Meant to be / Eddie Munson

Chapter Seventeen : Christmas

Tuesday 24th December 1985
TW: talk of trauma, abuse and SA

I was officially 14 weeks pregnant starting to show slightly and constantly wearing leggings and hoodies to school but now it's Christmas Eve and I'm free to have my small bump showing. I was in my bedroom folding some unisex baby clothes me and Eddie grabbed whilst we was Christmas shopping.

"Y/n! Eddie is here" I heard my mum yell up the stairs. Before I could even get up my door flung open and it was Eddie "we've got a trial date!" He exclaimed "what?" I asked confused "Chrissy and Jason have been arrested and now they got a trial date coming up for what they did to you" he said smiling at. "When?" I asked worried. "February 17th BUT they are staying in police custody until then." His smile getting wider that they will no longer be in our way. I promised him if they go to prison I'll give him one more chance and that's all he's been determined on. But honestly? I don't know if I wanna be with him again, but at the same time we was having a baby together.

"Y/n Henderson I love you" he looked me dead in the eyes as he took my hands. "I- uh" I couldn't say it back. I couldn't say anything I just stood therein the middle of the room speechless.

He waited a few seconds before he realised I wasn't going to say it back, he sighed as he let go of my hands. He leaned down and kissed my belly like he always did then left.

I should really tell him about my past with my dad but I don't want him to look at me differently. We're having a baby together he deserves to know. I took a deep breath and headed downstairs, I grabbed mums car keys and drove to Eddie's trailer.

I see his van when I got there and took a deep breath as I got out and knocked on his door. "Y/n?" He said staring at me, I just stared back he was topless and sweaty. "We need to talk" I said with a faint smile "now is not a really good time" he said as he kept looking back into his room. "Eddie come on" I heard a girls voice come from his room and that's when I spotted the hickeys on his neck. "Oh" I smiled and just walked back to my car I got in and I broke down crying. Christmas Eve is fitting in so well with the others.

I was going to drive off but no. I'm the one carrying his child. As petty and toxic as it may seem I come first right now, but some girl. I got back out the car and swung Eddie's trailer door open.

"What the fuck" Eddie yelled through as he see me and the girl covered herself up. They was both naked but I didn't really care "I need to talk to you. She can stay in the bedroom and you guys can resume after but I need to talk to you now." Tears were running down my face from how angry I was and he could sense that.

He turned to the girl in the bedroom "I'll be back in a minute Rose" he said as he shut the bedroom door and put on sweats. "What's up y/n?" He said annoyed. "Right 1 you don't get to be annoyed after you told me you love me then ran to fuck the first girl you see and 2 I need to talk to you about some serious stuff that if I wait any longer to tell you, I will never tell you." I huffed at him. He nodded and he sat down on the sofa "oh no not here, this is a place of happy memories and skanks apparently" I rolled my eyes.

He nodded as we left and got in my mums car, I drove us to the school's parking lot and got out as he followed "y/n?" Where we going? "To the place where everything started" I mumbled but he still heard me, we got to the bench and sat across from each other.

"What's up y/n?" He said looking at me after a few minutes of silence, I took a deep breath and sighed. "I'm going to tell you why I moved back, how comes I have so much money and why I hate Christmas" I said looking him dead in the eye and he nodded.
