Rey sat watching Finn talking to Poe and Leia in the briefing room. Ever since she shut the Falcon's door in Kylo's face, she had begun to appreciate Finn more. Here was a man whom she knew loved her - she could feel it every time he hugged her. She knew it from his heartfelt confession to her on Takodana. She knew it when he brought Han and Chewie to rescue her from Starkiller Base. She knew it by his tight hug when she rescued the Resistance on Crait. He loved her. She was sure of it. But did she love him back? She was also sure of that. The whole time the Resistance was fleeing the First Order before Crait, it seemed that Finn was the only person on her mind during the times in-between her Force-connections with Ben.
But Ben, he was a whole different story. She had hated him for killing Han up until only recently. But as she got to know him better, that began to change. Originally she, like Luke, had thought he was completely lost to the Dark Side, but now she realized he had the potential to turn, which gave her the motivation to try to turn him, against Luke's better judgment. She still wasn't quite sure how she felt about him, especially after the Battle of Crait. He had offered for her to join him, which she declined because she was not interested in ruling the galaxy, and she had promised Luke that she wouldn't turn. She had to leave Ben to his own devices, which made him feel rejected again and triggered another Kylo tantrum on Crait. So she let him tantrum. He had threatened her friends, and that was just not acceptable.
She didn't have to worry about that with Finn. He was a steady and true friend, and she didn't have to worry about where she stood with him. He didn't throw selfish tantrums. His feelings for her were an open book. And he was cute, too. Luke was right. He was a keeper.
She waited until they were all finished talking. "Finn, can I speak with you?"
He looked her way, then hurried over to her. "Sure!"
"Let's go to my quarters, we'll have more privacy there."
She led him back down the corridor to the entrance to her quarters and opened the door. They moved inside.
"Are you hungry? Can I get you anything to eat or drink?" She asked.
"No, thanks, Rey," he answered. He plopped down on the couch and made himself comfortable. She came and sat down next to him. "So, what's on your mind?"
"Well, Finn, there's something I need to tell you, because you are going to find out soon enough anyway, so I may as well be up front about it. I've only told Leia about this, and I'm only telling you because....because of the way we feel about each other. It could complicate things."
Finn seemed suprised and alert. "Well, what is it, Rey?"
"I'm sorry to have to tell you this, but....I'm pregnant."
Finn's eyes registered shock at first, but then sorrow, as he lowered his gaze and couldn't bring himself to look at her. "And it's obviously not mine," he whispered. "And it's recent." She could see he was heartbroken. "Whose is it? Ren's?"
"No," she shook her head.
He couldn't think of anyone else she could have been intimate with recently. "Did you meet someone on the island?" It was the only possibility he could think of.
"Yes....Luke."
She could visibly see his facial muscles droop.
"Oh, Rey!...with an old guy?? Really??" His image of her was totally blown.
"We weren't in love," she assured him. "Just two ships that pass in the night. And now he's dead, and I'm having his baby. That's it. I need your help, Finn. I need your understanding."
"So Skywalker is dead...and you're having his baby...I guess there's no real reason for me to be jealous, is there?"
"Finn, this child is special. He is Force-sensitive. If I have to I'll raise him alone, but I'd rather not."
"What are you asking me?"
She paused and took a deep breath. "Finn, I hope you already know I love you. That would be true even if I wasn't pregnant. I'm asking...if you would be my mate. Will you marry me?"
Finn's head was swimming. This was it, the woman he loved since Day One was finally accepting his offer to "run away" with him. Only he had learned to stop running after the Battle of Crait. However, the person he had wanted to run away with was still here, and she still loved him. And she was in a delicate condition and needed his help. How could he not give it to her? And she was carrying an important child who needed a father. The child of a Jedi Master. The boy needed him.
Finn took Rey into her arms and hugged her tightly."Yes, Rey," he whispered into her ear. "I would be honored to raise this child. Your son is my son."
When they pulled back from the hug, Rey looked into his eyes, and for the first time since they met, their lips locked in a passionate kiss. Yes, she loved this man.
