VICTORIA WAS TRYING TO HELP BUCK OFF OF THE ELEVATOR. Try being the word because he seemed to want to do it by himself with a full leg cast. She didn't understand why he chose to take the crutches, especially since it wasn't just a little broken ankle that he had. "Careful, there's a bump there." She tells him with a sigh as she gestures to it. Buck steps over it with ease, well, as much as he could with Victoria practically bodyguarding him.

"I got it." Buck admits as he gets off of the elevator. Victoria sighs as she watches him make his way toward the door.

"Are you sure you don't want the wheelchair?" Victoria asks him, ready to drive back to the hospital in order to get one. She didn't want him to potentially hurt himself just because he wanted to prove a point.

"I'm fine with the crutches. Think of all the arm strength I'll have afterwards." Buck says with a wink and Victoria shakes her head as she walks up to him in order to open the door.

"Right, because that's what I care about." Victoria responds as she unlocks the door, pushing it open. "I just don't want you to be your clumsy self and hurt yourself more." She tells him, her hand on his back as he pulls himself into the loft.

"I am just glad to be out of the hospital. I miss my own bed.... which I won't see for the next three months." Buck says with a sigh as he looks up the stairs that led to his bed. "Guess I am sleeping down here." He admits as he starts to make his way toward the couch. Victoria frowns lightly.

"On the couch?" She asks hesitantly and Buck shrugs as he sits down, placing his crutches beside him.

"You helped me pick it out so it's comfy." He says with a cheeky smile. Victoria bites her lip as she moves over toward him, fiddling with her fingers.

"Or you could just stay with me." Victoria suggests. It wouldn't be forever. God knows she wasn't ready to be living with him yet but this was different, he was hurt and needed help. She didn't want Maddie to have to come over every day to help him, Victoria could do that if he was staying with her. But Buck shakes his head.

"It's fine."

"You took care of me when I was hurt, this is me returning the favour." Victoria tells him, not about to take no for an answer. "Being your nurse." She says with a smile, bringing back what he said in the hospital.

"I recall you being a very rude patient." Buck teases her with a smirk and she scoffs, rolling her eyes a bit.

"Wow." Victoria slaps his chest a bit as he laughs. "I'm serious though. Rosie wouldn't mind, she was really worried about you." She admits. Rosie had texted her none stop while in the hospital. Majority was for her but she still asked about Buck quite frequently.

"Right, Rosie was worried about me." Buck states with a firm nod and Victoria just presses her tongue to the inside of her cheek.

"I'll take my offer back if you keep being a smartass." She warns and Buck smiles before biting his bottom lip.

"You sure you don't mind?" Buck knew that he wouldn't be moving in permanently but a few months was still a long time at the beginning of a relationship. They had only been seeing each other for a little while and it was a big step.

"At least you can sleep in an actual bed." She points out, knowing it was infinitely better than the couch he claimed was so comfortable enough to sleep on.

"If you want me to sleep with you, all you have to do is ask." Buck teases with a wink. Victoria rolls her eyes as she slaps his chest a bit.

"So funny." She says, fake laughing for a moment. "No physical activity, you heard your doctor." Victoria states, pointing her finger at him. Buck grumbles as he crosses his arms against his chest.

"It still sucks." He admits. He understood he broke his leg and couldn't exactly perform but Victoria was more than happy on top, he didn't understand why the doctor said no physical activity completely. What was he supposed to do for three months?

"Look, I know im amazing but you can last a few months." Victoria says with a laugh, standing up, only to be pulled back down. She makes sure not to land anywhere near his bad leg.

"Oh, and you can?" Buck responds, raising his eyebrows. Victoria shakes her head as she brings her hand up to his jaw.

"You're not irresistible Buck." She admits as she is pulled in for a kiss. Buck pulls away once he was sure she was wanting more. And as he sees her lean back toward him slightly, he can't help but smirk.

"My good looks have you swooning." Buck teases and Victoria looks back at him, giving him a pointed stare.

"I'm gonna make you something to eat to have with your meds." She tells him, pressing one last kiss to his lips before standing up. Buck just sighs as he gets comfortable on the couch, his eyes following her as she walked to the kitchen.

••••

"HEY, WOAH. WOAH, BE CAREFUL." Buck says to his sister as he watches her rip the fabric of his pants. They were currently sitting in Victoria's kitchen as Maddie attempted to sew his pant leg back together that they had to cut in order to gain access to his leg on the scene. Maddie just looks at him, an annoyed expression on her face.

"Oh, were you going to sew these two pieces back together? I dont think so." Maddie points out as she just glares back at him.

"Doesn't mean you had to rip them." Buck mumbles as Maddie looks at what she just did. "Uh, huh. Looks terrible."  He states and she narrows her eyes.

"It's gonna be fine, okay?" Maddie responds with a sigh, sropping the pant leg on the table. "We're just gonna tuck it in the top of your cast. I don't even know why I'm taking you. You shouldn't be on your feet. You need to be healing." She states, still not on board for Buck going to any sort of event, even if it was for Eddie.

"Well, if you didn't I'd just ask Vic." Buck states with a shrug of his shoulders.

"What if she prioritizes your health like me?" Maddie retorts, looking over to Victoria.

"I'm the crippled one."

"You're not crippled." Victoria denies, pinching his arm making him groan a bit.

"Well, this is more important. If I break anything else, they can just fix that too with the other stuff." Buck states only to get pinched again and he glares over at his girlfriend.

"Please don't jinx it." Victoria pleads. She really didnt need him getting hurt anymore.

"Wait, what other stuff?" Maddie asks curiously, wondering what he was talking about.

"They want me to have another surgery." Buck admits and although Victoria already knew, Maddie looked shocked. "Uh, doctor wasn't happy with what he saw on the xrays,  so he wants to go back in and replace the rod and do some bone grafts." He explains to her and Maddie immediately becomes concerned.

"Well, do they think it's a delayed union, or non union? I mean, if it's just healing slower than expected, you could just wait a few weeks." She suggests but Buck lets out a scoff.

"I'm not waiting." He denies, seeing the way Victoria glanced away from him. "The sooner I have the surgery, the sooner I can go back to work." Buck states and Maddie stares at him for a minute.

"So the doctor does want you to wait." She knew what that meant. He wanted to go back to work so bad he was willing to jeopardize his health to do so. "You should listen to him. Okay, we're talking about your health. Your ability to walk. We're talking about the rest of your life." Maddie explains to him.

"No, being a firefighter is my life." Buck responds, his voice shaking as his eyes filled with tears. "It is the... the only thing I have ever done that felt important and that mattered, okay?" He admits and Victoria frowns, sniffling quietly as she listens to him. "Without that, i-i don't have--"

"You will still be Buck. Okay? And we will still love you." Maddie assures him but Buck just shakes his head. "There are lots of other important things that you can do with your life." She points out.

"No." Buck states instantly. Victoria looks down at her hands. "No, I've already made my choice." He tells her and Maddie takes a deep breath as her eyes move over to Victoria.

"Vic, you're not gonna say anything?" Maddie asks her. Victoria could barely lift her eyes to look at them.

"She can't." Buck denies as their gazes meet. "She would do the same thing." He states. Victoria felt the tears prickle her eyes but she fights them away.

"I don't want you to hurt yourself more, though." Victoria denies. She wasn't going to fight him on the surgery, but waiting a few more weeks would do him more good than harm.

"Not getting this surgery would hurt me." Bucks voice cracks as he stares at her with pleading eyes. "Vic, please, respect my decision." He says, not wanting to fight with her as well.

"I do respect it." Victoria admits, she would never force Buck to not do what's right for him. "And I would make the same one." She would be going out of her mind just like he was but that doesnt change the fact that she was concerned. "I'm still worried." She says, grabbing his hand.

"Well, everything will be fine." Buck assures her and Maddie sighs as she shakes her head.

"You don't know that."

"Maddie can you just-- it's my final decision." Buck says with a frustrated tone. He didn't want to argue this anymore. "I don't want to do anything with my life other than being a firefighter." He denies.

"You could always become a paramedic, you'd still be making a difference." Victoria suggests. Hen and Chimney were both certified paramedic firefighters, he could go that route instead.

"And you'd settle for being a paramedic?" Buck asks her and she goes silent. Victoria didn't really know what he wanted her to say.

"If the doctor tells you anything, please tell me, okay?" She says, deciding to not fight it anymore.

"I will." Buck assures her, squeezing her hand. Maddie sighs as she looks back at her machine. She didn't mean to disregard what Buck wanted, she just wanted him safe. She didn't want him to completely lose his leg by going too fast with the surgeries. Maddie wanted him to take his time but knowing her brother, that wasn't happening.

••••

VICTORIA WAS SAT NEXT TO BUCK AT EDDIE'S CEREMONY. Their hands were intertwined as they listened to Bobby talk. She felt Buck turn his head, pressing a small kiss to her temple causing her to smile and glance at him momentarily. "People assume we choose this life. I'm not so sure. Sometimes I think this life chooses us." Bobby admits as he looks around. "For those that answer that call, there can be no doubt, no equivocation. It's not just the lives of those we serve that depend on us, but our own. The lives of our fellow firefighters and first responders. Today we welcome into those ranks a new brother. After a year of hard work and dedication, I am proud to officially declare that your probationary period is at an end." He says as he turns to Eddie,  holding out his hand.

"Welcome to the Los Angeles fire department, firefighter diaz." Bobby announces and Victoria smiles brightly as she claps along with everyone else as the men shake hands.

"Thank you, sir." Eddie says with a nod before pulling away. Victoria gets up from her seat as he walks toward the crowd after Christopher gave him some flowers which Victoria found adorable.

"Congratulations, Eddie." She tells him, pulling him in for a hug which he reciprocates.

"Thanks, Vic." He responds, pressing a quick kiss to her cheek before pulling away. "Guess you're stuck with me now." Eddie teases her and she lets out a dramatic sigh.

"How will I ever survive?" Victoria asks, rolling her eyes playfully. Eddie smiles, shaking his head.

"How's buck doing?" He asks curiously.

"He's being stubborn, like usual. But he's taking it easy." Victoria tells him with a smile.

"Buck, taking it easy? I don't buy it." Eddie denies in a teasing tone. Buck, who was only a few feet away from them, narrowed his gaze.

"You know, I can hear you both, right?" Buuck asks them. Victoria turns to face her boyfriend who was still in his seat.

"Yeah, but when you act like an idiot, I don't care." She admits as she places a hand on her hip. Buck sighs as he tilts his head back. "He tried to go in the shower by himself." Victoria tells Eddie who raises an eyebrow.

"Because I am very capable--"

"The doctor said he needs help until the cast comes off and what does he do? Almost hurts himself more." Victoria scolds, still mad at Buck for even thinking of showering by himself. There was a reason why his doctor told him he needed someone with him until he got the cast off since he refused to have a chair in their with him to be able to sit and not lose balance.

"I was fine." Buck grumbles.

"Because I was there." Victoria points out and Buck just clenches his jaw.

"You know, I was a much better nurse than you." He admits and she shakes her head.

"Too bad."

"You should listen to her, if you fall, you could injure your leg even worse." Eddie adds, also not wanting Buck out for longer than he should be. Buck groans as he crosses his arms against his chest.

"I already got scolded by her, I needed you to be on my side." He admits with a small pout and Victoria rolls her eyes.

"Right, you ask the army medic to be on your side regarding the complete disregard for your own health and safety." Victoria responds bluntly and Buck grabs her hand, tilting his head.

"Baby, can you just reason with me?" Buck pleads, giving it a squeeze but she only moves her hand from his grip, giving a firm shake of her head.

"Nope."

"Hey, how come you never called him probie?" Buck asks, changing the subject. He was the only one who got the constant name calling from Victoria. Eddie hadnt gotten it once.

"Because he wasn't an asshole." Victoria says with a smirk on her face. Buck scoffs as he places his hand on his chest.

"I was a complete gentlemen to you when I first came here." He responds. Victoria snorts as she raises an eyebrow.

"You were definitely not." She denies. Victoria only remembered hating his guts and that didn't change for a few months.

"You did kinda hate me when I first got here." Eddie adds and Buck clenches his jaw, looking at him with an unimpressed expression.

"With the way you're on her side now, I have no regrets." Buck admits, a glare set in his eyes, his tone stern. Eddie chuckles as he looks toward Victoria.

"We can just walk away and he won't be able to follow us." He tells her and Victoria raises an eyebrow before slowly moving her gaze back to Buck.

"Wow, I see how it is." Buck says with a scoff as he narrows his eyes. Victoria and eddie both smirk at him as they start walking in the opposite direction. "You both are children!" He calls out after them, gaining a few looks but he didn't care. He lets out a huff of air as he just crosses his arms against his chest.

••••

A GROAN LEAVES HER LIPS AS SHE SEARCHES THE KITCHEN. Victoria was trying to find her phone which seemed to have disappeared on her. She didnt necessarily need it right at this very moment but if there was an emergency with Buck, she wanted to have it on her. "Evan, have you seen my phone?" She asks curiously as she glances over at the man who was sat on the couch. He furrows his eyebrows as he meets her gaze.

"Didn't you just have it?" Buck answers her as he watches her walk around, searching everywhere that she could see.

"Yes, but then I put it down to get something and now I can't find it." Victoria admits with a sigh, placing her hands on her hips. Buck moves to grab his crutches.

"I'll help you look." He says but she instantly turns to him, pointing her finger at him.

"Stay." She demands sternly, not wanting him to get up just to search for her stupid phone that wanted to hide on her. Buck raises an eyebrow.

"Stay? What am I, a dog?" Buck asks her and Victoria groans, not really in the mood to joke with him right now.

"Can you just call it?" Victoria asks as Rosie comes out of her bedroom.

"What's she doing?" She asks curiously as she watches her sister practically tear the apartment apart.

"She lost her phone." Buck tells her as he goes into his phone in order to get to her contact. Rosie looks beside her, seeing the phone resting on the table.

"It's right here." Rosie states and Victoria gives a thankful smile as she takes it from the girl. Rosie sits down beside buck. "How's the leg?" She questions, gesturing to it.

"Same as yesterday." Buck admits. The pain hadn't really changed, he just felt a bit more tired from the meds.

"Doesn't it get itchy in that cast?" Rosie couldn't even imagine not being able to stretch an itch.

"Oh, yeah."

"I'd love to be in a cast so I didn't have to go to school." Rosie admits as she rests her chin in the palm of her hand.

"Don't put that into the universe." Victoria warns her. "And you'd still be going to school." She points out.

"So, he gets to miss work but I wouldn't be able to miss school?" Rosie asks, feeling that wasn't fair in the slightest. Victoria slightly glares toward her.

"He can't go to work, Rosie." She retorts. Rosie stays silent for a moment.

"Right, sorry." She apologizes, completely forgetting that and giving a tight smile toward Buck. "Can I have a friend over?" Rosie asks, suddenly changing the subject.

"A friend?" Victoria asks, a bit suspiciously because it was usually just May or Jennie and she never asked to have them over.

"Yeah."

"Do I know her?" She questions and she could see that her sister was hesitant to answer.

"It's a guy." Rosie admits and Victoria was shocked for a moment. She didn't even really know what to say at first since this had never happened.

"A boy? You want to invite a boy over?" Victoria responds, just trying to make sure she heard it right.

"Please don't make it weird." Rosie mutters, not needing Victoria to go into full interrogation mode.

"It's not weird you just haven't asked before." Victoria says with a small shrug.

"I'm regretting it right now." She mumbles as she looks down at her hands.

"How'd you meet this boy?" Victoria asks curiously. She just wanted to know a few things before she met him, was that a crime?

"He's in my science class." Rosie tells her and she sees the look Victoria was giving her. "We're just friends." She admits and Victoria narrows her eyes.

"Mhm."

"We are. Don't even start." Rosie warns with a small groan.

"Does he know that?" Victoria questions, knowing boys often took hints that weren't there.

"Trust me, he does." She assures them, rubbing her face a bit. Victoria hesitates, glancing toward Buck but she eventually gives in.

"Uh, yeah, he can come over." Victoria tells her and Rosie let's out a sigh of relief. "Door stays open though." She adds.

"Oh, my god. You are so embarrassing." Rosie groans, turning red as she glances toward Buck who was listening to the entire conversation.

"It's Buck, he won't judge you." Victoria says with a laugh, crossing her arms against her chest.

"No. But he should judge you." She retorts in a grumble, practically sulking.

"You're fifteen, I know how the teenage mind works." Victoria points out and Rosie covers her face.

"It's not like that." Rosie denies but as she looks back at them, she could see that they were both unconvinced. "It isn't!" She shouts a bit, getting frustrated. "Ugh, just forget it." She throws her hands in the air before turning and walking toward her room.

"I promise, I'll be on my best behaviour." Victoria calls out after her, smirking lightly as the door closes. Her eyes move to Buck as she walks over to him. "What do you think?" She asks him curiously and Buck thinks to himself for a moment.

"Oh, he's totally her boyfriend." Buck agrees with a nod and Victoria laughs a bit.

"See, I'm not crazy." Victoria responds with a smile and Buck returns it. She just leans toward him, stopping for a moment as their lips hover each other before she kisses him. Buck rests his hands on her waist, kissing her back deeply as he pulled her ever so closer to her. But Victoria creates a bit of distance so she wasn't near his leg, making the kiss a bit more shallow.

"Ew, you two better not be doing this when he gets here." Rosie groans causing them to pull away from each other. Victoria sighs as she rests against Buck, closing her eyes for a moment. The downside to having him stay with them was Rosie was constantly around so kissing for more than five seconds?

Yeah that was out the window.

••••

VICTORIA WAS STIRRING THE SPOON IN THE POT, her eyes concentrated. Who knows what Rosie would do if she messed it up. Feeling an arm wrap around her waist, she smiles as lips connect to her neck. "You really can't sit still, can you?" She teases as she tilts her head a bit, still stirring but allowing him to continue what he's doing. They couldn't go very far but Buck was very much a physical person, whether it's holding her hand, kissing her, or even brushing his leg against hers, he constantly needed some sort of physical contact.

She didn't mind though since she was the same way once she got used to the person.

"It hurts when I sit down for a long time." He admits, shifting lightly. His crutches were now placed beside them as he wrapped both his arms around her. Victoria frowns as she looks up at him.

"Are you in pain now?" She asks him curiously but he shakes his head.

"No, I'm fine."

"Buck." She scolds, knowing he could be just pretending. But he smiles as he leans down a bit, pressing a soft kiss to her lips.

"Really, I'm good." He assures her before they kiss again. Victoria places her hands on his chest as he leans slightly against her.

"You know, if you put your whole body weight on me we're both going down, right?" She tells him with a smile and he looks down at where his leg was positioned.

"Don't worry, I won't." Buck says with a chuckle before reconnecting the kiss. She sighs into it, feeling the stress leave her body for a brief second. It was slow but passionate as one of his hands move into her hair, gripping it lightly. Victoria wanted to deepen it with all her being but she knew she couldn't. She didn't want to risk hurting him. Luckily they were interrupted before it could even go anywhere.

"He's here." Rosie says as she comes out of her room. Victoria glances toward her after pulling away from Buck before she heard the knock on the door.  "Remember, no interrogations and don't... just act normal." She states, pointing at Victoria who raises an eyebrow.

"How did you think I was gonna act?" Victoria responds while Rosie turns back to them once more.

"And stop kissing each other." She demands making Victoria roll her eyes.

"We're not even--" Victoria stops herself though, not even wanting to waste the breath. Buck chuckles a bit before making his way back to the chair he was sitting on.

Rosie opens the door, a smile forming as Jacob stands in front of her. "Hey Jake." She says as she meets his gaze. He smiles when he sees her, offering a small wave.

"Hey."

"Uh, come in." Rosie tells him, moving out of the way so he could walk past her.

"Thanks." Jacob walks inside, Rosie closing the door behind him. Victoria moves away from the counter in order to greet him.

"This is my sister." Rosie says as she gestures over toward Victoria who extends her hand.

"Vic. It's nice to meet you." She says with a smile and Jacob shakes her hand.

"Jacob, but everyone just calls me Jake." He responds.

"Noted." Victoria says before looking toward Buck. "This is my boyfriend, Buck." She tells him and Jacob nods his head toward him.

"It's nice to meet both of you." Jacob says with a smile before his eyes drift to Buck's leg. "Oh, what happened?" He groans when Rosie hits him harshly, giving him a small glare.

"Sorry, I told him not to bring it up." Rosie admits with a sheepish smile, looking back at Buck. Jacob gets a dawn of realization over his face.

"Shit, you're the one who.... sorry." He apologizes, feeling bad since Rosie did explain how he was crushed by a firetruck.

"It's fine. I don't mind talking about it." Buck assures, not wanting them to feel awkward bringing it up. It was pretty hard to ignore. Victoria clears her throat as she crosses her arms against her chest.

"So, Rosie told us you are in science class together?" Victoria says, raising her eyebrows. Rosie's eyes widen slightly and she gives her sister a pointed stare.

"Yeah, we're partners." Jacob states with a nod.

"Lab partners." Rosie is quick to correct him which makes his eyebrows furrow.

"That's what I meant." He responds, bit confused. Victoria tilts her head.

"So you're fifteen?"

"Sixteen-- early birthday." Jacob corrects her with a smile. Victoria glances toward Rosie who was covering her face.

"Mhm." She hums before smiling back at him. "Well, make yourself comfortable." Victoria tells him before walking back to the kitchen. As Jacob takes the seat beside Buck, the older man gestures to his jacket.

"You on the team?" Buck questions curiously. Jacob looks down momentarily.

"Yeah, second year." He answers with a nod. "You play?" Jacob asks.

"I did, yeah. Mainly because I knew it would piss my parents off." Buck admits with a small laugh which Jacob returns as he nods.

"I get that. My mom was so mad when I told her I made the team." He states. His mom almost pulled him from the team when she learned he was tackled even though that's part of the game and he wasnt injured.

"Looking to go pro or is it just for scholarships when you get to college?" Buck asks him curiously and Jacob shrugs his shoulders.

"Uh, I don't know. It's kind of just for fun right now, still getting the feel for it." He admits. "You should come to a game sometime." Jacob suggests. Victoria stops what she was doing, just staring at Buck who already knew what she was going to say.

"He's just asking me to watch, not join in on the match." Buck says before she can open her mouth. Victoria clenches her jaw, narrowing her eyes a bit.

"Mhm." She hums, looking away from him.

"Everything good?" Jacob asks as he saw Rosie looked perplexed as she stared down at her phone.

"Jennie's just freaking because she found out Matt went on a date with another girl." Rosie explains to him and Jacob felt the annoyance build up inside of him.

"Matt Duval? Seriously?" Jacob asks with a bit of a scoff. The man was on the football team as well but Jacob wasn't his biggest fan.

"Yeah, she doesn't have the greatest taste." She denies with a small sigh. Rosie tried to change it but she always went for the guys who were horrible to her.

"Isn't he the one that had that rape allegation last year?" Victoria asks curiously, wondering if she remembered that correctly.

"The one that the police didn't take seriously? Yeah." Rosie mumbled with a scoff, shaking her head. "Again, her taste in boys is abysmal." She admits as she runs a hand through her hair.

"Didn't I set her up with Keegan?" Jacob states. He could've sworn she said it had went well.

"She said he was boring."

"Because he's nice?" Jacob asks her a bit confused. Keegan was a sweetheart and had a lot of interests, he didn't get why Jennie wasn't into him.

"I don't even know." Rosie mumbles before her gaze moves to Buck. "Were you an asshole in high-school?" She questions him curiously. Buck raises his eyebrows.

"Wow, I feel targeted." Buck admits with a small laugh.

"Buck couldn't harm a fly." Victoria denies. She really couldn't see him bullying anyone, even years ago.

"Mm, Buck 2.0 can't harm a fly." Rosie corrects her and Victoria rolls her eyes a bit.

"2.0?" Jacob asks, glancing between them. Rosie waves him off, signaling that she'll tell him later.

"I was a gentlemen, thank you very much." Buck corrects her but with the way Rosie just stared at him, that didn't seem to be enough.

"I'll need proof."

"I don't keep in contact with anyone from school." Buck denies with a shrug of his shoulders. He kind of left most of his life behind when he ditched his parents and he didn't regret it.

"Rjght, because that was ages ago." Rosie states with a nod and Buck just stares back at her before his eyes move to Victoria.

"Did she just call us old?" Victoria asks him and Buck hums.

"You're thirty next year." Rosie points out causing Victoria to groan a little bit.

"How much are you gonna bring that up?" She questions and Rosie shrugs her shoulders. Jacob laughs as he looks down at his phone. "Jake, I never asked, you're not allergic to anything, right?" Victoria asks him and Jacob gives her a polite smile as he shakes his head.

"Nah, you're good."

"He's like a human garbage disposal, he eats anything." Rosie admits as she hits his arm. Jacob didn't look impressed as he clicked his tongue.

"Why am I your friend again? You just bully me." Jacob says as he narrows his eyes. Rosie only smirks as she tilts her head before going back to texting Jennie. Victoria smiles as she shakes her head, looking toward Buck who was holding his leg a bit.

A frown immediately takes over her features and she moves over to him. Buck only gives her a smile, silently indicating that he was okay. She hesitated but headed back over to the stove in order to finish making dinner.
