Co-Parents - Shared Custody. Shared Secrets | An Eddie Munson & Reader Story

It started with a mistake.

A very, very drunken one-night stand at a graduation party in 1986 - the kind of night that should've been forgotten by morning. But then came two pink lines, and everything that should have stayed temporary became permanent.
By nineteen, you and Eddie Munson were parents. Not together - never together - just two kids trying to do right by the little girl who didn't ask for any of it.

Three years later, you've made it work. Sort of. One week with you, one week with him. Shared custody, shared responsibility, shared exhaustion. You've kept it functional, kept it polite - even when it hurt, even when it got complicated. Especially when one of you started to move on.
Because the truth is, you never stopped thinking about that night. Neither did he.
And lately, the boundaries you swore you'd never cross are starting to blur - the glances lasting too long, the goodnights coming too close, the silence between you heavy enough to feel dangerous.

You tell yourself it's wrong. You tell yourself Rory comes first. But love doesn't care about custody agreements, and guilt doesn't stop the way your heart beats when he's near.
Now the question isn't whether you still want him. It's whether you can survive what happens if you admit it.

Shared custody. Shared secrets.
A connection that refuses to stay buried - no matter the cost.
