*****Camila's POV*****
"Why am I in here?" I asked, but they didn't say much. Really just looked at each other, to be honest. I guess it was so bad that you just didn't know what to say. "Oh, good. She's awake" another voice called. It was a doctor, who came to lean over me next. "I'm here to tell you everything. Just stay relaxed. Can you do that?" So I nod. "Good. After that, I'll let you go have your visit".
It was a long winded process of telling me the problem. Turns out, the smoke from the explosion I was in completely fucked my lungs. From being stressed, I had triggered a breathing episode. And from all the chemicals in the explosion, I had started to lose the ability create oxygen for myself. "So that's why I have the oxygen tank?" "That's right. But with singer's lungs like yours, this shouldn't be permanent". Hopefully not.
"I'm guessing you want to see her now?" I was really confused. See who? "Who am I seeing?" He just helped me off the bed and led me out my room. "She's missed you so much". Well, that's nice. I just wish I knew who it was. My mom? Sofie? It could be anyone.
I tried to get up, but I immediately started to breath heavily. "Mils, sit back down" Lauren said, gently laying me back on the bed. I didn't feel this weak before. Why now? "I'll go get her". So Mani walked out and Lauren and Ally sat me with. "How long have I been out?" "About ten hours. And a lot has happened since then". "Like what? Ally just smiled widely and held Lauren's hand. "You'll see soon enough". What could be worth all this suspense?
Then Normani came back, her back pushing the door. I couldn't help but gasped when she turned completely around. She was pushing someone in a wheelchair. Someone I had been dying to see. "Hi Chancho" her voice cracked, and the tears started to go. I could barely contain mine.
"Help me up. Please, one of you help me up so I can hug my girlfriend" I cried out, trying to get to her. I was already a little winded trying to move myself around. "Mila, mila babe. I can walk over to you. I was just feeling lazy" she chucked, wiping her wet eyes. She got up and wobbled to me, and I practically threw myself into her arms.
"I missed you, so much Dinah". Despite how happy I was, I couldn't stop crying. And the tears on my back let me know she felt the same. "It's over now. Everything that you went through. Its done. You're home and we're gonna be a family". I kissed her cheek, trying to remember every little detail.
"I love you, Camila. I missed you so much". "Well you don't have to miss me anymore". She cupped my face in her hands, forehead against mine and a smile on her face. "Can I kiss you?" she asked, grazing her thumb over my lip. I just laughed and pulled her lips to mine. The minute we kissed, everything seemed so clear and right in the world. I could be happy again. "Can we go home?" I looked to the doctors. "Only if Camila gets rest. Which means no sex, you hear me?" We laugh. If only they knew.
"Okay... I heard sex is good for the baby? Why would I deny the health benefits for my child, Doc?" I said through my laughter. Ally just shook her head and silently prayed for us. "Y'all need Jesus". There's nothing anyone could've said or done to make me upset at a moment like this. My babies are back safe and healthy. That's all I ever wanted... but I was totally gonna hit that tonight.
"Everything looks so different" Dinah awed as we drove back to her house. "Things have definitely changed since you've been gone" Milika added. She had signed Dinah out from the hospital and picked us up. Her father would've come, but he probably still denied that she was alive. As much as I despised that man, he was still her father and I could respect a guy who created such a beautiful girl like her.
"The whole family is at the house and others are coming to see you, if they aren't there already". "Wow, as if 23 people weren't enough" she laughed. I rested my head against her, listening to her heartbeat. I wanted to remember that sound. I wanted to remember all these things. All the little things that make her... Her.
"Wow Milz, just marry her already" I could hear Ally say. Damn, how much did I say out loud. Lauren put her hand over her heart and dramatically sighed. "I want to remember all these little things that make her...her" she gushed, followed by loud laughter. I just blushed while Ally hit her shoulder. "That's what being in love is like. You fall in love will all the little things they do. All you can do is fall harder when you pick up on little habits they do. And you remember them. Everything just because you love them so much".
"Damn Ally" Dinah started, her eyes pooling with tears. "Awe baby". I pulled her to me, wiping a few tears out of her eyes. "I'm sorry. Just hormonal because of the baby. Damn thing better be worth all this trouble" she laughed. I just rubbed my hand over her swollen stomach, kissing her lips gently. "Whatever and whoever they become, they'll be great". "Especially with mommies as good as you" Mani chimed in, cuddling with Lauren. Everything seemed to be falling back into balance. We were gonna be a family again.
"We're here, sweetheart. Are you ready?" She looked around at all of us, a slight panic in her eyes. "Guys, give us a minute please?" They all just nod and step out the car. I grab both of Dinah's hands, making her look up at me. "I won't let anyone hurt you anymore. Your family is here, and we all love you". She nodded and I kissed her forehead. "Ready to start where we left off?" She grabbed my hand and smiled.
"Let's do this Mrs.Hansen-Cabello".
