she’s all i wanna be

Summary: you are insecure in your relationship with Eddie

Warnings: reader has a negative body image, mean girl behavior, bullying

I have no idea why the formatting is so weird lol

Your relationship with Eddie was new. It was fun and exciting but also scary. You had never had feelings like this for anyone before. He always made time for you, recently skipping D&D or cutting band practice short so he could squeeze in more time to spend with you. Because Eddie’s world was newly revolving around your every move, his friends were getting annoyed with you and your constant presence.

You walk into the cafeteria and sit at your usual spot at the Hellfire table. You didn’t know if you should without Eddie, but he had to meet with Miss Click about his last test grade. He assured you that the boys would love to have you sit with them.

You quietly sit and greet them with a weak smile and wave.

“Oh hey y/n, where is Eddie? Gareth questioned.

“He had to meet with Miss Click to go over his last exam, hope you don’t mind me sitting here” you said as you unpacked the contents of your lunchbox.

“And you aren’t waiting outside the classroom for him to be done” Jeff let out with a weak laugh.

Your face flushed because you had actually thought of doing that.

“I don’t get how he isn’t completely tired of you always hanging around him and pulling him away from what he loves. It’s so confusing since just a few months ago he couldn’t shut up about his crush on Chrissy, and now he’s with you instead” Mike said cruelly.

Your face was still red hot and you were fighting back the tears in your eyes.

“I guess he just settled for the off brand Chrissy” Jeff said with a laugh, as the rest of the boys chucked with him.

You quickly stood up and grabbed your belongings not able to listen anymore.

“Hey, we were just joking with you!” Mike called out and you ran out.

You left the school down an old trail you and Eddie frequently took when you just needed to get away. You headed to the rusted bench to take a minute to yourself when you heard Eddie’s laugh. You peer through the bushes only to see Eddie dramatically falling onto the ground in front of the one and only Chrissy Cunningham.

She was definitely flirting with him, twisting her perfect blonde hair as she asked him about Corroded Coffin. You saw enough, taking off to head in the direction of your house.

On your way home you couldn’t help but think negatively of yourself. She was definitely prettier than you. She had a smaller waist, long blonde hair and came from money. You didn’t have anything like that to offer, you’d probably choose her too.

As you walked past the drug store, you had a moment of thinking “maybe I can look like her” as you wondered in looking for some hair dye. You decided on a box of bleach, thinking that adding some highlights could maybe help your look.

As soon as you got home you rushed to the bathroom and locked the door behind you. You pull out the instructions and read them over 3 times to ensure you know what you are doing. You decided you were ready, you started to mix the chemicals that smelt so strong you were sure you’d get high from the fumes. As neatly as you could you applied the paste to your hair and let it be for 45 minutes. You rinse the chemical off, throwing your hair up in a towel on your head as you wipe the fog off the mirror.

Then you were horrified. Once you pulled the towel off all you could feel was instant regret. Your roots were white blonde while other pieces were bright orange and another section still your original color. You were panicking trying to figure out your next move when there was a knock on the bathroom door.

“Hey y/n dad said dinner is ready” your little sister, El informed you.

You muttered some profanities before saying, “tell him I’m not hungry!”

You suddenly hear heavy footsteps approaching the bathroom door.

“None of that y/n, come on we are eating dinner” Hopper insisted.

“Sorry I can’t” you blurt out.

“Excuse me? You can’t? Open this door right now y/n”

You knew you couldn’t win. You slowly opened the door to reveal the mess you were currently dealing with.

“What the hell y/n” Hopper said as he pinched the bridge of his nose.

“I know it looks really bad -“ you start

“Really bad is an understatement” El cuts you off with a giggle. You give her a death stare and she runs down the hallway.

“I can call Joyce tomorrow to see if she can come help you fix it after school,” Hopper said, rubbing his face with his hand.

“After school?! Dad no way that’s too long”

“She’s at work y/n, you’ll just have to wear a hat or something” he says as he lets out a laugh.

You continue just to give him an annoyed glare.

The next morning you tuck all of your hair into a beanie, then place the hood of your sweatshirt over top to further disguise yourself.

As you make your way downstairs for school, your father sees you and chuckles.

“I don’t know why you think this is funny” you say as you pour your bowl of cereal.

“This is one of those moments I will never let you forget,” he replies.

You just have to get through today, stay low and avoid Eddie that all you have to do. Standing at your locker you grab the books you need as you notice Eddie approaching you with a smile and wave. You took off to your class taking your seat and opening your book up as quickly as possible to bury your head in.

“Hey y/n I tried to call you last night but you didn’t answer” Eddie said as he took his seat behind you, chains hitting onto the desk.

“I was busy” you reply coldly.

“Are you mad at me? Did I do something wrong?” He said leaning forward.

Thankfully the bell rang and Miss Click walked in already telling everyone to quiet down.

“Ok class today I want you to turn to page 110- yes Miss Cunningham?” Miss Click said as Chrissy raised her hand.

“I just was thinking I’m pretty sure it’s against the dress code to wear hats inside and I just don’t think it would be fair if certain people were an exception to the rules”

“Why yes that is a rule, Miss Hopper you need to remove your hood”

Your heart sunk and your face instantly got red. You sat there like a statue for a minute trying to decide what to do.

“Miss Hopper if you don’t remove the hood this instant I will have to send you to the principal's office to call you father.”

You slowly pull the hood back and stare at Miss Click.

“The beanie too dear” Miss Click said.

As you pull it off your head you can hear the whole room gasp followed by laughter.

“Oh my” is all Miss Click could get out before you grabbed your books and bolted out of the room. You faintly heard Eddie calling your name but you didn’t turn back, you headed straight home with tears running down your face.

Double Daddy Part 9

Notes: sorry this chapter took so long and it’s pretty short, the next one is longer. Hope you all enjoy 🖤

Also when I pasted it into tumblr my formatting changed a lot so it looks really weird but I’m too lazy to try to fix it 🖤

You slam the front door once you follow in the house behind your dad. He is shaking his head as you cross your arms in frustration.

“You are not even trying to hear me out dad! You don’t know the whole story” you shout at him.

“I don’t need to know the whole story y/n, he clearly has been sleeping around with multiple people” Hopper states as he makes his way into the kitchen. Joyce is there preparing lunch but makes no effort to join in on your discussion.

“Dad we were anything serious” you start to argue but Hopper cuts you off, “somehow that doesn’t make this situation any better”

“He slept with Chrissy one time at a party where he was drunk at Dad. I’m not the biggest fan of the situation either but it is what it is, at the end of the day he is the father of my baby. I need to be able to get along with him.”

“I understand that y/n, it just-it just really upsets me that he upsets you so much, I don’t want you getting hurt by him” Hopper says as he pulls you into a hug.

It was a great warm hug. One of the best hugs you’ve had in such a long time. You don’t know if it was your raging hormones or the fact that you and your dad haven’t shared a hug like this in forever, but you started to cry.

“Oh honey I’m sorry” he says to you as he squeezes you tighter.

“It’s ok dad, I’m ok. I just need to be on good terms with Eddie because… I think I might want to keep the baby” you respond, still buried into his embrace.

“Y/n you know all I ever want is for you to be happy and healthy. It up to you if you decided you want to raise the baby but I really encourage you to weigh out all your options and make the best decision for not only you but the baby as well”

After that was said, hugs were released and the tears that had spilled out of your eyes were wiped.

“Here” Hopper said as he tossed his truck keys to you, “why don’t you go to your appointment and stop by Eddie’s on your way home. Curfew of 9pm sharp”

“10pm?” You said with a laugh and smile.

“9:30 and not a second passed” he agreed and you nodded as you made your way to the truck.

The appointment went well and everything was on the right one track. You are 16 weeks now.

After the appointment you drove to Eddie’s trailer. Once you pulled up you realized you didn’t know if Eddie had informed his uncle of your current situation. You dig through the truck until you find an old black pullover of yours. It definitely didn’t completely hide the bump but it made it not as prominent.

You slowly approach the door as your heart starts racing. You practiced what you thought you would say in the car on the way over but now? You had no idea. You knock lightly three times on the door. Wayne answered it in a rush, continuing to button up his work shirt.

“Hi Mr. Muson, I was wondering if Eddie was home” you said rather quietly.

“Kid I’m pretty sure you’ve known Eddie for years now and I’ve told you repeatedly to just call me Wayne” he said as he stepped out of the doorway so you could walk inside.

“Sorry”

“It’s ok kid, haven’t seen you in a while around here” he said as his eyes drifted to your growing stomach then back up to your eyes.

You just stood there uncomfortably for a second.

“Well I’m off to work now, Eddie should be in his room. Make yourself at home” he stated as he turned to grab a to-go cup of coffee and headed out.

You approached Eddie’s door and knock, “hey Ed’s it’s me can I come in”

You hear movement and sniffling behind the door before it is opened to reveal Eddie. His eyes were red and glossy with puffy cheeks to match, you could tell he had been crying. His messy curls pulled into a loose bun at the back of his head, no shirt on his body, just some old black pajama pants.

“What are you doing here y/n?” Eddie said in a concerned voice.

“Just wanted to check on you, seemed like you had quite the life changing afternoon”

He gestured you in the room and you sat on the edge of his unmade bed while he took a spot in the desk chair. It’s was silent for a few moments before Eddie decided to break it.

“I am so so sorry y/n”

“I know” you said emotionless.

“No seriously I’m so so so sorry, I don’t know where my head has been the past couple months and I just-“ Eddie started but you soon cut him off.

“I don’t want to say it’s ok Eds cause it’s not but I’m willing to put it behind us. I’m willing to work together as a team so we can raise our daughter together” you said looking down at your shoes.

“I’ll figure out someway to make it up to you I swe- wait did you just say daughter?” Eddie said as he stood up to sit next to you on the bed.

You nod. “I had an appointment today, remember? They were able to tell me they are pretty sure the baby is a girl”

“Fuck I was suppose to take you to that appointment I’m so sorry-“

“No more sorry’s munson, I’ll give you a free pass for today since it was a really shitty day for you” you smile at him.

“I think-I think I want to keep her” you say to him in almost a whisper.

“Are you sure that’s what you want”

“I’m still going through all my options but every day I feel closer and closer to her, I want what is best for her of course but I also want to try to give that to her” you say, placing a hand on your rounded tummy.

You get back home not long after that. Joyce and Hopper sat in the dining room, just the two of them in the dimly lit room.

You greet them which breaks their deep conversation they were having.

“Hey sweetie, how was your appointment?” Joyce says as she motions you over to sit at the table with them.

“It was good, the doctor said we are healthy.” You said with a smile as you sat down.

“Your dad mentioned that you are thinking about keeping the baby?” Joyce asked as she took your hands into hers.

“Yeah I’m still trying to decide though, nothing is set yet” you wiggle in your seat, feeling uncomfortable with the conversation.

“I know that right now, this feels like the hardest part but it’s not dear. This is the easiest part, once the baby is here is when the real struggles begin. There are amazing and beautiful moments in raising a child, but there are also dark and lonely days. Children don’t come with a book. But I hope you know, whatever you decide your father and I will support you in any way we possibly can. And we will be incredibly proud of you, no matter what you choose.”

Tears break loose from the brim of your lids.

“Oh sweetie, I didn’t mean to upset you” Joyce says, taking you in for a hug.

You embrace the hug and then wipe your eyes with your sleeves, “this is so hard, I want to make the right decision but it doesn’t feel like there is a right one. I just want to do what’s best for her”

Your dad joins in the conversation now, “her? It’s a girl?”

You nod and more tears spill over.

“Oh sweetie congratulations!” Joyce says as she covers her mouth with her hands in excitement.

“You know we will help you in any way we can y/n, we love you both so much” your dad said as he got up to give you a hug as well.

“Thank you both so so much”

The next day Joyce came into your room early to wake you up. Honestly you were pretty pissed she woke you up because you were so tired, but you were trying to be nicer to everyone. She told you to get dressed and come down stairs as soon as you were ready.

You threw on your leggings which were the only pair of bottoms you had that fit you anymore. You topped it with an oversized sweatshirt and your sneakers.

You ran down the stairs and sat at the table, filling your plate up with the breakfast foods Joyce had made.

There was a knock at the door, followed by Steve entering the house before anyone came to open the door.

“Good morning!” He entered with a smile making his way over to the kitchen table.

You mumble as you stuff a biscuit into your mouth. Steve reaches over to grab a piece of food off your plate to which you promptly smacked it away.

“What are you doing here Steve? Don’t you have your own family to annoy in the mornings” Hopper said as he sipped his black coffee. Your dad's comment made you chuckle and Steve took a seat at the table.

“I know she’s moody because she’s pregnant but what’s your excuse?” Steve said with a laugh.

Hopper rolled his eyes, “seriously what are you doing here”

Just then Joyce enters back to the table, “I asked him to come over and take El and Will to the arcade for the day, I wanted to have some girl time with just y/n”

You almost choke on your food. Joyce has been amazing to you but ‘girl time’ still wasn’t something you enjoyed.

“Why can’t El come too? She’s a girl” you ask, not making eye contact.

“Because I don’t think she’s going to find going to the maternity and baby store that exciting”

“Do we have to go do that today?” You let out with a groan.

“Yes we do, you need more than one pair of pants y/n. Plus I already talked to Eddie and he will be meeting us there so we can look at some of the essentials you’ll be needing for the baby”

Your eyes grew wide “why would you invite Eddie? I thought we were having a girls day. I really really don’t want to do this”

“I just figured it would be good for him to tag along so he knows what you guys are gonna need if you decide to raise the baby”

“This should be considered torture” you let out another loud groan, placing your head into your hands.

“No torture would be me pulling out my old maternity clothes from the Rubbermaid container in the garage and telling you to wear those” Joyce replied as she started to eat her own breakfast.

You Belong With Me Part 2

I wrote this instead of doing my physics homework, I hope you enjoy, especially @grimmbunniee who gave me the inspiration for a part 2

You can read Part 1 here

You avoid Eddie like the fucking plague all weekend. You couldn’t face him, not after he told you he was in love with you yet slept with Chrissy Cunningham. Monday rolls around and you regret letting Eddie take you and your sister to school everyday. As you finish packing up your lunches, you call out for Max.

“Max hurry up or we will be late”

“What do you mean late? We have 10 more minutes until we have to leave with munson.” She replies Snatching her lunch off the counter.

“We are riding the bus today,” you said under your breath. You love your sister, but she can be really harsh and you don't need her judgemental eyes right now.

“Seriously y/n? You and Munson get into a fight and I’m the one who has to suffer”

“Come on Max let’s just go” you say, pulling her out the front door to walk to the bus stop.

Just as Eddie was exiting his trailer to get in his van he noticed you and Max climbing up the steps of the bus. He remembered confessing his love to you at the party even though he was extremely drunk.

The whole day you avoided Eddie, dodging him was simple because you knew his whole schedule. You knew the hallways he walked down and the classes he had, so you just carefully went the opposite direction.

That’s until lunch rolled around. You were going to just eat your bagged lunch in the outside hallway but you knew if you did that max would most likely come looking for you, further bringing you avoidance of Eddie to the rest of the parties attention. You walk in slowly, mentally deciding that you will sit next to Max and act like nothing has happened. Once you start approaching the table you look up to see Chrissy running over to sit in Eddie's lap. He wore a huge grin and they both looked genuinely happy.. at least at this moment. You sit down not making any acknowledgement towards Eddie’s presence as you listen to Dustin talk about his science fair project. As lunch ended, Max turned to you and said, “don’t get on the bus to go home I’m not riding in the death trap again” you respond with an eye roll and “you really want to walk home? That would take us at least 45 minutes”

“No” she responded, “I called Steve he said he would be happy to give us a ride” at that comment Eddie began to choke on his pretzels. He coughed loudly, grabbing towards his water bottle for a drink.

“Oh my god are you ok?” You looked at him with an honest look of concern.

He nodded back trying to catch his breath. You went to ask him again just to be sure but the lunch bell rang snapping you out of your concern.

When the end of the school day came you met Max at your usual spot in front of the school. You were upset with her, you didn’t mind Steve but you also weren’t the biggest fan of him. Back in his ‘King Steve’ days he definitely wasn’t the nicest to you.

“Why the hell would you think it is ok to call Steve?” You said angrily as you approached Max.

She rolled her eyes, something she did all the time and definitely something she picked up from you.

“I don’t see what the big deal is? You somehow managed to make us lose our ride so I got us a new one. I’m not riding that damn bus”

“You know you aren’t too good for that bus. That’s your problem max you think you are so much better than everyone around you” you didn’t mean to pick a fight with your sister. You’ve always been the one to take care of her but right now you felt like she crossed the line.

“Well excuse me, it’s not my fault you are in fucking love with Eddie but too much of an idiot to admit it to him!”

Just as you were getting ready to yell back at her Steve pulled up in his car and honked as he rolled the window down. “Hey ladies!” He calls out to you and max “I heard you were in need of a ride”

You sigh as you adjust your backpack and give Max a very annoyed look. You both start heading over to Steve, you want to get in the back but Max jumps in as you open the door so you decide to sit up front. Eddie spots you as he is walking next to Chrissy getting an ear full about how he doesn’t support her cheerleading as much as he should.

“Well how are the two pretty red heads of Hawkins High doing?” Steve said with a smile. You just sit in the passenger seat, arms crossed.

“Well I would be doing great since I got an A on my biology test but my sister insists on being the biggest bitch at Hawkins High” Max comments.

“You know what? This was dumb. I’ll just try to catch the bus since I’m not too good to ride it” you say as you start to get out.

“Come on y/n, let me just give you a ride this time. The bus has already left and you’ll be stuck walking for sure.”

You sigh and shut the door.

The ride home was quiet. As soon as he pulled up in front of your trailer, Max bolted out.

“Thanks for the ride, we appreciate it” you say quietly as you pull your backpack up to get out.

“Anytime” Steve says.

Before you exit the car, Steve gently grabs your arm.

“I need to apologize to you Red, I didn’t mean all those things I said in high school. I was just dumb and trying to fit in. I think you are really cool and I would love to get to know you better”

You smile, “I can only accept your apology if you give Dio a chance. And I mean a real chance”

“Anything for you” Steve said laughing as you pulled the tape out of your backpack and handed it to him.

“You know, this means we are going to have to see each other again soon so I can give this tape back. Preferably longer than the 5 minute drive from the school to your house?” He said as he fidgeted with the tape.

“How about Friday night?” You said with a smile.

“It’s a date”

As the week passed by you focused less and less on Eddie and Chrissy and more on Steve. He was actually a really nice guy. He was really caring and listened to you. He continued to give you and your sister a ride to and from school every day as you promised that you were saving up every penny you had to hopefully get your own car soon.

As you walked up to the hellfire table to sit down Dustin said “well well well, who do we have here?” You furrowed your eyebrows unsure of what he was talking about.

“It just so happens Steve said he couldn’t give us a ride home after Hellfire tonight because he would be on a date…” Dustin started, and Mike finished “..with you!” a huge grin covering his face.

“I never thought I would see the day that you and Harrington actually got along” Dustin said with a laugh as you blushed.

Eddie approached the table, Chrissy hanging on to his arm, “what are we talking about over here? Hopefully about the new character sheets you all should have done for tonight”

“Y/n won’t be able to make it, she has a date” Dustin said wiggling his brows.

Eddie coughed, “a date? With who”

You didn’t say anything, piling a cracker into your mouth as quickly as possible.

“Steve! Steve actually asked her out! I never thought I would witness such an event” Dustin laughed clearly not reading the room.

Eddie laughed, “seriously Harrington? You’ve got to be kidding me”

“What? He’s too good for me too? What does it matter to you anyway” you said as you scowled at him.

“I’m just saying he is not your type at all, Mayfield”

“That’s rich coming from you” you rolled your eyes.

“What’s that supposed to mean?

“Oh I don’t know, just that last week you were telling me how in love you were with me and how Chrissy wasn’t your type at all yet here you are with her hanging all over you like a prize or something” you didn’t mean for that to come out in front of the whole table.

Eddie sat there scrabbling to find words. Chrissy sat there for a moment taking in the new information you just released before getting up, grabbing the carton of milk off of Gareth’s tray and pouring it on Eddie’s head. Once it was empty she tossed the carton in your direction and ran off.

Try Losing One

Summary: Fighting with Eddie was never easy

Note: it’s me again coming at you with a fic based on personal experiences, hope you enjoy. Most definitely not my best work, but I just needed to write something

You and Eddie have been dating throughout high school. He was always so easy to talk to. When it was your sophomore year, you were the new student at Hawkins High. Lost and unsure of who to talk to and where to sit, when the long haired boy bumped into you in the hall.

“Hey where are you headed to Speed Racer?” Eddie let out with a chuckle as he picked up the fallen papers.

“Oh I’m so so sorry, I’m just a bit lost. I’m new around here” you said with a small smile.

“What class ya headed to? I happen to know the ins and outs of this place”

“Um” you said she you fumble with a piece of paper containing your schedule on it “looks like history with Click”

“You are in luck, fair maiden, I am heading to her class as well” he said as he locked arms with you and escorted you to class.

—————————————————————————

Sure over the years you had your fair share of arguments like when Eddie started getting especially close with Chrissy.

“For the hundredth time y/n, I do not have a crush on Chrissy! She just came to me for some weed, that’s all. Nothing more I swear”

“You should tell that to her, she was going on and on about you in Mrs O’Donnel’s class to her friends. Said you were a sweetheart”

“I can’t help that I’m a sweetheart” he said to you with a grin “but seriously y/n there is nothing going on between me and her. You are it for me babe.”

A tear slipped out of your waterline, “I can’t compete with that Eds, she’s perfect and I’m just … not”

He came over to embrace you, cupping your cheeks in his hands as he used his thumb to wipe away the tear.

“You are perfect to me y/n”

—————————————————————————

But this new fight, it bigger than a simple kiss could fix. After graduation you moved into a small apartment just the two of you. He was working as a mechanic and you were a full time student. You were almost done with your nursing degree, something Eddie and you were so excited about. He had been supporting the two of you the best he could so you didn’t have to work through the program, knowing once you reached the end your lives would be so much better. The past two years had been stressful for both of you, he spent every day working, never taking a day off and you were drowning in assignments and clinical rotations. Both so engulfed in your own dreams, forgetting about the one you wanted to share together.

You had the day off of school as you curled your hair in the small 4x4 bathroom. Eddie had the day off as well. He stumbled into the bathroom surprised to find you getting ready.

“Where are you heading off to today?” Eddie questioned.

“I have an extra credit assignment to turn in today, he said he would grade it right away to add the points to my class” you state not looking away from your reflection in the mirror as you fluff the curls in your hair.

“Why because you need an A++ instead of just a simple A+” Eddie said as he slumped against the door frame, rolling his eyes.

You ignore his comment as you finish putting yourself together.

“You know my teacher and the doctor at my clinical site said they would write me a letter of recommendation to get into nurse practitioner school, I told them I wasn’t sure but they offered me a spot to shadow to see if I like it” you said gathering your belongings.

“How much longer would that be”

“Another year or so, but I could make almost double the money. Seems like a small price to pay for a brighter future and so many more opportunities”

“You got to be fucking kidding me right? Eddie let out with a sigh. You follow the sigh with a look of confusion, not sure where this burst of attitude came from.

“I’ve been working my ass off for two years to get you through school and now you want to keep going for another year?”

“Well I haven’t looked into all the details, not even sure if I’ll like it yet Eds, I was just bringing up the possibility”

“You make all these decisions without me. I thought we had a set plan, after you graduate we were gonna find a house and get out of Hawkins”

“I never said I was going to do it! It’s just an option, god I thought you would be happy for me” you start to raise your voice. You know he has been more than supportive of your education but he is turning something good that happened for you to be a negative thing.

“You are being so selfish right now” you ignore him as you leave for your class. The next thing Eddie says, he knew he would regret it as soon as it left his mouth.

“Gotta get all pretty for your teacher huh? Guess we know how you get all those A’s”

You turn around to face him, tears starting to form.

“You know Eddie, sometimes you are really ugly”

And with that you left him. High and dry in front of the apartment building. He tried to reach you throughout the day, knowing your schedule and exactly where you should be. You never answered. That’s the thing when fighting with Eddie, he loses his temper quickly but is always the first to apologize. But you were tired of him apologizing, that doesn’t make what he says ok. You decided after your class ended that it was best to head to your mothers house, crash there for a few days while you gather your thoughts.

Double Daddy Part 8

Warnings: teen pregnancy, cursing

Note: I love the beginning of this but hate how I ended it, oh well. Hope you all enjoy!

You held up the fake baby bump, looking Chrissy straight in the eyes. “You were faking it this whole time? Why? Why the hell would you do that”

“God y/n you fucking have it all. Family and friends. I just wanted one person to care about me, I just wanted Eddie. Why couldn’t you let me have him? Why did you have to get pregnant!” Chrissy yelled at you, coming to take the pillow out of your hands.

You yanked it back, but she didn’t let go pulling it even harder back.

As the two of you played tug of war with it you yelled, “you have to tell Eddie he deserves to know”

She shakes her head, “no fucking way, he is all I have!” Just at that moment the bump ripped in half. Lumps of cotton flew as you covered your mouth with your hand.

Chrissy was clearly in a state of panic, mumbling to herself. She had to go out for the pep rally and it would be really obvious that she no longer had a bump.

Her eyes darted around the room searching, then she landed on a small yellow and green balloon arch near the exit of the lock room. She yanked a green balloon off and stuffed it under her sweater. She went over to the mirror, adjusted the balloon and flipped her hair as she walked out. You just stood there in disbelief at what you just witnessed. The longer you sat with it, the anger grew inside of you. You rushed out of the locker room into the gym.

The rally hasn’t started yet but the bleachers were getting filled. Steve notices you walk in extremely red, he could tell you were pissed. He was sitting with the swim team since he was the new assistant coach but quickly got up to follow you.

You walk over to Chrissy, who is sitting next to Eddie, pulling her up by her arm as she yells ow.

“You are such a fucking lair, Chrissy!” You scream as you feel arms pulling you back. Steve had his arms around your waist trying to make sure there was distance between you and Chrissy.

Chrissy screamed back, “keep your fucking mouth shut!” As she went to hit you, Eddie then placed his arms around her waist. Teachers started noticing the fight and made their way to break it up but before it got too far there was a loud pop. Green pieces of balloon were visible at Chrissy’s feet and everyone went silent as they now noticed her swollen belly gone.

“What the fuck Chrissy?” Eddie said as he figured out what had happened.

“I-I can explain” Chrissy stuttered.

“You-you faked it?” Eddie took a step back.

“I’m sorry Eddie, it wasn’t ever supposed to go this far, I just- I just needed a friend” tears started to form in Chrissy’s eyes.

“What kind of person pretends to be pregnant?” Eddie said as he ran out of the gym.

“I should go find him” you said, turning to face Steve. But just about that time principal Higgins appears.

“Y/N Hopper! I can’t believe it, another fight coming from you? I thought you had finally calmed down.”

“I didn’t-“ you started but she cut you off quickly “come on to my office now, I’ll go call your father”

You wanted to protest but you knew it was no use.

“You as well Miss Cunningham” Principal Higgins said as she led you both to the office.

Chrissy went first so you said outside the office in your familiar chair. It would be a lie to say you haven’t been in this spot .. more than often. You have always been one to speak your mind and maybe you could have handled the situation better, more privately. But you couldn’t help it, it was so messed up what she did. You sat there worried about Eddie, wondering where he ran off to. You figured he was sitting at the old bench in the woods, probably smoking more than he should. You both frequently went there together when you were closer. Now he just felt like more of a stranger.

As you zoned out about Eddie, you hear a familiar jiggling of keys and a sigh. You look up reluctantly to see your father standing there, his arms crossed and he was definitely not in the best of moods. Before he could open his mouth to speak, the principal came out to call you into her office.

You sat down at the chair as your dad followed closely behind you sitting in the one next to you. Chrissy was seated next to her mother, Chrissy’s eyes were glassy and red as if she had been crying for hours.

“Well I assume everyone knows why we are here today, it seems the girls almost got into a physical altercation before the school's pep rally.”

You could feel your dad's eyes burning a hole into the back of your head and you didn’t make any eye contact with the principal.

“Since this isn’t the first time this has happened we need to-“ she was cut off my Chrissy’s mom, “we would like to press charges actually”

Your jaw dropped.

“Oh wow that seems a little extreme don’t you agree? Maybe the girls should just talk out their issues, yeah? Do some detention or something” your dad tried to defend you, but still glaring in your direction which you continue to ignore.

“My poor little Chrissy has been bullied by y/n all year long, and she did get physically violent with her once this year. I cannot allow this to continue”

Principle Higgins just nodded her head which annoyed the crap out of you. You knew you should stay quiet, just allow the adults to speak but you couldn’t, “that’s a whole lot of shit!” You threw your hands up in the air.

“Y/N!” Your dad responded and you rolled your eyes, “well it’s fucking true dad! She was saying she was pregnant with Eddie’s baby when she wasn’t!”

Chrissy’s eyes grew wide.

“Wait a second Eddie was sleeping with her too?” Your dad's jaw dropped as you grew red. You had specifically avoided that small detail to your dad.

“Well turns out this seems to be more of a Um… family matter? I’m going to give both girls detention for the rest of the week. And y/n honey, I think you really should learn to keep your temper at bay. Hawkins is a small town and your … condition isn’t helping your reputation any. You wouldn’t want people to think you are anymore reckless” she said as she stood up to open the door.

“Excuse me?” Your father said

“I don’t mean any harm from it Jim, I just want the best for y/n” she replied with the fakest of smiles.

“Well why don’t you leave that to me hm?” He said as he gestures for you to walk out the door with him. Chrissy and her mom not far behind.

Once you get into his truck he lets out a long sigh and you slightly wince, knowing the argument that was ahead of you.

But he never said anything.

“Um I’m gonna go find Eddie if that's ok” you whispered.

“Oh no, no way are you going anywhere near him anymore”

“What the hell, dad he is the father of my baby I can’t just ignore him,” you said, throwing your hands up.

“You can and you will y/n, I’m serious. You are not to be anywhere around him”

Note: sorry for the short chapter

Eddie was at your door so fast. He threw the door open yelling, “Y/N! Where are you!”

“Up here” you yelled back at him.

When he made his way up to your room and his stomach instantly dropped when he saw you.

You were sitting on your bathroom floor, crying in pain as blood covered your pajama shorts. He scooped you up and carried you to his van.

You sobbed quietly as he drove you to the hospital.

“It’s ok y/n/n everything is going to be fine” he kept repeating as he rubbed your thigh.

As soon as he parked the van he ran to your side to carry you into the hospital. You told him you thought you could walk but he didn’t let you.

The doctor came in to do an ultrasound while the nurse tried to get ahold of you dad. You grabbed Eddie’s hand without thinking, gripping it so tight as the tears fell down your face.

“I’m so scared” you cried out as the doctor set up the ultrasound machine.

“It’s just fine y/n, I’m right here with you” he tried to smile.

It was quiet as the doctor did the ultrasound, he concentrated on the screen and your heart felt like it stopped beating.

Until you heard the sound of a fast little heart beat.

“Ah there it is,” the doctor signed with relief. “It looks like you have something called placenta previa. This isn’t life threatening but can cause bleeding and mild to severe cramping. We will have to monitor it throughout the pregnancy to see if your placenta moves. If it does you will be fine to have a vaginal delivery, but if it doesn’t there could be some complications.”

“What type of complications?” Eddie asked.

“Well during delivery she would have a higher chance of hemorrhaging and losing too much blood. But that’s nothing we want to worry about now, now you just need to rest and drink plenty of water. I’m going to recommend bed rest until the bleeding and cramps lessen, once that happens you can return to light duty work. Try your best to keep your stress low and relax, which I know it’s easier said than done. I’m going to get you a room for the night so we can watch how much blood you are losing and get you some IV fluids but if everything is good tomorrow you can go home” the doctor informed you and Eddie as you both nodded.

As the doctor was leaving your father and Joyce got to the hospital. Your dad looked really stressed out, maybe he needed to go on bed rest you thought. The doctor filled them in on your condition.

It was silent for a bit between you and Eddie.

“Uh thanks for coming to my house so fast and bringing me here. I was really scared.” You said not making eye contact.

“Yeah yeah of course anytime. I can’t believe there is a real baby in there” Eddie said looking at your belly.

“Yeah me either, they look so different now at my first ultrasound they were just a blob” you laughed.

Eddie frowned, “I can’t believe I missed all that”

You wanted to reassure him that it was fine, but truthfully you were still a bit upset.

“Yeah, me either” you replied.

He opened his mouth to speak but your dad walked in making him let go of your hand and stand up from the chair uncomfortably.

Your dad glared at Eddie and he shrunk down, only looking at his dirty white Reebok’s.

Joyce broke the awkward tension by saying, “y/n I’m so glad you and baby are ok! The doctor said you are staying the night here. Why don’t you write down a list of things you need and we will go home and get them for you.”

You nodded as she handed you a paper and pen.

Your dad finally broke his eye contact with Eddie and came over to kiss your forehead. “I called the Wheelers to let El and Will know what was going on, Steve was there and he was really concerned. Wanted to know when he could come see you”

“Uh yeah, whenever is fine” you said nervously.

Hopper and Joyce left, leaving you and Eddie alone again. It was really awkward, tension filled the room.

“Uh so you and Harrington-“ Eddie started.

“It’s not like that Eds, he’s just been supporting me through all this. Even though it’s none of your business who I am or aren’t seeing”

“Well I would think it would be a little bit of my business, since whatever you are doing includes my child” Eddie was starting to get pissed.

“Well you didn’t even think there was a child until today so save it. I don’t care if you want to be involved or not, it's totally up to you but we are not friends. You do not get to tell me what to do or what you think. You can be quiet and supportive or go shove your head back up Chrissy ass.”

Eddie was just quiet. He knew you were right.

“So uh what’s the plan for after the baby is born” he tried to change the subject.

“Joyce’s sister is going to adopt them”

“But y/n-“ but then he stopped himself remembering what you had just said, “I mean that’s nice I guess”

Steve came barging through the door like the hospital was on fire. “Oh my god y/n are you ok? Is the baby alright? Are you hurt at all?” He came to your side not even noticing Eddie in the room.

You chuckle a bit. “We are totally fine Steve I promise”

“It was those damn round ligament pains wasn't it? I told you y/n if you did a little yoga every morning it wouldn’t be as bad”

You laughed at him and shook your head. “No it wasn’t round ligament pain Dingus, I have some type of condition called placenta previa, the doctor said we are totally safe and healthy. I just need some extra fluids and to be on bed rest for a bit. He’ll keep an eye on it for the rest of the pregnancy but we will be totally fine”

You could visibly see Steve let out a breath and relax a bit.

“Oh thank god, you gave me quite the scare” he said as he placed his hand on your belly. You smiled at him.

Eddie cleared his throat so he could acknowledge his presents.

“Well uh since everything is ok I guess I will just head home now. Uh call me if you need something” Eddie said awkwardly as he made his way out the door.

“Why don’t I get you a snack? Anything sound good?” Steve said to you.

“Oh yeah I’m starving. I’d love some salt and vinegar chips and a soda.”

“No soda you can have water, but I’ll get you whatever chips your heart desires.” He said as you laughed at him rolling your eyes.

He wasn’t far behind Eddie when he left your room.

“Hey Ed!” Steve called out, “thanks so much for getting her and bringing her here. How did you know she was hurt?”

“Um I called her and it happened when we were on the phone” Eddie said.

“Why would you call her you haven’t been talking to her for weeks”

“I know I just wanted to apologize but she got really upset with me and then started screaming in pain”

“Wait, you guys got into an argument before this happened to her? Did you do this on purpose” Steve was getting upset.

“No no the doctor said it wasn’t anyone's fault just how her polenta or whatever it’s called was forming”

“It’s a placenta, and she was totally fine until you got her all worked up again. Come on Eddie, she’s been through enough as it is. Why are you trying to make it harder on her?”

“Why the hell do you even care? It isn’t your baby and she isn’t your girlfriend” Eddie was starting to match Steve’s energy.

“Look dude just stay away from her ok? Go off with Chrissy and pretend that she doesn’t exist. She doesn’t need anything from someone who was going to be a deadbeat dad anyway, I’ve got her.”

Eddie was taken back by what Steve said. But he was right. Eddie had been awful toward you and he doubted that he could be a good father to your baby anyway. His head fell and he replied with, “I got it” and walked away.

Once he reached his van he started to cry. He realized he really messed everything up with you. He made his way home and when he got there he saw Chrissy sitting on the front porch of his trailer. She looked pissed, like she was ready for a major blowout fight.

Eddie took a deep breath in and blew it out before getting out of his truck to face her.

Double Daddy Part 5

Warnings: pregnancy, mean girls, a little angsty, mentions of food, mentions of pain

Note: I wasn’t going to post this yet but I just can’t wait. My account it being super weird and I’m unable to reply to any comments 🥺

Part 6

You had stuck the book Joyce gave you into your backpack so you could look through it during your free period. During your first class you pulled your notebook out of your book bag making the “What to Expect When You're Expecting” book fall out. Jason Carver glanced down and saw it, “whoa I think you dropped your book about pregnant ladies”

“Can it Carver” you yelled at him. Causing him to put his hands up in defense.

Later at lunch Eddie and the rest of the party sat at their usual lunch table. El and Will distanced themselves from Eddie after finding out he was the baby’s father but you knew how much Will enjoyed Hellfire. You told him to go ahead and keep playing, that it wouldn’t bother you. Chrissy was sitting practically on Eddie’s lap as she pushed around her meal on her tray. Gareth told a slightly crude joke making the whole party break out into a laugh while Chrissy sat making a face. “I don’t see how that’s funny at all” she snapped. Jeff rolled his eyes. Gareth replied, “I wish y/n still sat with us, she always thought our jokes were funny.” Eddie stiffened up and Chrissy let out an annoyed groan. “How is y/n doing anyway?” Jeff asked Will and El.

El shrugged, “good I guess. She complains a lot about how her pants don’t fit and she acts really strange all the time” Will continued, “yeah I know last night I saw her dip her banana in ranch dressing” as he made a disgusted face. “Ew that’s actually really gross” Chrissy said with a huff. She got off Eddie’s lap and started pulling him up to leave. Eddie looked over at the table you sat at with Robin, you were laughing as you dipped your banana in the ranch and Robin gagged. You looked to be really enjoying it.

It was Friday night and you were laying in bed as usual. You never went anywhere besides school and work anymore. You heard a knock on your door and perked up. It was Steve. “Hey y/n/n, whatcha up too?” He said as he entered and sat on the end of your bed.

“Clearly I’m extremely busy” you said moving your arms around and you both chuckled.

“So I was thinking, what if me and you go out tomorrow night? Maybe to Starcourt and the diner? You’ve been cooped up in this room for far too long”

“I don’t think my dad would let me Steve”

“Already checked! He said it was fine as long as with bring Will and El”

“Will and El being our babysitters? I don’t think so” you scoffed throwing your head back down on the pillow

“Come on, it will still be fun! Pretty please!” Steve said with big puppy dog eyes that were hard to say no to.

“Ok fine” you whispered.

“Perfect, I'll be here tomorrow at 4 to pick you up!”

As soon as he left you called Nancy and Robin asking them to come over tomorrow to help you get ready.

Saturday afternoon came and the girls sat on the bed as clothes covered your bedroom floor.

“I’m getting so fat, ugh none of this looks right” you said as you threw what felt like the 100th outfit you tried on to the floor.

Robin replied with, “you do know you’re pregnant right?” And nancy leaned over and hit her shoulder

“Ow sorry” Robin muttered.

“You are not fat at all y/n” Nancy said as she came up to stand next to you in the mirror Robin followed behind her.

“She’s right, you look amazing! I wish I looked like you right now” Robin replied.

“Says the two people that can still fit in their jeans” you mumble.

You finally settled on an outfit and Steve came to pick you, Will and El up.

Will and El ditched you as soon as you got to Starcourt leaving Steve and you to wonder about. You enjoyed spending time with Steve, he was funny and caring. After some time you found Will and El and made your way to the diner. You sat at your own table, facing Steve as you looked over the menu.

“I’m starving” you muttered as you flipped through the menu.

“Says the girl who had a slurpee, pretzel bites and an ice cream sundae at the mall” Steve laughed, making you turn red in embarrassment. Steve noticed and quietly said, “but you are eating for two so gotta make sure my girl is fed” which made you feel better.

“I really just want a chocolate shake with some fries” you finally said.

“Then that’s what you and baby are gonna get!” Steve said as he turned to get the waitress so he could order it.

A few booths down Eddie sat with Chrissy.

“So Chris I was reading a pregnancy book and noticed you don’t have any of the common first trimester symptoms? I’ve never seen you have morning sickness or anything” Eddie questioned her.

“Not everyone gets those symptoms Eds, I think I’m just lucky!”

“Yeah I guess that’s possible…maybe we should get you to a doctor so we know everything is alright”

“I called to make an appointment but there was a waitlist, I’ll call again this week I promise. Everything is good here” Chrissy said, forcing out a smile. She knew she was going to have to step her game up. Eddie was starting to get suspicious.

As the weeks went by you started to show more and the pregnancy symptoms got more intense.

Joyce made you a doctor's appointment where they gave you a due date and confirmed you and the baby were healthy.

As you were ending your 1st trimester you started to feel better, occasionally still experiencing morning sickness but the doctor told you that was normal.

Steve and you got super close. You hung out all the time, he tried to get you out of the house more but you often just settle for some scary movies and popcorn at home. Your dad even allowed him to take you to and from school (with Will and El supervising of course).

Steve pulled up to your house to take you to school. He knew the second he saw you that you weren’t feeling good. He got really good at reading your expressions.

You huffed are you threw yourself and your bag in the front seat.

“Not feeling well today?” Steve questioned as he rubbed your thigh.

You shook your head.

“What’s going on? Do you have a headache or just nauseous again?”

Before you could answer he said, “oh no are you getting those round ligament pains already?”

“No” you chuckle, “just feeling nauseous from the smell of my dad cooking bacon. How the heck do you know what round ligament pain is?”

“Oh I’ve been reading a pregnancy book. I’m not a girl thankfully so I have no idea what you are going through but I like to have somewhat of an idea so I can help” he said with a small smile.

“That’s really sweet Steve”

“Yay Steve that’s so sweet of you” Will mocked in the back sit with El. You turn around and punch him in the shoulder.

“Ow” Will said as he rubbed his arm.

“I made you some ginger tea y/n, I read it’s supposed to help” he said as he passed you the travel mug. “Oh and there are some crackers in the glove box, just in case”

You smiled and thanked him.

When you got to school you noticed Chrissy’s belly was still pretty flat. You weren’t huge yet by any means, and to the average person wouldn’t even guess you were pregnant. You just looked bloated.

After one of your classes you went to the restroom. Afterwards as you made your way to wash your hands you saw Chrissy at the sink fixing her lip gloss.

“You are getting fat” she said not looking away from herself in the mirror.

“Yeah weird huh. I guess you aren’t far behind me” you said with a wink as you dried your hands to leave.

The next day you had another doctor's appointment so you were late to class. You rush into Mrs Clicks class with your books in hand.

“Sorry I’m late Mrs Click here is my doctor's note” you handed it off to her. As she inspected it you noticed Eddie staring at you. You didn’t notice that your book pulled your top up a bit, slightly exposing the side of your belly. You quickly adjusted yourself and when Mrs Click accepted your note you headed to your seat.

Later that night you were home alone. Steve had to work and your dad took Joyce out for a date night. El and Will went to Mike's house so you decided to nap. That’s until the phone started ringing.

“Hello?” You picked it up slightly out of breath.

“Uh y/n? It’s me, Eddie”

Your heart dropped.

It was silent on the line for a few moments.

“Hello, are you there?” Eddie said.

“Yeah, I’m here. What do you need” you said, trying to control your tone.

“Just wanted to see how you were doing”

“So all of the sudden you care about me? After what 12ish weeks?” You scoffed.

“I never stopped caring y/n/n I promise. I just, I just got confused. Chrissy got in my head.” He sounded so small on the phone.

“Oh so you believed a girl you just met instead of me, your best friend for literally years” now you were getting pissed.

“I’m sorry”

“I don’t want your ‘sorry’ I don’t care what happened or what Chrissy said. You abandoned me when I needed you most. You made me feel…used. I don’t care what you have to say Eddie, the damage has been done”

“If you’d just let me expl-“ you cut him off, “I don’t care to hear it, Eddie seriously! I’m done with your shit. You left me to deal with the aftermath of something we both did alone. I can never forgive you for what you have done.” You started to sniffle but stopped yourself. You didn’t want him to hear you cry.

“Ok I’m-“ he started to talk again but you felt a stabbing pain in your abdomen.

“Ow!” You let out, not meaning to but you couldn’t control it.

“Are you ok?” He sounded really worried.

“Yeah I just- ow ow ow!” Tears started forming in your eyes, the pain was so intense. You dropped the phone.

“Y/n? Hello y/n!” Eddie called out but you were doubled over in pain.

“I’m coming y/n just wait right there!” Eddie yelled as he hung up the phone and ran as fast as he could to his van.
