Only You Can Save Me

"It's a..."

AN: It's a good thing she's already preggo.

Lauren and Camila didn't talk much after their disagreement the previous night about her job. Lauren spent the day at home while Camila was out with a client. She was waiting impatiently for her girlfriend to come and pick her up for the appointment where they would find out the sex of the baby. She was bouncing with excitement.

Unable to wait any longer, Lauren sat on the front porch and paced around waiting for her girlfriend to pull up in the driveway. She pulled out her phone and checked for any text messages saying that her girlfriend would be late...but nothing. She knew that she was being overly-anxious and excited, but she couldnt help it...it was her baby. She smiled when Camila pulled into the driveway and Lauren practically sprinted out to the car and got in the passenger seat. "About time you got here." She said as she buckled her seatbelt. "I was going crazy waiting."

Camila sighed softly as she rubbed her forehead. She wasn't expecting the traffic they had at 1 in the afternoon, but it was there. Camila pulled into the driveway and just shook her head as Lauren practically sprinted to the car.

"I got caught in traffic," she told her softly as she backed out of the driveway again and started toward the doctor's office. She bit her lip softly before reaching out for Lauren's hand as she drove. They may not have talked much the night before, or that morning, but this was still a big day for both of them. Camila needed Lauren's support just as much as Lauren needed hers.

Lauren sighed softly and relaxed into the seat. She smiled as Camila reached out for her hand...Lauren met her half way, lacing their fingers together and pulling their hands into her lap. She sat quietly as her girlfriend headed toward the doctor's office. She quietly closed her eyes and just listened to the soft sounds of the music playing. She was so excited.

The older woman looked over at Camila who looked like she wanted to talk or something. It was a little awkward just being silent, so she decided to speak, "So how was your appointment with the new client?" Lauren asked, trying to make conversation. She felt awkward because they barely said anything to each other in the last 24 hours.

Camila smiled some as Lauren spoke. "It's a young couple on the outskirts of Boulder. They just added an addition to their house..." she smiled softly. "A nursery for a little girl they're expecting. I don't get to do many nurseries." Camila glanced at her girlfriend at a red light and slowly stroked the side of her hand with her thumb.

Lauren smiled softly. "A nursery, huh?" She said as she looked out the window as Camila drove. She glanced over at her girlfriend. "Do you have any ideas for what you want to do with the baby's room in our house?" She asked softly as she ran her other hand over Camila's arm. She looked back out the window watching the other cars pass by. 

Camila took a deep breath. "I've thought of a few things, but I don't want to do anything until we know whether it's a boy or a girl. That will decide on the colors, you know?" 

Lauren nodded, "I think that you are far more suited than I am to come up with a design." She laughed softly. "But I can definitely help with colors." She smiled. 

"I'm sorry about yesterday..." Camila wasn't really sorry, she didn't want Lauren to go back on patrol, but she didn't like the awkwardness between them.

Lauren looked over at her girlfriend as she spoke again. "It's fine. I understand your concerns, but I don't want to stop doing something that I love." She said. She knew that the arguments about it wouldn't be over...but she pushed it aside for now. "Are you excited?"
