Re: eddie/steph - bathtime.
[He tilted his chin down and opened up his arm for her. Resting his hand on her bare hip he managed a smile and shook his head at every sorry she had for him. Eddie wasn't selfish enough to blame it all on her and honestly he didn't think he deserved anything. He was lucky to have her and no matter how much he hurt, no matter how big of a hole this left in him, he had to focus on that.]
I will. [He nodded about the therapist and then reached to touch her face.] Don't worry about the doctor until you're ready. I'm serious. [Eddie didn't want to get in deeper tangled problems because he forced her to do something she wasn't ready for. Now? Now everything was a delicate, fragile thing that could break if he wasn't careful. Eddie wasn't used to their relationship being that and he could barely believe they had become so weak, but what else could he do?]
