Green Monkey

"Hello my baby" said Natasha as she walked into Joy's room.

"Mommy, Mommy" said Joy as she looked up and she stood up from her pink carpet and she ran to hug her mother, and Natasha carried her.

"Did you miss my my baby??" asked Natasha as she laughed and Joy nodded.

"Yes Mommy, I missed you" said Joy and Natasha smiled, it felt good to have someone to miss you when you were gone.

"Aww my baby" said Natasha.

"Mommy, mommy me and Alfred went to the garden, and then I found his very pretty flower" said Joy as she pointed to the pink carpet she was sitting on before her mother came in.

"Is that so my baby??" asked Natasha.

"Yes Mommy" said Joy as Natasha walked over to where Joy was sitting before.

Joy's pink carpet was all scattered with crayons all around, and it seemed like Joy was colouring in her colouring book.

"See the pretty flower Mommy" said Joy as Natasha put her down and Joy walked over and picked the flower that she was keeping safe.

"Oh it does look very pretty my baby" said Natasha as she laughed as Joy gave her the flower, the flower was pink with red hues at the edge of the petals, it looked so delicate and clean.

"Yes it does Mommy" said Joy as she smiled as Natasha gave her back the flower.

"I am going to show daddy" said Joy as she smiled and she kept back the flower where she was keeping it.

"Okay my baby" said Natasha as she laughed.

"So my baby, have you had lunch yet?" asked Natasha as the time was currently 3pm.

"Yes Mommy I had lunch" said Joy as she smiled.

"Oh you did my baby??" asked Natasha and Joy nodded.

"What did you have for lunch my baby?" asked Natasha.

"Well Mommy I had a mixed jam sandwich" said Joy.

"Ahh I see my baby" said Natasha as she laughed.

"And did it taste good?" asked Natasha.

"Yes Mommy, it tasted the best!!" said Joy as she nodded her head in approval.

"And Mommy did you have lunch?" asked Joy as she looked up at her mother.

"Well No, not yet my baby, I wanted to come and see you first" said Natasha as she smiled and she patted Joy on her head.

"Oh okay mommy" said Joy as she smiled.

"So how was your day my baby?" asked Natasha as she sat down on Joy's pink carpet and she began to pick up all the scattered crayons and she put them back in their box.

"Mommy my day was very good" said Joy as she nodded and she sat down next to her mother.

"That sounds very good my baby" said Natasha as she smiled.

"My baby, always make sure to put back your crayons back in their box" said Natasha.

"You do not want them getting lost do you?" asked Natasha as she looked at Joy, and Joy shook her head.

"So my baby, always return your colours okay?" asked Natasha.

"Okay Mommy" said Joy as she nodded, and she picked up one of the colours in front of her and she gave them to her mommy.

"Good Girl" said Natasha as she smiled and Joy giggled, she loved to make her mother proud of her.

"My baby, you are getting very good at colouring" said Natasha as she picked up Joy's colouring book.

"Thank you Mommy" said Joy as she smiled.

Natasha laughed, Joy was colouring monkey, and yet she used green for the monkey's fur, and he colouring looked very rough, as if Joy was scratching the colouring book, but at least it was better than before, Natasha could remember that Joy just used to circle around with her crayon, at least now she made an attempt to colour inside the lines.

"My baby, why did you colour the monkey green?" asked Natasha as she laughed.

"Have you ever seen a green monkey before?" she asked as she turned to look at Joy.

"No mommy I have never seen a green monkey before" said Joy.

"But I did not want to colour the monkey brown, I wanted it brighter" said Joy as she laughed.

"Oh is that so my baby?" asked Natasha and Joy nodded.

"Yes Mommy, Miss B says that we should all be creative and that we can do things our own way" said Joy.

"My baby" said Natasha as she laughed, Joy looked very convinced that her green monkey was genuine.

"Well my baby Miss B is right" said Natasha.

"But sometimes, as much as you would want to be creative, there are just some things that you have to follow the rules of" said Natasha as she smiled.

"Like what mommy??" asked Joy

"Like in Mathematics my baby" said Natasha.

"What is one plus one my baby??" asked Natasha.

"Two" said Joy as she counted her fingers.

"Yes my baby" said Natasha as she smiled.

"One plus one will always be two my baby, no matter how much you want it to be another number, it will always be two" said Natasha.

"Oooh I get it now mommy" said Joy as she nodded.

"Yes my baby" said Natasha as she smiled.

"So you need to be creative my baby, and you also need to follow the rules when you need to" said Natasha.

"Okay Mommy" said Joy as she nodded her head.

"Ahh Madam, I did not know that you were back" said Alfred as he walked into the room and he saw the mother and daughter pair sitting on the carpet.

"I returned not too long ago Alfred" said Natasha as she smiled.

"Madam, would you like to eat lunch??" asked Alfred.

"Sure Alfred" said Natasha as she smiled.

"Okay Madam" said Alfred as he turned around to go on his way.

"Mommy, can I go to the kitchen with Alfred?" asked Joy as she turned to look at her mother.

"Yes of course my baby, you can" said Natasha.

"Yayyy, thank you mommy" said Joy as she smiled.

"Just be careful okay" said Natasha.

"Okay Mommy" said Joy as she nodded her head and she ran to Alfred.

"Let's go Alfred" she said as she held his hand and Alfred smiled at her, Natasha smiled at the cute scene in front of her.

Once Alfred and Joy were gone, Natasha removed her phone from her pocket, she had and idea, she would have called Pete, but she was sure that he was still busy with the robbery and all, so she just texted him.

Once the text was sent she put her phone back in her pocket, she stood up and she went to the kitchen to find Joy and Alfred.

"Hello you two" said Natasha as she walked into the kitchen and she heard Joy giggle.

"Mommy Mommy, Alfred showed me how to make a mixed jam sandwich" said Joy excitedly.

"Oh that sounds very nice my baby" said Natasha as she smiled.

"Here Mommy, I made you lunch" said Joy as Alfred carried her down from the little stool her had put for her so she could reach the kitchen countertop.

"It's a mixed jam sandwich" said Joy as she walked over to her mother with the sandwich in her messy jam filled hands.

"Aww Thank you my baby, you are so thoughtful" said Natasha as she bent down and she took the sandwich from Joy.

Joy looked very expectant, so Natasha ate the sandwich with a smile, and to Natasha's shock, she felt like she had bit into just jam and no bread.

"How does it taste mommy??" asked Joy.

Natasha looked at Alfred who was busy trying so hard not to laugh at all.

"Mhmmm baby, it tastes good" said Natasha as she smiled.

"Yayyyyyyy" said Joy as she was very happy.

"But next time my baby, please don't add too much jam" said Natasha.

"Okay Mommy" said Joy as she smiled.

Natasha laughed at Alfred who was busy looking at the big mess Joy created on the countertop, there was Jam basically everywhere, Joy really was messy.

"Well my baby, let's go wash your hands, while Alfred cleans up" said Natasha as she laughed.

"Okay Mommy" said Joy as she laughed and followed after her mother.

Alfred sighed, he should not have sent the kitchen staff off for the day.

...

Nighttime had arrived and Joy was already asleep.

"Daddy??" asked Joy as she woke up and she rubbed her eyes.

"*Shush*, go back to sleep my princess" said Dom as he gave Joy a kiss on the cheek.

"You said you were going to see my flower" said Joy as she yawned she was sleepy and yet she was still talking.

Dom laughed, this little daughter of his would never forget anything, she would not rest until she was fulfilled, which in this case was until he saw that flower.

"Yes my princess I will see it in the morning" said Dom as he smiled.

"I have it right here daddy" said Joy as she opened her hand and she showed Dom the flower.

"It is a very pretty flower my princess" said Dom.

"Yes daddy it is" said Joy as she rubbed her eyes.

"Now my princess, go back to sleep" said Dom as he tucked Joy back in.

"Okay daddy" said Joy as she laid back in her bed.

"Goodnight my princess" said Dom as he smiled.

"Goodnight Daddy" said Joy as she closed her eyes and Dom smiled at her.
