I literally cannot remember or find if i have shared this snippet already publicly so if so, have it again!

Eddie swallows and squeaks out a thank you before hanging up. 

He makes his way down stairs and he sees Maddie leaning against the desk by the ambulance entrance. She has a tablet and she’s tapping the stylus against the counter absentmindedly. She has a focused look on her face. probably taking stock of what they have, making sure everything’s organized before inevitable chaos. 

She raises her head and spots him. 

“Eddie! Did you hear, there was an explosion downtown, we are gonna be swamped with victims, or are they lending you to us cause you are experienced with this type of thing? Thank heavens- we were already short staffed and then Collins called out-“ 

Eddie grabs her arm and softens his look. 

“Maddie-“ 

She keeps rambling about how she’s trying to figure out how they’re going to make the rooms work with the patients. And how there will probably be quite a few DOAs. 

“Maddie,” he says more firmly, “I need to tell you something- about the explosion. Let’s go sit.” 

“Eddie what the hell is going on, I have to get ready for several incoming traumas.” 

He finally gets her to sit in one of the barely cushioned chairs and swallows thickly.

Maddie is barely in the door before Buck launches into a rant, “Maddie how could you not tell me you’re “NICU nurse friend” is possibly the hottest, cutest man I have ever seen but you have also offered him my number, on more than one occasion, unbeknownst to me. You had ulterior motives!”

“So I see you met Eddie,” she says dropping her bag on the floor and toeing off her shoes, “He needed it to be on his terms, or at least think it was.”

“Yeah, he uh mentioned not being ready to date, what’s that all about?”

“Not my story to tell. But I hear you have his number so you can ask him yourself.” She just grins and opens the fridge to grab a glass of juice before she heads to bed.

Hi yeah I wrote this one the bus ride home cause well, who am I to deny anyone Big Men Even Tinier Babies when its been plaguing my mind for 3 days and I guess i have no impulse control im so sorry

He catches buck watching and after he makes some final notes on her chart, he exits the room and comes face to face with Buck.  His arms are crossed, the sleeves of his soft gray shirt pushed up his forearms underneath his light purple scrub top. The tiny stethoscope hanging around his neck, a tiny monkey holding tight. “Are you her father?” he questions, skepticism already lacing every word.  Buck nearly jumps out of his skin, “Oh god no! I- I’m just-“  His right eyebrow starts expertly climbing his brow as buck stumbles  “I'm um, I'm a firefighter-'' he shucks the left side of his jacket a little to reveal the emblem, “I’m on the team that brought her in yesterday?” Buck tries, “I’m the one who held her all the way here.” The nurse softens, “And my sister, she- she’s the one who said it would be okay for me to come by- Maddie, she’s a nurse down in the ED-  I’ll leave if it’s not, I have pretty much gotten what I came for anyway ,I’m so sorry.” Buck rambles, fidgeting and looking over his shoulder.  The nurse starts smiling, and Buck had never seen anything like it. “You’re Evan!” and there’s a sparkle in his eye that could rival stars in rural Montana.

have sadness from bmtb cause it can’t all be fluff and roses i guess.

“please tell me you saved a cute cat from a tree today or something?” eddie’s voice is like brittle steel.

“eddie-“

“please buck, i can’t talk about it yet.” buck had never heard eddie like this before.

“that’s okay. you don’t have to. i- i’m just worried about you. you’re not alone are you?”

buck takes the heavy silence as eddie confirming his suspicions.

“okay i’m coming over.” buck takes a breath as he finds his keys and slips on his shoes, “so today, chimney, who is like completely head over heals for maddie by the way even if he can’t see it, tried to make caps famous mac and cheese. we ended up having to order pizza. and we did actually rescue a cat from a tree today, and he was indeed cute. orange tabby. all that was missing from my day was a dalmatian.”

buck hears a watery laugh through the tinny speakers, that suddenly dissolves into tears.

“i hate it when we don’t win.” eddie say gasps through the hiccup.
