Re: eddie/steph - bathtime.
[Eddie always managed to do the right thing, to zero in on something that she needed or would surprise her in the best sort of way. He always knew her buttons, and she just needed to relearn all of his, too. She knew that she wasn't the kind of wife he expected, but it was going to be fixed. She was going to fix this, fix them.
Steph spotted the momentary wiggle in his expression, and she twisted the chair around until she was facing him.] Thanks to Bruce, I guess. [She knew he had taken care of everything, and after she "died," he had surely looked in on the little blonde that he was in no way actually obligated to. After a second, she opened her arms for him to climb into the chair with her.] Cm'ere, baby. [She knew he was hurting, and she knew he wouldn't cry in front of her, but she wanted him to know it was okay to. That it would be okay to show her how much he was hurting too.]
