“This is the dumbest thing I’ve ever read. And I’ve read most of Bill’s books so that’s saying something.”

“Ha! Burn!” Richie snorted, pausing his swaying with baby Georgie to peek at Eddie over his tiny shoulder. “What book?”

“‘The Going to Bed Book’,” he told him, making an adorable little scrunchy face. “These animals are on like, a boat? For some reason? Maybe it’s a Noah’s Ark thing or something? But there’s only one of each? I don’t fucking know. That would be weird for Stan and Patty to have, so probably not. But they all take a bath together, which is fucking weird enough, and then! Then! Riiight before they go to bed? They exercise!? Like, they just got clean and put on pajamas and they’re jumping rope and shit! And then they’re expected to fall asleep? That’s the dumbest shit I’ve ever heard! It’s scientifically proven that exercise actually wakes you up!”

Richie tried, heroically, to hold in his laughter; they were meant to be calm and relaxed, to help Georgie fall asleep, but Eddie’s spirited rant was just about the opposite, and he didn’t want to add to it by being too loud himself.

“Oh my god, Eds,” he snorted, knowing his shoulders were shaking with his muted laughter, as Georgie wiggled a little in his arms. “You are fucking adorable, man.”

Eddie blinked up at him, eyes wide in surprise.

It was out of his mouth before he could stop it.

“Shit.”
