About
**AU where Eddie survived S4** Years after Hawkins was saved, Eddie and his band got the deal of a lifetime. A tour across the United States, hitting all 50 with the possibility of more if the tour went well. You had known Eddie for years, you grew up together. You talked to him here and there but mostly you just quietly observed from afar. Wishing. Then one day you got a chance to go to one of his shows. You went. When he seen you in the crowd he invited you to hang out with him after the show. So you went. Next thing you know you both had to much to drink and started peeling eachothers clothes off in your hotel room. Morning rolled around and he was gone. On the nightstand there was a note - 'Glad you came. -E'. Thats it. Nothing else. A month and a half goes by and you start getting sick all the time and realize you havent had your period. So you take a test. Then another one. And another. Three tests. All the same result. Pregnant. Your terrified out of your mind. But you try and reach out to him. You want to give him the chance to choose what he wants to do. So you try to call him, email him, reach out on socials, you even try talking to his uncle Wayne and his friends Dustin, Steve, Mike, Lucas, and Max. You never told them why you needed to talk to him just that it was important. Nothing. Not a single thing back. So you decided you were going to raise the baby by yourself. Not telling anyone who the father is. Not because your mad, though you are a bit. But because you knew how much he'd dreamed of making it big. You wanted that for him. You didnt want him to feel resentment towards you or the baby if his dream was ripped from him. You never thought hed come back anyways. So you let it go and stopped trying to contact him. You did everything yourself with the only two friends you had, one of which being Robin Buckley. All your doctors appointments. Alone. Setting up the nursery. Alone. Giving birth. Alone. Sick baby. Alone. Teething. Alone. Everything you did was always alone. Now your baby is 4 years old. Eddie is back. For a vacation. Now your seeing him for the first time since you slept together. You are at the park with your toddler when you lock eyes with Eddie, who is hanging out with Dustin Henderson.
