It's Always Been You [Eddie Munson]

XXIX

3 months later

I paced around the kitchen, biting on my nails waiting for Eddie to get home, my hands were shaky as i paced back and forth, rehearsing different ways to tell him the information i just learned about, it wasn't part of the plan and quite shocking and i had absolutely no idea what to do or how he would react as i nervously stared at the calendar that was on the fridge when the front door opening made my eyes widened, rushing out the kitchen seeing a tired Eddie kicking out his shoes, his clothes were ruined and his eyes had dark circles under them so i decided not to tell him at this very moment besides it could wait. "Hi" i said softly and his eyes lit up when they landed on me, he immediately rushed over and melted in my arms, his shoulders slumped as he held onto me. "I'm so happy to see you." He breathed out, hugging me tighter and i chuckled, "Okay big guy, I'm happy to see you too." I squeezed him before letting him go, "What's for dinner?" He asked and i smirked, "Me." He glanced over at me, licking his lips and i chuckled. "I bought pizza and got some more of your favorite beer." He smiled at me before walking into the kitchen, "What would i do without you?"

I sat down on the couch and he came in a few minutes later with our plates and a beer for him, sitting down next to me he handed me my plate and i stared at the pizza before looking at him, "I'm late." i stated loudly and he frowned at me before looking up at the clock, "For what?" Confusion laced in his voice, "My period." His eyes widened and he started choking on his pizza, violently coughing as he put his plate down on the coffee table.

"What does this mean..." he trailed off looking at my stomach. "Are you?" He asked and i pursed my lips, only nodding in response, the room fell silent and he leaned forward to get the can of beer, opening it before taking a big sip. "Okay." He mumbled before taking his plate and started eating his pizza again. "What?" I asked genuinely not knowing what he meant with it, his tone didn't give any emotion either and neither did his silence. "If you're going to leave me it's okay, I'm making enough money to raise a kid but I'm keeping it." I muttered and he frowned, turning to look at me, "Leave you? Isabella i would never leave you, especially pregnant, was having a child on the agenda? No but it happened and it's my child too so you're stuck with me forever because of it, i just regret fucking you with a condom." He shrugged and i smiled at him, "How far along are you?" He asked, "Three months.." I trailed off and he gasped, "So we've been having protected sex all this time?" I laughed at his reaction and he put the plate down on the table, kissing my stomach before placing a kiss on my forehead. "Maybe it's for the best, it would be nice having a little mini us running around the house, we'll just have to move later on in the pregnancy for a house with two rooms." I was genuinely surprised by how supportive he was and how he accepted it.

Dinner was the same as always, only filled with small talk of eachother's day and the occasional mention of my little bean that i had growing inside of me, Eddie was more excited about the baby than i was, he mentioned so many things he wanted to get before the baby was born that i had to calm him down and remind him we had another six months.

"I'm still shocked at how you're pregnant, aren't you supposed to be getting bigger? If anything you're getting skinnier." He poked at my stomach as we layed on the bed. "Shutup and let me sleep." I grunted and he rolled his eyes, "I've met pregnant woman and some were very nice so don't even think about excusing your rudeness because of our child." He said cheekily and i huffed out, pulling the covers that he was laying on. "When did we have sex three months ago?" He asked which sparked the curious side of me and i sat up, "First one to remember is the winner." I grinned at him and he chuckled, using his fingers to count something. "The night we went to lovers lake or when we did it in your car." i inwardly cringed at the second memory, i climaxed but it was my least favorite spot to have sex and i would never attempt it again, my body was aching for a week after that.

"Oh god no, if this child was conceived in the car i don't even want to know." I chuckled and he laughed, throwing his head back. "It was an odd experience." he muttered and i nodded my head in agreement.

I turned around, scooting closer to him and he wrapped his arm around my waist, tickling my stomach. "Switch off the light please." i asked tiredly and he removed his hand from my waist as he got out of bed, the light going off a few seconds later and i smiled as the darkness consumed the room, Eddie's curtains were dark enough to block out the street light that was stood directly infront of the house. "Thank you." I muttered, feeling the bed dip as he came back, his arm around my waist as before, his hand resting ontop of my stomach. "Goodnight" He mumbled in the nape of my neck and i hummed,  "goodnight." was the last thing i mumbled before i fell asleep.

"The heartbeats are strong, they're strong and healthy babies." The nurse said as she showed where the babies were, "Heartbeats?" Both Eddie and I asked, our eyes wider than a plate. "Yes, I'm assuming the doctor told you before?" She asks, putting some more cold gel on my lower abdomen, with the stick pressed on my skin the heartbeats echoed in the empty room, i looked at Eddie, in utter shock that i had two human beings inside of me at this very moment. "Two?" My mouth was parted, gaping like a guppies as i stared at the screen with the two little babies on it. "Yes, twins." She smiled, her brow slightly raised at our shocked expressions. "There's only supposed to be one..." I said quietly, more to myself than anyone in the room, i glanced down at my stomach with tears in my eyes, i wasn't even ready for one child and now i had two, this was definitely not close to our plans. "It's okay we can do it." Eddie placed a hand on mine, a comforting smile on his face and i know he was just trying to support me and was just as shocked.

"You're four months along." She said as she switched the screen off, rubbing the gel off of my stomach before i pulled my shirt down, i had a little bump, like i had a small coconut inside of me. Eddie and i had only a month to adjust to the fact that we were getting a kid but now knowing that we're having two? It was definitely not going to be easy. "Thank you." I hopped off the table, Eddie holding onto my arm as he helped me get off, "I'm looking forward to seeing them grow." She shook our hands as we left the office, slowly making our way out the building and as soon as we got out Eddie pulled me in for a hug. "We got this." He mumbled into the top of my head, holding onto me tightly and i nodded, slowly accepting my fate.

"I don't know if i can do this." I muttered, holding onto his jacket and he shook his head, "I know you can do it okay, you're a strong woman and we'll figure it out as we go, we already have some things for baby number one so we can just get more, they can share a cot and most things it'll be okay." He sighed, his chin resting on my head. "You sure?" I asked and he nodded, "Positive, hopefully one of them is a boy so that he can learn how to play D&D or else I'm raising two bad ass girls." He smiled and i instantly felt better hearing him be so positive about it, at least one of us accepted the change.
