911: Eclipse of the Heart

Chapter 28 - Understand

"Kymber! You're back!" Chimney yelled from upstairs as Bobby and Kymber walked into the station. Another month had gone passed.

"How's life with Bobby?" Hen smirked walking out of the locker room.

"It's good." Kymber looked up at Bobby and smiled, "Really, really good."

"Very fun." Bobby winked.

"Robert Wade Nash!" Kymber elbowed him.

"Ooooh, she used your full name. You're in trouble." Buck laughed.

"Am I wrong though?" Bobby smirked down at Kymber, "We've had a lot of fun."

"Robert." Kymber looked up at him.

"Kymberly." Bobby mocked, "It's not like they don't know."

"But you don't have to make it that obvious." Kymber blushed.

"Let me tell you, Kymber... You've brought out a completely different Bobby. He used to be Mr. Professional, but now he cracks jokes just like the rest of us." Eddie laughed.

"It wasn't a joke..." Bobby said.

"Do you want me to elbow you again?" Kymber asked.

"Fine. I'll stop." Bobby smirked as he walked into his office.

"You must've put a spell on him or something, because he is head over heels." Hen said.

"What?" Kymber looked at her.

"I swear. You've completely changed him, and for the better." Hen smiled.

"I've not done much." Kymber chuckled.

"You've done something. I'm surprised he hasn't asked you to marry him yet, to be honestly." Hen said.

"Is that so?" Kymber asked.

"Oh yeah. He's mentioned to me a few times now how he feels the same way about you that he did about Marcy. He really cares about you a lot. It wouldn't surprise me if he proposes soon." Hen smirked.

"Don't get my hopes up!" Kymber smiled.

"I'm just saying..." Hen started to walk towards the stairs.

"Wait." Kymber said as she ran up behind Hen.

"What's up?" Hen stopped and turned around.

"You really think he's going to propose?" Kymber asked.

"I do." Hen smiled.

"Do you think that he would tell you before he does?" Kymber looked at her.

"I'm not sure... But I know why you're asking. If he does, I'm not going to tell you." Hen chuckled and started walking towards the stairs again.

"Awe, really?" Kymber said, following her.

"Really. I won't tell you because I don't want to ruin the moment." Hen smirked.

"Why is this so important to you, Hen?" Kymber sighed as she turned around to see Bobby down on one knee behind her, "Oh my god."

"What?" Bobby looked up at her.

"Is this really happening?" Kymber smiled.

"Is what happening?" Bobby smirked.

"You know what I mean." Kymber laughed.

"I'm just tying my shoe." Bobby looked down at his boot.

"Wow. Really?" Kymber chuckled.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Bobby smirked as he stood up and gave her a hug, "I'm sorry. I had too. I thought it would be funny."

"It kinda was." Kymber rolled her eyes, "It was still mean though."

"I told him he shouldn't do it." Hen called from upstairs.

"Let me guess, the guys told you that you should?" Kymber looked up at Buck, Eddie, and Chimney all watching over the rails.

"Maybe." Eddie shrugged, "I do have something I want to say though... Can you guys come up here?"

"Uh... Yeah. Sure." Kymber said as her and Bobby made their way to the stairs.

"What's up, Eddie?" Bobby asked as they reached the table. Everyone sat around the table, while Eddie was pacing back and forth at the end of it.

"I just wanted to say this with people around... I need to get something off my chest." Eddie stopped and leaned over, placing his hands on the table.

"Are you alright?" Buck looked at him, with worry covering his face. Bobby, Hen, Kymber, and Chimney all exchanged looks, knowing what was about to come.

"Yeah... I'm fine." Eddie took a deep breath, "Buck, you have been my best friend since I got here. You mean so much to me and you mean so much to Christopher..."

"Ok...?" Buck looked around.

"Evan Buckley, I am in love with you." Eddie stared at him. Buck looked around at the smiles on everyone's faces.

"You... You do?" Buck looked down at Eddie's feet.

"I do... And I know you might not feel the same way... If this is too weird, I understand. I just needed to let you know." Eddie slumped down in the chair at the end of the table. Buck took a deep breath before quickly walking over to Eddie. Buck grabbed Eddie's face in his hands and kissed him.

"Told you." Bobby smirked as he crossed his arms.
