Beautiful When You Don't Try

Chapter 110

The boys were the first to go into the room to meet her. Camila had the tiny five pound, one ounce baby girl in her arms with her full head of dark brown hair sticking out of the pink and purple blanket she was wrapped in. Lauren held on to the boys' hands so they didn't rush forward and tackle the tired and tender woman who was nothing but soft smiles. Even Gabriel was silent as Lauren lifted him and his brother up on the bed so he could get a better look at his little sister.

"Dis is her?"

Camila nodded her head, pulling the blanket away from her daughter's face as her wife walked around to the other side of the bed, her eyes glued to the baby just like both boys. "This is her. This is your sister."

"She's so small." Julian whispered as he rested the side of his head on Camila's shoulder so he could see around his brother.

"You two were smaller when you were born." Lauren stated. She had her arm propped up against the elevated head of the bed and was running her fingers through Camila's hair messed hair. "In fact, Gabe was half her size."

"Whoa." Gabriel pulled his head back in awe of the fact that he was ever that small.

"Yeah."

He hesitantly reached out to touch the baby and then looked to both women for approval. Camila nodded her head and he touched her little hand. "She doint look wreal."

"She's real, Buddy." Lauren assured him, gently running a single finger over the baby's hair, straightening it a little. "She's real." The brunette was almost having to tell herself that she was real. Lauren had pulled an identical move as Camila when she first saw the baby being handed to them and completely forgot to let go of the diva's hand. Her eyes, mind, and every last drop of attention was on that tiny brunette as she silently wished for her to open her eyes, hoping to see Camila's looking back at her when she did. Then again, all babies' eyes are lighter than they will become when they're born. But she still wanted to see a shade of brown.

Even now, Lauren's attention was only pulled away when she heard the familiar click of a camera. Meg and the rest of the company were standing in the door way, the woman with Lauren's camera in her hand. "That one is totally going on the office wall. The studio office wall."

Lauren huffed a laugh. "When are we all going to stop referring to the nursery as my office still? You even have me doing it."

"Well, when you say 'nursery' we think the boys room still. That probably won't change until you all get a new place anyway. Now... enough about room names. We need to see this little girl."

To prevent Camila from feeling smothered by everyone standing around her, she kept the boys with her on the bed and let Lauren walk around to everyone who took a seat in the slew of chairs the nursing staff had to bring in.

"Oh, by the way, Camila." Kim interrupt the baby cooing to address the diva. "Scott and Dinah called and told me to tell you that they send their congratulations, but that they are also mad at you for not waiting until they were back in state. They'll be here the day after tomorrow."

Camila shrugged. "I'll take a play out of Lauren's book and say that they can take it up with the baby if they're really that upset." She joked as much as she could with as tired as she was. "I'm just glad my fathers who have yet to even acknowledge my existence since they arrived, made it in time." She teased and both men smiled sheepishly in shame before standing up and moving over to greet their daughter.

In a game of musical chairs, Ally slid down to take their place in line to see the baby next, much to Kevin's chagrin. "Suck it up Kevie. I'm going to be here for a whole month. Enjoy the competition."
