911: Eclipse of the Heart

Chapter 58 - Comfortable

Knock! Knock!

"I'll get it!" Kymber said as she excitedly ran over to the door. She opened it to reveal Hen, Karen, Denny and Nia. 

"Aunt Kymber!" Denny said as he ran up and gave her a hug. 

"Hey, bud! How are you?" Kymber asked. 

"I'm good. Where are my new friends?" Denny asked with his eyes open wide. 

"Yours and Nia's new friends, remember?" Karen looked at Denny. He just nodded his head. 

"They are sleeping right now, but they should be awake soon." Kymber smiled at him, "It's so good to see you again."

"It's only been a week." Hen laughed. 

"I know... But I've missed you guys." Kymber shrugged. 

"Oh, hey!" Athena said as her and Tommy walked up the path to the front door. 

"Hey!" Kymber smiled as she looked over to them. Athena and Tommy had been seeing each other since the firefighter's ball, and things were going well between them. 

"How are you feeling?" Athena asked. 

"I'm feeling pretty good. Tired, but good. Bobby has been amazing with getting the babies in the middle of the night so I can sleep." Kymber said. 

"Hey everyone!" Bobby said as he walked out of the kitchen, wiping his hands on a dish cloth.

"Well, hello there, dad!" Tommy joked. 

"Hey, Tommy." Bobby smirked. 

"Congratulations, bud. I'm happy for you." Tommy said. 

"Thanks, Tommy." Bobby smiled. 

"Hello!" Christopher's voice rang out from the driveway. 

"Christopher!" Eddie's hushed voice could be heard. 

"Oh, look. Buck and Eddie are here." Bobby laughed. 

"How did you know that?" Buck asked as he rounded the garage and headed towards the front door. 

"I have ears, Buck." Bobby said. 

"Are Maddie and Chimney here yet?" Buck asked as he walked in the door. 

"Not yet... Why?" Bobby asked as a worried expression fell over his face. 

"Nothing bad, I promise... I just wanted to talk to you about something... Could we step out back?" Buck asked nervously. 

"Uh... Yeah. Sure. Right this way." Bobby flung the dish towel over his shoulder and led Buck to the backyard. 

"What was that about?" Hen looked confused. 

"I honestly have no idea." Eddie said as he and Christopher reached the doorway. 

"Huh... Weird." Hen huffed. 

"We're here! Sorry, I guess we're a little late." Maddie said as her and Chimney made their way up the path. 

"What makes you say that?" Kymber asked. 

"Everyone else is here already." Chimney said. 

"That's ok. We were actually a bit early." Karen smiled. 

"So what's this about you putting a sign on Bobby's office door?" Kymber raised her eyebrow at Chimney. 

"Uhh... Well... It was a joke?" Chimney's face got red. 

"What sign?" Maddie turned to look at him. 

"It said 'Boom Boom Room'." Kymber rolled her eyes. 

"Are you saying that Bobby got it on in his office? Way to go Bobby!" Tommy cheered. 

"Not Bobby..." Hen smirked. 

"Someone else?" Athena looked at Hen, concerned. 

"Who?!" Maddie asked eagerly. 

"That would be me..." Eddie awkwardly raised his hand. 

"Oh... Oh... Oh my god! You and my brother?! In Bobby's office?!" Maddie became disgusted as the realization hit. 

"...yeah..." Eddie said quietly. 

"Anyways... I need to go check on the babies..." Kymber said as she pointed towards the stairs and ran off. 

"I'll help." Karen said as she followed after Kymber. 

"So... How's everything at the 217?" Eddie said, trying to change the subject. 

"Things are good... No one has done it on our captain's desk though... Maybe we should get on that." Tommy said as he glanced at Athena. 

"Oh hell no." Athena chuckled. 

"Where's my brother?" Maddie asked, looking around. 

"He went outside with Bobby for some reason." Hen shrugged. 

"Oh... Ok. Is he alright?" Maddie looked at Eddie. 

"I think so?" Eddie said, "He never said anything to me about it." 

"I know!" Christopher said excitedly. 

"You do?" Eddie looked at Christopher confused. 

"But Buck told me I can't tell." Christopher smiled. 

"Of course he did." Eddie rolled his eyes. 

"Oh! Hey, Mads! Hey, Chim!" Buck said as he and Bobby walked back into the room. 

"Are you good?" Maddie asked. 

"I'm great." Buck said. 

"You sure?" Eddie asked. 

"I am sure." Buck said. 

"Need any help in the kitchen, cap?" Hen asked. 

"No, I am alright. You guys just make yourselves comfortable. Dinner will be ready soon." Bobby said as he walked back into the kitchen.
