#get eddie pregnant 2025

[911-incorrect-quotes-dispatch]

Eddie: I think I’m coming down with something.

Hen: Any nausea, headaches or fever?

Eddie: No, it's more like insane food cravings.

Buck, excited: Maybe you’re pregnant!

Ravi: Oh my god, am I gonna be an uncle?

Chim: I can't believe you two were having unprotected sex.

Buck: We're adults, with clean bills of health, Chim.

Hen: I'm gonna throw you the best baby shower ever, Eddie, I have so many ideas.

*They all sit in silence for a whole minute*

Eddie: I don’t know who’s the bigger idiot here. My dumbass of a boyfriend for suggesting it, you three for going along with it, or me because I got excited for a second.

[gayeddie-saved-me]

if there is enough interest, more details will be arranged! this would involve creation and sharing of fics, art, edits, anything you want to make! it would also be both sfw and nsfw content, so 18+

and, repeating again for clarity: this is a buddie event only, not multiship friendly. anything else will not be accepted

Steve sat in a chair beside the garden, watching Eddie work. Eddie had a lot of ideas for the garden in Steve's front yard. It was shaping up to be a much bigger project this year than it had been when Steve was on his own. Steve wasn't sure all of the ideas would work, but he loved the enthusiasm Eddie brought to their home. He sat and watched as Eddie planted all manner of seeds and plant starts on a sunny early June morning.

"D'you think the pumpkins will be as nice as yours were last year?" Eddie asked, looking up at Steve. He pushed a strand of hair out of his face, smearing dirt all over his cheek.

"I think they'll be even better," Steve replied with a fond smile.

Eddie frowned at the dirt in front of him. "Probably not. And what if I'm not planting these watermelon seeds right?"

"It's not complicated." Steve pushed himself up from his chair with a groan, hand on his belly. "You just put them in the ground. Then they'll probably grow. Unless Travis comes around and digs them up." A raccoon had torn all the herbs Eddie planted out of the ground a few weeks earlier. Eddie named him Travis. Steve was pretty sure there were multiple different raccoons but Eddie called them all Travis.

"You think he would do that to me?" Eddie asked, glancing around like maybe Travis was just waiting in the trees to pounce.

"I think Travis is probably asleep right now." He walked to Eddie, looking over his shoulder at the little holes he'd made in the ground. "Those look perfectly spaced. Just put a couple seeds in each one in case some don't germinate. Then I can give the soil a soak." He bent to pick up the hose lying on the ground.

Eddie looked up at Steve with a wicked grin and raised eyebrows. Steve knew that look. Eddie was going to say something outrageous and sexual. "I'll fill the hole with my seed, all you gotta do is make sure it's wet."

Steve groaned. "That was bad, Eddie. So bad. Even for you."

"I don't know what you mean. I was just repeating your instructions." Eddie attempted to look innocent, and failed. Steve sprayed him with water.

"Arrrrrgh!" Eddie yelled, flailing his arms in front of his body in an attempt to bat away the water.

Steve laughed maniacally, until Eddie wrested the hose from his grip and sprayed him back.

"Eddie!" Steve yelped.

"You started it," Eddie replied, without remorse.

The day was hot enough that it felt good to have cold hose water evaporating from his clothes while they finished planting. As they were wrapping things up, they heard a plaintive meow from the open window nearest the garden. Amos sat on the cat tower in front of the window, staring out at them.

"That cat has terrible FOMO," Eddie said.

"The worst," Steve agreed. "He'd prefer it if I just carried him around everywhere I went in a papoose."

"You think he's gonna be jealous of little Travis?" Eddie asked, looking at Steve's belly.

"We're not naming our child after a raccoon."

Eddie shrugged. "I dunno. Travis has a lot of good personality traits - intrepid, sneaky, brilliant. Do you remember when he got into your absolutely 100% raccoon-proof bird feeder?"

"I'm pretty sure that was a different raccoon."

Eddie waved a hand dismissively. "No. It was Travis."

Steve's clothes were half-dry by the time he got inside. He peeled them off on his way to the bathroom as Amos trotted behind him meowing. Steve was covered in dirt after getting much more involved with the planting than he'd actually intended. He turned on the shower to let the water warm up. Amos jumped onto the counter and glared at the shower like it had wronged him personally. The one place he wasn't willing to follow Steve.

A few minutes into his shower, Steve heard Eddie come in from the garage, talking to the other cats in the living room.

"You think you could take Travis in a fight, Sokka my man?" Eddie asked. "Defend our noble garden?"

Steve snorted a laugh. Sokka would run away from a fight at top speed.

Eddie came into the bathroom, and Steve watched through the clear shower curtain as he gave Amos plenty of ear scritches. Eddie turned, his eyes tracking up and down Steve's body as he rubbed soap over his chest and belly.

"Well, hello, beautiful," Eddie said as he began to divest himself of his own clothes. "Fancy meeting you here."

Eddie stepped into the shower and reached for the bar of soap. Steve batted his dirt-caked hand away. "You're washing yourself off before I let you near me. You look like a kid who's been making mud pies."

"Rude," Eddie muttered, but he used the soap to wash his own hands and arms before attempting to touch Steve.

"Let me wash your hair," Steve said. Eddie had managed to get an impressive amount of leaves and grass tangled into his long hair.

Eddie stole a kiss from Steve before he turned around, licking into his mouth for a moment and lighting a little fire between Steve's thighs. Steve raked his fingers through Eddie's hair, untangling it and working shampoo into it. Eddie sighed blissfully and tilted his head back further for Steve.

Steve turned him around when he was finished and directed his head back under the water. Eddie blinked his eyes open once he was finished rinsing. He trailed a hand down Steve's chest, tweaking one of his swollen nipples. It sent a zing of pleasure straight to Steve's cunt. Eddie's hand continued down, resting on his belly. "Travis," he whispered, drawing a very non-sexual groan out of Steve.

"Absolutely not," Steve responded.

Eddie grinned. He grabbed the soap again and lathered up his hands. He soaped up the skin under Steve's pregnant belly. His hand continued further down, and Steve groaned in a very different timbre as Eddie's soapy fingers wrapped around his small cock, then continued down to wash between his folds. Steve could feel Eddie's erection pressed against his thigh as Eddie rubbed his fingers over Steve's cunt. Steve wrapped his arms around Eddie's shoulders and sank into the sensation.

Eddie kissed Steve's neck as he thoroughly cleaned Steve's labia and cock and continued back to his taint and asshole. Eddie bit over the mating bite he'd left on Steve's neck, then sucked it firmly into his mouth. Steve's insides twisted with want. He needed more, but his feet hurt like hell, and his lower back was beginning to ache.

"Need you to fuck me," Steve whispered into Eddie's hair.

"Mmhmm." Eddie rubbed his cock against Steve's thigh. "Turn around."

"Not here," Steve whined. "My feet."

"Ah, of course, sorry baby." Eddie grabbed the shower head off its handle and made quick work of rinsing all the soap off of Steve. He helped Steve dry off, getting all the areas that were difficult for Steve to reach now that his belly had gotten so big. Amos moved across the counter to butt his head against Steve's hand.

Eddie got distracted by Steve's cunt again, rubbing it over and over again with the towel as Steve squirmed.

"Bed," Steve insisted after another violent twinge from his feet. Plantar fasciitis was the worst.

Eddie hung up the towel and gave Steve his arm as Steve hobbled over to the bedroom. He helped Steve into the bed and sat down near his feet. He pulled both feet into his lap and started to massage the left foot, pushing his thumbs firmly into the arch and rubbing. Steve let out a stuttering sort of whistle, like a dysfunctional tea kettle. It felt amazing in the most painful sort of way. He collapsed further back into the bed, melting into the mattress.

Eddie kept going for blissful, excruciating minutes. Steve heard a pop and crackle every once in a while as something released in one of his feet. Eddie continued to massage a foot as he leaned forward and kissed the skin of Steve's calf. Steve sighed as Eddie kissed all over his lower legs. His arousal had faded during the foot massage, but it was coming back now. Heat pooled in his belly, and he felt slick starting to leak out of his cunt.

He pressed himself up on his elbows so he could look down at Eddie. He twitched a foot. Eddie looked up from where his face was buried in Steve's left calf.

"Enough with the feet," Steve said. "Come up here."

Eddie dropped his foot and moved up Steve's body with lightning speed. His erection had also flagged during the foot massage. Steve reached down to wrap a hand around Eddie's cock. It quickly filled out again as Steve stroked.

Eddie kissed Steve, sliding his tongue between his lips. Steve met Eddie's tongue with his own. He tangled them together as he tasted the unique flavor of Eddie's mouth. Eddie slid a hand around Steve's belly and down to his cunt. His fingers moved easily through the ample slick collecting there.

"You're so wet, baby," Eddie cooed against Steve's lips. "You need this bad?"

"Yessss," Steve hissed, wiggling his hips in an attempt to get Eddie's fingers inside. Eddie kissed the delicate, sensitive skin behind Steve's ear. He nipped at it, and Steve's hips jolted. "Eddieeeee," Steve whined. "Stop teasing. Need to get fucked."

Steve had never been this needy outside of a heat until he'd gotten pregnant. Had never felt such an overwhelming desire to have something inside of him. It didn't make any sense; he was already pregnant, why was his body trying to get him more pregnant? But he'd learned to stop overanalyzing, and let the sensations roll over him. It wasn't like Eddie was complaining.

"Turn onto your side, love," Eddie whispered against the shell of Steve's ear. Steve shivered at the feel of the air blowing past his ear, at the brush of Eddie's soft lips. He turned onto his side, and Eddie pressed himself against Steve's back, one hand on Steve's hip.

Eddie's cock nestled between Steve's cheeks. Steve pressed his hips back until it slid between his thighs, brushing against his labia. Eddie's hand moved from Steve's hip and over his belly until it found Steve's small cock. He dipped his hand down to gather some of the slick from Steve's folds, using it to ease the strokes over Steve's cock. Steve keened. He held his hips firmly together and pressed his cunt down against Eddie's cock. He rubbed himself frantically against it, frustrated huffs falling from his mouth.

"Shh shh," Eddie whispered in his ear. "It's okay, baby. I've got you." Eddie let go of Steve's cock to grab his own, directing it inside of Steve. It slid in easily, Steve open and slick with his overwhelming arousal.

"Ahhhhh," Steve moaned as Eddie slid deep inside of him. "Yes, fuck, yes, Eddie." The words tumbled from his mouth unbidden. It felt like something clicked into place, a piece he'd been missing, been aching for, slotting into the unfinished jigsaw puzzle of his body.

Eddie paused, giving Steve a moment to adjust. Steve didn't need a moment. He needed to get fucked. "Move," Steve growled.

Eddie huffed out a surprised laugh. "Yes, sir," he said, and snapped his hips into Steve.

Eddie moved slowly at first, his cock sliding shallowly in and out of Steve. He'd never fully gotten over his worry that he would hurt the baby somehow by fucking Steve, no matter how many times Steve asked the OB to remind him he wouldn't. Steve tried to move his hips to increase the pace, but his body was too unwieldy at this point. It didn't move like it used to.

"Eddie," he said, exasperated. "Move. Like you mean it."

Eddie let out a playful growl and bit Steve lightly on the neck, but he did pick up his pace. His hips snapped into Steve faster. He pushed all the way inside him on each thrust, his bony hips pressing into Steve's ass.

Steve sighed in relief at the feeling of being filled. His pussy was so sensitive these days, he could feel each stroke intensely. The pressure of Eddie's cock against his walls was exquisite. Having Eddie inside of him quenched the frantic fire in his belly.

Eddie continued to nip and kiss at his neck as he moved inside of Steve. His hand returned to Steve's cock. Steve groaned as Eddie used his thumb and two fingers to stroke him fast and hard.

"Stevie, baby, you feel so good," Eddie panted against his ear. "You're perfect. My perfect, sweet treasure."

Steve felt tears build at the corners of his eyes. Joy swelled in his chest at Eddie's words, at the way Eddie treated his body, like he really was a treasure. Eddie's treasure. This never got old, the way Eddie made him feel.

"I'm gonna come, baby," Eddie whispered. "Gonna fill you up so good." Eddie sped up his hand on Steve's cock. Steve keened as heat built in his lower belly. Eddie bit down on his mating bite and the coiled pleasure inside of Steve snapped. Cum spilled out of his cock and slick leaked out of his pussy around Eddie's cock. The walls of his cunt clamped down on Eddie and Eddie yelped, pounding a few more erratic thrusts into Steve before Steve felt the warmth of his cum flooding his insides.

Eddie slumped against Steve's back, breathing heavily. They lay there in silence for a few moments, both covered in a thin layer of sweat from their exertion. Eddie trailed his fingers over Steve's side and hip, around his belly, down to where they were joined together at their cores.

"I put the seed in the hole after you made it wet. Think this one will take?" Eddie asked, a teasing smile evident in his voice.

Steve groaned at the return of the heinous innuendo. "I'm already pregnant, Eddie."

He felt Eddie shrug. "Never too early to get started on number two."

Rated E | Buddie | 8,6k | smut, possessive Eddie, Buck has a vagina (not specifically stated if trans or intersex)

“And,” Hen tacks on, rolling her eyes from where she’s leaning against Chimney, “Buck’s never confirmed it, but y’know, that name is not because he’s a firefighter,” Hen wiggles her eyebrows at him and slowly holds her hands up, placing them a good seven or eight inches apart, insinuating something with the position.

It takes Eddie an embarrassingly long moment to realize Hen is holding up what they believe Buck’s dick size is; however, the only thing Eddie can think about is how wrong they are.

He knows what Buck is packing in his pants—a false alarm of anthrax exposure hitting Buck and Eddie had revealed certain things to the brunet after being hosed off in an opaque tent completely naked next to his best friend—and it isn’t a dick. No, it’s something that absolutely haunts his dreams—so often, it was why he and Ana had broken up. He couldn’t stop thinking of the soft, pale pink pussy that’s fat and powdered with a thatch of neat blond curls his friend hides.

“Sorry again, uh, Doctor Diaz.” He says and reaches a hand out to shake it with the man's. “I'm Buck. Evan Buckley, but everyone calls me Buck.”

“Eddie. And oh, I thought—” The doctor raises his eyebrows so high that they almost reach his hairline, gaze flicking to Maddie and then back to Buck. “Sorry. You must be the husband.”

“God, no!” “Gross.” Both Maddie and Buck say at the same time, making identical, disgusted faces.

I blinked and suddenly I had a valentine by macksdramaticshenanigans

Rated G | 10,7k | Buddie, Buddie & Jee-yun | getting together, valentine's day, uncle Buck, uncle Eddie, matchmaker Jee, love confessions

Jee thrusts the card out towards Eddie. “For you,” she says, cheeks dimpling as her smile turns shy.

It reminds Eddie so much of Christopher, when he was this age. So sweet, so earnest. His heart squeezes in his chest as he accepts Jee’s card.

And— it is just about the cutest fucking thing Eddie’s ever seen, honestly.

The card, clearly handmade, is shaped like a bumblebee. A yellow teardrop body, striped with crooked lines of black marker. Its head is shaped like a heart, with two pipe cleaner antennae sticking out, and this teeny tiny u-shaped smile and a pair of googly eyes glued to make up its face. The kicker, though, are the wings — two big, slightly misshapen pink hearts (clearly cut out by Jee-Yun herself) protruding from either side, each with a little message scribbled out in Jee’s loopy handwriting. The one on the left reads “BEE mine” and a grin breaks out across Eddie’s face, an amused chuckle slipping past his lips. The one on the right, though — it brings an embarrassing lump to Eddie’s throat as he reads, “Happy Valentine’s Day Uncle Eddie!”

Uncle Eddie.

Oh.

In Case of Emergency: Break Glass by WillowFlycatcher

Rated T | 1,6k | Buddie | post 8x06, fluff, first kiss, mild hurt/comfort

It’s just a hug, but Eddie can tell he’s broken the glass on this thing they’ve been quietly letting sit on the shelf for years. It’s hardly their first time in the emergency room, and barely an emergency by their standards, but for some reason today feels like as good a time as any to let it shatter. Or maybe Eddie has just finally run out of reasons not to.

Rated E | Buddie | 20,2k | pre-relationship, vacation, getting together, friends with benefits, feelings realization, mutual pining, love confessions, idiots in love, light angst, authot didn't tag humor but this fic was so hilarious at times it feels worth adding

“Swingers,” Buck gasped, eyes wide and mouth agape, “Eddie, they’re swingers.”

Immediately, Eddie blanked, fork clattering against his dish as he ran through every possible way he could try to deny it. More or less recovered, he eventually shook his head and laughed, “What? No. No, they’re not.”

“Yes,” the other gritted out, frantically gesturing back at the two couples at the bar, “they are.”

Turning in his seat, Eddie watched as the pair of husbands quite literally swapped wives, getting rather cozy with their new partner for the evening. And... ok, damn. Sure. Clearing his throat as he turned back around, he was willing to make a partial concession, “Ok. Fine. Maybe those four are, but—”

That’s when Buck got to pointing: “And them. And them. And definitely them.” Each assessment more damning than the last.

Hii! Omg this is the last Slick Sunday of the year, thanks again for making such a cool event!! Wishing you a happy New Year Eve and an amazing 2025 ❤️

For the Slick Sunday I imagined pregnant O!Steve and A!Eddie celebrating the New Year at Hopper and Joyce's alongside everybody. It's a big celebration with plenty of food and game cards, Eddie is having an arm around Steve almost at all times while Steve joins Robin into egging Dustin on his game.

With midnight drawing near and the countdown being chanted, Steve and Eddie get ready to have their New Year kiss like the years prior. They watch El being ecstatic with the happy ritual, not feeling it getting old anytime soon, as well as the other kids and their families looking expectant and cheery. Wayne is sitting between Hopper and Jonathan, looking happy and so alive. This is the life they never dreamed they could get.

When the hour comes and they kiss, Eddie feels Steve's bump brushing into him and it finally breaks the flood gates he's been holding for part of the night. He's just so happy! His uncle is living in a better house, he found a family bigger than he ever imagined, a safer job, he got his mate and now they're having a pup. It's real and it'll be soon now, just some months and not just next year anymore.

Steve's been watching Eddie's reactions all night so the tears are not a big surprise. He coos and nuzzle his cheek, hugging and moving their bodies like they're slow dancing. He noticed how his hands sometimes grip Steve a bit tighter, as if to check if he's really there. How his hands caress Steve's bump mindlessly, how he whispers his wishes and thoughts to the baby when he thinks Steve's still asleep.

Eddie is still getting used to having good things, thankfully he has time and people to look out for him. Steve is making sure of it. Cut some years later to their pup following their mom's example and taking care of their dad. This time by insisting on feeding him their own lunch. They're doing it solely because he needs to eat something and Not because they don't feel like eating it anymore. Oops.

alpha Eddie is such a sensitive crybaby when it comes to his family🥺💕

my biggest and best contribution to the buddie fandom this year was coining the term bpreg for buck’s truest desire of getting pregnant. here’s to a 2025 full of bpreg just like buck will be full of eddie’s babies. yay!!!!

BUCK / TOMMY - HELL HATH NO FURY LIKE A FANDOM SCORNED!

I did some thinking. Never good, but my brain can't wrap around the breakup that came out of the left field.

Recently, it was announced that a spin-off of "9-1-1" is in the works. While no locations have been finalized, Hawaii and Las Vegas have been suggested as potential settings. The showrunner is already working on the project, with filming set to begin in March 2025.

However, one of my biggest fears has come true: the focus of the showrunners is being diverted from the current show to concentrate on this new spin-off. All the energy runs in the new project. Also, at this point, we don't know if the mothership will be renewed. Without an early renewal, we must wait until May for the announcement. That is another reason why they are focusing on the new show. I wonder if this is why the plots feel rushed and repetitive. It's nice to revisit the past, but not ad nauseam. 9-1-1 does it too often lately. What's the point in bringing back Gerard and turning him into the butt end of a joke? What's the point in digging out Abby's Tommy and hanging it around Tommy Kinard's neck when nothing was ever mentioned in the past. The focus is clearly not on the current show. It feels like Tim abandoned the ship to board a new one. It's fresh, it's crisp, it leaves room for a lot of things. Even if the breakup was meant as a shocker. If your focus is somewhere else, you don't see it. Right now, the mothership is leaking and starting to sink. If Tim keeps his focus on the new project and isn't invested in the current show, the lights will go out sooner rather than later.

Bringing in an established character was probably the biggest mistake Tim could have made if he wasn't meant to stick around. Bring in Mary Sue or Marty Stu to be a LI but not a character with a history that connects to so many people on the show. You can't sideline them forever. Especially as Buck's bi-arc was announced as something big. And it was big. A bit too big to be treated the way it was. The fanbase that had built around TEVAN, or BUCKTOMMY, within weeks, was massive. It drew so many members of the queer community into the show. Suddenly, many of them felt seen. Tommy and Buck were different from the other queer characters out there. Different from what was represented on any other show. People were willing to watch to get the slightest glimpse of them. Because they felt real. Their chemistry shot into the stratosphere.

And then you go and end it on such a horrible note? I don't care if the haters call Tommy a plot device. Everyone on the show is one at some point—even Christopher, Eddie, or anyone else from the main or recurrent cast, Karen, for instance, the Wilson kids. You name it. Tommy Kinard came, saw and conquered. So why not give him more room? They did it with Taylor (yes, I know JLH was pregnant then, but that's reason enough? I doubt it). As I said in my other long post, you could cut in a sequence of 5 minutes and show a summary of Tommy's and Buck's life.

Tim makes the same mistake as many showrunners do. Cramming a shitload of plots into 42 minutes of airtime. Is it really necessary to tell that many stories in such a short amount of time? That feels like speed dating. You blink, and you miss an important scene. Every episode, you jump from plot A to B to A to C to B. We didn't have this fast pacing in season 1 or 2. Stop it. Make Quality plots over quantity stuff.

In Tommy's voice: And for God's sake, clean up that mess you created with that shitty breakup, or the audience will wither away.

I'm sorry. I could write a book about what is happening in my head. You'd get Super Brownie points if you made it here.

9-1-1 REACTION

Much like season five, the back half of the eighth season of 9-1-1 is shaping up to be much better than the front half. Last episode marked the return of the ABC drama and by the end we were left with a pretty gnarly cliffhanger. This week, we learn of Maddie’s fate after she was kidnapped by Detective Amber Braeburn (played by Abigail Spencer). We also say goodbye (maybe temporarily, most likely permanently) to a beloved character. But I’m getting ahead of myself. First things first, this reaction is for the season 8, tenth episode “Voices” which originally aired on March 13, 2025. The episode was written by Ted Griffin and Molly Savard and directed by Jennifer Lynch. Without further ado, let’s talk about the episode.

“Daddy. Where’s Mommy?” – Jee-Yun Buckley-Han

We kick things off with a pairing I honestly need more of going forward. Chimney and Buck arrive at the Han residence after their night out celebrating Eddie’s departure from the 118. Chimney calls out to his wife, but she doesn’t respond. Buck finds her wedding ring on the kitchen sink. It doesn’t take long for them to realize Maddie is not there. Chimney calls her number and her phone starts ringing a few feet away. As fear starts to set in, little Jee comes into the room and asks where her mother is.

Meanwhile, as Maddie slowly regains consciousness, she hears voices. Two very distinct voices coming from the same person. She sees Detective Braeburn engaged in a conversation with … well, herself. It’s giving Smeagol and Gollum from Lord of the Rings. The detective appears to suffer from a mental health disorder called dissociative identity disorder (DID) which is characterized by the presence of two or more distinct identities or personality states that alternate in controlling a person’s behavior. In this episode, we see Detective Braeburn alternate between her younger self and a serial killer who is responsible for quite a few murders. The detective notices Maddie is awake and chloroforms her again.

Title card.

Hen arrives at Chimney’s and immediately goes into best friend mode. She calls the local hospitals to see if Maddie has turned up while Buck checks with dispatch to see if her vehicle has been reported in any kind of accident. Eddie arrives and asks if there’s any news. Buck reports there isn’t any. Hen tells Chimney he needs to file a missing persons report but the latter isn’t so sure what to do. Chimney tells them that when he and Maddie found out she was pregnant, they made a deal. Maddie promised that she wouldn’t leave without telling him and in return, he promised her he wouldn’t treat her like she’s broken. Hen tells him that if Maddie is having some sort of mental health crisis, they need to help her. I felt so bad for Chimney in this scene because he can’t help but be reminded of the last time Maddie went missing. He tells the others that Maddie’s been doing so well. Buck reminds him that she was also doing well before … until she wasn’t. Buck reminds his brother-in-law that none of this is his fault and assures him they will find Maddie. Hen takes lead and tells Buck and Eddie to start canvassing the neighborhood while Chimney heads downtown to meet with Athena.

“You took me from my home.” – Maddie Buckley-Han

We learn that Maddie is being held in Detective Braeburn’s basement. When Maddie comes to, again, the detective tells her that she’d been after Richard Bullock for a long time and thanks Maddie for giving her a reason to take him out. She tells Maddie she kidnapped her because it was only a matter of time before she put it all together. Detective Braeburn asks if Maddie has told anyone – Athena or her husband. Maddie tells her she hasn’t had a chance to tell anyone. Detective Braeburn doesn’t believe her. The detective gets a call from Athena and tells Maddie that people probably know that she’s missing now. Without another word, Detective Braeburn leaves, and we get a scream from Jennifer Love Hewitt we haven’t heard since her I Know What You Did Last Summer days.

Chimney heads to the police station and talks with Athena and Bobby about Maddie’s disappearance. Detective Braeburn arrives shortly thereafter and tells Chimney to fill out a missing person’s report so she can get it into the system. The detective sidebars with Athena and tries to throw suspicion onto Chimney. Athena tells her that Chimney’s true-blue and that he would never hurt his wife. Braeburn then asks Athena if she spoke with Maddie after the meeting the previous day. Athena says the last time she saw Maddie was during their meeting.

“A man’s dead. He didn’t kill himself and then kidnap Maddie.” – Bobby Nash

While Maddie tries to free herself, Chimney tells Athena and Bobby that Maddie’s pregnant. Detective Braeburn comes into the room and announces that Maddie’s officially in the system and an APB is going out now. The detective notices some weirdness coming from the other three and asks what’s going on. Bobby tells Chimney he should tell Detective Braeburn what he just told him and Athena. Chimney tells the detective that Maddie is pregnant and past her first trimester. He also tells her about Maddie’s post partem depression after her first pregnancy but quickly says that she hasn’t experienced any signs of depression since. Detective Braeburn asks Chimney if Maddie mentioned anything about the case they were working on. Chimney tells her yes. She then asks if Maddie mentioned anything about how they got Richard Bullock. He says no. Athena explains they were able to take down Richard Bullock because Maddie convinced him to kill himself. Chimney is disturbed by this news.

Detective Braeburn tells Bobby and Athena she wants to talk to Chimney in private. After they vacate, the detective asks Chimney which beach Maddie went to when she tried to off herself. She says she wants to send a police cruiser there, just in case. In the hallway, Athena tells Bobby that something about Maddie’s disappearance isn’t right. She finds it odd that Maddie’s disappearance happens on the same day she helps stop a kidnapper. It’s too much of a coincidence. Back in the office, Detective Braeburn asks Chimney is Maddie has been drinking. He says no. He then asks if he Maddie wants the baby and if I didn’t know this woman was evil, I knew it at this point. Chimney is adamant that Maddie wants their baby. Athena suspects that Richard Bullock had an accomplice and tells Bobby to keep that bit of information to himself. Chimney leaves the office and tells Bobby and Athena that he feels like he should be doing something. Athena tells him the only thing he needs to do is be with his daughter.  

“Everything felt like it was finally getting back to the way it should be.” – Evan “Buck” Buckley

Detective Braeburn can’t wait to get back home to tell Maddie everything she’s learned. She tells Maddie she’s going to inject her with Fentanyl. Maddie asks her if she can write a letter to Jee as a means of stalling and the detective acquiesces. Meanwhile, Buck and Eddie are out looking for Maddie. Buck is very worried about his sister. His abandonment issues are surfacing, and he sees this as yet another person choosing to leave him. He then lashes out at Eddie who is planning on moving back to Texas. I am so glad Buck finally got all his feelings out. He’s clearly upset that his best friend is moving away even though logically he understands why Eddie is leaving. Last episode, Eddie lashed out at Buck, and we really didn’t get to see Buck defend himself.

Chimney leaves the police station and heads straight for Hen and Karen’s while Athena meets up with Detective Rick Romero (played by Danny Nucci). They go see the coroner Luann (played by Carole Gutierrez) who is performing the autopsy on Richard Bullock. Luann tells them that prior to his apparent death by suicide, Bullock was chloroformed repeatedly. Romero posits that someone kept him alive long enough for him to be a sacrificial lamb of sorts. After leaving the morgue, Athena and Rick go to see Jayna Whitlock (played by Chloe Csengery), our kidnapping victim from the previous episode, and ask her questions about her captivity. She says she doesn’t remember much. She remembers being in the restroom at the bus station and being chloroformed by Richard Bullock. Thankfully Bullock never touched her. Athena asks if she saw anyone with Bullock. Jayna says there was a woman. The woman was crying but she wasn’t a victim. The woman and Richard were fighting.

Back in Braeburn’s basement, Maddie finishes her letter to Jee. Detective Braeburn reads the letter laments that she never got love from her own mother. Maddie tries to appeal to the younger version of the detective while simultaneously trying to free herself. Back at the police station, Athena and Rick talk with Richard Bullock’s former girlfriend Isabelle (played by Frankie Ingrassia). Isabelle is adamant she is not Bullock’s accomplice and says she was at a casino at the time of his death.

“Jee said her mom was talking to someone who was crying last night after she went to bed.” – Mara Driskoll

Detective Braeburn shows up at the hospital where Jayna is inpatient and tells her she’s been discharged and that she will take her to her mom. Meanwhile, Athena and Rick decide to locate other victims around Jayna’s age. They are only looking at victims whose perpetrators used chloroform as a means of subduing them. Over at the Han residence, Chimney says goodbye to Hen and Karen who have been looking after Jee. When he goes to put Jee to bed, he hears a knock at the door. He goes to answer and finds Hen and Mara (played by Askyler Bell) on his doorstep. Hen encourages Mara to tell Chimney what she told her. Mara tells Chimney that Jee told her that she heard Maddie talking to a woman the night she disappeared. Chimney deduces that someone else was in the house with Maddie. Creepy!!!

Buck and Eddie arrive at Chimney’s after their fruitless search. Hen updates them on recent revelations while Chimney tries getting in touch with Detective Braeburn. We then head over to dispatch with Athena and Rick. They meet with Josh who plays them a 9-1-1 call of a young girl who was taken captive back in 2000 by Richard Bullock. Turns out, the girl is Amber Braeburn. Rick speculates that Detective Braeburn is the one who was working with Bullock, but Athena believes the detective is the one who set up his death. Athena asks Josh to look up Detective Braeburn’s address. Josh tells her he already did when he gave it to Chimney.

“We think she might be a damn serial killer.” – Athena Grant

Back in the basement, Maddie finds a hammer and some news articles about the Richard Bullock’s victims. Detective Braeburn returns with Jayna. Maddie tries to get through to the detective, but the latter tells her she plans on getting rid of Chimney. This sends my girl Maddie into an absolute frenzy. Maddie charges at her with the hammer and the two of them scuffle. Then, in a shocking turn of events, Detective Braeburn slashes Maddie’s throat. When I saw this, I was gooped and gagged. Mostly I was floored. Now I’ve seen some gruesome things on this show. I still have nightmares about the guy who goes stuck in the escalator after proposing to his girlfriend. Seeing Maddie get her throat sliced is officially the second-most violent thing I’ve seen on this show. I will tell you about the first here shortly.

Meanwhile, Chimney arrives at the detective’s house. She invites him in and offers to get him some water. Chimney gets a call from Athena who tells him to act natural. She then tells him that Detective Braeburn is the one who kidnapped Maddie. When the call ends, Chimney turns around and sees that the detective has a gun aimed at him. When she goes to pull the trigger, Maddie hits her over the back of the head. Maddie collapses and is bleeding out. Chimney calls 9-1-1. As he comforts his wife, Detective Braeburn regains her composure and finds her gun. She points it at the back of Chimney’s head. Maddie tries to warn him, but she can’t talk. When the detective goes to shoot him, we get a shot of the window behind her getting sprayed by blood. HEADSHOT! Detective Braeburn is down. This right here is the most violent thing I’ve seen on this show. Athena’s definitely killed before but never like this. The whole scene from beginning to end was just so … shocking.

“Hey, you don’t have to be here. You’ve already done so much. You should be with your family.” – Howie “Chimney” Han “What makes you think I’m not?” – Hen Wilson

We end up at the hospital – yet again. At this point, all of our characters have found themselves in an operating room. If you’re keeping score, we have Athena’s assault (1), Maddie’s kidnapping by her estranged husband leading to getting stabbed and now her getting her throat slashed (2), Buck nearly choking to death, Buck getting crushed by a firetruck, Buck nearly succumbing to his complications of getting crushed by a firetruck, Buck getting struck by lightning (4), Eddie getting shot by a sniper and then getting hurt during the freeway collapse (2), Chimney getting rebar through his skull, getting stabbed by Maddie’s estranged husband, and contracting encephalitis (3), and Bobby getting shot by the sniper and having a heart attack (2). Come to think of it, Hen’s like the only one who hasn’t ended up in the hospital unless you count when she got concussed during the freeway collapse. These poor people have been through so much, but they always rally together when one of them is down and out.

Thankfully, Maddie is going to be okay. We also get some good news! Well, it’s good news if you’re someone who likes knowing the gender of babies before they are born. Maddie and Chimney are having a boy. I love seeing Kenneth Choi smile. He has such a great smile and he and Jennifer Love Hewitt have amazing chemistry!

“Thanks for helping me get back to him.” – Eddie Diaz

Our final scene is one that should’ve been in the last episode. It’s weird ending an episode where Maddie was the focal point on Buck and Eddie who are acting like two high school sweethearts who are breaking up before they leave for their first year of college. This is total Buddie bait, but I don’t mind it because ultimately, it’s nothing. Eddie is leaving. We’ve known this for a while now. I don’t think this is the last time we will see Eddie, but I do think this will be Ryan’s last season. The two hug it out and the last shot of the episode is Buck looking sad and dejected.

Wow! This was another great episode! Shout out to Jennifer Love Hewitt and Kenneth Choi who acted their butts off. Something that I think this episode did very well was its depiction of how much Maddie has grown over the years. We’ve seen this woman go through it since she arrived in Los Angeles seven seasons ago. We saw her runaway with Doug when she was younger. We saw her runaway from Doug. We saw her runaway from Chimney and their daughter. This time Maddie didn’t run away. This time she fought back. She fought for Chimney and Jee. I loved seeing this side of Maddie.

I thought Detective Amber Braeburn worked as a villain. I do wish they could have waited to reveal her identity. Imagine how gaggy it would’ve been if we found out at the same time Athena did. I’m glad they killed off the detective because honestly I didn’t want another Jeffrey Hudson situation where she comes back two or three seasons from now. With that said, I need Maddie to get through the rest of her pregnancy without incident. Please, writer, if you’re reading this, I need you to leave Chimney and Maddie along for a while. I’m so tired of seeing them in peril.

As for our goodbye, I will miss Eddie being around, I won’t, however, miss the constant speculation about his sexuality and the constant call for him and Buck to get together romantically. I also get the feeling that Ryan Guzman is exhausted of the shipping. The show hasn’t really given him anything to do on this show in a very long time. I feel like his character hasn’t evolved since maybe season four. I do wonder that had the writers not spent so much time catering to shippers, if we would’ve seen some growth in the character by now. The show has zero interest in putting Eddie with Buck, but they also know that a lot of online engagement with the show involves these two. I do wonder what will happen to the Buddie ship now. I’m sure they’ll find a way to spin Eddie’s exit into a sign that Buddie is happening. They always do, haha.

Well, that’s it for this reaction. According to IMDb, we have eight more episodes left of this season. Next episode will feature Bobby’s mom which is exciting. Last season we got a glimpse into his upbringing and I’m anxious to see more! I wonder if Maddie will have the baby by the end of the season since it was confirmed she was past her first trimester. I also wonder what’s next for Buck. I need my boy to pull an Abby and do some eat, pray, love. It looks like Tommy is coming back and I would prefer Buck deal with his issues before he reunites with Tommy. Well, I hope you’ll come back next week when I review the next episode. Until next time …

“I don’t really want to talk about you getting some woman pregnant, Buck.”

Buck and Eddie exchange a confused look.

“Well, I know that!” Shannon cuts him off.

Buck looks lost.

Buck isn’t a big social media guy. Never uses it really. If he’s on his phone, it’s for podcasts, books, and music. Maybe the occasional YouTube video or something. But he doesn’t really even keep his own social media profiles on downloaded, signed in apps. He doesn’t have Instagram or TikTok or anything. But he imagines he must have Facebook at least. He must have made a profile at some point, right? He can’t exactly remember.

July, 2025

Harry finishes his training course at the Fire Academy towards the end of the month. He imagines doing this in the summer wasn’t ideal. It’s hot and horrible most days. But he supposes the physical exertion combined with the heat adds to an additional sense of accomplishment.

He’s not surprised when they call out his assigned station. The 118. Of course it is.

It’s not what he was hoping for, exactly, when he decided on this path forward.

It’s not that he’s not glad about the impending change. Eddie is coming back. Chris is coming back. That’s a good thing. Objectively speaking, it’s a great thing. It’s just that Buck isn’t feeling the good things as deeply as he might once have.

And besides, they’re coming back because Bobby is dead.

Of course, that’s not the official reasoning. The official reasons are a list of excuses.

To answer your tags in this post, (https://www.tumblr.com/lemotmo/779785623281287168?source=share) those look like temporary license plates, which are used until the official ones arrive in the mail!

The weird thing is the expiration date which looks to be December 19th 2025, but temporary license plates in the State of Texas are good for 60 days - which means that Eddie moved to Texas in October 2025. My best bet on what's going on based on my estimate of when the show is taking place ie. Early January 2025, is that they gave that car temporary tags for an entire year vs the usual 60 days.

Depending on where we are in the timeline when 8x13 opens, if the show is taking place how I assumed it would - September 2024 to May?2025, we could be getting another time jump in 8x13 or 8x14. Because if Maddie is giving birth in season 8, she has to be due from Late May/June at the earliest. (They were able to tell the sex from the ultrasound which at minimum puts her at 11 weeks in Early December) Which means that at some point the show has to catch up to present day, We're in Early January in the show as of 8x12, which puts them nearly 3 months behind current day so! We're due one of those, hopefully soon. Like it'll allow Eddie to have his house fixed up so Chris can move in and we already know that they're on semi good terms at the of 8x12, so I can see that being the only barrier to Chris moving out that is not Eddie's parents. So 8x13 time jump? (If not this episode, probably 8x14 has the time jump.)

Thank you all for the information on the temporary license plate. We don't have something like this here, so I was stumped what it was.

As for that time jump you talked about @honeysblooms. It is possible I suppose, although this show never really cared for timelines before. Last episode it had been 5 weeks since Maddie had been attacked by Braeburn and she suddenly seemed waaaaay too pregnant for only 5 weeks to have passed.

We'll just have to wait and see what they have in story for us! 🤗

Buck and Bobby Week 2025 - Day 5 - Can't Be A Mess.

@buckandbobbyweek

"You're allowed to cry."

Buck's struggling with feeling like he's not allowed to grieve Maddie, Bobby comforts him.

AO3

***

It sucks, sometimes, trying to be that strong person that everyone can lean on.

It especially sucks when there’s a part of him that just wants to melt into a crying puddle of a mess that he feels like he is on the inside, but he can’t.

He can’t because he knows that his parents, that Chimney, that Jee, needs him right now. 

He knows that falling apart over Maddie’s death wouldn’t help anyone. 

They need him to be strong, to take the hits that come with grief. 

Chim’s blaming the goodbye party – if he had just been there, if he and Maddie hadn’t felt like they needed to be there for Buck in the wake of Eddie leaving… things could’ve been different.  He could’ve been there and stopped the kidnapping.

His parents blame him for being the reason that she went to him in LA, stayed in LA, got involved in dispatch, and eventually met a serial killer. 

So, of course, he can’t – can’t break down. 

It’s the least he can do for them. 

He didn’t save Daniel and now, Maddie is dead because of him. 

He gave her LA.  A home in LA.  He introduced her to Chimney and… everything happened because of that.

It’s all his fault. 

So, he can’t – can’t – cry.  He can’t let his grief show… it’s … not allowed.

Which is why he has to make his escape for just a few minutes.  Away, somewhere safe.  Where he can’t get caught.

Somewhere alone. 

And he finds such a place at Chim’s house.  It’s outside and along the side, there’s a little nook where he could sit and take a deep breath.

He can’t let the tears fall because he has to go back inside, but he could at least relax for a minute and not pretend that it’s okay or that he’s okay when he isn’t. 

He closes his eyes. 

And he thinks about how if he just insisted that Maddie wouldn’t leave – not without telling him – that they might’ve figured it out sooner.  Figured out that she’d been kidnapped rather than waiting it out that she might be – that she might’ve left like she did last time. 

He knew that his instincts then were right, and they’re right this time too, but no.  Chim was right – that’s what everyone told him.  Chimney knew what she was like while pregnant, that she was at higher risk for the same issue that drove her away the first time. 

But no one listened.

And yet, it’s still his fault.

Of course it is. 

He’s just starting to relax when he hears, “You’re allowed to cry.”

Buck jumps, slightly, and opens his eyes.

It’s Bobby. 

“Uh, Bobby – I just – uh, needed a minute.”

He doesn’t want to make this about himself, but as Bobby sits beside him, he says, “Listen to me, Buck, you are allowed to cry.  I know that Chim’s been giving you a hard time – not directly but all the comments about the Eddie situation and trying to support you, but it’s not on you that some psycho decided to go after her.”

Buck shrugs.  “Maybe it is – I’m the reason she’s in LA in the first place –”

“And she was happy here because of you.  Because you gave her a safe place to land.”

“Until now apparently,” he says, bitterly.  “All I did was delay the inevitable.”

“You did far more than that,” Bobby counters.  “You gave her a home, a chance to grow.  A chance to be happy.  Something that was denied to her since she took up with Doug.”

Buck hums.  He knows that is true.  If she hadn’t come to him then her last eight years would have been miserable instead of happy. 

“And she wouldn’t want you to beat yourself up because she accidently gotten involved with a serial killer,” Bobby states.  “Our jobs are risky, and she knew that.  It’s not her fault, but it’s not yours either.”

“Not according to some people.”

“Yes, well, the less said about your parents – the better.  They’ve been terrible people since you were born, so this doesn’t surprise me, but they’re wrong… and so is Chim,” Bobby states, plainly.  “I know he’s grieving, but blaming you isn’t the answer and it’s wrong.  You’re grieving, too.”

“I got the sense that I wasn’t allowed to do that,” Buck mutters.

He doesn’t mean for Bobby to hear that, but of course he does.

“She was your sister.  The one that you knew your entire life, the one that basically raised you because your parents are assholes, the one that you loved for over thirty years – you have a right to your grief, Buck.  You deserve better than anyone who tells you otherwise.”

Logically, Buck knows that what Bobby’s saying is true, so when he repeats, “You’re allowed to cry, Buck,” Buck lets go.

He cries onto Bobby’s shoulder as Bobby pulls him into him, one arm around his shoulders.  The side hug is honestly all he needs, but Bobby whispers assurances to him, and before he knows it, he’s soaked Bobby’s shirt. 

“I’m so sorry,” Buck says, as he sits up, wiping at his tears.  “I didn’t mean to –”

“Don’t be sorry, there’s nothing to be sorry for, I promise.  You have a right to grieve and your feelings,” Bobby assures him. 

“I think I know that,” Buck states.  “But some people got in my head –”

Bobby nods.  “I can understand why they got in your head, and I want you to know that they are wrong.”

“I appreciate that.”

“And I think you deserve a break, so why don’t you come home with me and Hen and Athena’ll help Chim and your parents, alright?”

“You don’t have to –”

“I want to.  Someone has to take care of you, and I’m happy to do it, kid.”

Buck smiles.  “Thanks, Bobby.”

“Anytime.”

Maddie theory for 8b: so JLH was busy filming a different project in january(and maybe february?), and her parts of ep 9-10 was filmed in november, so it doesn't make sense if Maddie is kidnapped and found in those episodes, right? If the point was to have Maddie kidnapped because JLH was gone/filming something else in early 2025?

So with finding out she's pregnant in ep 7 and a time jump after ep 10(?), my theory is that she's kidnapped in ep 9 or 10 and gone for months, maybe until ep 12-14, and escape/is found right before giving birth, for extra drama...

And it would also make sense if Eddie is gone for more than a few weeks if he's really moving to Texas and coming back, so 5-6 month time jump maybe? Or with Ryan growing a beard, maybe Eddie is also getting kidnapped?

And obviously Tommy should come back soon, Bucktommy endgame 2025.

Most of my theories are usually wrong, and with ep 9-10 having reshoots/scenes added, looks like whatever the plan was in november isn't what's happening now. 😂

Hi, Nonnie!

It's an interesting theory, but I have to disagree with it based on the following:

I could swear someone (maybe Tim, possibly Tim) said somewhere that 809-10 is a two-episode arc. Therefore, the storyline will be wrapped up by 810. And that everyone's life would change by the end of the ep. I don't trust that man, so I take it with a grain of salt, but yeah.

JLH did say Maddie needed a change after her SL in 809-10, hence her longer hair, which implied the kidnapping arc ends during 810.

I don't trust 911 to do this long of a drawn-out after 8b, and the way they sped up storylines makes me believe they wouldn't draw the kidnapping arc out.

Also, I guess 4 is that drawing the kidnapping arc would mean the attention for the second half would mainly be on Maddie. The GA would want to see that resolution and would not be as interested in everyone else's SLs, which could be a bad decision to make all in all.

All in all, I just don't see it happening. But this is 911, and this is the season of truly bizarre choices, so never say never!

My inbox is open for ranting, venting, giving your opinion (unpopular or popular, I'm happy to receive and discuss both), and even confessions! Though if you don't want yours posted, please make sure to say :)

Take care <3
