A flash and a wish

Chapter 1

Warning this is an IT (2017/2019) AU enjoy. also, they're in their twenties

it all started 4 months ago, when Richie and Eddie had seen a purple flash in the sky not long after making a wish to start a family. they had been denied by the adoption agency, again. they simply refused to let the gay couple have a child and it was really starting to upset them both. Eddie had started feeling sick. he HATED being sick. he was struggling. he upped his vitamins, stopped his useless meds, watched what he ate, and was super careful, but he was still vomiting at least 5 times a week for a month straight. they had invited the others over tonight. Ben and Bev had news. they had been sitting around waiting for the news for basically 3 hours.

"so...." Richie trailed. Bev sighed.

"so.... Ben and I were sitting down about 6 months ago and were just... talking. I can't have kids and we discussed wishing to be able to have kids. well, I said something along the lines of 'I wish I could get pregnant at just once' and we saw a pink flash. well, I'm five and a half months pregnant. I started getting really sick and we took a test just to try and.... I think it was the flash." Bev explained. the room looked at her, Eddie and Richie seeming to pale.

"oh fuck." Richie said.

"y-you're joking right? about the flash?" Eddie ask. the others looked at them confused.

"no. why?" Bev ask. Eddie felt sick.

"I'm gonna puke." Eddie said getting up quickly and running off.

"Eddie?" Bill ask. Richie bit his lip and sighed.

"about 4 and a half months ago Eddie and I got rejected by the adopt agency again... for the fourth time and we were giving up hope and there was talk of just not trying anymore because they're not going to adopt out to a gay couple and we were talking and I kinda wished that we could start a family and there was this huge flash of purple light...." Richie trailed, it was odd to see the usual trashmouth so uncomfortable and awkward.

"and trashmouth?" Ben ask.

"Eddie's been sick a lot since that night." Richie finally muttered. the room grew completely silent. not even the crickets were chirping outside now.

"you're joking. you have to be." Bev said.

"I really really wish I was, but he's been puking and super sickish for a while and you guys know Eddie doesn't just get sick." Richie said.

"well, there's one way to find out." Mike said.

"yeah hold on. I brought a box of tests just in case, I don't know, you guys didn't believe us." Bev said getting up. she headed outside to Bens car a brought a test in. she handed it to Richie.

"this is fucking stupid. he's a guy there's no fucking way..... right?" Richie ask.

"one way to find out." Bill said, nodding at him.

"great." Richie said. he got up and walked into the other room. the others couldn't hear Richie, but they could hear Eddie shrieking.

"I am not peeing on that thing!" Eddie hissed. "I don't care Richie! you fucking piss on it then!" Eddie shouted. "I swear to god if you don't get that away from me I'll break your fucking nose!" Eddie screamed. there was a loud crash and the losers flinched. a few minutes later Richie came back out and his nose was bleeding, he was holding his glasses in one hand and his nose in the other.

"I finally got him to take the test." Richie mumbled.

"geez Richie!" Bev shouted running over to help him.
