Searching For You

Chapter 26: To The Resistance

Rey's POV:

"To the Resistance '' I announce as I walk into the cockpit. "Are you sure?" Finn asks as he looks me over. I can't help but giggle a little at his expression knowing he hasn't seen me fully display my bump yet. "I understand Poe is not going to change his mind anytime soon." I sigh at the statement, I know he is right. "We are going there to drop you and Chewie off. After that, I will find a place to stay with Ben." I explain. "What are you going to do if he asks you to come to fight with us again?" Finn asks with a tone of concern. "I will discuss it with Ben when we get there. However, right now, I don't see any point in joining you guys in another war. The Resistance hasn't had any need for a Jedi's help. On top of that, he shouldn't have told me that I am not welcomed back as long as I am with Ben, maybe then I wouldn't be holding this slight grudge I have against him right now." I huff as I drop into a seat with my arms crossed. Finn laughs at me and says, "Stop throwing a tantrum and go hang with your boy toy. I know he helps you feel better, plus I know you too have missed each other in certain ways. Now get, before I have Chewie here throw you out." Finn retorts and Chewie lets out a deep growl in agreement. My jaw drops open as Finn starts counting backward from five as if I am a toddler in need of punishment. "But, I..." "Two." "Fine," I say, throwing my arms up as I leave the room.

I arrived at my room to see Ben curled up on the new full-size mattress I somehow managed to squeeze into the tiny space. Does the mattress take up almost the entire space? Absolutely! I don't care though since I don't spend much of my time in this room anyway. When I look closer I notice that Ben is already fast asleep. I let out a little giggle as I curled up next to him. He rolls over and pulls me close to him, sensing that I was there. I let our breaths synchronize and fall asleep as I let Ben's presence to melt all my anxieties away.
