Meant to be / Eddie Munson

Chapter TwentyOne : here comes the baby

Monday 3rd March 1986

We got back from London yesterday and it was honestly one of the best weekends of my life, I ran into some of my old friends Jenna and Chloe and they spent time with us, showing us what's new since I left, we explained to Robin the plan for Steve & me and she found it hilarious. But truth is, me and Steve did genuinely get closer on the weekend trip.

Steve dropped off us to school right next to Eddie'a parking space and we waited for Eddie to come and he surely did with Rose. Me and Robin were chatting to Steve to make it look like suspicious that we was literally next to his spot. Eddie see us and was watching me I gave Robin the code word "pepper" god knows why but it just was for us to move out so she got out and I got out and lent through Steve's window but that Eddie could see us and I kissed him goodbye and walked off, pretending we hadn't noticed Eddie and Steve quickly sped off as me and Robin tried to keep our giggles to a minimum.

Of course I had English first with Eddie and Rose, I was just living life me. I even made a fake doodle page in my notebook with 'Steve' on it, it cringed me to my core but here we are. Eddie kept looking over at me but he wasn't just angry he was sad? And jealous? I shrugged it off and carried on with my day. I went through my classes and it finally hit lunch me&Robin walked close to the hellfire table and talked loud enough for them to hear "no but Steve on that trip was so good in bed, I can't believe it even happened" I giggled with Robin getting all 'hot and bothered' I could feel Eddie's eyes burning right through me.

*Eddie's POV*

I was sitting at the hellfire table replaying that kiss between Steve and Y/n in my head. When I see her and Robin walk past giggling I couldn't understand what they was saying until they got close enough "no but Steve on that trip was so good in bed, I can't believe it even happened" Y/n giggled and that sent anger right through me I couldn't stop staring at her. I know I was in no place to judge in her eyes me not turning up then must have hurt her for her to sleep with Steve Harrington, whilst she's carrying my daughter.

*Y/N's POV*

"He's so mad like he wasn't the one who betrayed you first?" Robin scoffed looking at him. "Honestly!" I scoffed back throwing my hands in the air. "I'm 22 weeks pregnant with his daughter and I've only experienced heartbreak over and over again! Like he doesn't need to be with me to be apart of his daughters life he knows this! So what is his deal! Is he scared to commit? Does he genuinely love to hurt me? Who knows" I roll my eyes as I felt a sharp pain in my stomach which caused tears "what the fuck is going on" I said to Robin who looked down and see water everywhere "y/n did your water just?" She looked at me stunned. "Time to be the school weirdo again!" I laughed "EDDDIEEEE" I screamed down the cafeteria in pain, which made him come running over "what? What's happening" he looked at me confused but worried. "My waters just broke! Get me hospital NOW" I yelled at him, he picked me up bridal style and carried me out the school when we bumped into Mr.Burke.

"Where you guys off to?" He asked puzzled. "Honestly sir I can't right now my water just broke I'm only 22 weeks pregnant and I'm in so much pain" I snapped at the teacher and he nodded allowing us to leave the school.

Eddie got us straight to the hospital and we got rushed in. My waters had indeed been broken and I was in labour and they couldn't stop it, but the baby was premature so there was little no chance the baby would survive.

Eddie stayed with me the rest of the day not leaving my side. Every time my dilation got checked he would hold my hand. He was crying at the fact we might lose our daughter and so was I.

They finally said I was dilated enough and I could start pushing, I was in labour for 6 hours and the birth took 20 minutes and we gave birth to our beautiful baby girl. We didn't get to hold her they took her straight to be checked over and helped.

They left me and Eddie alone after clearly me up and we sat there in silence. "I'm so sorry" I said tears falling down my face. "For what?" He said confused. "Not being able to carry our daughter long enough" I broke down. "Hey no, no don't be like that" he sighed sitting on the bed cuddling me.

"I called that Friday" I smiled slightly. "What?" He said softly. "I called Friday when at the airport, Rose answered I pretended to be someone else calling for Wayne." I said still smiling "you was Pete weren't you?" He sighed.

"Is that why you slept with Steve?" I burst out laughing at that question he looked confused "I never slept with Steve, we was just winding you up seen as you didn't come on holiday and made them waste $260" I giggled.

The doctors come through with our daughter in a little fishbowl like thing and brought her to us. "Here's your daughter" they said bringing her over "you can't hold her just yet as she's hooked up to all the machines but she's a little fighter and she's pulling through" the doctor said reassuring us. We both smiled as they asked if we had name "yeah she's Ellie Robin Munson" I smiled "that's a great name" the doctor said as he wrote her name down.

"You have a few visitors waiting so we'll leave her here for now to be seen but make sure no one holds her or touches her, we agreed and they sent everyone through, my mum, Dustin, Wayne, Robin and Steve... Steve seeing him made my face light up.

They all crowded Ellie whilst telling us how gorgeous she is. "Have you seen her name?" Steve nudged Robin towards it. "Oh my god! You named her after me!" She squealed jumping on me to hug "nah I just really like the bird" I teased.

Wayne and Mum hugged me whilst Dustin obsessed over the baby. Steve didn't say or do anything just congratulated us.
