Rey's POV:

Labor
I wake up to go to the bathroom again!
"Ugh, do you have to sit on my bladder all the time baby." I mutter as I walk to the bathroom.

I get done and walk back to bed, my back starts to hurt, and I feel water trickle down my leg. I stand there in shock, as my mind processes what is happening. Soon my legs take me over to Poe, I shake him awake. He turns over to me, and says
"Hmm"

"Poe, poe. Wake up it's time." I say he sits up fast and changes into a regular outfit and we are walking out the door.
"How far are you?" Poe says as he helps me down the hallway.

"Well I've had some back pain and I'm pretty sure my water broke." I say.

"Okay." He says putting his arm tighter around my waist.

I squirm, staring to feel searing pain. I hold back my voice not wanting to let everyone in the Resistance know I'm in labor.
"Poe it's getting worse." I say grabbing his shirt.

"Hold on were almost there." Poe says.

"I don't know how much farther I can..." I start to say as my knees buckle and Poe catches me.

He picks me up bridal style and walks faster to the infirmary. When we walk in, the nurse sees us and opens the door to let us in. She motions us into a room, and Poe puts me down on the bed. The nurse brings me a gown to put on, Poe helps me as I try my best but fail. I start breathing hard, and the pain turns to sever. I look at Poe as the nurse come back in.
"She seven meters dilated." The nurse says.

"I'll go get Maggie." Another nurse says.

Soon the pain stops, and I relax. Taking deep breaths in and out, but the comfort doesn't last long soon the pains back. Poe holds my hand, trying to comfort me best he can. Soon Maggie comes in easing her hands, before putting on rubber gloves.
"Hi Rey. How are you doing?" She says in a calm tone.

      "Oh just great." I say in between breaths.

      "How far apart are her contractions?" She asks sitting down on a stool.

      "About five minutes apart doctor." The nurse says.

      "Okay. Rey I don't want you to push yet okay." Maggie says.

"Mhmm." I say in a frustrated tone. Squeezing Poe's hand.

Soon the contraction is over, I start to breath and wipe some of the sweat off my forehead. But not more than a few minutes later another one comes, worse than before.
"Two minutes apart." The nurse says

"Yeah, isn't that obvious." I say in a annoyed voice.

"It's fine Rey, she's just doing her job." Poe says.

I breath deeply as the contraction stops.
"Okay Rey, I'm gonna need you to push when I say go. Okay?" I hear Maggie says.

"Poe I'm gonna need you to push Rey's back up when I say go too." She says as I look at Poe.

"Okay." Poe says looking at me as he strokes my head.

A few seconds later I feel a pain, like I'm on fire going through my whole body. I yelp, my body stiffening up, and my back straitening.
"Okay now." Maggie says.

Poe pushes on my shoulders making me sit almost strait up. I shout out in pain, feeling a whole new deal of pain worse than anything I have ever felt.
"Your doing great Rey, I can see the head." Maggie says.

"Come on Rey, you can do it. I know it hurts." I hear Poe say.

I stop trying to catch my breath but the stiffness comes back and I push again. I squeeze Poe's hand, trying to focus the pain into squeezing Poe's hand. Soon the pain gets worse, but then better as I hear a cry. I hear Maggie and the nurse mumbling, and brining in tools and towels. Soon Poe lays me back down. I relax, my eyes starting to tear up from the beautiful cry.
"Okay guys are you ready to meet your new baby boy?" Maggie says standing up.

"Yes." I say as Maggie hands him to me.

I look at him, my eyes tearing up. I look at Poe, who's smiling.
"He's beautiful." I mumble to Poe a tear running down my cheek.

He has little round face, with a brown hair coming out of his head. His eyes open and I see little hazel eyes. As he soon closes them and falls asleep. He grabs onto Poe's finger and Poe chuckles. I look at his features more closely. He has mostly Poe's face, but has my eyes and ears. Soon Maggie takes him, and says something about giving him a check over and giving him his own bed. I don't want to let him go but I trust Maggie. Poe holds my hand and I whispers in my ear.
"I'm so proud of you." He says as I give him a tired smile as sleepiness starts to take over my body.

I feel Poe's hand on my hair. As I slowly fall into a much needed sleep.

•••
I wake up to two people talking, I open my eyes and get worried for a second not knowing where I am. Soon I open my eyes to see Poe talking to Maggie.
"Oh! Rey, your awake how do you feel." Maggie says walking over to me.

"Like crap." I say in a tired raspy voice.

I hear her chuckle as she takes my vitals.
"Well that would make sense." She says.

"Where is he?" I ask

"He's right here." Poe says leaning back.

I take a deep breath as I relax.
"So have you guys thought about what your going to name him?" Maggie says smiling.

"Hmm not really." Poe says smiling at me.

"Well then I'll leave you to it." She says smiling and stepping out of the room.

"John?" I say right away not knowing what to say.

"Too preppy, what about Alex?" Poe says.

"Nah, too rough. Timothy?" I say.

"No, Steve?" Poe says.

"Nah,Beckett?" I say jokingly.

"No way, Ben?" Poe says.

"Umm no way we're not naming him after you know who." I say.

"Oh your right, Wha about James?" Poe says.

"I like it." I say smiling.

"I do too, it matches him." He says.

"So James it is." I say smiling.

"What about middle names?" Poe says.

"Han." I shoot at him right away.

He takes a deep breath and looks at me as I support my statement.
"Please Poe, he was the only father figure I had." I say sting to trail off.

He sighs, looking defeated, but okay with it.
"James Han it is." He says smiling.

"Yay." I say getting tired again.

"You can go back to sleep if you want Rey, I'll be here for James." Poe says.

I nod closing my eyes again, as I drift off to sleep with a smile on my face.
