Star Wars Imagines

Confession (Ben Solo x Reader)

"Don't cry, Y/N, this is a time to be happy," Leia said as she stroked your hair gently.

You were sitting on the floor of the hangar, your head resting in Leia's lap, who was perched on a bench.

The hangar was empty– save for a few X-Wings in need of repairing– due to a routine interplanetary trip Luke and Ben were leading for the Padawans.

Ben had been away for a week now, and since you had learned you were pregnant, Leia hadn't left your side.

"I just don't know how I'm going to tell him," You looked up at Leia worriedly.

"Do you know how much Ben loves you Y/N?"

You nodded, sniffling as you sat up beside her.

"And do you love my son?"

You looked at her curiously, "Of course I do, but--"

"But nothing," Leia smiled, taking your hand in hers, "If you love each other then you'll work through this together. And you know I'm not going anywhere."

You smiled sadly, "But all of that means nothing if Ben isn't ready to raise a child."

"I'll be damned if I let any harm come to my grandchild-- or to you for that matter."

"You're too kind to me Leia," you admitted truthfully,

"My son isn't the only one who cares about you Y/N. No matter how Ben reacts, you won't be alone in this."

You felt your eyes start to water again, "But Ben has been so busy helping Luke lately, he can't just abandon his duties to care of this child–"

"Oh yes he can," Leia said quickly, "I'll see to that, don't you worry."

You nodded, quickly wiping the tears from your eyes.

At that moment, the large door to the hangar began to open and you felt your heart rate suddenly quicken.

Leia gave you one last smile before standing up, "He loves you, Y/N. He's going to love this baby too," Leia told you as she put a hand on your shoulder. You thanked her with a quick hug before you headed out towards the Tarmac-- prolonging the inevitable wouldn't help you here.

"Y/N!" Ben exclaimed as he climbed out of the X Wing. He began to jog over to you as soon as he spotted you, a wide grin plastered on his face.

You tried your best to muster up a smile, but as Ben approached you he sensed something wasn't right.

"What's wrong?" Ben asked as he got close enough to see your expression properly.

That was all it took for the tears to come back again, and before you knew it, you were bawling.

Ben immediately wrapped his arms around you, hugging you tightly as you buried your head in the crook of his neck.

"Sweetheart talk to me," he mumbled as he stroked your back soothingly.

You moved away from him slightly, trying to wipe away your tears, "C-Can we go somewhere private?" You had suddenly become aware of the Padawans starting to gather.

Ben nodded quickly, taking your hand and leading you to a small office inside the Hangar.

Once you were inside, he smiled, "I missed you, Y/N," he brushed your cheek lightly with his hand before moving up to your eyes to wipe your tears, "What happened while I was away?"

You were quiet.

"Y/N, you can tell me anything. You know that, don't you?"

You nodded, not taking your eyes off the floor. Ben gently lifted your chin up so that your gaze was level with his, "I hate seeing you like this. What can I do?"

"Nothing," your voice trembled.

"Would you at least tell me what's gotten you so upset? I want to help."

You just looked at him. The longer this went on, the more anxious you would get. Your lips trembled as you struggled to get the words out, "B-Ben, I'm... I'm p-pregnant," you said finally. You immediately averted your eyes and looked down at the floor once again.

"Pregnant?" He sounded surprised-- That was understandable, "Y/N, you're... You're pregnant?"

"Look, I get if you don't want to raise this baby. After all, we hadn't even discussed children yet. Not to mention you're so busy at the--"

Ben stopped you, pressing his lips to yours and kissing you with intense passion.

You were slightly out of breath when your lips separated, but more confused than anything else, "Wait, y-you're not...angry?"

"Angry?" He scoffed, "Y/N, why would I be angry? The love of my life is pregnant-- I couldn't be happier!" He laughed, lifting you up and spinning you around excitedly.

His hands remained around your waist as he put you down again. He frowned slightly, "Is this what got you so upset? You didn't want to tell me?"

"I didn't know how you would react..." You mumbled, still wrapped in his embrace.

He chuckled, "You've made me the happiest man in the galaxy, Y/N."

You smiled at that-- the first genuine smile since finding out about your pregnancy.

Ben sensed your thoughts and traced his fingers around the outline of byour mouth softly, "You're going to be such an amazing mother," he whispered as he peppered your skin  with gentle kisses, "And I'm going to be with you every step of the way."

Author's Note: This is an adaptation of a oneshot I did with Poe x Reader. I thought Ben fit this storyline nicely!
