The next morning, Aviva awoke to find Chris at her side, snoring softly. "Chris?" "Huh? Oh, good morning Aviva." "Hey Chris?" "Yea?" She grabbed his head, and kissed him. When she released him from her kiss, he blushed bright red. At that moment, Joey came through the door. "Good morning mommy and daddy." "Good morning Joey." Chris picked up Joey, and Aviva ruffled Joey's hair and smiled. "Mommy, are you going to go to work today?" "Yes Joey." "Aww... Come on!" "What? You know I have to go to work." "Oh, ok." She had already dressed, and was heading for the door. "Alright,bye Aviva." He kissed her on the cheek, and she left, "wait." "Yes?" he threw her his car keys and smiled. "Take my car." "Oh, thanks." "Your welcome." When she left, Chris closed the door, and smiled at Joey. "As my understanding, you are in vacation, right?" "Yes dad." "Cool. Want me to make you breakfast?" "Sure!"
After breakfast, Chris smiled at Joey. "So...um, son?" "Yeah daddy?" "Well, I was wondering if you maybe wanted to go to this museum. I think you'd like it. You are alot like Aviva." "In what form of way am I alot like mom, dear father?" "Well, I've been observing you, and well, I see you really love math, science, and technology. Aviva loves all of that stuff." "Either way, what is the museum about?" "It's about science. A science museum." "Cool! I'd love to go!"
That night, they were all eating dinner, and were listening to Joey talk and talk about his visit to the science museum, and how Chris took him. "Sounds nice Joey." He had stopped to take a breath, and Aviva stopped him there. "Mommy?" "Yea?" "When are you gonna go on at least a week off from work? I want to be around you and daddy more." "That does sound nice Joey but I have to work, and so will your father starting Monday." "Yup. Plus, you have school, you need to go to school." "Maybe summer squirt." "Summer! That's like a whole 6 months from now!" "Joey." Chris spoke in that "father" tone of voice. "Oops, sorry bout that." "It's ok son."
That night, Chris went to tuck Joey in. "Good night son." "Good night daddy." He tucked him in, and went to his bedroom, where Aviva was, reading a book. He laid down, and Aviva smiled. "First day of officially being a father got you tired?" "Not the least bit. It feels good to finally be noticed and appreciated." Aviva chuckled, and set her book down. "Good night Chris." "Bonne nuit Aviva." Aviva smiled, and turned off the light. She snuggled near Chris, and Chris didn't mind it the least bit. Instead, he wrapped his arms around her, and pulled the cover tightly over both of them. "I love you." "I love you too Chris." She put her head on his chest, and kissed him softly.
