Ginger Ice cream

Natasha sighed, she was tired, and not because she had been busy, but because she had so many bottled up emotions that she could not express out at this point in time, she was suffering on the inside and she could do nothing about it.

She could not go on and pretend like nothing was wrong when everything was wrong, she thought that she was strong enough not to feel anything at all for Dom, and she was wrong, she no longer felt love for him, but she felt hurt, she felt betrayed and angry, that he of all people, let her down, and she died… she died just like that.

Natasha brought out her phone, she needed something to distract herself, she opened her email, and she was going through some emails when she heard the door open a few minutes later.

"Mommy, we are backkk!!" said Joy as Dom opened the door her, and she climbed into the car as Natasha smiled at her and she put her phone away.

"Welcome back my baby" said Natasha as she smiled at Joy and she buckled her into her car seat.

"Did you enjoy going to the ice cream parlour??" asked Natasha as she smiled.

"Yes Mommy" said Joy as she smiled.

"There were so many flavours" said Joy as she laughed.

"Daddy took plain vanilla, I took chocolate, and we got ginger for you mommy" said Joy as she smiled.

"That sounds very nice my baby" said Natasha as she smiled as Dom closed the car door and he walked to the front seat and he opened the door and he got into the car, he turned to the back, and gave Joy her Ice cream, and she gave Natasha her own ice cream, as he placed his own ice cream, which he had not gotten in a cone, but in a plastic tub, and he placed it on the passenger seat beside him.

"Thank you daddy" said Joy as she smiled.

"You are welcome sweetie" said Dom as he smiled at Joy, and his eyes went to Natasha, who collected her ice cream from him, and she completely ignored him like he was not there at all, he did not even say anything as he turned back to the front and he started the car.

Joy closed her eyes for a brief second and then she opened them again, as the car began to move.

"Mommy can I take my ice cream??" asked Joy as she turned to look at her mother.

"Of course you can sweetie" said Natasha as she smiled at her cute little baby.

"Thank you mommy" said Joy as she smiled and she began to lick her ice cream.

"My baby what is your favourite part of eating ice cream??" asked Natasha as she was curious to what her baby thought.

"Mommy I like eating the cone, it's like a biscuit" said Joy as she laughed as she got chocolate ice cream all over her mouth and on the tip of her nose.

"I also like the cone my baby" said Natasha as she laughed, she and her baby were very similar.

Natasha looked at her hand that she was using to hold her own ice cream, she did not want it to melt, so she began to lick it and she smiled, it had the exact same taste that she liked and she remembered, taste was very powerful, it could put your mind at ease, and give you some very good memories.

Dom shook his head, he felt more like a chauffeur with the way Natasha and Joy were talking like he did not exist, he had to admit that he was jealous his princess preferred her mother rather than him, but he could not blame her, children needed their mother.

"Mommy does it taste good??" asked Joy as she watched her mother's reaction curiously.

"Haha my baby it does" said Natasha as she laughed as she looked at Joy.

"Do you want to taste??" asked Natasha and Joy nodded her head.

"Yes I do mommy" said Joy as she smiled.

"Alright" said Natasha as she smiled and she brought her eyes cream to Joy's mouth and Joy took a lick of her ice cream and she shuddered as she tasted the ice cream, and there was a big frown on her face, as if she had just eaten a lemon.

"What do you think my baby??" asked Natasha.

"Judging from your reaction, you did not like it" said Natasha as she laughed as she looked at Joy's face, who was busy wondering if what she had tasted was ice cream at all.

Dom looked through the rear view window and he laughed too, that was his exact reaction when he had tasted Ginger Ice cream, Natasha loved that ice cream flavour and he wondered what was so good about it so one day he finally tasted it, and he was not impressed at all to say the least.

"Mommy it tastes so bad" said Joy as she shook her head, she wondered what her mother saw in that ice cream that she liked so much.

"I do not like it" she said as she licked her own ice cream to try to get rid of the bitter spicy taste that the ginger ice cream had left in her mouth.

"Oh that's alright my baby, people have different choices of taste and flavours" said Natasha as she laughed, she had expected this kind of reaction, it reminded her of Dom's face when he first tried ginger ice cream, it was exactly like Joy's face right now.

It was a mix of disappointment, disbelief and hatred of such an ice cream flavour being created, Joy was just like her father, and Natasha did not know if that was a good thing or a bad thing, but all she knew now was that Joy's face was priceless and all she could do was laugh.

"My baby would you ever try ginger ice cream again??" asked Natasha as she was curious as to what Joy would say.

"No mommy, I will never try it again, I do not like it at all" said Joy as she spoke like an old woman and Natasha laughed.

"You see my princess, I believe it is best that you stay on the normal human side, that consists of humans who like normal ice cream flavours, and not aliens who like weird flavours" said Dom as he laughed.

"Oh very funny" said Natasha as she laughed sarcastically.

"Mommy are you an alien??" asked Joy as she looked at her mother.

"No my baby, do not mind your father who is feeding you nonsense, I am not an alien" said Natasha as she eyed Dom in annoyance and he just shrugged her off.

"I am just someone who likes ginger, that's all" said Natasha as she turned back to look at Joy as she smiled.

"Why do you like ginger mommy??" asked Joy.

"Well it is a long story my dear" said Natasha as she smiled.

"Will you tell me the story mommy??" asked Joy as she wanted to know why her mother liked ginger so much.

"Of course I will my dear, but not now, sometime later, when we are not so busy" said Natasha as she smiled.

"Okay mommy" said Joy as she laughed excitedly as Natasha cleaned her chocolate filled mouth and nose with a tissue as she smiled sadly.

In her last life, she had not paid any attention to her daughter at all, Joy was already ten years old when she died, and she did not like her at all, Joy never wanted to see her at all, and she was on her father's side, and Natasha did not mind at all at that time because she was still so bent on getting Dom to love her, and she regretted that a lot now, which was why she was going to take care of her baby well now.

Natasha finished her ice cream fast, she did not want it to melt and dirty Dom's car.

Dom smiled as he saw his princess who was smiling, he also scoffed, he would never dare eat anything at all in his father or Grandfather's car, and not to eve talk about ice cream, his Grandfather would kill him, he had a strict rule of not eating in his vintage cars, and so did his father.

Dom hated it when his father or Grandfather said that, which was why when he became a father, he made sure that he would not be like his father or grandfather, he would not care if Joy spilt anything in his car, the car could always be cleaned but memories could never be replaced at all.

"My baby you have ice cream all over your face, again" said Natasha as she shook her head and she laughed, Joy looked so cute right now, Natasha was surprised on how Joy did not stain her dress yet.

"The Ice cream is too sweet mommy" said Joy as she laughed as Natasha and Dom laughed along with her.
