Summary
Eddie is in a coma, and Buck blames himself. He should've been there to protect Eddie. The least he can do now is to be there for Christopher, even if Buck doesn't know if he has it in him to be a parent without Eddie. Buck makes Eddie a deal: he'll fight for Christopher in the real world, while Eddie fights to wake up.
Eddie's come a long way since those bleak days in El Paso, listening to his parents comments about how he's not fit to be a father. How Christopher doesn't deserve to be dragged down by the likes of Eddie and Shannon. Eddie thought after moving to LA, he and Chris had escaped that. When he wakes up and finds Buck neck-deep in a legal battle with his parents for custody of Christopher, Eddie must face his own mistakes, and find the confidence to stand up for himself against his absolute worst nightmare.

Summary
“This is Theo.”
A crease forms between her brows. “Theo?”
Buck squeezes the little hand in his. “My-uh, my son.” The words come out stilted, Buck feeling like he was 12 years old again. “Hey, buddy, you and Jee go play.” Margaret looks confused for only a moment, watching the little boy run off.
Buck fills the silence before anyone else can. “Connor and Kameron, his parents” He pauses, the names still catching in his throat. “They passed away in a car accident last year. I was their sperm donor, you remember a couple years ago, uh- he’s been with me ever since they passed.”
“And you’re…” Phillip begins carefully.
“I’m fostering him.”
“Evan’s adopting him,” Maddie adds gently.
Buck nods. “Been approved and everything.”
Margaret’s expression softens. She looks at Theo, sitting cross-legged on the carpet with Jee, cooing at something Nash did. Margaret crosses the room and lowers herself until they’re eye level. “Hello, sweetheart.”
OR
The Buckley Parents meet Theo for the first time.

Summary
Theo picks at the hem of his shirt. “Eli said it was weird.”
Buck frowns. “What was weird?”
“That I call you Buck.” The words land harder than they should.
Buck crouches down slowly. “Okay.”
Theo stares at the worksheet instead of him. “And Miss Jenny asked if maybe I wanted to call you Dad instead.”
Buck feels like someone shoved a fist straight through his ribcage. “Oh.”
Theo’s tiny shoulders hunch. “I didn’t know the right answer.”
Or
Theo is trying to figure out what to call Buck.

And Buck wants him. God, he wants him. That’s the terrifying part.
Or
