Summary
He never expected that the first words out of Chris’ mouth upon seeing each other for the first time in months is, “What is on your face?”
It catches him off guard. It's not angry. It's sassy. It's his son.
“I am trying something?” he replies, “I guess I can put you into the nay votes.”
Chris just shrugs with a small smile before leaning back into their hug.
Something settles back into place in Eddie’s chest as he holds his kid. This kid who had shot up like a weed over the summer, as teenage boys seem to do. A moment passes before his own courage takes root and can ask, “Can we go to our lake, just you and me?”
And before the nerves can turn his stomach Chris grabs tighter and nods fiercely into his shoulder. He buries his nose in his son’s wild curls, breathing deep and kissing his head.

Or Chris is ready to come home, Eddie takes him to the lake first.Series
