It was Monday afternoon, some weeks later, - Lauren was coaching after school football practice. Camila had taken their daughter to the doctor to finally get his cast removed.
Harper watched in obvious delight as the nurse began to get the cast open. Although her delight wasn't from the fact that she was finally getting it off - if anything that disappointed her because now she had to go back to doing things for herself and not receiving special treatment at home or at school - but because of the saw like tool the nurse was using to get it off. In the nine year olds eyes it was incredibly cool.
Camila couldn't help but smile at the look on her face, purely Lauren, and looked down at her own mini me; Amelia was watching the nurse with fascination as she clung to her mother for security. Her big brown eyes were stuck to the saw as it moved down the cast.

"Harper! Stop jumping on your bed or you'll break your leg! Again!" Camila yelled up to her daughter less then an hour later from the kitchen, where she was making her kids a snack.
She heard a loud thump and froze in worry, staring up at ceiling where Harper's room was located, right above the kitchen.
"I'm okay!"
Camila sighed in relief and went back to cutting up the mangoes in front of her, shaking her head. After she finished, she divided them between Amelia's Little Mermaid plate and Harper's Beauty and The Beast one.
"Apple or grape juice, sweets?" Camila asked Amelia as she placed the princess plate in front of two year old.
"Appie!" Lia exclaimed excitedly, grabbing her matching fork and stabbing one of the orange slices with it.
Camila smiled at her and kissed her curly head before moving towards the fridge as Harper came jumping down the stairs, causing her heart to practically fall out of her chest when she almost tripped. "Harper, please be careful," she begged, closing the fridge door.
"I'm fine mama." Harper laughed at her overprotective mother, slipping into her seat by her little sisters high chair. She leaned up and gave her a kiss on the cheek, making Camila's heart melt at the beautiful sisterly moment.
Despite herself, she smiled and poured the juice into Amelia's sippy-cup and then closing it. "I know but I still worry. What do you wanna drink?" She asked, bringing her plate over with her sisters juice.
Harper smiled at her in thanks as she placed the plate in front of her. "Grape juice please."
"Coming right up," Camila smiled and went back to the fridge, replacing the apple juice with the grape. She took a cup from the cabinet and placed it on the counter. Right as she was about to pour the juice, she heard the doorbell. "One minute babe,"
Harper frowned as she left the kitchen but then sighed in understanding, picking up a grape and nibbling on it as she waited.
Camila ran a hand through her hair as she opened the front door only to be met with the two grinning faces of her sister and best friend. She blinked in surprise and took a step back. "What's up?"
"We have it." Ally gushed, quickly moving into the house with Dinah in tow.
"Have what?" Camila asked in confusion, shutting the door behind her.
"The perfect name for a girl," her blonde sister smiled brightly. She and Normani had found out the gender of the second baby the month before and had been in almost panic mode trying to find a name.
Camila smiled with a raised eyebrow. "That's great!" She paused as she looked at an equally beaming Dinah in confusion. "But.. Why are you so happy?"
