I miss you

"Hello Mommy" said Joy as she put Dom's phone to her ear.

"Hello my baby, how are you?" asked Natasha as she smiled, she was working on her laptop right now, and she needed the cute distraction.

"Mommy, I am good, but I miss you" said Joy as she looked at her Father with her big doe eyes, he was working in his office and she was there with him.

"Aww my baby, I miss you too, so much, more than you know" said Natasha as she smiled and Joy smiled.

"You know what baby, I have a surprise for you" said Natasha as she smiled.

"What is it mommy?" asked Joy as she was now excited.

"Well my baby, I am coming back home very soon" said Natasha as she smiled.

"Really Mommy?" asked Joy in surprise as she looked at her daddy, he was frowning at something he saw on his laptop screen.

"Yes my Baby, I will be back home sooner than you know, and I can't wait to kiss you, and hug you, and carry you my baby" said Natasha as she smiled.

"I can't wait also mommy" said Joy as she giggled.

"Oh my baby, I miss you" said Natasha once again.

"Baby, please give the phone to your daddy" said Natasha.

"Okay mommy" said Joy as she got down from the couch and she walked to Joy.

"I love you my baby" said Natasha as she smiled.

"I love you too mommy" said Joy as she smiled and she gave Dom's phone back to him as he did not take his eyes off his screen, something did not sit well with him over here.

"Hello" said Dom as he put the phone to his ear.

"Hello" said Natasha as Dom was surprised, this was a first, she did not hang up on him.

Dom did not know what to say, there was some silence, but he knew that if Natasha stayed on the call, then she probably had something to say to him.

"How are you?" asked Dom as he managed to say that, he expected her not to reply, but to his surprise she did.

"Good" replied Natasha.

"That's good to know" said Dom as he wondered if she was feeling okay, or maybe she finally decided to just talk to him for once, in that case, he was relieved that she finally decided to act like an adult and speak to him.

"When are you coming back?" asked Dom as he looked at Joy as she was playing with the model cars in his office.

"Tomorrow" replied Natasha, and Dom was surprised, but he was also relieved that she had finally decided to come back home.

"Oh I see…" said Dom as he did not want to sound like he was looking forward to her returning home.

"Yes" said Natasha as she had made up her mind, once she met Romanoff for the last time, she would go back home, there was nothing here for her at all, Romanoff refused to tell her the truth that she needed to know, and she was tired of that.

In fact, right now, Natasha was looking at the details of her flight back home, she could not wait to be back home with her baby.

"Alright then" said Dom.

"When is your flight?" asked Dom, so maybe he and Joy could go pick her up at the airport.

"When I'm back, I will call you" said Natasha.

"Alright then" said Dom as he knew that it was worth a try.

"What is Joy having for dinner tonight?" asked Natasha.

"I don't know, I think its Pasta, I will ask Alfred" said Dom.

"Alright, don't let her eat something sweet for desert, she gets a tummy ache when she eats pasta and then something sweet afterwards" said Natasha.

"Alright, noted, I won't let her have something sweet" said Dom.

"But what can she have for desert then? You know how much she loves sweet things" said Dom as Natasha just shook her head, she really hoped that Dom had not let Joy develop even more of a sweet tooth than she already had, while she was only gone for a few days.

"She can have some lemon yoghurt, just to make sure she doesn't get a tummy ache" said Natasha.

"Alright then" said Dom as of course Natasha had the answer to everything when it came to Joy .

"Hmm, well I have to go now" said Natasha as she was sure that this was more than enough of talking to Dom.

"Alright" said Dom as Natasha ended the call and Dom looked at his phone.

"Daddy, this car is very cool" said Joy as she looked at her father and she showed him a red car that she was playing with.

"Yes Princess it is, just be careful, and stay put, I need to check something very quickly" said Dom as he stood up from his desk and he carried his laptop, he needed Michael to check this out for him.

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

"On second thought, let me just call Michael over here" said Dom as he sat back down and he placed his laptop back on his desk as he dialed Michael's number, he could not leave Joy here all alone.

"Hey Michael, I need you to crosscheck the renovation records that you have with you, I have mine here, and the numbers that I am seeing is alarming" said Dom.

"Alright, wait, send me a screenshot of what you see on your screen, and I will check with mine" said Michael as he was also working on his laptop.

"Alright, give me a moment" said Dom as he put his phone on speaker and he placed his phone on his desk as he worked on his laptop.

"Did you see it yet?" asked Dom.

"I'm checking my email now" said Michael.

"Mhmm, I see it" said Michael as he compared the two images on his screen.

"You're right… this is alarming" said Michael.

"I wonder which one is actually correct" said Dom as he frowned.

"Wait, the dates on the top are different" said Michael.

"I think I know what happened here… someone made the mistake of sending you last months records, the records I have are for this month" said Michael.

"Ahh… I see now" said Dom as he shook his head.

"I wonder where my head is, how could I let this mistake slip by me?" asked Dom.

"Happens to the best of us Dom" said Michael as he laughed.

"Don't beat yourself up too much, anyway, let me send you the correct files" said Michael.

"Mhmm, thank you Michael" said Dom.

"Anytime" said Michael as he chuckled.

"Hello Uncle Michael" said Joy as she giggled and she heard Michael's voice.

"Hello Princess, I didn't know that you were there" said Michael as he heard Joy's cute little voice in the background and Joy giggled.

"How are you princess?" asked Michael.

"Very good Uncle" said Joy as she giggled.

"That's great princess, well I have to go now, I need to finish working on this code" said Michael as he smiled.

"Okay Bye" said Joy as she giggled.

"Bye Princess" said Michael with a smile as he ended the call.

"Well princess, let's go eat lunch now, before I have to go back to the office" said Dom.

"Okay daddy" said Joy as she giggled.

…

Natasha sighed as she looked through her suitcase, she was all packed and ready to go, once she saw Romanoff today, that would be the end of this whole thing and she would return home, she just had one more thing to ask him, and if he did not give her a valid answer, then she would just leave.

Natasha checked her phone, Romanoff had told her to meet him at some park that was close to here, so Natasha decided to just walk there, she left her gun, simply because she was sure that it was a public place.

Natasha closed up her suitcase and she left it on her bed as she walked to the door and she opened it and she closed it behind her.

…

Natasha was sitting down on the bench in the park, she could see little children playing, it made her smile as she thought about her own baby.

Natasha was snapped out of her thoughts as she felt a heavy presence sit right next to her as she wanted to turn and look at him, but she was stopped before she could.

"Don't look at me, just stare straight ahead" said Romanoff.

"Why?" asked Natasha.

"Just a precaution" said Romanoff as Natasha did not listen to him at all and she turned to look at him as she glared at him.

"You do not listen do you?" asked Romanoff.

"I don't listen to unreasonable requests" said Natasha as Romanoff chuckled.

"I do agree with you" said Romanoff as he laughed.

"Why did you cancel yesterday?" asked Natasha as she looked at him.

"I had some work to do" said Romanoff as that was part of it, and also because he was sure that he was being followed, he did not want them to get to know about Natasha, not at all, which was why he decided for them to meet in a public place, with many people.

"I doubt that" said Natasha as she scoffed.

"Well that is up to you devockha (girl)" said Romanoff.

"You say that those people are dangerous, and that you want to protect me, and hence you watched me from the shadows, but how come you talk to me now?" asked Natasha.

"Are you not a danger for me as well?" asked Natasha.

"I will never be a danger for you Natasha, believe me" said Romanoff.

"Hmm" said Natasha as she scoffed.

"Are you going to tell me who you work for or not?" asked Natasha.

"Will you go home if I do?" asked Romanoff as she and Romanoff were in a stare off, they both knew that neither one of them would budge.

"No" said Natasha.

"And that is my answer as well" said Romanoff as he smiled and Natasha scoffed.

"That is my final answer, take it or leave it, go back home devochka (girl), you are better of safer there" said Romanoff as he stood up.

"Fine" said Natasha as Romanoff was about to walk away when he suddenly stopped and he turned around.

"You took something from me devochka (girl)" said Romanoff as he looked at Natasha.

"I did not" said Natasha.

"I am sure that your father did not raise you to be a liar" said Romanoff as Natasha scoffed.

"Hand it over" said Romanoff as Natasha reluctantly removed something that looked like a flyer from under her right thigh and Romanoff shook his head.

"Next time, be more careful devochka (girl), or at least deny it till the end" said Romanoff as he smiled.

"I'm not giving it back to you" said Natasha.

"Tell me, are they who you work for?" asked Natasha as she showed him the flyer and Romanoff kept quiet, wondering what sort of trouble he had gotten himself into with this niece of his, who obviously was not going to back down until she got what she wanted.
