Chapter 345 - Going on

"Alright my darling, I have to go work now, be good, there are some cookies in the kitchen, you can have some okay?" asked Natasha as she smiled.

"Okay Mommy" said Joy with a giggle as Natasha smiled at her and she gave her a kiss on the forehead as she turned around and walked up the stairs to her office.

Joy was thinking about what to do, but she was hungry, so she decided to go to the kitchen first where Amalia was cleaning.

"Hello Aunty Amalia" said Joy as she smiled.

"Oh hello Joy, what can I do for you?" asked Amalia as she smiled.

"Can I have some cookies?" asked Joy as she smiled.

"Sure, but did you ask your mommy first?" asked Amalia with a smile.

"Yes I did, and she said that I can have some while she's working" said Joy as she smiled.

"Alright, let me get them for you" said Amalia with a smile as Joy nodded and Amalia walked to the fridge as she opened it and Alfred walked into the kitchen.

"Amalia, have you seen Mason?" asked Alfred as Amalia turned to look at him.

"I have, he's in the garden, changing the flowers" said Amalia.

"I see" said Alfred.

"Alfred" called Joy as she looked at Alfred.

"Yes Joy?" asked Alfred as he looked at Joy and he smiled.

"Alfred, can you teach me how to use the telephone?" asked Joy in her cute little voice.

"Well why do you want to know how to use the telephone Joy?" asked Alfred as he smiled.

"I want to know so I can call Ethan, he told me to call him, and also, I think that using the telephone is cool" said Joy as both Alfred and Amalia laugh.

"Well alright Joy, I will teach you how to use the telephone" said Alfred as he smiled.

"Yayy, thank you Alfred, you are the best" said Joy as she hugged Alfred and he smiled at her as Amalia smiled, Joy was just the sweetest, she was sure that it was a crime to be that sweet.

"Alright here Joy, this is the telephone" said Alfred as he walked to the Kitchen counter and he took the white wireless telephone as he showed it to Joy and she nodded.

"The Telephone has many numbers, you press this button, and then you dial the number you want to call, and when you do that you hear it ring and wait for your call to be picked, and when it is, you talk, and when you are done talking you press this button to end the call okay?" asked Alfred as Joy nodded, he knew that she learnt quickly.

"Now, let me demonstrate for you" said Alfred with a smile as he bent down to be on Joy's level and he pressed a button and dialed a number as the phone started to ring and he handed the phone to Joy as the call was picked.

"Hello" said Dom as he put his phone to his ear.

"Hello Daddy!!" said Joy with a cheerful voice as Dom smiled to hear her speak.

"Hello princess, what's going on?" asked Dom as he smiled, he was confused though, this was the home number, and not Natasha's or Alfred's phone.

"Alfred is teaching me how to use the telephone daddy" said Joy as she giggled.

"Ahh I see princess, and how is that going?" asked Dom as he smiled.

"Very fun Daddy, I am going to call Ethan, he's going to help me" said Joy as she giggled.

"Alright princess that sounds nice, but I have to go now, I am in a meeting" said Dom as he smiled.

"Okay Daddy bye, enjoy your meeting" said Joy as she giggled.

"Bye Princess, see you later" said Dom as he smiled and Joy pressed the button on the phone as the call ended.

"Like that Alfred?" asked Joy as she smiled.

"Yes Joy like that" said Alfred as he smiled.

"Yayy, thank you Alfred" said Joy as she giggled and she gave Alfred a kiss on the cheek.

"You are welcome Joy" said Alfred as he smiled.

"I need to go to the garden now, take care" said Alfred as he smiled.

"Thank you Alfred, take care too" said Joy as she smiled and Alfred smiled at her as he walked out of the kitchen.

"Your cookies Joy" said Amalia as she handed Joy a plate of cookies.

"Thank you Aunt Amalia" said Joy with a smile as she held the plate of cookies.

"Do you want some milk?" asked Amalia as Joy smiled.

"Yes Chocolate please" said Joy as she smiled and Amalia smiled as she poured some chocolate milk into a glass and she put it on a little tray along with Joy's plate of cookies as she handed it to Joy.

"Thank you" said Joy as she smiled and she walked out of the kitchen slowly.

"Enjoy it" said Amalia as she smiled.

Joy walked to the dining room carefully as she placed the tray on the ground and she put her milk on the dining table, and then followed her plate of cookies and the telephone that she put on the tray, and then she put the tray itself on the dining table.

She pulled out the dining chair a bit and she squeezed herself to sit down since she couldn't push herself inside, she sat down and she took a bite out of one cookie and she drank her chocolate milk.

Joy chewed for a while before she checked in the pocket of her jeans as she brought out the paper that Ethan gave her.

She took the telephone as she pressed the button and she copied the numbers on the paper as she dialed the number and waited for it to be picked up.

The sound of a phone ringing could be heard as a woman was walking from the kitchen to answer the phone.

"I'll get it Betty" said Ethan as he rushed down the stairs and past the kitchen.

"Okay" said Betty.

"Stop running in the house, you know how your mom gets, and also lunch will be ready soon" said Betty as she smiled and Ethan smiled at her.

"Thanks Betty" said Ethan as he picked the call and Betty walked back into the kitchen.

"Hello" came Joy's voice from the other side of the line.

"Oh you actually did it" said Ethan.

"Yes, Alfred taught me how to use the telephone" said Joy as she ate another cookie and Ethan walked up the stairs with the phone.

"What are you eating?" asked Ethan.

"Cookies" replied Joy happily.

"Betty, do we have any cookies?" shouted Ethan from upstairs.

"You know the rules Ethan, not before lunch time" replied Betty as Ethan groaned.

"Okay, okay" replied Ethan.

"If you want cookies you can come to my house and have some" said Joy.

"Don't just invite random people to your house for cookies dummy" said Ethan.

"I'm not a dummy, and I don't invite anyone, only you, because you are my friend" said Joy as Ethan laughed.

"I'm not your friend, you don't even have any friends" said Ethan.

"No I do, I have Clarita, Prince and Leon, they are my friends, an Clarita is my best friend" said Joy.

"Whatever you say" said Ethan.

"Ethan you said that you would help me make my mommy and daddy fall in love, how do I do that?" asked Joy as Ethan walked into his father's office as he closed the door and he sat down at the desk.

"Firstly, do you know why they fell out of love with each other?" asked Ethan as Joy shook her head.

"No I don't know why, they didn't tell me" said Joy.

"Well then, we have nothing to directly avoid" said Ethan.

"What does that mean?" asked Joy.

"Look dummy, rule number 1, you have to get them to kiss" said Ethan.

"To kiss?" asked Joy as Ethan nodded.

"Yes, my mom says that kisses fix everything, although I disagree with her, kissing is stupid, but adults do it, maybe if you get your parents to kiss they will fall in love again or whatever" said Ethan.

"Ethan, lunch is ready" came Betty's voice.

"I'll be down in five" replied Ethan.

"Okay" said Betty.

"But I don't know how to get them to kiss, they are never close to each other" said Joy.

"Well that is up to you dummy, you have to be creative, use that cute brain of yours, I am sure you can think of something" said Ethan.

"Okay" said Joy as she started to think.

"Thank you Ethan" said Joy as she smiled.

"Mhmm, whatever step 1 first, then on to step 2" said Ethan.

"Okay" said Joy.

"Anyway, I have to go now" said Ethan.

"Bye Bye Ethan" said Joy as Ethan ended the call and he scoffed.

"Such a big baby" said Ethan as he shook his head.

"Hmm, how do I get them to kiss?" asked Joy to herself as she was thinking, she was sure that this was going to be very hard to do.

Natasha was looking through all the files one by one, so far nothing really incriminating, only some details of missions that she assumed had already been completed.

Natasha stopped scrolling when a certain name caught her interest and her phone rang as she picked it up.

"Hello" said Natasha as she put her phone to her ear without even checking who it was.

"Hello to you too devochka (girl)" came Romanoff's voice.

"To what do I owe this call of yours Romanoff?" asked Natasha.

"I wanted to check on you" said Romanoff as Natasha laughed.

"Mhmm" said Natasha.

"Send me your bank account details, your reward for the mission well done" said Romanoff.

"I'll text it to you" said Natasha.

"You surprise me, I thought you would reject the offer" said Romanoff.

"No one rejects money Romanoff, we need it" said Natasha as she smiled.

"Besides, I did do a good job, I brought you who you were looking for, so I am only getting the reward I deserve" said Natasha.

"You surprise me devochka (girl), but you are right" said Romanoff.

"Anyway, there is a package I sent to you, it should be delivered soon" said Romanoff.

"What is it?" asked Natasha as she scrolled down on her laptop, it seemed that Romanoff did not notice that she had stolen information from him.

"You will see it when it gets there" said Romanoff.

"What if it's a bomb?" asked Natasha.

"Do you really think that I would send you a bomb devochka (girl)?" asked Romanoff as Natasha scoffed.

"Better to be safe than sorry, I don't know what you can and cannot do" said Natasha.

"If you don't know me by now, I am high disappointed, but I have things to do devochka (girl) take care, be alert" said Romanoff as he ended the call and Natasha scoffed as she shook her head.
