"Aw Tiana Benny's the sweetest little thing ever!"
Linda cooed as she gently tickled the little baby boy in her sister's arms making him babble. Tiana Webber arrived at the Flynn-Fletcher home for a visit with her newborn son Ben Junior also called "Benny". Their nephews and niece were also in the living room pampering, gathering and fussing over the baby. Joey however only sat on the sofa farther from the fuss. Not out of jealousy but more on the fact that he neither knew about babies so well nor, know that Benny was his own cousin. In fact, Benny was the first cousin Joey ever met… (this was before Ferb's cousins came about)
Seeing the youngest Flynn child that was once the baby she used to sit for before Benny was born, Tiana ushered Joey to come over before wrapping her arms around him. "Oh Joey…why did you have to grow up so fast?" Tiana spoke sweetly to the toddler. "You were much smaller when you were 3," she then ruffled his hair and noticed his metallic right leg before raising an eyebrow in question. "Linda?" She asked her older sister. "Since when and how did Joey get an artificial limb?" Linda turned to her sister and then to her older sons Phineas and Ferb. The woman smiled at her sister. "Oh, Joey was one of the luckiest little brothers whose older siblings loved and cared so much for them…Phineas and Ferb made that for him Tia. I can't say how but really, they did build that for him." Hearing his mother explain, Phineas and Ferb came over to assist. "Oh we did build it aunt Tiana!" Phineas grinned. "Brothers always have each other's backs after all!"
"Aww… you really do care for him!" Tiana clasped her hands together. "Joey's too special to be left steadfast forever," she then started planting many kisses all over the toddler despite his struggling attempts. "Aunt Tiana! STOP!" Joey cried inbetween laughter. "Oh no I won't!" Tiana said jokingly as she continued to tickle him. "I missed having these tickle fights!" Joey continued to laugh until Candace came with a crying Benny in her arms while pinching her nose with one hand. "Aunt Tiana? I think Benny's needs a diddy change!" Tiana nodded at her niece and held her baby. "Alright.. time to change mister!" She joked before going upstairs to get the baby changed with Linda and Candace following suit. Ferb eventually went after them and only Phineas and Joey were left behind.
Joey was even more curious. He then decided to get some answers from his brother. "Big brother?" Joey tugged at Phineas' white and orange striped shirt. "What's aunt Tiana doing with the baby?" "She's giving him a fresh change of diaper lil bro," Phineas replied casually and noticed the look of curiosity on his brother's face. "Um… there's something else you want to know about is there?" Surprisingly, Joey gave an instant nod. "Yes big brother! I wanna know where aunt Tiana got her baby from!" Phineas gasped and laid a hand on his chest panting in horror. Oh no… please don't tell me it's time for "the talk"! Phineas frantically cried in his mind. I can't do it! I CAN'T DO IT! Sensing his older brother's distress, Joey immediately felt concerned. "I'm sorry I asked that big brother!" The toddler cried. "I just want to know where the baby comes from because aunt Tiana, mommy and Candace like it so much! It looks like a really cool toy to have big brother!" Phineas' eyes widened in shock as Linda and the other three came downstairs managing to hear Joey's "little statement". Linda laughed and sat between the two, laying one hand on a shocked Phineas and the other on Joey. "Joey sweetie," Linda started. "A baby is not a toy, it is actually a person like we are," Joey's eyes widened. "But he's so small!" Tiana chuckled and sided with her sister. "He is for now, but he will be big and be able to play with ou one day!" Joey awed in understanding and snuggled against his mother. "I can't wait for that to happen aunt Tiana…" he yawned and closed his eyes before continuing. "In fact, I wish we have a baby too so we can take care of him…" Similiar to how Phineas reacted, Linda and Tiana exchanged worried glances. "Errr…" Tiana stuttered only to be cut off by Linda. "He's too young to know about this thing Tia…I'll only tell him once his curiosity hormone rise to a higher level." "But mom! What if he really wants to know now?" Phineas protested. Linda smiled before kissing her youngest's cheek. "Then your father and I will tell him in the simplest and most safest way as possible,"
