A few parents had spoken to Jubal as he and Maggie made their way inside, they were parents of Abby and Tyler's friends. Maggie had felt Jubal's hand slide into hers as the parents came over to him saying hi, and that it was good to see him. One of the mums smiled looking at Jubal and Maggie.
"You must be Maggie?"
Maggie smiled shaking the woman's offered hand "I am, it's nice to meet you".
The woman smiled "I'm Gina, Tyler is best friends with my son Brandon I believe it's you I have to thank for the boys fun soccer drills?"
"Tyler did tell me he and Brandon had been using them, I'm glad to hear they are having fun"
"They are loving it, this is the first sport my son has shown any interest in so thank you. Tyler had been talking about you a lot so I hope you both don't mind that I asked him who you were?"
Jubal shook his head smiling "We don't mind at all Gina, with how often Tyler is at your house I can understand you wanting to know" Both Maggie and Jubal really appreciated that Gina was being so respectful of their privacy as they could feel some mums standing with Sam staring at them.
"Both boys have been telling their friends that an FBI agent is helping them train" Gina laughed softly "So, I thought you two worked together until Tyler told us that you were living together… And just ignore the other mums staring at you both, some of them are just jealous that you took Jubal off the Market" Gina winked playfully at Maggie which just made Maggie laugh, a real proper laugh.
"I thought that they might have just been staring since I'm new"
"I mean they do they like to gossip" Gina rolled her eyes, "but they are all single mums except for Samantha so, you've just ruined their dreams by having this one fall in love with you"
Jubal laughed shaking his head "I forgot how much fun it was talking to you Gina"
"You mean you have missed my brutal honesty and that I don't have a lot of time for your ex-wife?" Gina raised her eyebrow playfully.
"Yeah, that might be part of it" He chuckled, "Is Dan going to make it today?" Jubal had always had a lot of time for Gina and Dan, especially with how much time Tyler spent with their son Brandon.
"He's saving us seats, Tyler had mentioned that you were hoping to bring Maggie, so I was keeping an eye out for you arriving, especially with the gossiping teenagers over there" she nodded her head at the group of women not caring that they could clearly see her.
"Thank you, Gina, I really appreciate that… I'm not here to cause any issues" Maggie smiled softly as she really did appreciate that she had someone looking out for them.
"Oh trust me we knew that Jubal wouldn't introduce the kids to someone who wasn't kind and hell we have been trying to convince him to settle down for years. I guess now we know why he didn't" She smirked playfully but clearly, Gina thought a lot of Jubal, "Come on Dan is waiting to meet the woman that finally got Jubal into a relationship".
"You make it sound like I had a phobia of relationships" Jubal shook his head laughing as he and Maggie followed Gina, he had kept Maggie's hand in his. This was the first time that he had brought anyone to an event for the kids, so he knew that people that knew him or Sam was staring at them.
"Can you really blame me for thinking that?" Gina looked at Jubal over her shoulder.
"My wife being extremely honest again?" Dan looked at Jubal as he stood up and shook hands with Jubal "It's good to see you Jubal, it's been a while."
Jubal smiled as he shook Dan's hand "Isn't your wife always brutally honest?" He laughed softly "It's good to see you too Dan, I'd like you to meet Maggie".
"I'm going to need you to say the words man, come on" Dan teased playfully
Jubal rolled his eyes laughing "You two really are perfect for each other" He joked playfully but it was actually true, Dan and Gina really were perfect for each other, "Maggie this is Dan, Dan this is Maggie, my girlfriend"
"See now was that so hard?" Dan smirked as he stepped closer and hugged Maggie "It's nice to meet you Maggie, it's good to see this guy finally smiling".
Maggie was enjoying watching Dan and Jubal, clearly this couple thought a lot of Jubal and were friends with him. She hugged Dan back but felt how Jubal kept a hold of her hand, but she was okay with that.
"It's nice to meet you Dan and thank you for saving us seats. I can confirm that he does, in fact, smile and a lot more when the kids are around him" She nudged Jubal's hip gently as the four adults took their seats with Maggie sitting beside Gina with Jubal beside her and Dan beside his wife.
"We knew that if you were going to make it that certain people would feel like they had the reason to talk about Jubal's private life. So, we didn't want them scaring you off at your first event, although I'm not sure they could actually scare an FBI agent" Dan had leaned over to talk to Maggie and Jubal.
"It would take a lot more than grown women acting like teenagers to scare me off... If Jubal and the kids want me here then it's exactly where I'll be" Maggie squeezed Jubal's hand gently running her thumb over his hand as she could tell he was feeling a little uncomfortable with the women with Sam still staring at them.
"I already love you" Gina laughed looking at Maggie, "And I'm glad that you won't let them scare you away because Tyler really has talked a lot about you"
Maggie looked at Jubal and nudged his shoulder gently with hers as Dan and Gina talked among themselves to give Jubal and Maggie a minute alone "You doing okay babe?"
Jubal looked at Maggie resting his free hand on her knee "Shouldn't I be the one asking you that since its friends of my ex-wife that haven't stopped staring at you since we walked in here?"
"I think you'll find that they are just staring at how handsome my man is" Maggie smiled resting her chin on his shoulder looking at him, she wasn't one for public affection, but she could feel Jubal relaxing, and he deserved to enjoy his kid's Christmas Concert.
"Have I told you today how much I love you?" Jubal leaned in kissing Maggie softly.
"Hmm maybe... but I'll never get tired of hearing it" She smiled running her free hand along his arm "You know you might have just made their heads explode kissing me in front of people"
"Yeah? Don't worry I'm sure that Gina and Dan will be able to tell us their reaction to it" Jubal smirked as he stole another quick kiss from Maggie before moving closer to her so that she could rest against him a little.
"You two have just made this day even better" Gina smirked "I swear that I've never seen them so shocked and so quiet"
Maggie laughed resting against Jubal's side as he let go of her hand to wrap his arm around her shoulders and kissed her temple before he looked at Gina "I'm glad that we could help with that" he chuckled before facing the front as they announced that the concert was about to start for everyone to take their seats.
Jubal kept his arm around Maggie the entire time, running his hand along her arm slowly at times. His face lit up when Abby's class came on to the stage, and she spotted her dad straight away waving down at him with such a large smile on her face. At that moment both Maggie and Jubal knew that feeling Sam and her friends staring at them was totally worth it to get to see Abby so happy.
"Abby really is a daddy's girl huh?" Gina spoke quietly to Maggie as they waited for the next class.
"Yeah until Mags came along and now she is Abby's favourite" Jubal smirked playfully, but he couldn't shake the smile from his face. Maggie shook her head laughing telling them both to ssh as the next class took to the stage which just made Jubal and Gina laugh.
Jubal was surprised when Tyler's class took to the stage that he waved down at him, his son was usually too shy to do anything like that. It only took Jubal a second before waving back at him with a large smile on his face. It was making Maggie's heart so full of love seeing how happy Tyler and Jubal was seeing each other. Maggie noticed the boy standing beside Tyler waving in their direction and seen the large smile on Gina's face as she waved back at him.
"That's Brandon… He looks a lot like his dad" Maggie spoke quietly to Gina.
"Thankfully he got his dad's looks and my personality" Gina laughed but with so much pride in her eyes as she talked about her son.
