Eddie who doesn't die but leaves town the second he's recovered enough, and Steve who finds out he's pregnant the day after. Steve who comes to the trailer park looking for Eddie scared out of his mind only to find he's no longer there, didn't say goodbye, didn't leave a note.
Eddie who kind of assumed it was a fling for Steve, didn't mean anything; who thought it was a safe way to test the waters for Steve, before finding something else, someone else.
Steve who takes it the wrong way, always. Steve who thinks it was a fling for Eddie, didn't mean anything. Steve who can't bear the thought of turning into his mom, keeping someone around only for the sake of a child they didn't even want so he doesn't try to contact Eddie.
A few months later Eddie comes back to visit, Wayne's having a bit of a health scare. And who's also at the hospital? Steve, visibly pregnant unmated Steve.
Eddie might have failed school a few times but he looks at that bump and does some basic math, that's definitely his.
And after a while Eddie keeps saying the wrong thing. He tries to reassure Steve he's there he's all in but, well. He says he wouldn't have left if he knew about the pup but that's exactly Steve's worst nightmare, wouldn't leave the pup but he did leave Steve, because Steve's not enough is he? He's never been.
ok but you know what? Steve telling Robin about the baby and it being a parallel to the bathroom scene like "Eddie left town" and then "I'm pregnant" and Robin going "What does Eddie leaving have to do with you being pregnant?" so Steve goes "... Robin" all soft and sad and Robin going "oh".
