Irresistible

Chapter 14

Two years later.

Camila sighed, running her fingers through her hair. "Laur, Q, dinner's ready."

Quinn skipped into the dining room. Her leg was fully healed and she was ecstatic. She didn't have to sit in a stupid wheelchair anymore.

Lauren trudged into the dining room after her, looking down at her feet and biting her lip. She wasn't in the mood to eat. She hadn't been in the mood to eat since Normani died. She had lost a lot of weight and was basically living on water.

The kids were with Clara and Alejandro for the night because Lauren, Quinn and Camila needed some bonding time together.

There was a soft knock on the door.

Camila frowned. "Who could that be." She sighed and slowly walked over to the door, unlocking it and opening it.

"Hi." A soft yet familiar voice said from the doorway.

Camila looked up, blinking a few times to make sure her eyes weren't playing tricks on her.

Giggling softly, the person on the other side put the young little girl in her arms down and stepped forward. "I'm real."

Camila rubbed her eyes with the back of her hands. "Mani?!" She gasped.

Smiling softly, the dark-skinned girl reached out and caressed Camila's cheek. "I've missed you."

Camila covered her mouth with her hand as tears filled her eyes. She backed away from Normani, shaking her head. "You're dead." She said.

"Mama," the little girl that Normani had put down said, pulling on Normani's shirt.

Looking down, Normani picks up a little girl that looks almost identical to Camila. "What's wrong Prue?" She asked softly.

"She looks like me." The little girl said pointing at Camila.

"Cami, the food is getting cold." Quinn said softly, walking into the hall. She froze upon seeing Normani.

Normani smiles and caresses her daughter's cheek. "That's because she's your mommy."

"What?!" Camila asked, shaking her head. She began mumbling to herself as she backed away from Normani.

The smile fades from Normani's lips and she looks at Camila with a sad expression. "Mila, this is Prudence Jade Cabello. Your daughter."

Camila shook her head. "You're dead, we buried you." She said, tears falling from her eyes and a sob escaped her lips.

"The hospital and police faked my death." Normani said softly, looking down, she was prepared for Camila to scream at her and make her leave.

"Why? Why would you do that? Do you know what you've put us through? Do you know what you've put Lauren through? You broke her!" Camila sobbed, falling back against the wall weakly. She sobbed loudly.

Upon hearing the commotion and her name, Lauren walked slowly out into the hall and froze.

Closing her eyes, Normani takes a deep breath and forces back her own tears before looking back up. "I didn't have a choice, I wasn't conscious when the decision was made."

"You could have come back!" Camila snapped before she got up and stormed away. She wasn't angry but she felt betrayed. She was just starting to get over Normani's 'death' when she showed up.

"I wanted to, but they wouldn't let me." Normani whispered, shifting the confused three year old on her hip. "I'm sorry." She said before turning to walk away.
