Lauren's daughter goes missing just two hours after she was born. The police find her three years later in the hands of someone you'd least expect. It's up to Lauren to try and give her baby a second chance at life whilst also coming to terms with w...
Lauren sighs defeatedly and sets the spoon that was once full apple sauce down onto the table. It was now a few hours later after the puking episode, and she would have thought Camila would have wanted to eat something by now, but nope, no matter how hard she tried, it wasn't happening.
She understood her hesitance, of course did, she never wants to eat after puking either, but this was different than someone typically just being sick and not wanting to eat; she didn't know when the tiny girl had last eaten something and kept it down.
If her size was anything to go to by, she guesses it to be a while.
"Alright, I guess we'll try again soon " she murmurs, a heavy sigh escaping her lips. She stands up and picks up the unused food, leaving a sniffling Camila sat in her highchair, a tiny pout on her lips.
Just as she closes the fridge, she hears her baby's stomach complain at the lack of food, causing her to tear up. Camila was hungry, possibly even starving, and yet she was still refusing food in fear of throwing up again.
Blinking away her tears, she glances at the time in the corner of the room and see's it's nearing seven pm, a time she deems perfect for a three years olds bedtime.
Walking back over to the girl, she unbuckles the strap and pulls the tray off before lifting the girl into her arms, making sure to support her leg before standing up straight.
"Time for bed my love" she says as she begins walking upstairs.
While the girl was napping earlier on, she had managed to bring everything in from the car and taken it upstairs. She had yet to put anything together as she wasn't meant to leave her baby unattended, so that would be something she'd have to do when everything's not as tense.
"Be'?" Camila asks, trying to ignore the funny feeling in her tummy.
The three year old didn't really understand why she was sick earlier, nor did she understand why her body didn't seem to like food, but if eating made her sick then she didn't want to do it ever again.
Camila lays her head down onto her mother's shoulder just seconds before she speaks again.
"Yeah, bed. You wanna come sleep with mama?" The green eyed girl asks, walking into her room. It was still a little messy, but right now that was the least of her worries.
The tiny girls eyes widen when she's placed down onto the bed, and Lauren has to stop the wide smile from escaping her lips. She decides to leave the girl to look around while she gets everything ready for bed, knowing it didn't really matter if she missed her new bedtime by a few minutes.
She grabs a new diaper along with some baby wipes, and after a few minutes of picking between two sets of pyjamas, she decides on a onesie that says,'the snuggle is real' along with some Bambi pyjama pants to go with it.

"Alright monkey, time for some clean pyjamas" she coos to the girl who was now lead on her stomach as she sets the picked out clothes next to her small body.
