    Summary

    “Hey, bud!” says the scowling man, suddenly all smiles. The smile changes his face into something beautiful; Kelly realizes that this kid has not one but two hot dads.

    As he’s swept into the arms of his other dad and they start off in the direction of the nearest ice cream shop, Kelly says to the curly-haired man, “You two have an adorable son.”

    [10 times Buck is mistaken for Christopher's dad and 2 times it's not a mistake. Contains major spoilers for 5x14]

    Summary

    "Though—and I know you probably don't want to talk about it, but since you and Natalia are over with now, I've been wondering…" Maddie pauses, watches Buck make a face like he's bracing to be smacked. "What happened with Eddie?"

    Buck stops wincing and just blinks at her for a second. Then he says, "What?"

    "You two were dancing around it for so long, and then… what, it just didn't work out? Was the date really that bad?"

    She's expecting another wince, or even for him to duck out of the conversation entirely, but instead Buck is staring at her like she's grown a second head. "Maddie. I've never been on a date with Eddie."

    -

    Or: the poker game was a date. It takes Buck a while to catch on, though.

    Summary

    After a while he starts to miss Mom a little bit less, and he thinks Dad does too, because they have Buck. He doesn’t think about her a hundred times a day like he used to, maybe just once or twice, or some days not at all until he says goodnight to her because Dad framed a picture of the three of them to always sit on Chris’ nightstand. At first he felt bad that there are days when he doesn’t think of her but Dad tells him it’s okay because the love is still there anyway and that makes a lot of sense because he always loves her even when she’s not on his mind, just like he always loves Dad when he’s not on his mind either. Buck says Dad is definitely right because the love is in his heart and his heart beats it all through his body so of course it’s always there, it’s always there making his heart beat and his body warm.

    Chris is really glad he has both Dad and Buck to help with the hurt and the tough questions. He already knows a lot himself, but it’s good to have back-up.

     

    or, Buck and Eddie through Christopher's eyes.
