omgg i love that fic AND that idea sooo much. ok uh, maybe theyre stuck in a car/speeder on the side of a road? or in a sandstorm (lol), maybe kylo is knocked out smwhere, OR hux is captured (with Rey, by some.. space mobsters idk) it’s very late but I’m excited
ahh, omg, thank you for this message! it inspired me. I think I’ve got something...
Armie and Ben live on Arkanis, in a remote home near the sea, with no close neighbors. two weeks before Armie is due to deliver their first child, Ben’s younger sister Rey comes to visit.
for some reason (we’ll work that out later), Ben is away from home and unavailable. Rey is keeping Armitage company for the afternoon.
when Armitage goes into labor, Rey panics -- but he insists it’s not the real thing, because he’s not due for two more weeks.
eventually, however, Rey insists on driving him to the medcenter, which is more than an hour away by speeder. because of Armitage’s denial, his labor is well underway by the time they get on the road.
it happens to be storm season on Arkanis. the sea is roiling, the roads are flooding, and rain is coming down hard enough to bruise the skin.
several miles away from town, the speeder breaks down and Rey is unable to repair it. the road is remote enough that there are no passing speeders that might be able to give them a lift.
to make matters worse, the weather is so bad that their comms get no signal, so they can’t even let someone know where they are.
meanwhile, Armitage’s contractions are getting closer and closer together.
poor Rey has no clue how to deliver a baby, but she has to figure it out, in the back of a speeder in the middle of a storm.
