I have cramps, I can't sleep, and I would really like to be cuddled.

Camila laid in bed surrounded by peaceful breaths coming from Lauren's unconscious body. It was 2AM on a Monday and like a normal person, Lauren had fallen asleep a while ago. Camila was desperate for sleep but her thoughts were so consumed with the thought of getting sleep, that she could not actually fall asleep. Then, there was a consistent pain in her lower abdomen that would not go away. Camila had cramps. She has had them all day and not even a few Advil's helped with her pain. It got consistently worse and there was nothing she could do about it. Camila unfortunately, had to get up in a few hours for her morning class. She was not looking forward to it.

Camila reached out her hand and flipped up the switch to the lamp next to her. She took a book out of her nightstand and opened it to where she left off last. Night's like these are when Camila got most of her reading done. She could sit there for hours reading until she felt like she way going to fall asleep sitting up. Camila sat there peacefully, reading her story. She was unaware of how much time had passed. She looked over at her nightstand to see the clock read 4:02 AM. More than two hours had passed and Camila still wasn't feeling better but she knew she had to try and get some sleep. Camila sat the book down. She swung her feet over to the side of her bed so she could departure to the bathroom. As soon as Camila got up she felt a pain shoot through her lower stomach.

"Fuck!", Camila cried out, while clutching her stomach.

Camila heard ruffling coming from the bed besides her but she made her way towards the bathroom before she could see if she had woken up her girlfriend. Camila was still clutching her stomach. She was crouched over in a ball and let out a few groaning noises. Camila originally came to the bathroom to empty her bladder but the pain was so bad she just ended up lying on the bathroom floor. This was something she had dealt with monthly. Camila knew her pains would pass, but that didn't stop her from letting out a few groans. Camila would usually resort to the bathroom when her pains got this bad because she knew she would wake up Lauren with all the pain she was in.

Camila sat there crunched in a ball on the bathroom floor for a few minutes. Every time she felt a pain in her lower stomach she would yelp. Camila tried to be as quiet as possible because she did not want to wake up Lauren. But then she heard some more ruffling coming from her room. Camila listened. She heard footsteps and they got closer and closer. The door swung open and she saw her pair of favorite eyes staring down at her with a worried look.

"Baby what's wrong?", Lauren immediately asked, crouching down next to Camila. She lowered her hand to Camila's back and instantly started rubbing her back to try and soothe the younger girl.

"My cramps are so bad, I can't sleep, and I'm just a mess.", Camila said through clenched teeth.

"Oh god not again. Have you gotten any sleep tonight?", Lauren asked, worriedly.

"No I couldn't sleep. I was just reading and then I couldn't take my cramps anymore so I came in here.", Camila said.

"Sounds like you.", Lauren laughed. "C'mon let's go lay in bed."

Lauren reached for Camila's hand to try and help her off the bathroom floor. But Camila's hands didn't move away from her stomach.

"I think I'm going to stay here for a few more minutes.", Camila said.

"No you're not. Laying on the bathroom floor isn't going to help.", Lauren said, crouching down next to Camila, once again.

Before Camila could protest, she was being cradled in Lauren's arms and carried off to their bed. Lauren gently laid Camila down on the mattress. She walked over to Camila's nightstand and switched the light off. Lauren made her way back to her side of the bed and laid down next to her girlfriend.

"Do you want me to get you anything?", Lauren asked.

"Can you get me some water please.", Camila responded.

Lauren reached out and grabbed the glass of water she usually keeps on her nightstand. Camila took a few sips before handing it back to Lauren.

"Do you want anything else, babe?", Lauren asked, placing the glass of water back on her nightstand.

"No thanks. It just hurts so bad.", Camila said, her hands still on her stomach.

"I'm sorry babe, just try and get some sleep. You will feel better in the morning. I promise.", Lauren responded, shutting her eyes.

"Ok. Goodnight Lo", Camila said.

"Goodnight Camz.", Lauren responded.

Camila laid there for a whole ten seconds before she spoke up again.

"Lauren?", Camila said.

"Yes baby", Lauren responded, tiredly.

"Ummm, do you think you could cuddle me?", Camila asked, innocently.

Lauren didn't even respond. She just scooted closer to Camila in a spooning position and wrapped an arm around her waist. Lauren pulled Camila as close to her as she could. She replaced Camila's hands and started rubbing soothing circled on the younger girl's lower stomach.

"Try and get some sleep babe. I love you.", Lauren whispered into Camila's ear.

"I love you too Lo.", Camila responded, before taking a deep breath.

Camilafelt a kiss being placed to the back of her head. She closed her eyes andfocused on the soothing feeling of Lauren's smooth hands. Camila's breathingcalmed. Before she knew it she was asleep. Falling asleep in Lauren's arms wassomething Camila would never get tired of
