Natasha furrowed her brows as she tore open the letter, she was surprised, she did not expect this at all.
The letter was not a letter, not at all, but rather it was a post card, and not just any postcard, it was a postcard from Vermont, which surprised Natasha.
She knew only one person in this day and age who used and had a liking for postcards, and that person was none other than Romanoff.
Natasha quickly turned the back of the postcard as two things caught her eye, the first was what looked like some sort of coordinates, and the seconds was a sentence written in Russian it read "Vstretimsya tam, odin noyabr' v tri chasa dnya" which translated to "We'll meet here, one November at three o'clock in the afternoon".
Natasha looked up from the postcard, if he sent her this, then did that mean that he was here right now??
Natasha quickly dropped the postcard on her office desk as she rushed down the stairs and she opened the front door and she walked outside as she looked in the driveway, she saw no one there, no one, not cars at all.
Natasha was sure that Romanoff was a very sneaky man, so of course if he was watching her right now, he would hide.
Natasha walked past the driveway, into the road and she saw no cars in sight at all, of course she would not believe that he had left just like that, she was talking about a man who had been watching her all her life here, so she did not trust him not one bit.
Natasha reluctantly walked back into the house as she closed the front door behind her and she walked up the stairs as she saw Amalia and Joy walking down the stairs.
"Madam… are you not going out anymore?" asked Amalia in surprise as she saw Natasha walking back up.
"No I am not Amalia, I changed my mind" said Natasha as she smiled, there was no way that she was going out now that she knew that Romanoff was watching her, quite frankly, she did not trust him, and she knew that she was safe here, the bodyguards were all here, so he could not try to kill her here, or she hoped so.
"Ahh, I see" said Amalia.
"My baby, stay with Aunt Amalia for a while, I need to do some work" said Natasha as she smiled and she looked at Joy.
"Okay Mommy" said Joy as she giggled.
"We are going to get cookies in the kitchen" said Joy as she giggled.
"That sound great my baby, just don't eat too much before you get a tummy ache" said Natasha as she smiled and she poked Joy's nose as Joy giggled.
"Okay Mommy" said Joy as she giggled and Natasha smiled at Amalia.
"Let's go now Joy" said Amalia as she looked at Joy and she smiled.
"Okay" said Joy as she giggled and they walked down the stairs as Natasha rushed to her office as she closed the door behind her and she locked it, just in case.
Natasha sat down at her desk as she picked up her phone and she dialed a number as her called was picked up quickly.
"Hello Chloe" said Natasha as she smiled.
"Hi Natasha, is everything alright?" asked Chloe as she smiled.
"Everything is alright Chloe, I just called to inform you that something came up, and I can't come to the office today, I am very sorry" said Natasha.
"Oh that is alright Natasha, I understand, I hope that everything is alright though?" asked Chloe as she smiled.
"Well right now, everything is not alright, but it will be soon" said Natasha as she smiled.
"I really hope so, you don't have to worry Natasha, take all the time you need, you are the boss after all" said Chloe as she laughed.
"I am aren't I?" asked Natasha as she laughed.
"I will just send you the minutes of the meeting via email" said Chloe as she smiled.
"That sounds great Chloe, thank you" said Natasha as she smiled.
"No need to thank me Natasha" said Chloe as she smiled.
"I will see you later" said Natasha as she smiled.
"See you" said Chloe as she smiled and Natasha ended the call as the smile on her face disappeared, as she placed her phone on her desk and she picked up the post card as she looked at it again.
Natasha quickly opened her laptop and she switched in on quickly as she waited for it to load impatiently, and once it did, she went to her search engine as she copied the coordinates from the postcard into the search box and she pressed enter as the results came up.
Natasha looked carefully on what she was seeing on her laptop screen, the coordinates that she had searched for had come up as one location alone, and it seemed to be some sort of coffee shop in Moscow.
"I guess I am going to Moscow then" said Natasha to herself as she sighed, this confirmed it, she was going.
Here she was thinking of ways to get the answer of how she could find Romanoff again, but it would seem that he came to her with the information she needed himself.
Natasha had no doubt in her mind about going, for all she knew, this could have been the last time she could have ever seen or have a chance of seeing Romanoff again, so of course she had to go.
All she had to do was to renew her Russian passport, she was lucky that she still had some time before the 1st of November.
"The first of November…" said Natasha to herself as she was thinking, she had to go, yes she knew that she had to.
…
One week later.
"Where are we going Mommy?" asked Joy as she looked at her mother and she giggled.
"Well we are going to the mall" said Natasha as she smiled and she wore her black flats.
"Why are we going to the mall mommy?" asked Joy out of curiosity, today was Saturday, and she wanted to stay home, but since her mommy was going out, then she wanted to go out too, if only her daddy wasn't so busy, so he could go out with hem as well.
"Well my precious baby, I need to buy some things, and also didn't you say that you wanted to cut your hair short like me?" asked Natasha as she smiled and Joy looked at her with wide eyes.
"Really??" asked Joy in surprise.
"Yes my baby, we are going to the hair salon first" said Natasha as she smiled as she saw the excitement on her baby's face, the truth was that if she could, she would have cut Joy's hair short at home by herself, but her baby was blessed with curly hair, and she was not a professional to make sure that every strand of curly hair would be equal, and hence why she would take her to the hair salon.
"Yayyyy" said Joy as she giggled, now she was excited.
"You ready to go now baby?" asked Natasha as she smiled and Joy nodded her head excitedly as Natasha laughed as she picked up Joy from her bed, and she picked up her black purse too on her way out of her room as she closed the door and she walked down the stairs and out the door to her car where someone was waiting for her.
"Ahh good Morning Madam… I mean Natasha" said Benjamin as he smiled.
"Good Morning Benjamin" said Natasha as she smiled.
"You called for me?" asked Benjamin.
"Well yes, I hope you are not busy, I need you to drive me and Joy out and accompany us to the mall" said Natasha as she smiled, she had thought it through, she could not make any more mistakes, she did not trust Romanoff, he could be watching her any second, she needed protection for herself and for her baby.
She knew that she needed a bodyguard to follow her out today, she could not tell Michael, well because that would be giving Dom a free ticket to pry into her life, and she could not deal with that right now, and she also could not call Pete, well because he would scold her for getting herself involved in something dangerous, so who better than Benjamin, who had always been nice to her.
"Sure Madam, I am not busy at all" said Benjamin as he smiled, he could not lie that he was not surprised that she had suddenly called him and asked him to drive her out, but he was a bodyguard, that was part of his job.
"Thank you Benjamin" said Natasha as she smiled at him and he smiled at her.
"Joy, say hello to Benjamin" said Natasha as she looked at Joy.
"Hello" said Joy as she giggled and she waved at Benjamin as he waved back at her with a smile.
"Who is he mommy?" asked Joy as she looked at her mother.
"Well baby, he's my personal trainer, he's the one who taught me how to fight" said Natasha as she explained.
"Ahhh, so cool mommy, can he teach me how to fight as well?" asked Joy in excitement and Benjamin could not help but laugh.
"Well I don't think so darling, you have to ask your daddy first" said Natasha as she laughed, of course Dom would say no.
"Aww" said Joy as she was sad and Natasha laughed, her baby was just like her, in some ways.
"Here are the keys" said Natasha as she laughed and she threw her keys to Benjamin as he caught them.
"Let's go" said Natasha as she smiled.
"Alright" said Benjamin as he smiled and he opened the door for Natasha as she smiled at him.
"You set baby?" asked Natasha as she smiled and she buckled Joy in her car seat.
"Yes mommy" said Joy as she nodded her head and she giggled as Natasha smiled at her, and Benjamin smiled as he started the car and he drove away.
