Summary
Fuck.
Buck scrubs a hand down his face. He’s got no idea what he’s supposed to do here.
He knows what his parents are like. He has his own childhood to draw from, and Isaac doesn't deserve that. He deserves to grow up surrounded by love, and if nothing else, Buck can give him that.
But Buck is also a twenty-six year old probationary firefighter, living in his girlfriend’s apartment while she travels the world. He’s not exactly in a position to look after a kid.
“Okay.” It comes out in a rush of air. “I’m gonna come get you."

Summary
“Fathers Day?”
“Yeah! It’s like a birthday,” Chris tells him excitedly. “But for all the dads, all over the world. You give them presents and everything. Abuela is going to help me make a cake. Oh! You should make a card too!”
Zac frowns. He doesn't really want to make a card for his dad. He hasn’t seen him in forever, not since Buck came and said they could live with each other. He’d rather make a card for Buck.

Summary
It’s been a difficult five months.
Buck had spent the first eight weeks in the bulky cast, confined to the couch or his bed after coming home from Eddie’s. Zac had spent the first month of his summer break bouncing between sleepovers with Maddie, Hen and Eddie.
That’s all behind them now.
He's passed his physical, and been cleared by his doctor. All that’s left is his recertification test, and Buck is feeling better than ever.

Summary
It’s a truly unremarkable Friday when Eddie realises, with sudden shocking clarity, that he wants— no, that he’s going— to marry Buck.
Buck is asleep when Eddie comes to this realisation, bathed in the soft flickering light of the television. He’s got his feet kicked up on the coffee table, head thrown back, with a kid tucked in on either side of him.
Watching this quiet moment, it’s like something suddenly clicks inside of Eddie, a final piece falls into place as he realises that this— this is what he wants for the rest of his life.
