Lauren had a busy day between classes and working that afternoon. She was beyond excited to get home and be with her family. Things between her and Camila had gotten back to normal in the last couple months. Lauren parked the car in the driveway as she got out and went inside. "Babe?" She called out as she set her bag down.

Not hearing any commotion, she looked around the first floor, walking into the living room. Lauren walked over to the sliding door and saw some movement outside. Smiling to herself, she walked out the back door and moved to sit on the steps of the deck as she watched her wife and Taylor in the yard. She wasnt going to tell Camila that she was home, but just wait for the woman to realize that she was sitting there watching them.

Camila continued to laugh as Taylor attempted to throw his ball at her. "Good try, baby." She told him before she picked the ball up and started toward her son. Camila giggled some as Taylor started laughing and ran away from her.

Over the past 6 months, the boy had become a pro at walking and even started running now. "Get back here, munchkin." Camila called out to him, causing him to let out a squeal as he realized his mami was getting closer to him. 

Lauren couldn't help but smile softly to herself as she watched her wife and son playing together in the yard. She loved how active Taylor was and the fact that he constantly wanted to be outside. Lauren watched as Camila chased Taylor. She smiled widely as she saw the little boy's legs move faster as he tried to get away from her. 

"Mami no." He yelled just before spotting Lauren. "Momma!" He turned his attention toward Lauren as he started running toward her.

Lauren leaned back as she saw Taylor look at her. "Hi, bud." She said as she leaned forward and the little boy came charging toward her. Once he got to her she scooped him up in her arms and kissed his face over and over. 

"Ew! Momma! No!" He said as he tried to wiggle out of her grip. 

Camila couldn't contain her grin as she watched Taylor and Lauren together. "Hey you." She greeted her wife softly.

Lauren looked up and smiled at Camila, "Hi, baby."

Camila sat down on the steps of the deck beside her wife. "We've been out here since we finished lunch. He's got so much energy." Camila leaned back onto the deck and looked up at the sky. "Now he can tire you out some." Taylor continued to wiggle in Lauren's grasp before he was able to get down on the ground and run off after his ball.

Lauren looked over at her wife as the woman sat down next to her. She ticked Taylor as the little boy wiggled his way out of her hold. She chuckled softly to her wife, "He will never tire me out." She said jokingly, "You on the other hand." She said before kissing Camila softly and standing up. 

Camila chuckled before letting out a shaky breath before resting her hands on her stomach. "I think I have a bug starting on me."

Lauren looked at her wife and frowned. "Yeah? How come?" She asked as she reached down to brush some hair from Camila's face. "Your stomach hurting?" She asked softly.

"I've just been feeling queasy all day long. And him running me around hasn't been helping at all." Camila didn't think anything of it. She encountered hundreds of people each day so it was only a matter of time before someone got her sick. "Now that you're home, you can play with him and keep him busy."

Lauren smiled down at her wife. She listened as the woman told her how she was feeling. She had a thought in the back of her mind, but she didn't know if she should bring it up or not. "I'm sorry, love." She said as she looked to her wife. Lauren leaned down and rested her hands on the woman's thighs before kissing her lips tenderly. "We can cuddle tonight and have a relaxing family movie night if you want." She said softly.
