My Brother's Best Friend

Goodbye (20)

⚠️TRIGGER WARNING‼️⚠️

I stood at the exit with Robin, and Vickie. Waiting for them to call Eddie's name. We've all already gone, and got our diploma. My cheeks hurt from smiling. We all graduated! Eddie, and I are getting married! We're 21 weeks pregnant, so only four more months until we meet our little man. My thumb rubbed my belly as I thought about life now, and the near future.
"Edward Beck Munson." Said principal Higgins.
"Oh god, not the government name." I groaned. The girls laughed.
Eddie walked across the stage, looked principal Higgins dead in the eyes, flipped him the bird, snatched his diploma out of his hands, and ran off the stage towards me. Everyone went crazy. He gently picked me up bridal style, and carried me out of the exit.
" '86 BABY!" We shouted. We then kissed as he continued to carry me. He wasn't taking me to his van though.
"Eds.. Where are you taking me?" I asked.
"Uh, to the bench in the woods. Duh. Gotta have one last session goofy." He replied.
"Eddie, I can't smoke!" I protested.
"Oh really? I didn't know that." He said sarcasticly.
We got to the bench, and there was a cooler, and plates on the bench.
"What did you do?" I asked as he sat me down.
"Figured we'd have one last snack here before we head to the graduation party." He said with a smirk.
"God I love you." I said as I watched him unload an assortment of fruit. We enjoyed the fruit, mainly him feeding it to me. We talked about starting on the nursery tomorrow, and pretty much our future. If anyone was here with us, they could feel the pure love radiating off of us.

Eddie parked the van in our driveway, and I looked at him confused.
"Why is everyone here so early?" I asked. He shrugged his shoulders, then got out, and came to help me out. He walked me to the door, and opened it for me. We walked into the living room, and everyone shouted surprised. I began to cry. It was a surprise baby shower.

"Guys!" I cried out. They all laughed at me. "Thank you so much! Who's idea was it?" I asked.
"The one, and only uncle Dustin!" Dustin said. "Everyone helped though, I just thought of it." He added, and we all laughed. Everyone is here. Literally. Joyce, Hopper, El, Will, Jonathan, Argyle, Dustin, his mom, Max, Wayne, obviously Gareth, Jeff, Tripp, and all of the Wheeler family. Everyone came to celebrate our baby.
I think out of everyone besides Eddie, Gareth, and I, Dustin is the most excited. He's basically Eddie's little brother so he's uncle Dustin. Everytime he's around me he's offering to do things for me, making sure I'm okay, and wanting to feel his baby nephew.
"So, have you guys chosen a name yet?" Joyce asked.
"It should be Dustin!" Dustin chimed in. We all laughed at him. "What!? It's a great name!" We all laughed again. Eddie came up behind me, and wrapped his arms around me. He gently rubbed my belly. I smiled up at him, and gave him a kiss.
"We have." We said. They all looked at us with suspense.
"It's Dustin Michael William Lucas Munson." I said. They all stared at us in shock. Max suddenly busted up laughing, making Eddie, and I join her.
"You guys are gullible. Obviously they're not naming their child that. They're too badass to do that. Obviously they have a badass name picked out, not a lame ass one." Max said.
"HEY!!" All four boys shouted. Everyone laughed.
"Okay fine, Max is right. That's not his name." I chuckled. "It's Gaara Beck Munson." I said, then Eddie kissed me. Everyone ooed, and awed.
"See, badass!" Max stated.
"That is badass!" Robin said, and everyone agreed.
"Wait, so like... does his name have like meaning.. or like what man? Cause that shit is too radical not to." Argyle said.
"Actually it does. Gaara means demigod I love." Eddie said.
"Well right on man!" Argyle said.
