Chapter Twenty-Five

Eddie leads the group sneakily to some old couple's trailer. You all sneak behind it as Eddie tries to find an unlocked window to climb into. He finally finds one, before cracking it open and climbing inside. You all followed his actions moments later. You all landed on a small sofa in the back of the trailer. Eddie locks the door, then sits at the driver's seat and begins pulling out some tools and the wires from the wheel compartment or whatever it was. "Where'd you learn how to do this?" Steve questions, coming up behind him, and you come up behind Steve. "Well, while the other dads were teaching their kids how to fish or play ball, my old man, was teaching me how to hot-wire. Now, I swore to myself I wouldn't wind up like he did, but now I'm wanted for murder, and soon, grand theft auto so, guess I'm really livin' up to that Munson name."

"Uh, Eddie? I'm not sure I love the idea of you driving.." Robin lilted from the back. "Oh, I'm just starting this sucker. Hargrove's got her, don't you, big girl?" he leans in towards where you and Steve stood. "Wha- what about me? I can drive!" Steve argues. "Um, no! You always drive, it's my turn to have some fun, sweetheart" you tease, patting his shoulder and pulling him behind you, before Eddie finally starts up the engine and quickly moves out of place for you to sit there. "Oh hell yeah!" you shout before hitting the gas pedal, discarding the people banging against the windows attempting to stop you.

"Better hand on to something!" you shout, leaning over the back of your seat. "Drive, Y/N drive!" Dustin shouts from the back as Steve sits in the passenger seat beside you. "Shit they look pissed!" he swore, looking back at the couple behind you as you pressed the gas pedal as hard as you could, "Well I mean it's not every day you lose your house and car in one fell swoop" Robin parodied.

"Hold on, hold on!" you shout, preparing to drive into some trash cans. Everyone stumbled a bit before sitting straight and composing themselves again. "Jesus Christ, Y/N! Remind me why Eddie let you drive again??" Steve vacillated. "Whoo, alright.." you sigh in relief before turning out of the trailer park for good.

After a while of mainly silence, Steve finally spoke. "How's it handle?" he interrogated. You glanced over for a second, then deciding to keep your eyes on the road, as any responsible person would do. "Not uh, not half bad, considering this is a.. house" you nod your head smiling. You've never driven anything besides your brother's old car, which broke down when you rashed into it at Starcourt, so it was different than usual. "It's silly but uh.. I've actually always had this dream that I'd have this really.. really big family.. I'm talking like a full brood of Harringtons like 5,6 kids" your eyes widened at his statement.

"Six??" you question. "Yeah! Six lil' nuggets, three girls, three boys, and.. and every summer, I figured all us Harringtons could pack into something like this and just.. just see the country, you know? The Rockies, Grand Canyon, maybe Yellowstone, end up in some beachside town in California, spend a week parked in the sand, learn how to surf or something.." you couldn't help but smile at him, but you didn't want to risk taking your eyes off the road and crashing into something, so you didn't look at him. After all, you were driving alongside the woods, so anything could just jump out and cause you to crash. "Well, maybe we could do that together someday" you chuckle. "Yeah.. I'd really like that with you, you'd be an amazing mother."

"Well uh.. except for the six kids part.. I think two is enough" you giggle. "Yeah well, if only I had some practice" he chuckles, looking back at the younger teens in the back.

"Alrighty kiddos, we're here!" you call out, letting some of the kids along with Nancy, Steve and Robin out with you, while Eddie, Dustin and Lucas stayed back for obvious reasons, although Dustin tried to step out. "Woah woah, where do you think you're going?" you stop him, placing a hand on his chest to hold him back. "I'm going in!" he insisted. "Nuh-uh, you're staying right here. Don't you know you're kind of wanted right now?" you warn. He sighs, making his way back to where Eddie sat. "Yes mom" he scoffed. "Mom?" your eyebrows knit together in confusion. The others had already made it into the store now, but they waited for you before beginning to wander. "Well, Steve's like the group dad, so that makes you our mom, you know since-" you stopped him before he could speak any more. "Alright, alright whatever" you stepped out of the trailer, and you couldn't help but smile at the thought of the kids seeing you as the group mom.
