Ava was now 2 months old, her eyes had turned chocolate brown and her hair has turned jet-black just like Mia which contrasted with Jack, who has blue eyes and blonde hair like Brian. She was laid on the play mat gurgling, dressed in her pink "I'm the little sister" t-shirt with a soft baby skirt. Jack was laid next to her tickling her tummy in his blue "I'm the big brother" t-shirt and jeans. Mia was out in the kitchen preparing a bottle for Ava.

"Mommy, Ava's getting real hungry," Jack called to Mia from the living room.

"I'm coming, Jack," Mia replied picking up the bottle and grabbing a banana out of the fruit basket for Jack. She made her way into the living room, smiling at the sight of her two children laying on the floor together. "Here you go, Jack," Mia said as she passed Jack the banana, then picked up Ava, carrying her over to the couch and began to feed her the bottle. Jack unpeeled the banana and began eating it, watching his mother feed his little sister.

"Can I feed her?" he asked between mouthfuls.

"You helped feed her this morning, Jack. Let me do this bottle as she is settled now, then you can help again on her next one," Mia offered.

"Okay," Jack replied taking another bite of his banana. Just then, the doorbell sounded and Mia sighed knowing she'd have to stop feeding Ava to answer it, but then looked over at Jack who had finished his banana.

"Jack, go to the door and ask who it is. If you know them, you can let them in, okay?" Mia instructed. She didn't like the fact that she was letting her 4.5-year old son answer the door, but she knew Jack was sensible. Jack slipped off the couch and made his way over to the door.

"Who is it?" he asked loudly.

"It's Uncle Roman, little man," Roman replied from the other side.

"Okay, I'll let you in," Jack replied back. Standing on his tiptoes, Jack undid the latch to the door, opening it up and ran into Roman's arms.

"Missed me?" Roman smiled picking Jack up.

"Lots and lots. Did you have fun on your trip?" Jack asked.

Roman went on a trip to New York City for three weeks as he was opening up another nightclub there just like his ones in Barcelona, London, Rio de Janeiro, Tijuana, and even here in Los Angeles. There was also a basketball match between the New York Knicks and the Los Angeles Lakers that he managed to get a VIP pass to.

"I had so much fun, little man. Where's that little sister of yours? I bet she has grown since I last saw her," Roman asked as he placed Jack back on the floor and made his way into the living room.

"Here she is," Jack answered pointing to Ava who was in Mia's arms.

"Wow, she has grown," Roman said as he sat on the couch next to Mia.

"Yeah, she loves her food. That's the only thing so far that she gets from her Daddy," Mia smiled, taking the now empty bottle away from Ava's lips and burping her. "Want a cuddle?"

"Hel-Heck yeah, I've been missing my Ava cuddles," Roman replied, taking hold of her as Mia passed her to him. Jack looked up from where he had sat on the floor playing with his toy cars that were given to him as a baby.

"And your Jack cuddles?" he asked.

"Yeah and my Jack cuddles," Roman said as he smiled at the 4.5-year old. "I love my Jack cuddles".

"I love Uncle Roman cuddles too," Jack replied, then turned his attention back to his toy cars he was playing with on the floor. Roman looked down at Ava in his arms who was starting to squirm.

"What's this all about?" Roman asked Mia.

"She's starting to recognize me and Brian now," Mia replied. "She gets funny if she is placed in anyone else's arms".

"You want your Mama back?" Roman cooed and carefully passed Ava back over to Mia. Ava soon settled once she was back in her mother's arms, kicking her legs in happiness. "Oh, I almost forgot. I come with presents". Jack's ears pricked up at the word "presents", then turned around to face his mother and Roman as the latter reached into the bag he brought with him. The first thing Roman pulled out of his bag was a bouncy mini-basketball with some writing on it. "This is for you, Jack. See the writing on it, it says, "To Jack, hopefully a future player," by the Lakers man himself, Kobe Bryant!"

"Wow! Thanks, Uncle Roman!" Jack thanked Roman by hugging him and he started bouncing the small ball.

"No playing with the ball in the house, Jack. When I'm done feeding Ava, we can all go outside and see you play, ok?" Mia reminded Jack.

"Yes, Mommy," Jack agreed.

"And for the little princess," Roman started pulling the gift out for Ava which is a baby black t-shirt that says "Little Miss New York" in golden sparkles.

"This is very cute, Roman," Mia said with a smile. "And thanks for the shirt being black. She has been pretty much covered with pink ever since before she was born". Just as Mia laid the shirt in front of Ava's tiny body to see how it looks, Brian arrives home from work along with a box with a hole in the middle and sees that Roman is back from his trip.

"Rome! How was the Big Apple?" Brian asked as he and Roman high-fived and man-hugged.

"Busy with all the construction and contracts of the new place. But, hey, at least I get to go to a ball match," Roman answered.

"Daddy! Look what Uncle Roman got me from New York!" Jack excitedly announced showing his father the autographed basketball.

"Wow, Kobe Bryant! You know, that's Daddy's favorite basketball player," Brian said to Jack while Roman mouths, "I know".

"And look what he got for Ava," Mia said showing Brian the baby t-shirt.

"Did Ava win a beauty pageant or something?" Brian joked and went to kiss both Mia and Ava. Now, everybody else saw that the box Brian brought along was moving and gave him questioning looks. Noticing the looks, Brian immediately announced, "I apologize in advance for upstaging you, Rome, but I also brought the family a little surprise". Brian then opened the box and picked up what Mia suspected: a puppy! A 9-week old German Shepherd puppy to be exact!

"A puppy!" Jack shouted excitedly and ran over to see it. "Is it a girl or boy?"

"A boy," Brian answered. "And he's ours".

"Really?!" Jack asked excitedly and gently petted the new addition to the family who immediately responded with a lick to Jack's hand.

"Really," Brian answered as he grinned at his son's smile.

"Question: how did that happen?" Mia asked as she's not 100% sure.

"Well, one of our police dogs, Freida, got pregnant and had 6 puppies. Now, her puppies are old enough to leave her and I thought I could take one home. And when he's old enough, we could train him to be a guard dog," Brian explained. He then walked over to Mia and Ava with the puppy in his arms. "Look, sweetheart. A puppy," Brian said as he moved the puppy safely close to Ava. The puppy licked Ava's cheeks to which she smiled and laughed for the very first time in her life.

"The puppy made Ava laugh!" Jack said excitedly as it was now a big milestone for his little sister.

"I see that, sweetie," Mia said now with a smile that says that a puppy is the perfect addition to their household. "Well, since we're keeping the puppy, what do you think we should name him?"

"Tiger," Jack answered after giving it some thought to which then the puppy jumped out of Brian's arms and ran his little legs over to Jack. "See? He loves it".

"Kid's got a point," Roman supported Jack's decision.

"Well, that settles it. Tiger, welcome to the O'Conner-Toretto family," Brian cooed to the puppy.
