The Back Up Plan (Camren)

Chapter 12

Camila is now 5 months and the other day she found out what she was having. A boy and a girl. How perfect. Her and Lauren are going out to eat tonight at Lauren's friends restaurant.

"Here we have a yellowtail sashimi with ponzu sauce and pea shoots. This is carpaccio with shaved white truffles. And, finally, an heirloom tomato salad with fresh Buratta flown in from Italy this morning." The chef said.

Camila placed her hand over her mouth, looked at Lauren, and then ran to the bathroom.

Lauren came in the bathroom hearing Camila throwing up. She came into the stall and grabbed Camila's hair out her face.

"Camz, you okay?"

"I wanna go home" Camila sobbed. She wasn't liking the mood swings and the random sicknesses.

They were walking through the front door and Camila slammed it.

"I told you I didn't wanna go, and now I ripped my dress!"

Lauren liked when Camila got riled up for no reason. She grabbed her hands and pulled Camila into a kiss. She then brought her hands to the back of Camila's dress, ripping it open from the zipper.

"Oh.." Camila hummed

Lauren smiled and picked Camila up bridal style while still kissing her, bringing her to their bedroom.

"What's that" Lauren mumbled on Camila's lips, staring down at the bed with Camila still in her arms.

"Oh that's my pillow. Dinah gave it to me. It's supposed to help me sleep." Camila quickly said back and kissed Lauren hard.

Lauren threw Camila on the bed and Camila giggled.

"I'll be right back" Lauren said, running to the bathroom.

Lauren brushed her teeth and tried to make it quick. She got back and saw Camila sprawled out on the bed with "her pillow" underneath her and light snores coming from the girl.

"Camz..?"

With no response, Lauren sighed disappointed and crawled in next to her after taking her clothes off.

"It's been 2 weeks now and all she ever wants to do is sleep with that pillow!" Lauren told her now friend, Justin, from the playground. They were sitting on the same bench as he watched his kids.

"The pillow is a bitch, it's totally replacing you right?" he asked.

"Totally, completely, she drags it everywhere" Lauren rolled her eyes at the thought.

"My wife, she drew eyes on hers"

"Woah"

"Yup, so when I went to make a move in the middle of the night, the pillow is staring at me like 'nope, I don't think so' " Justin shares.

"We used to have sex all the time. Everyday! Now I can't even touch her, I can barley go near her!" Lauren gets frustrated.

"Dude, she's pregnant, you can't win. The only one who wins is the pillow"

"Fuck that Pillow!"

"You might have to, I did once." Justin joked.

Lauren sits back and breathes in and out.

"This is gonna be fine. I'm gonna get through this. Everything's gonna be fine." She said to herself. "In a years time this is all gonna be a funny memory right?"

"That's Right! before you know it the kids will be in school and then you'll long for the days when a pillow, was your biggest problem.." Justin puts out there.
