James' Choice

Hill rang Natasha's bell and waited for her to answer. Then Hill remembered that the doorbell doesn't work, she rolled her eyes and knocked on the door.

N: I'm coming!

Natasha left the bathroom brushing her teeth, she went to the living room, and opened the door for Hill.

Natasha looked at James and Sarah, pushing each other to come in and hug her, all in silence.

Natasha frowned and watched them both run to the couch and sit still.

Natasha looked at Maria Hill.

N: What did you do with them?

H: Hm, it's a game.

J: YOU LOST!

Sarah: You lost! You lost!

Natasha looked at the two confused. Hill rolled her eyes.

H: Silence game, it works. You should use with them Always.

Sarah: Mama, can Maria stay with us?

H: No.

N: If she wants to...

H: I don't.

N: Oh come on, Hill, they like you.

Natasha smirked sarcastically.

J: Yeah! Stay, Maria!!

H: Nope! I'm going, delivery done. Don't call me anymore.

Natasha laughed and closed the door. Natasha looked at James and Sarah and gestured for the two of them to wait. Natasha went into the bathroom to rinse her mouth and heard Sarah scream. Natasha came back into the living room and saw Sarah clutching the kitten and he licking her face.

Sarah: Kitty!!!

J: Is he yours now, Mom?

N: No.

J: But he has even a bed now.

N: Just a sheet because it was cold.

Sarah: I love you so much, kitten.

N: Love? You only saw him once.

Sarah: I love him! I love, I love, I love him too much.

J: Let him stay, Mom.

N: Even if I don't let him, he comes in here anyway. But I won't take care of him and I won't spend a penny with him also.

J: We will take care of him! Can we stay with him then?

Natasha nodded. James jumped and ran to Natasha hugging her waist. James went back to Sarah and stroked the cat's head.

N: James?

J: Yes?

N: How is your father?

James shrugged, indicating he didn't know. Sarah looked at Natasha.

Sarah: Daddy is sad. I don't like it when Daddy is sad.

Natasha frowned.

N: Why is he sad?

Sarah: I think he wanted you there.

J: I want you there too.

N: That's it? I've been gone a while, it can't be about me anymore...
