The Art of Loving You

Chapter Two

Hey everyone! Sorry I didn't update on Friday, I was out of state all weekend. Went to Ocean City, Maryland with my family. Anyways, here is chapter two!~Britt

Lauren's POV

"Hey, you feeling any better?" Rachel asked as she set a plate of breakfast in front of me.

I was really missing Camila, and could barely sleep at night.

I shook my head, staring at the food. I wanted so badly to turn the food away, but I had to eat not for myself but for this baby.

"Do you want me to call Camila?" She asked, running a hand over my back.

Quinn walked into the kitchen with a sleepy and whiny Lucas. "I don't wanna wake up." He whined as tears fill his eyes. "Mama's not home when I wake up."

"She'll be home soon. Look mommy's here." Quinn said softly, pointing at me.

He shook his head and stomped his feet as tears slid down his cheeks. "I want mama!" He sobbed out.

I felt a little bit hurt by this, but I got up and kneeled down in front of him. "Buddy, do you want to talk to her?" I asked, softly. I reached out to wipe his tears away. If he didn't stop crying, he'd wake Kinsley and then all hell would break loose.

He immediately nods his head and wraps his arms around my neck as he continued to sob.

Pulling out my phone, I quickly go into Skype and hit call.

"Hey baby," Camila's tired voice fills the room as she appears on the screen.

"Hey." I smiled, holding back my own tears. "Buddy, look." I said to Lucas as I turned him around to face camila.

"Hey monkey, what's wrong?" Concern filled her voice and she ran her hand through her hair, she looked exhausted.

"Miss you." He sobbed.

Camila frowned and took a deep breath. "I miss you too little man, I won't be gone much longer." She said before her eyes shifted to me. "Laur, are you okay? You look even more tired than you did yesterday."

"I didn't get much sleep." I mumbled, running my fingers through my hair.

"I'm sorry baby, I wish I was there." Her expression changed as she looked over the phone, mumbling a few things before nodding. "Laur, I have to go, we're running drills. I love you."

Before I could respond, she hung up.

I sighed. "See buddy, she's fine." I said softly before yawning.

He held his arms out to me ad silent tears fell down his cheeks. "Mommy, tired." he said softly, letting out a yawn.

I smiled at him softly. "Yeah, but Mommy's got to go to school." I said, ruffling his hair.

His lips turned down in a frown that was completely identical to Camila's. "Mommy stay with me, no leave."

"I have to. It's my last year of school." I said softly.

Tears slid down his cheeks and he shook his head, wrapping his arms around me. "Mommy no leave!"

His yell was loud enough that Kinsley's piercing cries filled the silence of the house.

I sighed closing my eyes. "Rach, would you get her?"

Without saying a word, Rachel left the room.

I opened my eyes to look at Lucas.

"I'm sorry," he whispered looking down. "I-I'll leave mommy alone."

This was another thing he had going for him that was much like Camila.
