'Ight baby, how you feeling?' Calum turned into my arms, whimpering
'Whats up love bug?' I didn't get an answer so I gently turn his head so he was facing me.
'Can I have an answer baby?'
He suddenly started crying into my chest. I held him in my arms securely, until I knew he'd calmed down.
'Talk to me love,'
'H-Had a b-bad, bad d-dream D-daddy,'
'Aww, it's okay bub, do you wanna talk about it?'
'N-not r-really, just w-wanna go sleeps a-again,'
'Love its 10am, you're going to need to get out of bed for me, come and eat your breakfast,'
'B-okay, ups please?' I nod and pick him up.

I poured a bowl of cereal and Calum ate without complaining, or looking around, and refusing to look anywhere but his cereal.
'Baby, Daddy's gotta go to work,' he got up and clung to me straight away.
'Noo Daddy. Daddy it'll be bad day without you here I can feel it. Please don't go today,' tears were spilled as I tried to get out of his grip.
'Okay, Daddy'll stay at home with you baby, let him phone in,' technically I don't need to as I'm the boss of a huge company.
'O-okay, Daddy don't go?'
'I won't go, okay, I'll stay in with you, yeah? I can't stay home everyday though,' he nods and let's me get up
I held him close to my chest as I spoke to my security, kissing at his head every now and then.
'Thank you, bye.' I hung up and picked Cal up.
'Daddy,'
'Hm?'
'Cuddles please,'
'Sure,'

2 weeks on
'Baby, love, Cally, are you awake?'
'Uh huh,'
Calum comes out of the room and yawns. Beautiful.
'We're going shopping today, so when you've ate your breakfast, can you get ready?' He nods and rubs his eyes.
'did you sleep well lovely?'
'Dreamt about unicorns,' he whispered tiredly
'What time did you go to bed Love?'
'Dunno 'coz I fell asleep when I was waiting for you,'  I didn't even get back until 1:30am.
' What time do you think you fell asleep?'
'I don't know,' I nod
'Did you eat love?'
'I had 2 sandwiches but didn't have a hot meal 'coz m not allowed to use the oven and I didn't want to order anything 'coz that means I have to talk to someone over the phone and I don't like that, at all,'
'Well because I wasn't home to cook you anything, 1, you're getting an extra £10 and 2, I'm making a new rule,'
'How much do I have at the moment?'
'Well you've had £5 a day for the last 3 weeks, what's 21 times 5?'
'£105,'
'Plus 10,'
'£115,'
I nod.
'Thats how much you have, you can either spend it all today, or send some and save the rest for another time,' he nods and takes his bowl into the kitchen.
'Help me choose my outfit please,'
I smile and pick him up, him squealing.
'I want you to wear these,'
I handed him a pair of black laced underwear, making him blush.
' Can I wear this? Pleasssse?'
'Lets see love,'

'Yeah, it's an adorable outfit,'

'Wait, Cally bub, that person is crying over there, can we go see what's up with them?' Cal nods and follows me.
'Heyyy, are you okay there?' I say gently.
'Nuh uh,' the kid whimpered.
' Whats up?'
'M Daddy lef me eyuh,'
'What do you mean love?'
'M no know who ou awe, no talk stander,'

'Whats your Daddys name love?'
'Wichie,'
'Do you have a phone love?'
'Uh huh, eyuh,' Mikey hands me the phone.
'C'mon love, follow me,'
His name is Michael Clifford, 19, a little, and lives in the flats opposite here.
'M hungry,' Calum whispered.
' Mikey can you hold my hand?' Mikey nods and takes my hand.
'Lets go get a McDonald's,' I say.

Cal looked exhausted by the time we'd left McDonald's, so I took them both to my car.
I drove to Michael's address and knocked on the door.
'Heller?' Some guy said
'Hi, does Michael Clifford live here?'
'Who's that Luke?'
'Richie, who's Michael Clifford?'
'What?'
'You heard,'
'Let me handle this,'
'Answer me Richard,'
'an ex ,'
'Can I come in and take Michael's stuff?'
'Whys the kids stuff here?'
Mikey stirred and whined, holding onto my shirt.
'Who ou?'
'Who are you?'
'I say fiws,'
'Luke Hemmings,'
'I Mikey,'
'Daddyy m sleepyyyy,' Calum whined unhappily.
'I know bubs,'
'Whys the fucking kids stuff here Richard?'
'Uhh,'
'Daddy?' Mikey whimpered.
' What the Fuck?'
'I broke up with him,'
'When?' Richard didn't answer.
'Fucking when Richard?' Luke got slapped
'Don't talk to me like that you stupid dog, this morning,'
'We've been fucking dating for 5 months,'
'I said don't talk to me like that,'
Luke barked and growled as Richard punched him.
Mikey started crying.
' We're done Richard, done,'
'Wuke cwyin,' Mikey stammered.
'So are you,' I was given a bag of Mikey's things.
'Leave,'
'Luke have you got anywhere to go?' I ask the crying boy.
'Nope,'
'Stay at ours,'
'I couldn't,'
'Please, I don't want you unsafe,'
'Fine,' I smile and take the three back to my car
' Daddy m sleepyyyy,' Cal mumbled, getting upset
'I know baby, buckle up for me, and when we get home you can have a nap, yeah?'
'Can sleeps in car?' I nod and start the engine.

It took an hour to get home but we're back now, and Calum's fast asleep.
'Luke, could you make sure Mikey doesn't fall, he's clumsy?'
'Sure,'
I lift Cal up and take him into the house.
Luke and Mikey followed, and Luke gasped with shock.
'Th-this house is so big,' Luke said, dog ears perking up.
'D-Daddy?' Cal mumbled.
'yeah lovely?'
He hums and snuggles into me.

'Tell me a bit about yourself Luke,' I say, looking at Luke, who had his ears flattened and was looking terrified
'L-Like what?'
'How old are you?'
'Just turned eighteen,'
Luke was digging his nails into his arms.
' Please stop that,'
He tilted his head, not realising what I meant.
'you're hurting yourself,'
'Oh,' He looked about and stared at a particular object
'Whatcha looking at?'
'B-ball,'
'Do you want it?'
'Can I?'
'Go ahead,'
I notice Luke had a little toy thing in his pocket.
' Whats this?'
'Chewy the penguin, my chew toy/best friend,'
'So if I did this,' I went to grab his toy and he growled.
'Mine,'
'Okay then, relax,'
He put 'Chewy' in between his sharp teeth. I smile and pet his ears, making him stare at me.
