Normani stood for another hour they didn't do much talking about the situation because Amelia would not leave Lauren's side. So they just all watched a movie instead.
"Well I better get going guys. I'm having dinner with my parents tonight." Normani said as she stood up from the couch.
"Awww auntie Mani.... no go.. I misseded you." Amelia said pouting from Lauren's lap.
"And I missed you too melly. But I'll see you tomorrow for the bbq your mommies are throwing remember?"
Amelia eyes went wide because she did forget. Then she started bouncing up and down on Lauren's lap grinning. "Yay bbq!! Everyone is coming Mani!" Amelia says beaming. "My mommies have a surprise. But I no know it yet. But they say they tell me before everyone comes." Amelia says happily.
Normani smiles at Amelia. "Well then I guess I'll see you tomorrow then. And maybe you can tell me the surprise." Normani says with a wink.
Amelia turns and looks at Lauren then at Camila they both shake their heads no. So Amelia turns back to Normani and shakes her head no with a smile and a thumbs up where her mommies couldn't see it or well atleast she thought they couldn't see it.
Camila gets up and walks Normani to the door. "I'm really am sorry to hear about you and Dinah, Mani."
"Gurrl don't be." Normani reponds back as she gives her a hug. "This is something Dinah needs to work out on her own. If time is what she needs then time is what she'll get."
"But how do you feel about everything?"
"Honestly. I don't know. When she first left I was devastated but as the weeks have passed I'm coming to terms with it. I love her you know, we were together for a long time. But now knowing what I know. I think she does need this time to figure herself out. I miss her like crazy and I feel like I will always love her. But she needs to be 100% positive that being with me is what she really wants. So when she's ready to talk will talk. Till then I just gotta keep my head up and figure my own heart out. And you know what they say, what's meant to be will be."
Camila gave Normani another tight hug. "I'm glad your staying positive Mani. If you need me you know I'm here."
"I know mila. And I know Lauren is too. It's just hard knowing that the person I was in love with and built a life with was also in love with my best friend. I just I don't know how to process that and I just don't want Lauren and I to feel awkward around each other once she finds out Dinah left."
Camila sighs. "This is a touchy subject Mani. But Lauren loves you. She would do anything for you. I'll talk to her about everything but I'm telling you now once she finds out Dinah left and you never told her. The first thing she's going to do is call you about it."
Normani chuckles and nods. "Yeah I know. I'm not going to hear the end of it. But I just needed time too you know? Time to think as well."
"I get it. Don't worry. Everything will be fine." With that they hugged again and Normani walked toward her car.
——————Later that night Amelia insisted that she slept with Lauren and Camila. While Lauren and Camila got changed into their sleeping clothes they decided to tell Amelia about the baby, hoping it'll make her feel better.
"Hey you! get out of my spot and get in the middle you little nugget." Lauren said as she patted Amelia's butt.
Amelia giggled. "No mommy me comfy!"
Camila laid down on her side and propped herself up on her elbow watching them as Lauren started tickling Amelia telling her to get out of her spot. And Amelia saying no in between laughs.
"Mama!! Help me!!"
"Don't you dare help her! She knows the consequences." Lauren laughs evilly as she tickles Amelia more.
"MAMA! MAMA!! HELP! HELP!" Amelia says and she squirms and laughs.
Camila reaches over and pushes Lauren's hands away while Amelia rolls into her for safety.
"Leave my baby alone!"
"Yeah mommy. You... you tickle meanie!"
Lauren looks at Amelia snuggling into Camila's side while she hugs her. Then she looks at Camila and playfully squints her eyes. "You traitor!"
Camila chuckles. "Can't be a traitor if I was always team Amelia."
Amelia pops her head up and beams at Camila then turns to face Lauren and sticks her tongue out at her. "Haha mama likes me better!"
"OH IT'S LIKE THAT?! Okay well then I'm just gonna go sleep on the couch." Lauren glares at them playfully then snatches her pillow and turns around but before she can walk Amelia runs and jumps on her back.
"MOMMY NO!!"
Lauren tries to hold in her laugh. "Nope I'm not talking to you." Lauren says teasingly.
"MOMMMMYY.. please I sorry... don't leave us.. I sorry mommy..." Amelia says climbing up higher on Lauren's back so she can snuggle into her neck.
"Lauren tell her you were playing around before she starts crying because she thinks you're being serious."
"Okay.. Okay.. I was joking around baby.. I wasn't gonna leave."
Amelia sits up on Lauren back then smacks her on top of the head before she jumps off. "MEANIE!!" Then she crawls back to Camila so she can hug her.
Camila stifles a laugh then cradles Amelia. "Awww my poor baby.. you're mommy is a big headed meanie!"
Amelia nods into Camila chest. "Yeah..."
Lauren looks at them while she rubs the top of her head. "WOW! I get hit on the head and I'm the mean one?"
"Just lay down now before we decided to really kick you out of the bed."
"Fine.. but only cause I want to lay down."
Amelia giggled. "No.. liar. It's cause mama said so." Amelia stuck her tongue out at Lauren again.
"Keep sticking that tongue out and I'm not going to tell you the secret anymore."
Amelia quickly put her tongue back in her mouth. Then crawled to Lauren and plops down on her stomach. "Tell me please.....! I be good girl. I promise."
"Mmmm I don't know.. you called me and meanie and hit me on the head. I think you hit me so hard I forgot the secret."
Amelia looked at Lauren worriedly. "I sorry mama I kiss it make it better?"
Lauren nods and Amelia lays down right on Lauren's face so she can kiss the top of her head.
Both Lauren and Camila laugh. "Okay.. so you kiss me to make it better but then suffocate me in the process?" Lauren laughs. "Yup makes sense."
Amelia not understanding just looked at Lauren then to Camila. "It no better?"
Camila reached out and brushed Amelia's cheek. "I think you made it way better then it was before baby. Don't worry."
Amelia beamed then looked down at Lauren and started giving her kisses all over her face. "Yay! You better! Secret time!"
