AN: Here is a little TEVAN father's day story I came up with. Yes it puts reference to Eddie and Rocker (Rockie maybe). I also did some research and a person with CP can drive if they have a modified car. They can also get a pilot's license which I'm thinking about doing for a future story. Christopher's age is 16 in this. I also picked out some names that would fit with the kids. I have this thing that were on S.W.A.T. Rocker is always teasing Deacon that it's this friendship thing and Rocker did tell Tan in season 5 that the 50 Squad looked up or respected the 20 squad during that talk. I also will never be able to shake that after the story I wrote with them.
AN2: Anyways, I also picked Erica cause she had been on 50 squad before she was murdered. I saw the episode yesterday and the talk that Hondo and Rocker had so went with the name for his daughter with what got said. She was part of his squad. Also, Daniel for Buck's brother that died and Wade because that is Bobby's middle name according to Wiki. Evani is of course for Buck's first name Evan. Thomas is Tommy's first name. I did Donnalyn because I couldn't think of anything cool for first name for girl going with Rocker. He honestly doesn't feel like his first name is what it is. Only Mumford ever called him that once so in this it's his middle name as usual.
Summary: Buck and Tommy have some time with their children and thinking about their family.
Title: Dad, Daddy Tevan
Buck kept looking at the little boy laying in the crib. His little boy that was at the moment sleeping. He couldn't believe that he had another son. Christopher might not be his blood, but he was his. He was also like a third dad to Eddie and Rocker's twins Evani Erica, who had been named after him and someone that had killed years ago that had been on Rocker's team. Then there was David Thomas, who had been named after a friend of Rocker's and Tommy. Though everyone besides his wife called him Deacon. The twins were six months old now and he knew they would all be close. It was kind of like sibling cousins because of how they were as a family.
Now, he had another little one. Daniel Wade Buckley-Kinard. He'd asked Tommy if he wanted to pick a name too, but his husband had told him the names were perfect. Daniel after his big brother that had died. Wade because that was Bobby's middle name, the man that was the closest thing he had to a real father. His biological one hadn't even called. He'd thought that after the rough times they would be okay, but he should have known it wouldn't last. They hadn't called or texted since he'd sent the wedding invitation.
They had tolerated him being with Tommy, but the second they realized it wasn't some phase they had been done. Maddie hadn't even needed to tell him they weren't going to come. He hadn't even bothered sending them anything when Daniel had been born. He hadn't felt some need to give Tommy and his son grandparents when he already had a set that loved their son so much. He didn't see why they should be in his life to possibly try poising the little boy. He never wanted his son to feel unwanted or unloved. Bobby and Athena were great grandparents to Daniel. The little boy had plenty of uncles and aunts that loved him as well.
Daniel slowly blinked his eyes open looking up at his daddy. Buck smiled down at him before he carefully picked him up. He had been debating on doing that while he'd been standing there, but hadn't wanted to wake him up doing it. He couldn't get over how he had another child. He loved his son and had waited years for another one. He couldn't wait to hear his first words, watch him crawl, walk. He just hoped that went slowly and not rushing by like felt like the last eight had with Christopher.
He checked Daniel's diaper to make sure that wasn't a problem. Daniel wasn't crying, but he was getting a little grumpy. Buck changed the diaper because it was damp before he went to the kitchen. He already had bottles made up so he just needed to heat them in the bottle warmer. He tested it to be sure before going towards the bedroom. He had another week before he had to go back to work full time. He'd taken the time off enjoying it with his son.
He hadn't been alone since Tommy had gotten the time off too. Though they had done it in a way that Tommy still had another two weeks before he had to go back after he went back the following week. The first two months Daniel wasn't going to be at daycare or something. Though he knew that they had family that would watch their son. Buck got in the room finding that his husband was already sitting up in the bed.
"Your dad's awake too, just like we are." Buck said getting on the bed after he handed the bottle to Tommy. "I promise I didn't wake him up this time. I was only watching him sleep." He said.
"I didn't say a word." Tommy said with a smile. He knew that his husband had a tendency of trying to pick up their son while he slept. He got it, he may have done it a few times his self. Evan just didn't know about that.
"Good, because I would only tell you that I know all about you doing it too." Buck said with a smirk. "What, Maddie told me how you called her because Daniel wouldn't stop crying the other day." Buck said. He'd been having lunch with Christopher and Eddie plus the twins since Rocker had been at work. His husband had told him to go have some fun for the day, they would be okay.
"You know, she's not supposed to sell me out. She's my sister too." Tommy said shaking his head. He put his arm around Evan watching their son as he drank his early morning breakfast.
"Yes, but see you're usually the one that can get Daniel to sleep when no one else can. That time even you couldn't so she couldn't resist since I may have called you the baby whisperer and she said even they can't always get one to sleep." Buck explained leaning his head against Tommy's.
"You can't blame me, our son is adorable like his daddy is." Tommy said. He had known Maddie was off for the day. He would have called his brother, but he'd been working. There had been no way he was calling Howie or Hen. They'd never let him live it down since he was unflappable as Evan said all the time.
"He is going to be as cool as his dad too. Do anything, he puts his mind too." Buck said with a content sigh watching their son.
There was no doubt in Tommy's mind that it would be true. They had created the little boy together. He hadn't expected to be a dad years ago, he hadn't thought about it until he married Evan. He was a stepdad to Christopher sure and he wasn't sure what Evani and David might call him. Evan kept telling them to say Uncle/Dad Buck all the time. He was sure his husband wanted to have his name be the first ones out of their mouths. It was funny though because Rocker kept trying to get them to say daddy first. There might even be a bet going about that. He might have a side one that they'd say something else first. Rocker was going to get him he was sure if he found out.
He still remembered coming home and finding his husband in the kitchen pacing back and forth. A clipboard in his hand swearing the place was a death trap. Eddie had been trying to take the clipboard away and get Evan to sit down, but he wasn't listening. He had thought maybe the social worker had called about a placement. They had signed up to be foster parents and then adopt. It had been what Evan had wanted and he couldn't deny the man he loved that. He had wanted it too. He'd had his brother growing up and knew at least one person loved him. He wanted to give that to a child or two.
Then Evan had started crying and that had scared him because he knew he'd gone to the doctor after he couldn't stop throwing up. He'd wrapped Evan in a hug telling him it would be okay. Whatever was wrong they would get through it. It was when 'I'm pregnant' had come out. He knew it was possible for it to happen. After all he'd been the one that found out Eddie was pregnant before he'd broken the news to his husband, who was his twin brother. That might have been slightly funny at the time. Though watching his husband scared that something would go wrong hadn't been. Of course, since Eddie had been six months pregnant at the time he'd been crying too before it was over. He'd been hugging them both trying to convince them it was going to be alright.
"I just hope that he grows up slow." Tommy said breaking the silence. "That they both do." He added as the crying sound started over the baby monitor. "I'll get her." He said getting out of the bed going to the nursery. "Hey, Donnalyn, it's okay, daddy's got you." Tommy said picking her up cradling her.
It had been a surprise when Evan had said he felt like he had to push again. The whole nine months Daniel had been hiding his little sister. Which was kind of ironic since he'd done the same with Rocker. He had been okay with Evan picking their son's names, but he'd picked their daughter's names. He knew that Rocker wasn't a fan of his first name. His ex-wife had ruined that along with their parents. He always went by his middle name, but he hadn't been able to think of something that was close to Rocker, so he'd gone with Donnalyn.
It had been funny when Evan had asked him where he'd thought of it from. The glare from Rocker had been hilarious too. Eddie's reply to it had been, yeah never call him by his first name. That's a fast way to get no sex. He hadn't cared he wanted his daughter to have the name because his brother meant everything to him. Rocker had gotten him through a lot those days he just didn't want to. He'd been the one sitting beside his bed when he'd woken up after the gas explosion years ago. The one he shouldn't have survived if Howie hadn't gotten him out of it. His former captain sure hadn't thought anything of it. Now he had more people in his life that loved him. Bobby and Athena hadn't just accepted him as a son, his brother was like another one to them too.
Tommy made his way back to the bedroom with Donna because that was what Evan kept calling her. He said Donalyn was a mouth full. He may have comment that he was too which had gotten this dopey look on Evan's face. The reply had been Evan's usual, 'and you're a beast'. Thankfully even after three years no one knew about that nickname. He had gotten the bottle to fed her before he'd come back here. Evan was talking to their son who was barely keeping his eyes open.
"Our little boy's fighting sleep. He wanted to see his sister before he went back to sleep, I think." Buck said as Tommy got on the bed. "Even if he can't see but ten inches away right now. You know babies only see in black and white at first. It takes up to four weeks to fully develop. They are only three days old right now." He said giving facts that he'd looked up. He had said them many times before though.
"I don't have to worry about looking it up with my husband being full of interesting facts." Tommy said leaning in giving Evan a kiss.
He still found it amazing what Evan could memorize from the research he did. He'd gotten asked once didn't he find it annoying that Evan would spit out facts that no one really needed to know. He'd looked at the person like they were crazy before he'd told them something. Evan had been the one that told him the fun fact, but it had shut the person up. They hadn't made any other comments about his husband after that. The person hadn't known the answer, which they should have since they were a first responder. He might have told them to go read a manual.
"I know that these two are going to be happy, healthy, and never doubt any kind of love." Buck said holding their son's little hand. "With Christopher and Rocker, they may become epic pranksters as well." He added with a laugh.
"Don't forget yourself, Evan." Tommy said giving him a look. "Who was it that started the last prank war?" He asked.
Buck looked anywhere, but at Tommy because his husband was right. He might have been the one that put purple Kool-Aid mix in the shower head when he knew Rocker was going to shower. Eddie hadn't suspected a thing when he'd said he was going to the bathroom. The website had said red, but that might bring some horrible memories up with red being like blood so he'd gone with grape Kool-Aid. He was still waiting for retaliation since at the time he'd been six months pregnant. He might have forgotten about it until Tommy brought it up. Which meant now that he'd had Daniel and Donna there was a chance Rocker was going to get revenge finally.
"These two will be on my side when they are older, Christopher too. That will be four against one." Buck said.
"You are forgetting he has twins plus, last time Christopher helped get you." Tommy reminded Evan.
"Which I still called foul on, Christopher is mine too and should help me first." Buck pouted.
"He plays both sides, he's smart." Tommy said bringing Donna up to burp her. "He said having four dads were the best thing in the world." He smiled at that.
He had gotten Christopher's help when he'd planned on asking Evan to marry him. Christopher had also helped when Eddie had proposed to his brother. His proposal had been a scavenger hunt for Evan. A ton of fun facts that had finally led him to harbor, beside the helicopter they'd first met. The entire 118 had been in on it. Three days ago they had all been there when Evan had gone into labor. He'd been on one side and Eddie had been on the other. It had been Evan in the room when Eddie had been giving birth. He had gone to S.W.A.T. HQ to get his brother. He'd been on duty at the time so he'd gotten permission from his captain to fly the helicopter to where Rocker had been. Eddie had gone into labor early and his brother had been on a raid with the FBI.
"These two might consider Eddie and Rocker that or really cool uncles." Buck said.
They did live right beside his best friend and brother in-law. He was sure that their kids were going to be over at each other's houses all the time. Christopher did go back and forth a lot. They had a room for him in the house for nights he wanted to stay over. He was happy that Eddie had finally found someone that could make him happy again. He knew his best friend had struggled for years after he'd lost Shannon. Now, looking at him you couldn't tell even though he knew he still held love for the woman, it wasn't drowning him. Rocker had pulled him out of that.
"I don't mind sharing; I already share you." Tommy said.
He had accepted that years ago when he'd met Evan that he'd be sharing him with Eddie and Christopher. He'd gotten pulled into that family and he'd brought Rocker into it too. If his kids wanted to have special label for Eddie and his brother then that was fine with him. He loved this family and being a dad. He had gotten help from Rocker modifying a car that fit Christopher's needs to be able to drive. Christopher had gone to Evan with the fear, he wouldn't be able to drive. Evan had come to him after he'd done research on it. Someone with CP could drive if the car was modified to their needs. It had led them both asking Eddie if they could fix one if he'd agree to let Christopher drive. He hadn't saw anything wrong with it, though Rocker had been the one that helped Evan teach Christopher to drive. Eddie had been too nervous to do it. They had surprised Christopher with the car on his birthday this past year.
Buck smiled looking at their son then their little girl. They were both healthy and happy as could be. Both were sound asleep in their arms. He thought about something that Bobby had told him years ago. One day he'd feel settled in life, he had thought he felt that way when he'd married Tommy. Now, he felt it more having their children and being a dad again. He just wanted to sit there in their bed with the twins and Tommy next to him. He was as close as he could get to his husband at the moment. He loved their life and he wouldn't mind expanding the family later on.
"You know, we're still going to foster if a child needs it." Buck said.
"Didn't doubt it." Tommy replied knowing that Evan had plenty of love in his heart for every child out there that could need a home.
