Carla's POV:

I pull into Eddie's driveway and park my car. I know it's Eddie's day off today but after the last few nights he has had that man needs a break. So, I figured I would surprise him and take Christopher to school. I showed up about 2 hours early to make them breakfast as well. I walked up to the door and saw it was still locked. Now where did I put my key? I think it is in my purse... there it is! I unlock the door as quietly as I can to not wake up anyone. Opening up the door I peek into the living room to see if Eddie slept on the couch again, as he has been doing every night since Buck got here. Although, the sight that sat in front of me was not one I was expecting.

It was Eddie sleeping on the couch still but not alone, there was Buck cuddled up right next to him. A smile was prominent on both boy's faces. Ooo Eddie is SO gonna explain this later. Maybe that boy finally got the courage and asked out Buck. I let the proud smile stay on my face as I walk into the kitchen and set down my purse and start prepping for breakfast.

About 10 minutes into working on the scrambled eggs I hear a gruff voice behind me, "Carla? What are you doing here?" It startled me and I ended up dropping the spatula onto the ground.

Carla: I make my voice a whisper yell as to not wake up Chris and Buck. Eddie! You scared the living daylights out of me.

Eddie: He bends down and grabs the spatula for me. Sorry about that. I'm just surprised that you're here. Today is my day off.

Carla: Well, I know that the last few nights were ruff regarding Buck, so I wanted to surprise you by making breakfast and taking Chris to school. I pause for a few seconds before I give Eddie a smirk and cross my arms. Speaking of Buck.

Eddie: His face turns bright red, and he stumbles on his words. I-it was nothing. No feelings involved or anything.

Carla: I thought you finally gained the balls and asked that boy out. I go back to cooking my eggs a little disappointed. Plus, from what I saw, there were definitely feelings involved... from both of you.

Eddie: He walks closer to me and lowers his voice. Buck is my best friend. He is straight and would never like me, okay Carla?

Carla: I throw my hands up in surrender. Okay, but those heart eyes that boy gives you says differently.

?: Carlaaaaa! A voice appeared causing us both to turn our heads.

Eddie: Hey Chris. Why don't we lower our voices to let Buck sleep.

Christopher: Sorry dad. He walks over to me and gives me a big hug.

Carla: Hey Christopher! I gladly return his hug.

We all hang out in the kitchen and talk, keeping our voices down worried about waking Buck, while I continue to cook. I finish up breakfast and Eddie goes to wake up Buck so he can have the meal with us. After 5 minutes and no return, I decided to go and check on him, having Chris stay in the kitchen just in case something bad happened. I walk into the living room to see Eddie, heart eyes and a warm smile, standing there just looking at the still sleeping Buck on the couch. I look over to Buck to see him holding a shirt close to him as he sleeps.

Come to think of it, Eddie is in a different shirt from when I walked in seeing him asleep. I give Eddie that "Know it all" look and he gives me a playful glare. I walk back into the kitchen to let Eddie have his moment with his future husband.

Christopher: Hey Carla, what were you and dad talking about before I walked in?

Carla: Oh, it was nothing, just about your dad's work honey.

Christopher: he looks at me, his usual visible smile barely visible, trying to stay serious. Carla, I heard what you and dad were talking about. You guys were talking about Buck. About dad having feelings for Buck, and Buck having feelings for dad. His smile grows large. Is buck going to be my other dad!? Are my dad and Buck dating?!

Carla: My eyes widened, and I let out a laugh. Unfortunately, they are not dating Chris.

Christopher: He frowns. But I need this to happen.

Carla: I know, me too.

Just then Buck and Eddie walked in, well more like Buck being carried by Eddie. Eddie speaks up "Carla will you grab Buck's pain meds? His leg is hurting him." I nodded and rushed to grab them. I give them to Buck, and we all sit down and enjoy our meal. Me and Chirstopher say goodbye to Eddie and Buck and walk out.

Christopher: We need to make them happen Carla. He gives me a smirk.

Carla: Yeah, we can create a plan after school.
