Chapter Eleven

Hey guys! Here's yet another chapter for you, keep an eye out for a new book I'm posting. 'Irresistible.'~Britt

Lauren's POV

I missed Camila like crazy. I barely sleep, even with Normani hugging me, it's just not the same. I need her.

The months were bringing me closer to my due date, and I didn't want to have Oliver without Camila being here.

"Hey." Mani said softly, caressing my cheek before wincing and gripping her stomach.

"Mani?" I asked, frowning and sitting up slightly.

She closed her eyes and held onto her stomach, releasing a shaky breath. "I'm okay."

"Are you sure?" I asked, eyeing her suspiciously.

"No." She breathed out, taking a deep breath. "I think the twins are coming, but it's too soon."

"What?" I turned to her, beginning to panic before feeling a painful stab in my stomach. I couldn't help but cry out in pain.

Suddenly Rachel, Quinn, and Zayn come rushing into the room.

"What's wrong?" Quinn asks worriedly, moving over to me while Rachel moves to Mani.

Normani took a deep breath, "My water just broke." She says looking down at the growing puddle on the bed.

"Babies." I squeaked, closing my eyes in pain. I felt Quinn wrap her arms around me, rubbing my back softly.

"Shh, you're okay, Laur. You're going to be okay." She said softly.

Normani let's out a muffled scream against Rachel's shoulder.

"You need to get home now, like right now." I heard Zayn on the phone, but I was in to much pain to say anything.

"Can either of you walk to the car?" Quinn asked softly.

"I can try." Normani said.

I pointed to the crutches that were resting against the wall. I still hadn't been to see a doctor about my ankle. I didn't have time because of school and besides what was the point, it was still sore.

Zayn walked over and lifted me into his arms, while Rachel helped Mani stand up.

"Mom is going to come sit with the kids." He said softly as he carried me out of the room, Quinn grabbing my crutches and following.

Everything after we got to the hospital was a blur, Mani and I were put into the same room thankfully after yelling at the nurses.

We were just waiting on the babies to decide to come out since we weren't completely dialated yet, it was almost four in the morning.

A knock on the door catches our attention. "Sorry I'm late, ran into some problems." A familiar voice says.

I turned slightly to see Camila. I looked at her through half closed eyes. I was tired. I wanted to sleep, but I was told I couldn't, not until the baby was here.

She walked over to the bed and kissed my forehead softly before walking over and doing the same to Normani.

"How are my girls?" She asked, sitting in the chair between our beds.

I shifted on the bed uncomfortably. "Tired...uncomfortable." I managed to get out.

Normani just groaned in response, her eyes barely staying open.

"I'm sorry for leaving." She said softly, reaching her hands out and grabbing ours.

I shook my head, closing my eyes for a brief moment. I opened them and shifted on the bed again. I was in so much pain, I just wanted to go to sleep.
