Peddie- Seven years is a long time

This is what it takes

Patricia's POV - 6 days until the wedding

"What in the Anubis happened here?"

"Alfie? Jerome? Anyone?" Amber is attempting to whisper but in all honesty, she's just screeching quietly. "Okay, okay. I'll explain. It's not that bad anyway" Alfie says with excessive hand gestures. Wrong thing to say Alfie. "Not that bad? Not that bad? Are you kidding me? Alfie-" I quickly shush her. "Let him explain first" She sighs, obviously unimpressed.
"Okay, so, Brooke said she should leave and like, no one wanted her to leave so we all started trying to get her to stay and-" Alfie was abruptly cut off. "Excuse me Alfie Lewis! If I remember correctly, I was persuading Brooke to stay." She huffs before wincing. "Alright, technically that's true" Jerome mumbles. "What happened next Willow?" Joy asks carefully. "I went to follow Brooke up stairs when I slipped. I went to grab the side of the table but I accidentally pulled the table cloth off instead" She sighs.
"Then all the wedding glasses fell and Willow half landed on them" Adam finishes.

I wince involuntarily. 

"That doesn't explain Fabian or Mara and Piper...Hi guys by the way" I immediately notice how Mara is now sporting a small bump. That'll be me soon. I smile slightly. Amber looks on expectantly. "Fabian went to help Adam with Willow and he accidentally cut his arm" Nina says quietly. "Apparently, Fabian isn't the bigger fan of blood because he pretty much immediately fainted over here" she says watching him. Nina may act the way she does sometimes but she really does love Fabian, no matter what anyone else thinks.

"KT is ringing an ambulance" Brooke says, eyes cast downwards. "Actually, they said if glass is stuck in Willows arm, just take her to A&E and Fabian will be fine but if he's sick later, take him to the hospital" KT says, almost embarrassed. "I'll take her now" Adam says before kissing the side of her head.

Once they've gone, I get to work cleaning the blood up whilst Mara and Piper get settled upstairs. "Woah, Yacker! I'll do that!" Eddie exclaims running up to me. " I stand, hands on hips. "Why?" I ask. "Because you're pregnant now" he says "and you hate cleaning, so it's an excuse not to do any for 9 months" he adds, he clearly knows me. "No, I can do it" I say determined. "Come on, let me look after you" he says pulling me to him. He goes to kiss me but I turn away. He looks hurt. "I'd rather not kiss whilst covered in other people's blood" he laughs and I smile before handing him my cleaning supplies. He smirks at me. I guess I can make some compromises.

The next morning

I'm lying on my back, staring at the plain ceiling. Eddie is asleep next to me. I don't want to bother him. I shouldn't. "Eddie?" Never mind. It's was inevitable. "Hmm" is his muffled reply. "Do you- I mean...do you think it will be okay? I mean, will we be okay? With a baby and stuff? I mean it's a human life that we have to look after and I don't think I'm ready. Are you ready? I just don't know if I can do this" I can feel it before I know it's coming. I bolt upright and run for the bathroom. Morning sickness. Probably some form of karma. Once I'm finished, I clean up and head back into the bedroom. I notice Eddie is still sound asleep. He didn't hear me, that's probably for the best.

Eddies POV

I heard her. Every word. If I'm honest, I'm scared and I don't think I'm ready but I've got to be supportive of her or we're going to go down in flames. We'll be okay, as long as I keep my mouth shut. I'm not ready, who ever is?
If that's what is takes, I'll be quiet and supportive, exactly like a husband.
