Enervating Beauty (Kylo Ren x Reader)

Chapter 30- Epilogue

Four Years Later

     "Daddy, Daddy!" Falcon exclaimed, running ahead of me to go see Ben. His little legs went as fast as they could carry him to go see his father.

     "Honey, what have I told you about running! Careful please," I yelled out after him.

     Ben scooped him up quick and tickled his little belly, sending Falcon into fits of laughter. In response, Ben started laughing himself, Falcon's giggles infectious. I smiled adoringly from across the room at the two positioned at the front door.

     "Good morning handsome," I called to Ben as he came into the kitchen with Falcon resting on his hip. He kissed me gently as I finished cleaning up our dishes from this morning.

     "How're you?" Ben asked, sitting down with Falcon atop his lap. He had been traveling all through the night and I knew he was tired, but he was still so dedicated to being a part of the family. We now lived very comfortably with Ben's help, and he only had to leave once a month to take care of things. Unfortunately, he did have to travel for his job, but he was always back before we knew it.

     "I'm good. Falcon ate all his breakfast which was nice. Maybe a lesson could be fit in today as a reward?" I suggested. Falcon's eyes lit up as he stared up adoringly at his father hoping he'd say yes.

     "Yes, I suppose we can make time for it," Ben said as if it was even a question. Falcon squealed and clapped his tiny hands together in excitement.

     Falcon was a clone of his father, the same mop of black hair falling over his forehead and hazel eyes. Little freckles scattered across his nose and cheeks, and the same exact giggle.

     For having birthed him, it seemed like there was hardly any traces of me in how he looked. Except for the Force being instilled in him since he was an infant.

     His Jedi potential...was simply unfathomable.

     He was even more talented than Ben was at his age, the potential in his young self practically spilling over. We taught him only very small lessons because of his age and tried to be conscientious of not wearing him out too young. But Ben was just so excited, he wanted nothing more than our son to be the prodigy he couldn't be. I had no doubt that we would start being visited by Force ghosts soon to aid in Falcon's training.

     I saw Ben try to secretly yawn and rub his eyes so Falcon wouldn't see but I knew how tired he was, he had been up all night.

     "Why don't we go see your Aunt Kat and Uncle Atlas first though honey?" I suggested to Falcon. I knew this would give Ben some time to get a little bit of sleep in.

     "Okay Mommy!" he answered happily. He hopped down off his father and came over to me, grabbing my hand with his own little one. I waved bye to Ben and watched as he went off to our bedroom before we were even out the door.

     We walked along the lengthy path over to Atlas' cottage.

     After three years of helping in the Resistance, Atlas and Kateryna were ready to settle down with a home of their own. So last year, when Atlas and I had our yearly transmission call, I convinced him to come live by us. Raising Falcon alone here for the first few years was nice, and the quiet was amazing after nonstop chaos from the worlds Ben and I both came from. But after a while, it just became so lonely. Maz visited when she was around, and Falcon just adored her but having one visitor every few months wasn't enough. And I wanted more than anything for our son to know the people I cared about so greatly.

     So, they moved in a year ago about a half mile from us and the rest was history. I eventually got used to Kat. She was really sweet and loved Atlas immensely, so it was only fair of me to give her a chance. And boy was I glad I did. She'd become my closest friend and Falcon truly enjoyed spending time with them.
