A Very Murphy Christmas | The Date Series Standalone
Masterlist | TDS | Divider by @/saradika-graphics
A Very Murphy Christmas.
The squealing from the lounge was a sure sign Cillian was doing something to entertain Phee and Albie. They'd been out all day, meeting family at the Christmas tree farm, Cillian's sisters, his brother, all the in-laws and children all gathered for a new family tradition.
Albie was old enough to understand Christmas and Santa a bit more, Phee was fully invested in the season with a lot of subtle encouragement from Eden. Cillian had even started with the Elf on the Shelf.
Eden knew he'd been kicking himself in a few days when he had to get up at the break of dawn to make some elaborate mess in one of the rooms or sort out a carefully constructed trick before bed.
She'd warned him she wasn't getting involved, Princess Sparkles and Ned were firmly in his control for the next four weeks.
Coming through to lounge with the promised hot chocolate for Phee and a warm milk for Albie she stopped in the doorway, both children in last year's Christmas pyjamas, Phee finally fitting into them and Albie outgrowing his.
Cillian stood in front of them, a hairband with reindeer antlers plonked on to Scout's head, his tongue lolling from his mouth, tail thumping on the floor as he looked up at Cillian.
“Daddy said Santa comes down the chimeney” Phee gasped as Eden helped her take a sip of her chocolate, Cillian took the milk from her.
Eden steadied the cup in Phee's hand “well that's very silly because we don't have a chimney” she gave Cillian a look as she removed the antlers from Scout's head.
Scout shook himself gratefully, before retreating to his bed for some peace.
Cillian shrugged “we can leave him a magical key for the door” he suggested “no! That's danger” Phee giggled, kicking her feet. “It's only a key for Santa” Cillian explained “it disappears after he's dropped off the presents” he wiped some milk from Albie's chin with the sleeve of his top.
“I think that would be okay” Phee smiled looking up at Cillian with a hot chocolate smeared grin. “Grand, I'll put in the request” Cillian bent down, dropping a kiss to the top of her head.
“Dada, dada” Albie chanted his milk sloshing out of the plastic cup, “one for you my boy” he swooped down to kiss his chubby cheek.
Eden looked at him with a grin, “one for my wife” he pressed a kiss to her lips she tasted sweet like the chocolate she'd stolen from Phee's cup “maybe you can sit on my lap later” he muttered against her ear.
Eden squeezed his arm “behave or no presents for you” she pecked his cheek.
-
Phee had picked the story for bedtime, Cillian in the middle of them in her bed. Eden had taken up bedtime drinks and left them to it, they had her for most bedtime stories so having some time alone with Cillian was their favourite treat.
Cillian appeared twenty minutes later, the baby monitor on the coffee table, still using it for Albie who was a light sleeper. “Who knew the night before Christmas was so dull” he yawned, “fall asleep?” Eden smirked.
He climbed onto the sofa, Scout moving to the end as he did. Cillian rested his head on her lap, arms crossed as he nodded “Phee convinced Albie to climb on me to wake me up” he sighed.
Eden ran her fingers through his hair, massaging against his scalp “don't make me fall asleep here” he looked up at her.
“We could go to bed” Eden suggested, hands moving to massage against his shoulder he leaned into her touch, “to sleep?” He asked, Eden laughed lightly.
“Well maybe after what I had planned” she giggled lightly, fingers pushing under the hem of his top “want to sit on someone's lap” she hummed.
Cillian smirked, “Oh, have you been a good girl?” Eden threw her head back with a laugh “I've tried” she spluttered as Cillian laughed with her, “we can't do that”
“We really can't, I can't take it seriously” Eden linked her fingers with his “I'm also shattered and I've got those bloody elves to sort out” he huffed.
Eden smiled “you didn't have to start it you do know this is now going to happen every Christmas until they no longer believe”
Cillian groaned, “you didn't try to stop me” Eden gasped squeezing his hand “I did, on numerous occasions but you decided to do it anyway”
“Ahh sure that does sound like me” he smirked, Eden raised her brow shaking her head at him, “right you sort out the naughty elves and I'm having a shower. Meet you in bed?” She asked as he sat up.
“Yes, stay awake for me” he pressed a kiss to her lips, finger hooked under her chin “because I do like the sound of you sitting on my lap” he muttered against her mouth, her arms slung loose over his shoulders “I think I can stay awake for that” she nipped at his bottom lip.
“Don't forget to let him out and his bedtime treat” Eden reminded Cillian, as she walked past Scout ruffling his fur and blowing him a kiss “I won't” Cillian called after her.
-
Eden had got into bed before Cillian, she'd popped her head over the banister to hear some banging and a few choice words from the kitchen.
Deciding to retreat to bed and stay out of the way.
The muffled sound of the baby monitor crackling into motion was her sign to leave bed, padding down the hall to Albie's room.
He was sitting up in his small bed, his blanket on the floor “blank blank” he pouted, Eden grabbed it before she sat on the edge of his bed “right here darling” she smiled, handing it over.
Albie snuggled into it, as Eden stroked his hair from his forehead “going back to sleep for me?” She asked softly, he nodded arms open for her.
She pulled him closer to her, rocking him gently, he was quickly back asleep, Eden laying him down and tucking him in, flicking his night light back on, creeping from the room.
Checking in on Ophelia, she smiled at her sprawled across the bed snoring softly.
Cillian was in their bed when she entered the room “Albie dropped his blanket” she explained, making her way over to him.
He nodded, letting her settle on his lap, hands cupping at her bum, the comfortable silence between them as they looked at each other.
Cillian broke eye contact first, lips finding the spot he knew so well against her neck. Hands squeezing at her bum, she sighed contently as he worked at her neck, her fingers pushing into his hair.
“Cill” she laughed lightly pulling her hand away from his hair. He looked up at her, lips still against her neck “why have you got honey in your hair?” She cracked up, the laugh rippling through her.
“Fucking Elves” he tutted, hand finding the sticky patch with a groan.

Masterlist | TDS
The Tension P2 - March 2023. Part Twenty - Nine
Cillian had settled back into filming life. He'd had a break between Oppenheimer and the start of Small Things like these. Family life had refreshed him, reminded him that even in the midst of celebrity chaos he was still a husband and dad.
He had a small apartment in Inistioge for a few weeks of more intense filming days, but being away felt lighter this time round, Eden could drive down to New Ross for a weekend with Ophelia and Albie and he could go home when the schedule was less demanding.
“Come in” he called to the person behind his trailer door, thinking it was Lyndsay, Kelly popped her head round “ah sorry thought you were Lynd” he smiled at Enda’s new assistant, “oh sorry Cill, just Enda was wondering if you were free for a while? Wanted to talk some bits over with you?” She stood awkwardly in his doorway.
Cillian nodded “yeah sure, don't stand there awkward like, come in” he laughed, “it's fine, I'm heading on break. He's in the main house” Kelly turned to leave again “couldn't grab me a coffee could you?” Cillian asked, opening his wallet for some cash, Kelly touched his hand lightly “I'll put it on the card” she smiled.
“Ah grand, thanks love” Cillian returned her smile, “I'll walk that way with you” he shoved his phone in his pocket heading out the door.
-
Cillian was enjoying working with Enda and Eileen again, it made the heavy subject of the film less overbearing having old friends with him. Eileen had organised dinner for one of the free evenings, a big table booked out in the local pub.
Cillian was sitting in between Kelly and Lyndsay, “you've got the rolling stone photoshoot and interview tomorrow, so don't have too much red wine” Lyndsay laughed, placing a glass of water next to his wine glass. Cillian laughed “my second wife sometimes Lynds” Lyndsay rolled her eyes “I know Eden would have told you the same thing on the phone earlier” she nudged him with her elbow for being cheeky.
Kelly turned to him “you're married then?” she asked, Cillian turned to face her “yeah nearly ten years” he watched her smile falter before she quickly nodded “Eden deserves a bloody medal” Enda laughed from across the table “ah there's worse things than being married to Cillian Murphy” Eileen joined in “well you would know” Cillian shot back, “but she does deserve a medal” he laughed “me and two kids bloody nightmare” he added making his friends laugh.
A few hours later Cillian was at the bar getting the round of drinks in, Kelly next to him “thought I'd help” she smiled, he nodded “Enda is going to accuse me of stealing his assistant” he laughed lightly, she bumped his hip with hers “just being useful” she pushed her hair over her shoulder “just don't tell Lyndsay I'm having a Guinness, she send me off to bed” he lent close to her to whisper it.
Kelly bit at her lip “don't want that do we” she hummed as the bartender placed the card machine in front of Cillian, he frowned slightly before shaking it off, they'd all had a few drinks it was nothing.
-
The next day Cillian was grateful for the makeup artist covering his sleep deprived under eye and the dark sunglasses styled into the photoshoot. Lyndsay had given him a knowing look as soon as he had slipped into the car next to her “I told you” she muttered, Cillian waved her remark off resting his head back “I'll never learn” he sighed.
‘Lyndsay sent me a few sneaky shots from rolling stone and I'm so ready for you to get home x’
Cillian couldn't help the grin on his face as he read Eden's message, he was missing them all but he was missing Eden's presence the most. Of course he missed Phee and Albie being away from them was the hardest thing he'd ever experienced but he missed Eden's touch and her comforting energy.
'I'll bring the leather trench home then? x’
Her text flew back instantly ‘Husband! There was a leather trench? 🔥x’
‘Oh Lynds didn't send you that one huh? x’
‘No. Lemme see it please 🥺 x’
God he loved her she was his biggest supporter always ready to boost his ego, he scrolled through the test shots finding the one he'd mentioned.
‘This..
‘Ok, okkkk somebody better sedate me because 🫠x’
‘Ahhh baby, missing you can’t wait to plan some time together x’
‘Missing you, think it's because you're closer this time, it's teasing me x’
‘I'd like to be teasing you right now x’
‘Cill! Don't start, Phee’s in the bed x’
‘Ah love I'll behave then. Phee ok?x’
‘Wish you didn't have to! Yeah she misses her daddy, she's currently wearing daddy's T-shirt had a few tears x’
‘Maybe another night? Awe my baby girl miss her as well!x’
'I'll hold you to that Murphy! She's finally asleep so I better get some sleep as well. I love you & miss you x’
‘Please do! Ok love, sleep well. Love you & miss you darling xx
-
Eden had been up all night with Albie having a fever, Ophelia was extra clingy and she was definitely having the worst mum day of her life. She was close to tears of exhaustion, Albie had finally fallen asleep but she was on edge constantly trying to monitor his fever.
Her phone vibrating across the coffee table jolted her from a quick nap, Cillian's Mums name on the screen.
“Hello Eden, just wanted to check in” her soft Irish accent floated down the line. “Oh Mary, thank you. We had a bit of a night. Albie has a fever and Phee has become clingy” she sighed, “oh dear, i know we're not just down the road but I can get Bernard to drive us over, we could always stay a few days?” She suggested.
Eden felt the tears well in her eyes “you don't have to do that, we can muddle through” she tried to keep her voice steady “Eden, we would love to come over and help. No use struggling through when we can come take a load off” she reassured her.
Eden let a small hiccup slip out “I would really love that” she confessed, wiping at her eyes “then it's settled, we will be with you this afternoon” Mary confirmed, making Eden relax a little “thank you so much Mary” she was so blessed to have Cillian's parents around.
Her own mother hadn't called to just check in, in over a year maybe longer. She hadn't even made it over for Albies birth which was probably a blessing considering the thought of her being unable to travel out of Ireland for five months filled Eden with dread. The two weeks she was around when Ophelia was born was enough to confirm her move to Ireland was justified.-
Summary: a fluffy little Drabble that I found in my drafts for the love birds Cill & Eden.
You don't need to be caught up on the main series! This can be enjoyed alone!
No warnings they're just being fluffy and cute 🤭🥰

3 Weeks
He'd been away for three weeks, Eden had been fine. It was still casual, still early on but three weeks without him had felt strange in a way.
Cillian slipped through the heavy door as soon as the buzzer sounded. He took the stairs two at a time, making his way to the top floor, the stairwell quiet at this hour letting him slip through the halls unnoticed.
There she was waiting at the door for him, one of his T-shirts chucked over pyjamas to fend off the early morning chill.
“You got here quick” she hummed, as he took her hand to pull her into the apartment “couldn't sleep, was waiting for your message” he admitted with a shrug.
Eden nodded knowingly, heading straight for her bedroom back to the warmth of her bed. She wasn't quite sure why she was holding off taking things further than casual.
She wasn't sure life in the public eye was for her, but three weeks apart had shown her that being without him would be worse.
“When did you get back?” Eden asked, Cillian pulled her into him, his lips pressed to hers.
“Just a while ago” he smiled, stripping down to his boxers as she slipped under the bed covers. “I missed you” she hummed as he joined her in bed, she immediately moved into his side.
“Missed you too, had a few things to sort before I came over” he lifted her chin up “I know” she smiled as he kissed her softly.
She pulled away “wasn't fishing for information” she added, Cillian shrugged “ah you're grand love, want you to know what's going on” he lifted his arm so she could curl back into his side.
“How's work been?” He asked, she looked up at him, her head on his chest “yeah not bad, Sarah is looking into moving me to another department for progression”
Cillian nodded, licking at his lips before he spoke “you want that?” She linked her fingers through his “yeah, I think so” she sighed. “Then do it” He nodded, sitting up.
Eden watched him as he bit at his lip, she could tell he was thinking something over “what is it?” She giggled, “want to be my well I guess girlfriend” he laughed slightly “do people in their thirties have girlfriends?”
She sat up, her hand on his thigh “yes of course” she moved to sit on his lap, Cillian let out a breath “you do?” He asked, Eden laughed, cupping his face in her hands.“Never been so sure of anything before, I'm ready” she bit at her bottom lip.
She watched as the massive grin spread onto his face “me too” He agreed linking their fingers again, she nodded “You've been so patient with me, so caring”
Cillian nudged his nose against hers “you deserve all that and more” he stated the smile on her face growing as he moved to kiss her.

The Second Birth - Twenty-Five
Eden couldn't believe she'd let him get her like this again, let him get her pregnant again, he'd evidently remembered all his encouragement from the first time and had wheeled it back out, apparently being a cheerleader was in his remit.
“Cillian, I am going to need you to shut up” she hissed, the contraction tugging across her stomach, her gaze burning into the side of his head. “Ah Edes, I'm just trying to help” he mumbled like a petulant child.
Her grip tightened on his hand “silence, silence will help me” she groaned as the feeling to push took over, Cillian pushed her damp hair off her forehead “don't touch me” she wailed, tears streaming down her cheeks.
“Touching me is how I got into this state” she was being unreasonable, he was only trying to help but dear god whoever told her the second time was easier was a liar.
Cillian slumped back in the chair, his hand numb, god he was exhausted, he stifled a yawn “sorry am I keeping you up?” Eden snapped as she fell back against the cushions.
Cillian ran his free hand over his face, shaking his head to wake himself up “no, just feckin yawned” he stated, her cries of pain filling the room, minutes later she was back to snapping at him “yes sorry Cillian I forgot how hard this is on you on your body” she bit at him.
“Ok, Eden slow pushes and panting” her midwife instructed, Eden sighed shuffling her bum to get a better position before bearing down into the bed. “I can't” she sobbed, exhaling the breath she'd just held in,.
Cillian stood up daring to speak “you can darling, it's almost the end” he hummed, grabbing the cup of water on her bedside helping her sip from the straw.
“Cill, I can't please I can't” she threw her head back in despair, Cillian pressed a kiss to her sweaty forehead “Edes, you have too” he knew that was going to cause her more distress but what else could he say.
“I wouldn't have to if you hadn't knocked me up” she spat, Cillian bit his lip trying not to laugh as he caught the midwives eye “you weren't complaining at the time, love” he teased, she was already mad at him he had nothing to lose.
She threw him a look one he was sure could have killed him, “you're going to get neutered” she huffed, Cillian couldn't help it this time he laughed head thrown back “not a dog, love but I understand”
-
Eden was laying back in the bed, fresh sheets and a new nightgown on, their newest arrival on her chest. Cillian sat at her side, his finger stroking across the soft skin of his son's cheek.
As soon as he'd been placed in Eden's arms the air in the room had settled, she was no longer cursing Cillian, she was grabbing for him to hold her and their son.
“What about Hamlet? To go with Ophelia?” He asked with a serious look on his face. Eden flicked a look at him, drawing in a deep steadying breath, who had made her husband such a comedian in the last two hours, she wanted to talk to them.
“Cill” she sighed, trying not to snap at him “I love you but you're getting on my last nerve” Cillian grinned at her “ah love I was joking, but maybe I should go collect Phee?” He suggested.
Eden nodded, tilting her face to indicate she wanted a kiss, pressing one to her lips he pulled back, kissing his fingers to press them against the baby's cheek “look after your mam while I'm gone son” he smiled
Eden laughed lightly, she knew even though he hadn't said it out loud he was hoping for a boy. “We need to think of a name” she called at his retreating back “so Hamlet is off the list?” He chuckled hand on the door “it was never on the list” she retorted.
“I'll see what Phee wants” he gave her another smile before he left, Eden groaned she wasn't sure if that would be much better.
-
Days later when Eden was home from the hospital, their new baby was currently going by the name Baby Murph, Cillian had been trying his hardest to coax Phee into calling him Hamlet as a joke but her choice was ‘boy’.
“Hello boy!” she giggled crawling up the bed, her hair a mess, the crease of the pillow on her cheek. Heading for Eden and the baby, Cillian was stood in the doorway, a cup of coffee in his hand “Cill we really need a name for him” she sighed casting a look over at him, he looked ridiculous in his boxers and socks, his hair all over the place and his own pillow creased cheek.
“Dada said Ham-ley” Ophelia giggled again, Cillian joined them on the bed, Eden took his coffee having her own sip “I said Hamlet” he laughed pulling Ophelia onto his lap. Eden handed him back his coffee “Cill, please” she felt fragile and exhausted.
Cillian nodded "We will, he's not going to be ham forever” Cillian laughed tickling at Ophelia’s sides, Eden felt the rush of tears “he can't be a ham! Cill this is serious” she sobbed, Cillian pulled her into his side cradling her head against him “Hey, he's not going to be a ham, we'll figure it out” he soothed her.
She pulled back “but we knew with Ophelia straight away” she wailed, rubbing at her eyes “we did yes but that doesn't mean we won't know with him” he squeezed her shoulder, “Mama, sad” Ophelia cupped at her face.
Cillian took baby Murphy from her as Ophelia climbed onto her lap wiping her small hands across her face “No baby, just sleepy” she smiled, wiping at her eyes with the sleeve of her pyjama top.
Cillian kissed her cheek “I'll stop telling Phee to say Hamlet, well hamley and we can have a proper think about it?” He asked, Eden nodded. “Go get a shower and I’ll sort breakfast” he patted her knee.
"I expressed some milk early this morning, its in the fridge” she smiled, kissing Ophelia’s cheek “Go make sure Daddy makes baby’s bottle correctly” she joked.
Ophelia nodded “yes mama, come on dada we need to feed baby” she instructed, Cillian laughed making sure Baby was safe on the bed as he got up grabbing his lounge bottoms.
-
Eden felt lighter than she had in the past week as Cillian closed his laptop, finally baby boy Murphy had a name. Eden stroked her hand over the top of his head where he was laying against her chest.
Baby Albie Murphy had been registered.
“How are we breaking the news to Phee that he's no longer baby boy or ham?” Cillian joked as he sat back against the sofa, Eden needed to feed Albie so she got herself comfortable next to Cillian, “I'm sure daddy will be able to find away” Eden laughed.
Cillian nudged her "hey, we're a team” he hummed “yes but daddy is more magic than mammy” Eden grinned, as she positioned Albie towards her breast, he quickly latched on.
Cillian watched her his head turned on the sofa cushions “I'm so fucking happy I get to do all this with you” he hummed, Eden gave him a look “oh god have the hormones got you too?” She giggled.
Cillian ran a hand over his face “leave off” he laughed, “I just mean it's fucking magic isn't it?” he continued, Eden smiled "no one else I'd want to be doing this with" she admitted, moving into his side resting her head on his shoulder as Albie fed.
“Get some rest love, I’ll mind you both” he hummed, dropping a kiss to the top of her head. Ophelia was down for a nap, even though they had been trying to get her out of them, with a newborn the break was needed.
-
“We registered baby brother today, so he's a real human” Cillian explained to Ophelia as he lent over the bath, Eden on the small stool Albie sleeping in her arms. “Which means we had to tell the lady his name” he carried on, flicking some bubbles at her she squealed in delight as she listened to him “baby boy” she exclaimed.
“No darling, we thought he needed a proper name like you” Cillian smiled, “I'm fifi” she grinned, splashing in the water, “you are, and baby brother is called Albie” he pushed her hair from her forehead, she turned to Eden a confused look on her face “A-Bee?” She questioned, Eden nodded “Yes baby Albie and big sister Ophelia”
She shook her head, “hamlet!” She grinned, Cillian bit his lip to stop the laughter, finally after all his hard work she had got it right.

Anon, asked for more Tommy & Wren
Dog Days - Dad!Tommy x Wren | moodboard by me
“Daddy” her voice broke his concentration “Yes, Wren?” Tommy asked, eyes flicking from his laptop, she stood in the middle of the room, still in her school uniform.
They’d been home forty minutes and she’d headed straight to the kitchen in search of a snack, Tommy calling behind her to change out of her uniform and put it in the hamper. Which had obviously fallen on deaf ears.
Wren shuffled from foot to foot, “Can we get a dog?” She asked with a hopeful smile on her face “you've got two horses, why do you need a dog, eh?” He questioned, She pouted at him “I can't bring my horse into the house can I?” She rolled her eyes.
He couldn't believe their little baby was now thirteen and old enough to answer him back “I can't see Frances agreeing to that, no” he smirked. “So a dog?” She asked again, Tommy sat back in his chair “I'll speak to your mum, what did I say about your uniform?” he questioned.
Wren rolled her eyes “dad” she huffed, Tommy shook his head “Polly Wren, uniform in the hamper, have you any homework this weekend?” Wren nodded her head, her bottom lip jutting out, he knew she was about to turn on the waterworks.
Tommy sighed, homework was a bone of contention in this house ever since secondary school started two years ago “Go get it and do it in here” he moved some paperwork from the side of his desk “but you'll think about the dog, yes?” She asked “I said I'd talk to mum, get changed and then homework please” he watched as she fixed him with a look.
He knew it was impossible for her to look anything like either of them but in rare moments she resembled Nell so much it was hard to believe she wasn't biologically theirs.
“What's tonight's homework then?” He asked as Wren slumped in the chair next to him “Science” she sighed opening her book. Finally changed from her uniform, he knew he’d find it on her bedroom floor as a sign of defiance against him.
Tommy loved being a dad but schoolwork was beyond him. “Uncle Finn tried to help yesterday” she was flicking through the textbook “oh yeah? And what does uncle Finn know about Science, eh?” Tommy asked, amused by his younger brother trying to help when he had only scraped through his exams.
Wren caught his eye, a smile on her face “Nothing” she smirked, Tommy laughed “thought so, we'll have a go and if you're stuck there's google to help us” he nudged her with his elbow “don't tell mum though” he added.
Wren took the opportunity to make a deal with him “if I can have a dog” she grinned.

The Second Birthday | Part Twenty-Seven
“When is daddy home?” Ophelia huffed as she sat on the sofa in the dining area of the kitchen, Eden was bent over a cake trying to decorate it for Albie, his second birthday had rolled round quickly. Cillian had told her to order one from the bakery in Dublin but she'd refused, she wanted to make his cake just like she had Ophelia's.
“Two months, baby” she sighed standing up straight, stretching her back “not for Albie’s birthday?” She questioned, Eden wiped her hands on the cloth making her way over “no darling but he's going to call and we can have a big celebration when he's back” she smiled taking a seat next to her daughter.
Ophelia thought about it for a second “So Albie won't be two until daddy is home?” She frowned, Eden smiled pushing her hair from her eyes “No, he’ll still be two, tomorrow but he gets an extra celebration when daddy is home” she explained. Ophelia looked up at her “do I get two celebrations on my birthday?”.
Eden shook her head “we might be out with daddy for your birthday, remember?” Ophelia nodded “that's my present” she stated, Eden pulled her onto her lap “oh daddy is your present?” She laughed “yes because I miss him” Eden watched as the tears welled in her eyes, Eden pulled her tighter into her body, Ophelia had started to really understand Cillian being away this time round.
“Oh love I know you do, I do too” she kissed the top of her head, “let's go wake Albie up see if he's less fussy” Eden offered as a distraction, standing up and moving Phee onto her hip as they left the cake behind and headed up the stairs.
-
Albies second birthday had been a modest party with family and a few mum friends, nothing too overwhelming, but both Ophelia and Albie had crashed out as soon as they'd had a bath and been tucked up in bed.
Eden had left most of the clearing up for the morning, showered and got straight into bed with some leftover party food. Her phone went off as soon as she turned on the TV, muting it she answered the FaceTime from Cillian.
“Hey baby” his voice was soft, he looked exhausted, the weight he'd lost for Oppenheimer made him look even more drawn. “Hey Cill” she smiled, relaxing back into the pillow “what's the time there?” She asked, Cillian flicked a look up to the top of his screen “four thirty” he sighed “feels like I've been awake for hours” he laughed.
Eden placed her plate on the bedside, she caught his knowing look of amusement at the fact she'd got into bed with food “you probably have when did you start?” She asked, “five this morning” He gave her a smile that didn't quite meet his eyes. “Cill, I would tell you to slow down but I know you too well so I'm just going to ask you to take care of yourself” she laughed lightly.
Cillian nodded “I am love, I promise” he moved on the sofa he was sitting on “so how did the party go?” He asked, keen to change the subject “Mam sent me loads of photos, I miss you all so much” he looked emotional “it wasn't too hectic, your mum was a god send” she laughed, “Albie was a bit overwhelmed I think all the attention”
“He's like his dad” Cillian joked as Eden nodded, “Cill, I miss you” she sighed, they rarely had time just two of them on the phone, usually it was filled with Albie trying to press his chubby fingers on the screen or Ophelia demanding to talk to Cillian. “I miss you too darling, so fucking much” he pushed his hand over his short hair.
“Any more thoughts on coming out In a few weeks?” He asked, Eden nodded “I spoke to Sarah, I'll just need to put in a few extra evenings the next couple of weeks to cover work, but she was happy for me to take time off” Eden smiled, “that's great, I've mentioned to Chris so he's going to have a look at the filming schedule” he explained.
Eden nodded “Cill even if you're working we will just be happy to be close to you” he nodded with a bigger smile this time “and I get to come back to sleep next to my beautiful wife” he hummed, Eden smiled even after eight years hearing him call her his wife made her stomach flip “can't wait to curl up next to my husband”
The alarm from behind him made Eden jump “back to work?” She pouted slightly, Cillian nodded “sorry love, I've got an interview in twenty minutes” he moved from the sofa, “Don't apologise, it's nearly midnight here anyway” she tried to hold back her yawn “you stayed up to talk?” He asked knowing her well enough “of course wanted to see you and hear your voice” she climbed under the covers.
“Get some sleep darling, I'll call you tomorrow” Eden nodded “love you” she smiled with another yawn “love you too Edes” he waited for her to disconnect the call before he locked his phone.

The Tension P1 - Early 2023. Part Twenty - Eight
Eden pulled into the driveway, the last half an hour of the drive had been filled with Ophelia's demanding questions and Albie’s ear piercing screams. She was hoping Cillian would be on hand to take them off her the moment she stepped through the door.
Bundling them both out of the car, Ophelia rushed to the front door, Albie clinging to Eden’s top as she grabbed for the bags in the footwell.
She unlocked the door, shouting after Ophelia to remove her shoes, placing Albie down, kicking her trainers off before she helped Albie with his “Cill?” She called, closing the door behind herself, Scout bounded from the lounge Ablie screeching in delight as the chocolate lab licked his face.
“Scout no” she pushed him away, causing another screech of disappointment to erupt from Albie “Come on Alb let's get a drink” she took Albie’s hand leading him to the kitchen.
“Cill?” she called again, pulling her phone from her back pocket. Opening the doors in the kitchen so Scout could get into the garden, she helped Albie onto the sofa in the corner, handing him a juice “Phee come get a drink” she called into the hall.
Pressing Cillian's number she tapped the loud speaker, he answered on the fourth ring “Hello?” He asked, the loud commotion in the background made her frown.
“Cill? Thought you were back this evening?” She questioned. handing a juice to Ophelia, watching her climb onto the sofa next to her brother. “Ah sorry love, Steve wanted me to meet some people, Lyndsay has put me on the first flight tomorrow” she could tell by the tone of his voice he was a few drinks deep.
“Were you going to tell me?” She snapped, he was hardly home at the moment, “sorry Darling I thought Lyndsay had handled it” she heard him thank someone in the background.
“Well she didn't so we've come home expecting to see you” he infuriated her at times “sorry again Ede, I'll be back in the morning I promise”
Eden rolled her eyes, as the head splitting screech of Albie made her jump, Ophelia stood beside him looking guilty “they're all yours tomorrow Cillian I don't care how hungover you are” phone pressed to her ear now, as she picked up Albie.
“Yeah of course anything you want baby” he was slurring, calling her baby always meant he was drunk and made her blood boil even more. “I want to talk to daddy” Ophelia pouted, Albie was grabbing for the phone “Phee wants to talk to you”
“Put her on my little princess” he hummed “See you tomorrow then” she muttered, handing the phone to Ophelia who disappeared down the hall chatting away. five going on fifteen.
-
The kids had crashed out after dinner, a bath and a story. Eden wasn't far behind, they'd spent the day at Orla’s which had thankfully tired them out. Pouring the leftover wine from her glass into the sink, she let Scout out for his last bathroom break, her phone buzzing on the kitchen table, a message from Ella.
‘Just seen Cill out in Soho, he's going to wake up regretting the Guinness’
Eden rolled her eyes ‘well at least someone has seen him x’
‘You ok babe?’ Ella's message flew back ‘yeah was just expecting him back today, it's been a long day splitting headache. Enjoy your night! Miss you and Soho nights! x’
‘Ahh shit, really? Left Paul with him and Steve I'm heading to bed, Soho nights are long gone!! Miss you x’
‘Sleep well love! x’
-
Eden had welcomed their bed, her whole body exhausted, head pounding. Scrolling through her social media, she stopped at a post from a gossip magazine on her feed.
‘Cillian Murphy pulls a blinder!’
She zoomed in on the photo, Cillian leaning against a wall with a half drunk glass of Guinness in his hand, a woman leaning into his side obviously whispering in his ear. She'd hardly ever felt jealousy in their relationship, ten years together really solidified the trust, but the past few months she'd felt a shift, felt a slight distance between them.
The woman in the picture had pulled a smile onto his face that she hadn't seen in a while. Swiping through the pictures she felt the jealousy wash over her. one of Cillian walking down the road with her, another of him leaning into the taxi.
She knew she could trust him, they were having a difficult patch, surely that was normal after being together so long, everything in his career had got so heightened recently it was new for both of them, but she knew even with her hint of jealousy he'd be coming back to her.
‘Hope the hangover isn't brutal you idiot! Champagne AFTER Guinness you're not well! love you & miss you x’
She sent the text to him. placing her phone on the bedside table, Scout curled by her feet, she settled down falling into a deep sleep.
-
Eden stirred, the feeling of someone getting into the bed beside her waking her up. “Hi darling” his voice flooded her senses, she rolled over flicking on the bedside light.
“Cill?” She questioned, squinting at the light “what's the time” she asked, “six thirty” he laid down next to her “I thought you were back later this morning” she asked still in a haze of sleep.
“Managed to get an earlier flight” Cillian lent across to brush her hair from her forehead, she moved slightly sitting up “I saw the pictures” she bundled her hair into a hair scrunchie giving him a look.
“I saw your text and wanted to get home to you” he sighed “that girl, she’s a friend of Lyndsay’s I walked her to her taxi” he took her hand “and Lyndsay is going to sort the gossip out” he added. Eden turned to face him “sorry I wasn't implying anything, just the really thought you would be here when we got back” she sighed.
Cillian shook his head “don't apologise, it's my fault” he pulled her gently towards him. “Feel like we're losing each other Cill” she admitted, looking up at him, he pressed a kiss to her forehead “hey, no don't say that” She crawled into his lap, arms around his shoulders “it's just been a busy six months and I took the piss yesterday, literally I took a piss in the alleyway and got papped” he groaned.
Eden laughed, head thrown back “Are you in some kind of midlife crisis here? Edging towards forty eight and needing to relive your youth” she teased, Cillian groaned, hands on her hips “I just needed a piss” Eden bit at her lip feeling herself relax back in his presence.
“The kids will find those photos when they're older, their world famous dad, taking a piss in the alley after drinking too much” she almost cackled as Cillian pulled her into him. “Oh no Lyndsay is under strict instructions to remove all evidence” he smirked, Eden rolled her eyes playfully.
-
Cillian moved Eden slowly onto her back against the mattress, his lips moulding with hers as he settled lightly against her, his hands moving under her pyjama top, "missed you" he sighed against her lips.
Eden wrapped her arms around his neck "Missed you too, sorry for being jealous" she laughed lightly, a slight moan falling from her lips as his hand cupped at her breast, thumb and finger rolling over her sensitive nipple.
“Ah love you're grand, don't apologise" his hand moving to her other breast, her hips pushing into his "my actions didn't help" he reminded her, pushing his hips down in response to her earlier movement, “these actions might” she giggled into his neck, Cillian laughed as he pinched her nipple.
Eden's hands were roaming over his body, pushing the hem of his T-shirt up, she lifted her head, lips pressing against the warm skin of his chest, pulling away as he removed her pyjama top.
"I should lock the door,” he hummed, stopping suddenly. Eden laughed "I don't want to damage our children any more, you've already embarrassed them with your antics” She teased.
Cillian shook his head with an amused smile,”never living that down am I?” He joined her back in the bed, Eden laughed “I might just keep it stored away”
She pulled him towards her, “Cill, please it's been weeks” she whined, Cillian gave her a smile “you're so impatient aren't you?" he teased, hand settling between her legs, she could feel her pussy throbbing for him.
Cillian's hand slipped under the material of her pyjama bottoms, fingers dipping between her soaked slit, gathering her slick as he teased at her clit. "Fuck" She sighed the sensation making her whole body relax, as his thumb pressed on her clit, two fingers pushing into her wet cunt.
Cillian smirked as he felt her body react to his touch, her legs spreading below him, body shaking a shuddered moan leaving her parted lips. His pace sped up as he nipped at her bottom lip, knotting her fingers in his hair "Love you so much" she whimpered.
"Love you too darling, look so beautiful with my fingers in you" he was dragging against her walls, making her whine, "my beautiful wife" he hummed, feeling his cock strained against his boxers.
Eden was biting at her lip "haven't felt them in a while” she hummed, he lifted his head up to look at her “been deprived haven't you?” He teased still working at her pussy with his fingers, lips reattaching to her neck. “So fucking much" she huffed out a breath as he tapped against her front wall.
“Want more?" he asked, pounding his fingers further into her, her head fell back against the pillows as she whimpered with a nod, the knot in her stomach was pulling tighter and tighter.
Cillian's fingers were on a mission to make her orgasm as hard as possible.Her whole body was shaking beneath him, fingers gripping the sheets, eyes closed, lips parted as she rocked her hips down on his fingers
"Look at me” he instructed, her eyes opened, watching her as he added another finger into her welcoming cunt, he gave her the last few pumps of his fingers “good girl” he praised that's all it took for her to unravel under him, coating his fingers with a generous amount of her orgasm, her chest was heaving as Cillian slowly dragged his fingers from her, instantly licking at them.
Eden had begged Cillian to let her touch him, but he had refused, ready to make her fall apart once more, but this time around his cock. She had pouted, grabbing for his hard cock as he discarded his boxers, he had batted her hands away teasingly.
He settled himself between her legs, he pushed into her pussy with a groan, eyes scrunched closed as he relished in the feeling of her stretching around him. A deep moan ripping from his throat, forehead pressed to hers as he started to move.
Eden was still half blissed out from her orgasm, her pussy sensitive to his movements as he picked up his pace, hips rocking down towards hers, her hands massaging up and down his back. "So sensitive" she sighed, pecking at his lips "We can stop" he smirked, Eden shook her head, legs wrapping tight around his waist "I don't think you could Cill" she teased.
He laughed broken with moans "I really couldn't" he agreed, driving his cock deeper into her. Cillian had curled his free hand with hers holding them just above her head, the fingers on his other hand digging into the soft skin of her thigh, he lent down pressing a breathy kiss to her lips.She reacted licking into his mouth rushed and sloppy "so fuckin' tight for me" he moaned as he pulled from her lips.
Cillian angled his hips making her cry out in pleasure as he dragged against her walls, "there oh god" she was whining. His hand slipped down to tease around her clit before pressing the pad of his thumb to the hot sensitive area "come for me, come around my cock" he urged her, eyes scrunched closed as she frantically nodded, letting out a shaking breath.
She bit down on her bottom lip as his teasing ramped up along with his thrusts, he was hitting all the right places inside her clenching pussy, thumb pressed against her clit.Her body shook, arching off the mattress, her walls fluttering around him as she dug her nails into his bicep, crying out his name, eyes closed tight.
Cillian lent down to nip at the exposed skin of her neck as he felt the knot in his stomach tighten, her walls were still contracting around him milking his release out of him, Cillian sloppily thrust into her as he moaned, her name tumbling from his dry lips, his hot cum coating her walls.
-
They laid together, entirely spent catching their breath, her fingers lazily stroking through his hair, “Welcome home” she sighed, Cillian turned his head to look at her “I think we needed that” he laughed lightly, pressed a kiss against the corner of her mouth, Eden nodded in agreement with a smile against his lips.
He moved slowly, pulling from her just as the handle of the door rattled. “Mammy” Albies voice floated through “hold on baby I'm coming” she called, grabbing her robe and some underwear.
Cillian watched as Albie’s eyes lit up at the sight of him, a squeal of joy filled their bedroom “Daddy” he giggled rushing across to him, Cillian caught him in his arms pulling him into his chest “Morning Alb, been gone a few days and you've grown” he hummed.
Moments later Ophelia was running in, launching herself at him “Hello Princess” he held her against his side as she wrapped her arms around his waist.
Eden took in the sight in front of her, all thoughts of jealousy and distance leaving her mind as he held out his hand for her to join them.
-
The day had rolled by with a few dog walks, a pub dinner and bath time where Cillian had ended up soaked. The kids had finally settled, their family unit back together, they always played up when he was gone, always fighting for Eden's attention, asking for him and questioning how long he'd be gone.
Eden always remembered the months he was away filming while Ophelia was under a year, the struggle of life away from him with this new person in her life, a person she barely knew but felt so connected with.
The daily arguments when he did get time to call, the harsh words and bitter fights, it was easier when Albie arrived, the whole world in lockdown, Cillian at home for months. They'd all muddled through perfectly.
When the time came for him to leave for filming to start it had been a much easier transition, Albie settled into a routine, Ophelia understanding why daddy was going away.
They had a few weeks together before he was due to start filming in New Ross for Small Things Like These. He was thankful for the down time and a slower pace of life for a little bit, mucking in with school runs for Ophelia, days with Albie.
Eden took the glass of red wine he'd just poured them, she was curled up on the sofa, the tv humming in the background, Scout on the floor, candles flickering on the coffee table. This was the life they'd always pictured, the life they had when he wasn’t flying across the world for work.
Cillian's gaze lingered on her for a moment or two, his schedule had been so busy, He'd missed her, the soft touches of her skin on his when they passed in the kitchen, her contagious giggles when he'd do something silly just to pull a smile onto her lips.
He adored her, most people did, she had that energy around her, he knew he was so lucky to be her husband to do life with her. She was his anchor, his best friend.
She turned to look at him, eyes flicking over his features, glass perched on her crossed leg "what are you thinking about?" She simply asked, licking at her dry lips.
He smiled opening his arms up so she could curl into his side, he pressed his lips to her temple "you" he confirmed "but I'm right here" she looked up at him, he moved his fingertips over her cheek blushed red from the wine, he chuckled "I know but it's been a while" he shrugged as she nods.
She linked her fingers with his locking their hands together "Been pretty busy hasn't it" he nods worrying his lip between his teeth "just get scared Edes that it won't slow down and there's no time for us" she sat up slightly "Cillian Murphy, there's always time for us and it always slows down we know that it's just hectic right now" her hand squeezed his thigh.
“Feel like I'm missing out on so much with the kids” he sighed, head back against the sofa cushions “hardly, Ophelia is on a mission to video every little thing that goes on and Albie seems to save all his milestones for dada to witness” she laughed lightly, hand moving to cup at his cheek “you've worked hard for this and one day they'll both know just how fucking amazing their Daddy is” she moved so she could kiss him.
Cillian relaxed slightly under her touch, sipping from his wine as she moved back to his side, "What about you, feel like I'm always abandoning you" he sighed, he knew she was fine being alone with Ophelia and Albie, all she ever did was reassure him she was fine.
He felt guilty most of the time he was away, like she was putting on a front for him "You're not abandoning me, I'm pretty sure I knew what I was getting into when I agreed to marry you and I knew it wouldn't change once we had babies” she smiled, pecking his cheek "and if you coming home is like this morning then you can leave more often" she nuzzled into his neck planting a kiss on his warm skin.
Cillian nodded “how do you manage to be so understanding?” He laughed lightly, “oh that thing you do with your fingers helps a lot” Eden shrugged “but you should hear me when you're not here, cursing you daily” she joked, Cillian squeezed at her side “behave” he hummed lips pressed against the top of her head. He felt all his hectic energy mellowing out with each of her kisses and he knew he was still in safe grounded hands.
