Whats A Soulmate? (Camren)

"...Looking for Me."

[Amelia]
Em and I finally made it back home. Our Abuelito dropped us off at home, they took us out for most of the day saying Mama and Mommy wanted to 'bond' or whatever. I'm not sure what that means but I hope they made some food while they 'bonded' cause I am starving. We made it to the kitchen and lucky for us there was a plate of freshly baked chocolate chip cookies on the counter. Both Em and I looked at each other before we get our twin telepathy on; she grabbed the plate of cookies while I went for the living room and our favorite blankets and turned the tv on ready to lounge and eat!

After about an hour and an empty plate between us Em speaks up "Hey, where are our moms? Wouldn't they have checked on us by now?" She questions. I think for a moment "yeah? I guess they would have. Maybe they are in the studio lets go check." I say taking the blanket off me and leading the way. We open the door and don't see anyone just the awesome room Mama made for Mommy, we both knew Mama was decorating it but we hadn't seen it completely finished until now. Wow it was amazing, we both drifted to the center of the room and just took in every small detail, from the plaques and awards they'd won throughout the years to the notebooks both old and new, to the pictures she had framed around the room, and other subtle little touches that made this room what it is; magical. "I don't know what else to say ...but this rooms pretty fucking dope!" Em looks over at me and we both can't contain our laughter. "Lets go find them you dork-" Em says pulling me away "-I bet they are upstairs in the office."

We leave the studio and walk up the stairs while commenting on how awesome the cookies were and that we should make brownies later on tonight. "Either brownies or rice krispie treats, Mama says I makes em' real good" Emma says as we round the corner into the office and nothing. We look at each other a bit confused, I make my way to Mamas room while Em goes to Moms to check if either of them are there. Down the hall I knock on mamas door but no answer, I peek my head in and again nothing. The bed doesn't even look like it's been touched, then I hear Emma call out for me I make my way to Mommy's room and notice Em is just peeking through the door she hasn't gone all the way in, when I get to her I realize why

Mama and Mommy fell asleep cuddling together! "Ahhh do you know what this means?!" I whisper to Em "This means we did it! We got our moms back together!" I shake Emma out of excitement! We both cheered to ourselves before quietly closing the door and making our way back downstairs.

"So do you think they'll get married again? I think I'd make a great flower girl!" I say while taking a seat on the counter "Uh aren't we too old to be flower girls? Besides I didn't see any rings, we shouldn't get our hopes up. Lets be realists for a second." Emma says as she grabs the rice crispy cereal and opens up the bag popping a couple in her mouth. "I am, mama loves mommy and mommy loves mama. Can't get anymore realistic than that." I counter back, she just shrugs me off while texting someone back on her phone. "How do you even know how to make these anyway?" I ask her as I help bring out the pan and marshmallows. "Lucy taught me one morning when we were younger, she actually helped me read the directions on the back of the cereal box when I was learning to read and once I was old enough and mama said it was ok she and I made them together." She says as she's stirring up the butter in the pan for it to melt. I look at my sister for a bit and I notice she's a little sad "You miss her...don't you?" I ask, not in a confrontational way...in a concerned way. She looks up at me and subtly nods her head "I do, she was the "second mom" if you will when we were separated. If Mama wasn't there I always knew Lucy would be. Please don't be mad at me Lia but just like it was hard for you in LA, it was lonely for me here sometimes. Like I said when Mama wasn't there because she was at work either in the studio or at a show or whatever I always counted on Lucy to be there. She taught me a lot growing up, she in no way replaces Mommy I love her obviously she's my mom. But I started seeing Lucy as a sort of mom figure too." Emma finished. "Please don't be mad Lia"
