Professional Trainer.Master.Daddy? novel Chapter 17

Elijah POV.

"What do you mean chief come on please get someone else!" I plead with my boss on the phone this isn't happening.

"Well fuck you too Riley! thank you for nothing" I'm not proud of swearing at my own boss, but this is bad really bad.

Three of our officers are down, responding to a domestic violence case, the crazy dom shot them, nothing serious but they are out of duty for at least a month. That means they want me to go back to work soon, I had some time off since I adopted Toby, but now they wanted me back.

"Daddyy..." I heard Toby cries from his room, I've just put him down for bed, great, now I ruined my own baby sleep. I went to his room, he was sitting up in his crib, hugging the same unicorn and crying.

"It's okay little guy go back to sleep" I try and fail to get him to lie down again, his paci is somewhere lost in his sheets, his eyes are getting red and his cries louder. This is a lost fight, I pick him up into my arms and search for the paci, once founded I took it toward the bathroom for a wash before giving it back to him.

He sucked on it happily but still refused to sleep, or even close his eyes, setting him back into his crib is gonna be a lost cause, instead, I took him to my bed. I slipped under the covers with him in my arms, still fully awake, I laid his head on my chest petting his ears and head. I felt his tail move happily and a purr against my chest, I kept the same motion until finally I felt him relax more and falling back to sleep, soft snores leaving his mouth.

This is bad, I don't have a babysitter for Toby, not this quickly, I could take him to my mother's house but they haven't met yet, I'm worried she'll overwhelm him. His brother's house wasn't an option either, Blake needs to work, and with Kayla being pregnant and all, the little kitten would only cause her stress.

Getting his bag, leash, bottles, milk, snacks, a change of clothes just in case, I was ready to leave, we'll have breakfast at the station, that if Toby wakes up, lazy little, but to be honest it's hardly six am. Chief Riley would be in the station around six, I wanted to get there early and talk to her, Toby is my secret weapon not to get in trouble for cursing at her. To be honest, we're all friends with the chief, she's an older sister to everyone around here, and her being a mommy dom is a big plus for my case.

Toby was finally awake, well fully awake when I took him out of his car seat and walked him into the station, which got his attention now.

"Dady down" he demands being held by me wasn't cutting it for the curious little.

"No Toby you're staying with daddy," I tell him making him pout, we went straight to Riley's office, she allowed us in but had this glare on her face, until she saw Toby, my secret weapon, her face softened and she smiled at him.
