Buck groaned, when he squinted his eyes open. Sighing, he was about to fall back to sleep, before hs shot up, looking around frantically. Where was he?

Buck smelt something nice comeing through the door. Slowly standing up, he pulled on his hoodie, hood up he walked out of the room, head banging.

He stopped in the living room, when remembering this as Bobby's and Athena's place, so he calmed down.

"Morning sleeping beauty." Buck heard somebody say, so he turned to look in the kitchen seeing Eddie, Maddie, Bobby, and Athena all there.

Buck raised an eyebrow, when Maddie walked on over and put a hand on his shoulder.

"How you feeling?" Maddie asked softly.

"Like I just got hit with a bus." Buck addmitted, causing Maddie to giggle.

"Well, don't you always." Maddie mummered, before slowly sitting her brother down at the dining room table, "Bobby has made us some breakfast."

Bobby, Athena, Eddie, and Maddie sat down, Buck at the head of the table, then Maddie beside him, Bobby on his other side, on the other side of Bobby was Athena, and opposite Athena was Eddie, but he was also on the other side of Maddie.

"Wh-Where are Hen and Chimney?" Buck stuttered.

"They went home. I only stayed because Bobby offered, and plus the babysitter said she would stay the night with Christopher and get him to school." Eddie said.

"Shouldn't you go and see him? You haven't saw him since yetsurday morning." Buck said, while Eddie only sighed.

"He's been at school alot, and he's grown to like the babysitter. So, I have left him in good hands." Eddie said, while Buck nodded with a small smile.

"Who's Christopher?" Maddie asked, looking at Eddie.

"Oh, my Son. He's 8." Eddie answered.

"And, you've met him?" Maddie asked, looking at her brother.

"Yeah. He's a good Kid, smart." Buck said, taking a bit into his toast.

"Yeah. Hope I can meat him." Maddie answered.

"I doubt you won't. We have quite abit of parties around here." Eddie answered, "And, plus Chris loved Buck. He's great with Kids."

"What can I say? I love the Kid." Buck said, standing up when he had finished his plate and started washing it up.

"You really don't have to do that." Athena said.

"No, it's okay." Buck answered, putting the plate on the draining board and walked back over, "I should get going now anyway."

"Buck, you don't have to!" Maddke said quickly, standing up to stand infront of her brother.

"Mads, I know your my big Sis and everything, but I'm 26. I'll be fine." Buck said, patting Maddie's shoulder and walked over to the main area, patting his pockets.

"Wallet and phone is on the shelf." Athena shouted in.

"Thanks." Buck said, grabbing his stuff and shoved them into his pocket.

"Wait, Buck." Maddie said desperately, "Why don't you come stay with me for a bit?"

"Mads. . ." Buck trailled of, actually debating the idea, "I'll think about it. Alright?"

"Promise?" Maddie asked, Buck smiling.

"Promise." Buck said, them connecting pinkies, before Buck kissed her head, "Thanks for letting me stay, Cap, Athena."
