Re: eddie/steph - bathtime.
[Eddie thought that she was allowed to hurt, that of course it messed her up.] It's not just the fact that we can't have kids for you. It's the fact that it's your body. [He said it for her because he knew it was hard enough to admit.] And, it was a nice thing to think about. After all those years of forcing myself to not even consider a house and a family. It was a nice day dream.
[He watched her fold up on the other side of the bath and had one of those moments where he realized how much she had grown up since they started dating. Stephanie was barely an adult when it all started and now she was this full grown woman who carried more on her shoulders than anyone else he knew. Eddie's eyes unfocused as he got lost in the thought before he snapped back and smiled at her.] Well, I could have asked you to do it but I thought it was more fun to sneak it. [Eddie smirked and then:] I don't- I know we're not ready for all of that shit right now. But, can I get a maybe one day, Eddie?
