Ok. I'm doing it. I'm just gonna make this up along the way. Also thanks for interacting. I've never had so many people read my stories.

————————————————————-

Beep. Beep. Beep.

I slowly blinked my eyes open a bright light shining above me. I groaned moving my head away from it.

I felt a a pressure on my lap and something in my hand. I looked down to see buck with his head in my lap and his hand in mine, sleeping.

"Good morning."

I looked to the door to see Bobby standing against the frame two cups of coffee in his hand.

"Is he ok?" I asked glancing down at buck rubbing my thumb along the back of his hand.

"He'll be better when he wakes up to see you, but let talk about how you're feeling." He set one coffee table cup on the table connected to my bed and sat in a chair on the opposite side of buck.

"I'm fine. Just tired. Does Chris know?" I felt buck nuzzle his head into my lap a little.

"Yeah, but he's fine. Just worried, I mean you have been in a medical induced coma for a couple days."

"What?" Coma? Days?

"Yeah. You hade some internal bleeding and there was some complications during the surgery, and you can figure out the rest."

"Oh." I blinked a couple times staring down at buck as I took in the information.

"You know I bet if I asked a nurse they would think you two are married." Cap chuckled as he leaded back in his chair sipping on his coffee.

"And why do you say that?" I raised an eyebrow at him. Cause what? I mean I wish. But what?

"Well considering he ended his relationship with Tommy by yelling 'you're not Eddie' while breaking down in his arms. He also hasn't left your side at all and has barely spoke to anyone."

"He and Tommy broke up?" I heard a scoff by the door as Maddie walked in.

"Of course that's all you get out of that." She pulled another chair next to Bobby. "Eddie. He was literally having a breakdown while pushing his boyfriend away from him screaming, word for word, 'you're not Eddie. I want Eddie.' He's in love you. He just doesn't know it yet."

"He's not in love with me." Come on! Like! Me! Him! In love with me! No way!

"Mmm." Buck groaned lifting his head up and rubbing his eyes. Never letting go of my hand.

"Morning sleepy head." I spoke softly admiring buck.

"Eddie!" He threw his self at me rapping his arms around me and putting a little bit of his wait on me.

"So oblivious." I heard Maddie whisper as I rapped my arms around buck just as tightly.

"You're awake." Buck spoke into my shoulder. I could feel a few tears fall on my neck

"Yeah." We sat like that for a little before he pulled back at Bobby clearing his throat.

"Just proving our point." Maddie laughed giving me a big sister look.

"What point?" Buck asked sitting down again, absentmindedly grabbing my hand.

"Your in love"
"Nothing"

Me and Maddie said at the same time. I rolled my eyes at her letting out a sigh.

"I mean maybe. I don't know." He started to trace shapes into the back of my hand.

"Who?" Maddie asked leaning in trying to pry the information out of him.

"Maddie. That's a question he can share on his own." Bobby said putting his hand on her shoulder as he stood up.

"Come on, let's go tell the other and find a nurse." Bobby and Maddie gave me a hug before leaving.

"So I heard you and Tommy broke up." Buck stiffened at that. "Hey. We don't have to talk about it."

"No. No, it's fine. He just- uh didn't like how I reacted to- uh something." He kept glancing up at me. "Oh sorry" he went to pull his hand away, i stopped him by holding on tighter.

"Hey. You don't have to hide anything from me. Bobby and Maddie already told me how you reacted to the news of my....situation"

He continued to avoid eye contact, staring at our connected hands.

"Buc-"

"I thought you weren't gonna wake up. I mean- I know the risks of a medical induced coma. You could have never woken up."(pulled that straight out of my ass)"I don't know what would have happened if I did lose you."

He started to tear up finally looking me in the eye. "Hey come here." I said pulling him into a hug he happily excepted.

We let go after a couple of minutes. He subtly wiped his eyes. Not really that subtly.

"Now. Tell me who you might be in love with. Was it Tommy?" Please not be Tommy! Please not be Tommy! Please not be-

"Oh no! Definitely not. He was kinda a dick." He let out a small laugh before continuing. "But uh it doesn't really matter who it is. They would never even be attracted to me."

"Oh come on. Someone not attracted to you?" I rolled my eyes. "What?" He asked sounding surprised.

"Buck. You have to be one of the best people I know. Both friendship and relationship wise. Your hot. Your nice. You're great with kids. I'm gonna guess your great in-"

"It's you." What?

"What?"

"I'm in love with you." He pulled his hand away from mine, fidgeting with his hands in his lap.

I just stared at him for a bit processing what he said. He in love with me. How? I mean I love him too. He amazing! But me? I'm a reck. I can barely take care of my kid.

"E-Eddie I'm sorry. We can just totally ignore what I just said and still be friends! or-or you can ignore me and I can move stations so you won't have to see me again-" oh shit.

"what? No! Buck I love you too! Like really love you I'm just confused."

"What? About what Eddie?"

"I mean how could you love me? Of all people!"
I let out a bitter laugh. "Like I'm a reck buck. I can barely take care of my own kid! Let alone myself"

"Eddie! You were grieving your dead wife. That's not your fault. And you have gotten therapy since, and I believe that you are a good dad. And I do love you Eddie! So much."

"I love you too."I grabbed his hand again pulling him into a a soft, passionate, tension releasing kiss.

"Oh! I guess I was right!" Maddie voice came from the door way. Buck jumped to a standing position next to my bed.

"Damn it. Could have waited till you got home." Chim said passing hen said money.

"What?"
"Did you bet on us?"

"Chim you should have known I would be in a hospital with how many life or death situations they're in."
