Stewart walked over and gently ruffled Irwin's hair. "So, which one do you want to pick for your mom?"

"I want to pick two!" Irwin announced brightly. "One for Mom Bryn, one for Mom Rosita so it's fair!"

Stewart glanced back, his gaze briefly falling on the carrier in James's hand. His dark brows furrowed ever so slightly.
