Buck & Eddie got married and forgot to tell everyone and this is how it gets out:
Itâs been a long day and it seems as though the 118 has finally caught a break; theyâre in the middle of some much needed down time, hanging out in the kitchen lounging area, when Bobby gets the email.Â
âWhat on Godâs green...â He half mutters, blinking and scrolling back up because thereâs no way he read that correctly, is there? He stares at his laptop screen but itâs there, written in black and white, clear as day.Â
Normally he would call both parties into his office and deal with this privately, but it comes as such a shock that the Captain blurts out, âYou two got married?!â without a second thought.Â
Hen and Chimney look up from the game of cards theyâre playing, confused for a moment before everyoneâs gazes ultimately fall on Buck and Eddie, who were sharing the loveseat, watching some sitcom they both like.Â
âOh,â Buck clicks his tongue and snaps his fingers. âYeah, I almost forgot about that.âÂ
âWait, you what? This is for real?â Hen drops her cards on the table, revealing her hand, though she canât be bothered to care at this point.Â
The Captain blinks again, shaking his head. âWhy am I only hearing about this now in an email from HR?âÂ
âAnd why werenât we invited?â Chimney complains. âMaddieâs gonna hear about this.â he says, already taking out his phone to text her the gossip.Â
Eddie shrugs. âWell for one, we were drunk.â he says.Â
Buck nods in agreement. âIt seemed like a good idea at the time, though. Still is.âÂ
Hen snorts. âOh God, and pray tell, how?âÂ
âWe got into this whole long conversation about that time we were all suspected of having robbed that bank--you guys remember, right?â Eddie starts, acting as if itâs no big deal.Â
Bobby nods slowly, confused as can be. âYes? And how exactly did that lead to marriage?âÂ
âBuck mentioned how if we ever did commit a crime--âÂ
Chimney tries to hold back his laughter but itâs impossible, especially at the look on the Captainâs face as Eddie goes on.Â
Buck shrugs helplessly. âWhat? Not saying we would, just like, itâs a possibility!â he tries to defend himself, nodding at Eddie to continue.Â
âSo anyway, he said spouses arenât legally required to snitch on each other and uh, you know, one thing led to the other and I mean, câmon, we live in LA, thereâs no waiting period after you get your marriage license, so. Yeah.âÂ
âOh my God.â Hen covers her face with both hands, unable to stifle her own laughter. âAnd you guys didnât think to maybe get it reversed once yaâll sobered up?!âÂ
Buck shrugs again. âWhen we did sober up the next morning and realize what happened we talked about getting the marriage annulled.â he admits.Â
âBut the more we spoke about it the more we realized it would just be easier to stay married.â Eddie says, as if itâs the most reasonable thing in the world. âBuck is already in my will as Christopherâs legal guardian if anything were to happen, so really, the fact that weâre married now--âÂ
âWoah woah woah, hold on, wait, what?!â Chimney gapes. âMy heart can only take one piece of juicy gossip a day, folks! My fingers can only type so fast!âÂ
Bobby turns to Eddie, âYou put Buck down as Christopherâs legal guardian?â He asks, looking between the two now, with raised brows.Â
Eddie notes the way Buck sinks into the loveseat a little further, the way his shoulders hunch, and he hates that he knows damn well what Buck is thinking. That everyone will ask Eddie what he was thinking, to reconsider, or something stupid along those lines. So he quickly goes up to bat for Buck. âOf course. Thereâs no one Iâd trust with my kid more.â he says, confident and unwilling to back down.Â
He feels Buck relax beside him and it tugs at his heart.Â
The Captain smiles warmly in response and sighs fondly. âIn that case, let me approve these HR forms.â he waves the two of them over. âCâmon, to my office, you two have a lot of forms to fill out.âÂ
As soon as the three men are out of sight Hen turns to Chimney and purses her lips. âKaren predicted this would happen and I told her she was outta her damn mind.â she sighs. âI owe my wife a crisp twenty.âÂ
Chim stares at Hen. âI know youâre married to a genius but thereâs no way in hell Karen predicted this exact scenario, câmon.âÂ
Hen shakes her head. âI shit you not, she said those two are gonna end up married for Christopherâs benefit before they even realize theyâre in love.âÂ
âOf course she did.âÂ
