Piece 60

Author's POV

"Are you ready?" Cheryl asked as she watched Camille carry her suitcase down the stairs.  Camille ran back up to the top of the stairs and grabbed her Mam's big suitcase.  Then she went back up again and grabbed her Mum's.

"You didn't have to do that." Cheryl pouted and pulled her daughter into her.  She held her daughter's head on her chest and kissed her forehead.

"You weren't gonna stop me." Camille said, making her mother giggle.  They stayed until the embrace until Kimberley walked into the house.

"Car is cooled off, bags need to go in the car, and then were all good to go." Kimberley said as she closed the front door.  They grabbed some waters and a snack to go.  They walked out of the house and got all the bags in the car.

"Seven and a half hours in a small enclosed space-" Cheryl said as they all got in the car.  Cheryl put her sunglasses over her eyes and listened to Camille cut her off.

"But with your two favorite people." The teen winked at her Mam from the backseat, making Cheryl giggle. Kimberley started the car and they were off on their journey.

Camille insisted that they drive because she doesn't want to get a private plane or a first class flight. She's never had an actual road trip with a family before, so she's was so keen on driving. Cheryl and Kimberley understood, but they just wanted to hop on a small flight.

"Aww, she's so cute." Cheryl cooed as she looked in the backseat and saw her daughter laying down.  Her pillow was leaning on the door and she was all bundled up in a blanket.  Cheryl took a picture of her sleeping daughter and showed it to Kimberley who couldn't see the teen.

"Aww." She pouted and smiled at how cute their daughter is.  They just continued to quietly talk to each other, careful not to wake the teen.

"So much for 'driving as a family'." Cheryl tutted, making Kimberley chuckle. They shared a sweet smile before Cheryl tried dozing off herself.

"How does she sleep in the car?" Cheryl asked as she lifted her head up and opened her eyes. She's always impatient and can't get herself to  sleep in cars.

"Because she has the whole backseat plus a pillow." Kimberley giggled at her girlfriend. She saw the pout painted on Cheryl's face and found it so cute.

A few moments later, Camille woke up and slightly sat up. She was surprised that there wasn't a crook in her neck or any sore spots. Cheryl looked at the teen after hearing her waking up.

"Hey, you tired?" Cheryl asked and put her hand in the back seat.  She put her hand on the teen's leg and made her smile.

"A little." Camille yawned and looked up at her mother.  She's using that baby voice that she puts on when she wants something.

"Go back to sleep, bub." Cheryl said, ignoring the baby voice.  She just simply smiled at her yawning daughter.

"I can't." Camille pouted and looked up at her Mam's big brown eyes.

"Why?" Cheryl asked and pouted back at her adorable daughter.  She was dying at the cuteness from the teen wrapped in the large and fluffy blanket.

"Because I don't have anyone to cuddle with." Camille secretly pleaded for her Mam to come to the backseat with her.  Cheryl playfully rolled her eyes and unbuckled her seatbelt.
