Chapter 14: Surgery Day

! TW! There is a slight mention of surgery in this chapter!! If that bothers you, please skip!! 

Eddie's POV:

It has officially been 2 weeks since Buck was released from the hospital. Today is Buck's surgery to remove all that medal from his leg. Buck's check in time isn't until 1 this afternoon so we decided to enjoy our day before Buck would be stuck in the hospital for however long they plan to keep him in that place. We start off by taking Christopher to school, Buck seemed to enjoy it. He didn't want to leave until he knew that boy was fully in the school. We decided to stop by a nice little restaurant place to get some well-deserved breakfast. After we are done eating, we both go back to my Truck.

Eddie: Alright, since it's only 8:30 what shall we do to pass the time?

Buck: He pauses and thinks for a minute. Well do you know who all is on shift at the firehouse today?

Eddie: Bobby and Hen I believe.

Buck: Do we want to go and visit them for a few? I mean we are only like a 5-minute drive from the house.

Eddie: I let out my best Mario voice. Well then let's-a-go Buckaroo.

We both laugh as I pull out of the parking lot and make our way towards the firehouse. I sent Bobby a quick message giving him a heads up and he said it was all good as it was a slow day anyways. They are still scared to use that "quiet" word. We pull into my normal parking spot and walk into the fire house. Buck has a big smile on his face and yells throughout the place, "I'M HOME". I couldn't help but smile at his usual Buck shenanigans.

We sat down upstairs for a little while just visiting with the team. We mostly informed Buck of some of the calls we have been getting. He would bud in every now and then leaving little jokes or putting in his input. We sat and talked for about an hour and a half before the bell went off and everyone left. Me and Buck were left sitting there. We decided to go and sit at the park and just sit down and talk. I was thinking about the day Buck fell asleep with me on the couch and how it hasn't even been mentioned between us.

When that happened, I thought there was something there but seeing as how Buck doesn't talk about it sorta hurts. I push that thought as my heart stings. We both got caught up in conversation and before we knew it, it was already 12:30.

Eddie: Shit we should probably get going. I'm sure traffic is going to suck on the way to the hospital.

Buck: Awww shucks. I was enjoying sitting here with you. He gives me a small frown and my heart flutters at what he said.

Eddie: Alright Buck let's get you there, the sooner you're there the sooner you can come home.

We arrived at the hospital and got Buck checked in and settled ourselves in the room. I will be staying with Buck in the hospital, as per his request. Maddie was originally going to be the one to stay up here but Buck insisted I did. I mean I'm not complaining though, I really wanted to stay with him anyway. Christopher will be joining us after school today. I have already requested tomorrow off for Chris so he can spend time with his Buck.

Nurse. Ayden Allenson: Well hello Evan, long time no see. Let me-

Buck: He puts his hand up and interrupts her. Please, if we are going to keep seeing each other like this, call me Buck, it's what everyone calls me.

Nurse. Ayden Allenson: Well, okay, Buck, let me explain the plan we have for you today. So, we are prepping the O.R. right now for the surgery. We will start with removing the screws and then the rod. It is an easy surgery and complications are very low. You also will be having some of our most skilled surgeons doing this. We will keep you here overnight to ensure that everything goes well, and if it does, we will release you tomorrow afternoon. She smiles.
