Chapter Eleven
"Well, Lord Solo what a pleasure to see you again" Lor San Tekka said standing up from his desk. Lor was an old man yet still very young for his age, smart and did not need a cane like many men his age. "Here for our meeting correct?"
"Yes indeed" Ben replied as he took off his cloak and hung it up on the coat rack. "Shall we begin?"
"Of course, take a seat why don't you" the old man said gesturing to the seat across from him. "Care for some coffee?"
"Yes please" Ben replied and he sat down "some cream and sugar please"

Rey walked down the stone streets, a light snow was on the ground but it would not snow for a little while. She held up her skirts as she walked to prevent from tripping and getting her skirts dirty. The man behind her, Mr. Chewbacca, not the driver but footman, was helping her up on the curb.
"Princess" he said to her in a deep gruff voice. she smiled and shook her head at him.
"No, no princess, please just call me Rey" she told him as they walked to the bakery down the street.
"You married prince, you princess" he smiled, he clearly came from somewhere else. He was born and raised in Hoth, where the first language was rough and hard, no where simple as English.
"Yes but-"
"Then you're a princess" he stated as they walked into a bakery. As soon as they did the warm bread smell filled their noses. "And I'm Chewie" he smiled
"Hello welcome to Boba Fett's Bakery" a man said. He was wearing an apron and had a small towel on his shoulder to help him wipe his hands. "Can I help you with anything?" he asked.
"Yes, I was wondering if you had any-" suddenly a little cry was heard.
"Excuse me for a moment" the man said and ran into the kitchen. He came back with a little baby in a green blanket with large ears and doe like eyes "sorry babysitting, what can I get for you?"
"Do you have any rosemary bread ?" Rey asked smiling down at the little baby.
"Yes, would you like it sliced ? Or as a loaf ?" He said and the baby stopped fussing. Once the baby was calm he put him in his little basket with a toy.
"Just a loaf is fine" Rey replied.
"Of course" he said and went to get the loaf. He wrapped it tightly "that will be 10 credits ma'am"
Rey got out her purse and gathered the sum in her hands and then gave it to him. "And here you are" he said handing her the wrapped loaf.
"Thank you!" Rey smiled as she put the loaf in the basket she was carrying
-
"Sounds wonderful" Lor said and the two men shook hands, Ben looked down at his watch and saw he still had some time till he needed to met Rey. "How was the wedding, I'm sorry I couldn't make it out my wife was sick"
"Oh that's alright" Ben began "it was wonderful, my mother planned it"
"And your bride, Viscountess Antilles correct?" He asked Ben.
"Yes indeed" Ben replied sipping his coffee.
"Is that her?" He asked pointing at the window. Ben turned his body to see his wife, a basket in her hand and Chewie behind her.
She looked absolutely joyful walking in her blue cloak, a wicker basket in hand and items in it. She walked into the sweet shop Jessika had told her about over breakfast.
"Yes that's her" Ben said.
"She's darling" Lor smiled "so thin my goodness, hopefully that belly of hers will be full with a baby soon"
"Yes" Ben replied.

The ride back was quiet. Ben was reading a paper he had picked up and Rey was knitting. "How was the meeting?" She asked, breaking the silence.
"Oh, quite well thank you" he replied. "What did you get?"
"Some rosemary bread, Maz used to make it and I missed her so... and some of those sweets for Jessika. Some new yarn, I have a couple projects I want to do"
"Sounds marvelous" Ben replied and they fell back into silence.
The rest of the ride Ben stole glances at her, she was so focused in her knitting. Her nose scrunched and brows together when she held up the blanket so far for inspection.
"We're here your highness" the driver said.

"Well?" Rose asked now in Rey's sitting room, it was just for Rey, Ben wasn't allowed in just like how she wasn't allowed in his.
"He told me to call him Ben" she replied. "Everyone calls him Ben"
"I'm sorry" Rose said. "Anything else?"
"We shook hands, after we made a small deal, his hand lingered"
"That's good !" Rose smiled. "We're just going to have to figure out a way for him to see you with less clothes on".
"What ? How ?" She asked.
"You could always dress yourself for bed instead of the chamber maids" Gwen replied asking she rubbed Jessika's back, pregnancy was painful.
"What do you mean?" Rey asked.
The women were sitting on the large cushions on the floor, a fire roaring, blankets all around with a tray of tea and treats.
Rey was sitting on the window bench while Rose sat on the ground near her. And across from them Jessika said with her legs crossed and hunched over as Gwen rubbed her shoulders.
"Try having everything off but your shift and corset, and then ask him to help you unlace it!" Jessika replied.
"My corset is over my petit skirts" Rey reminded them.
"Then keep the skirts on and still ask him, take off your stockings so your feet are bare and pick up your skirts as you walk to him" Gwen said in a matter of fact way.
"That's a good idea !" Rose agreed " and at dinner I'll bring up the jewel jubilee and then Gwen can ask him what he thinks jewel tone you'd look good in"
"Alrighty then" Rey said.
