I Own Nothing only the idea because seriously Tommy/Rocker being twins and dating/married to Buck/Eddie is awesome.
AN: I wrote this after I wrote the Dad, Daddy Tevan story, but I thought of it while writing that one when I picked the names for Eddie/Rocker's twins. I am so sorry that this became a tear jerker while writing. I blame watching the episode after Erika was killed yesterday. Dear crap I watched the episode because Rocker was in it and I didn't think was going to be that brutal. I do have to say I wanted more, but I was so damn proud that he didn't do the blame game. That's totally not him and that episode proved how freaking awesome he is. What he told Hondo about Erika and tried get him not to spiral even though clearly he was. I haven't watched all the episodes, been going through and only watching ones knew he was in so going to start back season 3 soon and see them in order so maybe know more about Erika then, but the ones I did see her in she was kick ass so through that in here too. So please don't come for me there are happy in this too. Buck and Tommy aren't in here, but are mentioned
Summary: Eddie and Rocker not long after Eddie had their twins. There is mention of past character death so be warned.
Title: Dad, Daddy Rockie
Eddie was glad that Tommy could fly a helicopter because he'd gone and gotten his husband two hours ago when he'd gone into labor. It was supposed to have been more time, but their twins decided that they were coming then. They were healthy and happy because the doctor had checked them over. Rocker had been on the other side of the area helping the FBI with a raid. Tommy had gotten permission, this time, to go get him once they had gotten word it was safe to do so. Buck had been there with him and still had been even when Rocker got there. He had refused to do it without his husband and best friend. Buck had three months to go give or take until he was having his own little one.
He was kind of getting a free show at the moment with his husband holding their daughter. The whole skin to skin contact helping babies thing had Rocker without his shirt on. His husband was good looking without one on or with one. He could easily get turned on with the S.W.A.T. gear as well. Which Rocker thought he was hot in the firefighter gear too. Who knew it might have been how they conceived their twins. He was holding their son in the same way. They were both content at the moment. It was kind of hard to believe that three years back he'd been trying to stay a float when he'd met Rocker. He had thought his husband was Tommy for a moment, but it had been strange since he felt no attraction to Tommy.
Their son and daughter who were named Evani Erika and David Thomas Kinard-Diaz were added with Christopher now. They had gone back and forth on names since they hadn't known if it would be two boys or girls. It had been one of each though and he was happy. They had a little girl who he was sure that Maddie, Hen, Karen, May, Carla, Athena, and Jee would want to spoil. There was also the possibility Buck would too. He already did that for Christopher now. It wasn't in a bad way. His best friend and Tommy had asked him months ago about getting Chris a car. He had been worried, but he hadn't cared if they did it. Though when it had gotten finished thanks to Tommy and Rocker both making the modifications it needed he had let his husband and best friend do the teaching. He might have joked he would go into early labor if he did it.
Eddie watched his son as he gave a little yawn still looking at him. From Buck's facts and some he knew it would be a little before David would be able to see more than black and white. Also take few weeks before he could see across the room. He knew that their son was named after Deacon who worked with Rocker, his first name was actually David which only his wife called him. The middle name was Tommy's first name which was Thomas. He'd picked the first name of their daughter Evani cause it was close to his best friend's first name. He hadn't wanted anything long or hard to say. He just hadn't been sure where Erika had come from. It hadn't been on their list to start with, but today when Rocker had been handed their daughter and the nurse had asked about a name it had been Evani Erika. He hadn't objected to it because it had fit.
"You two doing okay over there?" Eddie asked shifting David to his other arm.
"Yeah, she's so little. I know I won't break her, but kind of feels like I might." Rocker said with a smile. "You want to hold her? I can take David for a little while." He offered.
He hadn't let go of Evani since the nurse had brought her back. He was still waiting to wake up from this dream of having not only her, but a son and husband. Two sons because Christopher was his stepson, but he never treated him like that. He treated him like he was his own. He had adopted him when he'd married Eddie. He had asked Eddie and Buck first though not sure if Buck had or wanted to even if he wasn't married to Eddie.
He'd also asked Christopher before he'd gotten the papers. He wanted to know what his son thought. He wanted him to be happy and not forced into something. Christopher had a ton of questions, but he'd answered them and so had Eddie and Buck. Christopher had come by S.W.A.T. one day wanting to see him to give him the answer. Eddie had brought him but had stayed outside like he'd been asked to do. Their son had wanted to do it on his own. After Christopher and Eddie had left he'd gone to personal changing some paperwork. He'd already added a letter to his locker when he'd realized he loved Eddie and Christopher.
"Yes, I have been holding David hostage too." Eddie said with a smile before he carefully placed their son into the basinet because he didn't want to drop him if they couldn't make the trade right. "They are so little and look fragile. I was terrified of hurting Christopher the few times I got to hold him this little."
He knew he'd been running back then, making excuses. He wasn't going to do it this time. He was going to be there for every moment he could. He took hold of their daughter as Rocker placed her in his arms. She was smaller than David, but the nurse had said she might out grow him one day. He just hoped his twins would be best friends and they knew they were always loved. It was what scared him a lot that he might fail them like he'd done Christopher. Though he had Rocker, plus Buck and Tommy. The 118 family and some of the S.W.A.T. members too.
"We did survive Maddie's baby lessons with no problems. I'm sure we can get through this with no issues." Rocker said picking up their son and holding David against his chest.
"She's not as bad as Buck was, he baby proofed everything. He put a lock on our diaper genie. I couldn't even get the thing open." Eddie said shaking his head. "Should make his six month pregnant butt change the diapers since he did it." He smiled.
"You are only trying to get out changing diapers, but it's not happening. If I'm doing it so are you, Eddie Diaz-Kinard." Rocker said giving his husband a look.
"Fine, but if he locks the cookie cabinet again you might have to help me hide a body." Eddie said laughing.
Rocker shook his head because he remembered that night when he'd walked in with Eddie and Buck glaring at each other. He'd gotten a text from Tommy telling him their husbands were in some kind of death glaring contest. All he'd gotten out of them was about a lock on cookies before he'd had to leave for an emergency work call out. He had stopped and picked Eddie's favorite cookies up. When he'd handed them over to Eddie his husband had left the kitchen clutching them to his chest threatening anyone that touched them.
He'd given Buck the stare that could usually get some suspects talking, but the man had glared right back at him with his arms crossed. He'd wanted to know where his cookies were at because they couldn't get into the cabinet. Buck had baby proofed the thing so well that he couldn't even get it open. So, he'd gone over and got it open for all their sanity. It had turned out that the problem had been that when Buck had reattached the knob that fell off he'd gotten super glue on the cabinet door. It had taken him some time to get the thing unglued.
Afterwards he'd found both pregnant best friends on the couch with milk and cookies watching the fast and furious movies. Which had led to them both crying because it was the last one Paul Walker was in. Tommy had found all three of them in the bed the next morning because Buck refused to go home and sleep alone. By the time he'd woken up his brother had been asleep with Buck curled up against him. Hadn't been the first or last time the four them had shared a bed.
"I don't think he meant to super glue it, but Tommy hide it from him so we don't have to worry about that happening again." Rocker said sitting on the hospital bed as Eddie moved over as far as the guard rail would let him.
"I might have told him if he didn't hide it then I'd use it on Buck and they wouldn't be able to have fun together." Eddie grinned.
He wouldn't actually do that to his best friend and Tommy, but it had gotten the message across. He'd said the same thing when Buck brought the clipboard over. It was hilarious how Tommy might love Clipboard Buck who was his husband, but his own could be terrorized by Buck with a clipboard. He still remembered the first time Rocker had met that version of his best friend. There had been talk about arresting Buck and putting him in a holding cell if he ever got a hold of a clipboard again. Eddie didn't even know what had happened, but Tommy had sore it wouldn't happen again. Buck however had asked if Tommy could join him in that cell. The reply had been to get a hold of another clipboard and find out. Eddie knew there hadn't been any actual anger there, but he knew how bad Buck was with a clipboard.
"I still owe him for the dang grape Kool-Aid stunt, so you help me and I'll help you." Rocker said. "When these two are older they can help me plot against their uncle too." He added.
"I still can't believe he did it. I should have known something was up, but I thought he left the mix on the counter before he went to the bathroom." Eddie replied with a laugh. "Evani, David, your Uncle and Daddy are in this prank war thing. It's been happening for three years. Your Uncle Tommy and I have to keep calling time out to it. Your brother helps both sides, which is funny. Cause see your Uncle Buck pouts every time Christopher helps your daddy." He explained placing a kiss on top their daughters head.
"Yes and every time I'm about to win your dad pulls out the white flag. I'm still thinking of an idea. Three more months and I can get my revenge." Rocker said. "Just glad he didn't use red."
He didn't really have nightmares anymore since he'd married Eddie, but some things could be triggering. Having water that looked like blood spraying him was for sure something that might have done it. He'd had that happen before, but hadn't been Kool-Aid and he hadn't been in a shower. He didn't want to think about that though while he was holding their son. He had been shocked when the lead FBI agent had said he needed to go.
They'd done the raid and gotten it done, cleared the place and all the suspects accounted for. He had come outside finding one of his guys telling him that the helicopter was waiting on him. He needed him to get on it. He'd left his second in command in charge of the rest and he'd gotten in the chopper. The second he'd seen Tommy he knew what was going on. Eddie was in labor early.
He had been about to panic since it was early, but when he'd put the head set on Tommy told him it was going to be fine. Then he'd taken off landing on the hospital landing pad a short time later. It would have taken thirty or so minutes to get there by vehicle. They'd gotten there in five in time for him to make it to the room as their daughter was being born. The nurse had handed her over and he'd known that Eddie wanted her first name to be Evani. He hadn't cared as long as it wasn't Buckett which Buck had been teasing them with for months. Then the nurse had been asking if they had picked a middle name. He had thought they wouldn't get asked til later about that. He'd remembered Eddie saying that Chimney and Maddie hadn't picked one right off.
He'd heard Buck and Tommy talking about Buck's dead brother and naming their son that when he was born. It had been that morning he'd heard them talking before he'd left. It was when he'd come up with the idea of a middle name. He just hadn't had a chance to run it by Eddie. They'd talked about David and Thomas being the first and middle names for their son. He missed Deacon being at S.W.A.T. but he still talked to him. Though Deacon had still been shocked when he'd told him what he was naming his son.
He respected his friend even if he had teased him over the years. He'd talked to him three years back when he'd first met Eddie. Looking at his son he hoped he didn't screw anything up. His own parents sucked and he knew he in a way had Bobby and Athena since he'd married Eddie. He'd still asked Deacon if Annie and he would like that role of grandparents to the twins. He'd sworn he didn't think he was actually over any hill. He just wanted his kids to have someone else to look up to who he admired and respected. He still at times asked Deacon for advice or if he could have done something different.
There had been close calls over the years for everyone at S.W.A.T., but the one that kind of haunted him when he let his self think about it was the one he'd named his daughter after. Deacon had done the same with his oldest daughter, but that had been different since it had been a teenager. He'd lost a team member even if he hadn't been there that day. He kept it buried and didn't think about it until now. When he'd been holding their daughter it had brought those memories back of asking Hicks if he could have Erika. He'd wanted her on his squad, she'd been damn good. Chris had pushed for Mumford to get her before he'd retired if she made it and the first chance he'd had he'd taken it to get her on his squad as 58 David. He'd wanted Chris on the team too, but she'd turned them down. Erika had talked about kids some day and she wouldn't get that chance.
"Hey, baby. Are you okay?" Eddie asked shifting some so he could see his husband better. "We're okay, all three of us are okay. I know probably was scary earlier Tommy being there and flying you here. Then everything happening so quick was you were here." He said reaching over wiping the tears away from Rocker's face. "I was crying earlier too, about broke yours and Buck's hands."
"Sorry, my mind went somewhere else." Rocker said moving David closer. "It's not all that, though did scare the hell out me. I was thinking about someone. She wasn't just part of my team, everybody at S.W.A.T. loved her. She was damn good at her job too. When had the chance I got Hicks to approve her being on my squad. She could be funny too and a good friend. She always asked a lot of questions and wanted to improve. She got killed on an op when she'd been with another squad for a shift. The news broke the story pretty damn fast, it's how I found out. Hondo tore his self up trying to figure if something could have been different. I always have envied how his squad is, but was first time I was relieved it wasn't mine. I shoved the memories away and did what always did. Tried to be the best I could. There was no use blaming Hondo, he was already killing his self over it. So told him to keep his head up. It was only thing could do told him she admired him, which she did. She wanted to be a sergeant someday. Have her own team. I told her same thing Mumford told me, you can do anything as long as you put your mind to it and push yourself. I also told her don't let anyone ever tell her she couldn't do something because she had different parts." Rocker said finally taking a breath.
"Erika, I'm guessing that was her name?" Eddie asked looking at their daughter before getting a nod from his husband. "I'm sorry baby. You are right not trying to put the blame on anyone besides the ones that actually killed her. I was in war zones over seas and few felt like them on calls before. You throw blame on someone and not understand how it was in that moment. Those moments can't be relived."
"We did eventually get them all, but always people out there like that. The only part that scares me about our kids being out in the real world. Always someone that is going to hate, but they have a ton that are going to love them." Rocker said. "Buck already tried taking our daughter once."
"Which you didn't dare let go of her. She's going have you wrapped around her finger in no time. I'll end up having to be the bad parent. Either that or we get Buck and Tommy to just do all the talking to. I already do that with Christopher. Though when comes to sex talk we might have to go to Maddie or one of the other females. I'm out of my depth on that. I made Buck give it to Christopher both times."
Rocker couldn't help but laugh because he had witnessed a few of those talks over the last three years. Tommy had told him about the second sex talk. His brother had been there for it and there had been bananas, zucchini and cucumbers involved he'd been told. He had held onto Evani when Buck had demanded her. He'd let his brother in-law hold her later. He had just wanted to hang onto his little girl for a while longer.
"Thanks, I needed that. I'll be nice in the morning and let him hold her." Rocker said.
"I'll save you from him if you're worried about hormonal Buck. All we gotta do is get Tommy to take his shirt off and he'll say yes to anything right now." Eddie said with his own laugh. "Same way I was at six months with you. Though you shirtless right now is doing things too."
Rocker shook his head remembering three months back when Eddie was always horny. He'd fallen asleep at his desk. He hadn't planned on doing it, but he'd been exhausted. His team had been on stand by so he'd gone in to do some paperwork. He'd woken up to find Hondo sitting on the other side of the desk trying not to laugh. Hondo had of course failed miserably at it when he'd glared at him. The exact words had been, so it's six months into the pregnancy right? Followed by might want to take as many naps as you can. He hadn't even realized he'd crashed out for an hour until he'd seen his watch.
"How long do we have to wait until we can again?" Rocker asked because his husband holding their child was kind of hot too.
"Six weeks, but when these two are home and sleeping we can always do other things." Eddie replied
He was hoping that they would be the ones that slept through the night. Though if he was hoping that he might fail at getting that wish. He didn't care though he loved the twins and would do anything for them. He had updated his will the year before and again the week before. He still had Buck as Christopher's legal guardian. That hadn't changed and it never would. He'd had that talk with Rocker before they got married when he'd asked to adopt Christopher.
He'd put in it for Tommy and Buck to take care of Rocker and their kids. If anything did happen he knew his husband was going to need that support. He knew about Rocker's will and the letter in his locker at work. He had four already, but he'd added two more when he'd passed the six month mark. He hadn't known for sure on the names then, but he'd update that soon enough.
He moved so he was sitting as close to his husband as he could in the bed. It wasn't big at all and with them both being built there wasn't much room. Though they managed it and he leaned against Rocker holding their daughter who he knew one day would be told about where she got her names from. The same with their son. They were named after four really great people. He was glad that Bobby and Athena hadn't died on cruise ship that went down and it sucked for the ones that did. He wouldn't know his husband if it hadn't happened. If Tommy hadn't been there to fly the helicopter. If Chimney hadn't saved him. Rocker might not even be the same person if he'd lost his brother. He wasn't sure where he'd be now if he didn't have the man he loved. He let out a yawn not meaning to, but he was tired.
"Get some sleep, baby. If they need feeding before you wake up I'll get the nurse to help." Rocker said carefully taking Erka in his other arm.
He might have practiced the movie a few times thanks to Maddie and Annie's baby drills. He had at least won that against Hondo when he'd been in on one of them. He had also gotten the win on Buck. Though Tommy had gotten the win over him. He hadn't tried it against Eddie though, no way was he going to do that. He already knew his husband could pin him down on a mat. Not that he had anything against that. He'd actually thought it might have been him that got pregnant first instead of Eddie.
"Love you three." Eddie said shifting in the bed so he could get sort of comfortable. He would be glad when they were in their own though.
"We love you too." Rocker said back.
He was already thinking about finding a cot and putting it beside the bed so could sleep with more room for them. It might be possible, but their bed would be better at home. He wasn't tired at the moment so he kept holding their twins watching them and Eddie sleep. He'd already asked Hicks for a few weeks off. He wanted to be there for Eddie, Evani and David. He needed to do the paperwork tomorrow for today, but that wouldn't take that long. He'd already picked who he wanted being in charge til he got back.
THE END
EN: Thanks in advance for reviews and kudos. Hope that you aren't too emotional right now. I am sorry I didn't mean to go this dark in the happiness of birth. Love me some Rockie.
