"Huston! You okay?" Danny's boss asks.

"Oh I'm fine! Just worried.."

"About what?"

"My little girl. She started kindergarten today."

"Oh she did? Man.. it feels like I was just in your position. They grow up fast, Huston." He pats him on the back.

"Enjoy every moment."

Delilah's POV.

"Miss Jessieeee!"

"Yes, sweetie?"

"I have to go potty!"

"Okay, darling, right in there. Leave your paper on the table."

Delilah hopped off her chair and hurried to the bathroom.

Delilah looked around and saw a picture that made her smile.  She then became upset when it brought back a memory.

The picture was of a koala bear.

"My daddy took me to see the koala bears in the summer! I miss him!"

Delilah dropped her dress and rubbed her eyes.

"Oh no!" She gasped.

...

"Miss Jessica.." Delilah slowly opened the door.

"Yes, Delilah?"

"I dropped my dress in the toilet and I want my daddyyyyy!"

"Oh honey, it's okay!  I have extra clothes for you, it's not a problem!"

"My daddy bought me this dress.. and I ruined it!"

"Honey, you didn't ruin it.  I'll give you some clothes to change into, and we'll put your dress in a bag.
When your daddy picks you up we'll give it to him so he can wash it at home."

"My daddy's not picking me up.."

"Well I'll give it to your mommy then."

"I don't have a mommy.."

"Oh!  I'm so sorry, sweetie."

"It's okay.. She died."

"Oh gosh.. nice going, Jess." She mumbles.

"My grandma is picking me up today and then my daddy is picking me up from her house, and he's gonna take me to get ice cream."

"Ooh yummy!" She smiles.
"Well I'll give your dress to your grandma and she can wash it. Sound good?"

"Yeah.. can I call my daddy?"

"I think daddy might be working."

"It's okay.  We can still call him."

*Giggles*
"Well let's get you changed, and then get back to our work."

"I want my daddy!" Delilah cries.

"You'll be okay.  Come on, let me find you some clothes."

One hour later.

"Alright, class! It's time to go home! Everyone grab your backpacks and line up behind our very first line leader of the year!"

"Who's the line leader?" A little boy asks."

"Delilah!"

"Me?!  Yay!  Yay!  Thank you, miss Jessie!"

Walking out of the school Delilah was shocked when she saw her father.

"Daddy?!"

"Hi, princess!"

"What are you doing here?!"

"I couldn't miss picking you up from your first day of school!"

Her teacher smiles and hands Danny her clothes.

"Thank you!  What happened to your dress, princess?"

"I dropped it in the toilet."

"Oh nice!" He laughs.

"Well thank you, Ms. Lange." Danny smiles.

"You're very welcome, Mr. Huston." She smiled back.

"Her name is MISS JESSIE!  DUUUHH!"

*Laughs*
"No, it's fine!  I mean I prefer Jessie or Jessica.
Ms. Lange reminds me of my mother!  But I'll answer to anything!  Well not anything.. I won't answer to Angie!  Ha-ha.. I uh- I'm gonna go!  Great job today, sweetie!" Jessica rubbed her back.

"Thank you!" Delilah smiled.

Danny chuckled and watched Jessica walk away.
Delilah then grabbed his face and turned it towards her. "Ice cream time!"

"Yes!  Let's get going, little lady!"
