Whats A Soulmate? (Camren)

"I Hope I'm Not Dissapointing You"

[Lauren/Camila]

"I don't get what the big deal is! It's not like it's some big surprise!" I'm frustrated, I'm frustrated that I came out here with my daughter to join my other daughter with the intention of making their birthday one to remember. A memory that they can look back on and enjoy. Instead I'm frustrated that they can't seem to get their attitudes in check long enough to not be brats to my girlfriend.

"Lauren I know ok, I'm sorry it's my fault-"
"No! It's not, you're not the one that's being an ass when you're the only one who really should be!"
"Laur, just try to calm down ok it's the day before their birthday and .... I think they just wanted it to be us."
"What makes you say that? Did they say anything to you?"
"Amelia told me she had a dream that the four of us were together. That she dreamt that we were together and happy."

I can't help but just think; why isn't Camila pissed that Lucy is here? Why isn't she an ass to her like our daughters have been all afternoon? I start to think why and then I just turn and ask her.

"Oh..." ask her "Hey, why are you so nice to Lucy?"
"Huh? What do you mean?" She asks almost as if she seems genuinely confused I even asked.
"Yeah...like I said, you of all people should be the one that's pissed. I mean- we..you and I-"
"Lauren" she giggles "I like her because..well because you like her, you trust her enough to bring her around our kids and your family and me. Why would I try to ruin a good thing for you? Just because it didn't work out between us, doesn't mean it can't work out with anyone else."

I look at Camila in front of me and the words she just uttered are the very reason why I fell in love with her. She's compassionate, she's kind, honest, doesn't have a single bad bone in her body.

"And why didn't it? Camz?" I see her a little taken back by the sudden nickname that I haven't called her since we split, it just felt natural in this moment. "Why didn't it work out between us?"
She sighs "oh, Laur we were young and stupid. We fell too fast, we were bound to crash sooner or later. We argued over stupid shit-"
"Every couple does. What was so different about us? And if memory serves me right, you left me-"
"And you didn't come after me."
"I...I- I didn't know you wanted me to."

[Emma/Amelia]

"Mama's pissed I can tell" I pace Amelia's bedroom wondering what kind of punishment Mama is coming up with.
"Relax" Lia says all nonchalant "It's our birthday tomorrow, what's the worst that could happen?"
I stop dead in my tracks "Uh, we could get sent to boarding school in Timbuktu! We'll never see Mommy again and then Mama will end up marrying Lucy and then our whole lives are ruined!!!"
"Stoppppp! You're overreacting. What we need to do is get Mama out of the room with Mommy and get her alone with Lucy." Lia starts grinning.
"Why would we do that? That's the complete opposite of what we are trying to accomplish here, have you not been paying attention to anything!!!"

Suddenly our bedroom door opens startling us both

"Woahhh what's with all the yelling twins?!?"
"Aunt Dinah!!!!" We couldn't be happier to see auntie Dinah, which means Auntie Mani and Ally are here too. We need all the help we can get if we're gonna pull this off.
"So what's up short stuffs? I could hear you pacing and yelling all the way from the front door, and this place is huge so what's up?" Dinah asks seriously
Both Amelia and I look to each other then back at auntie Dinah
"You love Mama right?" I ask
"Yeah?"
"You love Mommy, right?" Lia asks
"Yes?"
"How do you feel about Lucy?" I ask, this time a bit quietly
She sternly looks at us both "What the hell are you two plotting?"

------------

"Honestly girls, in the grand scheme of things she's not that bad. She's actually really nice and kind and she takes great pictures" Ally says cheerfully trying to get everyone on board
"Of course she takes great pictures, she's a freaking model Ally!" Mani says
"Whatever" Ally scuffs
"Ok so wait, run through the plan again" Dinah asks the twins
"What plan?" Lauren says as her and Camila make their way into the twins room startling all five girls who were huddled together in a circle in the middle of the room.

"Ohh nothing we were just asking where they wanted to go tomorrow-"Dinah starts
"Right tomorrow for their-" Ally continues
"Birthday! Yep their birthday the big uno y uno! Right!" Mani finishes

Both Lauren and Camila look at all the eyes starting back at them with confusion and almost wanting to say "What the fuck?" Obviously they can't they've got two eleven year olds in the room who are very impressionable. Eventually Mani, Dinah, and Ally get the picture and make their way to exit the room to leave the mothers and daughters alone. But not before Camila subtly pulls Dinah aside and quickly whispers "we're going to talk about whatever that was." She points towards the room and then gives her a stern look meaning she's serious before turning her attention back to Lauren and the twins.

"Ok, here's the deal" Lauren quickly jumps into it while clapping her hands together starling both the twins and Camila "No more being mean to Lucy, or anyone for that matter! We raised you girls to be kind hearted good girls, not what you've demonstrated this whole afternoon. I don't like punishing you guys especially right before your birthday but I will because there are consequences for the actions you take."
"Mama we're really sorry we just wanted it to be us four and then when Mommy said she was bringing her girlfriend and you were bringing Lucy-"
"What?" Lauren cuts Emma off and turns to Camila
"You're dating someone?"
Camila kinda sidesteps the question and continues on with the girls punishment "Still girls, you weren't being nice and we taught you better than that. So the day after your birthday you're on 'house arrest' so no going out with grandparents or aunties and no phone for either of you. Got it?"
"Yes ma'am" both girls say in unison
"Ok, go downstairs and see if grandma needs help with dinner. Lia stay so we can talk for a bit yeah." Lauren says she looks to Camila who gives her a reassuring smile as she walks out with Emma attached at her hip.

"How's everything babe? Despite what happened this afternoon?"
"Mama, I'm sorry I just...I don't know..I just. It surprised me seeing you with her again."
"Nugget, you and your sister mean the absolute world to me. I would do anything for you guys, I mean anything." Lauren pauses for a bit "Hon, is there a reason you don't like Lucy?"
Amelia starts sniffling "She's not Mommy"
"Babe" Lauren wraps Amelia up in her arms "Babe, you don't have to get upset...I know our family isn't the ideal family dynamic but...I'm sorry I can't give you what you want. I hope I'm not disappointing you."
"Mama we love you-"
"Yeah babe I know and I-"
"No Mama we love you."
"Amelia-"
"WE love you."
