Remember

"Mommy Ethan's puppy is so cute, and very fluffy, and she had white fur" said Joy as she giggled and described how the puppy looked, completely forgetting that Natasha had seen the puppy before."

"I can only imagine my darling, so does the puppy have a name?" asked Natasha with a smile.

"Yes Ethan named her Pluto, and I thought that he named her after the planet, but then Ethan said that Pluto stopped being a planet in 2001?" said Joy as she was not certain.

"2007 my princess" said Dom with a smile as Joy looked at him.

"Yes daddy in 2007, that was when I was born right?" asked Joy with a smile.

"Yes my princess" said Dom with a smile.

"Daddy, why did Pluto stop being a planet?" asked Joy.

"Well there were many reasons, but the scientists concluded that Pluto did not have enough characteristics to be a planet" said Dom as he explained.

"Characteristics?" asked Joy in confusion, she had never heard that word before.

"Yes characteristics darling, it means features, like your face, your eyes, your nose" said Natasha as Joy nodded.

"Yes, so if planets have eyes, noses and ears, Pluto didn't have eyes, noses and ears" said Dom.

"Ahh I see now daddy" said Joy as she smiled and Dom smiled.

"Ethan said that he named Pluto after Pluto Mickey Mouse's dog" said Joy as both Natasha and Dom laughed, that was a very silly reason, it was cute.

"That sounds nice my darling" said Natasha with a smile as she blew her nose.

"Mommy, have you had any pets before?" asked Joy in curiosity.

"Well no my darling, I found out at a very young age that I was allergic to the fur of cats and dogs and hamsters, hairy animals, and then my dad told me that my mom said that she too was allergic to the fur of those animals, so it turned out it was genetic" said Natasha as she sniffed.

"I never had any pets because my allergies would start and it would just be horrible" said Natasha as she smiled.

"How did you find out that you had allergies mommy?" asked Joy as Natasha looked at Dom who looked at her.

"Well princess, we were very young back then, and we used to play around the estate" said Dom as he smiled.

"And then your Grandfather bought a puppy, which we were all playing with when suddenly your mommy started to sneeze and itch and she turned red, we all panicked and we rushed to your Grandpappy's house and my Grandma didn't know what was wrong, so she gave your mommy some medicine and the itching and sneezing stopped" said Dom with a smile.

"I don't even remember it that vividly" said Natasha as she did not think that Dom would remember so clearly.

"Well I was way older than you, so I remember" said Dom as he smiled.

"But yes, I found out I had allergies at a young age, and I didn't get any pets, not like I minded" said Natasha with a smile.

"That means that I can't get my own puppy because you are allergic" said Joy in a sad tone, she really wanted a pet that she could take care of on her own, but that wasn't going to happen with Natasha's allergies.

"Aww my baby, I'm sorry, you want a puppy of your own?" asked Natasha as Joy nodded and she felt bad that her baby won't be able to have a pet because of her allergies, she could see the disappointment on Joy's face.

"I can get you a fish my princess" said Dom with a smile, that was the next best thing, Natasha wasn't allergic to fishes.

"No daddy, I don't want a fish, I want a dog" said Joy sadly.

"I'm sorry my darling" said Natasha as that was something she could not change, even coming in close contact with a dog or cat would trigger her allergies.

"It's fine mommy" said Joy.

"Can I go and play with Aunt Lulu?" asked Joy.

"Yes my darling, you can" said Natasha with a smile as Joy walked out of the room.

"She's disappointed" said Dom.

"I can see that, and I feel bad, my allergies are not something I can change" said Natasha with a smile.

"She knows that" said Dom.

"Yes she does, but she's still a child, and all children want to have a pet, an animal that is their own responsibility that they can take care of, and a fish is well it's a fish" said Natasha.

"She'll be fine, don't worry about it too much" said Dom as he could see that Natasha felt bad.

"I won't now please get out of my room" said Natasha with a sniff as Dom walked away.

A few days later.

Natasha was walking down the stairs when she heard excited giggling coming from the living room, she wondered what was going on.

Natasha walked to the living room as she was surprised by what she saw.

"Grandfather?" asked Natasha in confusion as she saw Ernest hugging Joy as he looked at her.

"Ahh my dear, I see that you are feeling better now" said Ernest with a smile as Natasha was not focusing on him at all, rather she was focusing on something else that was not supposed to be in here.

"Grandfather, what is a chicken doing in my living room?" asked Natasha in confusion as she pointed to a reddish brown coloured chicken that was on the floor walking around as it had a pink leash around its neck.

"Oh that" said Ernest with a smile.

"Mommy, Mommy!! Grandpappy brough me a chicken!!" said Joy excitedly as she rushed to Natasha with stars in her eyes.

"And why exactly did he do that?" asked Natasha as this made no sense to her.

"Because the chicken belongs to Joy, it is her new pet" said Ernest with a smile.

"What??!" asked Natasha as she could not believe what she was hearing.

"Yes my dear, I of course heard about how my lovely great granddaughter was saddened that she could not get a puppy due to your allergies, so I came up with a solution" said Ernest with a proud smile on his face, as if he had just solved all the world's problems.

"Mommy, mommy, I have a chicken now" said Joy as she giggled and Natasha looked down at she could not think straight right now, she had two children in front of her, one little one and one big one, and she could not deal with the big one, he was confusing her a lot.

"Grandfather, that's a chicken, it's a chicken, since when were chickens pets?" asked Natasha as Joy walked to pet her chicken.

"Well they can start now, it's a solved problem, you are not allergic to the feathers, and Joy can have a pet to take care of, it's a win win" said Ernest as Natasha took a deep calming breath, she had just recovered from her allergies, and now Ernest showed up unannounced and not alone, but with a chicken as well, and worst of all, he had already showed the chicken to Joy, it would be hard for Joy to let the chicken go.

"Grandfather, a chicken is not a pet, it's chicken, and it's in my living room" said Natasha.

"My dear, the chicken is clean, and potty trained as well, I made sure to buy the best well behaved chicken" said Ernest as Natasha laughed, this was too much for her.

"Mommy, mommy, my chicken is very clean" said Joy.

"Look my darling, a chicken is no pet for a child, your Grandfather will take the chicken and return it to wherever he brought It from and get his money back" said Natasha.

"No mommy, no, I want to keep the chicken, can I keep the chicken pleaseee??" asked Joy as she almost started to cry, she did not want to lose the chicken as well, she already liked it very much.

"See what you did now Grandfather" said Natasha with a sigh as she looked at Ernest.

"I'm sorry dear, but let her have the chicken, let her keep it, please" said Ernest.

"Natasha dear, please let the chicken stay" said Ernest as he and Joy pleaded with Natasha.

"Please mommy, please say yes, let me keep the chicken, please mommy, please" said Joy with her cute big brown eyes as Natasha she sighed, what kind of problem did she have now??

Natasha took a deep breath, she did not want to break Joy's heart.

"Alright, fine you can keep the chicken my darling" said Natasha with a sigh, hoping that she would not end up regretting this.

"Yayyyyyyyyy!!! Yayyyy, thank you mommy!!" said Joy as she was ecstatic and she hugged Natasha who smiled.

"Thank you Grandpappy" said Joy as she hugged Ernest.

"You are welcome my lovely Joy, be a good pet owner my girl" said Ernest with a smile, he felt overjoyed that his great granddaughter was happy.

"I will Grandpappy I will, thank you" said Joy with a big bright smile.
