THAT NIGHT
Andy and Sam got sent home early, and to took the rest of the week off.
Everyone knew what was going on with them, and everyone was on taking turns guarding the house.
Tonight it was Oliver and Dov's turn.
Sam was getting ready to cook dinner while Andy was getting the kids to bed.
Andy sighed at Daniel who didn't want a bath.
"Sweetie, you love baths", Andy tried.
Daniel shook his head.
"NO BATH", Daniel said shaking his head.
Gracie started to cry, and Andy sighed.
"Come on buddy, we got to go check on your sister", Andy said putting her hand out so that Daniel would take it.
Daniel shook his head.
"NO GRACIE, NO BATH", Daniel screamed.
Andy looked at him shocked.
Sam ran up the stairs when he heard that.
He slowly made his way into the bathroom to Andy.
"Go check on Gracie I got him", he whispered in her ear.
Andy nodded and sighed and walked to go check on her daughter.
Sam crouched down and motioned for Daniel to come to him.
But Daniel wouldn't move he just kept shaking his head.
"NO Daddy", he said shaking his head.
Sam closed his eyes and let out a breath.
This wasn't fair on any of them, but he felt so bad for Daniel.
He was a very confused two year old right now and Sam didn't like that one bit.
"Come on buddy, come to daddy", Sam said and a calm voice.
Daniel ran up to Sam and hugged him.
Sam closed his eyes as he lifted his son off the floor and held him.
"Its okay buddy, your okay buddy, daddy's here", he said softly to his son kissing his son on his head.
"Daddy loves you", Daniel said to Sam.
Sam closed his eyes for a moment and kissed his son.
Sam held him tight.
"Love you too buddy", Sam whispered into his ear.
Sam put him on the floor and crouched down in front of him.
"Buddy you need to have a bath", Sam said to his son.
Daniel shook his head.
Sam sighed.
"Bath scary, scary noises", Daniel Said.
Sam laughed.
He went over to the bath put the plug in and started the water and filled it with bubbles.
Sam grabbed Daniels toys and put them in one by one.
He motioned Daniel to come over to him and Daniel did slowly.
Sam took his shirt pants and nappy off and put Daniel in the bath.
Daniel laughed and started playing with the bubbles and his toys.
Sam smirked and shook his head.
"Play for a bit buddy, daddy will be back", he said softly kissing his son's head.
Sam walked backwards out of the bathroom and went and checked on Andy and Gracie.
Andy was in Grace's room hugging her daughter.
Sam sighed and walked in and sat on the bed with his wife and daughter.
He took Gracie off her and kissed his daughters head.
He looked over at Andy; she was barely holding it together.
"It's okay, it's going to be okay", he said to Andy looking at her with a serious face.
Andy nodded and smiled and went up and kissed him.
"He's just so scared", she whispered.
Sam closed his eyes and nodded his head.
"DADA", Gracie randomly said.
Sam jumped for a moment, looking at his daughter.
Sam grinned and shook his head and picked up his daughter.
"Hey you, had to say something didn't you", he said to her and kissed her cheek.
"DADA", she said again.
He laughed and lay on the bed with her, looking at his wife.
"You're worth it Andy, your with it, I will protect the three of you", he said softly to her.
She nodded her head and smiled.
"NO, No, bad man", they heard Daniel yell.
Sam got up, gave Gracie to Andy and ran straight into the bathroom.
"BAD Man ", he heard Daniel say when he reached the bathroom.
Sam rushed in and saw Daniel kicking and screaming.
He looked around the bathroom, but saw no one.
"Buddy", he said slowly walking into the bathroom.
Daniel looked at him, scared.
"What is it buddy", Sam said quietly.
Daniel shook his head.
Sam sat down at the edge of the bath, just looking at his son.
"Daddy, I'm a good boy", Daniel said.
Sam smiled at his son and ruffled his son's hair.
"Bad man", Daniel said pointing out the window.
Sam looked at him, confused.
"Buddy uncle dov and Uncle Oliver are out there", he said to his son.
"Flashing lights", Daniel said scared.
That's when Sam realized.
Flashing lights, the car, hill.
Sam closed his eyes and let out a breath.
This part he didn't think about.
He got Daniel out of the bath, dried him off and wrapped a towel around him.
He went into Daniel's room, put his nappy on him, and put pj's and his slippers on him.
He knelt down to his son.
"I tell you what, I will let you go see Uncle Dov and Uncle Oliver, if you promise to be a good boy", he said looking at his son.
Daniel nodded his head and started jumping up and down.
Sam shook his head and picked up his son.
Andy came into the room, and Sam winked at her.
"MUMMY DADDY Said I can see Uncle Ollie", Daniel said jumping up and down.
Andy smiled.
Sam walked towards her and kissed her on the cheek.
"The lights scared him, I just want to show him who's out there", he whispered to her.
Andy smiled and nodded.
Sam took Daniel downstairs as Andy kept getting Gracie ready.
When Sam opened the car, he went to the car and opened the back door of it.
"Hey dude", Oliver said to Daniel.
Sam went around the other side of the car and went inside.
"See buddy, its uncle dov and Uncle Oliver", Sam said to his son.
Oliver looked at him confused.
Sam pointed up to the roof, and Oliver sighed.
"Sorry Sammy didn't think of that", Oliver sighed.
Sam shook his head, showing Oliver it was okay.
"Uncle Dov uncle Dov", Daniel said reaching his hands out to Dov.
Dov turned around and winked at Daniel.
"Hey little dude", Dov said picking up Daniel and putting him on his lap.
Sam winked over at Dov and nodded his head motioning for Oliver to step outside.
Oliver nodded and opened the door and stepped outside.
Sam looked at his son for a moment.
"I'll be right back, you stay with Uncle Dov, I'm not going anywhere", Sam said to Daniel.
Daniel nodded.
"That's my boy", Sam winked over at his son.
Sam hopped out of the car and closed the car door behind him.
"Sorry Sammy, the lights, it was an accident", Oliver said shaking his head at his friend.
"Its fine Ollie", Sam said nodding to his friend.
"How is he doing?" Oliver asked his friend carefully.
Sam let out a breath.
"He's scared, jumpy, and shaky", Sam said looking through the window of his car to his son.
Oliver nodded his head.
"Nothing has happened here, your street is dead", Oliver said shaking his head.
Sam nodded.
"I'm just wondering, Hill, posing as a cop, I get but why would he be at the nursery", Sam said shaking his head.
"I don't know Sammy", Oliver said to him leaning against the car door.
"NO BAD MAN BAD MAN", Daniel screamed.
Sam opened up the car door and went inside the car.
"Daniel, what is it, what's wrong", Sam said taking his son of dov.
Daniel pointed out the window.
"BAD Man car", he said pointed out the window to a car.
Sam looked at the car, and sure enough, it looked like the car he used for work.
Sam looked at Dov, who nodded and got the radio.
"Dispatch this is 1510, need registration on a car, black ford, 2011 model, plate number 012-JKG', Dov said in the radio.
Dov looked back and Sam, who was rocking his son back in fourth.
"1510, this car is registered to a Michael Anton Hill, address 189 Knock hill court", the person on the radio said.
Sam's eyes went wide.
"Daddy no bad man daddy", Daniel said shaking his head.
"Shh it's okay buddy, your okay", Sam said rocking his son back and forth.
Oliver sighed. He knew this wasn't good at all.
"Sammy, does Anton have a son?" Oliver felt stupid for asking, but he had too.
"I didn't hear of one but I guess so", Sam said still rocking Daniel in his arms.
"Bad man go away go away", Daniel said kicking his legs.
"Shhhh, I've got you, your okay, your okay", Sam kept saying to Daniel.
Dov closed his eyes and sighed.
"Daddy, no smacking, no smacking Daddy', Daniel said shaking his head.
Sam was at a lost.
He didn't know what he was meant to do.
"Come here dude", Oliver said bring his hands out to take Daniel of Sam.
Daniel went straight to Oliver.
Sam leaned back against the car seat and sighed.
"Bad man scary, bad man scary", Daniel kept saying.
Oliver looked over at his friend and sighed.
"Its okay dude, it's okay", Oliver said kissing Daniel's head.
Dov looked over at Sam who had his eyes closed.
Oliver kept rubbing Daniel's leg.
"Ouch", Daniel said.
Sam sat up.
He forgot about the bruise on Daniel's leg.
"Still hurt dude?" Oliver asked Daniel. Daniel nodded his head.
"It's a pretty big bruise, it will take a while", Oliver said looking over at Sam.
Sam nodded his head and looked at the time.
"Daniel it's time for bed buddy", Sam said to his son.
Daniel shook his head.
"NO BED, BAD MAN", he said pointing out the window.
"Dude, Uncle Dov and I will be here all night, nothing is going to happen", Oliver tried.
Daniel shook his head.
"Bad man come back", Daniel said shaking his head.
"Maybe leave him in here a bit longer, he seems like he feels safer in here, he might fall asleep", Dov suggested.
Sam nodded his head and let out a breath.
"I'll go back inside for a minute, grab some stuff let Andy know what's going on", Sam said to his friends.
Oliver and Dov nodded their heads.
"Daddy, Boo", Daniel said in a scared voice.
Sam smiled at him and kissed his son's forehead.
"I'll go get boo, you stay here and be a good boy", Sam said kissing his sons forehead.
Daniel nodded his head and got comfy on Oliver's chest.
Sam left to go inside and Dov looked at Oliver and Daniel.
"This isn't fair Oliver, he's two", Dov said to Oliver rubbing Daniel's back.
Oliver looked at Dov and sighed.
"I know, it's not fair on any of them, they have been through so much", Oliver said to Dov kissing Daniel's forehead.
Dov nodded his head.
Sam game back some drinks and Daniel's favorite toy, a stuffed dog named boo.
Daniel looked up and saw boo and jumped up and down.
"Boo", he said reaching up to get off Sam.
Sam grinned and gave him the stuffed dog.
"How's Andy?" Dov asked Sam ruffling Daniel's hair.
Sam sighed.
"Hanging in there", Sam said giving Oliver and Dov and drink.
Daniel looked up at Sam with wide eyes and Sam rolled his eyes.
"Don't worry I have one for you too", he said bringing up his hands to take Daniel off Oliver.
"Drink", Daniel said clapping his hands, and Oliver Dov and Sam just laughed.
Daniel accidently spilled some on the seat and Sam sighed.
"Buddy its okay", Sam said to him.
Daniel nodded his head slowly.
Sam was relived.
Daniel crawled over in Sam's lap with boo in his hands and lay down.
Sam rubbed his hands on his back.
Soon, he was asleep.
Sam sat in the car for a few more minutes.
"I should take him back inside", Sam said looking between his friends and his son.
Oliver and Dov nodded.
Sam went outside the car and went opened the other side of the car to get Daniel out.
He went inside quietly, knowing Andy and Gracie were sleeping.
Sam went into Daniel's room, and put in his bed.
He knelt down, put the blankets on him, and put the stuffed dog boo under his arms.
Sam knelt down and kissed his sons forehead.
"Its okay buddy, Daddy's here", he whispered into his son's ear.
