Lauren's POV

Zayn Jr. just stares at me before he looks at Camila. "You won't abandon us, will you?" He asks.

Camila gets taken back but quickly regains her composure. "I may not be your father but I will try to be the best stepmother I can be," She says.

"Your opinion is the only one that matters to me, baby. What do you say?" I ask.

"If you want to then I want to," Zayn Jr. says.

I run my hand through his hair and gently plant a kiss on his forehead. "Say nothing less. Let's go pack everything," I said.

"Okay, mami," Zayn Jr. nods.

He walks over to his room and I slowly stand back up as Camila does too.

"Do you need any help?" Camila asks.

"He'll be good for now. Can you help me pack?" I ask.

"Of course," Camila nods.

I lead her into my bedroom and open the door. I walk over to my closet and swing it open.

"Woah! That's... A lot of clothes," Camila says.

"Juñior's room closet is filled with his toys so I had to move his clothes over here," I said.

"So... Does juñior only have toys in his room?" Camila asks.

"Mainly, yeah," I nod.

"This is going to take long," Camila sighs.

"I can call the girls. Make it a little faster and help us take the boxes to the cars," I suggest.

"Yeah, let's do that," Camila nods.

About 30 minutes later, Camila and I have packed at least one-fourth of the stuff when I hear a knock on the front door.

"Oh uh... You may expect the girls yelling at you," I said towards Camila.

"Oh, great..." Camila groans.

I walk out to the front door and open it. "Hey, girls," I said.

"What's up. What do you need?" Dinah pushes past me.

I move aside so Normani and Ally can enter as well.

"I need you guys on helping me pack everything," I said once I close the door.

"Pack everything... Why?" Ally asks.

"Because I'm moving out," I said.

"And going where?" Normani asks.

I bite my lower lip nervously as I look back towards my bedroom. "Camila!" I call out.

The girls' eyes widen as Camila walks slowly and cautiously towards me.

"Hi g-"

Before she can finish her sentence, Dinah moves towards her but Normani and Ally hold her back.

"Fucking bitch! Now! Now you want to take charge," Dinah yells angrily.

"Dinah, stop!" Ally says.

"I may agree on wanting to beat her ass D but it ain't worth it. Not anymore," Normani says.

"Always worth it," Dinah says, still trying to fight out of the girls' grip.

"D, honestly... There's no need for any of this," I said.

Dinah lets out a huff as she finally gets out of the girls' grip. "Fine," She says. She pushes past me and goes into Zayn Jr.'s room.

Normani eyes Camila and Ally just patted my arm gently as they enter Zayn Jr.'s room as well.

"They are not happy with me," Camila speaks softly.

"They are... Overprotective. Especially Dinah," I said.

"I can tell," Camila nods slowly.

"Come on let's go finish," I pat Camila's arm softly.

After so many hours, it's already dark outside as we load everything up into everybody's cars, even Liam came over to help us.

"Why are your arms shaking?" I tease Liam as he sets a box down in my trunk.

"Shut up. You guys made me lift every single box," Liam says out of breath.

"Well, that's everything," I said.

Camila walks over and hands Liam a piece of paper then hands other ones to the girls. "It's my address," She says.

"I'll make sure to drop by as much as I can," Liam says.

"And when he can't, we will," Dinah says pointing at herself then at Ally and Normani.

"You guys are too overprotective," I said.

"After Zayn, I ain't trusting anybody else on dating you," Dinah says.

"Same," Everybody else says.

"Well then, juñior is already in the car, we should get going," Camila says.

"Okay. Thank you guys for helping. I'll see you guys there so you can help us unload," I said.

"See you both there," Liam pulls me into a hug.

"See you," I rub his back softly.

I give everybody else a hug and Camila waves at them before we enter the car.

We finally arrive at Camila's house with everybody else's cars pulling up behind us.

Camila looks at me then back at Zayn Jr. who is strapped in his car seat.

"Welcome, both of you, to your new home," Camila says.
