Summary
“Hey there sweetheart,” Buck says softly to the baby as he adjusts his grip so that she’s resting against his chest. “You’re okay. We’ve got you now.”
The screaming seems to die down the smallest amount.
“I know you’re scared, and you’re probably really confused, huh?” Buck walks her around in a small circle in front of the baby box, bouncing her ever so slightly. “Don’t you worry though, you’re safe here with us. And we’re gonna get you somewhere even safer once the nice DCFS people show up.”
The screaming ever so slowly comes to an almost full stop, little whimpers still escaping her tiny body every now and then.
“That’s it,” Buck encourages her with a smile. “You’re being so brave. Look at you go!”

(A Safe Haven Baby Box is installed at the Station 118 firehouse. Buck's really good with the surrendered babies.)

Summary
“Gabriella,” Eddie calls out as soon as they’re within hearing distance. “Thank you so much for giving us a moment.”
“Of course,” Gabriella says, and oh, this is really happening. Imogen feels her heart start to race. “If you need more time, I—”
“Not at all,” Eddie continues. “Gabriella, this is Imogen, and my husband, Buck.”
Imogen finally steps out from behind her dads, and she’s sure she sees Gabriella’s breathing stop the moment she lays eyes on her.
“Hi,” Imogen says nervously. “I’m Imogen. Obviously. Sorry, I didn’t mean to be so awkward, I—”
“No, not at all,” Gabriella reassures her, “I don’t think any of us really knew what to expect today. So it’s completely understandable that you”—Gabriella’s eyes drift over towards Buck and—“Oh,” Gabriella says, eyes locked on Buck. “It’s you.”

(Imogen celebrates her 18th birthday. She meets her birth mother a week later. Buck, Eddie and Chris are there for it all.)
