Archie groans and tosses another résumé into the trash. He rests his head in his hands and groans again.

"Gentle Archie, people put work into that" Mary says as she walks into the kitchen where her son has been sitting for hours.

"I know mom. I'm just frustrated. I interviewed four women today and I didn't like one of them plus none of them fit into our family. The first woman was kinda weird, the second was.... I'd say a little too old to jump and run around with the kids, the third never showed up and I just simply don't like the fourth. She didn't do anything wrong. I don't know why but there is something about her that I don't like. How can it be so hard. I spend the last week, interviewing women every day and I didn't find the perfect nanny yet"

"Exactly Archie honey, it's been a week. Something like this takes time. It's an important decision. Don't worry okay, your father and I are here to help you out. We watch them whenever you need us. We love them just as much as you do"

I know mom, thank you"

"Any time and don't worry Arch. You will find someone" Mary says and smiles softly as she places her hand on her son's shoulder.

"Well there is one more woman on my list. She's 26 and a kindergarten teacher"

"Why doesn't she work in a kindergarten?" Mary asks as she looks over Archie's shoulder on the piece of paper in his hands.

"The kindergarten she worked in shut down. I guess she wants to try something else"

"When will she be here?"

Just as Archie wants to answer there is a knock on the door. He gets up with a little smile on his face. "Now" he chuckles.

Mary nods. She watches her son open the door before she walks back into the backyard to the twins.

When Archie opens the door he expected a 26 year old kindergarten teacher. One with her hair in a bun and glass on her nose. One who's wearing a plain dress and has one of those brown teacher bags.

But instead there is a woman in front of him who's wearing skinny jeans and a black blouse. Her beautiful, wavy, raven hair lies over her shoulders. Her smile is warm and friendly and her dark chocolate brown eyes shine.

"Hi, are you Mr. Archie Andrews?"

"Ye-yeah" Archie smiles.

"I'm Veronica Lodge"

"Uhm, come in, please"

Veronica's mouth leaves a little giggle. She keeps looking into his eyes for a little longer before she walks into the house.

"Follow me into the kitchen" he says. "Do you want something to drink?"

"Just a glass of water please" she smiles as she sits down on a chair close to a little table.

She looks around the room carefully and takes in all her surroundings. From what she's seen yet, which is unfortunately not a lot, this house looks very nice and beautiful. It looks like a perfect house to grow up in. She remembers seeing some family pictures and pictures of the kids form where they were babies and from now when she walked into the house. The twins look absolutely adorable. They look like the kind of kids that you just have to love. They look so sweet with their blond hair and their baby blue eyes. The pictures of them with their father are adorable but Veronica wonders why there are no pictures of their mom around. She shakes her head to distract herself but her eyes land on some drawings on the fridge. They're so colorful and cute.

Her favorite one is what's probably supposed to be the twins and Archie. There are just three stick figures on the paper and a bunch of colorful lines around them but it looks like it was made with a lot of love and that's what makes it so beautiful.

"Well Miss Lodge" Archie smiles as he sits down on a chair across from Veronica. He hands her the glass of water before he takes a sip out of his own.

"Let's have a little chat"
