Chapter Six
They walked into the reception, hand and hand as the announcer spoke "Presenting for the first time His Royal Highness Benjamin Anakin Skywalker Solo Viscount of Antilles, Duke of Alderaan, Crowned Prince of Naboo and Her Royal Highness Audrey Lilliana Morningstar Viscountess of Antilles, Duchess of Alderaan, Crowned Princess of Naboo"
The crowd cheered as they walked in, then once they bowed to them, of course everyone but his mother and uncle.
They walked to the middle of the ball room and the orchestra began to play the wedding march. Ben's and Rey's hands met and went to their elbows. Ben's arm was on the small of his own back and Rey's was holding her dress with her veil wrapped around the arm.
Everyone watched as the couple danced in a circle, and soon their wedding party joined hands in a circle around them and then the newly weds joined hands and her hand rested on his shoulder while his hand laid on the small of her waist.
The first dance went on and when it ended everyone clapped. They wedding party walked to the the large circular table where they sat to eat as others began to dance and music played.
"Rey" Rose said and Ben looked at her, he had never heard anyone call her Rey.
"Yes?" She asked Rose.
"The queen would like the two of you to come to the drawing room down the hall, she says she has a wedding surprise for you two." She told the couple.
"Shall we go ?" Ben sand as he stood up and offered his arm.
"Of course" she nodded and the two walked away following Rose.
Once getting to the drawing room Leia smiled at them. She was dressed gorgeously. A beautiful emerald green gown that was long and regal.
Gold leaves danced up her dress with gold jewelry to match. Including a beautiful tiara that was solid gold and gorgeous emeralds to match, it was littered with little diamonds to match.
"Hello my loves" Leia said as they entered. Rey bowed before her and Ben didn't.
"Oh dear" she said "Audrey you don't need to bow to me in private, it's quite alright" Leia said happily caressing the cheek of Rey. "And I have a small little gift for Rey, I would give it to you Benji but this is my way of welcoming this lovely young lady to our family" Leia said as maid came in with a box.
"Mama you didn't give her a sewing set did you? Rosalie said that she likes knitting instead" Ben replied.
"No no ! Audrey open it dear" Leia said excitedly.
Rey smiled bad opened your the box and gasped. "Do you like it?" Leia asked smiling.
"What is it?" Ben asked.
"Two adorable puppies!" Rey said happily, holding one of the puppies in her arm and the other in the other arm.
"Mom-" Ben began.
"Oh thank you so much!" Rey said smiling at Leia . "How adorable are these two? What are they?" Rey asked.
"They're Cloud City cocker spaniels. The red one is a boy and the black one is the girl" Leia said "they're not siblings, one of my dog trainers who trained all my dogs knew a lady's dog that had puppies and were the perfect age to go to their new homes"
"Oh they're so adorable" Rey said kissing one on the head. "Oh they need names ! And we'll have to figure out some training and beds" Rey said.
"Perfect practice for a baby" Leia smiled. Rey noticed Ben tense up.
"Here hold her" Rey said handing Ben the puppy with black fur. "I think he should be named BB" Rey said gently rubbing the puppy's head.
Ben held the dog and suddenly the puppy began to lick his cheek. "Oh Ben she likes you!" Leia said.
"She is rather cute" Ben said. "She's a 9/10 if her breath was a little better" he smiled.
"Nine" Rey said "that's her name" and Ben smiled.

Ben was dancing with Milly, she was on his feet as he debated with her. "Look" Rose said holding Rey's arm "He's going to make a great father one day" Rose said. "And maybe you'll have more than just one" Rey looked at her. "For more than just a dowry" Rose said.
"How did -" Rey asked, she thought only the queen and her parents knew.
"The queen told your ladies, as did your mother, your mother wanted us to make sure you got pregnant" Rose said.
"Does he know ?" Rey asked.
"He knows" she said "I'm not sure about the whole baby aspect but he knows about the reverse dowry"
"Does everyone know ?" Rey asked.
"No, your ladies and his men were sworn under secrecy, and it's punishable by death to break the promise given by someone if the royal family"
"So if I made you promise to cluck like a chicken every time you saw me would you" Rey asked giggling.
"Yes... but don't you dare I'll put spices in your tea" Rose laughed.
"Rey" she looked up and saw Jessika "we need to prepare you for bed" Jessika said.
"Well I doubt she'll sleep" Gwen laughed over her glass of champagne.
"Oh hush you!" Rose said gently smacking her arm. The ladies all got up and walked her to their room.
"Before we do can I show you all what the queen gave me ?" She asked, she wanted to kill time. She knew it was her duty and her family needed her to but nonetheless she was still nervous. She had kissed a few boys, had a brief affair with her tutor's son and it had never been more than gentle petting. She was nervous Mx
"I'd love to see it" Jessika said.
"Me too!" Rose replied and they all looked at Gwen, they knew she was strict and to the rules.
"Well" Gwen said "he most likely will have a glass of brandy and cigar before bed with the men of the court, so we'll have time" she said and Rey room let out a sigh of relief.
