"Bye Ruby have a good day I'll see you later" he says when he drops her off at preschool the next day

"Bye daddy love you" she says waving to him

"Love you too" he says blowing her a kiss

Ruby blows a kiss back before heading into the building

"Okay Northelyn now we got to go register Ruby for kindergarten" he tells the infant that was in the backseat sleeping softly in her car seat

Drake drives to the local elementary school to register Ruby for kindergarten

"Drake Parker how have you been" a woman asks coming up from behind him with a stroller

"Do I know you?" he asks her

"You probably don't remember my name is Petunia Lavender and my daughter was name was autumn was in Ruby's swim class when she was a baby

It took Drake a while to recognize that name

"Now I know you how have you been?" he asks her

"I've been good as you can see I have another little one another girl" she says as she registers autumn for kindergarten

"That's good I have another girl as well" he says smiling

"She's an absolute doll what's her name? Petunia asks

Northelyn" he says smiling

"That's a different name" Petunia says looking at the sleeping child

"Why thank you hey after this you wanna grab some coffee or something?" he asks her

"Yes I would like that" Petunia says smiling

Drake and Petunia got their girls registered for kindergarten and got the necessary paperwork needed to be filled out before they visit in the spring

"So what have you been up to?" he asks her after the drop the babies off at their respectable locations

"Been busy with work and being a mommy to my two girls" Petunia says

"How's that working for you?" he asks her

"Not good both girls are from different guys and neither one of them want to be a dad or settle down like I want to" she says sipping her cappuccino

"That sucks" he says drinking his cappuccino

"Yeah it does especially when I'm working double shifts at the hospital" she says with a scoff

"Wow it must not be easy on autumn" he says

"Yes it is she always asked when am I going to be home, and when am I going to have a daddy that loves me" she says

"You know what Petunia I'm ready to settle down to, so next time you're off I can take you out to dinner and we can have a real date and get to know each other" he tells her

"I'd like that I'll let you know when that can happen until then how about a breakfast date tomorrow during my breakfast break I have we can have breakfast together in the cafeteria at the hospital" she suggest

"It's a date" he says as he seals it with a kiss

Petunia realizes that she was meant to be with Drake all along

"See you and Ruby tomorrow" she says leaving for the hospital

"Yeah bye" he says as she drives away

Drake is excited for a breakfast date with Petunia tomorrow he can't wait till he tells Ruby

(Next day)

"Daddy what are we doing up this early?" Ruby asks as they head for the hospital for the breakfast date

"Cause daddy has a breakfast date with a certain someone and she has a little girl your age and you might recognize her" he says as he drives

(Hospital)

"Ruby" autumn says when she sees a familiar face

"Autumn" Ruby says when she sees Autumn

"At least they remember each other" Petunia says

"Yeah they do, so let's have our first official breakfast" he says as he leads Ruby through the line

Ruby and Autumn know each other from preschool cause Autumn is in Mrs. Coyne's class

"So how long have you been a nurse?" he asks Petunia

"Ten years" she says as she cuts Autumn's breakfast for her

'What kind of a nurse are you?" he asks as he cuts Ruby's breakfast for her

"A labor and delivery nurse I love being with the mother's and the babies" she says smiling

"That's interesting" he says smiling

"Yeah, so what do you do?" she asks

"I'm a musician I write, produce, and sing songs" he says

Petunia found that interesting and fascinating

"I could play you a song on our date?" he asks her

"I would like that" she says smiling

Drake and Petunia talk and get to know each other more before she goes back to work

"I'll call you when we can arrange that date" she says as she takes her girls upstairs

"Okay looking forward to it" he says as he leaves with Ruby

"Now where are we going daddy?" Ruby asks him

"Well while we are here we are going to take care of your kindergarten check-up, and some shots" he says as they head for the elevator

"Oh" Ruby says as she gets on with him

Ruby was a trooper when she got her shots and her check-up

"Now what daddy?" she asks as they leave the hospital

"We got to go to the store and pick up a few things for Northelyn cause is she is low on a few things like formula, diapers and we got to get food for the two of us or we will be eating the leaves off the trees" he tells her

"If I'm good daddy can I get something?" she asks him

"Only if you're good" he tells her as he secured Northelyn who was still sleeping in her car seat

Drake gets one of the carts that has a vehicle attached to it, so Ruby can drive while he shops. Since Ruby was good she picks a fun pillow to sleep on

"Now to go home and put everything away then heads over to Josh and Mindy's for dinner" he says buckling both girls in
