Buddie - Omegaverse

Part 17

Mucking around with Hen Buck brought up how he must have caught a stomach bug as it was the right time of year. Being the nice friend she is offered to fuck around with the new ultrasound machine in the back of the ambulance, "I know cool right!" Hen exclaimed after excitedly telling Buck, "May I say Buck you have a nice bladder," the two laughed waving the stick around Buck's stomach, "Hey go back did you hear that?" Buck ordered pushing Hen's hand back, "Oh my god Buck thats a fucking foetus," Hen exclaimed, Buck was froze, "Did you know you are pregnant?" "No we were trying but we hadn't taken a test in months." Hen pulled him into a hug, "You can tell Eddie in the morning," he smiled looking up at Hen with puppy eyes.

Except when morning came it came with new anxieties and the reveal was delayed further. The afternoon brought the spook of the bells sounding.

Prison riot hooray, Eddie was confused why Hen was so protective over his mate and therefore was determined to protect what is his. Hen smirked briefly knowing what she knows. Even with guard escort the crew were nervous, for many Buck was the first omega they had seen for a long time and those prisoners recaptured were pounding at the cells to even get a scent of Buck. "Eddie, Eddie please stay close," Buck begged, the sudden urge to crawl into Eddie's skin was overwhelming.

"Buck how far away are we?" Eddie shouted through, "Not much longer, Eddie? Eddie?" He couldn't see the gun to Eddie's face, "That won't be necessary, kill the lights and sirens," "Eddie?" "Buck do it," the had guns in there faces. Buck kept shooting worrying glances at Eddie as he remained stoic while being searched, "Firefighters Diaz and Buckley-Diaz, do you two have a common parent?" Mitchell pulled out Eddie's wallet, why did he have to leave the photo of Buck and Christopher in there, "These two are a thing should have known," Buck used it as an excuse to get closer to Eddie. A hunt through Buck's wallet revealed an ultrasound strip, "Who's baby?" Eddie darted his eyes to Buck, "I was going to tell you tonight, Hen and I were mucking around last night when we couldn't sleep," "Yeah yeah sad stories later get in the ambulance," Mitchell ordered.

Buck tried to remain professional but he really needed Eddie right now, even if it was just pressing there legs together. Mitchell forced Buck out of the ambulance with the prison guard who was genuinely injured, he tried to resist but Eddie watched the escapee whisper something to Buck while grabbing his hair. Buck was scared into compliance as after all having a gun pressed against his stomach did the trick. Buck rushed into the A&E but was surprised to find it dark. Police pounced on him till Athena shouted that he was in the clear, "Buck, baby you alright?" "Eddie's still in the ambulance with Mitchell how did you know he'd come here?" "His son's here his ex girlfriend won't let him see him," tears spilled from his eyes and Athena quickly wiped them away, "Buck this isn't like you honey," she announced cupping his face, "Mum I'm pregnant," "Well in that case that Mitchell better not touch a hair on my son in laws head," Athena snapped wrapping her arms around her boy.

Buck anxiously paced A&E spinning the pen between his fingers waiting for anything to happen; hearing that gunshot sent him into full panic mode. Without thinking for himself or his own safety, his reaction was to just run, run outside and to Eddie's aid. Athena caught on quick rushing out behind him, "Buck get a gurney!" "Eddie, he's dead?" Buck questioned incredibly confused as to why he was doing CPR on Mitchell, "His heart isn't."

"Mitchell staged the riot so he could kill himself and give his son his heart?" Buck asked confused, Eddie was stood next to him washing the blood away, "Yep," "Why couldn't he go through the courts?" Thats when Athena stepped in, "Because he was on death row, he couldn't," "Surely reducing his sentence to a life sentence would have allowed it," Buck offered, "I wish the world thought like you did baby," Athena patter his head, "So bad but so good at the same time." Eddie interjected interlocking his hand in Buck's, Buck moved their hands to his belly.

Eddie's seen people get shot before. He was in the army and was awarded a silver star but never someone right in front of him. As he scrubbed each finger cleaned with blood he couldn't help thinking about the world they were bringing their baby into. Did Buck tell anyone about the baby? Surely the last few hours would not have been good for the baby? Conveniently not mentioning his pregnancy to anyone meant that Buck flew under the radar, Athena knew yes but she didn't have chance to tell anyone now did she? Buck was determined to stay at Eddie's side. He had spent the most time with Mitchell, discussing what he won't ask.

Eddie hugged Buck as a response to his nervous shaking, "Oh god the baby, is the baby okay?!" Eddie panicked frantically moving to hold Buck's face and belly, "I'm fine they should be to," those baby blue eyes could lull anyone into a false security, Eddie's not falling for it, "Can we check?" "We can check, excuse me nurse," Buck was sat down promptly and several blood tests done as well as an ultrasound, "Heartbeats a little fast but given today it is acceptable, you are about 5 weeks along in a healthy omega pregnancy," "That's a relief," Eddie smiled rubbing Buck's belly it was small but hard an indicate as the babies presence. "I told my mum in the A&E," Buck whispered, "How did she take it," "She said quote 'in that case that Mitchell better not touch a hair on my son in laws head' son in law being you," Eddie picked Buck up and spun him around as they walked back over to the fire engine, they wouldn't tell anyone else just yet.

The drive back to the station was silent, the air thick with tension. Hen moved to sit next to Chimney so the usually separated lovers could sit next to each other. Despite wearing seatbelts Buck was smothered in Eddie's arms, his head resting against his chest, Eddie was quietly taking a quick power nap his arms limp. "Eddie can you see if you can wake him?" Bobby asked, he leaned back and stroked the young mans head, "He's tired Bobby let him rest," Eddie smiled. Safe in the knowledge of the baby in there arms.
