"Joy come on let's play catch with the boys" said Clarita as she ran to Joy with a giggle.
"I don't want to Clarita, the boys never play fair, they hide the ball" said Joy with a frown.
"Hmm true, so what should we do then?" asked Clarita.
"I don't know" replied Joy as she drew with her finger in the dirt.
"Hmm what about we go play on the swings?" asked Clarita as Joy shook her head.
"On the slide?" asked Clarita as Joy shook her head.
"Hmm okay, how about we go play with Ethan, he's over there with his friends" said Clarita.
"No, Ethan doesn't like it when we disturb him and he's with his friends" said Joy.
"That's not fair, we are his friends too" said Clarita.
"True, maybe I should go ask him" said Joy.
"Yes Joy, go ask him, I have to go and pee, I will be right back" said Clarita as Joy nodded and Clarita rushed off as Joy looked in the direction Ethan was in and she walked over to where he was talking with his friends.
She overheard their conversation, and they seemed to be talking about where babies came from, which made her confused and intrigued as the bell suddenly rang and it was time for them all to go back to their classes.
"Everyone line up" came Jennifer's voice as Joy ran to join her other classmates.
…
"So how was school today my baby?" asked Natasha as Joy buckled up her carseat belt, and she started the car.
"It was very nice mommy, we had extra time at breaktime, and then Clarita and I were bored because the boys always cheat when we play catch with the balls, and we all counted to 100 in class today" said Joy.
"That sounds nice my darling, I am glad that you enjoyed school today" said Natasha as she smiled and Joy smiled.
"Oh my darling, I have to tell you that I won't be home today, I have lots of things to do at the farm" said Natasha.
"Okay mommy, are the tomatoes doing okay?" asked Joy with a smile.
"Well something happened to them, but things are fine" replied Natasha as she smiled, she didn't want to tell Joy the bad news, she did not need to wrap her little cute heard around it.
"Okay mommy" said Joy.
"My darling, can you do me a favour, take my phone and call Aunt Lulu for me?" asked Natasha as Joy nodded.
"Okay mommy" replied Joy as she picked up Natasha's phone beside her.
"Do you know how to dial a number my darling?" asked Natasha as she kept her eyes on the road.
"Yes I do mommy, uncle Charlie taught me how" said Joy with a smile.
"Alright my darling, find Aunt Lulu's contact" said Natasha.
"Aunt Lulu's name starts with the letter L right mommy?" asked Joy.
"Right" replied Natasha as Joy scrolled down to find Lulu's name and she dialed the number.
"Did you do it my darling?" asked Natasha.
"Yes mommy, it's ringing" replied Joy.
"Okay put it on speaker" said Natasha as Joy nodded and she did so as Lulu answered the call.
"Heyyyyyyy Natasha" came Lulu's loud voice as Natasha smiled.
"Hi Lulu, are you at home right now?" asked Natasha.
"Yes I'm at home, packing for the trip" replied Lulu.
"When are you leaving?" asked Natasha.
"Hmm at around 4pm, but I'll be home till then" said Lulu.
"Alright, can you please do me a favour and stay with Joy, I have some things to take care of, and Alfred is at Grandfather's and Michael and the others are working" said Natasha.
"Oh of course I can Natasha, you didn't even have to ask, I got your back" said Lulu as Natasha laughed.
"Thanks Lulu, you are the best" replied Natasha.
"You know that I am the best" said Lulu as Natasha laughed.
"See you!!" said Lulu as she ended the call and Joy put Natasha's phone down.
"Mommy, I have a question" said Joy.
"What is it my darling?" asked Natasha.
"Mommy, I want to know where…" said Joy as Natasha's phone rang and stopped her from speaking.
"Who is calling me my darling?" asked Natasha.
"I don't know mommy, it starts with the letter P" replied Joy.
"Oh it must be Pete, I will call him back later" said Natasha.
"Okay mommy" said Joy.
"So what did you want to ask me my darling?" asked Natasha.
"Can I have cookies when we get home?" asked Joy as Natasha laughed, that was what she wanted to ask her.
"After lunch you can have some" replied Natasha.
"Thank you mommy" said Joy with a smile.
…
"Alright my darling, I will see you at 6, be good, and I love you" said Natasha.
"I love you too mommy" said Joy as she got out of the car and Natasha drove away.
Joy walked to the front door as she opened it and ran up the stairs.
"Aunt Lulu" called Joy.
"I'm in here Joy" replied Lulu as Joy entered her room and Lulu hugged her and Joy giggled.
"Oh my wonderful niece, how are you?" asked Lulu.
"I am good Aunt Lulu" said Joy.
"How was school?" asked Lulu with a smile.
"It was good Aunt Lulu" replied Joy with a smile.
"I am glad" said Lulu with a smile.
"Aunt Lulu, where are you going?" asked Joy.
"Ahh well I have to go on a business trip with my mentor at the office, and I won't be back till next week Tuesday" said Lulu.
"Aww Aunt Lulu, I will miss you" said Joy.
"Aww my precious niece I will miss you too, but don't worry I will be back very soon, and I will get you a present" said Lulu as Joy hugged her.
"Awww you are too cute, you make me want a child of my own" said Lulu as she laughed and Joy laughed.
"Yes Aunt, have a child, so I can have a cousin" said Joy as Lulu laughed.
"Oh my dear Joy, that would be in the very far future" said Lulu with a chuckle.
"Aunt I have a question where do b…" said Joy as she was cut off by Nine's voice.
"Lulu are you ready so I can drive you to the airport?" asked Nine as he walked into Lulu's room.
"Almost Nine, the flight time was changed to 6pm, we can leave by 4" replied Lulu.
"Alright then" said Nine.
"Hi Uncle Nine" said Joy as she hugged Nine.
"Hi princess how are you?" asked Nine with a smile as he carried her.
"I am good uncle Nine" replied Joy with a giggle.
"Did you just come back from school?" asked Nine as Joy nodded.
"Why haven't you changed yet?" asked Nine.
"I came to see Aunt Lulu first, Aunt Lulu can I go to the park?" asked Joy as she looked at Lulu.
"Sure my precious you can" replied Lulu.
"Hold up, no, Joy you can't go out, go change from your uniform first, and then have lunch, do your homework if you have any, and then you can go play" said Nine as he shook his head with a scolding look at Lulu.
"Oh okay uncle Nine" said Joy.
"Good" said Nine as he put Joy down and she walked out of Lulu's room to go get changed.
"Lulu, you are going to spoil her like that" said Nine as Lulu smiled sheepishly.
"Sorry Nine, I can't help it, and that's why I don't have children" replied Lulu as she laughed and Nine shook his head.
…
"Hi Ethan!!!" said Joy as she ran to Ethan who was watching Pluto play in the grass.
"Hi" replied Ethan.
"How are you Ethan?" asked Joy with a smile.
"Good and how are you?" asked Ethan.
"Good" replied Joy as she was silent and Ethan glanced at her, she was too quiet, quieter than usual, something was obviously wrong.
Ethan sighed internally, scolding himself for what he was about to ask.
"What's wrong dummy? Why are you so quiet?" asked Ethan.
"I have a question" said Joy.
"What is it?" asked Ethan.
"Can I really ask you Ethan?" asked Joy.
"Either you do, or you don't I have no time for this" said Ethan.
"Where do babies come from? Don't they come from heaven?" asked Joy as Ethan looked at her in horror, he was horrified by her question.
"Of course they don't come from heaven dummy, gosh" said Ethan.
"Then where do they come from?" asked Joy.
"Look dummy, I am not going to explain the whole ordeal to you, no way" said Ethan.
"Tell me Ethan I want to know" said Joy.
"Don't ask me, wait until you take biology, or just ask your parents, I'm not going to be the one to taint your ears" replied Ethan as Joy frowned.
"You are not fair Ethan, you know, so tell me" said Joy.
"Not a chance dummy, not a chance" said Ethan as Joy frowned at him.
