Summary
“Hi, this is Firefighter Buckley with the 118. Isabel and Josephina got a clean bill of health, sir. You don’t have anything to worry about, I’ll be here with them if they have any questions for us,” Buck reassures, and, surprisingly, he’s met with absolute silence on the other end.
He waits a few seconds, then lowers the phone to check if the call dropped. It still says ‘Edmundo’ on the screen, and Buck catches a glance at the contact picture of said Edmundo on Isabel’s phone, and gapes for a moment. The guy’s real young, holding a newborn baby in his arms, baseball cap pulled down over most of his face but a dazzling smile, clear as day, peaks out.
“Right. Uh, thank you, Firefighter Buckley.” And wow, oh. It’s a nice voice too, velvet and rich sounding. A little gravelly, but in a very pleasant way. Buck likes it. But not in any way that means something. Objectively, it’s a nice sounding voice. Right.
***
Or, the five times Abuela and Pepa try to matchmake probationary firefighter Buck with freshly single dad Eddie moving to Los Angeles, and the one time they don't need to do anything at all.

Summary
Eddie shakes his head. “Well that doesn’t make sense, the kid was like ten, eleven years old. The only way Lennie could have a eleven year old is if you…”
Buck waits patiently as the gears in Eddie’s brain start turning. His best friend looks up at the ceiling, mouthing words with no sounds escaping his lips.
“Buck, are you still there?” Megan asks after a moment.
“Yes.” Buck drags his eyes back to the phone as Eddie continues to mutter to himself. “Eddie is…he’s absorbing.”
“Eddie is confused,” he shouts suddenly, falling onto the couch next to Buck. “Dios. Are you seriously telling me that that kid is Buck’s kid?”
OR Buck 1.0 comes back to bite him in the ass.

Summary
Buck leans into Eddie’s touch, just for a second, before clearing his throat. “They want me to take temporary emergency custody. Just until better arrangements are made.”
The loft falls eerily silent. It would be almost comical, the way the entire team has simultaneously held their breath, if he didn’t feel like a lead weight was resting on his shoulders.
Hen, ever pragmatic, is the first to recover. She looks at him with an expression Buck can only call cautious, gentle and kind around the edges. “Temporary?”
“I couldn’t abandon her.” He can feel something just behind his teeth, waiting to spill out, but he can’t quite name it. “Not if I could do something about it.”
(or, buck fosters a traumatised teen and together they start to heal.)
