Summary
“Eddie,” Buck breathes, laughing humorlessly, his voice wet and thick. “If we sat here and-- and went through the list of things I want…” his hands gesture aimlessly. “We’d-- be here all night.”
Eddie nods, catching Buck’s eyes again. “Maybe-- we start with mine, then.”
The space between them feels charged with static, like the second before the thunder finally rumbles.
-----
Eddie’s finally choosing to be better-- finally choosing joy. He just needs a push or two in the right direction, first.

Summary
Eddie listens to the voicemail later. Buck sounds like he’s at a grocery store, absentmindedly talking into the phone. “Oh, I guess you’re with your sisters. Sorry to miss you. I just wanted to tell you about this call we had last night, but I gotta hear your reactions, so, later. Okay, uh, I guess I’ll just call back. Or text.”
It ends abruptly, without a goodbye. Eddie replays it a second time, closes his eyes as he sits in the truck. For a moment, he can pretend Buck is sitting in the passenger seat next to him. For a moment, Eddie is back in Los Angeles and his best friend is dragging him through the grocery store.
The voicemail ends, Eddie opens his eyes, and the fantasy breaks. Eddie is still in El Paso, parked in front of the house he’s renting, and there’s no one in the passenger seat with him.
Eddie moves to Texas. Buck moves into his house. There's a love story somewhere in here.

Summary
Spring had officially sprung in Los Angeles, and baby fever infects one of LA’s finest, one firefighter Eddie Diaz.
He couldn’t stop thinking about having a kid with Buck if he tried, and maybe the universe doesn’t want him to based on the countless cute babies that keep winding up in his big arms.
Not that he believes in that kinda thing.
But he can’t tell Buck that, he could never ask him to leave work for nearly a year, so soon after he literally lost his mind. So he does the normal thing and keeps it in the same mental lock box he used to keep his feelings for Buck in.
Meanwhile, somethings up with two out of three of Bobby’s kids and he needs to get to the bottom of it.
(AKA the 6A rewrite where Buck is pregnant instead of doing that donor storyline, now fully complete + epilogue)
