I'm ready to start posting some new chapters to this story. It's been a while so I thought I would do a run down of what's happened in the previous chapters first.
When Eddie can't take the guilt for his part in their breakup he walks out of the hospital of his own accord. The guy's worry unsure of where he went. Janet shows up and tries to make Eddie take his pain pills since the hospital contacted her as his in case of emergency.
Eddie can't resist her smell and all the pain and love colide inside of him as he makes love to her though he can't find it within to kiss her because she wouldn't look at him. She was hesitant and knew he just wanted to take what was his back and left as soon as it was over. Eddie stopped her still when he whispered her name as she turned the knob to leave. He confessed his love never looking at her and she agreed to wait forever for him to come back to her.
He fought back the physical sickness brought on every time he laid eyes on Rory. He tried to pretend Rooster didn't exist and Janet pushed Hannah away feeling she did the same thing Hannah had done all those years before and she didn't want to live Hannah's life.
When Eddie finally confronted Rooster he learned from Rory that she ruffled Janet's feathers on purpose by telling her he was sad and he knew the magnitude of the destruction that would have caused her self esteem. He spent the night at his office as not to disturb Phil's very successful relationship though he wanted to be with Janet that night. Janet filled Ickey in on a few things but didn't divulge the actual problem.
The Rory tried to see him the more he dreamed about making love to Janet and all the things he wanted to do to and with her. He knew it wouldn't stop until he figured everything out. When Rory strutted in BFW willing to ease the pressure in his pants Eddie decided it was time to teach her a little humility and backed her against the wall for a erection throbbing kiss though he didn't let their bodies touch only to turn around and realized forever was there to see him. Rory fussed over his cut hand like he was her responsibility and Janet kept her distance and proper place in his life. She asked him to stop by the bar later and he agreed that he would but that it would be late due to a job.
Rory jumped on the ban wagon and spent all night trying to crawl under Janet's skin about him not showing. Janet reversed the situation and suggested maybe she wasn't as good as she thought since she was buying her own drinks it turned into a nasty exchange of words that Eddie happened to overhear on the phone.
Janet meet him outback and they both figured all was lost once and for all but ended up taking a ride so they could talk. The ride landed them down a back road in Mission flats where they got out most of what the needed to say to one another and Janet offered to comfort him until they could work things out. comfort they did right up to the point they had to have Ickey rescue them he following morning. He swore to keep it quiet though Janet doubted he could.
Upon returning to the Ridge, Eddie called to talk to her only to have Rooster answer her phone. He saw red and let Janet have it. Janet in turn put Rooster in his place which was outside of her circle of people good enough to be a friend.
Eddie and Janet wrestled with naming what she had done but they had some space and time to confront and deal with it as Janet left to visit her grandparents. Eddie found himself missing her after a week and made a midnight run just to see her for a few hours. He discovered however that his heart was overpowering his lap and had to force himself to leave before she woke. Janet had to face her grands about her night time visitor. He sent flowers with an apology and she returned the gesture giving the guys clue that he wasn't spending all of his time alone as originally thought.
Another week passed and Janet returned just in time for girls night out the guy's interrupted. Eddie and Janet spent the night engaging in foreplay within the hallway to the restrooms and a banter of lines and drinks as they secretly flirted. The guy's forced Eddie into saying he didn't care what or who she did. They were over. Rory couldn't resist a little more feather ruffling and Janet retaliated with a shot that took her breath and burned her throat. Janet didn't like that Eddie had yet to put her in her place.
They snuck back into his room unnoticed and played the dirty sex game which was overheard by Phil and Pizza girl. The two unsure of the identity of Eddie's guest but very sure of his ability to satisfy her. Again Rory came over to offer Eddie some midnight therapy sessions only to overhear Eddie begging another woman to come back to bed. She now had a serious distaste for pizza girl whom was so proud of herself for taking up for Janet though she was of the impression Janet had bounced back rather nicely. Eddie did beg Janet back into bed but so he could make love to her. She took her truck and left before daylight and Eddie went to reclaim it from Sully around lunch having to dodge Phils questions.
Rooster made thing difficult and only upset Eddie all over again. A few days later he showed up on Janet's door step. They talked and nothing else. Eddie asked her out to the french restraunt he had denied her before. They had a good time and then stopped by Sully's where they tried to convince the guy's they were going to be just friends. Ickey didn't buy it and passed Janet a napkin to get under Eddie's skin. Eddie didn't care for the lusting his buddies were suddenly doing over his Janet.
They took advantage of the 'benifits' part of the friendship and as Janet told him it was okay to go before morning it killed him to do so. They continued to work out their anger alone and their desires together. They got a little brave and Janet joined all the guy's at Eddie's to watch the game. They all managed to get wasted on a score bet. Eddie and Janet let some of their affection show through as Ickey was outed about dating Darcey. Janet told off on Eddie about not actually sleeping with Darcey because she played a joke on him about being a virgin. Nick confessed he and Aubrey were having trouble due to her calling out for Ronnie in the heat of the moment. Owen continued to work on his relationship mending with Allison. Phil and Pizza Girl gazed at a peacefully sleeping Eddie with Janet in his arms.
Janet finally confided in Hannah again. Hannah was surprised that Janet had been having sex with Eddie the whole time even though they weren't officially a couple, more surpised was she that it was Janet's idea. Janet could tell her friend was having problems with Sam growing up and unsurfaced more of Hannah's guilt over lying about Gavin being his dad. Janet urged her to come clean in part at least and make some peace with it all. Rory mysteriously returns just as she had and departed before.
Eddie and Janet had spent a great deal of time sneaking in and out of each others houses but they had also spent many nights alone. Eddie was looking forward to a peaceful evening of sipping his beer only to have a tiff with Russo and then Rory planting herself on the stool next to him. He was short and to the point every time he spoke to her though he ignored a lot of what she said. He called Janet to let her know Rory was there and asked her to join him. Rory knew it was a woman on the other end of the line and made an effort to be overheard.
Eddie kissed Janet for the first time in public since the breakup and then left Rory and Janet to hash out their differences. Eddie returned and Janet made a lovely spew about feeding him enough to counter act the energy he was be expending with her and Rory took advantage of Janet's brief absence to entice Eddie into a little fun with her and make rude remarks about Janet. When Janet returned Eddie made it very clear he wanted to go 'home' by inquiring about leaving her car and whether or not he had clean clothes. Rooster took the opportunity to feed Rory some information about Janet's slip up and took one hell of a hit from Eddie as he suggested they would be perfect of one another then took Janet home where they made love and decided they were ready to put it past them.
The following morning was extremely pleasant and Janet moved on Eddie's feeling like her house was home by putting a key in his bag of cookies. At work the guy's ragged him about why he didn't want breakfast after his brief talk with the cops over hitting Russo. Eddie didn't want it announced but it was to late to pay the price Russo had spilled it so he gave his statement then called Janet. They agreed to talk over lunch which they did but her never mentioned the key. They guy's pointed out his new found key as well as they started to put together a few things about Rooster. They had plans for later that night but Janet would be late due to helping Hannah with wedding plans. She talked to Hannah about giving Eddie the key so cowardly and him having yet responded.
She was relieved to find he used the key and was currently in the shower and he had brought some things of his over. It took Pizza Girl and Phil a week to realize Eddie was gone. Pizza Girl made a big declation at BFW's about it being because of her presence and Eddie admitted him and Janet were back together.
Janet and Eddie officially decided to live together but Eddie took his time moving everything in. He wasn't ready to let go of his old room. The gang learned Darcey and Janet were friends and Janet was behind the whole joke on Eddie. Eddie confronted Matt after his 3 month stint in the iron bar inn about his feeling for Janet and that they would be best forgotten.
They engaged in a very lust full encounter of the table of Laush's usual booth only to realize in the middle of the night that it would be on video. Janet nearly had a meltdown and Eddie didn't get to the tapes before Rooster did. Eddie was less than pleased that he watched it. He didn't tell Janet but when he got home he watched it himself soon joined by a protesting Janet shortly before they started an reenactment on the couch.
When Mother natures reared it's ugly head Janet and Eddie were on opposing teams. He didn't get it and she wasn't explaining it. They ended up in a bitter argument over Eddie lack of commitment because he wouldn't let go of his room. They made up with a simple bout of making out later that night and Janet agreed they would attend Supreme combat pasta night.
The guy's report consisted of wondering why Latekka wasn't sitting in Sully's with them. Nick said Aubrey had put a little more gas to the relationship. Ickey was turning things up with Darcey. Owen and Allison were still improving. Darcey seduced Ickey that night in his own bed. Aubrey seduced Nick right out of talking about Ronnie.
Combat Pasta night turned out to rub Janet the wrong way as well and Phil was slow to catch on about the ladies shopping for lingerie. The guy's fut the night short when they realized their women were sick to their stomachs over it. Janet was surprised by Eddie afterwards having packed up his room in his off time. The night ended on a good note with Eddie deciding he wanted to marry Janet.
Hannah's bachelorette party was a whirlwind for Eddie. He dug through the lingerie she asked him not to only to find a pregnancy test and reacted unfavorably at first. Janet was hurt but informed him it wasn't for them it was for Darcey. He promised he wouldn't say anything. They guy's headed out and the girls enjoyed their girl time complete with a stripping fireman. They decided to return the favor to the guys and Janet seduced Eddie into letting them in the house and the poker game where he had just comped to plans of prosing to Janet the next trip they took to providence.
After couples strip poker and Darcey telling Ickey she was pregnant, he was happy about it, the guy's sat naked as the girls ditched them so they could enjoy the torture of a female cop finding them in such a state. The cop was a stripper and the guy's couldn't enjoy themselves for feeling it was a trap. Janet and Eddie spent one last night in his bed up stairs, then pancakes with Phil before heading home and ultimately dealing with everyone elses problems as Ickey panicked over Darcey's irritability, Nick and Ronnie faced each other about Aubrey and finally Janet and Eddie got some alone time.
Aubrey was left in shock after Nick comped her with some very one sided sexual pleasure then took off for New York with out saying a word to her. Eddie made plans for Providence only to nearly be at a loss when Janet informed him they weren't going. He suggest a weekend getaway and she went for it. Ickey's mom insulted Darcey and ultimately Ickey had to put his foot down only to give a way that Darcey was with his child. He decided he would buy a house and Darcey would live with him.
New Chapeters will be up soon. Hope everyone enjoed the recap. I needed it myself LOL! Some interesting revalations coming up...
