Chris walked outside, and smiled at Aviva. "Hey, Aviva, want to go for an ice cream?" "Sure." He put his mouth to hers quickly and stole a kiss. Aviva smiled, and Chris grabbed her hand. They walked for a while, and when they bought their ice cream, they went for a walk. Chris ate some ice cream, and turned to talk to Aviva. "So, you like it here?" "Yup. By the way, you have ice cream on your face." "Where?" "Here." She got a napkin from her pocket, and wiped it off his nose. "Thanks." "Your welcome." "Aviva?" "Yea?" "Well, the reason I wanted to go out with you is that I wanted to talk to you about something." "What?" "Well, I was wondering if icouldstaywithyoujoeyandyourdad." "What?" "Can I stay with you guys? I already have a job at my dad's factory, and well, I decided to quit the crew." "Why? You love biology." "Well yea, but, things have been different since you left. I-I am not treated as well as I did before. They call me crybaby." "Why?" "I-I cry all the time because you left." "Y-You do?" "Yes. I don't want to be treated like crap anymore. I'm worthless to them." "Sure Chris. You can stay with us as long as you want." "I was wondering if maybe I could actually be the father of Joey." "You are Chris. Plus, you're my husband. You asked me to marry you, and we did." "Thanks Aviva. You're the best." "I love you Chris." "I love you Aviva." They walked home, and she opened the door. "Dad?" "Yea mi'ha?" "I was wondering if maybe Chris could stay with us. He says that he wants to be close to his son, me, and you." "You do?" "Yes, I do." "Then you're welcome to stay here. As long as-" "I have a job. I will work at my dad's factory." "What does your dad do?" "He doesn't do. It's his factory. He told me that in about 2 years, he will retire, and since I am the only one in my family who wants to work in it, he wants to give it to me." "Really? What is the factory's name?" "Kratt Harmonica Factory." "Really?" "Yup. The harmonicas sell well, though, I'm not exactly rich. My dad tends to give half the money to charity." "What charity?" "Dad! Stop asking Chris so many questions!" "No, its ok Aviva. It's good that the other half of the family get to know about the family business. Maybe one day Joey'll take up after his dad." "What? What did I do? What am I accused of?" He fixed his glasses, and looked at Chris. "Nothing son." "Oh, ok." "He resumed doing his homework, and Chris walked over to him. "Whatcha doin'?" "Homework, why?" "What grade are you in?" "2nd. Why?" "Oh. Just curious." "Uh huh. Sure." He said not looking away from his paper.
He walked back to Aviva, and she nudged him with her elbow. "What?" "Are you gonna tell him? Or should I?" "About what?" "You know what I mean. About, you living with us now." "Um how bout we both tell him." "Ok." They walked over to Joey, who was reading a book. "Um, Joey?" "Yes mom and dad?" "We were wondering if it would be ok with you if your dad would stay with us." "Would it!" He picked up Joey, and Joey hugged Chris. "Yes! Yes I do want daddy to stay with us!" "Um, son, I was wondering if maybe you wanted to go visit my dad at the factory in going to work in. It's been in my family for years, and you'll take it up someday." "Can I mommy? Can I go to daddy's factory?" "Sure you can." "Would you like to go Aviva?" "Ok Chris." They followed him to his car, and entered. They drove for a couple of minutes, and then they reached Kratt Harmonica Factory. "Come in." He led them to an office, and entered. "Hey dad!" "Hey son! Is this my little grandson? Hi Aviva!" "Hey Mr. Kratt." "Hi grandpa!" "What's your name little guy?" "Joey. Joey Dipper Kratt." "Oh yea, I remember Chris telling me about you." He stood up from his desk, and smiled. He looked alot like Chris, only taller, and with smooth and combed white hair.
"Want me to show you around? I really don't have much to do. Plus, Chris needs to learn every place here, because soon he'll take up and become the head boss and owner of Kratt Harmonica Factory." He ruffled Chris' hair, and Aviva smiled. "Sure." Aviva looked at Chris as she talked. He grabbed Aviva's hand, and Joey walked right next to Chris and Aviva. They walked for a while, and then they stopped at an office. "Chris, this will be your office. As soon as I retire, you'll move to my office. First of all, are you good at math?" "Yes dad." "How many languages do you know how to speak?" "3. English, Spanish, and a little bit of British." "You know how to speak Spanish?" "Yup. Aviva taught me herself." Aviva smiled, and Chris squeezed her hand tighter. "Hey dad, I forgot to tell you I married Aviva." "You did?" both Joey and 's mouth fell open. "What? We are Joey. I thought I told you." "If you did mom, then I must have forgotten." Chris' dad smiled, and slapped him on the back. "Sorry I missed your wedding." "Nah, it's okay . Wasn't a big thing. Just my dad, and well Chris' mom." "Had a mountain of paperwork to do. Otherwise, I wouldn't have missed it. It's my baby son's wedding." Chris blushed and Aviva grabbed his hand. "Either way, it doesn't matter to us." She kissed him on his cheek and Joey made a sick face. "Eww...gross. "Be quiet Joey." Aviva gave him a stern face, and Chris laughed. "Aww,let the kid be Aviva." "Very funny Chris." She punched him playfully on the arm, and laughed. "Well, I have a meeting to get to, and well, I was wondering if maybe you 2 would want to join me. You know, get to know everyone here." "Sure dad." "Hey, Joey?" "Yea grandpa?" "There's a daycare center in the suite 3. There's some kids there about your age, you could make friends with some of them, they're really nice trust me." "Um ok. Sure." He led him to the daycare, and smiled. "Stay here while your parents go with me to the meeting," he handed him a $5 bill and a candy, and smiled," Shhh...don't tell Chris I gave you a candy." "Thanks."
