Kylo awoke early the next morning so he could call his mother and tell her what had happened. It took a bit to psych himself into it since he hadn't spoken to her in a few years. He also had to tell his roommate Hux to go preoccupy himself until classes started, which he did without question. Taking a deep breath Kylo foaled his mother's cellphone number. After a couple rings she picked up.

"Ben? She asked, confusion in her voice. What a surprise! What can I do for you? I'm assuming you want something otherwise you wouldn't have called."

He scowled at his mother's words before forcing himself to calm down. "It's good to speak to you to mother. You are correct though, I do need your help with something. Yesterday I discovered I'm a father. I've been one for almost 2 years apparently but the truth didn't come out until yesterday. I want to sue for full custody.

Leia was quiet for several moments before she spoke cautiously. "Who's the mother? And why do you want to sue for full custody?"

"I'm assuming you remember Rey Kenobi from high school? She's the mother. And I want full custody because I'll be able to provide a better life for my daughter than she ever could. Plus she lied to me and that is unacceptable."

Leia sighed heavily. "Ben you need actual proof that she's a bad mother, lying to you doesn't automatically grant you full custody. No judge would ever grant you full custody because of that. And you know as well as I do that majority of the time the judge sided with the mother. You could maybe sue for joint custody but otherwise that's it."

"But there's got to be some way for me to get custody of my daughter! I've missed out on a year of her life because of that lying butch!"

"Language! His mother scolded him. Besides, after the huge blowup between you, me, and your father, I don't find myself to inclined to help you. I do want to meet my granddaughter though. I'm gonna come up next weekend to see her for myself and also to analyze the situation up close, then we can decide what to do. In the meantime treat the Kenobi girl with respect so you can see your daughter. I have to go, I'll see you next weekend. Goodbye son."

"Goodbye mother he murmured quietly as she hung up." After he was off the phone Kylo angrily threw his phone at the wall and his books on the floor. He then got changed and prepared for class.

He had barely stepped out the door when someone threw a book at him, hard and then slapped him in the face. Startled and angry he looked into the eyes of a clearly upset Jessica.

"What the hell was that for?" He asked her angrily.

"That was for what you did to Rey yesterday. She hardly slept last night because of you! She cried all night which in turn upset Satine so neither of them are feeling well this morning. In fact I tried to tell Rey not to come to class this morning but she insisted because she wants to get a good mark on the short story assignment. I hope your proud of yourself."

"Rey brought this situation on herself but I do feel bad she got no sleep. Perhaps I could after Satine this afternoon so she can get some rest? It's the least I could do."

"The least you could do is apologize! And until you do that and mean it, you can forget going anywhere near Satine. I'll be watching her this afternoon with Finn while we work on our project. Rey's going to relax in the dorm working on hers, maybe you could volunteer to help and apologize at the same time?"

"Perhaps I will go and help her out this afternoon, no guarantees on how things go though. She did lie to me you know, even if she thought she was justified. I do admire your concern for your friend though Jessica. But don't forget I'm your friend too. Try to see things from my perspective."

Jessica was about to reply when Finn came flying out of nowhere and punched Kylo in the face.

"That's for hurting Rey you big jerk. I hope she never forgives you what you did yesterday. He then grabbed Jessica's hand. Let's go, you don't want to hang around this asshole." With a glare in Kylo's direction Finn and Jessica walked off.

Hux and Phasma who had heard the commotion came over to check on their friend.

"Whoa! Hux whistled after seeing Kylo's face. He probably punched you a good one. I'm assuming you deserved it?"

"I MAY have deserved it, but I wasn't expecting it that's for sure. I'll get him back for that some day."

Phasma sighed at Kylo's immaturity. "Did you ever think that it's your immaturity that got you punched in the first place? Handle the situation like a man Kylo, we are NOT in high school anymore. Focus on your future which you can only have if you focus HERE!"

Then she turned on her sneakers and walked off to class without another word.

"You know I like you Kylo, and I have your back as a friend, but I think Phasma's right. Be a man and focus on getting started on your singing career. The rest you can figure out later."

He slapped his friend on the shoulder before hurrying off to class himself.

After stopping in the washroom to check his face, which was going to bruise later. Kylo steeled himself mentally and with his head held high hurried to class.

To Be Continued....

A/N- Another slightly tense chapter. But things should start getting better soon, I have a fun chapter planned next. It will also skip ahead a few days.

And yes we will be seeing Leia at some point. Someone has to keep that son of hers in line and she's the one to do it.

Kylo received lots of good advice this chapter. Whether he'll follow it or not remains to be seen.

A huge thanks goes out to BlueButterfly96 and Reylo_is_My_Halo for their suggestions for this chapter. I tried to incorporate as many of them as I could. The ones I didn't I will use in future chapters. And I promise Finn is going to ask Jessica out, I just want to do it at the right moment. Stay patient!
