Ignore typos, too lazy to go back and edit it.

Camila's POV

It might have been the fact that we didn't see her awake for about four days and spent 5 days looking for her but Shawn and I were on the edge of our seat as we watched her take a nap. She was almost done with second grade so the little speech impediment she had when she was in first grade is no longer there and she was really proud of it, we had worked on pronunciation with her day and night by her request and when we got to a point where she no longer needed any practice she had the biggest smile on her face. Memories like these came to mind in an astounding speed, I remember the first time I saw her in my classroom with a little ribbon on her head and a smile that could be seen from the galaxy. I remember the moment I saw her run into my classroom with Shawn hot on her tail, I think it was right then and there that I somehow knew I had found the second love of my life, and I was right. I remember when we told her we were dating, when we told her I was pregnant, when Shawn proposed, when we married, when the twins were born, and every memory we've had since came rushing through my head like a runaway train. I gripped the side of the chair as more tears ran down my cheeks, the twins were still in the room with us mostly because they would get fussy and start crying when my mom would try to take them alway from us or rather their sister who was still sleeping.

"You okay baby?" Shawn asked me as he looked at me with a concerned face. I nodded and gave him a half smile.

"I'm fine, just thinking about the time she noticed she didn't have the little speech impediment anymore." I smiled again at the memory and Shawn chuckled lowly.

"God she was so damn happy, the whole day she would tell anyone who could hear that she didn't have the speech impediment anymore." We both chuckled before looking back at our sleeping baby who moved a little and sighed before going back to a deep sleep.

"I'm worried, not just about her physical health but her mental health too, I called her therapist while I was out to get coffee and she recommended we bring her in as soon as it's possible." He said, leaning back and taking a sip of his coffee. I wasn't mad that he called her without talking to me, but I was a little hurt that he didn't mention so I let it slide.

"We should do that, I'm also worried about nightmares, she's always had a hard time with them so I'm scarred they'll only get worse with everything that's happened." He nodded in agreement before kissing Mateo's head who was leaning back on Shawn and dozing off and on for about the last hour, Diego was sleeping on the foot of the bed, snuggled up with his little blanket. I smiled at the sight before leaning back as we both fell into a silence was nor was it uncomfortable but also was not comfortable, we just were.

    A couple minutes went by and I started to crave his touch like I haven't since everything happened. I was literally fidgeting in my seat trying to get comfortable but no matter how much I tried all I wanted was his touch.

    "You ok babe?" He asked worried. He gently took Mateo in his arms and gently placed him next to his brother, he then walked to me and kneeled next to me.

    "I..." I contemplated in explaining or coming up with a half ass excuse but instead I leaned into his touch and kissed him, like really kissed him, like when we had our first kiss and everything was new and exiting. he was a little taken aback but kissed me back in no time. He lifted me up from my seat and sat down with me on his lap sideways. We were both so emerged in the kiss that I didn't even notice my mom standing in the doorway.

    She cleared her throat making both Shawn and separate from the kiss and me jumping to my feet. I don't know why we did it tho, I mean we're married with children but still we both blushed and avoided eye contact like two teenagers who had just been caught.

    "I'm here to pick up the twins, to take them to lunch." She said in an awkward tone but I knew I would hear about it later. She loved making fun of awkward moments. We both nodded and watched as she balanced both toddlers on her hips and walked out to place them in their double stroller.

    "Oh my god that was awkward." Shawn said from behind me as soon as my mom was out of site.

    I laughed and nodded before looking back at him. He extended his arm out to me so I could sit in his lap sideways like we were before. But this time we didn't kiss, he nudged his nose on the crook of my neck and placed gentle kisses there while I snuggled closer and played with his hair, they weren't sensual kisses but rather appropriate kisses and sometimes he would just stop and breathe in a little bit kinda like taking my scent or something.

    And there we were two parents with their heart on their hand for the daughter but still managing to find comfort in each other as we watched her sleep.

    You know when they say love is a powerful weapon? Well I wasn't sure that was true after my fiancé, baby, and supposedly brother died, but now looking back, it was my love for kids that made me want to be a teacher, it was my love for Isabela that made me risk my job by looking after her after school while her dad worked, and it was my love for life that gave me the strength to fight and make out of that delivery room alive.
