Back at the firehouse

Dawson's pov
I pull the ambo into the bay. I notice that when I was pilling in that Casey's truck was missing out front. I then remember that my phone was going off during the call. I couldn't answer it because we were buys. I look at it at realize that it's the daycare center. Just as I'm about to call them back I see Mat pull up into his spot on the street. I walk over to him. "Hey babe what did the daycare want?" I say as he hops out of the car. Jace got sick some little girl was sick last week and he and someone else caught it. Chloe said there is nothing to worry about that it would pass in 24 hours." He says to me "Well what are we going to do we can't leave him here while we are on shift?" I say. "Don't worry, I got it covered chief says he can stay here in my office till my sister gets here in an hour or so. Jace is sacked out so I'm going to put him to sleep in my office." He says. "I've got him" I say as I go around to the other side of the car and get Jace. I unbuckle him from his car seat. I carefully pick him up trying not to wake him. The second that he's in my arms he lays his head down on my chest and is out again. Casey and I take him in the side door so that the others will not wake him. Once in Casey's office I gently lay him down on the cot and I curl up next to him while mat finishes paperwork.
