1 year later..
Ed was working on an invention of his own, smouldering a piece of metal onto the the front space of the machine. He nearly dropped his blow torch on his foot as he heard a loud screech. He pulled up his mask and looked around frantically.
"Edna?! Don't worry dear, I'm coming!" He put down his blow torch and ran in the direction of his trailer.
He slid the door open faster than it was intended and pulled out a spare monkey wrench in his pocket. Holding it up like a weapon.
"Where are they Edna?! I won't let em' hurt you!" Ed said, circling the room with his wrench stretched out in front of him. He heard her chuckle and whipped around.
She was sitting on a chair, holding a small child in her arms and smiling huge.
She looked up at her husband,"Oh Ed! Come see! Jay said his first words!"
Ed dropped his wrench immediately and ran over to his wife. Ignoring the dent he most likely made in the floor. He hovered over the child who was happily smiling at the praise he was getting.
"Go on dear, say it again for Daddy," Edna encouraged the little one.
Jay muttered and struggled to get the word out, but soon it came to him and he spoke it loud and clear.
"Walkah!" He exclaimed with excitement, waving his arms anywhere they could reach,"Walkah Walkah Walkah!"
"What's he saying dear?" Ed asked, unsure if what his son was saying was a real word.
"Oh, It's our surname Ed! It's saying it a little off, but he's trying and I'm so proud of him!"
Edna lifted the child up above her head as he continued to say his new vocabulary word over and over.
"Oh of course it is! By Golly the boy learns fast, doesn't he?" Ed exclaimed, smiling happily up at the ecstatic child.
"He sure is! Our little boy grows up so fast!" Edna cheered, holding him close to her again.
"Can't believe it's been a year since he was left on our doorstep. Oh, Golly Edna. We don't even know the boys birthday!" Ed realized, looking at the boy who didn't know or care what the grown ups were saying it seemed. He just kept playing with his mother's hand.
"Oh goodness! You're right dear! Well, I guess it will just have ta' be the day we found him," Edna decided, looking over at her husband.
"Then it's settled. Today is Jay's birthday. We need to celebrate!" Ed exclaimed running from the trailer without another word.
Edna laughed softly, looking down at Jay who had somehow drifted off to sleep.
"Happy Birthday, Jay."

"Dad! Mom! Wake up already, I'm gonna be late for school!" A young boy exclaimed, shaking awake his sleeping parents.
The father groaned and looked over at his son with a tired expression.
"Is it that time already?" The father asked, wishing he could go back to bed but knew he couldn't.
"Yep! Come on Dad! I already got dressed and everything!" Jay said, jumping around where he stood.
Ed sat up in his bed and looked his son up and down. He was wearing a worn out pair of shorts. Showing his cuts and colorful bandages on his legs. His long sleeved polo shirt was backwards, the tag sticking up against his neck. His hair looked like it went through a hurricane and back. The father chuckled and sighed, standing up and noticing he was still in his overalls. He led his son back to his small room outside the trailer.
Pulling off his shirt and turning it around the right way, and attempting to comb down his hair. Edna came out and took over that job while the father got his shoes on. A half an hour later Ed was lifting Jay into the back of the large outlandish car that looked to be made of spare parts. Which it was.
Ed scooted over to what you might call the driver's seat. And Edna jumped into the passengers. Jay bounced in his seat, unable to control his energy.
"Go go go! We're gonna be late!" Jay cried, grabbing onto the back of the front seats.
Ed chuckled and looked back at his ecstatic son,"we will son, a-as soon as you get your seat belt on. Remember, safety first!"
Jay jumped backwards into his seat and pulled the long strip next to him over his lap and into a buckle on the other side.
"Okay, I did it! Now let's go!" Jay exclaimed, struggling to contain his excitement.
Ed laughed again and faced forward,"okay, we're going! Off to ninjago city!" He pulled a lever back that must've been the shift because as he pressed the pedal the car lurched backwards. It almost hit a pile of junk,"oops! Hold on, I got it."
He straightened it back up, making it go forward this time and out of a large archway with neon lights hanging over, pronouncing the names 'Ed and Edna'. The car made it to a dirt path, turning left onto it. The giant skyscrapers of their destination towering in the distance.
