A Favor
You and Eddie have been together a few months. He introduced you to his son after a couple dates when he knew you were something he wanted to keep forever.
You had just got off work when Eddie called you.
âHey babe, everything ok?â You asked.
âYeah, everything is fine, can you do me a huge favor?â
âYeah, whats up?â You asked curious as to what he needed.
âCarla has a flat tire, can you go pick Christopher up from school?â He asked sounding desperate.
âYeah, is there anything I need to be able to pick him up?â You responded cheerfully.
âJust your id, I will call the school and let them nowâ
âOk, Iâll take him back to my place and wait for you to get off shift, then maybe we can do dinnerâ
âOk that sounds great, make sure he finishes his homeworkâ
âWill doâ
âAlright, thanksâ you heard him say, relief flooding his voice.
âsee you laterâ you said, hearing the line click. You made your way to the school.

You had just finished helping Christopher with his homework. The two of you were now sitting on the couch. Yâall were playing a video game together. He was beating you badly. You hear Eddie come inside. He stops and watches yâall a second before saying anything.
âHey guys!â He says.
âDad!â Christopher yells, pausing the game and putting his controller down, running towards him.
âHey bud, did you finish your homework?â He asks wrapping Christopher in a tight hug and kissing his head.
âYes, Y/n helped me!â He said.
âGood, it looks like you guys had fun, Christopher why dint you go play video games while Y/n and I make dinner?â Eddie said now making his way to where you were at the counter. He wraps his arms around you.
Now that it was just the two of you he picks you up and sits you on the counter so you are face to face. He puts his forehead on yours.
âI love you, y/nâ Eddie whispered. The two of you hadnât told each other that yet but Eddie couldnât wait.
âEddie, I-â you start to say before he cuts you off.
âIâm sorry, I know its too soon, I just saw you with him and it made me realize how much I feel.â
âEddie, I love you too, I couldnât imagine being with anyone else, you trusted me with your life today, I know you are afraid of getting hurt or worse Christopher getting hurt but I am not going anywhereâ you say to him feeling him relax in your arms.
You hear Christopher come in the kitchen. You and Eddie separate.
âWhats for dinner?â He ask.
You and Eddie look at each other, âpizzaâ you say at the same time, causing you to laugh.
You spend the rest of the evening laughing and playing with your newly found family. The 3 of you curl up for a movie. Around 9 Eddie says he should probably take the asleep Christopher home.
âThank you for everything todayâ he says in a whisper not wanting to wake the boy.
âAnytime, I love youâ you reply kissing his lips and then Christopherâs head.
âI love you tooâ he says before walking out the door.
