Not Mine

Three Months Later.

Today was just like any other Friday afternoon in the estate, the sun was shining, the wind was blowing gently, and the sky was as blue as the ocean, with not a cloud in the sky, but something, or rather say someone was about to change that, as she was heading straight to her house with a great Surprise.

"Alfred, can I please have some more grape juice?" asked Joy as she walked into the kitchen with her little feet as she smiled.

"Of course you can Joy" said Alfred as he smiled, Joy was still in her school uniform, Dom had picked Joy up from school not too long ago, and Joy had eaten her lunch, and she was yet to change out of her uniform, not that Alfred minded at all, he found Joy rather cute in her clean uniform.

"Yayyy, thank you Alfred" said Joy as she smiled as Alfred smiled and he went to the fridge to pour Joy a glass of grape juice.

"So how was school today Joy?" asked Alfred as he smiled at Joy.

"It was very good Alfred, we went out on a trip to the zoo, and I saw many animals" said Joy as she giggled, for the past three months, she had been doing very well in school, in fact, she was doing exceedingly well, and she seemed to have enjoyed school very much.

"Oh that sounds very nice Joy" said Alfred as he smiled and he gave Joy her grape juice.

"Thank you Alfred" said Joy as she smiled and she drank her grape juice.

"You are welcome Joy" said Alfred as he smiled, Joy was also very polite, which was one of the many things he liked about her, she was old enough to be his own granddaughter and he treated her like such.

"So did you see any animals in particular that you liked?" asked Alfred as he smiled.

"Hmmm" said Joy as she seemed to be thinking.

"I really liked the giraffe Alfred, it has a very long neck, like this" said Joy as she giggled, and she raised her hand up to show how long the giraffe's neck that she saw was.

"Oh, that does looked very long" said Alfred as he laughed.

"Yes Alfred, and I also like seeing the tiger, it was orange with black striped, but Clarita said that the tiger was very scary, and then prince laughed at her" said Joy as she laughed.

"Oooh but Tigers are very scary Joy" said Alfred as he laughed.

"Yes I know Alfred, they have very sharp teeth" said Joy as she giggled.

"Oh you know, I have an idea Joy" said Alfred as he smiled.

"What is your idea Alfred?" asked Joy as she laughed.

"Well how about you invite Clarita, Leon and Prince over for a playdate?" asked Alfred as he smiled, he had heard a lot about those three children from Joy, they seemed to be her very best friends.

"Hmm I don't know Alfred" said Joy as she gave Alfred her glass.

"I need to ask my mommy first, and then my daddy" said Joy as she seemed to be thinking.

"And then Clarita needs to ask her own mommy and daddy, and Prince and Leon need to ask they mommy and daddy too" said Joy.

"Well that is true, but I am sure the Madam would say yes" said Alfred as he washed Joy's glass.

"Speaking of which, where is the Young Master?" asked Alfred as he had not seen Dom the entire afternoon.

"Oh well my daddy said that he had some work to do, so he said he was going to his office, and that when he was done, he would play with me later" said Joy as she smiled.

"Oh alright then" said Alfred as he smiled, one more thing he had noticed about Joy since she had started going to school was that she had become very vocal, she would talk more and more and express her feelings, he was sure that was because of the fact that she spent more time with her peers, with children her age, and they often spoke among each other.

And well Alfred did not even need to ask of where Natasha had went to, well because it was now normal for her to go out anyway, and at any time, she was like a surprise, she always came from one place or the other, and it was from wherever she went that she would go and pick up Joy from school when she could.

"Alfred, do you know where my mommy is?" asked Joy as she was getting curious, she had only seen Natasha at breakfast, and she did not even come and pick her up at school today.

"Ahh well…" said Alfred as he did not know what to say, he too had no idea at all of where Natasha was.

"Well Joy…" said Alfred as he was about to come up with some sort of excuse, until a great noise could be heard all the way from outside and it made Joy turn around.

"Alfred, what was that??" asked Joy as she was a bit startled.

"I do not know Joy, it sounded like a car horn" said Alfred as he too was shocked.

"There it is again" said Joy as she heard the sound once more.

"Alright then, let's go and check what all the noise is about" said Alfred.

"Okay Alfred" said Joy as she ran to hold Alfred's hand.

Meanwhile outside.

"*Hoot* *Hoot* *Hoot*" came the sound of a car horn as it drove into the driveway and the car parked right beside Dom's black car.

"*Hoot*, *Hoot*, *Hoot*" cam the sound once again as the driver switched off the car and she came out.

"Just who in the world is that??" asked Alfred as he and Joy came out of the house and they saw a strange car parked in the driveway.

"Mommy!!!" said Joy as her eyes lit up as the driver came out of the car and she smiled, it was none other than Natasha.

"My baby!!" said Natasha as she smiled with open arms at Joy.

"Mommy" called Joy as Natasha carried her and ticked her and she giggled.

"Yes my baby, did you miss me?" asked Natasha as she smiled.

"Mhmm, yes mommy I did miss you" said Joy as she nodded her head and she smiled, and Natasha smiled with her brown eyes glimmering.

"Madam??" asked Alfred as he could not believe what was going on now?? He had thought that it was some sort of hooligan that had parked in their driveway and began to make unnecessary noise in the quiet estate.

"Good Afternoon Alfred" said Natasha as she smiled at him.

"Good Afternoon Madam" said Alfred as he was still puzzled on what was going on.

"Mommy is that car yours?" asked Joy as she pointed to the grey car.

"Yes my baby, it is, I just bought it" said Natasha as she laughed.

"Do you like it??" asked Natasha as she smiled.

"Yes Mommy, I like it, it's very new and shiny" said Joy as she smiled and she waved to herself in the reflection of the mirror.

"Madam you bought a car??" asked Alfred as he could not understand anything at all.

"Mhmm" said Natasha as she looked at Alfred and she laughed.

"My baby, do you want to check out my new car?" asked Natasha.

"Yes I do mommy" said Joy as she sounded excited.

"Alright my baby, you can go and check it, but just be careful" said Natasha as she laughed and she put Joy down.

"Okay Mommy, I will be careful" said Joy as she laughed and she opened the back door of the car and she went inside as she looked at the black leather seats.

"Madam why did you buy a car?" asked Alfred as he was still shocked.

"Well because I need it Alfred" said Natasha as she smiled, she did need a car, she was tired of always using taxis to get everywhere that she needed to go.

"But Madam, there are more than enough cars at your disposal" said Alfred as he could not understand at all.

"Those cars are not mine" said Natasha as her eyes went cold and Alfred was scared for a second, before Natasha's eyes went back to normal.

"Besides, with my new car, I will be able to take Joy to school and pick her up again myself" said Natasha as she smiled at Alfred.

"Well yes, that is true Madam" said Alfred.

"But I do not think that the Young Master would agree to this" said Alfred.

"Let him think whatever he wants, I do not need his approval" said Natasha as she frowned.

"Alright Madam" said Alfred as he was getting scared.

"Madam, I will be on my way now, I need to tend to something in the north wing" said Alfred.

"Alright Alfred, I will see you later" said Natasha as she smiled.

"See you Madam" said Alfred as he smiled and he walked away.

"Mommy, your new car is so cool, just like daddy's car" said Joy as she laughed and she came out of Natasha's car.

"I am glad that you think so my baby, because on Monday, I am going to take you to school" said Natasha as she smiled.

"Yayyyy" said Joy as she was excited and Natasha laughed.

"Alright my baby, let's get you all out of your school uniform" said Natasha as she smiled and Joy ran to hold her hand.

"Okay mommy" said Joy as she giggled and she held Natasha's hand.

"Have you eaten my baby?" asked Natasha.

"Yes, I have mommy" said Joy as she laughed as she and Natasha walked into the house.
