(DISCLAIMER: Okay so I'm not a doctor and have only done research so I'm sorry if this isn't accurate.)
Also, I'm not very happy with this chapter but I wanted to get something up.
"Girls, come on! We're going to be late!" Ally calls frustratedly from the bottom of the stairs.
Dinah was already in the car with Lauren as they knew it would be best to prepare their youngest daughter before taking her to the doctor's office. They had told her about it the day before but were fully aware of how anxious the toddler could get if she wasn't told roughly how things were going to go, even if they weren't sure themselves.
"What are you two doing up there? Come on!" She calls again, not having received a reply the first time.
"Coming, Mama!" Normani shouts back as she pulls a pair of cotton shorts out of Camila's drawers and helps her little sister into them. "Do they feel better, Mila?"
"Mhm, my top's itchy too, Nori." The younger girl sniffles, tugging on her shirt frustratedly as a whine escapes her lips.
"It's okay, calm down, Nemo. Take it off and I'll get you another one." The nine year old soothes, moving to Camila's closet and grabbing the softest shirt she can find. "Try this one, okay?"
The tiny girl nods, allowing her sister to help her into another shirt as their mother shouts for them to hurry up again. "Is that one better, Mila?" She checks, smiling when the five year old nods and lets herself be manoeuvred into a pale pink jacket.
"Okay, let's go." She grins, slipping on her own jacket before grabbing Camila's hand and leading her downstairs.
"What have you girls been doing?" Ally questions, lifting Camila into her arms and following Normani outside. "Why is Camila changed? You know what? Never mind, it doesn't matter, we need to go. Get in the car please, Mani."
After making sure all three little ones are strapped in, the shorter blonde climbs into the driver's seat, starting the car and pulling out of the driveway.

"Tell your Mom we'll be back before dinner to pick up the girls, okay?"
"Sure." Dinah nods, helping Normani and Camila out of the car. "I'll be right back." She smiles, leading her daughters up the path towards her parent's house and quickly thanking her Mom for watching the girls before hurrying back to the car.
"Mama?" Lauren asks quietly around her pacifier.
"Lo, where did you get that? You know you're only supposed to have your paci at night, baby." Dinah sighs, turning in her seat and reaching for the pacifier.
"No, Mommy!" The toddler argues, raising a hand to cover the beloved soother in her mouth.
"Just leave her, D. She can keep it until we get there." Ally inputs as she makes a right turn. "What's up, baby?"
