Legal Question in Criminal Law in Virginia

Got caught at Walmart for stealing 47$ worth of baby clothing. Can you give me a general idea of what to expect out of court. Is jail time likely? Its mh first offense and i have a clean record besides this now. How do I plea on my first court date. The incident occurred in Yorktown Va. The items were returned with complete cooperation and I was released on a summons <200$ is what it said. I have never been in any trouble in my life 21 years old it was a stupid mistake made in a moment of absent mindness is there a way I can get just a fine and community service I am a military spouse about to PCs to another state in January and need the situation resolved as quickly and smoothly as possible
