Summary
“Well that’s certainly a pretty sight,” Stede murmurs against Ed’s shoulder blade, lips slowly trailing along the line of marks Ed knew that Mary had put there earlier. His hold around Ed’s waist tightens, pulling him back with a swift tug, knowing full and well that the move would only bring Ed closer to his stiffened cock. “When’d she give you these?” He doesn’t even have to ask who put them there – between her and her husband, Mary’s the only one who leaves hickies.

Summary
“How long have you been awake, love?” he murmurs into the crown of Ed's hair, pressing a kiss to the top of his curls. He has a hunch, of course, based on the current state of their living room and the dark circles under Edward's eyes, but Stede's not particularly interested in proving hunches right now.
Ed isn’t quick to answer, tracing a slow pattern with a featherlight touch against the back of Stede's hand as he hesitates. Stede's patient, in absolutely no rush while Ed finds his words. He presses another kiss to Ed's temple, tightening his hold on him. Stede's got him – no matter what, Stede's got him.
After a moment, Ed clears his throat, shifting uncomfortably against Stede. “I, uh, never actually went to bed,” he admits, voice low and just edged with an embarrassment that Stede wants to whisk away from him and chuck straight into the sea.
Stede can feel how taut Ed's muscles are, wrapped around him like this. Ed keeps his gaze trained down on the blanket in front of him, refusing to look back, to come anywhere close to meeting Stede's longing gaze right now, and Stede's heart just about shatters.

Summary
"Do you see how fucking pretty you look like this?"
Opening his eyes again, he sees Ed looking at him now like Stede is something to be devoured. He’s seen the way that Ed looks at him before, obviously he knows what Ed looks like when they fuck. But he’s never seen the way that he looks when Ed fucks him, never seen the way his freckles dot the pink flush of his skin like constellations at dusk; never noticed the way his tits bounce each time their hips meet; never realized how absolutely whorish he looks bent over like this, taking Ed’s cock with his skirt hitched against the counter like a slut. It’s shattering, actually, to know that this is what Ed sees every time. It makes his cunt pulse, and he feels Ed’s cock twitch in return.

Summary
Stede doesn’t get out much. He’s usually able to hide behind the excuse of working from home when someone pries about it. His therapist wishes he was more honest with himself about why he actually doesn’t leave his house too often, but it’s all a work in progress, really. And it really isn't anybody’s business that visiting the grocery store makes him want to vomit, or that it took him 45 minutes to work up the courage to walk a block down to the drugstore last week. He has his bubble, filled with his wonderful children and his wonderful husband and his best friend (who just so happens to be his ex-wife). He’s happy, he's content, he doesn’t need much else, thank you very much. But when he realizes that he’s pregnant again, for the first time in years, Stede decides that he has to be brave.

Summary
Ed carefully unzips her sleep suit in turn, exposing her little chest and belly before bringing her against his own bare chest, their skin meeting each other in a warm embrace. Stede's instinct is to admonish himself for not thinking of that on his own, but just as quickly as the thought enters his head, he hears Ed’s own soothing voice replace it – “you’re doing a great job,” whispered across the table at breakfast, kissed against his skin at night, texted from across the house during naptime. A constant reassurance from Edward that Stede isn’t totally fucking this up all of the time. Stede decides to believe him this time.

Summary
Kids were not a part of Ed’s plans. He’d had an asshole dad, and he figured the easiest way to avoid being an asshole dad was to not be a dad. But then Stede Bonnet waltzed into his life, took root so quickly it made Ed’s head spin, and Stede was a package deal.
So Edward bought it hook, line, and sinker.

Ilya looks over from the sofa as Jackie heads into the living room, perking up in interest. “You are calling Pike? Was good play today. You remembered how to score! Well done.”
Hayden groans. "Rozanov? Dude, what are you doing in my fucking house?
"It is girls' night," Ilya informs him primly. "I am one of girls."
Or: Game day at the Pike house.
