Here with me

Five days later.

Natasha looked at her new Russian passport, she had gone to the embassy to renew her passport a week ago, and well now it was out, everything was ready for her to go to Moscow.

Natasha closed her passport as she put it in one of her bags and she could not help but laugh, the funny thing was that she had never been to Russia, not even once, she had never travelled out of the country, but well her father always told her how her mother made sure that if she ever wanted to go there, she would never be a stranger there.

So in a way, it was good that she was a Russian citizen, by her mother being one, or else, she would not have had it so smooth to plan all this.

Natasha started at the empty suitcase on her bed, she had to pack many warm clothes, because apparently Russia was cold this time of the year.

Of course she still had doubts about this whole thing, Romanoff obviously was not someone to be trusted, Natasha even know that he was spying on her, he had been spying on her for a long time now, and she was suspicious of him, but well she needed answers, answers that only he could answer, since everyone else who could answer them for her were dead, her mother, her father, so it was only him left.

Natasha was so deep in her thoughts that she did not notice or hear the tiny feet of her little precious baby as she walked into her mother's room, as her door was left a little but open.

"Mommy, what are you doing?" asked Joy in curiosity as she saw her mother standing, while there was a yellow suitcase open on her bed.

"Oh my baby, I didn't hear you come in" said Natasha as she snapped out of her thoughts and she looked down at her baby with a smile and she carried her in her arms.

"Mommy I was bored" said Joy as she looked at her mother.

"You were?" asked Natasha as Joy nodded her head.

"Well where is your daddy? Weren't you playing with him?" asked Natasha.

"Daddy got a call from the office, so he left" said Joy as she played with her mother's hair.

"Oh well alright my baby, you can stay here with me" said Natasha as she smiled and Joy smiled at her.

"Mommy, what are you doing? Are you going on another trip?" asked Joy as she pointed to the open suitcase on Natasha's bed.

"Well my baby, I am packing, and you are right, I am going on another trip" said Natasha as she smiled and she poked her baby's nose.

"But why??" asked Joy as she looked very sad, she did not want her mother to go on another trip, no, not again, not after last time, she missed her so much last time she went on a trip, she did not want to miss her again.

"Well my baby, there are some adult things I need to take care of" said Natasha as she smiled, she could sense that Joy was not happy about her going on a trip.

"You don't want me to go do you?" asked Natasha.

"No Mommy, don't go" said Joy as she looked at her mother with her sad big doe eyes.

"Oh my baby, if you keep on looking at me like that I won't be able to" said Natasha as she sighed and she smiled, believe her she did not want to go anywhere, she wanted to stay here with her baby, but right now, there were some things that she had to take care of first if she wanted to be sure of her safety.

"Don't go mommy, please" said Joy as she pleaded with her mother, and Natasha felt her heart melting.

"Oh my baby, believe me when I say that I don't want to go either, but If I don't, I will miss an opportunity to find out some things about my own family" said Natasha as she explained and Joy didn't say anything.

"I really want to stay here with you my baby, but I can't, but I promise you, I will be quick" said Natasha as she smiled and she ran her fingers through her baby's curly, hair.

"Your promise mommy?" asked Joy.

"I promise" said Natasha as she smiled and she gave her baby a kiss on her forehead as Joy went back to smiling as she giggled.

"You feel better now?" asked Natasha as she smiled.

"Yes mommy, I feel way better" said Joy as she giggled and Natasha laughed at her.

"I am glad my baby, besides, there is no need for you to feel sad, you have your daddy to keep you company" said Natasha as she smiled.

"But daddy is always busy" said Joy.

"Oh baby, you know he always has time for you, always" said Natasha as she smiled.

"Mommy, where are you going to?" asked Joy in curiosity.

"Well my baby, I am going to Russia" said Natasha as she smiled.

"Russia?" asked Joy in confusion as she giggled, the name sounded very funny to her.

"Yes my baby, Russia, do you know what Russia is?" asked Natasha as she smiled and Joy shook her head no.

"Well Russia Is a country, where people live as well, people from Russia are called Russians" said Natasha as she explained.

"Ahh, I see mommy, like we are called Americans?" asked Joy as she smiled.

"Yes my baby, exactly like that" said Natasha as she smiled, her baby was smart.

"The capital of Russia Is called Moscow, and that's where I am going" said Natasha as she smiled.

"Moscow?" asked Joy.

"Yes my baby Moscow" said Natasha as she smiled.

"That name sounds funny Mommy" said Joy as she giggled.

"In a way it is" said Natasha as she laughed.

"But why are you going to Russia Mommy?" asked Joy.

"Well my baby, I am part Russian, my mother, your grandmother, was Russian, and then she married my Father, your grandfather, who was American, and then then, they had me" said Natasha as she explained.

"So does that mean that I am part Russian as well Mommy?" asked Joy.

"Well yes my baby, you are in a way, and you are also part Japanese" said Natasha as she laughed.

"How am I part Japanese mommy?" asked Joy in confusion.

"Well from your Father's side, his great, great, great, grandfather, was from Japan" said Natasha as she explained.

"Ahhh okay mommy, I get it now" said Joy as she giggled and Natasha laughed.

"Yes, so you see my baby, I am going to Russia to visit my Uncle" said Natasha as she smiled.

"You have an Uncle in Russia mommy?" asked Joy.

"Yes my baby, he's my mother's brother… sort of, but yes he's my uncle, and well I haven't met him before, so I want to go visit him" said Natasha as she smiled.

"You are going to visit your Uncle?" asked Joy.

"Yes my baby" said Natasha as she smiled.

"Mommy can I meet your uncle as well?" asked Joy as she giggled.

"Well not right now my baby, he doesn't know you, but when I go and visit him, I will tell him about you" said Natasha as she smiled and she poked Joy's nose which made Joy giggle.

"Okay mommy" said Joy as she laughed.

"Mommy is he is your Uncle, then what is he to me?" asked Joy.

"Well my baby, that would make him your great Uncle" said Natasha as she smiled.

"Ooooh" said Joy as she nodded her head, well now she knew that she had a great uncle in Russia.

"Mommy, how long will you visit him for?" asked Joy.

"Well my baby, I'm not sure, maybe 2-3 days" said Natasha as she smiled she did not know if Romanoff would answer all her questions quickly.

"Mommy, how far is Russia?" asked Joy.

"Well my baby" said Natasha as she sat down on the edge of her bed while still carrying Joy.

"Russia is very far, very far, It is a long plane right from here, and Russia is 8 hours ahead of us right now, so it's 1pm right now, over there it's 9pm" said Natasha as she smiled.

"That Is too far mommy" said Joy.

"I know my baby" said Natasha as she smiled.

"Mommy, have you been to Russia before?" asked Joy as she smiled.

"Well no my baby, I have not, this will be my first time going there" said Natasha as she smiled.

"Which is why I am packing my clothes and getting ready for my flight on Monday" said Natasha as she smiled.

"Can I help you pack mommy?" asked Joy as she smiled.

"Of course my baby, you can" said Natasha as she smiled.

"Yayyy, mommy, what is the weather like in Russia?" asked Joy.

"Well my baby, it is very, very, very cold, so help me pack some warm clothes okay?" asked Natasha as she smiled.

"Okay mommy" said Joy as she nodded her head and she giggled.

"Oh my baby, I love you" said Natasha as she smiled at her precious baby.

"I love you too mommy" said Joy as she giggled and she hugged her mother which warmed Natasha's heart, she would make sure to return very, very soon, as quickly as she could, once she got the answers that she was looking for.
