    Summary

    If Buck could go back to all those weeks ago and tell himself that this idea would place at the top of the list of his monumentally stupid ideas, he would do it in a heartbeat. He would knock some sense into his own head, or let Maddie do it for him.

    But here he is now, and a time machine, unfortunately, hasn’t been invented yet.

    Here he is now, with Eddie boring into his eyes after that. After realizing he’s been caught red-handed. Except, the implication Eddie’s just made means he’s been sitting on this. And, holy hell.

    Eddie breathes out, his chest puffing out noticeably.

    “Not so quick to answer when the tables are turned, are you?”

    ____

    OR Buck ends up asking Eddie the thirty-six questions to fall in love. And really, what’s the worst that could happen?

    Summary

    Eddie finds joy. Letting himself have it is a bit more complicated.

    (Or: Eddie always thought he didn't believe in signs, but the evidence is getting pretty tough to ignore.)

    “Edmundo,” his father intones, voice deeper and rougher than Eddie remembers. “You need to come home now.”

    “What happened,” Eddie says — doesn’t ask, because whatever it is, he knows he’ll spend the rest of his life hating himself for. Whatever it is, it’s Chris, and Eddie wasn’t there for it. Everything else is schematics.

    “H-He…dios, Eddie.” Eddie’s only heard his father cry once before. “He tried to kill himself.”

    Summary

    “Intersex?” Buck asks, brow furrowed and just so deeply confused, “No, no, Eddie’s not intersex. She’s trans. A trans woman.” It had been a while since Buck had needed to confirm to people that Eddie was a woman. Not since the very early days of her transition before she had started hormones or gotten any of her legal documents fixed up.

    The nurse blinks, then lets out a small noise of confusion herself. “Mr. Buckley, I’m not sure if Ms. Diaz has decided not to disclose something with you, and if that’s the case then -”

    “I’ve known Eddie since before she transitioned. She’s not intersex,” Buck interrupts.

    “Mr. Buckley,” the nurse starts again, tone more stern this time, “I’m just going off of the results of the tests we’ve done - results that we have double checked. Regardless of what she may have told you, all of our scans show that Ms. Diaz has the internal reproductive system needed for pregnancy. And that she’s currently pregnant.”

    In which Eddie is pregnant. Which is strange, considering she’s a trans woman and Buck is a trans man. But who is she to look a gift horse in the mouth?

    Summary

    “She said she wasn’t worried about us breaking up.”

    Oh. Well. That was pretty definitively a thing that people said about partners who were together romantically.

    “Say something,” Buck instructed.

    “What?”

    “Anything,” Buck said, his voice wavering on the word. Which was—it was weird, right? Why was Buck so shaken by a throwaway comment?

    Or maybe the better question was why wasn’t Eddie? If either of them was going to get freaked out by the assumption that he was dating a man, it would make more sense for it to be Eddie, who was straight, and not Buck, who had, in fact, already dated men.

    “Aren’t you going to be late for your shift?”

    -----

    Buck and Eddie get shaken up by a comment from Theo’s social worker, and then by a magnitude 7 earthquake; it turns out, some disasters are better than others.
