    Summary

    “We’re having a baby?” Ed asks him, incredulous. “Like, a real fucking baby? Our baby?”

    The way Stede is looking at him is the same way Ed is feeling: like all of this is too good to be true. It’s squeezing him from the inside out, and he loves it.

    “Yes, we are,” Stede tells him.

    “And you’re okay?” Ed asks, insistent.

    There’s a smile coming through Ed’s tears when he tells him, “Yes, I am. Besides the— the usual. It’s no worse than with Alma or Louis.”
