Kid Fic (kinda) AU
Clarke honestly didn't expect that sending her son Jasper to kindergarten for his first day would be hard on her.
She figured that he would shed a few tears. Maybe cling onto the leg of her scrubs a bit. And she would explain to him that their little world of just the two of them had to open up a bit. So he could learn and go to college to become a ninja or an astronaut or a knight. Whatever his obsession was on that given day.
What she did not expect was for him to squeeze out of her hug and run off to join the other children on the playground without so much of a 'bye mom'.
Clarke had allergies. That was all.
The guy next to her wasn't doing much better. His eyes were definitely a bit misty as he watched a little girl run off onto the playground.
He turned to look at her, "He didn't do preschool did he?"
Clarke shook her head, "No, we have a daycare at the hospital."
"You see, that's what they don't tell you, its not for the kids, it's practice for the parents. Because preschool is only half day," the man told her, "I'm Finn Collins, by the way."
Clarke laughed, despite herself. Feeling kind of charmed by this Finn Collins, "Clarke Griffin."
"If you won't be too busy preforming life saving surgeries or something do you want to go get some breakfast? I can give you some pointers on how to overcome empty nest syndrome," Finn asked.
"You mean right now?" Clarke asked.
"Well yeah, or tomorrow or every day for the rest of our lives, I'm not picky," he shrugged.
"Sure," Clarke smiled.
