Tarlos Headcanon

So my headcanon is that next next season when tarlos have married, Carlos is on a call at some house. Not sure what situation it is, but it’s bad. Carlos notices a 3 year-old boy hiding under the bed and manages to lure him out. Somehow, the boy is orphaned and Carlos and TK take the boy in.

He’s a funny little boy with curly hair like Carlos and reminds them of a puppy when he’s confused. He can talk, however they have a hard time understanding him as he pronounces his “F” sounds as “B” sounds and “C” sounds as “T” sounds. He’s a picky eater ‘cause he only wants chicken nuggets. TK shouts in victory when he finally gets him to eat spaghetti or beans. Carlos struggles getting him to take a nap but this little boy is stubborn. They’re both ecstatic when he starts calling them Daddy and Papa.

Then, they officially adopt him as their son.

hopefully, we get to see Carlos and TK as parents soon. 🥹🥹🥹🥹

Headcanon: the Tarlos break-up fight was a prolonged version of the dinner scene, with Carlos not hearing what TK was saying and TK storming out because they were not on the same page

You know what? That’s exactly it.

Carlos brought TK to the loft, said, “It’s ours!” and TK’s hackles immediately went up. He dug his heels into the ground and told Carlos that it wasn’t going to work like this, that this is something they should’ve talked about, and Carlos just cannot see why it’s such a big deal. They were looking for a home together, why is it such a fiasco to opt for buying the place they loved so much when the initial idea was to rent their next place?

And TK who, as much as I love him, has a tough time getting his point across without getting heated, didn’t fully explain it properly, right? Carlos tries to reason with him but TK continues to get more and more defensive until, “You’re not hearing me!” gets shouted and after a long, quiet moment he says, “This isn’t going to work. I can’t do this,” and walks out.

And Carlos is left not getting it, because while he doesn’t communicate the best either (though he’s learning, as we’ve seen), just stands there so confused.

No, he didn’t hear TK, but that doesn’t mean that TK didn’t explain himself well either.

These two just couldn’t get to a civil point to hash it out, and it ended in heartbreak.

hey look! i made a tarlos banner! they're so precious and in love im going to be sick (affectionate)

also, thanks to @lemonlyman-dotcom @im-overstimulated-and-im-sad @actualalligator for the tease tidbit tuesday tags, this is me tagging you back if you'd like to share again!! :)

i took a sharp turn from my angsty season 1 tk fic to writing domestic married fluff. <33

this is unedited and ill probably add to this scene. but have a very rough draft friends!!

Carlos was sitting on the couch, reading his romance novel, legs crossed, wearing just a pair of grey jogger sweatpants, with no shirt, glistening, clearly having finished working out not long ago. As he heard the door sliding on the track, Carlos placed his bookmark to save his place and got up to greet his husband.

“Hi, sweetheart, how was your day?” Carlos kissed his husband’s cheek.

TK shrugged, “It was all right. I’m just tired.”

“Are you hungry? Do you want dinner?” Carlos asked.

“Eh not yet. I just want to relax with you.” TK placed a hand on each of Carlos’s cheeks and brought him in for a kiss. “I missed you.”

“You saw me this morning, but I missed you too.” Carlos took TK's hands and intertwined their fingers and led him to the couch. Carlos laid down first and TK crawled on top of him, laid his head on Carlos’s bare chest and nuzzled in, shortly after fading into slumber.

[eclectic-sassycoweyes]

Been thinking a lot about not only TK using Carlos’ bicep as his personal ‘emotional support bicep’ which 🥹🥹🥹 - also thank you and creds to @paperstorm for making the huge contribution to the whole entire fandom with this description -

But, also about the whole thing from Carlos’ perspective and how Carlos reacts to it, and feels about it, makes my stomach do a little swoop every time I come across a gif from either the wedding ep or the scene where they’re waiting for news on Marjan

Like, I’m thinking about semi-lonely, tense pre- and during season 1 Carlos needing someone, not just to love and be loved by but to take care of and hold and be there for🥺 Like we all know Carlos must work a lot to maintain those biceps and of course this is probably for his own sake bc he likes them, and to be good at his job etc but,,

He’s obviously gotten some attention from it, guys who finds him sexy and maybe likes a little power play

And he can appreciate that especially when ‘guys’ are in fact TK who enjoys it and wants him to use his strength a little bit to press his hands into the mattress above his head: (🔥)

Or to ‘twist his arm’ 😏😏

But more than that S1 Carlos longed for his body (huge bicep) to be appreciated in different ways. To be the one that someone (TK) needed to be held by, to be the shoulder (bicep) that someone (TK) could cry on, and lean on (both figuratively:

And literally:

- He needed to be that for someone (TK), to take on that role in a healthy, loving relationship. And he certainly got that from TK. But he got even more than that, more than he could have dreamed of, bc with TK he’s also become a shoulder (bicep) to sleep on:

Not just in the domestic privacy of their own home, but in public, among a wonderful new group of friends and family:

As well as a shoulder (bicep) to both lean on and rub their thumb back and forth on for self soothing:

In short, that work paid off exponentially as he got to be someone’s (TK’s) ‘emotional support bicep’. 🥲

And what completely gets me is the way he’s so casual about it in this last one. Like I imagined the first couple of times Carlos in his head would have been like ‘oh, okay, my bicep is now your pillow, I see, I’ll stay as still as possible or react in some way like by kissing your hair or something or move so you’re more comfortable’, and ‘oh okay, you’re not letting go, you really must love that bicep, I’ll buy a permanent gym membership and think of that ever time I work out, this bicep shall be forever dedicated to your needs’ while in his head being all 😳🫠🥰😌🥹🥹🥰

But now he barely reacts, it’s so natural. He just barely registers that ‘oh, my adorable, emotional boyfriend (husband😭) (TK who I know in and out and who know me the same way😭) is (once again/per usual😭) reserving my bicep for emotional support reasons while he cries on me, imma let him do his thing while I grab his ankle, both to comfort TK,’ - but also bc while TK needs to physically lean on someone (Carlos) when he’s emotional (or sleepy, or just, it’s right there anyway), what Carlos needs it something (someone) (TK) to hold on to, to tether himself to bc it’s overwhelming for him to lose control of his emotions.

And TK is the perfect rock for him because he’s not only so open about his emotions, and an adorable kitten boyfriend (husband), but because he’s also and at the same time incredibly strong and prepared to catch Carlos at any time😭

The naturalness of it all just says so much about how long they’ve been together and built their relationship, how well they know and how comfortable they are with each other and how they’re perfect for each other and fit together like two pieces of a puzzle! There are some thoughts here about different kinds and ways of embodying ‘masculinity’ and vulnerability but I’m not nearly eloquent enough rn to go into that..

Anyway, with TK, Carlos, now without even giving it a second thought, has gotten the relationship he dreamed of and more, has gotten exactly the appreciation for his strength and body (biceps) that S1 Carlos longed for and worked so hard for, and gets to take on the role in his relationship that he needs and be who he always were and I’m just 😭🥹🥹🥰🥰🫠 slowly melting away over it.

You would find these two slow dancing to Lover, shaking things off, screaming to Ready For it, damp-eyed at Anti-Hero and letting their Bejeweled. Also, TK clearly talked Carlos into both Taylor Swift and into the outfit and he has a billion photos on his phone of Carlos in it.

[rosedavid]

Okay but what if instead of having children, TK and Carlos become Animal People. It was only a matter of time, what with TK's adoration of all animals. And Carlos had always enjoyed most animals (not the the degree of TK and his bringing home a flesh eating lizard, but still). Of course, it began with Lou II, but overtime, and often unintentionally, they began gathering more and more pets.

Most of them were TK’s fault. There was that stray kitten TK found trapped in a gutter on a call who he couldn't bear to part with. And TK finds an injured bird outside that he insists they nurse back to health and release. But then, there's an old police dog who needs rehoming and Carlos has always wanted a dog, so they gain yet another furry friend.

Eventually, they have to leave the loft because their lease doesn't allow for all of them, and as hard as TK tries, he can’t pass off a cat and a German Shepherd as the same pet.

And once they get more space, along with all the animals they adopt over the years, they also foster and take-in animals in need when they can. Carlos makes TK promise not to adopt any stray they foster (he breaks that promise immediately). Still, they do have animals come and go. They even foster a snake for a brief period of time which Carlos refuses to be within a few feet of.

And soon they have this little family, maybe not in the conventional way, but they are both dads to plenty of pets who they treat like children anyway.

#I still haven’t decided if I like them having kids but either way #they are 100% adopting animals okay #911 ls #911 lone star #tarlos #Lou II was only the beginning #my headcanons

just a lil thought

whenever Carlos is cooking dinner, tk will sneak up behind him and just hold him and kiss his neck while simultaneously getting underfoot

I adore the everloving fuck out of the proposal scene in 3×18 buuut, it would've been hilarious if, when T.K says "I'll just leave everything to my husband", Carlos had responded with "Wait you're married too?" And the season ends with it cutting to black there. Now that I typed this out doesn’t seem that funny but yeah.

Happy New Year everybody and thank you for the tag @strandnreyes and @chicgeekgirl89 🩷 One more Seven Sentence Sunday for the 2023 road! Anyone else having a cosy NYE at home?

Chapter 8: Your Heart, As If It Was My Very Own of Where All This Love Comes From is now up on Ao3, so this is from Chapter 9: Coffee with Gutiérrez.

“Gabriel didn’t understand how people can play for the other team. He also loved you. Both things can be true, even if it’s confusing. From my point of view, I say live-and-let-live and fly the flag, power to the people, whatever. But then, I also slept with a guy in college.”

“You did?” Carlos leans forward, keen for all the information.

“He looked like River Phoenix. I pretty much cartwheel up and down the Kinsey Scale.” Gutiérrez wafts a hand back and forth, as if to represent a laid-back flipflop of sexuality. “I met my ex-wife a few weeks later, and that was that.”

“Fair enough,” Carlos says as he goes to take another sip of coffee.

“So, I’m open minded. And that’s what your dad did – he talked to people who were open minded. I guess, bit by bit, by the time you met your husband, he was feeling better about it all. The fact that he wasn’t seeking an echo chamber should mean something to you.

headcanons as well friend! (anyone you want, whoever first comes to mind)

Sleep

TK can and does fall asleep anywhere - call it the product of a life spent in a firehouse when you learn to sleep when you can. He doesn't always stay asleep - has insomnia that comes in cycles - but he naps to make up for it.

Carlos, on the other hand, does not nap. He does not sleep well anywhere that is not his own bed. He needs the blackout shades drawn, and before TK started sleeping over he needed a white noise machine - now he uses the soft sounds of TK sleeping next to him, and sleeps worse on nights when TK's not there because he has a shift. He spends money on soft sheets, and cozy blankets, and likes to make a nest to curl up in before he can really drift off.

They both sleep better with each other now than alone. It had taken Carlos a while to learn to how adjust to the sounds of another person next to him, the way the bed dips with TK's weight, the way TK is restless in sleep. But he misses it now when TK's not there - misses the way TK always reaches out for him, the way TK always seeks contact.

TK's slept with boyfriends before, stayed the night before, had long term sleepover kind of relationships, but nobody's ever made him feel as safe as Carlos. Nobody's ever wanted to let him be the big spoon.

Hi.

So, I am thinking about writing a 911 Lone Star fan-fiction. Instead of taking place and starting in 2020, it would start in 2010 with Owen moving Tk to Texas as he is starting high school and is fourteen or fifteen. Owen is still creating a new firehouse and such.

It doesn’t actually say what year Tk was actually born so I going to play with it and I was ninth grade in 2010 so, maybe it is also me wanting to project. It is said he was born December of 1993, 1994, 1995 or 1996. Would people enjoy reading this kind of fan-fiction?

Also, I will try to update manic pixie dream prince my Stranger Things byler omega-verse fan-fiction before the new year. This past year was really hard, I fell into a long depression and been going through a quarter life crises. I found out along with my adhd, I have anxiety and depression. I am starting to get better and get my life back on track and that includes getting back into my hobbies.

If anyone wants to send me their omega-verse head-canons or questions about Stranger Things or 911 or 911 Lone Star or prompts I would be happy to read them and responded. Also if you have prompts or head-canons or questions about 911 and 911 Lone Star in the 2000s and 2010s I would be happy to read them and responded.

TK brought home tacos from their favorite food truck that’s close to their loft. Tacos were a comfort food to Carlos, and comfort food was exactly what Carlos needed tonight. Carlos loved cooking, but he’d really fallen out of it lately, so they’ve been relying on take-out when TK worked long shifts, eating at the firehouse, or TK cooking on his days off. TK could cook but he wasn’t anywhere near as good at it as Carlos or Paul was. They were both exhausted today, so tacos it was.

“Hi, Baby, I brought tacos,” TK set his keys down and greeted his husband.

“Oh, good, I’m starving,” Carlos responded flatly.

“Did you eat at all today?”

Carlos looked down at the floor, “No… But I did shower and nap a little, without a nightmare, I’d say that’s progress.”

TK gave him a tight hug, “That’s amazing, babe. Small steps, remember.” He kissed Carlos and ran his fingers through his hair. “I’m proud of you every day. Let’s eat.”

Tarlos headcannons pt. 3

-When Carlos was 16, his appendix ruptured after a week of pushing himself to go to school with a ‘stomach bug’. He spent two weeks in the hospital, and scared his parents sick. Andrea told TK this story after he woke up from his coma, and all he could think was ‘that explains the scar there’.

-When TK is nervous around Carlos, he’ll fiddle with Carlos’ fingers, running fingers up and down them etc. Carlos thinks it’s sweet, and has been able to easily pick up when he’s nervous. He just sticks his hand out subtly for TK.

-Andrea absolutely adores TK. Every time She calls or Carlos calls, she’ll always ask how TK is, sometimes before she asks how Carlos is. Carlos jokes about how she’s got a new favourite son.

-Carlos is a huge great british bake off fan, and immediately gets TK obsessed with the show.

-Andrea did wind up having a very serious conversation to TK over breaking up with Carlos. After the conversation ended, Carlos whispered to TK ‘I’ve never heard her so mad before’.

-Carlos has the world worst hay fever.

-TK could barely remember his own phone number, but knows Carlos’ off by heart.

-Carlos is a mitski fan. He also listens to a lot of Hozier.

-TK blushes easily. Like a teenager in their first relationship. Carlos recorded a show he very briefly mentioned so he wouldn’t miss it? Bright red. Carlos made him a cup of coffee without asking? Flushed for an hour. Carlos randomly bought him something? Never forgets it. Carlos compliments him? Flustered, extremely flustered. People think Carlos is doing this on purpose, but Carlos doesnt realise he doesn’t have to try.

-Carlos can be completely oblivious. One time, Carlos was grocery shopping with TK, and a women started subtly flirting with Carlos. TK noticed immediately and made it very obvious who he was to Carlos without saying it. As she walked away, TK pointed it out to Carlos and all Carlos had to say was ‘i thought she was being nice,’. 

-TK was a theatre kid in high school. Carlos was on the football team.

-Carlos doesn’t know how to use emojis. He texts like an old man.

-TK is a huge Pixar fan. His favourite Pixar movie is Ratatouille.

-Carlos bruises super easy. He’s absolutely covered in bruises, just all over. Loads on his shin. TK comments about the possibility of Carlos having an iron deficiency, cause no normal person should bruise this easy. But after a blood test, turns out he doesn’t. Still a mystery to this day.

-Despite being a paramedic, TK has a crippling fear of other people being sick. Like throwing up. He’s fine (as fine as one person could be) when he’s sick, but can’t do it with other people. Gets incredibly tense and anxious. When Carlos caught a horrible flu for the first time with TK in his life, it was a slight disaster. TK wanted and was very determined to look after Carlos. But when one of his new symptoms was not being able to keep anything down, it became a little harder from him to stay focused.

-Carlos was pretty short for all of middle school, but during the summer before high school, he had a very sudden and huge growth spurt. Like almost an entire foot sort of spurt.

-TK was a massive one direction fan, whilst they were band. But if you ask him now, he’d deny it.

-Carlos has incredibly sensitive hearing. Can’t not stand loud noises. Terrified of fireworks, likes the concept of concerts, can’t actually go to them.

-TK’s phone is literally never charged. But always has enough battery to answer Carlos. Drives the team insane.

-TK had a adult onset allergy to pineapple. He would eat loads as a kid. Always in his lunch box, gallons of pineapple and tropical juice in the fridge, loves pineapple sweets. So when he has a horrible reaction to eating pineapple, it really threw him through a loop.

-When TK moves to Texas, that’s when he learns how easily he burns. Carlos just tans, TK is extremely jealous.

-TK s is left handed. Carlos is right handed. So Carlos will hold TK’s right hand, so he can use his left hand.

ൠ for tarlos?

thank you!!

Growing up, Andrea taught all of her kids how to knit. For Carlos, it became a way to soothe his anxiety, although he never really had a reason to knit; there's not much need for warm, knitted things in Austin, Texas. Plus, Carlos has always run hot, so most of the stuff he would knit just ended up in the back of a closet.

But after TK falls through the ice, he's always cold, and Carlos decides it's the perfect excuse to start knitting again (or keep knitting, because he also got back into it during their breakup as a distraction).

The first thing he knits TK is a pair of warm socks because TK's feet are fucking freezing in bed. And TK of course loves them so much, and that's just the beginning. Over the years, Carlos knits TK a bunch of stuff - from socks to sweaters to blankets. TK has as much warm, knitted wear as you'd expect from someone living in the snow and cold. Somedays, Carlos will come home to find TK on the sofa, bundled up in all of his knitted wear looking absolutely adorable. They quickly become some of TK's favorite comfort items.

[menace-behaviour]

It's here. The highly requested fic from this post .

---

Let me know what you think :)

---

The Husbandification of Evan Buckley - Part 1

- 1678 words-

---

5 times they were called husbands, 1 time they were husbands.

---

Eddie Diaz is an intelligent man. A bit slow, sometimes, when it comes to feelings, but he did spend his whole life, until very recently, repressing those troublesome feelings so he gets a pass on this one. Evan Buckley is also an intelligent man. However, Buck prefers to experience his feelings as quickly as possible; imagine a golden retriever on a skateboard hurtling towards heartbreak.

Neither of these men are stupid, but they are a bit dumb, sometimes.

1. Isabel “Abuela” Diaz

Isabel Diaz is very proud of her favorite grandson, for many reasons. When Eddie moved to Los Angeles with Christopher, she was worried as any grandparent would be, but it did not stop her pride from growing.

Many things happened between then and now, and Isabel has never been prouder of her Edmundo, even if she wasn’t invited to his and Buck’s wedding. She understands, of course, but it would have been nice to know about it.

A truck pulls into the driveway and the dulcet tones of an 11-year-old, and a set of crutches meet Isabel at the door.

She opens the door to the smiling face of Christopher Diaz, who is too adorable for his own good, and he knows it.

“Good morning, Bisabuela,” Christopher greets as Isabel hugs him. The reminder that she is a great-grandmother is already forgiven and forgotten by the time Eddie makes his way to the front door.

“Morning, Abuela,” says Eddie as he kisses his grandmother’s cheek. He looks exhausted, but 24 hours of firefighting would do that, Isabel supposes.

After situating Christopher with his homework at Isabel’s dining table, Eddie prepares to leave to get some sleep. He has registered very few words, if any, this morning but he registers a real gem from his Abuela.

“You should bring your husband with you when you pick Christopher up. I want to show him how to make pozole,” Abuela states, as if that is a completely normal sentence. Eddie thought he had been careful in not making his relationship with Buck obvious, but Abuela knows, apparently.

Another detail clicks for Eddie.

“The same pozole recipe you refuse to give to my mother?” Eddie questions. Isabel lifts her chin to look at her grandson and raises her brow, in challenge.

“Your husband can cook. Your mother cannot,” Isabel reasons. The use of the word ‘husband’ finally registers with Eddie, so now he has to deal with that.

“Buck and I aren’t married, Abuela,” Eddie sighs.

“Oh? Then how did you know I was talking about your Buck when I didn’t say his name, hm? Don’t lie to me again, or I’ll tell your husband,” Isabel challenges.

As said before, Eddie is an intelligent man, and he knows when he has lost. Eddie hugs his Abuela and makes an exit before he digs himself into a bigger hole.

2. Tyler-Kennedy “TK” Strand

So maybe TK made some assumptions. Some very wrong assumptions. In TK’s defense, he wasn’t aware of the context.

The context being that Buck was obviously married to Eddie and, based on the sight of a pair of red Converse sneakers much too small for either of them on the floor in Buck’s Jeep, they had a kid, too. Buck was, definitely, not hitting on him in Texas. TK has decided to leave the detective work to his fiancé.

Oh, yes. Haven’t you heard? One wedding, coming right up. That is partly why Carlos and TK are in LA, to begin with. Other than to catch up with the wildfire squad, obviously.

Their first stop was always going to be Station 118 for a reunion, meeting some new faces and sharing their engagement. What they didn’t expect was a child, looking a lot like Eddie, to also be there.

Well, one mystery is solved then, even if TK is still very much confused.

“Buck!”, the kid calls, happily, from a couch to the right of the stairs, a pair of red crutches next to him.

“Christopher!”, Buck responds and takes the last three stairs in one bound to hurry over. “These are my friends from Texas, TK and Carlos,” Buck introduces from where he is now seated next to Christopher. Christopher uses this opportunity to do some of his own detective work.

“Are you married?” Christopher asks.

“Not yet,” Carlos avoids.

“So, you’re engaged?” Christopher pushes lightly, in a way only children can.

“Buckley, how is your kid so smart?” TK redirects. Buck grins widely while looking at Christopher.

“That’s all Eddie, playing Clue against them is a nightmare,” Buck says, mock-exhaustively.

“I can imagine. Where is your husband, by the way? Is he on shift today?” TK asks. Buck blinks for a second before preparing to respond. He is interrupted by the return of Truck and Ambulance 118 and an enthusiastic reunion.

3. Judson “Judd” Ryder

Judd is on the brink of insanity. He loves TK like a brother but, by God, if he must spend one more minute on Google trying to find this one specific brand of wine, that is only bottled and sold in Los Angeles, for his and Carlos’ wedding, Judd’s brain will stop responding.

Judd does something he probably should have started with. He calls Hollywood.

Eddie answers his call with a slightly confused greeting. Judd understands the feeling.

“Hey, Diaz. I need to talk to your husband.” Judd is beyond politeness, at this point, but its Diaz, so he’s not worried.

“He’s not my husband, Judd,” Eddie says, purposefully leaving out an acknowledgement of the engagement ring on his finger.

“And whose fault is that, Hollywood? Not mine, that’s for sure. Now pass the phone one foot to your left, I know he’s standing there,” Judd accuses.

Eddie decides Judd doesn’t need to know he was right.

“It’s for you,” Eddie hands his phone to Buck. For the record, Buck was standing in front of him.

4. Adriana & Sophia Diaz

It is a sister’s civic duty to bully her brother. Especially when one of your sisters is just minding her business on Instagram and her brother posts a story. To be honest, Sophia didn’t even think Eddie knew how to do that.

Her assumption was confirmed just as quickly as it was challenged when the story turned out to be a photo of her brother sleeping. The photo itself is not particularly interesting, if not for the gold ring on Eddie’s finger.

Sophia likes to think she knows her brother well, and part of knowing her brother is knowing that he has only ever worn two pieces of jewellery; his silver wedding ring and the St. Christopher’s medal around his neck.

Sophia has decided to take this opportunity to collect reinforcements (read also: Adriana) and ambush her brother over Facetime. What else are sisters for?

“Um, hi,” answered a familiar face, but still not Eddie. Huh, funny. Sophia was pretty sure she called Eddie’s phone.

“Hello, Buck. What a coincidence, we had a question you can help us with actually,” Sophia began. Buck looked confused but Sophia knows it’s a sham.

“Yeah, what’s up with the ring on Eddie’s finger?” Adriana asks, with determination. Buck’s wide eyes and slightly open mouth are very quickly replaced with Eddie’s ‘It’s none of your business’ face.

“What do you want? Did you run out of gossip in all of Texas?” asked Eddie fondly, but exasperated. To be fair, he probably should have expected this at some point.

“Hey, Eddie. We were just calling to find out who put that ring on your finger, but your husband already answered that,” Sophia explained brightly. Eddie rolls his eyes, but his protest ended there.

“The invitations are in the mail; we’ll see you out here in April,” Eddie says before hanging up.

5. Robert “Bobby” Nash

For a long time, Bobby thought he would never see the weddings of his children. What he failed to consider was the adoptability of one (1) Evan Buckley.

And so, here Bobby stands in the doorway of his office, trying not to cry. The firehouse is ready for a wedding and Buck needs help with his tie. At least this part is familiar.

“Need a hand?” Bobby offers. Buck turns around quickly, as if he had forgotten he wasn’t alone and smiles appreciatively at Bobby. “Maddie said you needed some help, and she was a little busy wrangling Jee-Yun into some shoes,” he clarifies. A familiar scene plays out then; Bobby standing behind Buck to fix his tie, and Buck realizing again that real family are the ones that would help you with a tie (or throwing a wedding in a firehouse).

“There we go. Perfect. Are you ready to see your husband?” Bobby asks as he finishes with Buck’s tie. Buck rolls his eyes, as if he hates the ‘dad-ness’ of the question.

“He’s not my husband yet,” Buck replies.

“As soon as you walk out that door and turn left, we can fix that,” Bobby counters.

“9-1-1. What is your emergency?”

“Hi, yeah, I think I’m in labor?”

-

The 118 arrive to a small suburban duplex to find a very pregnant woman pacing the sidewalk. It takes some convincing before she agrees to stop pacing, then some more convincing to sit down. Hen and Chimney decide it would be best to transport her to the hospital, just to be safe. In this time, Buck and Eddie have readied the gurney when the woman notices their uniforms. More specifically, their surname patches, both reading “DIAZ”.

“You don’t really look like a ‘Diaz’,” she wonders aloud at Buck. Buck doesn’t take offense at this, the woman is in labor, above all, and he looks like he could become invisible in a snowstorm, he gets it.

“That would be because I took my husband’s last name,” Buck explained, gesturing vaguely at Eddie, both smiling gently. Her gaze shifts to Eddie, then she turns her attention back to Buck.

“Damn, that’s your husband?” she asks Buck, looking impressed when she receives a nod. “Is he single?”
