It's Always Been You [Eddie Munson]

5 months later

"God can you just get out of me." I groaned, lightly tapping my heavy pregnant belly, in my fifth month my stomach had fully popped out and looked as if it were an inflated balloon, one of the babies usually press down on my bladder making me pee every two minutes, i haven't even been drinking a lot of water yet there's always something, and if there wasn't anything it would feel as if i wanted to pee badly and when i sit down on the toilet absolutely nothing came, I've had the most stupid cravings that I've ever seen which concerned Eddie most of the time when he got home seeing me sat on the couch with a jar of peanut butter and carrots.

We had a baby shower with our friends and family who were extremely excited about the news, we still don't know the gender of the babies so for now everything had been gender neutral, yellow, white or green, only a couple of boy and girl clothing packed away, we had too much baby items than anticipated and the living room was now turned into a baby room, Eddie and i have been looking at other houses for a while but still haven't found the one that felt like home, we needed a house good enough to raise twins with a backyard and high security near good schools. "You're always late, first for your period then for your labor." Eddie grumbled, clearly exhausted and frustrated from my random mood swings that he had to live through, after each tantrum i immediately felt bad about it and apologized but he got used to it after a while and somehow started knowing when i would snap so he distanced himself, he just wanted to meet his kids and i was a week overdue, Steve bought me my first cordless phone and i was extremely thankful considering how pricey they were and i had the money to buy at least 20 but with twins,  we had to create a savings account any money left at the end of the month went straight to the savings account.

I had been off for work at least a week while Eddie started picking up extra shifts again so that we would have more money for the children because he feared their childhood wouldn't be comfortable and he wanted them to have it all, i admired how passionate he was about two babies he barely knew and haven't even met but my nerves were calmed knowing i could trust them with him and he wouldn't do the things my father did to me, Eddie was already madly in love with them, i doubt he'd let anyone lay a finger on them. "There's a two bedroom house to rent until bought at Lovers Lake." He grinned widely as he browsed the newspaper and i smiled at him, "We have to go check it out." I said excitedly, feeling one of the babies kick and i groaned while Eddie chuckled, "Even they're excited. " i shook my head as Eddie helped me get up from the couch, grabbing my purse.

"I'm just excited to get them out of me." I grumbled, poking at where the baby kicked me.

"It's everything I've ever wanted." I stared in awe at the house, it was beautiful, especially seeing it as the sun was setting, it was the last house on the end with brick walls, a dock onto the water, inside it had 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a garage for our cars, it wasn't much to pay aswell compared to what we were currently paying.

"You want it?" Eddie pulled me in by my waist and i nodded, this was definitely where i would be happy to die if i never made it out of Hawkins. "It's yours." He swung the bundle of keys infront of my face and i gasped, jumping up and down as i stared at them. "No fucking way you did it Munson." I hugged him tightly,  as tight as i could with the huge balloon blocking us.

"How are you holding up?" Nancy asked as she helped Eddie, Steve and Robin carry in the boxes from the truck we rented out. "Oh well you know,  these little beans won't budge beside when they decide to kick me so other than the annoying feeling of them pressing down on my bladder, i'm great." She gave me a sympathetic look as she carried the box inside, leaving me on the porch as i watched the group walk back and forth from the truck, my hand resting on my belly, i notice the shiny silver ring with a green emerald in the middle, a smile forming on my face once again as i remembered that i was now someone's fiance.
