Surrendered

Chapter Twenty Eight : Pain

Chapter Twenty-Seven

The next day I followed Kylo to all of his meetings with his generals, we figured the movement would help me to speed up the onset of labour. Most of the generals behaved like I wasn't there until Hux, his was the last meeting of the day and he was enraged that I was there again.

"Ren I would really prefer if you'd leave your wife at home like everyone else manages to." He spat staring at me with utter disgust.

"Hux will you do us all a favour and finally get laid so you can pull that massive stick out of your arse." I roared back, flying up to reach his gaze when I heard a pop and a rush of wet between my legs.

"Fuck." I breathed as I watched the growing pool of water.

"Oh god." Hux went a shade of green and looked like he was about to vomit. "Get her out of my office now" He roared.

"Don't shout at her." Kylo screamed at him. "Are you alright?" He rushed over to me eyeing me up worried.

"I'm fine, but this baby is finally ready to come into the world" I smiled.

Kylo wrapped his arm around my back and helped me away from the table, he pulled off my damp cloak throwing it to the ground and replaced it with his own.

"Aren't you going to clean this mess up?" Hux spluttered, turning a vivid shade of white, the man looked like he was either going to throw up or pass out.

"Oh fuck off Hux." I snarled before Kylo led me away to the med bay.

The medical staff stood in shock at the sight of us arriving before my Doctor jumped into action asking for Kylo to help me on the bed.

"Little one finally wants to arrive then?" She smiled pulling the cloak off my back. "Do you mind pulling your dress up?"

The one day I go into labour of course I had to wear a dress, I pulled it up feeling slightly embarrassed at my state of undress. The doctor could see my unease and replaced it with a blanket, tucking it under my stomach and got out her machine to hear the heartbeat.

"It's nice and strong, the baby is in no distress. Can I check you?" She asked.

I nodded anxiously reaching for Kylos hand and pulling him close to me as I felt an uncomfortable pressure as she checked me.

"Ah yes not quite ready for the delivery suite just yet, you can stay here although you may progress better in your own quarters." She wrote down some observations in her data pad.

"How will I know when I'm ready?" I asked.

"Oh you'll know, you'll be screaming for the drugs."

I gulped, I knew I was strong but suddenly I felt as a weak as a kitten and I didn't know if I could do this.

"I'd like to go home." She nodded and Kylo helped me off the bed.

"You can do this, you give yourself a lot less credit than you deserve." His mask rasped whilst he led me back to our quarters.

I nodded weakly, not wanting to argue with him, he stopped me and stepped in front of me leaning down so I was in line with his visor.

"You are the strongest person I know, you can do this." He gripped either side of my shoulders. "No other person could put up with me as their husband let alone carry their child."

I nodded. "That's right, not many people could put up with your bullshit."

Once we got back to our quarters I decided to try and get some sleep whilst I still could, I could feel that it was about to turn into a long day for me.

When I awoke, I was surprised to find Ushar sprawled on the sofa watching the halopad, I blushed and folded my arms over my breasts in my night dress.

"Where's Kylo?" I asked as he quickly swang his legs off to sit up and look up at me.

"Sorry Lady Ren, I thought you were still asleep."

"Clearly" I sighed, going into the fresher and pulling a dressing gown over my shoulders a wave of pain shot up my back and I gripped the sink for support. "Fuck" I gritted my teeth and breathed through the pain.

Ushar appeared at the door frame. "Are you alright Miss?"

I nodded trying to focus on my breathing as I arched my back and closed my eyes, I dreaded that this was only going to get so much worse.

"Where is he?" I asked through gritted teeth.

"He's with the prisoner."

"Really?" I was furious. "His wife is about to give birth to his first born and he leaves to interrogate a prisoner?"

Ushar stood in the doorway awkwardly shifting his weight, he didn't want to badmouth his master but I knew that he agreed to be with me. We stayed in our places for a minute until the pain washed away from me, I straightened back up and gestured for Ushar to leave me. I had a shower in peace and enjoyed the hot water on my aching back, I couldn't believe it could be my last few hours with the bump. Weirdly I thought I may miss it, although cumbersome I would miss being so close to our child and being able to protect her.

I dried and braided my hair and changed into what used to be a loose-fitting dress but it clung at my huge stomach. Ushar was pacing outside when I entered the room.

"Are you okay?" He was concerned.

"Ushar I appreciate this is as awkward and weird for you as it is for me but stop asking that." I smiled placing my hand on his arm, and he flinched. "Sorry." I pulled my arm back quickly.

"Just habit, Ren has told us not to touch you, you are his."

I rolled my eyes, if only he could be more possessive in person right now.

"I hope that he gives you extra time to visit the brothel for this, I don't think midwife duties are part of your job role."

"No Miss." He smiled. "Kuruk is outside, he's worried you'll give birth in front of him"

"Sadly I think we are hours from that just yet" I sighed as I felt another pull of pain across my muscles, I breathed deeply moving to clutch the back of the sofa.

"Another one?" Ushar was about to jump out of his skin, I nodded and let out a weird groan.

"This is fucking awful" I gritted my teeth. "Why does the order need an heir anyway?"

--

The hours went by and the pains intensified, Ushar repeatedly asked if I wanted to go to medbay but stopped asking after I used the force to throw a glass bowl at his head which he managed to dodge in the nick of time.

"When-is-he-coming-back" I grunted through the last pain, it was too much for me I couldn't cope for much longer.

'He's with Supreme Leader Snoke" Ushar replied as frustrated as I was. "I don't want to ask again but do you need medbay?"

I nodded weakly, anxiety flooding over me that I could be having my baby without my husband's support.

"I'll go and get Kuruk." Ushar went whilst I slowly edged towards the dressing area and threw my cloak over me.

"Lady Ren." Kuruk nodded as he entered the room hesitantly.

"Can you walk?" Ushar asked worried.

I shook my head, and he awkwardly weighed up his options.

"Just carry me please." I said weakly.

He nodded and braced to take my weight, taking me away to the med bay.
