Alright People. I have been so so busy the past month and a half. I started school three weeks ago and this term is already kicking my butt. With rowing on top of all my school work, it has been almost impossible to find time to write. I promise I am working on this when I have time. So, without further ado, here is the next chapter!

"Mommy," Allie Claire called as she got off the bus after school in late October.

"Allie Claire," Beca called back, smiling as her little girl ran into her arms, "Hi Peanut. Did you have a good day at school?"

"Yeah," Allie Claire said, smiling, "We got to play outside extra because we all finished our reading early."

"Wow," Beca said as they started walking home, "That sounds like a pretty good day."

"It was," Allie Cliare said, skipping next to Beca as she held her hand, "And guess what?"

"What?" Beca asked.

"Isaac lost a tooth on the playground, and he got a cool little box to put it in that looks like a tooth," Allie Claire said, eyes wide, "It was so cool. When am I going to lose my teeth, Mommy?"

"I don't know," Beca said, shrugging her shoulders, "But you have a dentist appointment in a week so we can probably ask him, alright?"

"Ok," Allie Claire said, letting go of Beca's hand so she oculd open the front door of the house.

Jesse got home not long after Allie Claire and the family decided to go to the park for a picnic dinner. Beca and Jesse chased Allie Claire around the playground, pushing her on the swings for a while before they went and walked around the pond. This was one of the reasons they were glad they lived in California, it was fairly warm for how late in the year it was.

Once the sun started to set, they headed home, giving Allie Claire a bath and tucking her in after reading a few stories and singing her a song.

The next week passed quickly and soon enough, it was time for Allie Claire's dentist appointment. Jesse got the job of taking her because Beca had work.

"What flavor of toothpaste are you going to get?" Jesse asked her as they sat in the waiting room.

"Um, I think bubblegum," Allie Claire said, looking up at her dad.

"Yum," Jesse said, smiling back at her, "That sounds delicious."

"It's the best one," Allie Claire said, nodding, "What's your favorite?"

"I usually like to get mint," Jesse said.

"That's too spicy," Allie Claire said, crinkling her nose a little, "You should try bubblegum next time."

"Maybe I will," Jesse said with a laugh.

Soon enough, Allie Claire got called back to see the dentist. After getting x-rays and her teeth cleaned, the dentist came in.

"Hello little lady," he said, leaning her chair back, "How did your teeth look today?"

Allie Claire shrugged her shoulders, looking to the hygienist who had cleaned her teeth.

"They look perfect," the hygienist said, smiling at the little girl.

"Good," he said, "Now can you open your mouth for me?" Allie Claire opened her mouth as wide as she could, allowing the dentist to look in.

"Well," he said after a few miutes, "They look great. I think these three front ones might be loose."

"Really?!" Allie Claire asked, eyes wide, "They might fall out?"

"Yes," the dentist said, "But it's not a bad thing."

"I know that," Allie Claire said, "When teeth fall out, you get a tooth box and money and you can put a straw in the space and eat your apples cut up."

"That's right," the dentist said, smiling, "Now, how about you get a toothbrush and some stickers and we'll see you back in six months."

"Ok," Allie Claire said, choosing the purple toothbrush the dentist offered.

"What do you say?" Jesse asked her as she got up.

"Thank you," Allie Claire said to the hygienist and dentist, "See you later."

They made her next appointment before they left.

"Daddy," Allie Claire said, "Did you hear that? I have loose teeth that can fall out."

"I heard Peanut," Jesse said as they got into the car.

The whole way home, Allie Claire had her fingers in her mouth, wiggling her loose teeth which were barely loose. When Beca got home, Allie Claire could barely wait to tell her.

A week went by, and Allie Claire was almost always messing with her teeth. Beca and Jesse tried to get her to keep her hands out of her mouth when she was out in public because it was the beginning of cold and flu season, but their little girl was stubborn.

As she got off the bus one day, Jesse noticed a little box hanging around her neck.

"Hey Peanut," he said as she walked up to him. "Hi Daddy," she said, sniffling a little.

"What's that around your neck?" he asked, knowing how excited she had been about losing a tooth.

"My tooth came out at school today," she said, smiling a little, "See."

"I see," he said, smiling at the whole that was in the front of her smile, "How did it fall out?"

"I sneezed and it came out of my mouth," she said, rubbing her eyes and nose a little.

"Are you alright Peanut?" he asked, looking at her, noticing she seemed a little flushed.

"I'm tired," she said, yawning, "And I have a headache."

"Come here," he said, putting a hand on her forehead, feeling a fever, "Well, I think all those nasty germs from your hands have finally caught up with you. You have a fever. Let's go home and get into jammies and get some sleep ok?"

She nodded, lifting her arms. He sighed and picked her up. She put her head on his shoulder, relaxing.

"Will the tooth fairy still bring me money for my tooth?" Allie Claire asked tiredly.

"If course," Jesse said, rubbing her back, "I know she will."

So there it was. Just a little filler chapter. I am always looking for prompts. There are big things coming up for this story, but I always am trying to find things to fill the space between bigger chapter. Just let me know if you have ideas and I might use them! Thanks so much for your patience!
