| Cameron's POV |

"Stephanie we need to talk." I say as I enter  her bedroom and sitting on the bed. She was laying on her bed using her phone.

"Sure Dad. What's up?" She says putting down her phone and giving me her full attention.

"It's about your mom, you know she loves you and she wants the best for you. But fighting with her is not okay."

She raises her eyebrows and sighs.

"You and mom fight all the time, why am I suddenly the bad guy when I fight with her?"

She was right, she made a point. But that wasn't the issue. "Yeah but we're married, it's what's couples do. Now I would like for you to go to her, make up with her. And tell her you love her. I don't like seeing you guys fight."

Stephanie sighs and gets out of the bed walking out of the bedroom.

"Thank you princess."

| Diana's POV |

I was in bed scanning through the channels on the tv. Cameron had left earlier to go downstairs to grab a quick snack cause he couldn't sleep.

There was a knock on my door, I was wondering why Cam had to knock just to enter his own room.

"Come in." I say finding a channel and  a show  that was looked interesting.

Stephanie walks in, and lays on the bed, sighing and looking up at the ceiling. There was silence in the room for a few seconds while I just looked at her.

"Mom, I'm sorry." She begins to talk, i was  wondering why she was apologizing but I remembered she's apologizing for yelling at me yesterday.

"It's ok, Steph. I'm sorry too, I didn't mean to get you upset. You knew that I didn't like you doing anything before homework. I don't mind you have Michael or your friends around, I just want you to focus on school." I smile, and by that time she was already sitting up.

We forgive each other, hugging it out  and we began talking and laughing. A moment I haven't really had with her.

"Stephanie dinners ready!" I yell from the stairs arranging the plates on the table. Cameron puts the lasagna and the rest of the food on the table. While I clean the counter.

Stephanie comes down, when her head down and didn't say anything when she saw lasagna which is her favorite.

"Hun, what's wrong?" I ask sitting down across from her.

She shakes her head, and I glance at Cameron who already has his lasagna on his plate and about to eat. He picks up the fork and I slap his arm.

"Oww! Diana." He says looking at me confused and an wanting an explanation. I give me eye contact gesture to look at Steph.

"Princess what's wrong?" He asks the same question I asked her.

"Nothing, it's fine."

"It's fine? Stephanie I know you, you can tell us." I say touching her hand that was on the table.

"I said I'm fine." She says with a harsh tone, removing her hand.  I look over after Cameron who is also looking at me. "I'm not really hungry, I'm gonna go to my room."

She excused herself going up the stairs.

"I'm gonna go check up on her." I say putting the napkin that was on my lap onto the table. Cameron grabs my hand.

"Give her some space for now and we'll check up on her later. For now, I'm starving. "

I nod, feeling worried about what was wrong with her.

-

After dinner, Cam and I decided that he'll go and talk to her while I clean up and then he'll come down and tell me what was wrong with our daughter.

I went into the family room, and turned on the TV. My favorite all time movie Divergent was one. An hour passed by and I began to worry what was going on and why Cameron hasn't come down yet.

I turn off the tv, going up to Stephanie's room. I open the door and she was  asleep.

Wait then where is Cameron?

I go to our room and he was there on the bed, under the covers watching tv. He turns to look at me smiling.

"Hey babe." He says patting the bed for me to come sit on.

What the hell?

"What the hell Cameron? I've been downstairs waiting on you for an hour wondering when you were gonna come down and tell me what is wrong with our daughter? And I come up to see you in our bed, watching tv?" I say in a harsh tone.

I can't believe him right now.

"Oh my god babe , I totally forgot.I'm sorry baby." He says giving me his full attention and sympathy.

"No, Cameron you didn't forget, what part of 'coming downstairs to tell me what was wrong with Stephanie' forgettable?"

"Baby, I said I was sorry. Stop making a big deal out of it."

He turns to look back at the tv.

"So my daughters concern isn't important right now?" I ask, crossing my arms.

"I didn't fucking say that!" He yells and he looks down knowing he just cussed and yelled at me. "I didn't say that."

"No, I perfectly understand what you meant." I say going into my  closet, and putting on my nike hoodie and sweatpants,and sneakers.

"Where are you going?" Cameron asks from behind.

"For a walk."

I stand in front of the mirror, putting my hair in a ponytail. I grab my phone and before I could open the door, he grabs my arm spinning me around to face him. He looks down at me with sad eyes.

"Diana, please don't go. I'm sorry I didn't tell you. After I talked to her, Nash called me and we started talking that I totally forgot that you were downstairs waiting for me.". He says pulling me closer to him. He leans into to kiss me, his sweet soft lips against mine. Sending chills down my spine.  We deepen the kiss and he lifts me up, wrapping my legs around his waist. We still didn't break the kiss. He lays me on the bed and he goes down to kiss my neck.

I moan quietly in his ear, remembering that Stephanie was in the house and also it was a turn on for him. I run my fingers through his ear. He moans my name and he begins to take off my hoodie, but I stop him. He looks at me with confusion.

"Stephanie is right next door baby." I tell me.

He lets out a groan . "Fuck."

I giggle and he lays his head on my chest.

As cheesy as it sounds, all i wanted to do was freeze this moment.

He pulled me back right before i was leaving, i expected him to just stand there and watch me leave but he didn't do that. I was wrong about him.

I loved his man like crazy, and nothing can stop me from loving him.

"I love you." He says still resting his head on my chest.

"And I love you." I smile kissing the top of his head.
