The Art of Us

Chapter Three

Normani's POV

A year later.

I can't believe it's been a year since I went to see the girls in Cuba after everything happened. A month or two after they flew me home, I found out I was pregnant with Arin's kid. At first I wanted to get an abortion, but after talking to Lauren and Camila I decided to keep the baby.

Arin was arrested and is serving a life sentence, turns out, I wasn't the only girl he had raped, however, I was the only one that escaped before he could kill me.

Now, I have a two month old son, Jaxson Carter Cabello. Camila decided to adopt him after we fixed our relationship. It wasn't long after I found out that I was pregnant that she asked me to marry her and three months later we were married.

I decided against a honeymoon, so instead we stayed a week at Disneyworld.

Lauren and I have grown closer and sometimes we get someone to watch the kids just so all three of us can go out on a date.

Both Lauren and I decided to get our tubes tied after we had our last kid each, and Camila was happy about that. She really hated wearing condoms.

Kinsley ran past me.

"Kinsley, get your fairy butt back here, right now young lady, so I can finish your face paint for your costume." Lauren's voice brought me out of my thoughts. She sounded stressed.

"But mom." Kinsley whined, stamping her foot.

"Don't 'but mom' me. Get your butt back her right now." Lauren said, running her fingers through her hair.

Kinsley huffed and stomped back over to her mother. She jumped up on the chair.

Lauren sighed and kneeled down in front of her daughter. She began painting her face again.

Smiling softly, I looked around at all of the kids and their costumes

Kinsley was a fairy, she had grown out of the whole Bunny and Rabbit phase, even though she loved when Camila called her one.

Asher had decided he was going to be Sully from Monsters Inc, which had become his new favorite movie.

Aliyah was a pink and purple butterfly, butterflies have become her new favorite thing, even though she's always loved butterflies.

Of course, Oliver was Stitch, which he claimed would always be his costume.

Luke was dressed as a monkey, which was really cute, he claimed since Camila always called him monkey, then he would be one.

Scarlett was a duck, I swear we are going to have to fight her out of that costume. While Hazel was a black and white kitten, she was already falling asleep.

My smile grew as I looked at the small Lion in my arms, Camila had taken to calling Jaxson, Lion, because his hair was so thick for a two month old.

Elijah was in the process of getting ready to be a frog, his Uncle Zayn helping him. He was excited when we went to the costume store and he saw a frog costume, he claimed BoBo would have wanted him to be a frog.

Poor BoBo got sick and died a month after Camila and Lauren came home.

Camila was in the process of putting Preston in his puppy costume, having done the facepaint first.

Raven had decided to be a vampire, and was sitting patiently as she waited for Victoria to get her face paint.

We had become close with Tori and her now fiancé Avan, they were actually now in a show with Ariana and Elizabeth called Victorious.
