Shannon Diaz (October 16, 1992 - May 6, 2019) was Eddie's wife and Christopher's mom.

History

Early Life

Shannon was Eddie's first girlfriend. They got married after she became pregnant, due to pressure from their religious community. In 2011, she gave birth to their son, Christopher. Eddie enlisted while Shannon was pregnant, and while present for the birth was deployed for most of the first few years of Christopher's life. Raising Christopher alone was difficult, especially considering his medical needs, which created strife in her relationship with Eddie. After Eddie returned for good, Shannon left Texas to take care of her sick mother in LA, leaving only a note stating that she needed time too. After her mother's death, she chose to stay in LA, disappearing for a little over two years.

Reconciling with Eddie and Christopher

After around two or three years, Shannon and Eddie reunite in Eddie's new home in Los Angeles, after Shannon was needed there to give consent for Christopher's new school. Shannon's stay in town is extended after she and Eddie started fighting over past disputed, which leads to Shannon opening up about her struggles with raising Christopher all alone. Eddie and Shannon then share an intimate kiss that later leads to sex.

Eddie and Shannon continue to sleep together in secret, until Shannon became adamant about seeing Christopher. She thought since they made amends, so they could be a family. However, Eddie is hesitant, making Shannon believe he hadn't forgiven her yet. Finally, he allows it, and on Christmas morning, Shannon surprises her son in their front yard.

Shannon continues to stay in Eddie and Christopher's lives, including staying by Eddie's side during Chimney's hospitalization, and them discussing their financial situation together.

Death

After a few months of living together, Shannon asks Eddie for clarification on her spot in his life. She then reveals that she is pregnant. This spurs Eddie to ask her to reconcile shortly after. She reveals that she was mistaken about the pregnancy, and that she had re-evaluated thier life, deciding she wants a divorce. She also tells Eddie about a unsent letter she wrote to Christopher after she left Texas, explaining why she left.

The next morning, Eddie and the 118 attend a car wreck with a severely injured victim, who is revealed to be Shannon. She apologizes to Eddie for leaving again, and her last words to Eddie are 'I love you both'. She flatlines in the ambulance, and the hospital is unable to resuscitate her. Both the Diazes and the 118 mourn her death, with Eddie later breaking down crying after reading her letter. Chimney doubts his actions, as he allowed Shannon to talk with Eddie before intubating her. He wonders if that delay killed her, but Hen insists that there was nothing they could have done.
