Author Note: so I decided to rewrite this storyline. I had it in parts so I decided to more short chapters together to make longer chapters.
Character summaries:
Chloe Epps: Chloe is the daughter of Don and she is really smart. She's only three years old and is daddy's girl. She spends time with her uncle and aunt along with her grandfather while Don is at work. Her mom died when she was one year old. She is really sweet loving little girl.
Don Epps: still works at the FBI. He lost his wife two years ago and now facing raising their daughter on their own with the help of his father and brother.
All the characters are still the same.
Chloe's POV
I'm waking up this morning to find out that our plans are still on. We are going to spend a father and daughter day. Daddy comes into the room.
"Hey sweetie. You really to get ready for a new day with me." Daddy says to me. I smiled at him as he walks over to my dresser and picks out my clothes. I make my bed and get dress when daddy's cell phone rings and he hangs up.
"Hey baby girl. We got stop by my work for something and then we are going to go enjoy our day." He says as we head to get some to-go breakfast. We are in the car by 9am and on the way to his work.
Don's POV
While I am driving, I am making sure Chloe is okay. I know that she was excited to enjoy the day with me and truth be told so was I.
"Why are we not going to grandpa's house?" She asks me. I figure the best way of getting out of there is to have her with me. Unless it's a case.
"Because you are still going to stay with daddy and plus we have plans with it after it. It's not going to be all day thing." I explained to her. I pull into the parking lot and get out of the car. I get my daughter out of her seat. I help her down and walk with holding her hand.
Co-worker's POV
I am walking by Agent Epps's desk and see a little girl. I don't know who the girl is so I go down to her level. I see that she is scared.
"Hey, you can't sit in this chair." I say to her as I reach for her hand and she starts to scream. "it's okay. I am just going to take you to the conference room."
"No!" the girl yells back at me. She starts kicking at me when someone walks up. The next thing I know is that I have Don yelling at me.
"What do you think that you are doing?! She's my daughter!" Don yells at me.
"I am sorry. I did not know." I say back. I look at the little girl who's crying as her father turns around and picks her up. "I'm sorry." I say to her. She moves closer into her father's arms.
"Chloe, it's okay." Don says to her as he walks to get his truck keys and heads to leave.
Chloe's POV
Daddy has finally calm me down as he puts me in my seat. He shuts my door and gets into his truck. We head to our date together.
Don's POV
Today was great. I got to spend time with my three year old and as I am driving home. I see my daughter sound asleep. I get there and I pull into our house driveway and get her out. She's in bed and now I am settling into my bed so we can sleep. Tomorrow is a brand new day and it was because we had a case.
Don's POV
It's Monday morning, I have to get ready to drop Chloe off at her grandpa's load up in my SUV and are on the way to my dad's house. By the time that we get to the house, I have thirty minutes to get to work. I get her out of the car seat and she knows that I am leaving. She loves her grandfather and uncle but she doesn't want to leave me. It's been this way ever since my wife died.
"Daddy! Can I please go with you to work?" She asks me with her begging eyes.
"I am sorry. I have a case today so you are going to stay with grandpa and uncle Charlie." I say to her as my dad opens the door and takes her. "I love you baby girl." When she doesn't give me "I love you" back, it hurts but I know that I am doing the right thing when leaving her with my dad.
Allan's POV
It's normal for my granddaughter to get upset when my son is dropping her off but she is normally fine after twenty minutes.
"Chloe, daddy will be back later tonight. We are going to have so much fun." I say to my granddaughter. I know what's causing this separation anxiety that she has when Don leave. It's because she had her mom one morning and then lost her later that day.
"Grandpa, what are we doing?" she wonders about her day.
"Well we are going to watch movies and plays games and then we will go out to dinner with daddy and uncle Charlie and Amita " I revealed to her as I see a smile on her face. We play thought out the day and then get ready to go.
Chloe's POV
We are all ready to go but we are still waiting for daddy to come and so we can go. He's still has my seat that I have to sit in. I had heard the phone ring and grandpa goes to answer it. He hangs up the phone and walks to me.
"Chloe, we are going to have to meet daddy at the place." He says to me. I am happy that daddy did not cancel it. We get into uncle Charlie's car and drive there. When we get there, I don't see daddy there but we are early.
Don's POV
We had just finished the case right after I called dad to tell them that I would just end up having to meet them. I head to my SUV and get there. I see Chloe and my dad playing and it's good that she's happy with being there. She sees me and runs up to me.
"Daddy!" Chloe screams at me as she runs up to me. She wraps her arms around me. "Do you have to go back to work?"
"No. I don't." I say to her as we enjoy the rest of the day together because tomorrow marks another day of work.
Don's POV
I'm sitting here at work thinking about Chloe when my phone starts to ring. I look down and see that's it's my dad.
"Hey dad, what's going on? Is she okay?" I ask my dad thinking that it is about Chloe.
"She's okay. I need to talk about her anxiety that she has when you leave in the morning. Will you come for lunch?" My dad asks me. I was already planning to come for lunch since I have a feeling that this case is going to be longer then I want it too.
"yes dad." I say to him. I have about ten minutes until lunch comes and I hang up the phone and head to get signed out for lunch. I know that Chloe will be happy to see me. I get into my SUV and head to my father's house. The minute that I walk into the house, I see her running up to me and wrapping her arms around my waist.
"Daddy, are you done with work?" she asks me as I go down to her level.
"Not yet sweetie. It might be a long night." I say to her as she gives me a kiss on the cheek. "Grandpa is making lunch. Come on let's go see him." As they walk into the kitchen. After lunch, Don puts Chloe down for her nap and walks downstairs to have the talk with his father.
"Chloe's asleep?" My dad asks me.
"Yeah." I say to him.
Allan's POV
Sitting here with my son is not always fun when it comes that I have to talk to him about his child. I love that little girl and I know it's been hard for her since she lost her mother and it's also been hard for my son since losing his wife.
"I think that Chloe is afraid that she's going to lose you like she did with her mother." I say it flat-out to him. I know in his heart, he can see that I am right about feeling this.
"I know dad." he says to me. "I need to spend more time with her and letting her know that I am always here for her. I am trying to recover from losing her mom too. It's only been two years."
Chloe's POV in her dreams
It's the morning that my mommy is saying goodbye to me as she drops me off to grandpa's house. I give her a kiss and she leaves. Daddy says they had a court hearing that they need to go to so it's only a couple of hours with grandpa today. The next thing that I know is daddy coming home and picking me up. I remember my daddy being sad about something.
"Mommy's gone." Daddy says to me in between cries. I start crying too.
Chloe's POV- out of her dream
I wake up and see no one there and so I start to cry. I really don't like it when I have this dream because it's so hurting for me and my daddy. Daddy comes running in and he knows that I had the dream again. He picks me up and I hold on to him.
"It's okay. I am right here. I am not going anywhere." He says to me. I settled down and he takes me downstairs. Grandpa takes me from my dad since I know that he has to go back to work.
Don's POV
I hate leaving Chloe when she has that dream but I know that she's going to be okay. I drive back to headquarters and spend the rest of the day with the team. We finally get the case done about midnight and I just head home since Chloe is sleeping at my dad's house. Tomorrow is my day off and so we will get to spend time together.
