Summary
“So… you’ve been talking about Buck in therapy?”
Eddie wipes his hand across his face and groans. “I’ve been talking about everything in therapy. Christopher, Shannon, my parents, my childhood, my time in the army, my job. Not to even mention all the other greatest hits, like the several times I’ve almost died, the time Christopher could’ve died in the tsunami, the time Buck almost died right in front of me, Buck—just, generally, Buck and Tommy—”
“You talked about Buck and Tommy in therapy?” Karen’s eyes shoot wide open when she interrupts, and Eddie lets out an even more long-suffering sigh. He definitely did not mean to say that one out loud.
or; Eddie begins the slow process of putting his life back together. He doesn't have to spend a moment of it alone.

Summary
“Can we talk later? Eddie’s son is missing.”
“Well, about that…” Margaret is looking at Chris, like he somehow knows how to break the news. Chris shakes his head. He didn’t want to call any of them in the first place; she can figure it out.
“About – about what?”
“Is someone missing if you know where they are?”
“Do- do you know where Chris is?” Buck’s voice is raised in bewilderment and hope. There’s a clear ‘what!’ in the background, followed by shushing noises.
“I can probably do you one better?”
“Are you – are you telling me that Chris is in Pennsylvania?” Buck is speaking very slowly and very clearly, so different from his usual fast paced ramble. “In Hershey? How did he get there?”
--
Chris fixates about what Buck shared during their conversation before he left for El Paso. Seeing similarities between his situation and Buck’s, he runs off to Hershey to learn more about Buck’s past, and hopefully get some answers for his future.- Language:

Bookmarker's Notes
Chris <3
---
The worst part is, he thinks Helena is being sincere. She believes with her whole heart and body that Chris would be better with them. It’s not anything malicious, not some evil strategy to castigate his dad. It’s really not anything deeper than an all abiding sense that she knows and can do the best. Which makes it worse.---
It sucks that they couldn’t manage their grief, weren’t able to move on to be the parents I deserved, but it was freeing to know that ultimately, it wasn’t really about me. Even if it did hurt me.”
