My dad the rockstar

Chapter 29

{Ronnie's POV} 

When I woke up, I climbed out of bed I opened my bedroom door and left my room I walked downstairs and walked into the kitchen. I heard a noise coming from the backyard I unlocked the backdoor and opened it I walked outside and found a solid black kitten sitting on the back steps I felt bad for the kitten and let it inside the house. I closed the door and locked it I left the kitchen and ran upstairs I ran into my dad's room and climbed up onto his bed. 

"Daddy wake up." I said, gently shaking him. 

"Five more minutes." my dad mumbled. 

"I need your help in the kitchen." 

My dad stretched and climbed out of bed I climbed down from his bed and left the room I walked back downstairs. I walked back into the kitchen the kitten was sitting under the table I knelt down the kitten crawled out from under the table and walked over to me. My dad came into the kitchen he looked at me and noticed the black kitten. 

"Sweetheart where did you get the kitten?" He asked. 

"I heard a noise out in the backyard and I opened the backdoor and found the kitten on the back steps I felt bad for the baby and brought it inside." I said, looking up at my dad. 

"Stay here I'm going to check the yard for the kitten's mom and siblings." 

My dad walked out the backdoor I waited for him to come back he came back inside the house and closed the back door and locked it. 

"Did you find the mommy or siblings?" I asked. 

"Afraid not let's get dressed and we'll take the kitten to the animal shelter and find out if it belongs to anyone." He replied. 

"Can we keep it please." 

"Yes, if the kitten belongs to no one and no one claims the kitten we can keep the kitten." 

My dad picked me up he placed me on his hip and carried me upstairs to get dressed after my dad and I were dressed we walked back downstairs my dad placed the kitten in a pet carrier he helped me put on my sweat jacket my dad put on his sweat jacket. We left the house and walked down to my dad's SUV, he unlocked the doors my dad opened the backseat door he placed me in my car seat and buckled me in. He closed the backseat door and climbed into the front seat my dad sat the pet carrier in the passenger seat and put the seat belt across it my dad started the engine and drove away. 

"Daddy, I'm sorry that I went outside without permission." I said. 

"It's okay sweetheart you did the right thing by coming to get me. Did you touch the kitten?" my dad asked worried. 

"No because you told me to never pet a stray cat or dog." 

When we arrived at the animal shelter my dad parked the SUV and killed the engine, he climbed out of the SUV with the pet carrier. My dad opened the backseat door and unbuckled me from my car seat he helped me out of the SUV, we walked inside the animal shelter I stayed close to my dad. I watched as the kitten was taken away my dad led me over to the waiting area, we sat down I crawled onto his lap. 

"Daddy, why did the lady take the kitten to the back?" I asked confused. 

"They have to make sure the kitten isn't microchipped and to see if the kitten belongs to anyone." my dad explained. 

A few minutes later the lady returned with the pet carrier she was talking to my dad after she was finished talking to my dad the lady walked away. 

"Sweetheart we have to leave the kitten here at the shelter for thirty days to see if the owner shows up if no one claims the kitten it's yours." 

"Okay," 

My dad and I left the animal shelter he opened the backseat door my dad picked me up and placed me in my car seat and buckled me in. He closed the backseat door and climbed into the front seat my dad started the engine and drove away. 

"Sweetheart, I have a strong feeling the owner isn't coming to claim the kitten because if the owner really wanted the kitten, they would have kept her." my dad said. 

When we arrived home my dad parked the SUV and killed the engine he climbed out of the SUV and opened the backseat door. My dad unbuckled me from my car seat and helped me out of the backseat my dad closed the door we walked up to the house my dad opened the storm door and unlocked the front door he opened the door we walked inside the house. I unzipped my sweat jacket and took it off I handed my sweat jacket to my dad I walked into the living room I turned on the TV and watched cartoons. 

"What would you like for lunch?" 

"I don't know," 

"Would you like chicken nuggets?" He asked. 

"Yes please." I responded. 

I got up off the couch and left the living room I walked into the kitchen my dad was putting the tray of chicken nuggets into the oven. My dad picked me up and placed me on the counter top. 

"What can I name the kitten?" 

"We'll have to think of a girl's name for the kitten." 

"I want to name her after one of your songs or lyrics." I giggled. 

"My band has a lot of songs." my dad replied. 

"I like the name Salem," 

"I do too," 

After lunch my dad and I were sitting on the couch watching cartoons I crawled onto his lap and laid my head on his chest my dad kissed my forehead I took a nap. Later on, that night my dad tucked me into bed he sat down on the edge of the bed and read me a bedtime story. My dad read me If you give a moose a muffin when he was finished reading to me my dad got up off my bed and placed the book back on my shelf. 

"Night, night daddy." I yawned. 

"Night, night Ronnie." my dad said. 

My dad kissed my forehead and turned off the lamp he left my room and closed the door behind him, I snuggled with my Belle doll and drifted off to sleep.
