Camila's POV
I close Lauren's apartment door as she searches the apartment for Zayn Jr.
"I don't think my brother's wife has brought him home yet," Lauren walks back over to me.
"Great. What do we do then?" I ask.
"We wait. My brother's wife shouldn't take long on getting him back home," Lauren says.
"Does he usually go out with your brother and his wife?" I ask.
"Yes and with Dinah, Normani, and Ally. They love him ever since the first day he came to this world," Lauren says.
My posture softens up a little bit as I stare at Lauren's belly where my child is developing.
She notices me staring and she walks closer to me. "Come here," Lauren says. She reaches down and takes my hand as she places it on her belly. "Do you truly not want to be close to him or her?" Lauren whispers, placing her hand above mine.
I rub my thumb gently against her belly but then I back away immediately. "Can we just... Wait for juñior without talking about this topic?" I said.
"I'm just trying to get you to love me with this kid. Not without it," Lauren says.
I look away from her as I breathe shakily. I move past her and go to sit down in the living room. "It's hard for me to do," I said once Lauren walked in.
"How long is it gonna take for you to tell me what's bothering you?" Lauren kneels in front of me.
"It's not easy and we've only been dating for about 2 weeks. I can't tell anyone not even my cousin," I said.
"Please, Camila..." Lauren begs.
"One day..." I said. I cup Lauren's cheek and bring my forehead to rest on hers. "I'll tell you one day," I whisper.
"I wish that one day was today. I want to be close to you. I feel that one strong wall separating us," Lauren whispers.
"Lauren... I..." I stutter.
There's a knock on the front door and that makes Lauren sigh as she stands up.
I stand up and see Lauren open the door as a woman and Zayn Jr. enter.
"Hey, baby!" Lauren picks her son up in her arms.
"Mami!" Zayn Jr. hugs her back.
"How was your morning with your aunt?" Lauren asks.
"Fun like always," Zayn Jr. says.
"You have such an amazing kid Lauren," The woman says.
"Thank you, Maya," Lauren smiles at her.
"Well, I have to go. Liam and I have an appointment with the doctor to see if I'm pregnant," Maya says.
"Hopefully you are, Maya. See you around," Lauren says.
"See you," Maya says.
They kiss each other on the cheek before Maya leaves and Lauren closes the door behind her.
Lauren sets Zayn Jr. down and the boy walks over to me once he sees me.
"Hey, Camila," He smiles.
I place on a smile and kneel to his height. "Hey, kiddo," I said.
"Why are you here?" Zayn Jr. asks curiously.
I look up at Lauren and she walks over as she kneels next to me.
"Because Camila will be taking us to live with her," Lauren says.
