Thirty-four chapters and counting...
The grief that follows the miscarriage ties them together in a way years of dating might not have.
Suddenly it's not Eddie with Sally. It's Eddie and Sally, as a pair. They are united in their grief, in knowing that they alone feel the same emotions, same pain.
If this hadn't happened, they might have broken up or divorced each other years later, but instead this has turned their bonds to finest steel, forged and hammered.
With the baby's approach gone, they extend the date of the date of the wedding in order to plan it better
Jiraiya is going to be Eddie's best man. Sakumo had been upset about that, but Jiraiya was like a brother to Eddie, and while Sakumo was a nice guy and all that, brothers came first. Sally was still trying to decide between Tsunade and her sister, but Eddie had a feeling the medic would win.
In the end, they cope with their grief by focusing on planning the wedding, even though sometimes Eddie can't believe he's having long discussions about flowers and place-settings.
