Police academy princess

Chapter 2

Dan's pov

It's friday, I'm sitting on the academy steps waiting for Samantha to come home from school. It's going to be a good weekend. I'm sending all the other cadets and sergeants home so we can have bonding time. Her bus pulls up and she gets off and walks towards me looking pissed as ever. "Kiddo what's wrong?"I ask while trying to pick her up. She dodges me, " I don't want you to hold me Dan," she says while glaring at me. I grab her arm and pull her close to me, "young lady, I advise you to never speak to me like that again, I don't know what's wrong with you, but you need to fix your attitude real quick before we make a trip to your room and have a "discussion". I say hoping she'll change her attitude. She looks at me and storms off. Oh hell no. She did not just turn her back on me. I walk up beside here and grab her arm and spin her around. I bend down so we're on the same level. "Samantha you are treading on very thing ice. This is the last time I'm telling you to fix your attitude. You never turn your back when I'm speaking to you. I respect you so I expect you to respect me. I think you need to go spend some quiet time in your room and cool off. " I pick her up and put her on my hip. She starts wiggling trying to get me to put her down. I smack her butt three times. "Samantha I'm not playing, stop acting like a brat. " I carry her and lay her on her bed. I slip her sneakers off and pull the covers up to her chin. I bend down and kiss her head. "Samantha you need to try to get some rest. You are acting very cranky. I will be back in an hour. Don't leave your bed until I tell you. I love you sweetheart." I say while turning off her light and shutting the door.

I walk back to my office. I sit down in my chair and put my head in my hands. Sometimes this kid can be so difficult. She can go from being a perfect child to being the worst in a matter of seconds. I love her to death and would do anything to protect her. I remember 8 years ago discovering the kid. It was the dead of winter. I just sent my cadets,I was training at the time, on a run. As I was walking around the building I heard a very faint cry like someone just kicked a puppy or a kitten. I got closer and saw a baby in a car seat on the ground. She was just in a diaper. I picked her up and she blue and barley breathing. I quickly took my jacket off and wrapped her up in it. I ran all the way to the medical department. Then they called an ambulance. I don't know why or how but I got attached to this little baby. None of the other sergeants have seen me caring toward something. But I don't know what it was about this baby she just tugged on my heart. I used to tell everyone I never wanted to have a wife or children. I wasn't a nurturing guy. I was a big bad police sergeant. I grew up in foster care so I never knew what love felt like. I waited at the hospital for three days until they would let me see her again. She arrived in critical condition and finally she was stable and improving. They led me back into a long hall way into a room, in the middle of the room was a crib and in the middle laid this tiny baby. I walked over and was stunned how beautiful she was. She had stunning blue eyes and black hair. The nurse asked if I wanted to hold her and I said yes. She gently brought the baby to me and handed me her. I looked down at her while she was looking at me. I knew then I wasn't ever letting go. We went through a long process but in the end I was given full custody. I named her Samantha and put the day I found her on the birth record. She is still the best thing that has ever happen and I'm thankful everyday for her. She brings light, innocence, and promise into this place.

I look at the clock and see a hour has passed. I go back to her room and see her sleeping sucking her thumb. A bad habit that we have trying to erase. I walk over to her and take her thumb out of her mouth."kiddo it's time to wake," I say while rubbing her back. She wakes up and reaches up to me. I pick her up and sit down and set her on my lap. "I'm sorry I was being grumpy Dan," she says whiles laying her head against my chest. "It's ok kiddo. Why were you so grumpy in the first place," I say while rubbing her back. "Because we were making Father's Day cards in school today and everyone else got to put daddy on theirs except me," she says while tearing up. I take her chin get make her look up to me. " Samantha I love you as much as a father loves a daughter and just because I'm not your blood father doesn't mean your any different from anyone else." She nods her head. "Maybe I can call you daddy now too. " she asks almost afraid of the answer. I hug her and tell her I would be honored if you called me that.

Thanks for the reads. I hope you enjoyed this one :)
