Where I Belong (Reddie)

Chapter Six

Eddie soon guided Rachel out the bathroom and walked her to her bedroom. He gently put her on the bed and tucked her in, rach laid down in the bed and looked at Eddie

"Please don't leave me... I'm scared"

The male who was sat on the edge of the bed looked back at her "hey, I'm not going anywhere" he spoke stroking her soft hair

"Thank you , can you lie with me?"

"Course I can" he said getting comfortable next to Rachel, Rachel lifted  her head and gently put it on Eddie's chest and closed her eyes falling asleep on to him

Frances sighed hearing eddies phone go to voicemail so she decided to go upstairs to see if Rachel was asleep, so the older brunette made her way up the stairs and walked down the hallway she went into the bathroom and saw  Rachel's dirty clothes and picked them up before looking over at the sink seeing the pregnancy test.

Frances picked it up to take a closer look , she sighed seeing the result "oh Rachel.." she spoke to herself before she put the test into her pocket and let the bathroom after tidying it up a little.

The brunette walked down the hallway and to her bedroom when she saw Rachel's bedroom slightly open, she debated for a few moments to go check on her, so she slowly went over to the door and opened it enough to pop her head in so that she could see if Rachel was there or not

Frances saw Eddie sound asleep then saw Rachel asleep on his chest , she didn't stay in the room for too long as she didn't want to wake them both.

Frances soon went into her room and sat on the bed staring at Rachel's pregnancy test again while she gave out a sigh as she knew that there was no way Eddie could be the biological father to it as Rachel had not been seen for months until now.

After when Frances was finished looking at the test she got her phone and started to text Colin

"Hey, are you still coming over tonight?If you are then we need to have a family meeting..." she soon sent and waited for a reply

Colin was sat in his office typing up a few reporters on to his computer, he had his phone next to him on the desk when he heard it vibrate, he picked it up with a smile as he saw Frances name pop up so he read the message straight away

"Hey you, course I'll still come over if you really want me to.. what's the meeting about babe?" He sent back

"It's about Rachel... I can't give too much away It's not really my place to say anything.."

"Ah okay, I get. What time do you want me over?" He replied

"Whenever your finished with work.."

"Should be in about two - Three  hours if your lucky"

"I'll see you when I see you then?"

"Yeah"

Both Frances and Colin sighed as they put their phones down , Colin continued to type up the reports he had to do before the end of his shift, Frances stayed sat on her bed still thinking of what to do about Rachel.

It was now 8:30pm Both Rachel and Eddie had woken from there five hour nap, Rachel needed it the most as she hardly had any sleep in the past few months when she was living with Staurt.

Colin had turned up straight from his shift so he was still in his police uniform, he was sat on the sofa with a coffee watching the TV with Frances.

Rach  soon woke and gave out a tiny yawn before she looked up at Eddie seeing him just waking up so she gave him a soft smile as she felt safe in his embrace.

Edide looked down and smiled softly seeing Rachel look up at him without moving her head off his chest, he started to stroke her hair softly while he teased her a little "Hey sleepy head"

"Hey you" The brunette replied with a smile due to the feeling of her hair being stroked softly

"Hey" Eddie teased again.

Rachel smiled again "hey"

"How are you feeling now?" He asked

The brunette sighed "like I'm a disappointment..."

"Hey your not a disappointment " he  reassured her by stroking her arm gently

"Oh I am Ed... mums gonna go mental when I tell her that I'm pregnant and that Stuart is  the father..."

"I'm sure she won't. She wants to support you, just like I want to.."

Rach sighed again, "maybe it's time to face the music?"

Eddie continued to stroke her arm softly "only if your ready to, I'm not rushing you"

"I think I am"

As Frances was cuddled into Colin she looked him in the eyes "Do you think I should go and check on her?"

Colin started to stroke Frances back softly "No leave her.. She'll come out when she's ready"

"Suppose your right.."

"Just give her time... I know I would be like this if my dad suddenly turned up at door step..."

"Okay okay. I'll let her come out in her own time..." frnces spoke as she cuddled back into Colin

Rachel had decided it was time to get up, she climbed over eddie as she was laid by the way and Eddie was on the outside of the bed, she soon stretch and then walked over to the long mirror that she had in her room, she stood in front of it just staring at it for a few moments before she lifted her t-shirt up and seen her small baby bump that was starting to form, as Rachel was looking at the small baby bump she gave a sigh, Eddie got up and came over standing behind her where he gently put his hands on her shoulders

Rachel felt him put his hands on her shoulders she gave a little smile before speaking

"Everything's changed.... I know you said that you don't mind not being the biological father but it still won't feel right... it's gonna come between us isn't it?"
