Scared of being a warrior

*time skip*

Lauren POV

I woke up to horrible screaming and frantically looked around. Camila wasn't next to me, but I could hear her screaming something horrible. I looked everywhere I could think of her hiding before looking under my bed. I sighed with relief when I found her.

"Camz...baby, come here. It's Lauren sweetheart, I won't hurt you. Come on out." I cooed. She shakily got out and fell into my arms sobbing. She'd never done anything like this before. "Camila baby... Talk to me." I rubbed circles on her back. She just shook her head and curled into me on my lap, putting her thumb in her mouth and crying.

I scooped her up and carried her over to my bed, sitting down with my back against the headboard. She clung to me tightly, starting to cry harder, I smoothed her hair and rocked her side to side. "Baby, please... Talk to me." She just cried, she was terrified and trembling. "Shhhhh... I've got you. You're okay, sweetheart." I laid down with her wrapped in my arms.

"I can't make it better if you don't tell me what's wrong, baby you need to talk to me." She shook her head again as her breathing became irregular. "Hey..." I sat up, cradling her. "Come on, baby, let's go downstairs okay." She just nodded and held my shirt tightly, still crying. "Shhh..." I cooed as I picked her up, carrying her downstairs.

Her now gentle cries filled the room. The girls were sleeping downstairs and I didn't want to wake them. I got a blanket from the hall closet and wrapped Camila in it before scooping her back up in my arms. "Let's go outside, baby girl, you can get some fresh air okay?" She sniffled and nodded.

We had a swing that was out in the back yard and I carried her over to it, swinging gently. "I have you, I love you, and you're safe," I said softly. "I l..love y..you too," she said through her soft crying. I kissed her forehead. "Baby look, let's watch the sunrise, look how pretty."

She wiped her eyes with the backs of her hands and sniffled, smiling a little and turning on my lap, watching the sun come up.

*time skip*

The sun had come up and Camz was curled back up in my lap. Not having any distractions from her thoughts or whatever had been scaring her so badly, she held onto my shirt and buried her face in it, crying softly. "Camz... Shhhh. Baby, it's okay." I cooed softly as I rubbed gentle circles on her back and rocked the swing slightly.

"Do you wanna go inside?" I whispered, she nodded slowly and koala-beared me. I let out a small sigh and carried her inside, Ally and Dinah were awake and cuddling on the couch. I smiled at them nervously. "Woah... What's wrong with Mila?" Ally asked worriedly. "She won't tell me," I said quietly as I sat down next to the two.

Dinah sat up. "Waaaalz." She cooed, gently rubbing Camila's arm. She flinched and held onto me tighter. "Was it a scary dream Mila?" Ally asked her calmly, not wanting to scare her. Camz shook her head. "Something you saw baby?" I asked her, holding her at arm's length.

She didn't answer but reached back for me. I shook my head. "Tell me first, sweetheart." She held her bottom lip between her teeth and held back a sob, tears brimming her eyes. I sighed and held my arms open for her, letting her rest her head on my chest as she cried softly. Ally and Dinah looked shocked.

"I've seen her tired, I've seen her sad, I've seen her scared... But I'm worried, Lauren," Dinah said while looking at Camila, who was wrapped in my arms. "She's probably scared, she just needs the comfort right now," I told the two, who nodded. "Shhhh... It's okay." I smoothed Camila's hair and laid down at the other end of the couch, opposite Dinah and Ally.

Camila was cuddled into me and laid on top of my chest. She whimpered a little bit, but her cries slowed down. She was lightly tracing her fingers along the side of her face. "L..lauwen?" She whimpered quietly, sounding a lot like a little kid. "Yes, baby?" She buried her face in her hands nervously.

"Teddy?" "You want your teddy?" She nodded shyly. "Don't be embarrassed sweetie, it's okay." She nodded again. "Which one?" "Um, d..da one you got me for vawentines?" She said quietly. She seemed so innocent and childlike, so I just acted on my instincts, treating her how she was acting. Maybe it would comfort her.

"Stay with Ally and Dj while I go get it okay? Do you want your monkey too?" She nodded and Dinah smiled at me and sat up. I smiled back at Dinah and set Camila on her lap and head upstairs. I got Camila's teddy and monkey. Her monkey had a zipper compartment on the back so I made sure it was all the way zipped and carried the two stuffed animals back downstairs to Camz.

"Here, sweetheart," I said kindly as I handed her the stuffed animals and picked her back up. "Kitty?" She asked me, tilting her head a little and pointing to the tv. I mimicked her head tilt with a questioning look on my face. Ally seemed the have an epiphany and got up, grabbing the remote, and putting on hello kitty.

"You genius," I said, giggling a little as I sat down with Camila. Camila intently watched the tv for a while, Mani was the next to wake up. "What are w- ooooh hello kitty!" She cheered as she jumped off the couch, sitting on the floor in awe. I giggled.

"Her weakness," Ally said rolling her eyes playfully. "Definitely," Dinah agreed, laughing. I thought for a moment, I thought that Demi and Mani slept in Demi's room with Kenzie. "When did they move down here?" I asked.

"Ooh, we all woke back up and she gave Kenzie some medicine, and then we watched stuff and since she wanted to let you and Camz sleep, they knocked out cold on the couch." Ally informed me, made sense. "Ohhhh." She nodded.

Kenzie sat up on Demi's lap sleepily before rubbing her eyes and looking around. "Hi, Kenzie." Mani waved to Kenzie, who actually looked up, waving at Mani. She looked down at Demi and kissed her forehead. "Aweeeee," We all cooed before Kenzie slid off of the couch and sat next to Mani.

" kih-ee?" She questioned, laying her head on Mani's lap. We all looked up and froze. "Did she just...?" "I think she..." "Uh-huh..." "Wake Demi." Ally said still in shock.

Normani POV

"I'm gonna go wake Demi up, I will be right there okay?" I told Kenzie. "'Ommy?" She asked, pointing to Demi. I smiled and nodded. She copied me, nodding. She sat up and I went over and shook Demi.

"Demi!" I whisper yelled. "Hmmm," she mumbled into a pillow. "You're gonna wanna seeeee this," I said to her, shaking her more. "Whaaaaat maniiiii," She asked as she sat up and rubbed her eyes. "Well, she's talking and referred to you as Mommy," I told her. Well, that woke her right up. She rubbed her eyes.

"If this is a joke." She looked towards Dinah, "Dinah Jane... Not fu-" "mm-ee." Kenzie hummed contently, climbing onto the couch and snuggling into Demi's embrace. "You were serious!" She said wide-eyed with a smile on her face. I nodded, "She said mommy and Kitty." I told her.

She smiled and hugged Kenzie. I wish this moment would last.
