we talking about the party and the about Padmè's favorite colors and foods and flowers but Padmè was all we talked about"

"Nothing else ?"

"No ... Why ?"

"She's upset at me for some reason that I have no clue about ... I walked into our room and she was buried under blankets on refused to speak to me"

"Maybe she just needs some food -"

"I brought her food and tea and she refused to eat it ... She didn't let me stay in the room and she kicked me out !"

"You better find out what you did ... You don't want your wife mad at you for long ... You know happy wife happy life ... You better find out soon Ben ... I need to go to bed I'll see you tomorrow dear" she kissed his cheek then walked off.
