Author's Narrative

Eddie had been woken up by Rowan's sniffles and whimpering. He looked down to find his baby asleep in his arms. Her back was against his bare chest and her legs pulled up into her own chest, letting the brunette curl around her.

"No, *sniffle* pl-please" she pauses to sniffle again, and, before she can speak again, she bursts into tears, sobbing so hard she was shaking. A sight and sound that made Eddie's heart break, and scared he won't be able to comfort her.

What he doesn't know is that his poor baby was having a nightmare; a really bad fucking nightmare. She was being taunted by the cheer team, about how Eddie left her for Chrissy as soon as she asked him on a date. Saying how Chrissy's much prettier and deserves him more than Ro does. She just had to sit and listen, fear and hatred taking over her body.

"Hey, woah, baby. Sweetheart, hey, it's okay, it's okay, your okay." He try's to coo. Seeing it not work, he starts to shake her, move her around; moving her out of the position she was in, pulling her legs and arms all around, trying to wake her up. But not scaring her while trying to wake her up is always a challenge, to say the least.

She woke up with a terrified gasp, moving her arms, trying to find her boyfriend. Before she can worry too much, he cradles her face in his hands, looking extremely worried about her.

"Baby, oh my gosh." Rowan says, as she leaps into his arms. He happily accepts the obviously needed hug.

"Sweetheart, are you okay? You were sobbing in your sleep and shaking and- and fuck you scared me, baby!" Eddie practically cries.

"I'm so sorry, my love. I had a nightmare, a really bad nightmare" Rowan cries to her boyfriend.

Eddie knew exactly what she needed; hot chocolate, cuddles, and loving. Maybeeee some hickeys, but that's if she lets him, he'll happily do that.

Of course, he'll happily do all of that stuff, he loves taking care of his baby. But he really loves marking his territory.

And he never jokes when he says 'I own you' and stuff like that, he does. She knows it, he knows it, Chrissy knows it, fuck- everyone knows it.

And they both love saying it.

Eddie says nothing as he picks her up, bridal style, and looks down at her, lovingly and eyes full of protection.

He'll do anything to make sure Rowan isn't in any kind pain for long, no matter the consequences for him or anyone around him.

He sets her down on the kitchen counter, going over to the pantry to get the mix, before he was stopped by tiny hands covered in the rings that were too small for his own fingers. Rowan had wrapped her arms around his bare upper torso, and was clinging onto him for dear life.

"Princess, I'm just going to get some hot chocolate mix, okay? I'll be right back, angel." He said, as he try's to pry her hands off his arms.

But her gorilla grip wasn't letting up. The one time her doing gymnastics failed him. Rowan had done gym since way before she can remember, and this made her more flexible than Eddie could even comprehend.
She could completely fold in half with ease.

She had to quit 2 years ago, when she was in the middle of a competition, in the air doing a back tuck, when, she didn't fully commit and fell straight on her back. Ripping all the air out of her lungs and puncturing them slightly. She's better now, and not having to worry bout that, but she couldn't do that again; too much trauma.
