Chapter 3: Breathless Highs and Bloody Lows 
Eddie hugged his pup close and scented him. It had been the longest he’d been away from Christopher in years. 
“Dad,” Christopher giggled.
“I missed you,” the omega said. 
“Missed you too,” Christopher said. 
“I love you so much,” Eddie added.
“I know,” Christopher smiled. “Love you too, Dad.” Eddie still hadn’t let go. 
“Eddie,” Buck chuckled as he put Christopher’s backpack on the table. “Can you at least let the kid take his jacket off?”
“No,” Eddie said before overdramatically squeezing Christopher in a hug, earning a laugh from his son. “Okay, fine.” He grumbled as he let his pup go. 
“You have fun with Denny?” Buck asked, accepting the jacket when Christopher took it off. 
“Yeah, we built a fort with the table, and his moms let us keep it up the whole time,” Christopher told them. Eddie smiled. He owed Hen and Karen big for this. He listened as his pup told him every important detail about the last few days. He and Denny had apparently talked about seeing some new animated movie that Eddie had no idea what the name was the following weekend. Eddie wondered if Hen knew about that, but maybe he’d offer to take the boys soon. Maybe they should start spending more time with the team. Team dinners were nice, but Christopher had loved his day with the team. He had a blast with Denny. Was he the one holding Christopher back? Was his insistence on keeping Christopher so close keeping him from being happy? Eddie was drawn out of his thoughts by a hand on his shoulder. He turned to see the concern in Buck’s baby blues.
“Hey, you okay?” Buck asked. 
Eddie nodded and ran a hand through his hair. “Yeah, just...starting to remember what it is like not being numb.”
“That a good thing or a bad thing?” Buck questioned. 
Eddie shrugged. “Still sorting that out,” the omega admitted. 
“Let me know if I can help,” the alpha stated. 
“You already are,” Eddie grinned. “Honestly, I have no idea if I could do this without you.”
Buck chuckled. “You survived the military, and you managed to be a single dad for this long. You save lives on the regular. As crappy as you feel now, you’ve survived worse on your own.”
“But never as the real me, not really,” Eddie admitted. “I’m serious. It’s like being a teen again. Feelings and all that.”
“You were still you,” Buck said, pulling the omega to him. “You have always been you, just, I don’t know, somewhat muted. But I won’t lie, I like unmuted you. I want to know all of you.”
“So this is that charming Buck that got all ladies and gents before I showed up?” Eddie said, hugging the alpha back and keeping him there. 
Buck snorted a laugh. “Oh no, that was Buck 1.0.” The alpha shook his head. “Nah, I like to think I’ve grown up since then. But I’m not opposed to having some fun.” A smirk played at the alpha’s lips. “Although, Bobby said not in the truck.” 
Eddie choked on air for a moment before recovering. “There’s the smart ass, Buck I’m used to.” 
“You had plenty of good things to say about my ass the last few days,” Buck replied, his tone low so Christopher wouldn’t hear him. 
Eddie shook his head and laughed. “You are something else,” the omega grinned. 
“Damn right,” Buck nodded. “One of a kind, and you like it.”
“Your ass? You know it, but the rest of you, meh.”
“Now that’s a flat-out lie. You like my eyes more,” Buck stated. 
“I like all of you,” Eddie admitted. “Even when your smart mouth ends up being a big pain in my ass.”
Buck actually laughed and bit his lip as he looked into the living room to make sure Christopher was preoccupied. The alpha pulled Eddie close. “I will gladly do much more than just be a pain to that ass.” He playfully nipped at the omega’s bottom lip before kissing him. “But that might have to wait for a bit.” 
Eddie felt warm to the core. Despite having just ended an exhausting heat, he forced himself to reign it in. “Don’t start something you can’t finish, Alpha.” Eddie kissed him back.
“Only making promises, ‘mega,” Buck grinned, kissing the omega more gently this time. “Just making it clear you’re stuck with me now.”
“Oh, I will hold you to that,” Eddie said, kissing him back. The omega froze when they both heard a giggle. 
“Does this mean Buck can come to parents' day at school?” Christopher asked. Eddie’s eyes widened a bit. 
Buck smiled and gave Eddie a quick peck on the lips before turning to Christopher. “Buddy, you know I’ll go anywhere with you guys. All you have to do with ask. You’re my most favorite kid in the world.” The alpha scooped the pup into his arms and hugged him tight. “Nothing could stop me from joining you.”
“Really?” Christopher’s eyes lit up as he asked.
“You will always have me,” Buck promised, squeezing the pup to emphasize the point. “No matter what happens, you’ve got me.” 
Eddie had to blink a few times to control the tears in his eyes. The sight of Buck, the sweetest and most caring alpha he’d ever met, standing there holding Christopher and promising to always be there was almost too much. It was like an amazing dream. The warm and happy feeling in the omega’s chest made him rethink wanting to go back on his meds. He hadn’t felt love like that in years. Sure, the doubt and lack of control sucked, and stopping them abruptly had been an awful feeling, but he felt so happy his heart might explode. Easing off a bit, that is what Buck had said he should do. Baby steps. Yeah, that’s what he’d do because he didn’t want to lose this feeling. 
Eddie was starting to regret the lowered doses. He loved how much more he was feeling when he was with Buck and Christopher. But now he had his doubts. His heart was in his throat as he watched Buck suffer and not be able to do anything. His Buck, his alpha, was face down on the pavement, surrounded by flames and pinned by a 20-ton truck, and there was nothing he could do. The omega’s hands shook as the bomber approached the injured alpha. Eddie felt fear and anger course through him as the kid lashed out at Buck. The uneasy knot in his stomach refused to ease. Eddie wasn’t sure he could handle losing another alpha, especially not like this. Shannon leaving had been terrible, but losing Buck. No. He wasn’t sure he’d survive this. He jumped when he felt a hand on his arm. Hen squeezed his arm. He gripped her hand like a lifeline for a second. But the moment was short-lived as they all turned to see Bobby approaching the bomber. Eddie felt his anxiety tick up again. Bobby was more than just their captain. He was like a father to Buck. And the feeling always seemed mutual. The team was a family. He’d realized when he’d first joined that Buck was a linchpin to how the team functions. Eddie wouldn’t be the only one devastated if this didn’t end well. The omega’s heart hurt for his captain. Eddie was sure of one thing. If anything happened to either alpha, things would never be the same. Buck would never be the same if he thought Bobby was hurt for him, but Bobby wasn’t going to sit back and let anyone hurt Buck because of him. Bobby had lost too much already. Eddie’s heart was in his throat again as Bobby lunged for the bomber. As soon as the all-clear was called, Eddie ran. He ran to the only thing that mattered right now, his alpha. His hands reached for Buck the moment he dropped down beside him. 
“I’m here,” Eddie told the bleeding alpha. Buck’s hand felt weak in his when the alpha took it.
“Eddie…” Buck started, but Eddie stopped him. 
“I’ve got you, Buck, okay?” the omega repeated what the alpha always told him. “I’ve got you.”
Buck nodded weakly. Hen and Eddie started working on saving Buck.
The omega’s leg bounced as he sat in the surgical waiting room while the surgeons tried to save not only his alpha’s leg but his life. He loved that stubborn, pain-in-the-ass alpha. He refused to imagine having to live a life without Buck. What would he tell Christopher? Christopher loved his Buck. He could feel his lungs tighten again as he thought about it. His head snapped up when a hand reached over and gripped his. It was Maddie. 
“He’s a fighter, Eddie,” Maddie grinned.
“I know, I just...I never, I haven’t-” the omega started to say. 
“He loves you too,” Maddie said with a smile. “He just didn’t want to freak you out by telling you. I told him he was an idiot, but he always said you’d been through a lot, and if he had to wait a bit longer, he would. He just wanted to be there with you guys.” 
Eddie felt a new wave of tears in his eyes. “I can’t lose him too.”
“Oh, Eddie,” Maddie said, pulling him into a hug. “No matter what happens, he loves you. You and Christopher are his world.”
Eddie practically jumped out of the chair as a doctor approached them.
“How is he?” Maddie asked.
“The surgery went well. Evan is stable. We were able to save his leg; we placed a rod-”
Eddie was unable to focus on the rest of what the doctor was saying. The sense of relief that his alpha was alive was overwhelming. He tried to reign in his emotions but had been failing since he heard the bomb go off. It was like being back at war. He sat down as he tried to shake that feeling again. He felt arms wrap around him. He knew from the scent it was Maddie again.
“He’s going to be okay,” Maddie smiled. “Might be a tough few months, but he’ll pull through.”
“We’ll make sure of it.”
Eddie bit back a sob as he took in the sight of his alpha, wrapped in bandages, leg in a cast, and out cold. The omega just wanted to crawl in bed beside his alpha and cry, but he forced himself to keep it together. His feet remained as if glued to the spot until Maddie took his hand and pulled him to sit with her beside her brother. “He’d want you here,” the beta smiled as she put Eddie’s hand on her brother’s. 
Eddie froze in his tracks when he heard Buck talking to Carla. His heart pounding in his chest at the way Buck spoke about his leg. He tried to school his features and took a deep breath, and went into the room. He handed Carla a cup of coffee, and he set his own off to the side. 
“Eddie?” Buck asked, staring at him.
Carla looked between the two. “I’m going to let everyone know you’re up,” the female omega excused herself. Buck looked like he was just about to say something but didn’t get the chance. Eddie rushed over and kissed the alpha. 
“Eddie,” Buck said when they broke apart. 
“You scared the hell out of me,” Eddie stated. 
“I didn’t mean to, I-”
Eddie kissed him again before leaning his forehead against his alpha. “You didn’t do anything wrong, so don’t you dare apologize. You’re still here, so just...keep doing that. Okay? I cannot lose you. I won’t lose another alpha. I don’t think my heart can take it. I love you too much.”
“You love me?” Buck asked.
“Yes, you might end up being the literal death of me, but yes, I love you,” Eddie nodded. 
“I love you too,” Buck smiled sadly.
“What’s wrong?” Eddie asked, taking in the sad state and a slight shift in the alpha’s scent. Buck seemed to hesitate. “Hey, Buck,” Eddie held his hand tight. “No more hiding, remember? We do this as a team. No matter what.”
Buck glared at his cast. “Even if you get stuck with an alpha that can’t even work?”
“Doctors said you’d be back up and back to your reckless self in no time,” Eddie stated.
“I doubt they said that.”
“I’m paraphrasing slightly,” Eddie admitted, earning a snort from the alpha. “The metal rod will do its job, and you’ll be back to trying to give me a heart attack by jumping headfirst into whatever rescue mission we get called to. You just have to let yourself heal first.”
“That is going to take forever,” Buck grumbled. 
“Well, you won’t have to do it alone, got it?” Eddie assured him. Buck nodded but didn’t respond. The omega had a feeling that this was far from the last time they’d be having this discussion. It was going to be a long road to recovery, but he wasn’t about to back down now. Not when he finally had someone he genuinely loved.

If anyone is wondering what Buck’s “like sea monkeys” comment is about:
Sea monkeys are the advertising name for brine shrimp which were sold basically as a sorta toy where you get three pooches (one of the eggs, one of nutrients, one of dye) and you pour it in and then you get these weird looking creatures
But the reason for bucks comment is that sea monkeys are actually an artificial breed made from hybridisation and they hatch from eggs that can remain dormant for years until exposed to water
So yeah Eddie😌like sea monkeys😌
Let the man cook next time🫡

Of course I have to ask about omega Eddie
your wish is my command!!
heard the words "im a nester. i nest' and well...rightfully spiraleld
Buck does his best to calm down his overactive mind before entering Eddie's house. It’s one thing for Eddie to take a sick day or two every now and then, but a whole week? Out of nowhere, too- the whole thing is off. Because if he knew about it beforehand he would have told Buck about it, right? …Right? He shakes his head. This isn’t about him. This is about Eddie. With swift, anxious fingers, he slides his key into place and unlocks the front door, allowing himself inside. Immediately upon entering, Buck takes a half step back, physically reeling from the sudden aroma that hits him. It’s strong. Sweet. And yet oddly familiar. What the fuck? It sends Buck’s back a bit as he shuts the door behind him. It’s not a bad smell by any means, and definitely not artificial in any sense; fuck, just the opposite. Like someone took the natural scent of the Diaz home and cranked it by a thousand.  But there’s something else there. Something Buck doesn’t know, but it feels like he should. His stomach turns, and the hairs on his arms stand as sweat gathers between his shoulders. Fuck, what is happening here? He squeezes his eyes shut, quickly shaking his head. His body is overreacting, he needs to focus. Buck came here for a reason. With a deep breath, he pulls himself together. “Eddie?” he calls out, heading further into the living room. Buck ignores how the scent feels like it’s getting stronger there. He definitely ignores the way his body seems to crave more of it, too. Now is definitely not the time. There’s no sign of Eddie here besides the smell, but then out of the corner of his eye, he spots it. On the floor of the living room, where the coffee table once stood, a gathering of pillows, blankets, and sheets now stands.  Buck glances down at the pile, slowly noticing a smattering of a few hoodies and T-shirts strewn about the floor as well. The realization hits him like a brick upside the head. It’s a nest. Eddie’s nest. His mind spins, all the information swirling around in his mind wildly. The days off. The smell. The nest. Oh fuck. Eddie’s going into heat.

The Animal In Me Loves the Human In You (BuckTommy Omegaverse)
That's such a bad title but I suck at titles. Also sorry for writing Buck and Tommy so OOC
Summary: In which, Tommy gets hurt and Buck goes feral
***
Feral alphas were sadly not a rare occurrence in their line of work. Every month, they came across a case of an alpha going feral, and then they would have to subdue the alpha and make sure they were taken to the nearest alpha care unit. Sometimes Buck and his team were there on time to stop the alpha from hurting anyone but other times, they were as lucky. It both scared and saddened Buck to see other alphas in that state. To think that he is also one bad day away from becoming them terrifies him but to see them not realize the damage they have done until it's too late saddens him too.
Lately, it has become commonplace for alphas to go feral and no one knows why that is. Buck figured there was something in the water. The same water he drank. Shit.
"Tommy! Hey!"
Eddie's voice brought Buck out of his thoughts and all his fears and sadness disappeared when he saw his omega, Tommy.
"Hey, fellas!" Tommy greeted them and his eyes shined when they landed on Buck. "How's it going?"
"What are you doing here?" Buck asked surprised. He resisted the urge to reach out to his omega and pull him in for a hug. But they were working, it wouldn't be right.
"Oh, Lucy and I are here to pick up your patient and transport him," Tommy replied.
"Yeah, I called them," Bobby chimed in. "There are no spaces at the local alpha unit so Jeremy will need to be transported to a facility in Santa Monica."
Buck subtly moved to stand next to Tommy and let their shoulders brush against each other. If he couldn't touch his omega right now then this would have to do.
"Are you okay?" Tommy asked once Lucy started talking to everyone. "I know these cases aren't easy on you."
"Nah, I'm good," Buck replied and smiled at him. "Especially now that you're here."
"You're such a sap," Tommy teased and rolled his eyes. "So what do you want for dinner tonight?"
"Y-"
"I am not on the menu," Tommy quickly cut him off and smirked.
"Well, that sucks. If my favorite dish isn't on the menu then how am I supposed to eat?" Buck pouted at him.
"You'll live," Tommy chuckled, shaking his head. "Anyway, we should get going."
"Do you have to? Can't you just stay a little while and watch me be heroic?" Buck pouted at him again.
"If you two are done flirting, can we transport the patient now?" Lucy cut in.
Tommy cleared his throat and nodded. Buck noticed the slight tint of red on his cheeks.
Buck watched Tommy go, and his heart clenched. He felt a hand on his shoulder and saw Eddie giving him a knowing look. "You'll see him later tonight."
"I know, but I just miss him when he's not here with me. I told him to join us instead but he doesn't want to. Says he enjoys flying too much," Buck explained and remorsefully looked at his omega again.
"Come on, let's go. Our job here is done," Bobby told them.
Just as they turned around to leave, Buck heard a scream. He looked back to see Tommy and Lucy trying to hold the feral alpha down. The feral alpha grabbed Tommy's throat and Buck saw red. He growled and ran towards them.
Buck grabbed the other alpha's arm and tried to pull it off Tommy, who was struggling to breathe. When that didn't work, he growled loudly and flashed his eyes at the other alpha, forcing him to cower and let go of Tommy.
Buck kept snarling at him. All he could think was how this alpha tried to hurt his omega. The alpha in him took over and he grabbed the alpha's throat and squeezed instead.
"Buck!" Someone yelled and soon there were hands, trying to pull him away, but Buck didn't budge. He kept squeezing.
"BUCK!" Bobby growled and let his alpha through, flashing his gold eyes at him.
Buck let go of the alpha immediately and backed off, lowering his eyes at the alpha in charge. He immediately went to Tommy's side and checked on him.
"I'm okay, I'm okay," Tommy assured him and tried to smile but failed.
Buck frowned and checked his neck to see bruises there. He immediately wanted to kill the feral alpha again, but by now Hen and Chimney had subdued him and Bobby was keeping himself in between the feral alpha and Buck.
Everything was a blur after that. His entire focus was only on Tommy. He stayed close to his side as Hen looked at him.
"I'm okay," Tommy tried telling Hen but a low growl rumbled in Buck's throat. "Don't you growl at me, Evan," Tommy said, sounding more amused than pissed off.
"The damage isn't too bad," Hen told them. She said something else after that Buck heard nothing. His sole focus was on Tommy.
"Let's go. I'm taking you home," Buck told Tommy.
"We have work to do, Evan. We can't go home," Tommy gently told him.
"I don't care. I am taking you home where I can keep you safe," Buck told him again.
Suddenly someone grabbed Buck's arm and forced him to turn around. "Buck! What the hell were you people doing when that feral alpha attacked my girlfriend?!"
It was Taylor. Buck looked at her hand on his arm and then back at her.
"Get your hand off me before I break it," Buck warned the other alpha.
"You don't scare me, Buck!" Taylor scoffed at him. "You're a pathetic excuse for an alpha. You can't even protect your own omega! How could I possibly expect you to protect mine?"
"Taylor, stop," Lucy tried pulling her alpha back but it was too late.
Buck saw red once again and his alpha took over. The next thing he knew, he lunged at Taylor.
Someone shouted his name and then people were trying to hold him back. But Buck kept growling and snarling, and he only saw Taylor, having a deep urge to kill her.
Buck's only mission at that moment was to kill Taylor and the feral alpha who hurt his omega.
But he was being forced to lie down and was strapped to the gurney as he thrashed about, trying to break free.
"No, no, no, wait! Lemme talk to him before you give him that."
Buck heard Tommy's voice and then his face came into view. He reached out to touch Buck and Buck snarled at him.
"Evan, baby, hey, it's me. Your omega. Your Tommy. You remember me, right?"
How could Buck ever forget him? Buck stopped snarling and just blinked at him instead.
"Yeah, of course you remember me." Tommy smiled at him and Buck suddenly felt a lot calmer.
"Tommy?" His voice sounded small and pathetic to himself.
"Yeah, baby, it's me. I know you were just trying to protect me and I love you for that," Tommy told him in a gentle voice.
Buck's chest stopped heaving and he struggled to push his alpha back. "I'm sorry," he said when he finally won.
"You have nothing to be sorry for. Everyone here understands that you were just looking out for me," Tommy assured him.
"How on Earth did you do that?" Buck heard Chimney ask. "Man, you just calmed down a feral alpha."
"He's not a feral alpha. He's my Evan," Tommy told him before leaning down to kiss Buck. Buck eagerly kissed him back and was freed from the restraints.
Buck sat up on the gurney and pulled Tommy close as he continued to kiss him, not caring who saw them.

summary : He forces his attention away from the little family peacefully playing across the room to his boyfriend instead. He swallows. “I think I know what’s going on with me,” he whispers, taking Eddie’s hand into his.
Eddie cocks his head to the side, a question on his face. “What do you mean?”
Buck turns his head back to the omega and her three pups. A strong, sudden feeling of jealousy and envy takes him over. Buck’s never felt like this before. He turns to look at Eddie again.
It’s Eddie’s turn to have his entire attention focused on the four of them on the other side of the waiting room. Only, in his eyes, Buck sees something else than jealousy.
He sees possessiveness.

Oreo Towers will Tumble
Buddie M 7K
Drew Heyward has been a floater at the 118 for a few shifts and ends up as man behind one afternoon. During this time he finds a surprise visitor, Eddie Diaz, one of the handful of omega first responders and the person Drew has been covering for. Turns out, Eddie is Buck's mate, very pregnant and bored after weeks of bedrest. They talk, panic attacks occur, and oreo tower bets are made, creating a new friendship.
“Well until I was put on stupid bed rest a few months ago, this was my place of work.” The omega answered, annoyance lacing his tone. Immediately Drew caught on who their guest is. “Holy shit your Eddie Diaz.” “Technically Buckley-Diaz, but yep that’s me. And you are?” Drew didn’t answer at first, because he was…well he was somewhat starstruck.  Eddie Diaz is one of a handful of omega first responders in the state of California and he was badass.  Pulled a live grenade from a man’s leg, climbed a tilted hotel and a submerged Ferris wheel, and survived the sniper attack back in May. His saves were legendary, and he broke through all the glass ceilings held above omegas.  “Um…” Diaz squinted a bit, eyes on the beta’s chest, “Firefighter Heyward, you good there?” “Holy shit I didn’t know I was covering for you! Oh my god! And did you say Buckley-Diaz? Buckley? As in Buck? He’s your mate?” Drew finally caught the underlying scent of ocean salt and smokey cedar of his fellow fireman mingled with Diaz’s spiced chocolate. “Holy shit!”
Its here! May not be the a/b/o fic ya'll are expecting, but this one is complete and posted! This fic was literally inspired by a pack of Oreos and the random ass image of Eddie stacking them on his pregnant belly. I hope you all enjoy!

Snippet Sunday
Let's pretend it's still Sunday for me ^^
I was on a train for three hours and started writing a third part for my werecat a/b/o series??? (not a direct sequel, I think it would contradict some of what's strongly implied in the first two fics but well)
Snippet is under the cut, please feel yourself tagged if you want to be!
Buck had liked Tommy, had maybe even flirted with him, but that had only lasted until he saw Tommy and Eddie together. Eddie, who was always free in his affections when it came to casual touches, hugged Tommy closely as a greeting and then didn't seem to let go. From saying hi to the moment he needed to let go to climb into the copter, Eddie's right arm stayed around Tommy's waist and Tommy put his arm around Eddie's shoulders.
Omegas are touchy, Philip Buckley would have said but Buck knew better. Humans were touchy, some more so, some less. But strong alphas were supposed to be stoic and above such basic human needs (and Buck failed so badly at that, frankly he was proud of it), unlike frail omegas who were allowed to indulge without risking society's judgemental eye.
So maybe Buck was upset about nothing- Eddie was tactile, he knew that - but it didn't mean that he had to like this. And it only continued: Tommy this and Tommy that, suddenly Tommy was everywhere! Or more precisely: everywhere around Eddie. Going to trivia nights, watching movies, having dinner at Eddie's, going to watch sweaty men beating each other up, being sweaty men beating each other up. Well, maybe not that last one. Buck had seen the bruises and cuts on Eddie during his fight club days and sparring with Tommy just did not compare.
And then there was basketball.
Eddie had asked Buck to come many times but Buck had refused every time. He could play but he just didn't like it. He preferred spending time with Eddie at home, in the kitchen or out with Christopher or maybe going for a drink. Just not basketball.
But now Tommy went along and Eddie had it in his calendar, circled.
So Buck may have lied to Chimney about wanting to go to the basketball game with him as a brotherly (in-law) bonding exercise. And of course Chimney knew as soon as they arrived, which probably meant that Maddie would soon know too. Buck was pissed from the start, from the moment he saw Eddie and Tommy touching, if he was honest with himself (which he certainly wasn't, as he knew even then). That should have been a good indication to not play. But no, like an idiot he went on.
They had come off a 24 h shift just an hour before the game and Buck had taken care to reapply his scent-blocker but he was certainly the exception. Chimney's smell grew stronger as they played, the sweat overpowering the vestiges of his scent-blocker. Buck liked the beta's smell – marriage or not: Chimney was his brother. There were the smells of two other alphas but Buck paid them no attention; these two in particular held no appeal to him.
There was Eddie's smell, which was a rarity outside of the Diazes' home. Eddie had told him once that he'd gotten used to scent-blockers in the Army and since then enjoyed not being clocked as an omega immediately. Things certainly were better than they had been fifty, thirty or even ten years ago, but Buck had observed how some people’s attitude towards Eddie shifted if his scent-blockers grew weak during a long day without any pauses and his smell became noticeable. To Buck, his best friend smelled like home; possibly the best smell in the world, but some people smelled an unmated omega and decided to take that as permission to feel superior and become a creep, to put it as nicely as possible. Normally Eddie's scent was soothing and calming but right now it pissed Buck off and he couldn't tell why.
And then there was Tommy, whose scent Buck had never smelled before. He was an omega too, which maybe would have surprised Buck 1.0, who had not shaken off the stereotypes as much as he'd thought back then, but especially since meeting Eddie and mistaking him for an alpha, Buck had given up trying to guess anybody's secondary sex. Tommy certainly didn't fit the omega stereotype: tall and built, more so than Buck, and he smelled enticing, exciting – even though Buck hated him.
Normally that last thought should have been enough for Buck to step back and take a moment to try and understand what was going on. But right now he was trying to get closer, even if that meant running into Tommy, literally, and then...then Buck got so close so quickly that Eddie was lying on the ground, groaning, and with a hurt ankle. Buck did that. And Buck did not understand.
Buck had some realisations while he tried to distract himself with some bills - which totally did not work. He'd been trying to get closer to Eddie because he'd felt as though Eddie was leaving him out, even though Eddie was just spending time with somebody else, a new friend. Buck knew he’d struggled with the fear of being replaced; he'd had long talks with Doctor Copeland about it. He’d thought he’d been over it, or at least better at recognising it for what it was. Apparently not. Fear of being replaced, that was all it was, right?
And he'd been trying to get closer to Tommy because Tommy was an interesting person and also a hot man, objectively. And also subjectively, when it came to Buck. There had been a reason why Buck had asked for a tour at the 217  after all, and asked Tommy specifically.
He'd wanted attention from his best friend and an attractive man, sue him. Which they actually maybe should, or Eddie at least. Buck had hurt his best friend – if Eddie even wanted to remain friends, Buck could understand if not, and- Buck cut off this catastrophising, spiralling train of thought. Whatever Eddie decided, Buck would learn about it. He'd just have to be patient.
Luckily for him it wasn't a long time between this realisation and a knock to his door that promised a good distraction from his impatience. He opened it and there stood Tommy. Buck didn't know who he was expecting, maybe a neighbour, but definitely not Tommy

After months of agonizing about how to tell his team that he was an omega, the truth came out on a regular Tuesday afternoon.
Chimney was showing them an ultrasound a victim from an accident a few weeks back had sent him, thanking Chim for his help saving his girlfriend and unborn child.
“They are the size of a peanut right now, just this small.” Buck was explaining to Christopher, fingers an inch apart.
“Whoa! Was I ever that small, dad?” Chris asked, looking up at Eddie, “Back when I was in your tummy?” He added, placing a hand on Eddie's stomach.
Eddie could hear the sharp intakes of breath, but he kept his eyes on Chris, placing a hand on top of his son’s and answering “Yeah bud, back when you were living right here.”
He forced himself to be brave then, taking a deep breath and holding on to his son’s hand, he looked up at the others. Both Chim and Buck looked shocked.
Buck had his hand raised towards him as if he too, was going to place it on Eddie's stomach.

Chapter 4: Confrontation
The next few weeks were better. Buck would text back and forth with his sister. He’d meet her for lunch. He would bring Christopher along when he wasn’t in school. It seemed like everything might get back to some semblance of normal. The one hangup was that every time Maddie and Eddie saw each other, it was painfully awkward and tense. There was nothing positive between them. And that weighed on the omega’s heart. Buck hated it, but he didn’t know what to do. Maddie had acknowledged the fact that Buck and Christopher were able to meet her without Eddie was good. It was important that he let them have autonomy. But things were still bad. And as much as they all wanted to protect the pup, even Christopher could tell something was wrong. 
Maddie sighed as she saw Eddie waiting outside her building after her shift. The alpha’s posture was stiff but not angry. He wasn’t giving off a vibe that screamed danger. He didn’t look like his world was ending either, so odds are nothing was wrong with Evan or Christopher. He was probably just there to bother her. Or at least attempt to talk. She still kept her guard up as she approached him. He was still an alpha, after all, and this was her home. But if he could be civil. She’d allow it. She would be doing this for her brother. She had to focus on that. 
“Eddie,” she said in greeting. Her keys gripped tight in her hand.
“Maddie,” Eddie greeted back. “Can we talk?”
Maddie bit back a bitter laugh. What was she supposed to do? Say no, cause a scene. She sighed but nodded. It was for Evan. She’d do it for Evan.  One of her neighbors seemed to slow as they approached the building. The tension was obvious, and they were clearly concerned, especially after what had happened with Doug. She gave them a tight smile and a wave.
“Inside, I don’t need my neighbors gossiping about anyone else getting stabbed because of me,” she tells him.
They walked in awkward silence until they were in her living room.
“No one is going to get stabbed,” the alpha grumbled and tried to keep his annoyance at the insinuation. He reminded himself his mate’s sister had been through a lot. Chimney had nearly died. Maddie had nearly died. Buck had risked jail time, and possibly worse, to save her. And Eddie had helped. He sighed. “And it wasn’t on you, Maddie. He’s dead because you- that didn’t come out right.” Eddie ran a hand through his hair. “You didn’t do anything wrong doing what you did to Doug. It was self-defense. It was justifiable. He-”
“I highly doubt you’re here to talk about Doug,” Maddie stopped him. She needed to keep it together to get through this without saying something she couldn’t take back. If they kept on this topic, she wouldn’t be able to do that. “I don’t really want to talk about him.”
Eddie nodded. He could get that, even if she had sort have brought it up. Then again, he was a clearly agitated alpha that had waited for her outside her home. And her neighbors didn’t know him. So he didn’t push it. Not with that, at least.  “Yeah, okay. So, I know things have been a bit insane, and that morning was…tense.”
“Tense is an understatement, but I’m listening,” Maddie stated. 
“Okay,” Eddie took a deep breath and reminded himself he was here to try and fix things for his mate. “I know you’ve been through a lot more than anyone should have. I was even around for part of it. I know I fucked up, Maddie. I know I hurt him, and I am trying to fix that, but I can’t fix that overnight. I know I can’t magically fix that or this.” He gestures between himself and Maddie. “I know you don’t trust me. I mean, your instincts are probably screaming at you right now. And that’s justified. Alphas have put you through shit. Your dad wasn’t great. Your husband was an abusive knothead. For the record, I’d have torn any knothead to pieces for putting my sisters through half of what you went through. I’m a bit shocked you agreed to let me in here.” Eddie realized how off that sounded. “I’m not going to hurt you. I need you to know that. I would never…you could slap me, hit me, do anything to me, and that’d be fine. I’d let you, you’re my mate’s sister, and that means something. It does. I know I let things go too far. I know I hurt him and hurt you. I was an asshole that let my issues get the best of me.”
“Your issues nearly killed him,” Maddie pointed out.
“You don’t think I know that? I can’t close my eyes at night and not see him pale and motionless on that damn bunk. That image is seared into my brain. I wake up, and my hands shake, and I damn near cry because I swear I can still feel his cold skin and his barely beating pulse, and it will haunt me more than anything that happened to me overseas. Haunt me more than anything with Shannon. More than anything. Period. End of sentence. It surprises me every time that he just tells me it’s okay. That we’re okay. Because it’s not, I’m not. I know you think he can do better. That he deserves better. I don’t think it. I know it. I know he deserved someone better than me. I know he deserved someone that didn’t put him through all the shit I did. And it would genuinely kill me if I lost him.” He didn’t miss the way Maddie tensed at that. “But if you think for half a second I wouldn’t let him walk away, if that is what he wanted, you’re wrong. I would die for Buck. He could tear my heart out, and I’d let him because as much as living in a world without him would destroy me, I would never hurt him like that. I have loved him for years and nearly lost him too many times. But as selfish as I am, I’d die before I let what happened to happen again. Only one thing could take me away from your brother’s side, other than my own death, and that’s Buck. Buck’s the only one that can convince me to leave. I’d rather die than do it, but I would. I need you to understand that.”
“So if my brother looked at you tomorrow and said he needed space, would you let him go?”
“I would. I have before. I need you to see that. Doug hunted you down. The amount of pain he caused. I would not want that for anyone. It infuriates me that no one tried to help you. If I had known you, if I have-" Eddie has to calm his mind. She didn’t want to talk about Doug. She had made that clear. He needed to redirect and prove his point in a different way. So he can help her see he can be reasonable. "Shannon wasn't my mate, but she was the mother of my child. Long before she died, she left me. She left Christopher. And I let her go. I was a young alpha fresh out of the military with a son with health problems. And I let her go. I didn't go after her, because Christopher needed me. He didn't need the resentment of a mother that didn't want to be there. A safe and loving home was what he needed. He still does. I do my best, but seriously, I couldn’t have done half of it without Buck. He’s been there for Chris since before they met. If Buck had a good enough reason, I’d let him take him. Because he loves Chris more than anything in the world and has already proved he’d die before he lets anything happen to him. I might destroy a punching bag or two after he’s gone, at worst, put a few holes in my wall, but I’d never consciously and voluntarily hurt either of them. I would cut off my own hand before I laid a finger on them, especially after everything that has happened. He’s my mate. He and Christopher are the only thing that matters to me. I need them to be okay. I need them to be happy. If somehow that ended up not being with me, fine. It’d just be another fuck up I take with me to my grave. But only because I knew they’d be okay without me. If that was what Evan Buckley wanted, he could have it. I’d give him anything to make him happy. And this, whatever this mess is between you and me, isn’t making him happy. And I can’t have that. So tell me, what can I do to fix this? To at least make it, so he isn’t hurting anymore? What do I need to do?”     
"Eddie. I know you love him, and he loves you. I know you don't actively want to hurt him." Maddie finally says, but she clearly has more to say.
"But?" Eddie tries to not get too anxious at not knowing what stipulation she might add.
"But, I have one request. I need to know that if you have issues, you'll talk to someone, a doctor, a therapist, or someone that can help you. Even if it’s just Bobby or Athena. They’ll know some way to help. You can’t take them out on him or Christopher. I need to know Evan is safe too." 
Eddie huffs. The alpha almost can’t believe it. That was it? That's all she needed from him. He nods. "I can do that. I plan on doing that anyway. So I can promise you that much."
"Okay,” she accepts. The beta lets her shoulders relax and nods. That was easier than she had expected. He wasn’t seeing it as a weakness like many alphas she knew. “I may not like how everything happened, but if you can keep my brother safe and happy, then I am fine with it."
"Really?" Eddie asked. The alpha hopeful they can finally put this behind them. "So we're good?"
"Yes, Eddie. If you're good to my brother, then we won't have a problem. So we're good."
"You aren't going to hit me or anything if I hug you, right?" He asks. She rolls her eyes and hugs him. 
"Tell Evan I'll see him for breakfast tomorrow," she says. "You and Chris are invited too."
"We'll be there," Eddie assures.  
He feels so much lighter as he leaves her place and heads home.

Just For This Moment by suyari - 10,370 words, mature
Summary: “Take your time,” Carla said sternly. “Don’t rush this because you’re worried, Buck, do you hear me? Any change in your scent could just set him off.”
“Yes, thank you, I know how to deal with Alphas,” he drawled.
“Yes, but Eddie’s not just another Alpha and I think it’s time we acknowledged that.”

summary : They’ve been courting for a few months now. It’s agonizingly slow, but it’s still the best time they’ve ever had. You might think that after six years of walking on eggshells around each other, half a decade of “will-they-won’t-they” they wouldn’t be taking such a slow time with courting, but it's precisely everything that they’ve been through that makes them appreciate things a little better.
They both know what they want, they both know where it’s heading. There’s no reason not to enjoy every little thing in the meantime.
