Cameron walked over with her and promptly picked up a big set with a breast pump and a big set of bottles of all kinds of sizes.
"Let's get this." He showed it to her with a grin.

“That thing looks like a torture device,” Ava laughs, eyeing the breast pump. It never ceases to surprise her that they’re considered normal when they look insanely painful.
"Well, it works, and most women like it because they don't leak as much," He hummed, collecting a box of bags for the pump.
“I’ll take your word for it.” That’s something she’s never needed to or wanted to know. “Is that all we should get?”
"I bet you will." He only knew it because his ex bitched about it all the time. "Yep, this all seems good. Then we should swing by the post office to mail this off."
“As long as Chris and Mallory like it, right?” She glances down at the items in her arms, hoping that everything is good. “Sounds like a plan.” The shopping trip went a lot smoother than she had expected.
"Yep. Hopefully Mallory will like it." He trotted up to the front and let Ava pay for it this time as he asked for it to be gift wrapped. He took the box once everything was wrapped.
Pulling out her wallet, she searched through it until she finds some cash. She quietly pays the person behind the counter. After this they’ll have to hit the post office and then they can head back to the house.
Cameron thanked the person when they left, giving the etiquette needed. He led her outside with soft hums, walking with a more relaxed pace. Eventually, after a bit of walking, they passed his house and to the post office nearby.
Ava follows him out of the store, feeling less tense than before. “How long do you think it’ll take for these to arrive?” Hopefully it won’t be too late for the baby shower.
"I'm not sure," Cameron admitted to her. "I bet it'll get there on time, though, don't worry." He trotted into the post office and asked for some stamps to the mansion address.
Ava nods her head as she enters the post office. “Can we talk once get back to the house?” Things might go a little smoother if she gives him a heads up that they’re going to be having an important talk.
Cameron glanced at her as he filled out the slip he was given when the attendant walked away. "Sure. We can." He nodded a little and went back to filling it out and sticking it onto the box.
Ava glances over his shoulder, checking to make sure that all of the information is correct. Everything seems to be in order so she’s really hoping it’ll arrive on time.
Cameron gestured for her to pay the stamps bill and the shipping stuff, then slid it over to a second person who appeared. He thanked them and waited for her.
Ava takes out some money and hands it over to the person waiting for it. With that done, she turns to face Cameron. “Ready to go?” She’s ready to see the pups.
"Yep, I'm ready when you are," He hummed softly, opening the door for her. He hummed a soft tune as he followed behind her back home, where they were greeted by the excited dogs.
With a quiet thank you, she steps out of the building and starts to head back to the house. “Moji slatki mali anđeli! Jeste li bili dobri za svog djeda?” She coos and she showers all of the dogs with love.
Cameron greeted his dad, who was relaxing on the couch in the family room, his hair all fluffed up. He asked if he and the dogs did okay, and he launched off in an explanation of what they all did together. It sounded like a lot of fun.
Ava snuggles all of the dogs, telling them how much she missed them and how much she loves them. Once they’ve all been loved on, she tunes into the conversation between Cameron and his dad. She’s thrilled to learn that the dogs did good.
Cameron sat next to his dad and stretched his arms, and immediately Rose came bumbling onto his lap sniffing at the bag full of the bakery stuff. Her little tail wagged wildly as Cameron laughed and pulled out a bit of a sweet and gave it to her.
Ava moves the bag to the crook of her arm in favor of scooping Kreja up like a baby. “You’re a momma’s boy, aren’t you?” Pressing a few kisses to his face, she realizes how crazy it is that she missed the dogs so much and she was only gone for a little while. She heads into the living room and sits on the couch, still cradling her pup.
Cameron chuckled at her, relaxing as Zore hopped up on his lap too, sniffing for her own little piece of sweet. He gave her a small bit and snuggled his pair of pups, smiling.
"You guys are so cute," He cooed softly, stroking their heads and gently kissing their noses.
Ava smiles at the puppies, shifting Kreja around so she can have a free hand. “Look what we got you.” Pulling out the toys from the bag, she passed them out to the dogs. She yelps when Kreja launches himself off of her lap and grabs the toy. “So rude.” With a roll of her eyes, she snatches the toy from him and tosses it across the room. “Hey, can we talk now?” She asks Cameron quietly.
Cameron pulled out the puppies' toys and tossed them for them to catch, watching Rose fling after the squirrel and sniff at it, as Zore meandered over close to the third toy. He glanced at her when she whispered to him and nodded, standing up and going upstairs, excusing himself with the excuse of dropping off his boots, which he still needed to do.
Ava watches the puppies for a moment longer before she stands up, putting the bag back on her arm. With a quiet sigh, she heads up the stairs and enters the bedroom. “So I um….I got an email earlier…..from my father,” She begins, chewing nervously on her lower lip.
Cameron sat on his bed and untied his boots, pulling on the laces to loosen them up so he could get them off. By the time she joined him, he had them off.
"An email? What about?" He prompted gently, his eyes carefully emotionless.
“He’s going to retire once the babies are born.” Ava decides to just spit it out. It came as a big surprise since she knows that he hadn’t wanted to retire for several more years. This means that she’s stuck taking over whether she wants to or not. She’s not looking forward to this in the slightest. It’s a lot more work and it’s a lot more dangerous.
"Shiiiit…" Cameron drawled, standing up slowly. "We can't take it over, Ava. We're in a whole different country! We're wanted criminals." He also didn't want Ava going deeper into this type of dangerous work. He was worried enough about her.
“Yeah, my point exactly.” Ava brushes a few strands of hair out of her face with a sigh. “There’s really not much I can do about it but I’m trying to talk him out of it.” It’s not like she wants to do this but she has no choice. “He gets what he wants when the twins are born. One to take over the company and one to take over everything else. Those kids are his safety net which means he can retire and relax while Chris and I take over.”
