Falling for "The Freak" (eddie munson× reader)

Chapter 13 [A Shock to Nance]

Dustin's POV:
"WHAT? WHAT HAPPENED?" Robin screams while sobbing. Steve just sits there starting to sob as well. "Y/n's body was under too much stress and her body just couldn't take it." I say hugging the two on the couch. We sit there and talk for about a half an hour until I need to leave. I ride back home and go straight to bed.

Eddie's POV:
     I wake up to the landline ringing. It's 2:27 in the morning, who could be calling? I get up and answer the phone. "Is this Eddie Munson?" Someone asked. "This is him." I answer back confused. "Hi Eddie, this is Dr. Newman. Y/n is awake and talking. She's been asking for you." The doctor says over the phone. "I'll be right over there" I say hanging up the phone. I get dressed and jump into my van, driving as fast as I can to get to her.

Y/n's POV:
     I can feel the nurse change my IV out to take more blood. When she sticks the new needle in my arm I wince in pain and open my eyes. "Ow" I say looking at the nurse. "WE NEED A DOCTOR IN HERE STAT!" She says screaming at the receptionist. The doctor comes in about a minute later asking me all these questions. "Where's Eddie? I need to see Eddie." I say looking around the room and then at the doctor. "He's at home right now. He came in and saw you every day you know?" He asks. "No, I didn't. I never heard his voice." I tell the doctor. "Can you please call Eddie and get him over here?" I ask the doctor. "Yes ma'am" He says while walking out of the room. After 20 minutes of even more questions, they finally leave the room and I see Eddie. I try to get out of bed but he runs up to me before I can even move. "Baby don't get up, you'll fall." He says while hugging me tight.
     I pull him away from me after a few minutes and kiss him gently. Having not felt those lips in what felt like years was such a happy moment for me. He pulls away and goes in to hug me again but I stop him. "Before you hug me again. I have a question." I say looking him in his tear filled eyes. "What's that sweetheart?" He says with a big smile on his face. "How's the baby?" I ask him with a hand on my stomach. I can see his eyes change emotion, but his face still has that big smile on it. "I actually don't know, let's wait for the doctors to come back in honey." He says to me with a drop in energy. He uses the phone right outside of my room to make calls to everyone. After about 45 minutes, Steve, Robin, Nancy, Mike, and Dustin come into my room. My face lights up with happiness as I see them all. I give them all big and long hugs after they arrive. After a while of "How have you been" with everyone, we're all joking and laughing. No one seems sad about anything. But the only thing on my mind is my baby.
     After a while with my friends, the doctor comes back in the room and asks everyone but Eddie to leave. "What's going on? Why can't I have my friends in here?" I ask the doctor looking worried. Eddie sits next to me and holds my hand, I squeeze his hand as tight as I can. "Y/n, we have good news and bad news. Which one do you want first?" The doctor asks me while looking through my chart. "Bad news first. Always." I say looking at Eddie and then back at the doctor. "Y/n, I'm very sorry, but you lost your baby in the car crash." The doctor says while sitting on the edge of my bed. "W-w-what?" I say tearing up. I look over at Eddie and he's sobbing into my hand with his head down. "I lost the baby?" I ask with tears rolling down my face. "Yes. I'm so sorry for your loss y/n."
     After the doctor tells me the good news he leaves and tells everyone they can come back in. The mood has completely changed.. Almost like they knew. "How many of you knew?" I say asking all of them at once. Dustin, Steve, Robin, and Eddie put their heads down. Nancy looks at me confused. "Knew about what y/n?" She says cocking her head slightly. "Nance, y/n was pregnant." Steve says bringing his head up to look at her. "What do you mean 'was'"? Nancy asks me. Looking at her with tears rolling down my face and chin, "Nance.. I lost the baby." I tell her with a breaking voice. She starts to tear up and comes and sits on the bed next to me and hugs me while sobbing. "Y/n. Sweetheart. I'm so sorry." She says in the crook of my neck. "It's okay Nance, it'll pass eventually." I say in a reassuring voice with tears still rolling down my face. Everyone is still sobbing after 15 minutes of more hugs with everyone.
     Eddie sits up on the bed with me, I scoot over and he lays down with me. I turn towards him, still sobbing. I wrap my arms around him and squeeze him as hard as I can. He turns towards me, now face to face with me, my head still buried into his chest. He kisses the top of my head and whispers, "I'm so sorry I didn't tell you love. I just didn't know how to tell you." I pull my head out from his chest and kiss him. "It's okay honey." I say looking at him with tear filled eyes. He takes his thumb and wipes my tears off his face, I do the same with him. He gets up and goes out of the room to ask the doctor if he can spend the night. After the doctor says no, Eddie grabs his things and kisses me goodbye. "I'll be back tomorrow love, I promise." He says to me as he pulls away from our kiss.
     Once I know that he's gone, I start crying once again. Only this time I can't stop, and it's loud. I can hear people yelling at me to shut up. I don't listen and keep crying, after a while the yelling stops. I'm guessing that the nurses told them what's going on and they felt bad. I finally decided to go to bed after hours of uncontrollable crying. Once I fall asleep I'm at peace for once. When I wake up a few hours later I have to go to the restroom. I try and get up to walk but I fall right on my ass. I press the nurses button and she helps me up and hands me a walker, holding my back she helps me use the bathroom. while I'm in there I start crying. "Why is everything going wrong in my life? I can't do this anymore, I just wish everything would end." I think to myself as I walk back to bed. I cant sleep anymore than I already have. Thoughts are flooding my mind. About what could've been for that baby. What would've happened if I didn't go into my own little world. What everyone would've done that hated me. What if Jason found out? What if he tried to beat it out of me? Every what if you can think of was racing my mind.
By the time the sun comes up, Eddie's already at my door waiting for me to "wake up." I hear a knock at my door and I turn over to see Eddie standing there with my favorite flowers and some clothes. I smile at him with my puffy and red eyes. He walks up to me and looks at my eyes, seeing that I've been crying. "Baby what's going on? Why have you been crying?" He asks concerned. "Just thinking babe, nothing to worry about, I promise." I reassure him. He lays down on bed with me and gives me the clothes he brought from the trailer. He also brings my necklace with his ring on it, along with something else.. It's a little pacifier charm. "What's this for honey?" I ask him. "It's so you can remember who you love most in this world. Me, the man you're going to marry soon. And the baby." He says while tearing up, I do the same, "Thank you love. I love it. And I love you." I say with a lump in my throat. "I love you too y/n" He says putting his forehead on mine. I cup his cheek and pull him in for a kiss. I turn my back to him and move my hair so he can put my necklace back on. He helps me walk to the bathroom with the walker and helps me change. I lay back in bed and wait for my discharge papers. After about an hour or two we finally leave, Eddie's rolling me around in the wheelchair they gave him to take me to the van. We drive home and Eddie helps me get out of the van and walk me inside.
The stairs were a little hard to get up, but Eddie helped me with every step. He takes me to bed to rest. When he lays me down I whine at him. "What's wrong sweetheart?" He asks. "I want to watch a movie with you. I don't want to be in bed all dayyy." I say whining the last word. He finally agrees after about 10 minutes of me whining. We go into the living room and watch my favorite (y/n's favorite 80's movie). After the movie is finished Eddie has to go to work. He has Nancy and Steve to come help me around the house. They come over right before he leaves. They help me clean up the house, they do all of the bending over and heavy lifting while I clean counters and do the dishes. My legs start shaking while I'm finishing up the dishes and Steve notices as he's walking past me to do the laundry. I nearly fall before I feel him pick me off of my feet and set me on the couch. "Take it easy y/n. I don't want you falling." He says sitting beside me while Nancy looks at him in discust. "Can I just go to bed?" I ask Steve wanting to rest. I'm exhausted. He helps me get up and walk to the bedroom. I fall asleep as soon as he closes the door. A few hours later I hear someone walking through the door. I flip over, not opening my eyes to let them know I'm sleeping. "Sorry baby, I'm just grabbing some boxers so I can jump in the shower. I'll be out in just a second." I hear Eddie say as I fall back asleep. After about 30 minutes I hear the door open and close again. Someone's laying next to me, I open my eyes and see Eddie laying next to me, getting ready to go to bed. "I'm so sorry baby. Did I wake you up?" He asks putting his hand on my cheek. "No, you're fine love. Just seeing who was next to me." I say cuddling up next to him and driving back to sleep. Eddie slowly falls asleep after me.
