Blob
"Jason, come on, we're going to be late!" Sam called upstairs to her son.
"I can't believe he's starting kindergarten already," Carly said. "He seems so little!"
"Well kindergarten generally is a place for little kids," Freddie laughed.
"You know what I mean."
"Jason!" Sam called again. "Your breakfast is getting cold!"
"Coming!" Jason replied, running down the stairs, his Galaxy Wars backpack in one hand, and his beloved brown teddy bear in the other. "Blob's coming to school with me, mommy!"
"Blob?" Carly asked.
"His bear," whispered Freddie.
"Jason, you can't bring toys to school with you," Sam tried to reason as she slid his plate in front of him.
"But I love Blob."
"Aw, Sam let him take it," Carly said. "He's so cute!"
"Shut it, Shay," Sam said. "Or mark my words, once you have kids, I'm going to corrupt their minds."
"Noted," Carly said, dropping the matter at once.
"Jason, none of the other boys and girls are going to bring their toys," said Freddie.
"How do you know?"
"Because-because I just do."
"How?"
"Because we know everything," Sam said simply.
"But daddy said no one knows everything."
"Okay, fine. I know everything. Daddy was wrong."
"Sam!"
"Look, Jason," she said, sitting down next to the boy. "I know how much you love Blob. And he loves you too. But at kindergarten, you'll meet lots of new friends, and get to play with lots of new toys. You'll have so much fun! But you know what? Everyday when you get home, Blob will be sitting right here waiting for you to tell him all about school!"
"Really momma?"
"Yup."
"Well, okay. I guess I'll leave him home. Will you take care of him?"
"Sure. I'll even make his favorite lunch."
"Alright."
"Good. Now go get your jacket. We need to leave."
Jason hopped off his seat and ran back upstairs.
"Oh my God, Sam," Carly said. "You are such a good mom!"
"I know," she said nonchalantly. "And by the way, nub. I thought I told you to take back that Galaxy Wars backpack!"
"Oh come on! It's so cool! I had one just like it when I was in kindergarten."
"Why do you think I wanted you to take it back? You'll turn the poor kid into a dork before he can even read."
"You think I'm a dork?"
"Absolutely," she said, kissing him. "The biggest one I've met."

AN- I had actually written this when I was doing the Seddie baby arc about twenty chapters back and forgot to upload it...Oh well, better late than never.
