I do wanna give an update to my lovelies! I’m sorry for not updating the story.
Since the middle of October I’ve been dealing with some health problems that only a few people I’m close to in life and on discord know about.
I’ve been mentally and physically drained from my health problem but I know once everything is figured out I’ll be okay ,so I hope y’all understand 🥺🫶🏻
I have held on posting the last two because I’m working on others to post incase my health problem causes more issues.
Thank you for the lovelies that have been checking up on me and Journey. Little girl is thriving and growing everyday. She’s been super clingy the last few months so when I do have free time or I feel good I’m enjoying my time with her.
I’m sorry for not posting chapter four and five, we’ve had a long two days with going back and forth to doctor appointments due to Journey’s eye ! But they will be posted tonight 🖤
summary: reader is in a complicated situation because she truly never thought eddie would come back. Steve comes to Robin about how much he loves y/n but he’s afraid of rejection.
“okay what the hell was that Steve?” talking about the moment between him and Eddie.
“What do you mean?” looking at me with a confused face
“Really? That shit with Eddie Dingus.” taking the last bite of my pizza.
“That was like jealousy was taking over your ass.”
“Mhm” is all he said.
“Steve if you’re worried about y/n, I don’t think she’s really going to forgive him right away..so it’s like the best time to tell her how you feel. I mean y’all would be so cute together…if you don’t. how will you ever know how she feels about you ?” I’m rambling on now trying to make him feel somewhat better.
“Robin calm down Jeez” Steve starts laughing. “I know she isn’t going to forgive him right away but he was her first love and the one she has kids with” lowering his tone at the last words so Eddie wouldn’t hear.
“I just don’t want him hurting her, I’ve done everything to make her happy again and I hated seeing her like that…” voice chokes a bit “uh we all did”
“Mhm we all did but you did more Steve.”
“Yeah…I did have something planned tonight but him showing up into town probably ruined that.
“Oooo what ?”
“I rented the Labyrinth for her and the kids to have a movie night and spend sometime with them.”
“You hate that movie”
“I know but she loves it” throwing his hands up in defense.
“Cheesy dude just cheesy” I laugh at him.
“I’ll talk to her okay,promise.”
Sound of a car pulling up but there was no sound of the person getting out.
“Has to be y/n” I said looking at Steve getting up from his seat, walking towards the window.
“Yeah it’s her.” Steve says pushing the curtain to the side,watching y/n
“Yeah it’s her.” Steve says pushing the curtain to the side,watching y/n
“She looks nervous Robin” Steve throwing his head back to look at me
“Do you blame her?” giving him are you stupid look.
“No but I won’t let anything happen she should know that”
“She’s coming in.” Still standing at the window watching y/n
“Stalker much Steve?” I laugh at him at how he looks like a lost puppy when she comes around.
They love each other too much but I think they both don’t realize it. Y/N is afraid of rejection and losing Steve so she hasn’t said anything and I think it’s the same with Steve.
Steve is a whole different person and they make each other happy so for the love of god someone make it happen because I’ve tried. With Eddie being back home, hopefully it will push Steve to finally open up to her this time.
(Y/N’s Pov)
I wake up startled by the sound of the phone ringing right by my head on the night stand.
Only reason one of them would be calling me right now, would be something was wrong with the twins.
I rush to grab the phone to answer it
“Hello?”
“Y/N you need to come over now” I hear Robin on the other end
My heart drops thinking something happened to my babies.
“Robin what’s going on?! Is something wrong with the twins m?” holding the phone with my shoulder to keep it pressed up to my ear, rushing to grab a pair of jeans from my dresser.
“ no they’re fine but this is a bigger problem”
Calming down knowing the twins are okay.
“For fuck sake Robin you scared me.” letting a deep breath out and laughing
“What is it?”
“Eddie’s here” Robin says quietly
Her saying his name sent mixture of chills and heat through my body.
“You might want to get here before Steve and Eddie murder each other”
“I’ll be right there, where are the twins.?”
“They’re taking a nap in Dustin’s room, he hasn’t seen them but it’s best if you get here before he does”
“Be there in 5, love you bye”
“Love you to”
Rushing to put my jeans on and grabbing my black high tops slipping them on to my feet. I look at myself in the mirror.God I look a mess.Fixing my black cropped Black Sabbath shirt that I was sleeping in and throwing on my Jean jacket since it was raining outside.
“This will do” I said to myself grabbing my keys off the nightstand and head out of the house.
As I’m driving to Dustin’s my thoughts start to scramble everywhere on how I should tell Eddie about the twins or what he’ll even say to me when I get there.
I slowly pull-up to Dustin’s house and a old beat up van caught my sight of vision and my world felt like it stopped. I can’t believe he’s actually back home.. memories of the last day I seen him,comes crawling back in… I brush my fingers through my hair and shaking my head. Hoping I’m just asleep at home dreaming the phone conversation with a Robin and seeing Eddie’s van.
Looking back up at the van. Nope, not a dream..
I take a deep breath trying to collect myself and stay calm before I walk in.
“Okay we can do this what’s the worst that could happen?” I said to myself
I get out of the car and start walking up the driveway. Nervously playing with the hem of my jacket sleeve. Stopping myself at the bottom of the porch steps because tapping noises were coming from the window. I look up to see Steve giving me a smile with a little wave.
“Hey it’ll be okay, I’m right here” Steve mouthing the words. I give him a smile.
Just knowing Steve is here makes things easier because we all know either I make this a bad situation or Eddie makes it one. So here goes nothing.
I push through my thoughts and feelings right now and swing the door open by accident.
Standing in the doorway I look from the living room to dinning room. No sight of Eddie.
Thank god. sighing in relief
I’ve missed him…the sound of his voice, the way he reacts to certain things around him. His touch. I’ve longed 2 years of just having a hug from him.But it hurts knowing he wouldn’t even call to talk to me those two years. It’s like he completely forgot about me. So my feelings for him have slow pushed away..which I’m starting to think is a good thing.
Robin looks at me and points to the kitchen door. I shake my head in acknowledgment of her telling me where Eddie is.
Before I could say anything to her or Steve.
Someone grabs me wrapping their arms around my my body. “How was your nap?” placing their chin on top of my head.
By the warmth of the touch and the tone of their voice I can tell it’s Steve.
“It was needed, thank you”my body lets go of all my thoughts and taking in Steve’s hug. Placing my head on his chest.
“Of course” kissing my forehead and letting go from the hug.
“Journey and Edward are taking a nap as we speak” Steve smiles. “He hasn’t seen them if that’s what you’re worried about by the way”
“Robin called me”
“I know I told her to” Steve says looking at Robin.
“Well you missed those two..” pointing at Steve “going at each other’s throats thankfully it stopped before it got worse” Robin says shaking her head at him.
“Steve?” giving him a confused face.
“I’m sorry okay, I just don’t want him coming back to hurt you again and now that the twins are involved,that’s all. I care about you three and he needed to know he’s not on my good side” grabbing my hand. “whatever happens, you have us” waving his pointer finger back and forth between him and Robin.
He knows Eddie was my first love and the reason I pushed myself from dating anyone again because I was hurt.
“After we leave here why don’t we go to my place or yours to watch a movie I rented for y’all ” Steve looking at me with a big smile “Sound good?”
“Sounds perfect Stevie,what movie ”
“It’s a surprise” wiggles his fingers at me
“Steve come on tell me” giving him puppy dog eyes.
Before Steve could say anything Dustin is walking out of the kitchen talking to Eddie.
I can feel Steve’s grip on my hand get tighter. I run my thumb over the top of his hand to let him know it’s okay. His grip still wouldn’t budge.
Steve come on you aren’t making this better for me right now….
I look up towards Dustin and make eye contact with those golden brown eyes. Sending a mixture of chills and heat all through my body.
Taking a good look at the man who left me heartbroken slowly take me back in with those eyes.. no y/n you have to stay strong. What he did was wrong,remember?
Eddie’s pov
Watching her stand in the doorway looking around with a worried face on, makes me hate myself a little more after the way I’ve been. Making me want to go in there to hug her tight because I know how she gets, when she’s anxious. I noticed her facial expression change when she hasn’t seen me. Great she really hates me man.
Dustin’s talking about the last dnd game they had in Hellfire but I honestly wasn’t paying attention. Watching Steve grab her into a hug. Touching her. Fuck maybe Gareth was right. Steve did swop in.
“Uhh Earth to Eddie” Dustin waving his hand in my face “are you even listening”
Snapping out of my trance I have on them two looking at a annoyed Dustin.
Dustin looking towards y/n and Steve.
“They aren’t together if that’s what you’re thinking.” Dustin chimes in
“Alots just happened in two years of you being gone.I’m not supposed to say this but she does miss you.” Dustin giving me a slight smile. “I’ll catch at her house listening to yalls album dancing around like a idiot.”
“Dustin Henderson stop playing with me right now” laughing because I know he’s lying.
“On hellfire I’m being serious” giving me a reassuring look throwing his hands up “just give it time”
“Thanks man”throwing my hand on his shoulder “I’ll wait for her” smiling at the thought of what our life would be like if we never broke up.
“Okay Eddie” smiling “Steve is probably calmed down now if you wanna go in there” walking towards the living room
“Yeah I bet”
Only because y/n is here. he’s going to try not to look like a ass. I followed Dustin into the living room and look up at y/n staring at me, then I noticed Steve holding her hand.
I know I shouldn’t ask but since no one is saying anything. Dustin said they weren’t but that seems off and I need to know from her.
“You’re dating him now?” asking in a serious tone. Pointing at Steve
“Eddie I told you they weren’t” Dustin throws his head back looking at me.
“Excuse me?” I hear y/n say in a pissed tone as she raised her brows. Man I loved when she was pissed and feisty.
“You heard me y/n…”
Before she could say anything Steve was walking towards me.
“And if we were? Shouldn’t be a problem for you Munson.”
Dustin stands in between us putting his hands on our chest trying to keep us getting any closer.
Robin got up to stand next to y/n holding her arm.
“Steve I was asking princess over there, not you pretty boy” looking down at Steve pointing towards y/n
“ don’t call me that Eddie” y/n says crossing her arms over her chest rubbing her finger on her forearm.
“Whoever I date shouldn’t be your concern at all Eddie”
Steve and Robin look at each other with a worried face
“So that’s a yes” laughing
“Let me guess the second we broke up you go running to Steve like a fragile whore?
“Oh don’t start that bullshit with me Eddie. Standing there acting like the boys or Dustin haven’t told me about every girl you hooked up with on tour!”
I look over at dustin scared shitless because y/n rated him out.
“What you expect me to stay single waiting for someone I left who probably wasn’t waiting for me?” laughing at her.
“Do you always like starting shit man just leave it alone” Steve steps in again.
I ignored him and kept looking at y/n
“So what is it princess? You’ve been whoring around to?”
Y/n stands there in silence looking up at the stairs with tears starting to form in her eyes.
Fuck what did I just do man?
“Alright that’s it” Steve grabbing me by the collar of my jacket pushing me outside on to the porch.
“Don’t ever call her that again, got it!”
“What are you going to do about it?”
“we aren’t dating okay. But if you ever call her that again or hurt her. You’re a dead man Munson”
“Harrington don’t lie I saw how you two were in the living room.” easing my voice and pushing him off of me.
I grab a cigarette and light it.
Suddenly the door swings open.
“Steve inside now” y/n says walking out of the house
“Y/N?”
“No Steve go please .”
Oh she’s pissed.
Steve squeezes passed y/n walking into the house leaving just me and her outside.
She stood there for a few seconds just staring at me like she wanted to cuss me out.
“What did I do to you to be like this to me the second you seen me?”
“I was mad”
“Mad? Mad about what Eddie?” watching her throw her hands up in the air and dropping them back down.
“I saw the way you two were with each other in the living room”
“Eddie you have to understand that Steve has been my side through a lot in the passed two years and we’ve gotten close”
“Hm” shaking my head
“Only person who can be mad in this situation is me Eddie. Not you.” those blue eyes looking into my soul filled with anger.
“You cheated on me leaving me behind like I was nothing to you. Left me standing there broken into a million pieces . So no Eddie you don’t deserve to be mad at me”
I stand there in silence. Not knowing what to say.
“I tried calling you everyday for two years and I hated myself for it because all I did was want us to talk and work things out but all you did was ignore me! Like what is wrong with you ? I was reaching out to you despite everything you have done!”
“Y/n I was hurting to that’s why I couldn’t talk to you” grabbing her hands .
“Yeah..so was I Eddie” she pulls her hands away sitting down in the steps.
She doesn’t believe me.
“Princess will you just hear me out for just a min..?” sitting down next to her.
“I’m sorry for doing what I did okay..I should’ve never left the way I did. I was drunk and trying everything to get you to hate me, before I left because I couldn’t live with the thought of you feeling alone.. trust me I hate myself for it but anytime I would think about you I would go out drink and do drugs while the guys were worried about me it got so bad that they never mentioned your name because they knew I fucked up with losing the girl I wanted to marry and have a family with.”
I know my words don’t mean anything to her right now and I understand that. She has every reason to be mad at me.
“You didn’t leave me alone Eddie”y/N’s voice started to crack.
“Well of course not you had everyone”
“No Eddie not them” she is now looking at me with tears in her eyes.
“What do you mean?”
She takes a deep breath in trying to hold back more tears.
“2 months after you left I found out I was pregnant..”
My mind went blank from the words that came out of her mouth.
“What.?” looking at her with a shocked face
“You’re now just telling me this?” Raising my voice a little.
“I knew you would be this way about it” shaking her head laughing.
“No seriously y/n are you being for real”
“I wouldn’t joke about something like that Eddie” shaking her head.
“Wait so the pictures in the kitchen aren’t your cousins are they?”
“No”
Wait I have kids with y/n!! So there’s hope for getting my girl back.
“I’m sorry y/n..if I knew I would’ve been here everyday but now I’m here” grabbing her hand.
“Wait did everyone know about me being the dad?”
“No only close friends and family.”
“Wayne?”
I can see y/n get sad by me mentioning Wayne.
“No but I have a feeling he’s been the one bringing diapers and toys to my doorstep every week…since I ran into him at the general store with them.”
“Sounds like something he would do, if he knows you’re alone taking care of two kids.”
“Yeah I know”
Griping her hand a little.
“Can we try us again y/n..I know I just got back home but I will do anything to get you back sweetheart.”
She sat there staring off into the distance with confused emotions in her eyes.
“Y/N?”
“Eddie I can’t”she sighs
“not right now.”
My heart breaks a little from those words.
Letting go of her hand and standing up in front of her.
“Is it because of Steve?” pointing at the front door.
“What?” Y/N’s neck basically snapping to look up at me
“Y/N come on you heard me?”
“Is it because of him?”
I’m really starting to feel like I lost her and there’s no hope here.
“No Eddie, you gotta understand I’m not ready to be hurt again.”
She’s hiding the fact she has feelings for Steve to protect my feelings. I know she is.
“So you don’t want me at all?” raising my voice a little.
She sat there in silence.
“Fuck y/n will you answer me?!”
Suddenly the front door is being opened with Steve and Robin standing there.
“She hasn’t told you has she?” Pointing at Steve.
Steve looks at y/n with a confused face.
“Fuck me man, I’m so glad I didn’t miss this” rubbing the bridge of my nose trying to keep my anger in.
I knew coming back home would end up hurting me even more that’s why I didn’t miss it.
“What’s going on?” Robin says walking in between me and y/n. Looking down at y/n with concern
I look down at y/n, still looking at me with glazed eyes.
“Eddie please don’t..not here” her voice cracking
“Y/N doesn’t want me anymore” looking at Steve dead in the eyes.
“Do you princess?” looking back down at her.
She was silent once again. Y/N stands up putting her hands in her jacket pockets.
“No.”
I shake my head, scratching the tip of my head in disbelief.
I really fucked this one up big time.
Everyone stood there watching us not saying anything but I watch Robin wipe a tear from y/n’s face. Whispering something to her.
“It’s okay y/n.” Robin whispers to her
I walk over to my van to calm down from what just happened. Lighting up another cigarette.
———————————————
Few minutes passed and everyone went back inside while y/n was walking towards me.
“Eddie?” y/n says in her sweet calming voice.
“Yeah ?”
“Can we still be friends?”y/n sighs.
“You were just best friend since we were little kids Eds and I do miss having him around..” she says grabbing my cigarette from my mouth.
My heart warms up hearing her ask me that. I really thought she didn’t want anything to do with me at all.
“Of course butthead, now give that back” snatching the cigarette from her.
“Edward looks just like you.” Y/n giggles
“Edward?” looking at y/n with a big smile.
“I know, I know. It’s silly but I named our son after you.” She says looking down at the ground trying to hide her smile.
“I love it y/n”
“What about our daughter?”
“Journey”
“Journey?” Laughing a little bit.
This girl did not just name our daughter after one of her favorite bands.
“After the band y/n?”
“No Eddie!” Y/N starts laughing.
“My pregnancy was pretty hard with them and I had a really horrible time when it came to her. She struggled a lot throughout the pregnancy so I just thought the name fit for her”
“I loved it the second you said her name y/n, I was just playing with you.” handing her the the cigarette that was almost out.
Y/n grabs it.
“I’m really happy you’re back home so they can be around you Eddie” she looks up at me.
“I know what I said back there was kinda harsh but having you here will be good for them”
“I’m still in shock that I’m a father but just glad it wasn’t with a random chick” slapping my forehead.
“You’ll be a great dad Eds”
“You think?”
“I know so. Come on they’re probably up from their nap.” y/n throwing the cigarette butt on to the ground reaching for my hand.
My stomach turned into knots nervous of meeting my kids for the first time.
“Think they’ll like me?” Grabbing her hand.
“Yes Eddie,you’ll be fine” walking hand and hand to the front door.
I let go of her hand before we walk in, watching her walk into the house.
“mama” I sweet voice coming from down infront of us.
My eyes light up at the sight of Journey. She’s beautiful.
Y/N picks up Journey turning around to where I can fully see her.
“I want you to meet someone.” Y/N presses her forehead against Journey’s giving her butterfly kisses.
“This is dada”
Hearing y/n say that made my heart burst into happiness.
Something started tugging at my pant leg. Looking down I see Edward.
Woah Y/N wasn’t kidding he looks exactly like my baby pictures.
Edward reaching up for me to pick him up.
I squat down at his level and grab him.
“What’s up little man” pushing a little curl out of his face
Edward smiles big
“Dada” Edward says poking my nose.
My eyes widen in shock looking at y/n
“Oh my god that’s his first word !!” Robin jumps up in absolutely shock
Y/N standing there looking at me with a big smile.
“Yes baby that’s dada from the pictures”
Wait I didn’t expect her to do something like that
“Pictures?” Looking at y/n
Journey basically trying to jump out of y/N’s arms reaching for me. I reach to grab her and place her on the opposite side from Edward.
“I show them pictures everyday so when you would come back home they would know”
“We all did” looking around at everyone.
“Really”
“Yeah” everyone says
Journey burrows her face into the side of my neck grabs a hand full of my hair. Getting her fingers wrapped in my hair.
I flinched in pain while Journey is giggling.
Y/n helps getting Journey’s hand out of my hair.
“That’s why I cut my hair” y/n chuckles playfully fluffing her hair
“She’s mean sometimes with hair”
“That’s okay, sweet little princess can’t do anything wrong” smiling at Journey.
“Are y’all doing anything tonight.?”
“Uh yeah actually” y/n looking at Steve then back at me
“We’re having a movie night before these two”
Looking at Steve noticing his body shifts a bit.
“That’s okay, I can come over tomorrow morning.”
“That’s fine with me” y/n smiles.
“You can bring Wayne if you’d like Eddie.”
“Of course y/n, you know he would be happy to meet them”
“I’ve been dying for him to meet them. I’ve really missed him. But since you left I haven’t seen him”
“I’m sorry that was my fault”
“It’s okay Eddie.”
“It’s starting to get late and I haven’t seen Wayne yet” looking at the twins.
“I’ll see you two cuties tomorrow” kissing their foreheads
Journey leaning her forehead into my lips again. Giving her another kiss on the forehead.
“She loves forehead kisses” y/n chuckles.
“I know where she gets that from” smiling at her. Y/N always loved receiving forehead kisses since we were in middle school.
“Yeah” y/n blushes
Hell yeah I got her to blush.
“I’ll see you tomorrow, okay?” Handing y/n the twins.
“We will be up waiting” y/n smiling at me grabbing the twins from me.
“Bye guys it was good seeing y’all but I need to go see my old man.” Waving at everyone, walking towards the front door.
“Bye man don’t forget about Friday”
“Henderson you’re a butthead you know that right? What makes you think I’d miss hellfire” laughing at him
“I’ll see you here on Friday”
“Y/N is letting us have our campaign at her place actually”
Shooting my head back to look at y/n standing their with a big smile.
“What”
“I’m good at being the DM every now and then”
“She’s pretty good at it” Dustin laughs.
“Bullshit the Y/N being a Dungeon Master?”
“It’s basically telling a bedtime story Eddie” y/n scoffs:
“A scary one y/n”
“Well I can be scary” y/n laughs making a growling noise
I shake my head and smile at her.
“I’ll be there to see that”
“Oh no you’re back so that’s your job now”
“Oh no sweetheart I want to see you be the DM at least once.”
Y/N’s face goes beat red.
“Bye guys” walking out of the house, happy I made her blush twice since I’ve been home. I know it’s not much but it’s good knowing I can still do that to her.
Maybe being friend right now will be good for us to get close again, I can’t live without her and I won’t let that happen.
authors note: I’m so sorry for the long wait on this one and for it not to be the best. I’ve already started on four so there wouldn’t be a long wait! 🖤I promise next chapter will be better. A lot has been going on and I had writers block on trying to re write this whole chapter
