Summary
Little Evan "Buck" Buckley dreamed of where he was now. He has a supportive family around him, his sister is by his side, and he spends every day working with dinosaurs. How much better could it get?
Eddie Diaz (single dad, Silver Star recipient, former army medic) was just trying to find a job that would keep him from getting bored, be relatively safe, and set his son up for life. How dangerous could working at a luxury resort be, even if that resort was full of deadly predators?
There's no better way to bond than fighting for your lives in the island jungle, and Buck and Eddie are about to be put to the ultimate test. It's up to them and the rest of the 118 to put a stop to the prehistoric attack, and who knows what'll happen along the way.

Summary
After finding out he's pregnant, Buck gets ready to tell Eddie, only to discover there was an accident at work and Eddie falls into a coma before he could tell him.
-
“I wanted to tell you this differently. Preferably while you were conscious, but I’m still having a hard time not talking about it with you.” He brings his hand down so both hands are holding Eddie’s. “I’m pregnant, Eddie. We’re having a baby.”
As soon as the words left his mouth a stray tear slipped out without him even realizing it.
This hurts, telling Eddie this way. None of this is going how it should. It’s unfair for the universe to punish them this way, he thinks. They’ve both dedicated their lives to helping people, and this is how they get repaid? Seems unfair if you ask him.

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.
