Family portraits was a concept that the Thompson family often enjoyed. With a new member joining the Thompson legacy as Mychal liked to call it. Julie was planning the day the whole family got together. Which was May 16th. In a couple more weeks, Julie would have all her son's together and that would be more than enough to warm her heart.

"I hate shopping. It's pointless. I could honestly wear a paper towel and I'd be cool with it."  Klay said, scoffing as Camila and Julie browsed the store. Mason was sleeping comfortably, in his stroller that grandma Julie had bought him.

"Klay it's not pointless. You need a suit and some dress shoes. The family portrait is in two weeks and by that time you'll be out on the ride so we need to figure this out now." Julie stated,  trying to get her son on board with the topic of shopping.

"Can't dad handle it for me?" Klay commented,  he couldn't remember the last time he went shopping. He usually got one of the guys to order him something online. Usually it was Stephen or Draymond who recommended him clothing.

"No. Your father is busy. Let's pick a suit and let's get going." Julie ordered, as her son continued to frown as the walked closer to the men's section.

"Think about it like this: if you find a suit, try it on, think it suits you well, then we can all leave. But if you keep acting like a teenage girl on her period, I doubt that will happen." Camila commented, Julie laughed behind them hearing all of Camila's words.

"Listen to her Klay!" Julie yelled, walking into an aisle of suits.

         After buying a suit for nearly four hours. The family headed out to Olive Garden where they would be meeting up with Ayesha and Stephen. 

"You're joking right? You did not spend four hours buying a suit?" Stephen asked, disbelief in his tone of voice. Camila laughed, as Julie and her did their special handshake.

"Only Klay." Camila mumbled, shielding herself away from Klay. Klay was known for tickling people when he was being joked at. Camila was always his target. 

"Stop Klay! Don't you dare come closer to me!" Camila yelled, trying to protect herself. Klay laughed, attacking the woman. Ayesha and Stephen secretly videotaped the pair. Julie held baby Mason in her arms as the baby was falling asleep even with his parents acting this way.

"Too late!" Klay announced, grabbing the woman as he continued to tickle her. It felt like they were the only people there, no one watching, it felt like they were alone.  Maybe that's why the pairs gaze lasted for a long time.

"Camila...." Klay spoke, hesitant to remove his hands from her waist. He didn't want to ruin the moment.

"Klay..." the woman spoke, caressing his cheek. Tears starting to form in her eyes. 

"Don't cry.  I'm here. I'm here."  Klay said reassuringly, he desperately needed to kiss her because he was definitely attracted to the mother of his child. When he was sad, Camila comforted him, when he had low confidence, Camila helped him, when he was having an off night, Camila did not mention it. As her modo is "we are human"

"I like you a lot... I don't know if you'll feel the same way as I do. It's fine if you don't, but I felt like I should tell you." Camila stated, still starting at the man.

"Oh baby, I like you too." Klay commented, grabbing the woman's waist pushing her closer to him. As they both crashed onto each other's lips.

  Stephen and Ayesha had just captured a memorable moment. One that they were not expecting.
