A few weeks later…

'Can you top me off Leia?' Ben asked shaking his coffee mug lightly in his hand.

'Of course.' Leia said with a gently smile.

'I'm just going to powder my nose.' Rey said meaningfully as she slid out of the diner booth.

Leia came up to Ben's table and poured his coffee.

'Leia? You remember you told me about that decision that you regretted?'

'Yes.' Leia said absentmindedly.

'I think I know.' Ben said.

Leia stilled, 'What?'

'I think I know what the decision was that you regret.'

Leia swallowed hard.

'You had a son didn't you?'

Leia slid into the seat opposite Ben.

'I did.' She confirmed.

'Your family weren't happy with you having a child out of wedlock with a man they didn't approve of were they?'

'They just didn't understand Han like I did!' Leia blurted out before realising what she had done.

'So you gave the child up?' Ben coaxed.

'I did. Han and I could not be together and we thought it was for the best, but it was the worst decision I ever made. I tried so many times to find him but it was too late. They said it was a closed adoption and there was nothing they could do.'

'Did you name him?'

'I didn't. I never even gave him that much. I couldn't face letting him go, so Han took care of it.' Leia said with tears in her eyes.

'So Han was the one who took the baby to the home?'

'Yes. I couldn't face it.'

'Did you know Han's full name?' Ben asked gently.

Leia shook her head, 'Han went by many aliases. He was always in trouble with the law. That's why he travelled around so much and that's why we couldn't be together though we loved each other deeply.'

'Han's surname was Solo.' Ben said.

Leia's eyes widened.

'Han told the staff at the home that your boy was called Ben. That boy later found out that his rightful surname was Solo.' Ben said looking into Leia's eyes.

Leia's lip wobbled and her eyes filled with tears.

'Is it true?' She whispered.

'It is. Leia, I'm your son.'

Leia sobbed then and grasped Ben's hands with her own.

'My boy!' She said between tears.

Rey reappeared and came to stand behind Ben placing her hands on his shoulders. She looked down at Leia with a watery smile.

'Did you ask her yet?' Leia asked.

'Not yet.' Ben smiled.

Leia looked at Rey and then at Ben questioningly.

'Leia, we're getting married and I wanted to ask if you would give me away? It might sound silly but I've always wanted to know where I came from and…'

'Of course I will.' Leia answered, cutting Ben off and squeezing his reassuringly hands.

Ben smiled at her.

'Okay!' Rey said cheerfully clapping her hands.

'Now that's sorted let's get down to the important business of planning this wedding!'

'You can have whatever you want, my Princess.' Ben said.

Leia smiled, 'Han used to call me that.'

'I'm going to try and find him Leia.' Ben said firmly.

Leia nodded, 'He's a difficult man to find, but I'll help you as much as I can. I can't believe you found your way back to me.'

'With a little help.' Ben said, taking Rey's hand and placing a kiss upon it.

Two months later...

'Waiting?' Finn asked incredulously.

'Yes.' Ben replied, 'We talked about it, and we both decided it would be extra special to wait until the wedding night.'

'Well if that's what you two want to do. Jesus Ben, are your balls not blue though?'

Ben laughed out loud as he went through Finn's business accounts.

'Abstaining from sex Finn, not from all sexual activity.' He said not taking his eyes off the papers in front of him.

Finn grinned conspiratorially, 'And on that note, I'm goina haul my ass off to work. See you later, boss.'

'Finn I've told you a hundred times, I'm not your boss, I'm your partner.'

'Right, sorry. See you later, partner. Hey! It's kinda like we're in a western! Yeehaw!'

Ben laughed again and returned to his work. If he was being truthful the pact had seemed like a good idea when he and Rey had originally agreed upon it. Sort of romantic...but the actual logistics of staying the course were more difficult than he had anticipated. Rey was his. Completely his. The most beautiful woman he had ever seen belonged to him. A woman who could anticipate what he needed before he even knew himself. It was incredibly intoxicating. Many cold showers were necessary for him keep his libido in check.

Thank god they hadn't decided to avoid all sexual activity. His mind was momentarily distracted by thoughts of Rey. She was truly breathtaking naked. All fluid curves and gently muscles and she certainly knew her way around his body…

'Shit.' He said out loud as he realised how turned on he was getting just thinking about her.

'Get back to your work lovestruck fool.' He said to the empty room.

'I think it's romantic.' Rose said to Rey as she served a table their bacon and eggs.

'I thought so too, but it's proving a little harder than I realised it would be.'

'Where's your willpower?' Rose joked.

'You haven't seen that boy naked.' Rey said, fanning herself.

Rose laughed.

'There's something I've been meaning to ask you Rose.'

'Yes?'

'Will you be my maid of honour?'

'Bout time you asked.' Rose said with a smile.

'Is that a yes?'

'It's a definitely.'

Rey knew there were parts of her wedding day she would never forget. Like Rose and Leia wiping away their tears of joy. Little Star's serious face as she held up the cushion housing the all important gold bands, Warren telling Ben shyly that he would have picked him to be his father even if he had the choice of any dad in the whole world...but the thing she would remember the most was the look on Ben's face as she walked down the aisle towards him in the small town chapel. That look of pure love and devotion in his eyes almost floored her, but she carried on down the narrow aisle until she reached his side.

The reception brought more wonderful memories as nearly everyone in town came to toast the happy couple. Ben's family were missing of course, except for Leia who made up for their absence by fawning and fluttering around the happy couple all day. Rey was happy to see Ben and Leia slowly forming a bond that she hoped would only grow stronger and stronger.

Soon the evening turned into night and Ben and Rey nervously waved off the last of their guests. Leia bundled a very tired Star and Warren into a taxi and blew Rey and Ben a kiss as they pulled away.

Rey shyly took Ben's hand as they looked at each other.

'So…' She said trailing off.

'So…' He said mirroring her.

Then their lips crashed together and they stumbled and kissed their way quickly up to their hotel room.

Later that evening…

Rey and Ben lay in the only hotel in towns honeymoon suite. Naked and perspiring, Rey arched again as Ben pressed forward once more, his eyelids fluttering closed in ecstasy as he did so.

'God Rey.' He groaned.

Rey pulled his head down to press a hard kiss against his lips.

'Take all of me.' She murmured against his mouth.

Ben moved again and Rey moaned in approval, locking her thighs against his.

'Yes...yes…' she breathed as she reached climax, allowing the feeling of delicious weightlessness to coast through her glowing body.

Ben groaned as his release shook through him, momentarily stilling his movements, before falling forward and burying his face in Rey's hair.

Rey smiled and hugged him to her.

'Worth the wait?' She whispered into his ear.

'Worth the wait.' Ben replied.

In the morning they woke content and sore in each other's arms.

'I never in a million years would have thought that this was how my life would have turned out.' Rey said.

'Me neither.' Ben replied.

'If you could go back, and stop yourself from losing your memory. Would you do it?' She asked.

'No, because losing my memory led me to you.'

'I wish I had never lied to you.' Rey said sadly.

'If you hadn't, I would never have gotten to know you and I would have never fallen in love with you. I see now that was the only way.'

'Will you miss your old life?'

'Maybe some parts of it, but on the whole no, because that isn't me anymore. That was someone else. Someone bitter and twisted and cruel.'

'You were never any of those things. He just made you believe that his traits existing within you and after a while, you were so confused you didn't know what to believe anymore.'

'No one has ever known me as you do, Rey.'

'Good.' She replied making Ben grin.

'We have three hours before we have to collect the kids.' Rey said glancing at the clock.

'Actually we have a little longer than that. We're going on a surprise honeymoon. We fly to Paris this afternoon.'

'Are you serious?' Rey exclaimed.

'Yup. Now, maybe you want to do something special for your husband to say thank you?'

Rey grinned and kissed Ben.

'I wonder what you have in mind?' She teased.

'Mmmm...I might have some ideas…' Ben said positioning himself over Rey and kissing her once more.

'I don't know what I could give you that you can't buy for yourself moneybags!' Rey said playfully.

Ben leaned down and kissed her gently then moved his lips to her ear,

'How about a baby?'

The End.
