Kate and Mia stayed for dinner later that day. Joey treated them with the special two pizzas and they ate it at the counter. The duck and the chick started to walk out of Joey's room and around the apartment. ''Mommy, look, a duck!'' Mia cried. Kate was puzzled at the fact that he was two farm animals in his apartment. ''I didn't quite remember you having a chick and a duck'' Kate said to him. ''That's because I always keep them in a room whenever I have company over'' Joey said.

''And they let you keep them?'' she asked. ''No'' replied Joey, "But Chandler and I always kept a secret from the rest of the building, so don't tell anyone''. ''You're secret is with me'' Kate chuckled.

Later, Mia fell asleep and Kate put her in Rachel's old room. After she put her to bed, Kate talked with him in the kitchen after he finished washing the dishes. "Was that the reason why you guys came here?"Joey asked.

"Yes" Kate nodded her head, ''I wanted for Mia to know sooner''.

''I think you guys should live here" he said.

''Really?''

"Yeah. I want to be a part of Mia's life and I promise I'll do anything to take of both you and Mia''

Kate smiled at his response. ''Ok'' she said with a light chuckle. Joey pulled in Kate for an embrace, both of them feeling the emotions of excitement.


The next day, Joey went to Monica's apartment and told everyone about Kate and Mia. They were a bit shocked hearing the news. "You have a daughter?" Rachel asked. "Yeah,well, She didn't tell me because she was leaving for LA" Joey explained. "Isn't Kate the actress you hooked up with?'' Chandler asked. "Yeah" replied Joey, "She came here all the way from LA, But we've decided that she and Mia should move here".

"And did she say yes?" Monica asked.

"Yeah, she said yes"

"Joey, that's great!" said Phoebe, "When is she moving in?''

"Next week. You guys will love her"

"Does Mia wipe her hands on things?" asked Monica.

"No,not exactly"

"Good" Monica firmly replied.


The next week, Kate officially moved from LA to New York. Joey loved Mia. He loved playing games with her and tickling her. Mia started to warm up to Joey and accepted that he was her father. They had Chinese food as their first dinner together living there. Then, later that night, they the three of them snuggled on he barcalounger and watched the Disney movies Joey brought for Mia, one of them being Tarzan.

As the movie ended, Joey found that Mia was asleep while snuggled in his right arm. She woke up slightly as Joey carefully picked her up and carried her to her now-bedroom. He walked into her room and carefully put her in bed. He smiled as her wavy brown hair spread across the pillow like sun rays while she sucked on her thumb. As he begin to leave the room, she spoke up. "I love you, daddy" she said quietly. Those three words hit him like a ton of bricks. He kissed her temple and stroked her hair. "I love you too, sweetheart" he whispered in her ear. Kate smiled as she looked on at the father and daughter.
