Richie's POV
I rushed to the hospital after the message Eddie sent me.
"I need you here 😢"
Something bad happened, really bad.
I parked the car and ran to the front door, as soon as he saw me he ran into my arms crying.
"Shh... That's right... Let it all out." I said, hugging him tightly.
"He's dead, Richie..." Eddie said, sobbing. "Our son is dead."
I opened my mouth to say something, but I decided not to do it, I just held him and comforted him.
"He was just a baby!" Eddie said, breathing heavily.
"Here..." I said, giving him the inhaler.
"Thank you..." He said, putting it in his mouth and pulling the trigger.
"Hey..." I said, lifting his head. "He's in a better place now..." I said, holding back the tears.
Eddie closed his eyes and rested his head on my chest, crying.
"I'm sorry... It's my fault! We shouldn't adopt a kid!" He said, sobbing.
"Shhh... Don't be sorry, honey. It's not your fault... He needed us..." I said, kissing his head. "Do you want to sleep? I can handle thi-"
"No... I think I can... I can... do this." He said, pulling the inhaler trigger again.
"Are you sure?"
"Y-yes..."
"Okay. Let's go..." I said.
"I-I mean... I don't know..." He said.
"Honey..." I said, leading him to a chair, and we both sit down. "It's okay if you don't want to..."
"Okay?! Our son is dead, Richie! This is not "okay""
"I know..." I said, pulling him closer and hugging him tightly. "Honey, I know..." I said, crying.
"I'm sorry, I just... don't know what to do now!" He mumbled.
"Don't be sorry, Eddie... " I said, stroking his hair. "Let's go..."
"I can't see him like that" he said, sniffing.
"You won't... We will talk to the doctor..."
"Okay..." He said.
I tried to say something, but I decided not to do it again. I just lifted his head and looked at his pale and sad face.
"Aw..." I said, kissing him... "We can go through this, Eds... We can go through this..." I said.
"I'll try." He said, calmer. "You always have a way to calm me down... I love you..."
"Me too, honey..." I said, hugging him.
