#mom dad this is buck

[laserpaper118]

In 7x10, Buck and Chris have a short conversation as Chris was gathering his things to leave for Texas.

Eddie's parents know that Buck is talking to Chris in private, in Chris's room, as Eddie waits outside, in his own home

Eddie's parents directly witness that Eddie trusts Buck entirely to give Chris a little perspective, more just to get through to Chris than to change his mind. Because Chris won't even look at Eddie

Eddie's parents, who have never been introduced to Ana or Marisol--or even Kim for that matter, if not for this whole mess--see firsthand how Eddie trusts Buck to reach out to Chris when Eddie can't

Chris apparently does let Buck in and calmly gives Buck a chance to say what he has to say. No commotion was heard from outside the room. Whatever Buck was saying in there, Chris welcomes Buck in his space

Eddie's parents are also watching closely as Eddie raises his gaze, worried but hopeful, as Buck exits Chris' room. Eddie truly believes that where he's failed to get Chris to open up to him, Buck is succeeding. At least in letting Buck check in on him one more time before his flight

Eddie's parents then see how Eddie and Buck carried an entire silent conversation in three seconds. Eddie understood, took a deep breath, fortified himself, and went on to try to make Chris understand that he is loved, and welcome to say he wants to come back, any time at all

I wonder what Helena and Ramon make of Buck's position in Eddie's life?

If a hot 40 year old pilot seductively called me by my government name, promised to teach me stuff and told me how irreplaceable I am I’d make out with him in my kitchen too tf

Bobby and Athena inviting Buck and Tommy over for dinner though

And Buck being SO nervous about it, and Tommy's just like "Evan??? I've met both of them before, already? It's not gonna be that bad! It's not like we're having dinner with your parents!"

And Buck just kinda looks at him...and Tommy suddenly recalls all the times Buck has talked about Bobby, and all the times he's talked about Athena, and how much he cares about them, and how much he's always appreciated how much they care about him...

and Tommy's suddenly like "OH MY GOD WE'RE HAVING DINNER WITH YOUR PARENTS"

[queenimmadolla]

maybe the cryptic pregnancy can be an alternate story / not canon to the main plot of pennyverse?

you might be onto something 🤔

i can see it now; 21 year-old Eddie, getting his shit together, making BIG plans with his 20 year-old bride, talking about traveling and touring with Corroded Coffin across the US, only to take his wife to the hospital because she’s got some stomach cramps.

two hours later, his hand is almost broken by her from how hard she’s squeezing it as she pushes out the baby neither knew she was carrying. they’re both too stunned to speak afterwards as they stare down at the, albeit cute, proof that what you’d been saying NO! to every time a doctor confirmed it for you while they prepped you for labor, was true. and the number one thing on Eddie’s mind is how no one is going to believe this shit.

[scottishaccentsareawesome]

(Abuela and Eddie are talking to each other after the Madney wedding) Abuela: Buck looked so cute with that soot all over his face.. Eddie(smirks): Yeah, that was cute, huh? Abuela: His sister must think she raised him so well... (Phillip and Margaret Buckley suddenly appear) Margaret:(chuckling)...Y'know, we were there too, y'know...When Buck was growing up. (Abuela and Eddie just stare at them) Phillip: Y'know, because we're Buck's parents. Abuela(to Eddie, in Spanish):...I thought your fire captain and his wife were Buck's parents? Eddie(in Spanish): They are, these people just gave birth to Buck, so humour them. [in English] MR AND MRS. BUCKLEY, HI...!

[hisbucky]

*party at the new Grant-Nash residence* Buck, hosting: Fueled by trauma and insecurities, I present to you our special activity for the night — a quiz based on me, my life, and things I love. Tonight, we will find out who truly loves me. Chimney, deadpan: Buck, this is not that serious. Tommy, muttering: Speak for yourself, me and Eddie are here to win this. Eddie: You tell him, babe. Ain't no way we are going to let anybody show us up. Nobody knows Buck better than we do as his boyfriends. Bobby: You sure about that? Would be a shame if the two of you lose after all that smack talk. Maddie: Enough yapping. I'm ready to crush all of you. Buck: Now before we begin, introducing our special guest for the program - Christopher: Prepare to be humbled, fam. *on the other side of the house* Hen: Didn't want to join in the fun? Athena: Buck knows better than to question his momma’s love. The boy knows I'd rather have a relaxing night of wine and gossip. Karen: Cheers to that!
