Getting the girl chapter 12

Later that evening, they had checked in to the hotel on the sea front and put their luggage in their room; Rachel had booked a family suite with two seperate bedrooms: a double for her and Eddie and two singles in the other for Michael and Phil to share. They had dinner of fish and chips before heading onto the pier; Rachel watched as Michael stood at the 2p machine hoping to win the prize that was dangling on the edge. She smiled as Eddie wrapped his arms around her and kissed her forehead, silently thankful for the distraction from the morning.
"He's happy" he said, motioning to Michael who was getting Phil to help him.
"Good; I was thinking we could take him to the doctor who museum tomorrow"
"He'd like that; thank you. You didnt have to do this"
"You both needed the break...and it'll do Phil some good too"
"Rachel...we got it" Michael yelled, showing her the Spongebob toy that had just dropped.
"That's great honey; come on, let's find something else to win" she said, holding her hand out for him.
An hour or so later, they were back in their room with Michael asleep, Phil revising on his bed in their room with his headphones in as to not disturb the young boy and Eddie and Rachel lying in their bed.
"You okay?" she asked him as he ran his fingers through her hair.
"I guess; I wish Michael hadnt had to go through any of this. He's just a kid; he doesnt deserve it"
"He'll get through it...and so will you"
"I couldnt have done it without you...I mean, we havent really spent much time alone together"
"We will, Michael comes first"
"I know this hasnt been easy for you either; in the space of three weeks, you've had Phil dumped on you, started a new realtionship and now Michael..."
"Eddie, I dont mind; Mel has always been unreliable and unpredictable but you and Michael, I wouldnt change that. Do I wish we couldve got to know each other better beforehand? Sometimes but that was my fault for been so insecure; he's a great kid and I dont mind. If I did, I wouldnt let you stay at my house would I?"
"You're amazing, you know that?" he said, leaning in for a kiss.
"So I've been told" she whispered, leaning in for another kiss.
Slowly, the kiss intensified until Eddie's hand slid under her pyjama bottoms and underwear; she sighed as his fingers brought her over the edge. Completely exhausted, she snuggled against him and slept until the door opened and Michael climbed into the bed, cuddling her and in tears.
"What's the matter honey?" she whispered.
"Bad dream" he wept.
"It's okay; you can stay here with me an daddy. Go back to sleep honey"
She rubbed his back as they both slowly drifted off again.
