(In this AU, the Pennywise incident never happened, but Stanley did commit. Their son is 7 years old. Also, they live in a town around 2 hours away from Derry. It's 5:30 at the beginning of the story)
<I also apologize for all the time skips i need to hurry the story on lmao>"Daddy! Daddy!" The little boy tugged on Eddie's shirt. "I see, baby. Go make sure your papa is still asleep, we need to surprise him for his Birthday!" Eddie smiled, watching the boy leave the room and picking up his keys. The little one ran out of the room and smiled at Eddie. "He's asleep daddy, cmon, cmon!" Eddie smiled as the baby sat in the couch. "I'll be right back, Stanley. Stay here." Stanley sat on the couch and looked on the TV, that was playing The Bee Movie. Eddie walked to the back to be met with his husband sleeping.
5:45am•"We need to get him apple pie, daddy! It's his favorite!" Stanley pointed at the menu. Eddie smiled and ordered a handheld apple pie from the woman on top of their previous order. When they got the food, Stanley dragged his dad back to the car. "Come on! We have to get the cake before Daddy wakes up! Come on!" He yelled, pulling Eddie's finger back to the car.
Both of them got buckled up and drove to the bakery. They retrieved their cake. It was green with the words "Happy Birthday Richie/Papa!" It had a small drawing on it that Stanley made, and they printed it on the cake. It was a picture of the three of them holding hands. (A/n: You guys know the little potato people that kids draw with the circle bodies and the arms and legs? that's what i'm talking abt).
6:00am• Eddie and Stanley sneak back into the house to see Richie standing in the kitchen on his phone. "Hey, honey." Eddie said, rubbing Richie's lower back, kissing him quickly. Stanley stuck out his tongue in disgust before sitting at the table, eating his food. Eddie placed down his stuff and turned back to Richie. Richie placed his hands on Eddie's waist and brought Eddie closer.
"Happy birthday, love." Eddie said quietly to Richie. "I'm gonna drop Stan off at Bev and Ben's house, and we are gonna make a small trip okay? we are gonna go for a few hours and then come back tomorrow. It's a bit of a long drive." Richie nodded and smiled. "Okay sweetheart. And thank you. I can't wait for our trip." Richie placed a longer kiss to Eddie's lips, placing his hands on his cheeks. "I love you." Eddie said ruffling Richie's hair.
6:30am• When they arrived to Bev and Bens house, Stan jumped out of the car and ran to his aunt. "Aunt Bevvy!" Stan yelled, running to Beverly and hugging her leg. "Hey kid! Give Uncle Ben a hug, I gotta talk to Daddy and Papa okay?" Beverly walked to Richie and Eddie who were holding hands and talking amongst themselves. "Hey, i'm keeping him until tomorrow right?" Eddie smiled and nodded. "Yup! I'm gonna take this big cutie somewhere he's gonna love." Beverly smiled at them. "Okay, lovebirds. Get going! We are gonna take this cutie inside."
Eddie and Richie both hugged Beverly and Ben. "Thank you so much guys, I can't even show how much this means to me." Beverly pats Eddie's shoulder and smiles. "It's all good, babes. We got it from here. Now you guys enjoy yourselves!"
7:00am• "Sooo, baby-doll, where are we going?" Richie wiggled his eyebrows at Eddie, who rolled his eyes and focused on the road. "You'll see when we get there." When traffic got bad, Eddie began to tap nervously on the steering wheel and hum a song that always calmed him down. The song that he and Richie danced to the night of their senior prom, and the night Richie confessed to him and told him he loved him.
"I got you babe.." Eddie sang quietly. Richie's placed a comforting hand on Eddie's thigh. "Hey what's wrong?" Richie asked, dragging his thumb up and down, trying to soothe his husband. "The traffic just makes me nervous. It's okay. I'll be fine. It's your day." Eddie rambled. Richie rubbed Eddie's thigh and soothed him through the traffic and back to where he can see again. "There ya go! I got you, babe." Richie winked and laughed at Eddie's expression.
9:10am• They finally arrived and Richie was sleeping soundly. Eddie pulled onto a bridge and parked the car. "Sweetheart...We are here." He said softly to the snoring man. "Baby.." He tapped him. Richie woke up and looked around him. "Are we in Derry?" Richie asked. Eddie smiled got out of the car. "Come here, baby. I want to look at something. I have a surprise for you in a few though." Eddie walked to the middle of the bridge and began to look. Suddenly he called Richie over and smiled. A faded R+E was written in the wood. "Look baby! you remember that?"
9:25am• Eddie pulled over into the entrance of the Quarry. 40 years and it still looked the same. Not tampered with or anything. Eddie turned off the car and got out. "Eds, I don't have a swim suit. And as much as I would love to see your cute butt I would rather you not swim with nothing on." Eddie blushed and laughed. "We aren't swimming, love. I have something else planned." They walked into the trees, and pushed branches out of the way.
They finally got to the ledge that they would always go to when they were kids. Mike Hanlon was standing there holding a sign that said "Welcome home, losers!" Richie laughed and ran to give his old friend a hug. "Mike! What's up man! It's been like...two years? You didn't tell me about this when we were on FaceTime yesterday!"
Mike smiled and hugged Richie back. "Yeah, I promised Eddie I would help out and keep it a secret. I have to go now, I need to get back to the library. We can hang out later if you want." Mike said, putting his hands in his pockets and beginning to walk away. "Don't have too much fun!" Mike got in his car and drove away. Richie blushed. They sat down on the blanket covering the rock and Richie picked up his champagne glass. "Thank you so much, love. I really appreciate this." Richie hugged Eddie tightly. "I love you so much. So, So much.
Richie and Eddie held each-other close for a few seconds before Eddie got up and sat in Richie's lap facing him. "Hey, handsome." Eddie winked, making Richie blush and put his face in Eddie's shirt. "Stopppp." Richie whined, a bit muffled. Eddie giggled and pulled Richie's face up, and kissed him. Richie pulled back with a goofy grin and bright pink blush on his cheeks. "God, Eds. You make me feel 18 again." Eddie kissed him again and pulled away. "I love you so much. Happy birthday, Rich."
They went the rest of the night with light kisses, conversations and permanent smiles.
