The Tipping Point (Kylo Ren X Reader)

Confuse

Your mouth hung agape in shock. The familiar face of your trusted warrior stared back at you. 

"Lenna," you gasped.

You gripped Kylo's arm to steady yourself as you took in her changed state. The once skinny woman now stood with her weight on her heels, leaning back to support the size of her large stomach. She was very obviously pregnant and looked as if she could pop at any moment. 

Kylo was the one to break the awkward silence. "You never told me she was pregnant," he muttered.

You shifted your weight uncomfortably as you focused on keeping your thoughts clear. "It must have slipped my mind. We have been a little busy if you hadn't noticed."

"Wow, she's like really pregnant," he commented as he continued to stare at Lenna's stomach.

You wondered if Kylo had ever seen a pregnant woman before. "Yes, Kylo. That is in fact what happens before a woman has a child," you rolled your eyes before nudging him out of his daze.

"I know that," he retorted.

"So we aren't killing this one," Phasma interrupted your surprised state with her question.

"No!" You and Kylo both answered in unison.

"Well we need to keep moving," Phasma replied crossly.

"You all go ahead. I just need a second," you stared at Lenna, still in shock.

Phasma nodded and motioned for her troops to continue. As they marched away Kylo turned to face you grabbing your wrists and pulling you towards him. 

"What aren't you telling me," he whispered menacingly.

You took in a sharp breath of surprise at his aggressive move. You pasted a look of confusion over your face. "What do you mean?"

"You're thoughts are incredibly loud, except they aren't actual thoughts it's just white noise. It's like you're trying to shield your thoughts from me. What are you hiding?" 

His tone was demanding and his grip was cutting off the circulation to your wrists. You shuffled uncomfortably, trying to come up with a plausible response. You did your best to calm the raging storm in your brain, leaving it blank and quiet.

"I didn't know I was doing that, Kylo. I'm just so... shocked. Of all the things I anticipated happening today, this was not one of them."

"Umm I can come back later if I need to," Lenna interrupted awkwardly.

"No need," Kylo let go of your wrists, apparently satisfied with your answer. He went to stomp away but as he passed Lenna she placed a hand on his chest, stopping him in his tracks.

"Don't think that because I'm pregnant I won't still kick your ass," she threatened him. "If you ever disrespect her again, I don't care where you run and hide, I will find you."

Kylo went to argue with her but bit back his retort when he saw her hand on the knife sheathed at her side. He nodded and marched away, moving quickly to catch up with Phasma. 

"It really is you," you exclaimed.

"In the flesh," she replied while smiling widely. 

"What are you doing on Corellia?"

"I never went back to Malachor, per your request. I stayed in Tattoine for a little bit and then got caught up in their slave trade. At that time I wasn't yet obviously pregnant so the First Order officials thought I would be more than fit to work here on Corellia. They were pretty unhappy when they found out I was pregnant but allowed me to stay and provided food for me."
