Ethereal

Epilogue

*3 years later*

"Mommy!" The three year old screamed. Lauren silenced her quickly, not wanting to disturb the others in the airport.

"What is it Alexia?" Lauren practically whined, feeling an oncoming headache.

Usually, she wouldn't be this annoyed, but she got up and dragged both of her three year old daughters to the airport at two in the morning. The twins, Lexi especially, were very difficult to wake up. Once Lexi was awake she was a ball of energy. Hayley, her twin sister, was a little bit more laid back and chill. Hayley was definitely attached to both her mothers and practically never left their sides.

People might call them insane for wanting to have kids the same year they get engaged and married. But they didn't want to have it any other way. And sure, being a 22 and 23 year old with two 3 year old daughters was difficult, but it was the best decision they ever made.

And they were thriving. Not only was fifth harmony the most successful band ever created and still on going, but everyone was finally happy. Ally has been seeing a guy called Troy, Normani and Dinah have been dating for just under a year now, and Camila and Lauren's relationship has never been better.

Having kids healed Camila in a way that no one else ever could have. She realized that having kids, she needed to set good examples for her daughters. Having kids helped her recovery for her eating disorder in ways she couldn't understand. And though nothing was absolutely 100% better, this is the healthiest Camila has ever been.

Though, she did have a few slip ups, and even now, she has her off days, but that was to be expected. The recovery for anorexia wasn't going to take months or years even, it was a lifelong process. But Camila was truly better.

"Mommy!" Lexi called again, breaking Lauren out of her thoughts.

"What babygirl, what do you need?"

"Where is momma?" The toddler questioned, crossing her arms.

"She should be getting off the plane soon okay? We're going to wait right here for her." Lexi nodded, satisfied with the answer her mom had given her. She turned her attention towards the large glass window, watching planes take off and land, thankfully keeping her distracted and calm for the moment.

"Did something bad happened on the airplane?" Hayley questioned, cocking her head to side.

"No, of course not, why would you ask that?" Lauren asked her daughter, pulling her on top of her lap.

"Momma always gets worried when the plane lands right? She doesn't like it. Does something bad happened when the plane lands?"

Lauren smiled at her daughters innocence and caring nature. "She doesn't like it because it's a little scary. Do you remember what it's like to be on a plane? You were just on one a couple of days ago when we had to fly back here to Miami." Hayley nodded. "When it lands, it's a little bit bouncy, like this." Lauren bounced her knee up and down slightly, making the three year old giggle.

"She don't like that?" Lauren shook her head. "I do, it was fun."

"I think it's a little scarier when you're on a giant airplane and you're flying around." She picked the small girl off her lap telling her to 'put her arms out like a bird' and then spun her around pretending to be an airplane.

"Me too mommy!" Lexi begged, reaching her arms up towards her mother.

Lauren nodded and set Hayley down and then spun Lexi around. That was the thing about having twins. If one saw the other doing something, she had to do it too. Though Lauren and Camila never minded.

"Look! There's momma!" Lexi yelled loudly. She scrambled out of Lauren's arms and started walking over towards Camila. She stopped when she realized Hayley wasn't following her but was attached to Lauren's side. "Cmon Hay, lets go."

Before Lauren could stop them they both took off running. She sighed and stood on her tiptoes, surveying the crowd for her daughters. Before she could even take one step forward Camila emerged from the crowd of strangers with a kid attached to each hip.

Lauren gave Camila a big smile as she continued to walk towards her. Her heart swelled in adoration seeing her wife holding her green eyed twins. Though this was a sight she was used to seeing, something just felt different about this moment.

It was as if the time stood still in that moment. Seeing her wife stand in front of her with her daughters on her hips. Everything just made sense. This moment right here made all the struggles, the heartbreaks, and the downs all worth it. Everything they've ever gone through was worth it if this was the outcome. The depression and the struggles of Camila's anorexia taught them all lessons. Like to cherish the happiness once you had it because you still remember what it felt like to be sad. And that's what they were doing every single day. And the truth is, Lauren and Camila have never been as happy as they were now at this point in their life. And their happiness was all that mattered.
