Anastasia POV

I walked out of the cabin, with no idea on if anyone else was outside. I saw Charles walk out before James did, the two of them both laughed as they walked out before I realized they were both wearing similar clothing.

I never realized it before, so they must've changed. I shook my head as they both walked towards where I was standing.

"Is it okay if we take both the dogs for a small hike?", James asks and I shrugged a little before Charles said, "They won't mind me stealing Winnie and Daisy, they'd be grateful honestly. But we don't want to leave Billie out".

"Yeah then it's fine, we're going to prepare dinner. Florence already decided they'll prepare the majority of it, meaning the easier things that they can do whilst sitting", I say and the two laughed as Stefania walked over with the dogs chasing behind her.

"So what's the plan?", she asks as she walked over to me as I smiled softly before the guys rounded up the three dogs.

"Uh we need their leashes", Charles says and Stefania looked at me before I said, "They are taking them hiking".

"Ah well go ask Elizabeth for Winnie and Daisy's", Stefania says as Aurora stepped outside before saying, "I want to hike too".

"Can I go hiking Mama?", she asks and I looked at her uncles before asking, "Will you guys be okay with her going?".

"Yeah we can handle that, each of us can take a dog if she can handle one of them", James says and Stefania quickly spoke up, "She can take Winnie, Winnie walks the calmest out of the three".

Aurora raced back inside to probably change and grab Billie's leash as I looked at the guys before stating, "She stays in your view at all times, you do not let her wander".

"I promise", James says and I nodded a little as Elizabeth began walking over with Charles beside her.

"I threatened Charlie already, he understands that Florence and I will both hurt him if anything happens to Aurora", she says and I laughed a little before she asked, "Is Flo inside?".

"Yeah, she'll need help preparing dinner inside. I was going to have Stefania help me with the burgers and everything else for the barbeque", I tell Lizzie and she softly smiled as Stefania hugged her.

"Okay so what do you need help with?", Stefania asks and I pointed at the barbeque before answering, "I have never used this brand, but I know you had one of these back when we first met".

"Oh so I'm just a tool", she says jokingly with a slight smile and I rolled my eyes before replying, "I wouldn't call you a tool, more so more skilled than I am".

"No that's fair, I mean I used to love this barbeque. But I do prefer my newer one", she says as she walked over towards the section where the barbeque was before I followed behind her.

"So we move on the 20th of June, it's been made official. We have also bought your neighbour's house and everything will be moved during this move out. It's going to be weird saying goodbye to the place Aurora grew up in, but this new house will be bigger for three kids and a dog", I tell her and she smiled a little as she replied, "I fear I will need to do renovations at our house eventually, we both want a large family and I don't want to move since Jarnette literally lives minutes away".

"I completely understand, our new house is also going to be a lot closer to my dad's house. But being in Oxford we're also minutes from both of our families.", I comment and she smiled as she said, "And only a flight away from us, whenever you guys want to come out. Just send me a text and I'll have my pilot pick you up from wherever".
