Chapter Text
„Kylo!” Rey stemmed her hands into her hips. „That’s ridiculous!”
Her husband smiled.
„Yes, exactly. They will look so cute. Gemma asked me to put flowers on the horns, so she looks like a princess.”
Rey huffed. „Once they are grown they will have their own horns. I don’t see the need to dress them up as demons for Halloween now.”
Kylo cooked his head, a slight twinge of disappointment on his face.
„Last year they went as witches,” he reminded her and Rey couldn’t help but roll her eyes.
„Yes, witches with a pointy hat and a broom. That’s the Hollywood version of a witch and nothing like the real thing.”
He eyed her for a moment.
„Are you sure? Let me get you a broom.“
He had to admit he kind of deserved the death glare Rey gave him.
„Sweetheart, they want to be demons this year. Just let them okay? They might not like it later on.” He worked his jaw and Rey felt ashamed that she had been against it. Of course Kylo was proud to be a demon now, but he had shared with her, that there had been a point were he hated the idea of being the representation of something truly evil. Not that they were evil. Being a half demon had its perks.
She reached out and rubbed his shoulder affectionately. “We’ll make sure they do. After all there are so many good demons in their lives. We’ll help them adjust to the changes and teach them what it means.”
He sighed. “And they can wear the costume?”
Rey pursed her lips. “And they can wear the damn costume.”
„Mummy, we want to go already and get candy! Can you help me with my outfit?” Willow wrapped a black cape around her shoulders and Rey bend down to button it.
“I didn’t know demons wore capes,” she said and threw her husband a questioning glance.
Kylo shrugged while Willow grinned at her mother.
„I’m wearing one, so I guess they do now.”
Rey put on an amused smile. „Will your sister be wearing one as well?”
Willow shook her head, her unruly dark locks shaking with the movement.
„No she put on her princess dress. I’m not sure if she understood that we dress up as demons, but she is being very extra today.”
Extra. A word Poe had taught her.
“I see.”
Rey always marvelled in how different the twins were. They looked alike, but didn’t share the same interests. Just as Rey had hoped they had inherited their fathers dark curls. Their eyes however resembled hers more.
Gemma was a drama queen and liked more glamourous things than her sister. She was also a fan of flowers and helped Rey in the garden whenever she could.
Willow loved everything spooky. She was Kylo’s little shadow, loved cooking and baking and had insisted on her own room, which had led to Kylo and Rey renovating the house to get more space.
If Kylo had his way, there would be more children in the future, so he had added more rooms than necessary in Rey’s eyes. He had told her they needed guest rooms for when his parents visited and a study. Rey had been okay with it until she had learned of his true intention.
„The two of them are a handful already,” she had said.
„But we love them. Don’t you think we would love all our children like that?”
„You make it sound like you want a whole coven.”
Kylo had shrugged. „I’m in if you are.”
Rey had only shook her head, but there had been a glint of intrigue in her eyes.
„I can’t find my pumpkin bag!” Gemma came out of her room with a huff. She was indeed wearing her princess dress and the headband with horns, that Kylo had decorated with flowers, sat tight on her head.
Her father moved to the dining table and lifted the pumpkin bag she was referring to. This was where her candy was supposed to go and she had added some rhinestones with Kylo’s help so it would fit her overall appearance.
Eagerly she grabbed it and smiled at her father. „I’m ready! Can we go now?”
Kylo nodded.
„Everyone who is ready puts on shoes and goes to the front door.”
He looked at Rey as she grabbed a fake wand she had crafted herself. She was dressed in green and had put on a small pair of fairy wings.
Kylo had partially shifted to demon form. His dark horns proud on his head, ashen skin covered with dark marks and runes. His claws were tucked in however because he felt safer holding his daughters’ hands like that. He would never forgive himself if he accidentally hurt them.
„Shoes are on,” Rey said and gave her husband a wink, that he immediately recognized.
Raising an eyebrow he grabbed her hip affectionately to pull her to him, pressing a kiss to her temple. „Since you are a big girl I will let that remark slip and not check if you are wearing your panties.” His voice was low so the children wouldn’t hear it, but it also had an effect on Rey.
„It’s autumn. I don’t want to become ill because I’m not wearing knickers under my clothes,” she whispered back at him, but there was this mischievousness on her face, that made him question everything. Stroking his cheek lovingly, Kylo let out a low growl.
„I remember a time, witch, when you were bend naked over a tombstone while I took you from behind. You didn’t give a damn about the temperature then.”
Rey hummed. „Maybe I need a repeat to freshen up my mind.”
She let her lips trail over his jaw, until they found his mouth. The kiss was quick and heated, but left both of them wanting for more.
Suddenly a little voice interrupted them.
„Yes, I want to leave too, Willow, but they are kissing again.”
„Tell them to stop then!”
Kylo turned his head to his children.
„We aren’t deaf, you little monsters.”
Rey stepped back from him and grabbed the keys.
„Okay, little demons. Let’s go.”
Then she turned around, winked at her husband and mouthed “later”.
