The first and the last fight Eddie and Ana had
In a short few months they were together Eddie and Ana never had even a small disagreement. Their relationship was nice. Yes, nice was the only word anyone would describe it. Just plain nice. Perhaps it seemed perfect because it was new, perhaps it was because none of them wanted to scare each other off, so they played the role of a perfect partner whenever they were together.
Anyway, when the first voiced disagreement finally happened, naturally it was about parenting. Because as much as Eddie tried to be respectful, polite and keep his preferences and opinions to himself, he would never stay silent when someone challenges his abilities as a parent.
Eddie and Ana got into an argument concerning Buck and their parenting of Christopher. About how Buck finds and encourages outdoor activities for Chris, which Ana believes are too dangerous for the kid with CP. Never mind that it's all researched thoroughly and approved by doctors.
She oversteps, and it all spiraled the moment Eddie called Christopher our son while speaking of Buck:
Eddie: How we raise our son is none of your concern *coldly*
Ana: I'm sorry, did I hear this right? Our son? Are you kidding me right now? *outraged*
Eddie: Yes, our. You know, at the start of this relationship you assumed there was no one since Shannon, that I've been raising Chris alone. Well, this is far from the truth. I had help from my Abuela and tia, my family from 118 but most importantly I had Buck. Evan has been Christopher's other dad for years. He was there for us since our move here when we were just mere acquaintances and I've never been more grateful for having this incredible man in our life. So I don't appreciate you criticizing our way of parenting, especially when no one even asked you.
Ana thought that eventually she would step in as a parent in Christopher’s life, when Eddie never gave her any indication that it will ever happen. Yes, she is his girlfriend (not for a long, though). But even if things between them got serious, she would never be a step-mother. This was never about finding another mother for Christopher, despite what others might think. His son already had a mom, and now he has two dads and that was it. Buck is his co-parent, no one will take his place. It might be a little unconventional but that's how their family works.
Truth be told, he wasn't sure about asking her out after the fiasco with skateboard at school and how it was handled and the things that were said. But Eddie gave Ana the benefit of the doubt, which turns out was a mistake on his part. She hasn't changed at all.
