Summary
“Your colleague will be just fine without you, Edmundo, you’re not a superhero. You’re a father and you’re about to have a legal battle on your hands if we can’t—”
Any semblance of control Eddie had tore apart at the seams; a pair of jeans he’d been growing out of for a long time. He couldn’t keep squashing himself down, couldn’t keep holding back on the anger and the betrayal.
Because putting Buck next to his own parents was— illuminating. Buck who had handed himself willingly to a serial killer for his older sister, while Eddie’s own parents actively worked to take his child away.
“No.” Eddie answered, so overwhelmed with emotion that it somehow evened out to sounding numb. “No. No, I am not going to stand here and fight over my child with you while the love of my life is at the very least in serious danger if not— if he’s not—”
He hadn’t heard his son enter. He hadn’t heard Sophia either.
Only when Christopher interrupted did Eddie realise.
OR - Eddie POV of the Bravery Game.

Summary
Missing Chris is less of an emotion these days and more of a physical entity. He’s sure everyone can see that he’s slowly hollowing himself out, that he can’t do much of anything else.
But when Jee laughs at him trying to get his tongue to touch his nose, and Mara loops one of her arms through his to keep him from tossing the rest of his cup in the garbage, Eddie feels solid again.
Maybe he likes yellow birthday cake ice cream after all.
(or, gerrard messes with the team's schedules and eddie 'i just drove my son to flee the state' diaz is the only option to watch mara and jee-yun after school on tuesdays, which, shouldn't be a problem at all, right?)
