Babysitter || Casey & Alexis [Past]
Since Casey's divorce had gone through, it was rare that he was allowed a weekend alone with his daughter. Emma still didn't trust him and well - she seemed to think he'd run out again. That wasn't going to happen, he had changed his ways. Losing his family had opened his eyes to all the mistakes he had made. He couldn't take them back, but he could make up for them - and that was exactly what he was going to do.
Unlike any other day he had his daughter - this one was a bit more special. It was only two days until Halloween and he had to help her pick out her costume. However, he couldn't - he had to work. It was something that came up at the last minute and he honestly tried to get out of it. He couldn't take her with him, but he could do the next best thing - he could leave her with Alexis. Abby loved spending time with Alexis, as well as Merle - it was perfect.
By the time he had finally gotten off, it was close to midnight. He had promised he'd come by to pick her up before eight, so he knew that he'd possibly have some explaining to do. That was okay, though. He'd make it up whenever he got the chance to do so.
Casey quickly exited his car, making sure not to slam the door behind him. He didn't want to wake the neighbors, nor did he want to wake his daughter. Getting her to go to sleep was actually quite tricky. As he walked up to the front door, he ran his fingers through his hair. If Emma found out, he'd never hear the end of it. Shaking his thoughts from his head, he quietly knocked on the door - waiting for Alexis to allow him in.
