Summary
Buck rocks the crying baby in his arms, tears gathering in his own eyes. Every hiccuping sob is like a knife to his heart.
The loft is dark and still around him, the creaking of the glider and Carter’s cries the only sounds. His neighbors must hate him right now, in this nebulous time after midnight and before dawn.
He can’t do this. This was—
He can’t do this.
Holding Carter against his shoulder, he fumbles his phone out of the pocket of his sweats and swipes it on, going to his contacts. It rings for what feels like an hour before Maddie picks up.
“Buck? What—”
“I shouldn’t have done this,” he interrupts, the guilt of calling her in the middle of the night washing away in the relief of hearing her voice. “Maddie, I shouldn’t have done this.” He’s aware of his growing hysteria but lacks the energy to tamp it down.
OR: Buck feels overwhelmed after deciding to foster a baby boy. Luckily, he has Maddie--and Eddie--to help him out.

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.
