Cheurien Hux - OC - Daughter of General Hux 

[cheurienhux]

ooc; I’m in a mental health class and I keep looking at pictures of this cute child so... class successful?

A mistake had happened. The academy had somehow given the sperm of some cadets to donation a bit over decade ago, from an experimental study. The now General Hux had been one of those cadets, and the academy officials from that same study were stressed to reach out to him. A message was perhaps a safer option than a holo call. The General must be busy too!

“General Hux, the First Order Academy is regretful to inform you a sample of your sperm from the study [ xxx ] has by accident resulted in an offspring.” 

The message went straight to the business. 

“A girl from Serenno reached out to the providing clinic, which was linked back to us. We will wait for your orders how to deal with this delicate situation.”

[first-order-general]

<<By ACCIDENT??>> the message was perhaps a little angrier that was strictly necessary. He couldn’t how this could possibly be an accident. Not that he didn’t want children. Just– not now. And not alone. He sighed, trying to decide what response to give. He wouldn’t want to terminate it, he did want a child. And besides, the First Order needed whatever they could get. <<Give me the address of the clinic. I will deal with it>> He’d get up, find his greatcoat, and stalk quickly towards the shuttle, barking orders into his comm to get the transport ready.

[cheurienhux]

The clinic gave the general the address. The workers there were nervous, not knowing what to expect. They had a lot of work to do but this one thing made them forget everything else.

The boss of the clinic was there waiting for General Hux when he arrived. "Welcome to our clinic, Mr Hux." He said carefully. "Please come to my office..." He lead him inside, hoping he wouldn't be embarrassed publicly.

Meanwhile Cheurien was at the clinic again, waiting for her meeting. She had come to demand answers, since others always got them so fast but for her they some reason they didn't tell anything.

Then the main doctor and a tall ginger man walked by and she looked at the curiously.

The boss was horrified the child was there NOW.

Fortunately, Hux was called to a spontaneous meeting after his escape. Throwing himself into his work had always centered him. He felt fine until he was alone in his quarters after the reports he’d finished, after his shift had ended. Not knowing what to think about the situation or process how he felt, he indulged in an evening of curled miserably in a corner of his rooms.

Initially, he decided the best course of action was to move forward as normal. After several sleepless nights, he realized he could not ignore what had happened. The stress and distraction prevented him from functioning efficiently.

He answered the call in his quarters, uncertain what he should do. Letting his fingers run nervously through his hair, he managed a crooked smile. “Yes… She’s probably been pestering you.” His grin widened. “Darya I… I trust your judgment. You don’t have to give in to keep her happy, you could blame it on me.”

[cheurienhux]

“She has made sure I won’t forget… But I do feel this is the right thing to do. She’s old enough to decide for herself if she wants to have a relationship with you.” Darya smiled, happy to see the man she loved smiling too. “I wanted to apologize for my decision, I’m sure it has affected you greatly. I just did what I thought was the be-..”

“Mom, is that dad you’re talking with? Finally!”

“Uri, you came already?”

“Yes, Mr. Bron had just connected all the wrong wires, nothing harder than that. Anyway, when are we meeting dad?” She was excited, and already calling him her dad even though she didn’t really know him. “Hello!” her head poked into the holo view.“

“When it suits him. What do you say, Armitage?”

[first-order-of-hux]

Hux rubbed his forehead, feeling slightly relieved the decision had been taken from him. He could not say no to Uri. Figuring this situation out might take some time, but he justified it by thinking he’d get far more work done in the long term if he wasn’t distracted. 

“Hello,” he greeted, giving a small wave. “Yes, I’ll come to you. Depending on your schedule of course…” His schedule didn’t matter, it was always busy and filled with important meetings deadlines. 

[cheurienhux]

"How about next week's second day? Would you like to meet here on Serenno or do you want us to come somewhere else?"

[first-order-of-hux]

"When it suits him. What do you say, Armitage?"

[first-order-of-hux]

He nodded, debating whether he’d rather have the conversation or create a crisis he needed to stay late and solve. 

A grimace crossed his face. “It was my fault they were in danger in the first place. She did rescue me… twice actually, but she would have been far safer if I hadn’t been there.” Safer still if she hadn’t been there either. 

Not knowing what to say about the ring, he felt relief when the lift stopped and he could change the subject. “Here we are…”

[cheurienhux]

Darya saw it was difficult for Hux so she didn’t push it. She walked out and saw the kids sitting together. “Hello, Miss Eilbur.” The others greeted her but Cheurien didn’t. She just glared at him. Darya sighed.

“Uri…”

“You lied to me. You told me I didn’t have a father. That he was gone.” She accused. “You didn’t even tell him right? How could you do that?”

“Your father had more important things to worry about than a family.” Darya said and Uri looked at him. What could be more important than family. Work? “I thought not having a father at all was better than having a father you’d know you can’t meet and be with.”

At least she was honest now…

[first-order-of-hux]

Hux remained out of the way, clenching his hands behind his back. His expression remained cool despite his anger at the woman’s explanation. Some children were better off never knowing their parents, Hux himself probably would have navigated through life fine without his own father. But Darya’s assessment of him did not seem fair.

Nothing came before his service to the Order, but officers were allowed to have families, and there were other ways he could contribute to raising a child even if they weren’t together. He was not given a chance.

Maybe it wasn’t about his ability to provide support, or even about the demands of his career. Darya had known him well, and she’d decided Cheurien would be better off without his presence. She might be right. Hux never had a good example of parenting. He held high expectations for those around him and he felt in the edge of anger more often than not.

In the brief time he’d known the girl, he’d taken advantage of her generosity and endangered her life twice. Uri likely was better without him…

[cheurienhux]

“I don’t approve that decision, mother. I want to know him.” She said angrily, not understanding why she’d choose something like that for her. Darya nodded, and reached out to her. “We can talk about that but not now, we have to go.” Perhaps Armitage would agree to a meeting. She knew he was probably hurt over this, that she’d keep a child from him. She knew his past, she knew he had once told her he was interested in a family.

“No, I’m not coming. I want to stay here. With him.”

“No.”

“I’m not taking a no for answer.”

Darya sighed and looked at Armitage. “Would you be open to… Seeing us again? Seeing her?”

[first-order-of-hux]

Hux blinked, surprised by the question. No doubt Darya would say anything to get Cheurien to return with her. She wasn’t wrong. Most children Uri’s age, and younger, attended the First Order military academy. 

“Yes of course,” he replied with a tight smile, wondering if the meeting would ever take place.

 “Go home with your mother.” He turned his attention to the girl. “And don’t be too hard on her. She wouldn’t mislead you without reason.” He felt his stomach twist, he needed to get out of this room. Clearing his throat, began moving towards the lift. 

“I’ll have your ships cleared for departure. We’ll speak again soon, yes?”

[cheurienhux]

"Yes, we will... Thank you, Armitage." Darya looked at his disappearing back slowly. She knew he was running away. Not because he was a coward but this was all just too...emotional for him. Darya felt horrible, realizing what she had stolen from him.

She left with the kids soon after that and it took few weeks until she contacted Hux. Uri kept reminding her about it.

"Armitage... It's good to see you again. Now that you've had time to think...would you still be willing to meet us? Me and our daughter."

[first-order-of-hux]

He nodded, debating whether he’d rather have the conversation or create a crisis he needed to stay late and solve. 

A grimace crossed his face. “It was my fault they were in danger in the first place. She did rescue me… twice actually, but she would have been far safer if I hadn’t been there.” Safer still if she hadn’t been there either.

[cheurienhux]

first-order-of-hux:

He paused, wishing he’d run away earlier when he had the opportunity. “It was… a while ago. Perhaps over a decade…” As if he hadn’t kept track, as if he never thought about the woman he’d he’d hoped to marry.

He tried not to, it was a distraction from his work. Darya leaving had been the best thing for his career. Hux knew he never would have made General with a family to draw his attention. It was absolutely for the best, he was certain. But he did reminisce sometimes and wonder…

So he must know it too now. That’s why he was practically running away with an answer like that. Uri huffed and sat back with crossed arms. She and her friends sat in silence, waiting until her mother would come. 

Darya had landed her ship in one of their hangars now and she was waiting for the kids. And Hux. She was nervous, her heart beating fast and her palms sweating. Ideally Cheurien hadn’t figured it all out but she was a really smart girl she was sure she had already. 

“Hux?”

[first-order-of-hux]

Hux waited alone for Darya to exit her ship. He seemed calm, but if he had the option to face an angry Supreme Leader or a squad of Resistance fighters, he would choose them instead. 

“Darya.” He cleared his throat softly. “The children are in the guest quarters.” Hopefully they hadn’t wandered off to explore. “I’ll take you too them, if you’ll come with me.” Leading them towards a lift, he turned to face her when the doors closed. He fidgeted with his gloves, wondering if he should attempt the awkward small talk that seemed appropriate for someone he hadn’t seen in years. 

He sighed instead. “Is there anything you want to tell me before we get there?”

[cheurienhux]

Darya couldn’t help but smile as she looked at Hux. He was still as handsome as ever. Maybe a little pale and tired but… He still looked like the man she had fallen in love with. Her heart had calmed a little but she shifted awkwardly when they were alone in the lift.

“Yes, she’s your biological daughter.” She confirmed, knowing it must be on his mind. How could it not? Maybe it had been a calculated move to give her the ring for just in case, she happened to run into him.

“And she doesn’t know. Or didn’t. I’m sure she knows too already. She got your intellect.” Darya wanted to apologize for never telling him, and explain why she did it. But this didn’t feel like the right place nor moment.

“And she will be really mad when she sees me. Just…watch out for that.” Mother knows her child well.

[first-order-of-hux]

Rubbing his face, Hux could relate to Uri’s anger. He felt a good deal of it, as well as some other emotions he couldn’t name yet. He wasn’t good with situations involving feelings and relationships, he had little practice. But it wasn’t the time for a conversation, the lift would open soon. 

“I think she might have guessed it. I didn’t tell her anything…” He hadn’t been absolutely sure until now. “She only just found out I knew you.”

[cheurienhux]

"I would like to talk about these things with you but..not in this setting. I think we should meet later, somewhere else. If you're able to, that is." Darya held his arm for a moment and let go as she gave him a little smile. Her love for him would never die completely.

"I'm still glad it was you she ran into. I never thought this would happen, but I still gave her the ring for just in case. You'd recognize it, I was sure of it."

[cheurienhux]

“Hux?”

[cheurienhux]

first-order-of-hux:

Hux took s moment to breathe and calm himself, deciding it would be more subtle than sprinting away after the call ended. He clenched his fists behind his back to keep from messing his hair. Maybe he’d get lucky and the New Republic would declare war before he had to meet with the Darya.

He caught sight of the girl. She seemed to be thinking hard and not liking what was in her mind. Not wanting to face any potential questions, Hux turned to leave. He needed a quick drink before returning to work. Not his habit, but these were not normal circumstances.

“Wait!” Uri saw the man was already leaving. “I have a question!” If he answered it, it would confirm her thoughts. “Uhm...when was the last time you saw my mother?” If it was 14 years ago... It’d mean he could be her father. He didn’t even know she existed.

[first-order-of-hux]

Hux bit his tongue, thinking the galaxy trips should never have occurred n the first place. It wasn’t his business, he reminded himself again. 

Hux’s years of practice listening to lectures and taking orders prevented him from protesting or squirming at the request. The last thing he wanted to meet with Darya. 

He gave a tight smile, hoping he seemed calm and unaffected. He felt like bolting. “Yes, of course,” he replied. “I’ll send you coordinates of where to meet.” 

[cheurienhux]

Darya got the coordinates soon and she was on her way. Meanwhile Cheurien was thinking really really hard. Putting the few puzzle pieces she had together. She was silently staring the General as she played with the ring she had.

Oh wait. She looked down at the ring and then back at Hux. He had recognized it. That's why he asked, right? Her mom and he knew each other and he knew the ring. They both seemed awkward first. Also.

Her mother didn't have ginger hair. Uri always knew that was from her father then. She touched her hair for a second as she was thinking about the theory, and glanced up at Hux's hair.

Uri started to look distressed because the idea she had would change everything. And mean that her mom lied to her for all her life.

Her friend noticed. "Are you okay, Uri?"

"Wha- yeah, I'm fine." She forced out.

[cheurienhux]

first-order-of-hux:

Hux rolled his eyes. A galaxy full of chaos and criminals was far more dangerous than the Order. 

“They are perfectly safe, I assure you,” he called, stepping into view. “They weren’t before…” He wondered if he should bother with an introduction. 

“I’m not going to keep them here, they are free to leave, but they will be given an escort home. I am not comfortable releasing them on their own to find more trouble.”

Darya’s eyes widened when she heard and saw the man who was with them. Armitage Hux…her ex-lover. The father of her child. What were the chances she’d meet him like this? It felt unreal.

“Thank you, Hux.” The mother said, and Cheurien was confused at how she knew him. “You know this guy?” She asked her, and looked at her and then the general. Darya didn’t answer.

“I will be picking them all up, do not bother with an escort. I am sure you have better things to do.”

[first-order-of-hux]

Hux ignored Uri’s question as well, relieved to follow Darya’s example.

The look of surprise on the woman’s face was slightly gratifying, but Hux almost lost his calm facade when the woman stated she would retrieve the children herself. He had hoped for a conversation but not this soon.

“Here… here? You want to come her?” He winced when he heard the tone of his voice.

[cheurienhux]

Cheurien sensed something was horribly off with the whole situation. She just didn't know why. She knew that her mom and this man knew each other somehow, but they clearly didn't want her to know. Also the General wasn't excited about her mom coming to get them.

"Mum, we can co-...", "No, I will come pick you up, young lady. I think your galaxy trips are enough for now." She said sternly with her mom voice and Uri didn't complain. Even though she was disappointed. "Okay..."

"Yes. I will be there as soon as possible. And... I'd like you to be the one to bring them to me. Can you do that?" She sounded unsure, but she still trusted the man she almost married.

[cheurienhux]

[cheurienhux]

first-order-of-hux:

Hux wasn’t a parent… or hadn’t thought he was, but he believed he would be a little more concerned for his child’s safety than the woman on the holo seemed. 

He bit his lip and hung back, fighting the urge to step in and start shouting about the dangers of naive parenting. He would wait to see how the call went, and wait until he knew what he wanted to say, if he wanted to make his presence known at all. 

Staying out of it would be the simplest solution. 

“Yes mom, everything is okay. We had little trouble but we dealt with it and now we are... resting.” Cheurien smiled. Her friends stayed out of it after greeting her mother too. “Oh, what kind of trouble?” 

“We...helped a soldier and he got kidnapped and we saved him and now we are enjoying their hospitality.” She tried to make it sound as calm and not serious as she could. Her mother was quiet though and it had Cheurien worried. Telling the truth was probably the best idea because if she didn’t and her mom found out, she wouldn’t let her travel anymore.

“And where are you now?”

“...Uhm...on..some sort of...battlecruiser?”

“You’re inside a First Order military ship??” She raised her voice. “Uri, what are you thinking?? That’s not safe!” There was different kind of hidden fear in her voice but Uri couldn’t tell why. It sounded different from her just being scared for her safety.

“First Order isn’t for children. Their priorities are elsewhere, Uri. You get out of there now, before something happens.”

[cheurienhux]

first-order-of-hux:

The children would absolutely not be continuing their trip, whether the bounty hunters gave up or not. They would be safely escorted back to their home planet. 

Hux knew he did not have much right to discuss parenting with Cheurien’s mother, but letting children wander the galaxy by themselves was reckless. He could at least inform her that her daughter invited strangers aboard her ship and was almost shot and captured by bounty hunters. Hopefully she might be more cautious when funding her child’s hobbies. 

He cleaned up and quickly made his report and finished the most important tasks before visiting the children again. 

“Guys my mom is calling...” Cheurien had a small holo device in her hand and she put in on the table. She turned her head to the side to see the General was there again.

“Is that even possible? We are inside the First Order.” “I guess it is...” She shrugged, and then her mom appeared. “Cheurien.” Darya smiled. “Hi mom.” “You haven’t contacted me in a while. Is everything okay?” She wasn’t sure at all if she should tell her what really had happened or just lie something.
