The Power Inside (Kylo Ren)

Thirty Four

Elle woke up only minutes after she was brought to the medical ward. She immediately apologized to the doctor for being there yet again. Her head was pounding as she sat on an examination table, waiting for the doctor to return. 

"No concussion." he stated as he entered the room. 

"That's good I guess. Can I go?"

"One moment, let me just finish going over the lab results and..." he said before abruptly stopping mid sentence. 

"And? Is something wrong?" she asked. 

He was silent for a while as he re-read her chart, "No, no nothing is wrong."

"So I can go then?"

"Well not exactly. You're pregnant." 

Elle laughed in disbelief, "Yeah right, I can't even get pregnant."

"They ran the results multiple times. You are, in fact, pregnant." he assured. 

Elle sat there in total disbelief. It was physically impossible for her to be pregnant. There hadn't been any monthly indication of fertility ever since an experiment that was performed on her at 15. They injected her with something to prevent her from ever reproducing. 

"That's impossible."

"Look, I know this is shocking but it doesn't change the truth."

"I have to go right now." she said as she grabbed the lab results and ran out of the room.

The doctor called after her but she ignored him. Elle booked it to Dez's room in complete shock. 

A fucking baby...oh gods...Ren.

Elle banged on the door as hard as she could and called out for Dez. She opened the door and Elle rushed inside. 

"Well you're in a hurry." she laughed. 

Elle was trying to catch her breath; she had hidden the paper in her pocket before Dez opened the door. Now she would have to explain both Ren and the supposed pregnancy to her. 

"Hey Elle, feeling better?" Kade asked. 

Elle looked at them both with a look of shock and horror on her face, "I don't even...fuck." 

"Uh, you okay Elle?" Dez inquired, motioning for Kade to leave so the two of them could be alone. 

He nodded and slipped out the door; Dez walked her over to a chair and sat her down.

"Come on, girl. There's no time for secrets." she reminded as she rubbed Elle's back reassuringly. 

"Ren kicked me out and told me he was done using me." 

"He fucking what? Oh no, fuck no." she yelled.

"Keep it down, my head still hurts." Elle pleaded. 

"Oh right, sorry. I'll get TJ and we can start plotting how to end the Commander." 

"No, we can't."

"Why the fuck not? He deserves it." 

Elle sat there and stared at Dez before reluctantly speaking, "I'm...um...I'm pregnant."

Dez jumped back and fell onto the floor; Elle shook her head and ran her hands through her hair. 

"What the fuck am I supposed to do with a baby? Especially Kylo Ren's baby? I don't want it. I'm not meant to be a fucking mother."

"Okay, calm down. We will figure this out." 

Elle handed her the piece of paper with the lab results on it. Dez read it over and over again but it always said the same thing, STATUS: PREGNANT. She sat with her head buried in her hands while Dez tried to figure out what to do. 

"We have to tell TJ." she said. 

"Yeah, I know that. Can we focus on the baby part?"

"Well...You're going to die in a month so what does it matter?"

"Will the child keep growing with Alan using my body?"

"You'll be gone from Ren and free from motherhood. It's the best solution."

"I guess you're right. I should tell Ren."

"No, absolutely fucking not. He doesn't deserve to know." she snapped. 

"Maybe you're right."

"You stay here while I go find TJ. I don't want you walking around after passing out."

"Fine." Elle mumbled. 

Elle knew that she shouldn't tell Ren but something inside of her was begging her to. Even after what he did, he deserves to know. Something came over her and it was like she lost control of her body. She started walking to Ren's room but couldn't stop herself no matter how hard she tried. 

To briefly answer your question, the child will die as soon as you do.

"Great, good to know." she muttered. 

Also, it is possible for you to conceive. The serum they injected you with was experimental, remember. It's effects stopped years ago.

"I hate everything about this." 

Elle stood in front of Ren's door; as she was about to knock, someone grabbed her hand and dragged her away. 

"Oh no you don't. I told you to stay in my room dammit." Dez scolded. 

"How did you..."

TJ cut her off, "We know you, Elle."

She huffed and followed them back to the room. Dez had, thankfully, already filled him in so Elle wouldn't have to keep repeating it. Dez forced Elle into her bed so that she could sleep, which she instantly did.

"What are we going to do?" TJ asked. 

"No idea." Dez responded. 

"A baby? Elle? No way."

"I know, I thought the same thing and so did she. She already told me she's not cut out for motherhood." 

"This is a shit show."

"Okay now back to our other plans." Dez reminded. 

"Oh, right. How should we take him down?" he responded. 

"I think I have an idea."
