Star Wars Imagines

Kylo Ren - Awaiting Universe

"I've wanted this for so long."

"And what exactly is this, my love?" You asked, spinning away from the view of the stars.

Kylo's face lit up. With his twinkling eyes locked with yours, eyebrows raised, and cheeks flushed, it was a rare sight. "You," Kylo answered without hesitation. "You and me. No First Order, no Resistance, just the both of us, and an awaiting universe." Using the hand ghosting the small of your back, he drew you closer to him by a gentle tug on your waist and with the other, he cupped your face.

You instinctively leaned into his touch, nuzzling into his palm. You brought your fingers up the lay them over his. "The three of us," you corrected with a sheepish smile, unable to keep your lips from drawing back.

"The three of us?" Kylo echoed and froze for just a moment. As you nodded in reply, Kylo dropped down to his knees, never breaking your gaze.

You nodded and let out a soft cry when a tear slipped down Kylo's cheek. After swiping it away with your thumb, you took his hand pressed to your face and guided it down to just below your belly button. "She says, Hello."

"She?" he breathed in question, amazement glowing in his earthy irises.

That was the exact moment you felt a Force spark inside of you and call out to the both of you. It flickered wildly into flame, licking over the soft edges of your kind and gentle power and the smooth, black wall of your husband's own. The energy of the unborn child inside of your still-flat stomach radiated hope and light and peace and all things beautiful in the world.

Kylo could feel it, too. "It's a girl." He rested his forehead on your stomach. "I can't explain how I know-"

"But you do," You finished for him.

As your daughter's power pulsed again, Kylo dismantled the walls and barriers surrounding his mind, letting her in and letting him out. Like chilled waves on sun-warmed sand, his reposeful darkness washed over the three of you. Where his darkness met your incandescent faith, everything melted away. And where his darkness met your daughter's scorching purity, steam arose.

"Kenna," Kylo whispered. "Her name is Kenna."

"Born of fire," you agreed, grin sparkling like all the stars in the universe.
