Fate’s fault
Summery: you’d always been confused about your feeling for both Eddie and Buck, but then Eddie had started dating Ana and Buck started flirting with you so you thought ‘that’s destiny choosing for me’. But you should have known destiny was a bitch
Pairing: Reader x Evan Buck Buckley x Eddie Diaz
Getting your job at the 118 had been a dream coming true; your last firehouse had been a nightmare: you had been the only woman firefighter, the first they had ever had and, let’s be honest, they hadn’t been nice. The teasing had been never ending, the constant flirting, even thought you hadn’t been interested and you had made that clear, was annoying.
So when you heard about an opening at the 118 you had seized the opportunity. You had soon felt like you were home: your colleagues were nice, they respected you and even though the rookie had flirted with you the first time you had met, he had stopped as soon as you had told him you weren’t interested and now you were actually friend. So you were finally doing the job you loved in a stimulating working environment.
Trouble started when you met Eddie Diaz and Evan Buckley. You had only heard about the first shift team and you had heard talks about Eddie Diaz and Evan Buckley in particular: Jessica, your colleague, had described them as two hot badasses who were also really nice. You had rolled your eyes at her.
The day you had met them you had just decided to go to work early so you could do some work out.
You had just entered the gym when you saw them training and your first thought was that “fuck Jessica was right”. You had tried to pretend you didn’t see them and focus on your work out but they had also see you walk in and, being the nice person that they were, they had smiled at you and introduced themselves.
That day you had spent most of your time in the gym talking to them instead of working out and when their shift ended and they left, after you had promised to go out for a drink with their team, you had stood there looking at the door gym until Jessica had walked in. You hadn’t told her about your meeting with the two super hot firefighters of the first shift that day, because you knew she would have smirked and said “I told you so”.
That day you had gone home after your shift and you hadn’t been able to stop thinking about them and the troublesome thing was that, you were sure you had a crush on one of the two firefighters, but you weren’t sure which one. You didn’t think much of it that day though: you had talked with them barely an hour, you didn’t really know them. That night you had gone to sleep and you had dreamed about blue and brown eyes.
You had started spending your free time with Eddie and Buck since that day; you had taken the time to know them as friends but the time spent together hadn’t dispelled the doubts about who you actually liked between the two. It wouldn’t have been a problem if you were sure neither of them liked you but some time you could feel their eyes on you when you were out together and you weren’t looking, they were always touching you somewhere, your leg, your back, your arm, your cheek: if you were together they were never far from you. And most of all they flirted with you in particular when the other one wasn’t there.
So yeah you were confused because you had feeling, strong feelings, for both of them: you thought about Eddie’s smile as much as Buck’s laugh; you dreamed about Buck’s blue eyes and soft caressed as much as Eddie’s brown eyes and strong arms. So yeah you were screwed and the worst thing was that, during all this time they had become your best friends so you couldn’t tell them the truth because the mere idea of ruing your friendship scared you.
So you didn’t tell anything, hoping that your feelings for one of them would disappear with time or that fate would tell you which one of them was your destiny. You should have known you couldn’t trust fate, because FATE WAS A BITCH!
It had happened suddenly: one day you were sure that if you kissed Eddie he would have gladly kissed you back, and the next day he was dating Ana Flores, Christopher’s ex teacher.
You were crashed when you found out because even if you had been waiting for a sign to help you choose you still loved him and seeing him with Ana wasn’t easy.
But fate had made the choice for you and you were gonna act accordingly because it was true that you loved Eddie but you loved Buck too.
You started spending more time with Buck and less with Eddie, it wasn’t really your doing to be honest: Eddie had his dates with Ana and needed to spend time with Christopher so you saw him less and less and when you did Buck was there most of the time. Eddie didn’t talk about Ana with you and you didn’t ask, so it was Buck who told you Eddie had told Chris about his girlfriend and they were spending more time together just the three of them together. You thought you heard sadness in Buck’s voice while he told you about Eddie and Ana but you were too distracted by your own broken heart to really pay attention.
If your relationship with Eddie was drifting, your relationship with Buck was flourishing: you had always fun with Buck but now that it was mostly just the two of you you were awestruck by him.
Your first date had been a blast: you had had dinner together, there hadn’t been even a moment of awkward silence and the night had ended with Buck kissing you on your door step. You were happy with Buck, and even if thinking about Eddie sometime huffed a bit you were happy he was happy. Everything was ok... until it wasn’t.
You were on shift when you heard a sniper was targeting firefighter and that Eddie had been shot. You were taken by panic: Eddie was hurt and you didn’t even know how bad it was, you knew Buck had been with him but he wasn’t answering your phone. You couldn’t breath: the two people you love the most on your life were in danger, one of them was surely hurt and you didn’t have news about the other one and you couldn’t do anything.
Jessica found you sitting on the floor in the bathroom, silently crying and trying to breath.
“Hey come on, it’s going to be ok”- Jessica tried to reassure you
“Eddie has been shot, Buck isn’t answering his phone. What if... what if...”- you sobbed. No one was telling you anything and you couldn’t stop thinking about the worst outcome.
“Don’t think about it, Buck is gonna call you soon and Eddie is strong, he’s gonna make it. You gotta be thinking positive honey and you need to be strong for them”- Jessica hugged you trying to calm you.
You had never told her about Buck and Eddie but you had always thought she had her suspicions even though she had never told you anything.
You could finally breath: Eddie’s surgery had gone well, Buck was ok even if still scared and your panic had finally lessen.
You hadn’t talked to Buck yet but Bobby had finally answered your call telling your everything: about the shooter, about Eddie’s surgery, about Buck taking care of Christopher.
You had texted Buck but he still hadn’t answered you, so now that you were finally out of shift and calm you had decided to visit Eddie at the hospital because even if you knew he was ok, you needed to see for yourself.
You were almost at Eddie’s room when you saw Ana angrily leaving. You didn’t think much of it and kept walking: the door of Eddie’s hospital room was open and you could hear voices, in particular it sounded like Buck’s.
You looked inside the room: Eddie and Buck were kissing... on the lips. Actually Eddie and Buck were making out.
You stood there watching without a word: the guy you were in love with and you were kinda dating was kissing your best friend aka the other guy you were also in love with.
Apparently fate hated you and decided to screw you up: you had been in love with two guys between which you couldn’t choose and you had thought fate had chosen for you.
You were right: fate had decided you didn’t deserve either.
You left the hospital with a broken heart not even noticing Hen and Chimney saying hello to you.
Your heart hurt: you didn’t know if you were mad at Buck for kissing Eddie while dating you, you didn’t know if you were mad at Eddie for kissing your boyfriend…. Could you really call Buck your boyfriend? You didn’t care much for labels but evidently Buck did and didn’t think of you as his girlfriend.
In the end you knew you were just mad at yourself for even thinking for a second they actually cared about you how much you cared about them. You had never been happier to not be on the same shift as them: you really needed some time away from them.
They deserved to be happy together if they really wanted to but you couldn’t be their ‘cheerleader’, at least not for now: the betrayal would sting for a while and your heart needed time to heal.
You spent the next day alone: Buck had tried to call you but you didn’t feel like getting your heart crushed even more than it already was. Beside you were kinda feeling petty: Buck had ignored your calls and texts for hours, even after the madness had ended. So why couldn’t you ignore him?
Your day ended with you alone in your bed watching the screen of your phone lightning up with Buck’s calls. You silenced it and tried to sleep.
You knew going to work in the morning wasn’t going to be easy but now that you were in front of the firehouse you were feeling dreadful: why was Buck’s car in the parking lot? You had been sure he would have taken some day to help Eddie and Christopher.
You kept your head up and walked into the firehouse: you had nothing to be ashamed for, you had done nothing wrong beside this was your house too.
You went straight to your locker to leave your bag and of course Buck was there.
“Hey I tried to call you yesterday”- he said while looking at you with his puppy eyes.
“Yeah”- you weren’t sure what you were supposed to say: yeah sorry I didn’t answer but I’m very fucking mad at you for kissing our best friend while we are sort of an item? You didn’t think you were ready to have this conversation with him
“Just yeah… you don’t answer me for a whole day and yeah is all you have to say?”
“Listen Buck this is not the moment nor the place to talk about it, ok? My shift is just starting”- you said while closing your locker so you could head for the door.
“What the hell is wrong with you? Why are you acting like this? So what is this? payback? I don’t answer to you so you decide to do the same to me?! Very mature of you. Well I’m sorry if I was busy trying to save our friend and couldn’t answer your thousand texts”- he was yelling and you could feel the stare of your squad.
You were trying to stay calm because you didn’t want to give everyone a show but you were hurt and he was really pissing you off.
“Too busy saving Eddie or making out with him?”- you said calmly and you could see the shock on Buck’s face.
“What?I-“- he tried to say but you rolled your eyes at him
“Guys?”- Eddie’s voice came from behind you… of course he was here… fate had apparently decided that it really hated you
“So can I go to do my job or you wanna scream something else at me?”- you said to Buck while completely ignoring Eddie. You were mad at both of them because they both had betrayed you. -“good”- you added when Buck didn’t say anything else.
Eddie stopped you looking at you pleadingly but you talked before he could say anything
“Please let me through. I really don’t want to talk to either of you right now”- you knew you had watery eyes but you were hoping he wasn’t going to say anything about it. You took a breath of relief when he moved to let you through.
“I’m really glad you’re ok”- you told Eddie without looking at him before leaving the room.
After Eddie and Buck left, your shift went smoothly: you noticed people looking at you but they were kind enough not to ask anything.
The end of you shift arrived sooner than expected and now you were finally home, ready to end your day… you should have known better.
As soon as you parked you noticed two people waiting for you on your porch; you thought about turning your car and leaving but they had seen you and you knew you had to talk to them sooner or later.
You got out of the car, walked towards your house and once there opened your door without saying anything to them. You went in, still not talking, but leaving the door opened.
“Can we talk?”- Buck said
“Sure… about something in particular or do you want to talk about our day, because let me tell you my day didn’t start that good and I think it’s going to end even worst”- you told them
“Listen, I’m sorry ok”
“Whatever it’s fine”- you shrugged; you didn’t want them to see how much they hurt you
“It’s not fine”- Eddie said- “we didn’t mean to kiss Y/n, ok?”
“Yeah I’m pretty sure Buck fell on you and his lips coincidentally found yours”
“Can you please be serious? I’m sorry I kiss Eddie but I love him, ok? I’m in love with him”- well Buck really wanted to destroy your heart it seems
“Well I’m glad I was able to entertain you until you could have him Buck. I’m glad you finally have what you wanted.”- you weren’t screaming but your calmly attitude had gone out of the window.
“I don’t… I don’t have everything I wanted, neither does Eddie”
“Listen Buck, I really don’t care. I don’t care if you think I’m childish or a bad friend, but I can’t be happy for you two right now. You two hurt me ok? I love you guys with all my heart and you fucking crushed me”- you said without thinking
“You love us? Both of us?”- Eddie said
“What?! No”- why didn’t you think before talking
“You love us. That’s perfect”- Buck laughed
“Are you seriously laughing at me right now? Are you for real?”- what the hell…
“You don’t understand. We love you too”- Buck was giving you his best smile and you weren’t sure you understood what he just said
“What?”
“Buck and I love you, and we love each other too”- Eddie said once again
“Well isn’t that a mess”- you weren’t sure if you were supposed to be happy or cry… because seriously
“It doesn’t have to be… a mess I mean”- Eddie said
“What do you mean?”- you weren’t so sure the bullet hadn’t mess with Eddie’s brain because he wasn’t making any sense
“We love each other right? Why can’t it be a good thing, a wonderful thing. Why can’t we make each other happy, the three of us “
Yeah why can’t you… you thought and you smiled for the first time in days.
Ok… maybe fate hadn’t been a total bitch this time if it lead you to both of them
Oh my god this one shot has been the death of me; I have worked on this for so long and I don’t even like it but I know I’m not going to work on anything else if I don’t take it out of my draft. So yeah. I know it’s a mess but yeah. I didn’t even re-read it so… it is what it is

Sometimes I think it‘s literally impossible for Buck and Eddie not to end up together, but then I remember, that Steve and Danny on Hawaii 5-0 didn‘t end up together either, despite being almost more of a couple than Buddie. Like they literally said „I love you“ to each other every other episode, donated each other organs, lived together, co-parented and cuddled while watching TV. And that‘s why I‘m afraid to get my hopes up.
I love how, whenever something remotely gay (or Bi) happens in a totally different fandom, the Supernatural fandom is immediately summoned, like some kind of ancient entity, forever cursed to witness others receive what they never got to have.
There is something really interesting about observing the recent events in this fandom from the outside after not having been active in it for a while. For six seasons it was BuckAndEddie and no-one else, they were the OTP, the ride or die, but the second Tommy came into the picture, the fandom seems too have decided collectively decided that now it's BuckAndTommy, and suddenly it's Eddie Who? Never heard of him. And I must say, there is something incredibly fascinating, but also really sad about that. (And before anyone comes at me, I am thrilled for the developments, especially the Bi Rep, it's a huge deal and I'm so happy ABC came through!)
A headcanon that I will forever stand by is Buck most likely knows Spanish. Even if it's not much. And he doesn't ever speak it so no one else knows. And Buck never mentions it untill Eddie says smthing to him that bucks clearly not supposed to here or understand. And since he can, bucks just like what.
Also, since Eddie knows now, sometimes Buck with respond/say something in Spanish, and Eddie definitely doesn't find it the hottest thing in the world
This episode was absolute perfection! The writers are geniuses, the actors are geniuses, the directors, camera people, lighting, editors, everyone who worked on this episode are all geniuses and they deserve a MASSIVE round of applause.
There's so much to talk about but I wanna start by talking about the staging of the scenes where Buck is feeling jealous, because ugh it was so well done.
It's so simple but they just isolated him. And it's not that noticeable in some of the smaller scenes but I know many people noticed it with the teaser and stills at the airfield. It became obvious to me after Eddie gets injured, but here are some examples:
In all these scenes Buck is obviously in his feels (but when wasn't he tbf) and he's stood by himself, opposite to everyone else.
I found this really clever, because yeah, Buck does express that he feels like he's being left behind, but he's done that before so what's new? What's new is the very confusing feelings of romantic jealousy being thrown in the mix. But romantic jealousy over a MAN. This has never happened before.
Finding out you're queer can be so scary and isolating because your entire view of yourself is changing and if that's changing how are you supposed to be yourself around others who've only known you as heterosexual up until this point? Add in the fact that Buck is somewhat oblivious to why he is acting the way he is towards Eddie (his bestfriend who's done nothing wrong) for a time and he's going to feel even more isolated. It gets to a point where he's lashing out because he doesn't know why he's feeling like this. And even when he's hurt Eddie he doesn't even ATTEMPT to move towards him, he's just stuck where he is.
By isolating Buck at all these moments, both the initial problem that sparks the jealousy and Buck's subsequent internal struggle are portrayed to the audience in a such a simple way. Doing this allows the audience to truly understand what's happening. Queer audiences will recognise themselves in Buck's isolation and heterosexual audiences will gain a further understanding of how troubling a queer realisation can be, allowing them to empathise more.
Even when Tommy comes to the loft Buck still starts out isolated:
They move to either side of the kitchen and put two (2) tables in between themselves. Then as they work through their issues and Buck starts to realise just WHY he's been so standoffish about Eddie and Tommy hanging out they get closer. Then they start to connect over how cool they thought the other was and how annoying that was and end up toe to toe:
Buck's finally accepting what he's feeling and then BAM! They kiss and everyone screams with joy!
I don't know, l just loved all the little nuances they put into this episode that were subtle indicators of their endgame (bi Buck), and it made it feel like the creators really cared about this storyline and wanted to do it properly for the fans but more importantly for THEMSELVES, and not just randomly giving Buck a throwaway line of 'yeah I've slept with guys before' to establish his bisexuality purely for fan appeasement. So, to that I want to say a massive THANK YOU to everyone involved with creating this episode because I was sobbing for 10 minutes straight after it aired from being handed bisexual representation in such a loving but also unfussy way and seeing myself reflected in my favourite character. So on the off chance someone involved does see this, THANK YOU!
How can someone wrote something this good!!???
I Was Worried
This is my first time writing Evan Buckley from 911 but I am in love with that show and re-watching made me want to write. I'm open to take any requests for Buck or Eddie from the show. I hope you all like it.

Summary: (Y/n) tries to convince everyone at the station that she is fine, especially her boyfriend Buck. But when she takes a bad turn out on a call, he gets panicked.
Enjoy.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Whatever you're cooking smells good," Buck folded his arms and leaned forward onto the counter, pushing his hips out and arching his back a little to stretch out.
It didn't really matter to Buck what Bobby was cooking, it could have been anything from cats to crocodiles and he would eat it. Half a bowl of cereal wasn't enough to keep Buck going through a hectic morning shift and it was almost two o'clock now, way past dinner. He was starving and he was desperate to eat anything Bobby cooked.
"Pasta bolognaise," Bobby looked up from the large serving bowl he was pouring the pasta into, smiling when he could see Buck's eyes widening happily.
"And garlic bread." A smile worked its way onto (Y/n)'s lips when she walked past Buck and patted his shoulder as she went. She knew her boyfriend like the back of his hand and he was very food orientated.
She felt his hand graze her lower back as she passed him and grabbed the plates from the side to set the table. They didn't know how long they would all get to eat so dinner was usually fast. Set the table within a minute, everybody down and chug the food and drink to get as much as possible before a call sounded. Half the time they gobbled food and ended up with twenty minutes left to spare and they actually got to sit and digest their food and talk. But more often than not, food was partially eaten and left to go cold while they hurried out on a call.
(Y/n) could feel a headache burning behind her eyes and igniting through to the back of her head.
For over a week now (Y/n) had been feeling off, her headaches were becoming more common and persistent and she was feeling sluggish no matter how much sleep she managed to get or how she tried to eat enough and regular to keep her energy up.
Buck had said she was starting to come down with something and now (Y/n) was slowly beginning to believe him.
When the plates were all in place and utensils were laid out in the middle of the table, (Y/n) curled her hands around the back of one of the chairs and took a second to clear her foggy head. It felt like someone was slowly pumping her head full of air and any moment it was going to burst.
"Alright, are we ready?" Chimney clapped his hands and approached the table with a grin as Hen and Eddie followed behind.
(Y/n) tried to keep smiling and slowly shuffled away from the table and towards the cupboard near the sink where they kept the glasses. She couldn't stop her breaths from becoming shaky when her fingers curled around a glass and started to tremble.
"(Y/n), you coming?" Bobby glanced back over his shoulder when he approached the table with the food. She was awfully quiet all of a sudden when normally she would be first at the table to dish out the food and pour out the drinks.
When he didn't receive an answer, he glanced over at Buck who was halfway between the kitchen and the table before he stopped in his tracks and looked across at his girl. He looked back at Bobby with furrowed brows but waved his hand out at them to signal that they could go ahead and get sat down. He turned on his heels and headed over to where (Y/n) was stood in front of the kitchen counter with her back to him.
"Babe… you okay?" His voice was quiet but when he reached out to rest a hand on (Y/n)'s arm, he could feel her subtly shaking. "What's wrong?"
"Buck…" Her head was splitting like someone was banging a drum so harshly that her head was ripping open at the seams. The thudding of her heartbeat pulsed beneath her skin and pounded through her head so badly that she couldn't even see anymore. All she could make out were the black and white sparkles blinking in front of her eyes.
She could feel Buck's hands both coming up to rest on her shoulders and his lips merged against the back of her head but she couldn't hear what he was trying to whisper to her. Everything was turning to static in her ears.
Both Buck's arms moved to bind around (Y/n)'s waist when her knees gave out and she buckled. Her fingers slipped off the edge of the counter and her arms fell limp at her sides.
"Oh shit!" Stooping over, Buck braced himself a little better and slowly moved down until he was kneeling on the floor with (Y/n) hoisted up against his chest. Her head fell forward onto her chest as her legs curled up beneath her but she was still shaking. Buck kept one arm secured around her lower waist and moved his other arm round so he could carefully rest his palm against her temple and tilt her head up so she could lean her head back on his shoulder.
With a mouthful of garlic bread, Eddie pushed his chair back and jogged over to the pair while Hen busied herself grabbing a medical bag from near the stairs.
"Alright, here we go." Eddie knelt down in front of Buck and reached out for (Y/n)'s crumpled legs, carefully pulling them so they were straightened out and she was laid a bit more comfortable up against Buck. He pressed his fingers against (Y/n)'s wrist as Hen came over to them. "Pulse is a bit fast, not too bad. (Y/n), you with us?"
A muffled groan escaped (Y/n)'s lips as she tried hard to open her eyes but the lights suddenly felt like spotlights shining down on her and they were burning her eyes. She could feel Hen carefully taking her arm and sliding a blood pressure cuff up over her elbow and the tightening sensation sent a shiver down her spine and cleared her mind just a little.
"Open your eyes, babe," Buck coaxed while he smoothed his hand up and down (Y/n)'s arm. And something tingled to life in his chest and bubbled through his blood when he felt her hand shakily reach back and squeeze his thigh.
"Do you feel dizzy or sick?" Hen shone a light across (Y/n)'s pupils when she finally managed to open her eyes and something flickered on her face like a brief smile when she managed to follow Hen's finger from left to right.
"Dizzy… I- I'm good, probably just hungry." (Y/n) shuffled herself a little higher against Buck's chest so she was sitting up properly and she could feel the blood rushing back down to her feet and the storm in her head was starting to calm down, finally.
"You blacked out and you think you're good?" Buck rolled his lips together when Eddie gave him a look. He wasn't being rude but he knew (Y/n) better than any of them, he knew she was more likely to brush this under the rug than consider there might be something more serious than just a little dizzy spell. He for one didn't want to act like this was something small when he had said for the last week that she was coming down with a bug from how uneasy she felt and the constant headaches.
"Alright, if she thinks she's gonna be okay then let's all try and eat lunch, but you're benched today (Y/n). Any callouts, you hang back here to be safe I'm not taking any risks."
(Y/n) pressed her lips into a thin line to supress the groan burning at the back of her throat. She didn't want to hang back and wait around for them to come back off a call when she could be needed, she was here to do her job not sit back and worry. But she could see Bobby's reasoning, she would be a liability today if she went on a call and felt rough or this happened again. It was a safety measure.
She let Eddie take her hands and Buck loop his arms beneath hers so they could hoist her up between them. Her legs felt wobbly like setting jelly but she could shuffle them towards the table without worrying that she was about to collapse again.
It was just a blackout, she probably needed something to eat.
Loosening the suspenders on his shoulders, Eddie pulled them off his arms and shimmied out of his overalls and boots. He picked them up and shuffled tiredly through into the locker room, smiling softly when he glanced over and saw (Y/n) sat on a far bench near the glass wall.
"How you feeling?" He dumped his things into his locker but when he didn't hear a response, the smile slowly slipped from his face and he glanced back over at her.
He knew Buck had been worried for the rest of the shift when they went out and left (Y/n) behind at the station. She had kept herself busy, they all saw the tidy kitchen and the mopped floors implying she had been desperate to occupy herself when she got left behind for the afternoon. Buck had been the first one to run up to her when they got back and make sure she had been fine while they had been out. He worried; a lot.
"(Y/n)?"
Eddie walked over and gently perched himself beside her on the bench before he clasped his hands together in front of him and stooped over a little. His head tilted to the left to try and see her since she was sat at an angle but he sucked in a sharp breath when she turned to face him.
Her hands were full of used, bloodied tissues and there were streaks of blood smeared all across her mouth and chin and a lot of dried blood caked around her nose.
"What happened?" He was careful when he gingerly reached his hands out to tilt her head back. It looked like the blood had mostly stopped now but there was a hell of a lot on her face and the pile of tissues she had crumpled up in her fists.
"I had a headache, then the heavens poured out my nose for over five minutes. Has it stopped?" (Y/n) tightened the tissues in her hands until she could feel them starting to shred and pull apart between her fingers.
She had barely walked away from Bobby after reassuring him she felt much better, and her nose started to pour like a tap. Her head started to go fuzzy and heavy like it did earlier and no amount of tissue or pinching the bridge of her nose seemed to stop it. And Buck had gone for a shower so he didn't have to bother when they got home, the last thing (Y/n) wanted to do was run to him and ask for help. She would only panic him more than he had been earlier and she didn't want that.
"Yeah, I think it's stopped, are you sure you feel alright? You know this doesn't look so good." Eddie couldn't help but feel nervous, constant headaches, blacking out and a nosebleed on a large scale weren't signs of something minor.
"I feel better than this morning… Eddie, please don't tell Buck. You know he worries."
(Y/n) swiped the last crumpled tissue against her face before throwing them all in the bin. She would have to dart into the bathroom and wash her face clean of the blood if she didn't want Buck or any of the others realising what had happened or getting the wrong impression.
"I won't." A nosebleed could just be that and not mean anything else, it could be a one off and Eddie certainly wouldn't want to worry Buck unnecessarily.
He wouldn't say anything; yet.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A soft smile flooded (Y/n)'s face when the man whose name was John, grabbed her hand and held it tightly to her heart. He needed reassurance and (Y/n) would help him as much as she could and calm him down, it was all part of the job.
"Am I dying?"
"Of course you're not, we won't let that happen. We're going to free your leg and get you to the hospital, you'll be right as rain soon." It always felt easier to reassure someone with minor wounds like this.
It was when the victim had organs spilling out or a crushed chest or third degree burns that wouldn't heal that made (Y/n) panic about giving reassurance to them. When she knew there was no way she could guarantee they would survive, telling them everything would be okay felt like a lie and that wasn't always the best course.
But this man only had a leg crushed by some rubble and a few broken bones, nothing fatal that they needed to worry about. He was going to be fine and (Y/n) knew it.
"Alright, I'm going to let go of your hand so we can get ready to move you, okay?" (Y/n) gave his hand a gentle squeeze before she let go and moved so she was crouching behind him with her hands hooked under his armpits.
Eddie was going to lift the metal beam from the man's leg and Buck was in position to free his legs and help slide him onto the board so they could carry him out. He was the last person trapped in here, everyone else was out and taken care of and after this, the team could head back to the station and wait for the next call of the day.
(Y/n) wasn't sure if it was the dust and smoke filtering through the air that was making her head spin or if it was the headache she'd had since this morning but whatever it was made her feel off. Every part of her felt sluggish and slow and her head felt like it had cotton wool stuffed in it.
"Go!"
On command, (Y/n) pulled him back and lifted him up and she and Buck quickly laid him down on the read board and shuffled him up until his head was safely in the foam brace to keep his neck still and straight.
"Alright let's get out of here."
(Y/n)'s arms had never felt so limp and heavy than they did when she lifted her end of the board and followed Buck back through the small break in the wall they had created to get in. Her hands were tensing and twitching in the grooves of the board and it felt like her centre of gravity was shifting more to the left like the world was tilting at an angle. It made (Y/n) want to lean to the left to balance herself back out but when she tilted her head, she felt like she was about to topple over.
She had carried people out like this thousands of times, she'd hooked people over her shoulders and ran from burning cars before and gone quicker than this but today she couldn't seem to catch up. Buck was going too fast and her feet were heavy and weighted in her boots but she did her best to kick the rubble out the way and keep up. She could feel Eddie close behind and her eyes focused on looking up at Buck.
He was wearing his overalls and his coat and helmet so she couldn't see the way his biceps would twitch and strain or the way he would hunch up his shoulders to tense his muscles and go faster, but she could imagine the way his body would move beneath the jacket.
As soon as they were outside, all of them were coughing from the wave of fresh air that hut them like a truck.
Something burned in the back of (Y/n)'s head like she'd been struck with a knife and as soon as they were clear, they set the board down as close to the ambulance as they could manage. Two paramedics filed over and Buck busied himself reeling off the injuries John had sustained.
Forcing herself to smile, (Y/n) leaned down and rested a hand on his shoulder.
"T-they'll fix your leg and have you up and walking in no time, you will be okay." She couldn't wait to hear his response or wait for a thank you or even a smile, she had to move.
Her feet stumbled beneath her and she could feel herself beginning to shake down to her boots. She didn't feel good. She wasn't sure where she was heading, she just had to get away from the victim so she didn't worry him and be away from prying eyes.
When she couldn't walk any further, (Y/n) threw off her helmet and unzipped her jacket and launched it down on the floor. She was sweating, she was cold, she was burning up and shaking and feeling sick all at once.
"(Y/n), hey, what's up what's going on?"
Running her fingers over her face, (Y/n) turned her back to Eddie and shook her head. She didn't know what was going on or what the problem was but there was just something that didn't feel right. Her head was pounding like it was going to explode and since she'd blacked out, it had been progressively getting worse. All of her symptoms had been getting worse whether she wanted to admit it or not.
There was caution in Eddie's movements when he gingerly placed his hands on her shoulders and turned her round to face him but when he did, he could see that her eyes weren't able to focus on him.
"I think you should sit down,"
"I… wh- I want-"
Eddie couldn't fathom what she was trying to say or what words were passing through her lips, none of it made a sentence or any sort of sense but it didn't matter.
(Y/n)'s eyes rolled to the back of her head and she tumbled down like the collapsed building behind them and Eddie couldn't catch her in time to break her fall, but that didn't matter either. He barely managed to go down on his knees when (Y/n)'s limbs tensed and tightened up like she was a puppet whose strings were being pulled.
Both her hands bent at odd angles and her arms pinned against her chest that pushed off the floor while her head started to tremble and jerk back and forth.
She was having a seizure.
"Cap! Captain, go get Buck! Now." Eddie threw his helmet to the floor and leaned over (Y/n) whose body was taut and tense and looked like she was shivering all over. He was the least bit relieved to see that she wasn't fully thrashing around on the floor and her arms and legs weren't being thrown about at all angles, it was more her head that was jerking than the rest of her body.
He carefully turned (Y/n) over so she was laid on her left side and tried to keep his hand pressed against the back of her neck to keep her head forward. He had no way of knowing if she was going to be sick or if she might bite down on her tongue and make it bleed. Either way, he couldn't risk her choking.
"Hey, what-" Whatever Buck was about to say fizzled into the air when he looked over at his girlfriend, laid on the floor spasming and shaking.
He'd never seen her have a seizure before.
"What happened?!" Fury boiled over in Buck's voice as he roughly grappled with his helmet and chucked it down to the floor before he went down on his knees in front of (Y/n). "Babe? (Y/n), baby it's me, you're okay, it's alright." He tried to keep one hand on her arm to let her know he was there while he pushed his other hand beneath her neck and the floor to feel her pulse and check her airways were still open. They couldn't be trying to intubate her while she was seizing like this.
"Hen, get over here! Don't let that second ambulance go, get it here now!" Bobby waved Hen over and pointed over at a paramedic who was about to take the other empty ambulance away from the scene now that all the people were accounted for and safely being transported.
"Has she had an accident, hit her head? Had a reaction to something?" Hen kneeled down next to Buck and took Eddie's place keeping (Y/n)'s head tilted forward while she tried to clip a monitor onto (Y/n)'s finger and listen to her heartbeat.
"No, nothing. She, she doesn't have seizures, this isn't normal." Something violent flashed across Buck's pupils as his jaw locked shut.
This wasn't normal for her, (Y/n) didn't get seizures or get seriously ill other than the odd bout of flu or a cold. She had never collapsed before, never had a seizure and she hadn't hurt herself or had any reaction to anything that would bring this on. Nothing had happened to her today or even this week for this to happen, Buck had kept a close eye on her to make sure she was alright. Clearly she wasn't.
"Okay, okay I think it's starting to wear off. (Y/n), it's Hen can you hear me?"
(Y/n)'s arms stayed pinned against her chest like she was protecting herself from something and her body started to calm down with the shakes but her upper half was still tilting and pushing back and forth like she was being pushed and pulled.
Hen gently pulled up her eyelid to flash a light across her pupil but her eyes were only half visible, still looking up towards the top of her head. Now that she had stopped shaking, Hen tried to listen to her heartbeat and put a blood pressure cuff on her arm.
"Buck…"
"I'm here baby, it's me." Reaching forward, Buck carefully slipped his hand into (Y/n)'s half-curled fist that felt tense and stiff and unusual to him but he knew he could feel her fingers trying to press against the back of his hand. It was enough to make his erratic heartbeat calm down and he brought her hand close enough so he could kiss the back of her hand before he pressed it against his chest.
"Her pulse is steady and her blood pressure isn't too low, she's stable enough. Get her on the stretcher, she needs an MRI."
"On three, Buck. One, two, three." Eddie slipped his hands beneath (Y/n)'s shoulders and Buck lifted her lower half and legs and they carefully laid her down on her back on the stretcher the paramedics wheeled over. She felt so tense and stiff like she was in rigamortis, Buck had never felt her so taut like that before and he hated it.
"I'll ride along with you," Hen patted Buck's shoulder nd glanced over at Bobby for confirmation. One nod of his head was all it took for Buck to shed his jacket which he handed to Eddie before he and Hen climbed in the ambulance.
"We'll meet you at the hospital,"
He wouldn't be able to focus on shift without being by her side and making sure she was alright and everybody knew and understood that.
"Buck, it hurts," (Y/n)'s words were slurred and she could barely keep her eyes open for long but he managed to make out what she said and it broke his heart.
He shuffled closer to the stretcher and brought her hand to rest against his cheek to let her know he was still here with her. He leaned his head to the side a little so he could kiss her wrist and he rubbed his other hand up and down her arm and shoulder to try and stimulate her and keep her awake with him.
"What hurts, baby?"
"My head." (Y/n) tried to lift her free hand to rub her temple but her limbs were so stiff she could barely curl her fingers to her palm.
"It's okay, the doctors will make you better, don't you worry baby. Just keep talking to me, eh? The team will come up and meet us at the hospital, they're all worried 'bout you."
"Stay with me," (Y/n) tried to smile and managed a half smile in Buck's direction and she tried to keep her eyes on him and his baby blue orbs that were staring down at her intently. She could feel his fingertips grazing up and down her skin and his wet lips pressing on her wrist like he was kissing her pulse and helping her heartbeat calm down.
"I ain't going anywhere, baby." Buck smiled down at her and he could feel himself slowly starting to calm down. Maybe this was just a one time thing, maybe she would just need her head checking out and some tablets and be perfectly fine. That was what he was hoping for. But when he looked down at her again, his smile started to fade. "What's wrong with her eyes?"
He glanced between Hen and (Y/n) until she carefully leaned over and pulled (Y/n)'s eyelid higher to get a better look. Both her eyes were trembling from left to right so rapidly it was making Buck's head hurt just from looking at them.
"Baby, talk to me… what's wrong?"
"She's having another seizure." Hen held her wrist and checked her vitals before she sat back down but kept close watch.
"But she…" Buck didn't know what he wanted to say. He'd never seen someone have a seizure like this. Sure, (Y/n) was tense again like her muscles were about to snap, but she wasn't shaking or spasming and her head wasn't moving. Nothing was moving apart from her eyes, he'd never seen anything like it but then again, the fire department didn't deal with seizures all too often.
This wasn't right.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Buck's knee juttered up and down like he was a drummer hitting the bass beat over and over again and it caused his elbows to shake and his neck to strain. He had his shoulders hunched over, his elbows perched on his thighs and his entwined hands propping up his chin.
Something burned to life in his chest when the rest of the team came down to the waiting room to sit with him and wait for any news. He didn't have much of a family out here apart from Maddie who was currently still on shift, but the station had become his make shift family.
He almost clocked himself in the jaw when Eddie gently elbowed him and pointed over to the doctor who was fastly approaching them.
Panic was all Buck could feel and in a moment of desperation, he turned his head until his eyes locked on Bobby who got the silent plea. He advanced over to Buck, laid a hand on his shoulder and followed him to meet the doctor a few feet away from the rest of the team. If it was bad news Buck didn't want everyone else listening in, he wanted to hear it for himself first but he wanted Bobby there too. He was like his dad now and he needed that support.
"Is she okay?" Buck tucked his hands into his pockets to stop himself from scratching his arms to pieces out of nervous habit.
"The MRI showed she had a small bleed on the brain which we've managed to fix, the pressure caused the seizures."
Buck didn't know what to make of that, he wasn't one of the paramedics, sure he had the basic training. He could do CPR, he knew the basic recovery positions and he could help someone in respiratory distress, but this was beyond him.
"What caused the bleeding?" Bobby tightened his hand on Buck's shoulder, it mattered more to know why this happened than how they fixed it.
"We ran a few blood tests which showed her red blood cells were shredded, this is caused by a condition, TTP. It's brought on by pregnancy."
Buck's shoulders slumped and his mouth hung agape as he turned to look at Bobby as if for confirmation and reassurance that he was hearing this correctly. (Y/n) was pregnant. She never said anything to him or to anyone else, surely she couldn't have known about this either. He was going to be a dad. He was gonna have a baby.
"Is she- I- is she okay, though?"
"With medication and close monitoring she will be fine, you can go see her now. Congratulations."
In an instant, Buck had his arms around Bobby, reeling him in for a crushing hug and a breathless laugh before he reeled back and shot down the corridor. He had to go and see her right now, (Y/n) had to be the first person Buck talked to about this, she had to be the one to see his ecstatic face and feel how fast his heart was beating out of his chest at this news. He had to reassure himself (Y/n) was indeed alright after today, he couldn't get excited or relieved until he saw with his own eyes that she was alright.
"Baby," Buck could barely speak from how breathless he felt as he stumbled into (Y/n)'s room and his eyes set on her.
She was sat up in bed, her lips rolled together to supress a smile and tears drenching her exhausted features. He ignored the horrid look of the IV cannula in her hand and the white patch taped to the side of her head where he guessed they had managed to drain the bleed on her brain. All he could focus on was how she was trying to smile at him and just looking at her had his eyes watering.
(Y/n) couldn't help but giggle when Buck hazardly collapsed on the side of the bed and wound his arms tightly around her middle. She smiled when he nuzzled his face in the crook of her shoulder and kissed her neck while she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed the top of his head.
"I- I was so worried,"
"I know… are you happy?" Deep down, (Y/n) already knew the answer to her question but she had to ask anyway, just to be sure. She could feel him laugh into her neck, unable to believe she even had to ask him that and his arms tightened around her until he was pulling her up and crushing her into his chest trying to stuff her into his heart.
"Happy, are you kidding? I'm gonna be a dad!"

Forty-Eight Hours [Evan ‘Buck’ Buckley]🎄
Description: Buck tries to tell Y/N about his feelings before her date in 48 hours.
Warnings: Mentions of a house fire.
"Buck, where is the extra wrapping paper?" Y/N asks as she walks over to him from their storage closet.
"Uh-. Check in Bobby's office." He suggests. Y/N nods and heads upstairs.
Chimney and Eddie, who are standing on the other side of the table share a glance.
"So, when are you going to ask Y/N out?" Chimney asks.
Buck rolls his eyes at his friends.
"Really guys?"
"Evan, come on. You need to get over Abby. Y/N is a good girl, and she's already good for you. Just open yourself up."
"I just don't want to mess up. I like being friends with Y/N and I don't want her to leave." Buck says as he rips some tape off of the roll.
"Y/N isn't leaving Buck. She just bought a house, she's staying." Eddie points out.
Buck yet again rolls his eyes. They're right and he knows it.
Hen walks into the bays with more gifts under her arms.
"Wow, who donated those?" Buck asks, changing the subject.
Now it's Eddie and Chimney's turn to roll their eyes.
"Oh, they're actually from Y/N. She adopted a family this year and wanted to wrap the gifts while she was at work since they need to be dropped off right after shift." Hen explains, "There's more in her car if you guys want to help bring them in!"
Buck smiles and shakes his head.
"Yeah, it's unlocked right?"
Hen nods and continues towards the empty table.
The guys all walk out to Y/N's car.
"I love this kid, she's an angel in human form." Chimney says.
"Yeah she's definitely got a heart of gold." Eddie adds.
"I know what you guys are doing." Buck huffs.
"Yeah? Is it working?" Eddie asks as he opens the passenger door. He pauses for a second before a smile breaks out on his face. "Guys, look at that." He points to her dash, right under the speedometer.
It's a picture of Bobby, Eddie, Hen, Chimney, Buck, Christopher and Y/N last summer sitting on the front of the truck.
And another one of Buck and Y/N at fire prevention day.
"She has a picture of us in her car?" Buck asks.
"Seems so." Chimney claps his shoulder and rounds the back of her car.
"Evan, seriously. You need to ask her out. And I wasn't going to say anything but she's got a date the night after shift ends, so you've got forty-eight hours to find your balls and do what you want to do." Eddie says bluntly before going to help Chimney, leaving Buck to his thoughts.
"Oh shit."
§§§
Buck had been trying to talk to Y/N, but of course they've had back to back calls and there wasn't any time.
Y/N and Hen had just got back from a medical assist for a trauma patient, and Buck was waiting for them.
"Hey guys, how'd that call go?" He asks as the girls get out of the ambulance.
"It went okay, the guys probably won't make it due to his injuries though." Y/N says as she goes to the Medical Storage cabinet.
"That's too bad." Buck replies walking over to her, "Y/N, I wanted to talk to you about something-."
"All Units, Structure Fire." The PA system from dispatch cut Buck off.
"Shit!" Y/N grabs everything she needs and throws it in the back of the ambulance. "We'll talk later Buck."
Buck sighs and jogs over to the Engine.
Eddie comes up beside him and pats him on the back.
"You just need a Christmas miracle Buck. You'll talk to her." He encourages.
"Not at this rate, I won't."
"You've just got to believe." Eddie jokes.
"I can't believe I'm going to miss my chance because I was too stupid to say anything before." Buck complains as he takes his seat in the truck.
"Miss your chance at what?" Bobby asks.
Buck groans and puts his head in his hands.
"Y/N has a date after shift, in now forty hours and Buck is realizing he should've said something to her about his feelings before. He's trying to tell her before her date but they've had back to back calls." Chimney explains as he puts on his gloves.
"Buck, you should've told her way before now!" Bobby scolds.
"I know, thanks!" Buck replies sarcastically.
"Talk to her as soon as this is over with. You two are good for each other and I don't want you guys to miss the opportunity." Bobby says.
All Buck can do is shake his head and hope that he's not too late.
§§§
It was a horrible fire. The family lost everything and Y/N was so upset.
"I hate this universe. That is so unfair." She seethes.
Buck had walked over to the ambulance to talk to her but he immediately knew now wasn't a good time.
"Hey guys," He says to catch Hen and Y/N's attention, "You two okay?"
Y/N and Hen both have a frown on their faces, but nod their heads.
"This is just so unfair that this happens. I feel horrible for them." Y/N whispers, "I just wish there was something I could do to help, even just a little bit."
Buck can visibly see how upset Y/N is. Her voice is a tad scratchy and she's got tears in her eyes.
He's not surprised though, as she is one of the most kindest, caring and strongest people he knows. Though, all he wants to do is wrap her in a hug.
"It's Christmas, this shouldn't be happening." Y/N finishes before slamming the back door to the ambulance and going to get in the front seat.
Buck and Hen share a look.
"Maybe there is something we can do."
§§§
Y/N had been sitting in her bunk with her tablet since they got back from the call. She hasn't said anything or gotten up.
Her adopted family had been watching her through the glass for a while before she perked up and finally moved from her bed to the door.
At first she hadn't noticed them, causing her to jump when she walked through the door, but she got distracted she saw Hen standing there.
"Oh good, you're already here. I want to take a ride to Walmart in a few hours, okay?" Y/N doesn't give her time to finish before going back into her bunk.
The group just stands there, shocked by that interaction.
"What the hell is she getting up to in there?" Chimney asks, before walking to the common area.
"Should we tell her or just surprise her?" Hen asks Buck.
"I think we should surprise her."
§§§
Y/N had dragged Hen with her to pickup a Walmart order and bring it back to the house. Her mood had brightened and she wasn't as upset anymore.
Bobby walks into the common area and stops when he sees bags full of stuff like clothes, hygiene and household essentials and even some fun things like toys and entertainment items.
"I thought we were done wrapping presents for the toy drive?" He asks, breaking his silence.
Y/N looks up and shrugs.
"This isn't for the toy drive."
"So, what is it for?"
"It's for the family from our structure fire today." She mumbles.
Bobby nods and comes closer to the table and picks up a toy.
"Would you like some help?"
Y/N smiles and nods, "Yeah Captain, I'd like that."
So, they wrapped all of the presents and placed everything else in bags for the family to use while everyone else in the house slept.
By four in the morning Buck was just itching to tell Y/N what he did, but first he needed some coffee, so he headed to the kitchen.
But Buck wasn't expecting to find his Captain and Y/N passed out on the couches in the living area and tons of wrapped boxes and bags full of items scattered around.
He stops for a second before going over to Bobby and tapping his shoulder.
"Hey Cap?"
"Yeah?" Bobby asks, still asleep.
"What happened in here?"
That makes Bobby shoot up and look around.
Seeing that everything was fine and it was just Buck be laid back down.
"Y/N got all of this stuff for that family. So, I helped her get it ready last night." He pauses to yawn, and looks at Y/N. "Wake her up and make her go lay down in her bed. Her neck is going to be hurting." He says before getting up to go start a pot of coffee.
Buck goes over to Y/N and places his hand on her arm gently.
"Y/N, you need to go sleep in a bed. Not on the couch with your neck all twisted." Buck whispers.
Y/N opens one eye before shaking her head no.
"I'm too tired to move." She complains.
"Okay, so I will carry you. You don't need to be sleeping out on the couch." He argues.
Y/N rolls her eyes before sitting up.
"Okay." She whispers.
Buck places one arm around her and the other under her knees before lifting her up, into his arms. Once he's sure he's got a good grip on her he starts walking down the hall.
The journey is silent until she's being placed on her bed.
"I wish that didn't happen to them Buck. They are such good people."
Buck nods in agreement before stopping and staring at Y/N for a few seconds.
"Y/N?"
"Yeah Evan?"
"I am in love with you."
"I'm in love with you too."
Evan's heart stops for a second. He can't believe she said that.
He shakes his head, she's probably not even awake, so he shouldn't take it seriously.
He squeezes her hand tightly before standing up and walking out of the room.
§§§
Buck couldn't stop thinking about his encounter with Y/N earlier. His coffee had gotten cold because he hasn't touched it.
Buck is brought out of his head by Y/N walking into the living area.
"Good morning Buck!" She says.
"Good morning Y/N."
She walks past him and into the kitchen to grab one of her yogurts. She stops abruptly once she can see out the window.
"What is this?" She asks.
Buck stands up and walks over to her.
Outside there is a bunch of people, coming to donate food, household supplies, old clothes, anything you can think of really.
"This is for the Vasquez family. We set this up after we were done." He starts, "I got them set up at a house until they can get a new one or rebuild their house. They will be here in a few minutes actually."
"Are you serious?" She whispers.
"Yeah. You inspired this." Buck says, "You have a heart of gold and your Christmas spirit is unmatched. It's nice, especially in this line of work."
Y/N smiles and drops her eyes to the ground, scared to meet his eyes when she says what she's going to.
"I really am in love with you, Evan Buckley. I know I was half asleep when I said it this morning, but I really do love you."
Buck lifts Y/N's chin up and leans in.
"That's a good thing, because I'm in love with you too."
He leans in and presses a soft kiss to her lips.
They pull away and Buck sighs, "What about your date after shift?"
"What date after shift?"
Silent Night [Eddie Diaz] 🎄
Description: Eddie and his family spend Christmas Eve together and no nonsense is welcome.
A/N: This is sort of a additional part to "Prove It To Me"!
"Come on Chris. Let’s go get ready for bed." Eddie says as he notices Chris nodding off on the couch trying to watch National Lampoons Christmas Vacation.
Chris groans and sits up, rubbing his eyes.
"I want to see my baby first." Chris replies and grabs his glasses off of the side table.
Eddie helps his son off the couch and nods, "Momma took Hadley upstairs because she was getting fussy. If she’s awake you can see her, okay?"
Chris nods and Eddie picks him up to go up stairs. They turn into the nursery to see Y/N sitting in the rocking chair reading Hadley, who is smiling and cooing back at her mom, a book.
Eddie knocks on the door and comes in, putting Christopher back on the ground once he was by the chair the girls were in.
"We came to say goodnight." Eddie says, leaning down to kiss Y/N's forehead.
Y/N smiles and shifts the baby so there is room for Chris in her lap.
"Do you want me to read you both a book before bed?"
Christopher nods eagerly and Y/N wraps her arm around him to pull him into her lap.
She turns to the beginning of the book and says the title.
Eddie’s phone rings, causing everyone to turn their attention to it.
There had been a major incident and there was a possibility firefighters would get called in, unfortunately.
Eddie sees that his Mother is the one calling, so he groans.
"Dad, you don’t have to go to work do you?" Christopher asks, disappointed.
"No buddy. It’s your abuela. I’ll be back in a few minutes, okay."
He exits the room and answers his phone.
"Hello."
"Edmundo, it’s your mamá. I was wondering when you were going to bring your family home. The baby has been here for two months and we have yet to meet her."
He knew that this was coming. She’s trying to con him into moving back.
"Mamá, her name is Hadley. Y/N can’t just pack up and travel first of all, she’s a doctor. Second of all we’ve been short staffed at work so there’s a chance that I could get called in at anytime. Third, we are trying to keep Hadley contained to certain places and people. Flu season is running rampant and we aren’t willing to take any chances with flying." He tries to explain.
"Well what are we supposed to do? We can’t see our granddaughter? It’s not fair that you took of with Chris and now we can’t even meet her. Does she not like us or something?!" Eddie sighs and rolls his eyes, trying not to blow a gasket.
"What do you mean?"
"Your babies mother. Does she not like us?"
Eddie’s ears are steaming and he slaps his hand on the railing around the stairs.
"My daughters name is Hadley and my children’s mothers name is Y/N. Why can’t you say their names?!" He exclaims, "Y/N has never met you, why would she have a reason to not like you? Did you do something that makes you not like-able?" He pushes.
Eddie couldn’t figure out why his parents could never say Y/N’s name. It’s almost like they think they are above her and everyone else.
"Edmundo! How dare you speak to me that way!"
"How dare you call me on Christmas Eve, my baby’s first Christmas Eve and try to ruin my time with my family! Call me when you guys can grow up and acknowledge that Christopher isn’t coming back to you and I have moved on and created a life for myself out here." He hangs up his phone and runs his hands over his face.
After a moment Eddie looks at his watch and notices that it’s Christopher’s bedtime, so he makes his way back into Hadley's nursery.
A soft voice comes from the room, causing him to stop in his tracks.
"Silent night, holy night. All is calm, all is bright.
Round yon Virgin, Mother and Child. Holy infant so tender and mild. Sleep in heavenly peace,
Sleep in heavenly peace." Y/N sings, rocking her kids to sleep.
Eddie pokes his head in the room and smiles at the sight.
He knows he did something right now. Y/N is perfect and so are their kids.
"Silent night, holy night. Shepherds quake at the sight. Glories stream from heaven afar. Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia. Christ the Savior is born!
Christ the Savior is born." Y/N continues as she runs her hand through Christopher’s hair and rubs his neck.
Eddie continues to watch, just melting at the sight of the people he loves the most.
"Silent night, holy night. Son of God love's pure light. Radiant beams from Thy holy face. With dawn of redeeming grace, Jesus Lord, at Thy birth
Jesus Lord, at Thy birth." She finishes.
Y/N presses a kiss to both kiss heads and sighs, leaning further back into her chair.
Eddie finally comes into the room and sends her a bright smile.
"You’re amazing." He says.
Y/N giggles softly and shrugs.
"What can I say? I’ve got a natural touch."
"You most certainly do." He walks over and presses a quick, but sweet kiss to her lips.
"Is everything okay with your mom? You sounded pretty upset out there?" She asks quietly.
Eddie nods and lifts Christopher out of her lap.
"Everything’s okay. My mom is just being rude."
Y/N frowns, knowing she is the cause of it.
"I’m sorry that I can’t just go on trips without much notice, but you and Chris could go if you guys want. I don’t want to hold you back from seeing your family." She offers, getting up to put Hadley in her crib and make sure her monitors are hooked up.
Eddie shake his head no. "Absolutely not. This is my family." He circles his finger around the room, "And if my parents can’t accept that and respect our wishes and choices, I guess they’re not my family." Eddie says.
Before Y/N can say anything he walks out of the room and into Christopher’s room to put him to bed.
Y/N sighs, but stays with Hadley a little longer to make sure she’s okay for the night.
Eddie eventually makes his way back in and wraps his arms around Y/N’s waist so she can lean back into him.
"I’m not going to let them walk all over us and disrespect us at all. I’m tired of it happening and it won’t happen to you, Hadley, Christopher or myself anymore. I will cut off all contact and ties with them if I have to. I’m finally happy, I’m not willing to risk this."
Y/N turns around in his arms and wraps her arms around his neck.
"I love you, Eddie. Thank you for sticking up for us."
"Always, mi amor."
