A few mornings later, Eddie awoke to a text from Nick Gage.
[Text: Nick:] The deed is done. Kenny, Nick, and Matt, are all dead. I made it look like suicide. Nobody will ever suspect a thing.
Eddie smiled at the text. [Text: Eddie:] You're the best, man. I'm sure Jon can rest easy now. How much do I owe ya?
[Text: Nick:] This one is on the house. I know how passionate you are when you are worried about your loved ones. And for what they did to him, they deserved to die anyways.
[Text: Eddie:] Thanks dude, you're the best.
[Text: Nick:] I know.
Eddie chuckled softly and laid his phone down on the night stand. He heard a soft groan come from Jon and stroked the younger man's hair until he woke up. "Morning sleepyhead." He smiled softly when Jon opened his eyes. "I have some good news for you."
"What is it?" Jon asked sleepily.
"Kenny, Nick, and Matt are dead. My buddy texted me this morning. You don't ever have to worry about them hurting you ever again."
"Holy fuck..." Jon mumbled in shock.
"I know. My buddy said he made it look like suicide so nobody will suspect a thing."
"I love you..." Jon said, attempting to kiss Eddie. But as soon as he was ready to initiate the kiss, a flashback of the rape started. He quickly pulled away from Eddie and drew his knees up to his chest.
Eddie frowned. He rubbed Jon's back gently. "It's okay, babe. You're not ready to be intimate yet. Don't rush it just to make me happy."
Jon nodded, resting his head on his knees. All the stress from the past week was making his HG act up. He groaned softly. "I don't feel well." He said to Eddie.
"Nauseous or are you having contractions again?" Eddie asked with concern.
"Nauseous..."
"Need me to help you to the bathroom?" Eddie asked.
"No, I'm just gonna lay back down, to see if that helps any." Jon laid back down, feeling Eddie rubbing his back. Oddly enough, it comforted him. Knowing Kenny was dead helped Jon begin his healing process. It wasn't long before Jon had fallen asleep.
Hours later, Jon woke up, hungry as hell. He was craving pizza. He looked over, noticing his lover still sleeping beside him. He shook the older man awake. "Eddie, wake up." Jon said.
"Hmm?" Eddie mumbled sleepily, rubbing his eyes.
"I'm hungry. I want pizza.." He said.
"You're not nauseous anymore?" Eddie asked, yawning as he sat up.
"Oddly, no. But that can change in a matter of seconds." He looked at the clock before continuing. "It's only 8pm, do you think Pizza Hut is still delivering?"
"I'm sure they are. Are you craving a specific kind of pizza?"
"Not really. I do want pickles on it though."
"Pickles on pizza? Oh my God, Jon.." Eddie laughed.
"It's what I'm craving." Jon shrugged.
Eddie smiled, getting his phone out and dialing a number. He talked for a few minutes before hanging up. "They said it'll be about 45 minutes. I also ordered some breadsticks and hot wings."
"Oh my God you're the best."
"I know." Eddie grinned. "I'm gonna go watch for the delivery man. You coming with or staying in here?"
"Probably gonna stay in here. It's closer to the bathroom. Man the twins sure are pushing on my bladder tonight." He sighed, getting up and walking to the bathroom to relieve himself.
Eddie headed to the living room. Out of nowhere, he got the craziest idea. But he would need help in executing his plan. He dialed Darby's number. Darby was now living in Jon's old apartment, with Jon's dogs, Blue and Benny. Unfortunately, when Jon moved in with Eddie, Eddie's landlord would not allow pets in the apartment.
"Hello?" Darby answered.
"Hey man...It's Eddie...I just got the craziest idea. After all we have been through, I think it's time I propose to Jon. But I'm not sure how to go about it. I want it to be very special. Can you help me come up with a plan?"
"Of course, my dude. But do you think it might be too soon after what happened last week?" Darby asked, concerned.
"I think proposing to him will help him heal from this. He already knows that all three men are dead so they will never hurt him ever again."
"Yeah, you're probably right. What about the classic fancy date, propose at a fancy restaurant idea?" Darby suggested.
"I honestly was looking for something more special but then again Jon's not into huge gestures. A fancy date may be just what he'll like." Eddie said. "So that's settled. You know what's next?"
"Setting up reservations for the date?" Darby questioned.
"Nope. You have to help me pick out a ring." He then heard a knock at the door. "I gotta go. Jon was craving pizza so I ordered Pizza Hut and they are here with our food. Talk to you later, man. Thanks again."
"No problem, dude. Enjoy your pizza. Goodnight."
Eddie hung up the phone and answered the door, he grabbed the food from the delivery man and paid him. "Keep the change." He said before closing the door and heading upstairs with the food.
Jon could smell the pizza coming up the steps and he got out of bed. He excitedly grabbed the food from Eddie when the older man walked into the bedroom. He instantly took a bite of the pizza and moaned at the taste. "Mmm. Thank you babe." He then noticed there was only one pizza. "Didn't you order one for yourself without pickles?"
"Nope. Figured I would give it a try and if I don't like it there's still breadsticks and wings." Eddie also took a bite of pizza, his eyes going wide. "Holy shit this is actually pretty good."
Jon nodded, grabbing a breadstick and biting into it. He felt a couple kicks and giggled. "The babies like it too. They're kicking up a storm."
Eddie smiled and continued eating his food. When they were done, Eddie put the leftovers in the fridge then headed back upstairs to the bedroom. He saw Jon yawn and chuckled. "Sleepy now?"
"Yeah..." He smiled softly. "So I'm almost halfway done with this pregnancy, we need to figure out some names for the babies."
"You're right. I have an idea for our son. What if we name him after us?"
"How so?" Jon asked curiously.
"Like Jonathan Edward or Edward Jonathan. Whichever you think sounds better." Eddie explained.
"I like Jonathan Edward better. Okay so how about our daughter?"
"I've always admired Brooklyn Jade for a girls name." Eddie suggested.
"I love it. Then it's settled. Jonathan Edward and Brooklyn Jade."
"It's settled." Eddie smiled, holding Jon close. He stroked Jon's hair until he heard the younger man snoring softly. He cuddled up closer to his boyfriend, falling asleep with a smile on his face.
…
Several weeks later, everything was ready. Eddie had rings, reservations set up at the fanciest restaurant in town, and it was the day of their date. It was about 5 in the afternoon and they were getting ready. "Make sure you wear your best suit, we are going to the fanciest restaurant in town." Eddie said.
Jon nodded but was reluctant. He was huge now, being about 7 months pregnant with twins, nothing really fit anymore. He knew Eddie had been planning this date for ages, but he couldn't help to feel self conscious as he tried to get his suit on. Struggling to button the shirt, he felt tears begin to stream down his face.
Eddie heard sniffles coming from their closet and frowned. He walked in to see Jon struggling to button up his shirt. "Here, let me help you." He managed to get the shirt buttoned and helped Jon get his pants on and suit jacket. "I'm so fat.." Jon began to sob.
"Shush. No you're not. You are carrying two precious lives inside you. You're not fat, you're beautiful." Eddie countered.
"You really think so?" Jon sniffled, wiping his eyes.
"Of course I do. Now let's get going, or we're gonna be late."
Several minutes later, they arrived at the restaurant. Halfway through their meal, Jon excused himself to go use the restroom. When he came back, his lover was on one knee. "Eddie..." He mumbled.
"Jon, I have loved you from the moment I set my eyes on you. We've been through hell and back and we are about to have two beautiful children enter into our lives. I'm certain that I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Jonathan Moxley, will you please marry me?" Eddie asked, presenting a ring to Jon.
Jon was shocked at the proposal, but with tears in his eyes, he nodded and said, "Yes! I'll marry you!"
Eddie stood up and hugged his now fiance tightly, kissing him deeply as the other patrons in the restaurant clapped their hands. Once the excitement died down, they finished their meals and paid their bill. They headed out to the truck, where Jon looked at Eddie. "Babe...I know I'm supposed to be on bed rest, but I think I'm ready to be intimate. I want to celebrate our engagement. In typical Moxley fashion." He said.
Eddie nodded. "We will when we get home." He was a bit reluctant, afraid he would make Jon go into labor.
About halfway home, Jon had Eddie pull over so he could go pee. While Jon was hidden behind a bush relieving himself, Eddie quickly dialed the OB's number.
"Hello?"
"Hey...It's Eddie Kingston."
"Hey, Eddie, everything okay? Is Jon having contractions again?"
"No, but I did call about that. Um...I don't know how to put this but is it possible to lift the bed rest restrictions? We uh...just got engaged, and Jon wants to celebrate in typical Jon fashion. He hasn't had anymore contractions since that day we went to the ER. Would it be okay to do it?"
"I don't see why not, if he hasn't had anymore contractions, he should be fine. But considering how far along he is, and with twins, you probably shouldn't make this a common activity. One and done. Then he is to go back on bed rest." The doctor ordered.
"Thank you, doctor." Eddie said, hanging up the phone just as Jon got back in the truck. "Good news, the doctor gave us the go ahead to 'celebrate' our engagement. But only once. Then you're on bed rest again."
"Oh thank God.." Jon said. "I'm horny as fuck, you have no idea."
"Oh really?" Eddie smirked. "Glad to see you're back to normal."
Jon chuckled, feeling his length harden in anticipation.
Eddie, however, was very nervous. He didn't know how Jon was gonna react when he started touching him. They hadn't done anything intimate since before the kidnapping. He was silent the entire drive home, trying to psych himself up.
When they arrived home, Jon rushed up to the bedroom, relieving himself before stripping out of his clothes. Eddie slowly followed, feeling better when he noticed that Jon had an erection. He groaned, feeling his own length harden. He stripped naked, getting in bed with his fiance. He slowly began to kiss Jon, hearing the younger man moan into the kiss made his dick throb. He wanted so badly to be inside Jon already but he wanted to take it slow to make it easier for Jon. He felt Jon's hands rub his shoulders as they kissed. "I'm ready.." Jon mumbled in Eddie's ear.
"I need to hear you say it." Eddie ordered.
"Eddie. Please...fuck me..." Jon begged.
Keeping the slow pace, Eddie did as told. He slowly entered his lover, feeling himself relax when he heard Jon moan. He slowly began to thrust, Jon's moans getting louder. He looked down to see Jon stroking himself in time with Eddie's thrusts. Eddie kept up the slow pace for several minutes before he heard Jon say, "Please, Eddie. Make me cum. I need to cum.."
Eddie nodded, speeding up his thrusts. It wasn't long before Jon cried out, cumming hard. "Oh God.." He moaned as he came. Seeing his lover cum sent Eddie over the edge, and he began to cum hard inside the younger man. "Fuck..." He panted as he finished cumming, pulling out of Jon and collapsing next to him. He held Jon close, kissing him gently. "I love you, baby boy. I can't wait to marry you."
Jon smiled sleepily, yawning.
"Did I wear ya out?" Eddie asked with a smile.
"I love you too, and yes. You did." Jon smiled, snuggling close in to Eddie, pressing his face into Eddie's chest. "My big ole teddy bear." Jon mused, feeling his eyelids growing heavy. He yawned again.
Eddie smiled softly. "Go to sleep, babe. I'm pretty wore out myself."
Jon nodded, closing his eyes. It wasn't long before both men were fast asleep, their soft snores filling the room.
