Summary
“My mom said, uh, that his name was Buck. That he was going to go to the fire academy and that he had a—” she broke off, rubbing her own forehead, exactly where his skin went pink. “She said he went by Firehose.”
Buck didn’t need all of his coworkers to look at him in alarm; he was pretty sure he’d gone deadly pale. His daughter knew four things about him, and one of them was his old tinder profile handle. He felt a little like he was going to die.
“She’s got your eyes,” Eddie commented, unhelpfully.

Buck finds out he has a daughter, and also a stupidly big crush on his best friend. It's an adjustment.

Summary
On the phone, Eddie starts speaking again, his voice soft and warm. “Buck, I don’t know how, but you always know exactly—”
He’s still speaking as Ravi leans down, picks up the remote, and hands it to Buck.
Buck manages to look away from the phone—from Eddie—for long enough to grin thankfully at Ravi and instinctively say, “Thanks, honey.”
Eddie stops, mid-sentence. Just… stops.

OR: Buck decides Ravi needs a new nickname. Eddie loses his mind over it.

Summary
“Do you have to get married?”
“Nah,” he hears Buck say, walking back in the living room, “Not if you don’t want to. I’m not yet!”
To which Jee starts laughing.
“What?” Buck asks, his voice infected by her laughter.
“Yes, you are! Don’t be silly!”
“Am I?”
“With uncle Eddie!”
Eddie chokes on his drink, which catches Buck’s attention. He looks at Eddie wide eyed, then back at Jee. “Jee, we’re not married.”
“Yes! Like aunt Hen and aunt Karen!”
