Carry You ~Eddie Diaz

Sam's POV:

July 20th, 2020

Chaos is the only word to explain how stressful this month has been, I have been at home the entire time, and Eddie hasn't let me leave besides to get groceries but even that was a stretch. The only places he has gone are the store and work. Christopher has been stuck in the house, I feel bad for him but he is very high risk.

I haven't been able to see Maddie or Evan at all. I don't know how this is going to work for school, how am I supposed to help Chris in school?

Maddie said that she is doing good and so is the baby. Chimney decided to move in with Buck and Albert lives with Maddie. He wants to keep the baby safe, which is a kind gesture but I wouldn't want to be alone throughout pregnancy, especially with it being her first.

Eddie has been really good about this lockdown, we haven't had any issues and he told Mariana to back off; I was there when he called her, and sure enough, she was trying to get back into his life and she blamed me, which I couldn't give two shits about. I will take the blame but Eddie is my fiancé, not hers.

Every day when Eddie comes home, he has to strip out of his outer layer he worked in and I take it straight to the laundry room and wash it while he showers. It was a long and dreadful process but we have all managed to stay healthy, I mentioned to him what Chimney and Maddie were doing and he shot it down immediately. His exact words were, "Hell no, don't bring it up again. I don't want you moving out of this house unless WE are moving to a new house,"

He always knew what to say and when to say it, that's why I'm hoping when he gets out of the shower we will be able to figure out a couple of our next steps as a couple.

"What are you thinking about, mi amor?"

I looked up to see Eddie and I smiled. "Hey, how was work?"

"It was good, another abundance of COVID complaints but it was alright. How was your day with the babies?"

I smiled as Eddie set his hand on my tummy, I wasn't showing quite yet but my shirts were starting to feel tight on my belly. After being in the hospital, Buck surprisingly didn't tell the 118, Eddie broke the news today since we were well into our 3-month mark and are moving into the second trimester. "It was good, no morning sickness today, I think they're starting to like me more."

Eddie laughed lightly, "Have you told Christopher yet?"

"How could I do that without you? It wouldn't feel right."

Eddie took my hands and kissed my knuckles, "I love you, doll."

I cringed at the nickname, "Really?"

"What? It's adorable." I rolled my eyes and felt this weird sensation. My eyes widened and I squeezed Eddie's hand. "What? What's wrong?"

"I-I think the babies are kicking."

"What? Already?" Eddie placed both of his hands on my petite stomach and closed his eyes. The sensation happened again and Eddie's eyes widened and he smiled at me, "No way," He whispered.

"Was I right?" I questioned. "They shouldn't be able to kick yet,"

"Yeah, that's the babies. You're right but maybe they've developed faster than anticipated somehow. I mean, Nic did say that she was surprised by how big they were,"

"Oh my god," I felt tears hit my eyes.

"Woah, Woah, hey, what's wrong?"

"I'm just really happy and you know my emotions are unstable, to begin with."
