Re: quicklog: eddie/steph in Wonder City
[Stephanie laughed, realizing as she was washing the dog that it was a boy. It was easier to focus on this now, on helping this scared dog that they had just immediately adopted into their home (no questions asked), than on the looming hurt of their family. Of the baby that never really existed. Of the fact that she would probably never be able to have their children. They hadn't talked about it -- she hadn't really spoken about it with anyone outside random, angry outbursts -- but she would bury. For him, she would bury the hurt. She wasn't allowed to feel sad when she couldn't provide Eddie with one of the few things he really wanted in life.
But the dog was easier to focus on, and she shook her head with a smirk.] Don't act like this is just my idea. You didn't say no, buck-o. [A soapy finger traced his jaw before going back to gently wash the dog in the bath.] We should name him together.
