Characters: Eddie and Taylor
Setting: Eddie and Taylor's house
Content: NSFW
Summary: FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT

It had been a while since they had taken Benji into their house and it was only getting worse. Eddie completely understood why Benji was falling apart but that kid was getting away with wrecking their house and being drunk all the time, she wasn't even trying to get better and no one was expecting anything else from her; it was like everyone was just letting Benji fall apart. Where was the responsibility in that?

Taylor and Eddie wanted to start a family, in fact, they were well on their way. Eddie was two months pregnant now and getting ready for the next few crazy months before Taylor wouldn't let her do anything. It was exhausting keeping up with the cleaning as it was but things were getting dangerous.

Eddie walked through the kitchen to get to hers and Taylor's bedroom one evening after work. On the way she had to step over three broken bottles and almost slipped in a puddle of something; she didn't even want to know what it was. "Damn it!" she screeched as she almost went flying to the ground. "Taylor," she said standing in the doorway of their bedroom. "We gotta talk baby," she said trying not to loose her temper.

Things had gotten a bit smoother with Benji since the beginning, but not by much. In fact, Taylor wasn't sure if her sister had begun to accept what had happened or if she had just gotten used to dealing with Benji's drunken behavior. She had begun to shift her focus to other places in her life, namely starting a real family with Eddie. Taylor was over the moon about it, but with a baby on the way, that also meant more bills. Her work had been another thing that had required more attention lately, and she had been pulling longer and longer hours at the office.

Tonight had been a bit different, she had been able to get home earlier than usual but at a cost. She was now spread out across the bed in sweats and a tank top, her work papers strewn all over. She had just finished organizing the last of her papers when she heard Eddie screech from the kitchen. She started so badly that half of them went scattering across the room. She was about to yell to the other woman to see if she was okay, when her pregnant girlfriend suddenly appeared in the doorway. She could tell that Eddie was pissed, and she gave her a sheepish grin as she put her papers down.

"What's on your mind, beautiful?" Taylor purred in full suck up mode.

Eddie's eyes narrowed a bit, involuntarily. "Tay, things have got to change around here," she said more seriously. "This house is a damn train wreck and Ben... we need to talk to her about slowing down on the drinking," she tried to put it delicately. "It's about time she start pulling herself together so we don't have to clean up after her all the damn time," she honestly didn't think she was being unreasonable. It was high time Benji start making things better for herself.

"I know things have been hard but we can't let her get away with this behavior because she's sad. She needs to start taking some responsibility, especially since she's gonna be an aunt and all..."

Taylor's smile became strained as Eddie's eyes narrowed. So her theory on just getting used to Benji's behavior must have been true.

"Sweety," she cooed, trying not to let the nervousness creep into her voice. "I think you're over reacting a tiny bit." Taylor approached Eddie, intent on hugging her and steering this whole conversation away from where it was going. "I think Benji is close to getting things together, really, I do. I know she's struggling right now, but we gotta let her figure these things out on her own."

Eddie backed away. "I aint over reacting Taylor!" she squeaked. "We're lettin' her fall apart and not expecting anything else from her! We need to get her some real help because she's not getting better and she's not getting any closer," Eddie was trying to keep her voice calm but it was hard to when her emotions were all out of whack. "We aint givin' her what she needs Tay."
