Summary
Buck held the little plastic bird close in front of his eyes, twisting it back and forth.
“You can say it, Buck,” Eddie encouraged, quietly. “To put it out there in… the universe. And you’ll see her tomorrow, anyway.”
“I think…” Buck took a huge breath, breathing deep into his chest, past the hurt, past the hard rock of anxiety that sat at its center, past the tears welling in his eyes; he aimed all of it back out, straight into the heart of the deep, deep universe.
“I think I met my daughter tonight.”
or;
A work of fate or God or man or the universe crosses the paths of Buck and a small, green-eyed girl with a bird in her palm and the future in her snaggle-toothed grin. Two and a half years after the events of Lighthouse, the Diazes become the Diazes.

Summary
“I’m not going to dignify a single word of that with a response. But you’ve made yourself clear. I’ll give you this, though, Ramón: you were right about one thing: I do have to be the man of the house. And-- as such-- you raised me to do at least one thing right: when a man talks about my family like that, they are no longer welcome in mine.”
“Eddie--” Helena cut in.
“Get out,”” Eddie growled at the both of them. “And don’t come back.”
or;
almost a year after the events of Lighthouse, Buck and Eddie host the Diaz parents, planning to reveal the truth of their relationship. Missteps are made, miscommunications abound, and things go just about as well as either one of them really expected.

Summary
Buck had lost-- he was sure of this now. His resolve only lasted a few weeks before his exterior began to crack; he was never a very good actor. He couldn’t keep up the greetings and the asking questions and the easy stroll. He let his shoulders creep up to his ears, let his foot tap incessantly. He did what his Captain told him, but stopped asking for anything more. Stopped following the conversation in the back of the engine on the way to the call; he just stared out the window, thinking about the case to come, preparing for it. When he woke every morning, there was no big recovery milestone to strive for, no big fight for the soul of his career to win. Not even the happy swell of being back on shift -- something so easy to dismiss, that had dominated so much of his life, that he had taken for granted-- that had catalyzed him each morning of his first week back.
An old habit of his had returned. A bad habit.~~
or: after the lawsuit, buck confronts what it was he wanted all along. he looks and looks and longs for it; the team looks right through him. buck breaks-- right down the middle.
