Bean

Chapter 4: Work, baby, and school equals stress!

Nine months later little Bean was about nine months old and had learned to sit up and rock on his hands and knees a month ago and he was trying to crawl which was a little scary to Almond.

He had to baby proof everything and it was very stressful for him cause he had to work too and take his daughter to school. Good lord it was taking it's toll on him and he wanted help.

He layed Bean down for a nap in his playpen an plopped himself on his office chair. "Meow?" A black batcat named Constable Whiskers hopped into his lap and he sighed petted them.

"Thanks my friend" Almond whispered and he watched the baby turn his head in his sleep and smiled. He then yawned and soon he was fast asleep like his boy until his phone suddenly rang

He jumped awake and answered his phone as the baby woke up and cried hard. "Hello?" Almond said and he sighed as he put his shoulder against his phone and balanced it carefully.

"Is this Almond?" Said a voice that Almond didn't recognize. "Yes who is this?" Almond asked calmly. But instead of an answer he heard a lullaby being hummed softly and Bean calmed down.

"What the?! Hey who are you?!" Almond suddenly was on alert and shouted at the person on the phone. He wanted to know who it was and how did they calm his son down with no problem.

Suddenly they hung up and Almond looked upset and redailed the number and it was a number that they disconnected and he hot more upset and slammed his phone down in anger.

"Damn it!" He shouted and he felt Bean jump and tear up and whimper in fear. "Oh Beanie no~ shh shh~" Almond whispered and he rubbed his back and soothed him as he rocked him.

This made Bean calm down but still was fussy as his phone rang again. 'Now what?' He thought and answered his phone again. "Detecive Almond? This Ms. Latte Cookie."

"Hello Latte what's wrong? Is everything ok with Walnut?" His stress levels were getting more stressed. "Actually she got a fight with another student. Can you please come get her?"

This wasn't a great day for Almond at all. He felt so stressed out now Bean was fussy and now his daughter was in trouble with school. What else can go wrong today?!

Suddenly he boss called and he felt like screaming at him and telling him to shove it where the sun didn't shine but he took a deep shaky breath and answered his phone again.

"Hello sir?" "Detective Almond Phantom Bleu has struck again!" His commissioner shouted which caused the poor baby to cry hard and made Almond sigh but suddenly perked up.

"Wait did you say Phantom Bleu?! I'm on my way!" He hopped up and soothed Bean and then put him in a sling and rushed to the scene completely forgetting his own daughter.

At the scene he looked at the stuff Phantom Bleu left behind and wrote it in his journal as Bean babbled and cooed softly. "So what did he steal?" He asked Butter Pretzel Cookie.

"My latest masterpiece! I worked hard on it!" She shouted and it caused Bean to jump and whimper. "Shhh shhh~" Almond soothed him and he rubbed his belly softly "it's ok~"

"Don't worry about this I'll stop them" Almond said to Butter Pretzel. "Thank sir" she said with a sigh and she walked away as Almond's phone suddenly rang again and it was Latte and he paled.

"H-hey Latte I-" "ALMOND COOKIE! I TOLD YOU TO COME HERE AND YOU'RE LATE!!!" She shouted as Bean wailed from her shouting. This wasn't his day and he was going regret this a lot.
