Demi POV
"Lauren?" I whispered, she looked up. I eyed Camila confused. "Does she usually... Um?" I looked down at Camila, she followed my gaze, her eyes softening. "I've seen her do it a couple of times when she was like this." She told me. I nodded and Lauren gently traced her fingers along the side of Camila's face.
I saw Camila close her eyes a few times, but she always opened them up again and looked around frantically. Ally walked in, "Hey." She said smiling weakly. "Hey." Lauren and I replied. "Is she asleep yet?" Lauren shook her head. "She's fighting it." She told Ally, who nodded. "I was just checking in, Kenzie is still sleeping, so I thought I'd tell you that too, also the girls and I are gonna watch some movies if you wanna come."
I looked over to Lauren, who held a half-asleep Camila in her arms. "Go ahead, I think I've almost got her to sleep," Lauren whispered to me. I smiled at her and hugged her before leaving the room to go downstairs with the rest of the girls.
Lauren POV
I was sure that I almost had Camila asleep when she whimpered a little bit. "Shhhh.." I pulled her closer to me if that was even possible. She knew she was about to fall asleep, that's probably why she was so distraught. She cried silently while I wiped away her tears and ran my fingers through her hair.
"Think happy things baby... Happy thoughts." I whispered to her. She nestled into me and closed her eyes, I knew she didn't want to sleep, but she couldn't fight her sleep anymore. It was almost 10 at night. I was actually pretty tired too, but I wasn't going to sleep until I was certain that Camila was sleeping.
Not too long after, I felt her breathing steady and slow down. She was sleeping. I let out a sigh of relief and pulled the covers a top of both of us. I kissed her forehead and closed my eyes, letting myself fall asleep.
Demi POV
The girls and I were watching a movie and Dinah was about to go check on Camila and Lauren. She came back a few moments later smiling, "They're both sleeping." She said. All of us let out a sigh of relief. "Demi, does Camila usually suck her thumb?" She asked me, taking her seat next to me. "Lauren said she'd seen her do it a few times when she was like this," I answered.
"Like what?" Ally asked. "I don't really know how to word it, but when she's this... unstable... I guess? She gets like this when she doesn't sleep," I told her, explaining the best I could. "Is that why she came to me like that this morning?" Dinah questioned. I nodded, "she had a mini meltdown because she was worried about you, she was crying and begging Lauren to come see you. She wanted to see for herself that you were okay." Dinah nodded.
"I'm glad Lauren finally got her to sleep," Normani said, we all nodded and continued to watch the movie. Kenzie turned towards Normani in her sleep. "Why do you think she likes me so much?" Mani asked, giggling a little bit. "Maybe you remind her of someone, also, you give good cuddles, she likes to be held," I told her. She nodded.
Ally had recently fallen asleep, leaving Dinah, Normani, and myself. Kenzie started to cry in her sleep a little. Mani noticed and rubbed circles on her back, calming her down. Mani handed her to me. Kenize immediately clung to my shirt, holding on tightly. "Is she alright?" Dinah asked. I nodded, "she gets nightmares, but she's gonna be okay." I answered.
Kenzie coughed before crying. "Shhhh... It's okay." Kenzie calmed down and sat up, rubbing her eyes. She was still sleeping, I think. She opened her eyes and looked around before her breathing quickened and she started to cry. "No... Baby, you're okay. Don't cry." I handed her Lolo and he continued to cry.
I set her down for a second so that I could get up because of how I had been sitting. I made sure to let her keep holding onto my hand so she wouldn't panic. "I'll be back." I told Mani and Dinah. They nodded and I carried Kenzie upstairs.
