(I said Maia was three but I'm changing it to four, just for story purposes)
lauren -
camz and I made rode in my car to Dinah and Mani's home, jamming to the 1975.
D and Mani had a large house, at least 5 bedrooms, I remember Mani went to college for dance and scored a job at a prestigious dance studio. Dinah, I don't remember.
Camila and I were content with our teaching jobs and never wanted the larger things in life. we loved the small countryside where we could build a family.
we walked in and Dinah was getting yelled at. I've never seen her so small in my life. "hi guys! I need you two to work with me, Dinah has to go get the monitors." mani calms herself.
Dinah quickly pecks Mani's cheek and runs to her car.

we had finished the room, they planned on giving the twins separated rooms when they get older, but for now the room had been decorated for the two children. the floor was covered in cream carpet, with the information that was given Dylan's side of the room was decorated with light blue walls and animated clouds were painted randomly with a sun sat in the corner of one of the walls. he had a dark sheet laying around his mattress in the toddler crib. a light wood dresser matched the crib, and sat near the closet. on Daya's side it faded to lilac, a Rapunzel theme was given to her. apparently Tangled was the child's favorite Disney movie. a copy of it say on her dresser on the opposite side of the closet, Daya had the same crib and dresser as Dylan. besides the dark purple sheet around her mattress. the room was gorgeous, Dinah and Normani were excited to pick up the two children.
Dinah ran up the stairs, fumbling with batteries and two monitors, once finally in the room she had put all the batteries in wrong.
"I.. sorry mani, I was rushing," Dinah groans, embarrassed by the fact she put the batteries in wrong.
"it's okay babe, we have to pick the twins up soon." mani tells her, fixing the batteries and setting the monitors up.
we said our goodbyes and we all exited their house.
"Sofi took Maia home, apparently she fell asleep on the way here so she detoured back home," Camila tells me.
I nod in response and grab Camila's hand as I pulled out of the driveway.
"I miss her," Camila pouts.
"we'll see Maia in a moment," I assure her.
we say in silence the rest of the drive, once home I saw an unfamiliar car parked in the driveway. Camila and I look at each other, and quickly get into the house. I lock my car and walked quickly after Camila.
"mommy! Lauren! I missed you!" Maia yells running into Camila's arms.
"we missed you too! now where is aunt Sofi?" Camila asks Maia.
"she's sleeping, shh" Maia holds out the word 'sleeping' and puts her index finger up to Camila's lips.
I laugh and pick Maia up, "where is aunt Sofi?"
"onwards Lauren! please," Maia points to the living room.
I gallop into the living room to see Sofi cuddled into a girl her age.
