Chapter Seven

Cassandra would be four in a week and Joey was planning a Birthday Party for her, but he really didn't know what to do, so he asked his dad to help him and the first thing Greg said "well you have to know where the party is going to be and then you need to send out invitations to whom ever you're going to invite."

Joey told his dad that he'd like to have it at the park because it was a big place. "Alright, then you have to decide what you're going to have for the guests to eat and drink and either make or order the cake and then buy enough paper plates, cup, plastic utensils and napkins, then maybe have a game or two to play." Greg said.

The look on his son's face made him laugh. "That's a lot of stuff to have just for a little kids party isn't it?" Joey said. So then Joey said "alright I'll go to the store and get the invitations and Yugi will help me make them out because he knows everyone's addresses and while we are there I'll pick up the paper plates and things."

Greg then asked his son "have you decided what you're going to serve for the guests to eat?" Joey said "would hot dog, hamburgers with buns and mustard and catsup be alright?" Greg laughed and told him "that would be great and I'll see about making a big bowl of your momma's potato salad, or yeah don't forget to order a long flat cake and have something really cute for a little girl on it." Joey looked at Greg and said "I'm tired already and we haven't done anything at all."

Then Joey got serious and told his father "listen I'm going to go talk to Seto again and dad I really want you to let me know what you'd do if I said that I still had feelings for Seto, and I don't mean feeling of friendship?"

Greg sat there and then he said "son, I love you and I really screwed up things before by being a stupid idiot and now just when we are getting back to being father and son I wouldn't do anything to jeopardize that for the world. If you are in fact wanting to have a relationship with him, then I will try to understand but what about Cassandra?"

Joey told his "I have already decided that when we talk and if we do want to get together it will have to be after Cassandra is old enough to understand when we tell her. Until then we can be friends and Seto and Cassandra can get to know each other and we can spend time either here if it's alright with you or at the Manor. I would like for Cassandra to get to know Mokuba and Roland too."

Greg smiled and gave his son a big hug and said "your mother would be as proud of you as I am right now. You have really grown into one hell of a good man and I for one am glad to say that you're my son." Tears filled Joey's eyes as he and his father held each other and then the heard "me hug too?"

They turned around and there stood Cassandra yawning and wiping the sleep from her eyes. They started to laugh and Joey went picked up his little girl and he and grandpa gave her a hug and kissed her and then Greg asked her "want a snack to eat till I fix dinner?" Cassandra smiled at him and said "me do." So he gave both Joey and Cassandra two cookies and a glass of milk and got busy and started fixing dinner.

Joey and Cassandra sat down at the kitchen table and had their snack and when they were done, Joey washed out the glasses and he and his daughter went outside in the back yard and played with the ball until grandpa called and "told them to get cleaned up dinner was ready."

After dinner, Joey called Yugi while Greg watched "Little Mermaid" with Cassandra, and Joey said "Cassandra is going to be four in a week and I was thinking about having a party for her at the park and wondered if you and Yami would help me and dad get the invitations made out because you know everyone's addresses and also help me buy some of the things that we are going to be needing?"

Yugi laughed and told him "you know that we will, how about if we come by tomorrow around eleven and we can go and get the things that you will be needing and your dad could watch your little one while we're gone."

"That would be great and I'll see you two tomorrow and Yug, thanks for being here for us." Yugi said "hey, that's what friends are for."

As Joey hung up the phone he sat there and then he decided that he needed to call and talk to Seto so he dialed the Manor and when Seto picked up the phone Joey said "please could we talk about us tomorrow evening?"

Seto had tears in his eyes because he sounded just like the old Joey use to and Seto said "that would be great, and Joey thanks for wanting to talk." The said good-bye and Joey wiped the tears from his eyes and went back to the living room to watch the rest of the movie with his daughter and dad.
