Beautiful When You Don't Try

Chapter 100

           

"No. I'll be in later today." Lauren spoke into her cell phone. Meg had reached her stress limit this morning. She was left to deal with remodeling decision, a small portrait photo shoot, and wedding decisions as well. Not to mention that she would be solely in charge when Lauren and Camila headed to the cabin for the weekend and she was already stressing about that. "I'm sure you can handle it. Just remember, this is a business first, a place to discuss the wedding with your fiancé second. Kim needs to understand that as well."

Camila raised her brow as she sat next to Lauren in the exam room. They were there for the second sonogram which had to be pushed back a few weeks by a demanding schedule on Camila's end. With the wrap up of the affair scandal ending with Alisha being replaced on the show, the interviews were endless. They needed to get as much of the PR done before they left for their mini vacation and Lauren wanted Camila to be there for everything with the baby so they just waited a little while longer for this appointment.

"Meg, you can do this. I have faith in you. Do the shoot, answer the questions as best you can. We can always change them later. And just tell Kim that today is not a good day. That's all you have to say... No, she won't make you sleep in the guest room for that... Then you have some issues you need to work out before you get married... You're a push over... At least I admitted that a long time ago. You're still in denial. Camila and I talk and discuss things and I have my input. Kim just needs to loosen the reins a little..."

Camila tried to read the look on her wife's face but she couldn't quite place it... and it made her nervous.

"Hey. You tell her that she needs to calm the hell down and remember that I'm her boss... Tell her I'm not getting in your business. I'm trying to help my business partner relax and make it through her day... No, tell her I said that. Oh, please. She just-"

Camila took the phone from the fuming brunette. "Meg, yeah. Don't tell her that. Stick with 'today is not the day' Lauren is having a mild mood swing right now."

"No, I'm not."

"Yes, you are."

"Maybe you'll be the one sleeping in the guest room tonight."

The diva weighed the seriousness of the threat until the doctor came in. "Okay, well we have to go, Meg. The doctor's here. Bye." Camila put on a smile and grabbed the brunette's hand as she continued to scowl. "You were over reacting. So is Kim. She's stressed. And you're stressing. But you don't need to be stressing."

The doctor waited with her hand on the door, wondering if this was one of those days she was going to need to come back after the bickering but Lauren just took in a deep breath and sighed. The frustration vanished from her face. "Alright then. Let's take a look, shall we?"

Lauren lifted her shirt up to expose her stomach and Camila snuck a quick kiss to the large baby bump before the doctor prepared for the sonogram.

"So, today we get to have a much better look at our little guy in there." The doctor informed them. "We will see the fetal structure development, placental position, and amniotic fluid volume. All very important things to know."

Lauren just nodded and held Camila's hand tighter. She didn't know why but every time she came to the doctor's office, she was afraid that they were going to find something wrong with the baby. Camila told her that was just the mother in her and she just needed to relax, the baby would be fine. Part of her wanted to believe the brunette, but part of her found it impossible to. But this scan would tell her everything she needed to know. They'd know about any deformities or anything along those lines. Her worries would be put to rest after today.
