Well, yes. I had anticipated a lot of strange things to come out of our barely-working relationship, but I really hadn't expected you to use 'the power of love' to get me my connection to the Force back. Or to marry me off. This is why you shouldn't mix marathoning Disney movies and RPing, I suppose.

Not - not that I'm objecting. I can't fathom anything better that could happen to me, actually, even if I'm sure Master Skywalker is going to have... objections. [Ben's not looking forward to that particular conversation.] I just - I know you barely ever listen to me but please don't give me children or anything of that ilk. I really don't know what your fascination there is, but I have no idea how to be a father. I have a list of things not to do as learned over the years from Master Skywalker and Snoke, and a list like that is functionally worthless since I can hardly reverse engineer that into a list of things to do.

Also, in case had escaped your notice, the galaxy is at war at the moment. [He's inherited both his parent's snark, it seems.] Talk of the future is a bit premature.

...and I like Soyol best off of that ridiculous baby name list of yours.

Maybe he doesn't know how to talk to you? The only way you'll find out is if you two sit down and talk.

[Maybe Han feels so much guilt over leaving him constantly? Maybe there was more to the man than Ben knew. Either way, they need to sit down and have that talk. Maybe it's something to talk to General Organa about. The two Solo men need to have a talk before they drift further apart.

Rey withdraws into herself, for a moment, taking comfort in Ben's presence while trying to ignore the fragments of emotions and memories tied to Vaner. For a woman who grew up with nothing, finding out about a past life that included a family, it was a lot to take in so quickly. It was thrust upon her, and she can't help but wonder if they really did right by their child. If they were able to raise him from a child to an adult without leaving him behind somewhere.]

...you really want a family with me, don't you. [She whispered with a half smile on her face.] This is the most we've talked about our future--one that doesn't involve what happens if who gets shot at first. [A bit of humor, trying to make light of a conversation that had a lot to do with their past lives.]

Neither of us is getting shot, Rey, [he told her firmly, mostly to try to convince himself, because he couldn't bear the thought of that right now.] We're going to end this war, and then... well, then we have a life ahead of us to live. Together, with or without kids. You're already so much more to me than just someone I'm romantically involved with. You brought me back to the Light Side. If you can pull off that kind of miracle, defeating the First Order is hardly that much more unlikely.

There's a whole galaxy out there for us to explore, to see, and someday to settle down in. I don't care where we go or what we do. I just need you to be with me.

[Rey couldn't help but roll her eyes at him. Okay, he couldn't take that kind of a joke. However...he still looked when he was being firm with her.]

..I wouldn't call it a miracle, just...a lot of hard work. [She's being more than modest then, a bit bashful, because praise is still, exciting, and weird to her. It wasn't so much a miracle to get him to come back to the Light side, but...love certainly had a hand in it. Regardless, they were going to have a life together; with or without children, or traveling the galaxy until old age.

Rey tilted her head up to look at him and placed a kiss to his cheek.] I'll be with you. Told you, I'm not letting you go, Ben/
