Dean-
I got to my desk and sat down. Roman sat down in front of me, he sent me a nod.
"What's up man?", I asked.
"Your girl just walked in", he said with a smirk.
I turned and leaned back in my chair, Alyssa Martinez. Dark brown wavy hair, although you can't tell now, she has it up in a bun. Light make up on, her police uniform fit just right. I smiled and whistled.
"Jeez Ambrose, I'm not a dog you know. A hello or a how's your day going Aly, would be nice", she said.
"How about I ask you out?", I asked.
She went over to her desk, shaking her head. She grabbed her jacket and keys. She was coming towards me again.
"So, what do you say?", I asked.
"Sorry, I have a boyfriend and I don't think he would like it if I went out with another man", she said.
"I don't mind sharing", I smirked and rested my arms on my desk.
Roman chuckled and shook his head, he was signing something.
"Bye Dean. See you tomorrow Roman", she said, before walking out.
"Bye Aly", Roman said laughing.
"I'm gonna marry that woman one day", I said, leaning back in my chair and putting my hands behind my head.
"It's nice to dream", Seth said, walking over.
"How was vacation?", I asked.
"I think I still have sand in my ass, but Nikki loved it", he said.
"Looks like you're back to being Alyssa's partner", I said to Roman.
"Good, I missed her. I hate working with you", he said.
My jaw dropped and I put my hand over my heart.
"That hurts bro, if you were trying to break my heart it worked", I said.
He laughed. Hunter came over and dropped a file on my desk.
"You and Reigns check that out. Rollins go with them", Hunter said.
I opened the file and looked over this guy.
"Man, not again", I grumbled.
"Let me guess, Owens again", Roman said standing.
I nodded and grabbed the file.
"Third call for domestic violence. I don't know why a judge always gives him a damn pass, even with his wife standing right in front of the judges face. All purple and cut up", Seth said.
"Poor woman, she's too damn scared to leave him again", I said, shaking my head.
"Let's get to it", Roman said.
We got outside of the station. Seth went over to Sami Zayn, his temporary partner till tomorrow. They climbed into their car and we got in ours, Roman drove. My phone dinged. My calender reminder "Pick Up Cake". My daughter, Madeline's fifth birthday. I groaned, I couldn't believe my baby girl was five.
"What's up?", Roman asked.
"Today's Maddie's birthday", I said.
"Oh man, next thing you know she's dating", he said.
"That's not funny", I said.
He chuckled.
"You and Brie are coming over on Saturday right?", I asked.
"Yeah, Brie wants baby advice", he said.
I nodded, pulling up to the house, we got out. My hand on my gun if I needed it. Seth and Sami pulled up behind us. I signaled them to go around back. Sami took the left side and Seth took the right. Approaching the door, Roman and I on either side. I knocked.
"Mr. Owens, it's officer Ambrose. We got a call about a woman screaming", I yelled.
Silence. Roman raised a brow and I nodded. He got in front of the door and kicked it down. Kevin took off towards the back of the house, his wife was on the living room floor, not moving. I grabbed the walkie on my shoulder.
"Rollins, Zayn, he's headed towards you", I said.
Roman was checking on Kevin's wife. His shoulders slumped and he sighed.
"Fuck", I growled.
Roman called it in. I went towards the back, gun ready.
"Come on Owens, you have nowhere to go", I yelled into the hall.
I heard glass break. I rushed towards the last room where the noise came from.
"Got him", Sami yelled.
I put my gun back in its holster and went out to the living room. Roman was covering the woman, this was the part I hated the most.
"Two fucking times he could have been put away. They better not let him walk again, I swear", Roman growled.
"Sami has him, let's get him secure", I said.
He shook his head no.
"You go, gonna say a little prayer for her", he said.
I nodded and walked out. Seth and Sami getting Kevin in the back of the patrol car.
"How is she?", Seth asked.
I shook my head and he shook his head.
"Poor woman", Sami said.
I looked at Kevin, he seemed to be laughing and all I wanted to do was pull him out of the back and kick his ass. Let him feel how his wife felt, not being able to defend herself. After everything was taken care of, Seth and Sami took Kevin. Roman sent a text to Brie.
"Can't wait to get home and hug my babies", he said, resting his head back on the headrest.
I smiled.
"I hear you brother", I said.
"Has Ollie talked yet?", he asked.
Oliver was my almost two year old.
"He says bubble and ball, also no. You are going to love having kids man", I said.
He nodded and smiled. After a few tickets given out and watching for speeders, we went back to the station. I sat down and took a deep breath.
"See you Saturday, back to morning shift with Aly", Roman said.
I nodded. I opened my desk drawer and grabbed my car keys. I grabbed my black hat and put it on backwards. Getting to my truck, I set my bag on the passenger seat. I stopped to put gas in my truck and then drove to the bakery. I walked in and gave the girl my name. She showed me the small cake for tonight.
I paid for it and drove home, pulling into the driveway to our two story house. Three bedrooms upstairs, two downstairs. We turned one into a den for the kids playroom. One bathroom downstairs, two upstairs, a good size living room and a dining room we didn't use unless we had company. We usually ate in the living room, bad habit to have.
The kitchen was perfect, one of the reasons I bought it was because I knew she would love it. The backyard was big enough for Madeline and Oliver. They had a swing set with a slide. A sand box and picnic table. I had my grill and bar, which took a lot of convincing for her to agree to it.
I played the kitchen card, you get your kitchen and I get my bar and grill. The front yard had a fence, our dog Harley, Dalmatian. Madeline loves the movie 101 Dalmatians so we had to get one. I wasn't going to deny my baby girl and first born. She had me wrapped around her finger. I got off my truck and walked over to the gate, Harley was wagging his tail and waited patiently.
"Hey Harley", I said, rubbing his head.
He followed me inside. I opened the closet door and opened the safe on the top shelf, placing my gun beside hers. I locked it back up and then closed the closet door.
"Hey handsome", I turned and Alyssa was leaning against the wall, arms crossed over her chest.
"Hey baby", I said.
She came over to me and helped me take my shirt off. She looked good out of uniform too. Perfectly round bottom, B cup, and chocolate colored eyes. Beautiful soft lips, and the cutest nose. Our kids had her nose, my eyes, and her hair color. She had to stand on her tippy toes to reach my lips without me bending over.
"Did you bring the cake?", she asked.
"Crap, it's in the car. I'll go and get it", I said.
She nodded. I went back out and brought the cake in, setting it on the counter. Our playful jokes staying at work.
"Daddy", I smiled and Maddie came running in from the backyard.
I lifted her into my arms and kissed the side of her head.
"Happy birthday Maddie", I said, putting her back down.
"Is that for me?", she asked, trying to peek at the cake.
"After dinner", Alyssa said.
Madeline nodded and giggled. Soft whining from the baby monitor.
"Ollie is up from his nap", she said.
"I'll get him baby", I said.
Alyssa nodded and continued making dinner. I walked up to Oliver's room and walked in. Ollie was standing and crying.
"Hey buddy, did you enjoy your nap?", I asked, lifting him into my arms.
"No", he said, wiping his eyes with the back of his hand.
"You hungry? Mommy's almost done with dinner, spaghetti, you love spaghetti", I said.
"No", he said.
I took him downstairs and set him at the table. Alyssa kissed the top of his head. She served Maddie and then me.
"I'm starving, thank you doll", I said.
She served herself and sat down to eat. Ollie was picking up the noodles with his right hand, while holding his fork with his left. Sauce on his chin and cheeks.
"I love spaghetti", Maddie said.
"That's why I made it", Aly smiled.
"Can I have some more please?", Maddie asked.
Alyssa stood and took Maddie's plate, giving her a little more. I lifted my plate and she took it, serving me.
"Thank you baby", I said.
"How was work?", Aly asked.
I stopped, then looked up at her. She knew right now wasn't the time to ask and she nodded, understanding. After we finished eating, I helped Aly take the dishes to the sink. She grabbed the candles and placed five on the cake, lighting them. We sang happy birthday to Maddie and then she blew out the candles.
"What did you wish for?", I asked.
"I can't tell you or else it won't come true", she said.
"Sorry, I forgot that rule", I said.
Alyssa served us each a piece. She put the rest in the fridge, finishing her piece she went over to wash the dishes.
"Mind getting the kids ready for bed?", Aly asked.
"I got it", I said.
I turned on the bath water for Maddie, filling it with bubble bath. The water turned pink and it smelled like bubble gum.
"Princess, bath time", I said.
She walked into the bathroom. I went to our bathroom and got Ollie's bath ready. He giggled and splashed, he loved his baths.
"Okay, lets get this shampoo in", I said.
"Daddy, I'm done", Maddie called.
"I'll be right there sweetheart", I said.
