The Prince's Scavenger

Life or Death

Rey's POV
Days pass quickly and I'm due any second.

A wheelchair is kept in my room and  Ben almost never leaves my side.

"Today's the day, I can feel it." Ben smiles.

"You said the same thing yesterday and you'll say the same thing tomorrow if it doesn't happen today, you just want to say you were right."

"I do." He laughs.

There's a knock on the door and Ben gets out of bed to get it.

"Breakfast." Maz smiles as Ben opens the door.

"Thank you." I smile back.

"No problem my lady." She hands the tray to Ben and leaves.

"We have toast, orange juice, and oatmeal."

"I don't want that." I rub my stomach.

"What do you want then?"

I glance away and out towards the balcony.

Quit being spoiled Rey.

I look back. "Orange juice and toast is fine."

"I'll take the oatmeal then." Another knock comes. "Come in!"

Phasma enters. "Good morning. I have what you asked for ready Ben."

I eye him. "What did you request now?"

"Oh nothing." He smiles. "Need help?"

"If you want, then we could show her at the same time."

"Show me what?"

"Nothing." He kisses my forehead. "I know I said I would quit leaving-"

"Ben, just go." I smile at him.

"Okay." He kisses my lips now.

"Wait!" I grab his hand and put it on my belly. "They're excited cause you're excited."

He smiles as our child kicks his hand. "I love feeling them kick me."

"Bet you'll change your mind once they learn how to kick ass like their mom." I grin.

"Yeah probably." He chuckles. "Okay I'll be right back."

He gets up and leaves with Phasma who smiles and nods to me.

I sip my orange juice and feel something on my thigh.

I look down to see if I spilled anything. I don't see anything, but I begin to feel something moving.

I set my food down next to me and pull back the covers. I don't see anything at first, then I move my legs to find the source.

A strange liquid comes from me.

My water broke.

"Ben!" I shout. "Ben!"

I get up and the first contraction hits. I hold my breath in pain and lean against the bedside table.

The pain lessens and it feels very weird to walk. I go to the wheelchair and sit, then begin rolling myself.

I make it into the hallway, where people race down the hallway with Han on a portable bed.

I don't see Ben, but I wheel to try and keep up, but fail completely.

I see Leia and we make eye contact. Something's wrong with Han and I can't take her away. I keep wheeling myself for another 30 seconds and Leia comes to my aid.
