Richie was sick for days. It felt awful. Worse than the bad seafood he shouldn't have eaten on tour way back when. He was so sick, he lost five pounds within a month.
Eddie was beyond worried. He used almost every ounce of knowledge he earned from college to try and help. But nothing seemed to work.
"Eds..." He woke up to Richie whining. The male lazily reaches over to his husband's side of the bed, only to feel empty sheets.
Eddie sits up in bed, rubbing his face. That's when he heard it. The broken sobs coming from the master bathroom. "Richie?" Eddie asks lazily.
The male gets out of bed, stumbling to their bathroom. His eyes widened when he finally saw it. "Oh my god!" Eddie ran to Richie, frowning as his eyes watered.
Richie kneeled in front of the toilet, panting after he had thrown up. The back of his pajama pants were soaked with blood. The male cried. "'M-M so sorry..."
"No! No, Rich... this isn't your fault. I promise," Eddie's eyes watered. Richie had been so excited... .
"Im sorry for your loss.." Richie hiccups, curled up on the hospital bed. He lost the baby... .
Eddie sat next to him, rubbing his back as he held his husband close. He could feel his heart break. It was absolute agony.
Richie was soon discharged, but he didn't move. Eddie was the one to finally move. "Rich, hun... c'mon," He pulled Richie up.
He frowned as he watched his husband hunch over. The doctor said he'd be really uncomfortable. It was painful, according to what he learned. His eyes watered again.
"I know, sweetheart.." He murmurs. "Let's go home, and we won't go anywhere else.." It broke his heart.
When they got home, Eddie had Richie rinse off in the shower. His poor baby... . He helped Richie into bed, rubbing his stomach as he sobbed. The male hated this... .
No one ever talked about this possibility, the absolute heartbreak that came with this. His poor baby.
Richie didn't leave their bed the rest of the day. Eddie didn't either. He had texted Bev, and had her bring food. Richie wouldn't let him go.
"It'll be okay..." Eddie murmurs, his lips pressed against Richie's temple. "I promise.."
