"Sorry, I know I'm late."
And Daniel stands in the doorway looking, well—
A lot like Buck, but a little fuzzy around the edges.
No birthmark, no tattoos, curls all slicked back, a little shorter and a lot skinnier.
"You're too late, Danny boy," Doug calls out, his slimy grin audible in his words, "I'm favourite uncle to Evan Jr now."
"Keep talking more shit, Doug, see where it gets you." Daniel waves off their mother's scolding clucks and dives for Buck's phone instead. His eyes soften and he looks up at his little brother. Buck's breath leaves him in a rush. "He's beautiful, Ev. I mean, a little pale and blurry but, you know, the camera adds ten pounds of slime, so..."
The burn in his lungs becomes a little more apparent, a little more dire. He clenches his hands into fists, lets the dig of his nails into his palms ground him. Nobody seems to notice him backing up against the wall to hyperventilate, but Daniel's eyes stay trained on him the whole time, even as the conversation carries on without them.
"You okay?" he asks, handing Buck his phone back.
"I-I don't know," Buck wheezes. Daniel squints at him for a moment, something calculating in his eyes gone as fast as it appeared.
"Already worrying about names, huh?" Daniel nods knowingly and nudges him with an elbow. "Got a few suggestions: Daniel, Dan, Danny—"
"Chris."
"What?"
"We're gonna call him Christopher," Buck says with the utmost certainty.
He's not sure who we is or where the name comes from, but he knows without a shadow of a doubt that his son is called Christopher.
Someone told him once, someone important, that they only knew the name when they saw him.
Well, Buck's seen him and he knows.
His son is called Christopher.
(OR: buck dreams of a family fractured by reality and wakes to the family of his dreams)

I booked an appointment with my doctor for early April!! I highly doubt the bump will go away by then, as it has been there for a couple months. If anything it seems to be getting worse ._.
There's nothing on the surface of my skin where it is, it's not in a spot that would make sense to me for a muscle injury, it's firm, and it's painful. I have no idea what could've caused it. I need to get some sleep before I start panicking over "what if" scenarios... I really hope it's nothing serious :(
