Literally 1-4 could work together it doesn't have to be all of them but I just couldn't pick which one. Love your writing.

"Hey Eds." Buck said casually answering his phone.

"I need a favor." Eddie said on the other end of the phone.

"Uh...o-kaaay. What kind of favor we talking?" Buck asked suddenly intrigued. Eddie sighed out a bit annoyed before continuing.

"I need you to come over. It's a bit of a long story but to make it short I need you here in the next like 15 minutes before my parents get here. There in town and I...really don't want to deal with them today." Eddie said talking kinda fast.

"No worries man, I'm on my way." Buck answered.

"Thanks Buck."

"That's what friends are for right?" Buck said as he grinned and started his Jeep, tossing his phone into the seat as they hung up.

"Look if they ask anything-" Eddie started but was cut off.

"We have reservations that can't be cancelled and it's one of the only nights we have off so we can't reschedule date night. Carla is watching Christopher and we are getting ready to leave because we have to be there by 7:15." Buck said casually as Eddie helped him with his tie. Eddie nodded and stepped back to look at his handiwork.

"Try not too screw this up yeah?"

"I'm offended you think so lowly of me." Buck rolled his eyes.

"Actually the opposite, that's the reason I called you. I could have called someone else. Just seriously please don't be a smartass with them Buck, they get on my case enough as is." Eddie huffed as he did his own tie.

"Look I'm only here to establish an alibi...more specifically your alibi Eddie. But don't worry I'll bite my tongue and behave." Buck said as he leaned against the wall and looked at his best friend. Damn did he look good in that suit.

"I know you're always a good lil golden retriever Buck. So just keep it cool for a few minutes, just long enough to get rid of them okay?"

"So I'm wearing a suit just because you need to lie to your parents? And why has everyone just decided that I'm a human golden retriever?" Buck said throwing his hands up pouting.

"That look right there, you look like an adorable little confused puppy. Plus you've got a heart of gold Buckaroo. You're a puppy boy." Eddie laughed, completely ignoring the first question. Buck shook his head and mumbled something to himself as he took something out of Eddie's hair earning an odd look from his friend. Buck just shrugged a shoulder.

Before Eddie could say anything there was a knock at the door. "Be right there!"

Eddie made his way to the door and opened it pretending to be surprised. Aunt Pepa had called Eddie ahead of time to warn him his parents would be headed his way soon.

"Uh...hey. What are you guys doing here?" Eddie asked as he hugged his mother and shook his father's hand.

"Is that any way to greet your parents?" His father grumbled and Eddie sighed inwardly.

"Sweetheart why are you dressed up?" His mother asked taking in his appearance.

"I've got dinner plans tonight." Eddie shrugged and tried to back away as his mother fussed with his hair.

"Oh? And who's the lucky lady?" She asked but his father simply scoffed. "No, you're just trying to get out of dealing with us huh?"

"Hey Eds? We gotta get going soon or we'll be late." Buck called out as he came around the corner and stopped as he looked at his parents. Eddie silently thanked Buck for his timing of coming around the corner.

"W-who is this?" Both parents said at the same time.

"Mom..pop...this is Buck." Eddie said as he motioned for Buck to come over, Buck taking a spot close to Eddie.

"Buck? Kind of a strange name." His father mumbled and Eddie bit the inside of his cheek.

"It's uh...it's actually Evan but everyone calls me Buck." Buck said smoothly as he held out a hand to Eddie's father who reluctantly shook his hand. Eddie's mother smiled politely and glanced between them.

"This is the young man you work with isn't it?"

"Yes, it is." Eddie said curtly getting a feeling that this conversation was about to go into a direction he didn't want.

"Isn't that against policies?" His father remarked.

"Actually as long as the captain clears it and feels it won't Impact your ability to do your job no it's not." Buck said with a shrug of his shoulder.

"Eddie I thought you were past this?" The man said ignoring Buck who felt Eddie tense next to him.

"I'm a grown man and I am not having this conversation with you, either of you right now." Eddie said clinching his jaw.

"We have talked about this before and we will again, I don't think it's fair to you or this family especially your so-"

"Sir with all due respect, if my father couldn't beat my bisexuality out of me growing up I don't think anyone will change it. For anyone. You can have all the conversations in the world but it won't change who you are as a person. It doesn't change anything about me, it doesn't change anything about Eddie. And it sure as hell doesn't change how great of a father he is to Christopher and I will have you know me and that boy get along beautifully so I don't think it really matters to him." Buck said as he placed a gentle hand on Eddie's shoulder as he spoke calmly. "Now it's great to meet you but it's our only day off and we have dinner reservations at 7:15 so we have to finish getting ready."

"I think it's time for us to go, we'll be at your abuela's but we will be seeing you soon Edmundo." His father said as he grabbed his mother's hand and they left. Eddie sighed as he leaned against the wall.

"Buck-"

"I'd prefer not to talk about it right now okay? Now can I please get out of this suit?" Buck groaned and Eddie couldn't stop the little laugh that escaped him.

"No can do Buck."

"What? Why?" He said confused.

"Because we actually have dinner reservations at 7:15. I'm driving." Eddie said as he walked away to retrieve his wallet and keys leaving Buck standing at the door, mouth open slightly and confusion setting in...was he going on an actual date with Eddie?

Buck sat there swishing the wine in his glass around slightly, he could feel Eddie's eyes on him.

"You're upset.."

"I...no I'm not I just kinda wish you would have told me this was an actual date before hand." Buck said looking up at Eddie.

"I mean I did. I wasn't lying when I told you what we were telling my parents."

"Yeah okay fair point, however I thought I was just being used as an alibi."

"Buck you'd never just be used as an alibi with me, you should know that by now man. But look if this bothers you too much we can go?" Eddie said and he couldn't help the bit of disappointment that crept into his features.

"What! No it's fine, it doesn't bother me Eddie. It's all good, we're good." Buck smiled that beautiful smile Eddie loved so much, and eyes fluttering as he looked across the table at Eddie. "Guess I'm just a bit surprised."

"Well don't be, I really like you okay? And so does Christopher." Eddie said as he took a drink and smiled and Buck's heart nearly exploded. He didn't see Eddie smile like that enough but it took his breath away every time he did.

Eddie went to say something else when his phone rang. "Hello?"

Eddie pulled the phone away from his ear for a moment, a momentary look of horror crossing his face before bringing the phone back to his ear.

"But-" Eddie stopped as he was cut off. "Cap come on nononono I don't need it off, neither of us do. Please call them back and say we're short staffed or something." Eddie pleaded and Buck looked at him, resting his chin on his hand.

"Fine...yeah...see you then." Eddie sighed and hung up as he muttered something in Spanish.

"Soooo..." Buck asked, brows raising a bit.

"They called Bobby." Eddie said miserably.

"Oh? And?"

"We now have tomorrow off, Jackson and Romero are filling in for us. Day after tomorrow Cap wants to talk to us first thing in the morning." Eddie said and Buck groaned.

"Shit.... okay. Okay wait....hang on I have a solution!" Buck said and Eddie's eyes lit up.

"Thank God.." Eddie exclaimed.

"It involves fire."

"Absolutely not?"

"Eds come on!"

"No Buck." Eddie shook his head incredibly. This was the guy he was in love with.

"Okay okay...what if I got stabbed? I'm still on blood thinners. Nothing major but like a shallow one?"

"Evan!" Eddie exclaimed and earned some looks from people at nearby tables.

"I'm joking don't get your panties twisted babe." Buck snorted as he took another drink and laughed a little.

"Hopefully tomorrow goes better than today did with them. Plus we'll have Christopher on our side, I dare them to try something with him there." Eddie said.

"True, he's a great kid man. You're a good Dad." Buck said smiling.

"So are you." Eddie said quietly and Buck dropped the glass in his hand, already profusely apologising to the waitress who came over and cleaned the glass.

"See this is why we can't have nice things Buckley. What am I going to do with you huh?" Eddie joked playfully. Buck smiled sheepishly, his smile faltering as he noticed the blood on his hand.

"Eddie...you still got that first aid kit in the truck?"

"Yeah why?" Eddie asked, not hiding the concern in his voice. Buck held up his hand showing him before grabbing a napkin and putting it to the cut.

Both men got up, Buck heading out to the truck and Eddie paying the bill before meeting Buck outside. The cut wasn't deep and they got the bleeding under control fairly quick but Eddie still kept asking if Buck felt okay.

"Eds I'm okay, it'll heal up in no time."

"I'm still going to worry Buck. Even before you were on thinners I worried. You sure you feel okay?" Eddie asked as he didn't move from where he stood in front of Buck who sat in the passenger seat sideways, legs hanging out the door.

"I'm fine Eddie...could use a kiss to make it better though." Buck mumbled as he glanced up at Eddie who laughed quietly as he leaned in and brushed his lips against Buck's gently, a hand resting on his jaw. Buck leaned forward a bit more deepening the kiss and both smiled as they broke away.

"Just to make it clear...we are dating now right?"

"Yeah Buck, we're most definitely dating now." Eddie said as he pecked Buck's lips again, arms wrapped around him.

"Ready to go home?" Eddie asked gently and Buck nodded as he hugged Eddie a little bit tighter.

"I already am though." Buck whispered in his ear and Eddie smiled.

Yeah...Eddie could definitely get use to this.

Sophie’s Hair Cut

“Hey Freeman?” Faye leaned down, gently touching Freeman’s arm. He opened his eyes.

“And I was just falling asleep too.” He stretched, smiling.

“Oh, I’m sorry! I should have let you sleep-”

“No, babe it’s okay.” Freeman wrapped his arm around her torso, pulling her down into his lap. “What’s up?”

“I...I’m taking Sophia to get her hair trimmed up. She’s really upset about her hair, I just want to try and make it look good enough for her standards. Us telling her she’s pretty anyway isn’t helping much. She brought it up again just this morning.” Freeman sighed.

“I swear, who would cut a kid’s hair like that? Sick-”

“Shh. She’s listening to you.” Faye’s eyes darted over to her daughter, who had her head turned slightly towards them, although her eyes were on the TV.

“Sophie Bug, come here.” Freeman extended his arm, motioning Sophia to come to him. She looked at him with sad eyes, but got up and walked over to the two of them.He grabbed her hand with the one that wasn’t around Faye and looked her deep in the eye.

“Sophia, are you unhappy with your hair?” She nodded. He looked at Faye, who was looking at her daughter in concern.

“Baby, you know you’re gorgeous no matter how short your hair is right?”

“It’s boy hair.” She protested, wiping a tear away.

“No. it’s Sophie hair. And your hair doesn’t make you pretty or ugly. This does.” He pointed to her heart. “You’re a nice, caring, wonderful little girl, and your mother, sister, and I love you very much for it. That’s what makes you pretty, bug.” Faye couldn’t help but smile. Sophia’s little mouth was fighting a smile too, but as Freeman tickled her, she burst into giggles.

“Daddy’s right, baby. The length of your hair doesn’t mean anything. We would love you if your hair was as long as Rapunzels or gone completely. I’m only taking you to the salon to trim it up a little, okay?” Sophia nodded. Freeman pulled her in to a three way hug, squeezing both girls tightly before letting them go.

“You guys leaving now?” Faye pulled out her cell phone, checking the time.

“Yeah. Her appointment is in a few minutes. It’s just down the road, so we won’t be too long.” Freeman stood up to give her a quick kiss and leaned down to kiss Sophia on the forehead.

“Can’t wait to see you kiddo.” Faye put a sweater on Sophia and threw one on herself, waving goodbye to Freeman and kissing Amora on the cheek before heading out.

Sophia looked down at the ground as they walked. She refused to look up, and Faye saw her daughter wipe a few tears from her eyes. Before they walked into the salon, Faye knelt down to look Sophia in the eye.

“Baby, if you don’t want a haircut, you don’t have to get one.” Sophia hesitated, her eyes sliding to the salon door.

“I don’t like my hair anymore.”

“I know, sweetheart. All they’re going to do is straighten it up a bit. It’ll grow back soon, you’ll see.” Sophia looked at her. Faye’s heart broke for her daughter-an innocent five-year-old whose innocence had been ripped away by Aida. After all Faye had been through as a child, she wanted to shield Sophia from how cruel the world could be as long as possible. She never imagined five years would be the limit. Sophia looked tired, sad, and matured beyond her years, all because someone thought it was a good idea to take two little girls from their parents at the park. Faye placed a kiss on her daughter’s forehead, lingering there for a moment, hugging Sophia close to her.

“I wanna do it mommy.” Sophia finally said, pulling away and looking up at the sign hanging outside the door. “I can do it.” Faye smiled at her daughter.

“You’re so brave. I’ll be right next to you, okay? I’m not leaving.” Sophia nodded, taking Faye’s hand as they walked into the salon.

Sophia went rigid as soon as they walked in. The strong scent of hair products and shampoo hit them, the sound of buzzers gliding across hair and scissors snipping it away could be heard. Faye squeezed Sophia’s hand, walking her up to the counter.

“We have an appointment. Sophia Ross.” She told the receptionist, who typed the name into the computer.

“Right on time! Let’s lead you back!” Sophia’s hand gripped Faye’s tightly as they walked back. Faye squeezed it back, trying to be reassuring. When they reached the chair, Faye picked up Sophia and looked at her before putting her in the chair.

“You okay baby?”

“Uh huh.” She could see Sophia was nervous, but she just chalked it up to Sophia being nervous about her hair and how it would look. She didn’t anticipate her daughter to break down into sobs as soon as the scissors came close to her head. She didn’t expect Sophia to start screaming and scrambling to get off of the chair. She didn’t expect Sophia to cling to her so tightly Faye was sure her daughter had welded herself onto her. Sophia’s breathing was accelerated, coming in short gasps. Her heart was beating out of her tiny chest. Everyone in the salon was looking.

“Sophie! What’s wrong?” Sophia only shook her head, sobbing and hyperventilating. Faye picked her up and quickly took her out into the lobby. The receptionist handed her a bottle of water, but it wasn’t much help when Sophia couldn’t control her breathing.

“Baby, shhh, it’s okay. You’re okay.”

“I...I w-w-want D-da-dd-y.” Sophia choked out, barely able to speak. Faye held her daughter close to her as she picked up the phone and quickly called Freeman.

“Does she look gorgeous?” Freeman’s cheerful voice answered.

“You need to come down here.”

“What happened?” Freeman’s voice had quickly shifted to panic.

“I don’t know! She was sitting in the chair, and as soon as the scissors got close to her, she freaked out. I can’t calm her down. She wants you.”

“I’ll be right there.” Freeman hung up the phone without another word.

After ten minutes, Sophia had calmed down some, but she took deep shuddering breaths. Faye had gotten her to drink some water, but she still wanted Freeman.

“He’s coming baby.” She kissed the top of Sophia’s head, looking up to see Freeman come through the door.

“Daddy!” Sophia tore herself out of Faye’s arms, to her dismay, and dove into Freeman’s. She was sobbing again and he was doing his best to console her. Faye stood, crossing her arms over her body. She watched as Freeman smoothed Sophia’s hair, kissed her, held her tightly to him. When she had calmed down again, he picked her up and stood, looking at Faye. She must have been making a face, because confusion crossed his. She shook her head, clearing it and passing the intrusive thoughts off as her being overly exhausted.

“Sorry, I’m just concerned.” In reality, she was slightly hurt that she wasn’t able to calm her own daughter down. Insecurity seemed to get the better of her these days. Freeman held his free hand out, inviting her to take it. She did, bringing herself close to him for comfort.

“Do you guys need anything?” The receptionist asked quietly behind them. Faye had forgotten the entire salon was still there.

“Oh my gosh, I’m so sorry. No, we’re fine, thank you. For everything. I’m so sorry to have caused a scene.” She looked at Sophia, who was looking at her. “She’s scared.”

“Oh no, you’re fine. In fact…” The receptionist hurried behind the desk and emerged with a sucker, bringing it to Sophia.

“Wanna grab one for Momo too?” Faye asked her. Sophia nodded, so the receptionist ran and grabbed another one.

“If you want to reschedule, just give us a call, okay?” Faye nodded again, turning to follow Freeman out of the door. She helped Sophia unwrap the sucker and gave it back to her, putting the one for Amora in her pocket.

“Are you alright Sophie?” Freeman asked her. Sophia shrugged, the sucker sticking out of her mouth. Freeman looked at Faye, passing a silent understanding that they needed to talk once she was asleep later.

Faye knew what he was going to say. He had proposed therapy when Sophia woke up screaming the night before. After her own experience with therapists after her parents had died, she was hesitant to send her daughter to the same thing. She had hated every second of them. But looking up at Sophia, she wondered too if it was the right choice.
