Chapter Text
Master Snoke ordered for a meeting between him and the Knight of Ren, Kylo Ren. He seemed anxious, yet smug at the same time. Kylo tried to block out his moment of weakness with the scavenger girl from his master, but as Snoke likes to point out multiple times, he is weak just like his father, Han. Hopefully whatever punishment he will be receiving will be quick, but no Kylo deserves to be punished, he allowed for the girl to escape without gaining any real information on the whereabouts of Skywalker. He failed his job, and for that he needs discipline. Something he is obviously lacking.
Kylo enters the meeting with a clear mind, he didn’t want to bring up the girl if he did not have to. She is merely a weakness he needs to dispose of. Nothing special.
“Master, you requested my presence.” Kylo says bowing to Snoke.
“Yes boy I did. The force spoke to me and gave me good news. Do you already know the news?” Snoke asks, but Snoke does not truly ever ask questions. He orders. This is a test of the force.
“No Master, I do not know of the news. Force has not called to me yet on any pressing matters.” Kylo says getting up from his bow. He has shown his respect, no he wants to finish the meeting as soon as possible.
“You’re going to be a father, boy. You bred the scavenger.” Snoke exclaims. Kylo has never seen his master this happy before. Snoke obviously has ulterior motives with telling him the news of his impending fatherhood.
“The child will be strong with the force, maybe even stronger than both you and the scavenger combine. We cannot have that magnitude of power falling in the hands of the resistance. You know what you must do, boy. I expect the scavenger on board of the Finalizer soon. You may be dismissed.” Snoke says. With a wave of his hands Snoke vanishes, leaving Kylo in the room by himself to reflect on the news of him being a father.
Kylo is now even more torn, he cannot allow his future child to suffer the same fate he has at the hands of Snoke. His parents may not have loved him, but that does not mean that he can just abandon his child like Han and Leia did. But the real problem is, does Rey know?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rey knew something was amiss, when she boarded the unauthorized ship Kylo was able to give her. She just couldn’t put her finger on what was wrong with her, it was not a feeling of forewarning, but she just felt an extra era of light surrounding her. Rey chooses to ignore it and blame it on her newly made connection to the force.
She chooses to focus on her new force abilities, and get Kylo Ren out of her head. It was a moment of weakness and wanting to belong, it will never happen again. She is with resistance and he is with Snoke. They can never be together; he is a creature hiding behind a mask of shame. May be if things were different they could be together, maybe if it was him who found her on Jakku, not BB-8, they could’ve been together. But she will never regret the newly formed relationships she has created. She has met Finn, Poe, Han, Chewie, and Leia. They have forged a bond of respect and friendship that she will never give up. She has gone from being abandoned to being wanted and mutually loved and cared for.
But there is still a little part of her that yearns for the dark man in the mask that casts a dark shadow in her dreams. She may not be able to have him in her life, but at least she can have him in her dreams. That is enough for now. And she accepts that, no matter how much it truly hurts. She has other duties she must fulfill.
For now, she has to fight for the resistance, put her feelings for the dark man aside. Her allegiance to the light side comes first.
