Summary
‘He’s not my other dad, he’s just Buck.'
Although, there has been a vibe since they got back from El Paso and with them all living together, Dad and Buck hovering and circling around each other in a way that’s new. They’ve been sharing the bedroom at home and leaving the door ajar, which Chris feels is needlessly pointed, like he’s the parent and they’re the teenagers proving they’re not getting up to anything. Chris’s whole existence indicates his Dad’s track record on Getting Up To Things. Not that he wants to think about that. It's just. He really hates the idea his Dad is keeping stuff from him again. Especially something like this. Something that will change everything.

Summary
“Eddie!” Nash yells repeatedly. “Eddie! Eddie!”
Eddie feels himself turning bright red.
“Wow,” he says after his name is repeated a good half a dozen more times in a row. “You weren’t kidding, huh?”
“He’s been like this all day,” Maddie says with a grin on her face. She shifts Nash in her arms, pointing over at Eddie as she says, “Look who it is, sweetie. It’s Eddie!”
Nash frowns, looking confused. “Eddie?”
Maddie nods. “Yeah, that’s Eddie!”
“Eddie!” Nash yells, reaching for Buck. “Eddie!”
*
(When baby Nash's first word is “Eddie”, questions are raised as to how this could possibly have happened.)
