Summary
Now, months later, Eddie reads Theo to sleep once a week, and Buck creeps down the hallway to watch them through the crack in the door. He’s almost become immune to seeing them like that.
Almost.
He knows what to expect when he quietly pads down the hall to Theo’s room, darkness seeping into the house. Eddie’s voice carries through the open door, barely above a whisper. The sound of a page being turned and a small gasp from Theo soon follow. Buck peers around the door. Theo is curled up on one side, his head on Eddie’s chest and his stuffed dinosaur clasped tightly. His eyes are fixated on the page in front of him. Eddie is sprawled out beside him, a little too tall for the bed.

Summary
Rocking back on his heels, Buck pushes himself up. He stretches his arms behind him as he climbs to his feet, shifting his weight from one foot to the other.
Then it hits.
Pain flickers through his left ankle, sparking beneath his skin and dancing across the bone.
Buck stumbles, almost falling into the refurbished flowerbed before he manages to catch himself. He winces and shifts all of his weight onto his right leg. The pain retreats to the same dull ache he had ignored a few minutes before, the sensation settling into the bone. It prickles beneath his skin like pins and needles, a slight numbness settling into his ankle. He reaches down and presses his gloved fingers to the bone, trying to feel for an injury he might have missed.

Summary
Chris smiles up at him like it’s any other day, like Buck didn’t almost kill him less than twenty-four hours ago. “Are you staying for breakfast?”
“Buck’s staying the whole day,” Eddie announces before he can answer.
“You are?” Chris asks at the same time Buck says, “I am?”
“Yep,” Eddie says with a finality to it that Buck is hopeless to argue over.
“Cool!” Christopher grins.
“Cool,” Buck echoes with a forced, strained smile. He’d rather be alone and hiding under the covers right now, throwing himself another pity party.
