Our Mistake (Laurmani)(COMPLETED)

The New Addition

Lauren's  P.O.V.

Lorenzo Kordei Jauregui. 8 pounds 3 ounces. One of the cutest fucking babies I've ever laid eyes on and looks just like his mother, the dark skinned one. Nose, eyes, lips, everything from Mani but he has my hair and some of the deepest dimples ever. He came a little earlier than planned but he's fine. That birth...was the most disgusting thing I've ever seen in my life. I might not have sex with Normani for quite some time because that was just...ew. I wouldn't pass up that experience for anything though. Cutting the umbilical cord and holding his tiny little body close to mine. He yelled like hell for a while before he finally calmed down but all babies do. The hardest thing I had to do was agree to his circumcision but he'll thank me in the long run.

Our first day home was a little hectic. Normani was still sore and we didn't have a nurse to help very much. Lorenzo is a bit of a cry baby but he calms down pretty easily. Maya got over her disappointment of him being a boy and all she wanted to do was hold him. After he was born we let her help pick the name from a few choices and she picked Lorenzo. She said for a nickname she'd call him Leo but I put a stop to that, she wasn't gonna call him that and Leo actually come running to her so just calls him KJ instead. She's been helpful though, she'll get bottles and his pacifier and one night I woke up to check on him because he was crying and Maya was rubbing his stomach and singing to him, Sadly he didn't calm down but the attempt was priceless.

Now Lorenzo is a month old and just as cute. He cries a little less but not much has changed. Normani just gave KJ a bath and is trying to lay him down for his nap. He isn't complying though. He's just staring around the room and playing with his blanket. Normani sighs and plays with one of the curls in his head.

"Why won't you go to sleep?" She says softly as she rubs his stomach. He looks at her and smiles and I can't help but smile too. I've been watching them from my side of the bed for about ten minutes and he is just fascinated with his blanket and it must taste amazing to him. Yesterday it was his hands. I pick him up from the bed and lay him on my chest. He pushes his head up from my chest and smiles at me before his head falls. Normani and I chuckle and I rub his back.

"He's normally asleep by now." Mani says and I nod.

"Yeah but he's been sleeping later at night so maybe that's why."

"Okay baby expert." Normani says and I roll my eyes.

"I've read three baby books and anything I could find online. It would be a shame if I didn't learn something."

"Yes it would have." I grab KJ's hand and play with his fingers.

"I bet you never thought you'd have a little penis inside you." I joke and Normani smirks.

"I had a little penis inside me before I got pregnant with him." Son of a...

"Must have been one of your exes."

"Nope. It was you." She chuckles and I glare at her.

"That's not what you said when you were gagging on it." She stops laughing and I smirk.

"That was dramatic effect. To make you feel big," Normani laughs and lays back near the headboard then Maya comes in with Leo. She's the only kid I've seen that actually likes to read books. She's been reading all day and tried to read to KJ but he kept hitting the book with drool on his hands and it just didn't work out. She gets on the bed and lies in between Mani and I. Leo lays close to me on my left. KJ lifts his head and makes a high pitched noise with a smile and then hums as he lays his head back down.

"What are you guys talking about?" Maya asks and I shake my head.

"Mommy was just lying to herself." Maya looks confused and Normani looks at me with one eyebrow raised.

"Am I?" She asks and I nod.

"Definitely." Mani laughs again and I kick her leg. She slaps my arm and KJ makes a loud cooing sound.

"Can I go to Aunt Dinah's?" Maya asks.

"The kids aren't there." Normani says and Maya sighs.

"Can I go to James's house?" Maya asks.

"Sure." I say and she dashes out the room with Leo following. That's Maya's new bestfriend now or something who he lives right next door.

"I invited Aaron over tomorrow." Normani says.

"Why?" I ask as I rub Lorenzo back. I think he's sleep and there might be a pool of drool in the middle of my shirt. Great.

"Because we haven't seen him in awhile."

"About 6 weeks to be exact. We haven't seen him since this little monster was born." Normani nods and I maneuver to look down at Lorenzo. He's sleep so I slowly get up and carry him to his crib. After I lay him down I look out the window at Maya and James next door and then go sit in the living room. Normani comes and lies on the couch next to me with her head in my lap.

"You ever think about what would have happened if I hadn't run into Ally?" Mani asks. I never really thought about that.

"Well...I'm guessing I really would have missed out on a big chunk of Maya's life. I probably wouldn't have gotten kidnapped, we wouldn't have Lorenzo and I'd still be single."

"You'd be single?" She asks.

"Yep. I only ever saw myself with you so." I shrug and she nods.

"We sort of owe our life together, to Ally." I nod and flip through the channels.

"Yeah we do." Normani nods and says.

"I love you."

"I love you too." I say before she kisses me.

Normani's P.O.V.

Forgiveness is a powerful thing. I never really...I wish I hadn't held my grudge for so long. I've forgiven myself and Lauren and I have moved past it and my life couldn't be better. My son is amazing. My kids are the best things to happen to me and my family is my happiness. Lorenzo actually looks like he came from me, which I'm happy about. Lauren wanted to name him Pedro so that if he ever ran for class president, she could say vote for Pedro. I said no of course but I like Lorenzo. We had a hard time with the last name though because we haven't decided on our name change and Maya is already a Hamilton.

We haven't started planning our wedding yet. Lauren wants something big, like a huge wedding while I want something small and relatively private and we've been trying to find a way to please each other. We have set a date though and we want to be married by next year. Lauren and I both said if things don't work out with the wedding arrangements, we'll just go get our marriage license.

Life is really good right now but for some reason I keep expecting something to happen. Something seems to always happen but I can't think of anything else bad that could happen. I hope that the worst is over and for now on it can be smooth sailing. I guess only time will tell but I'll still hope for the best.
