Beautiful When You Don't Try (Camren)

Chapter 107

A/N: Once I converted the Adrianne/Lauren Prequel of this fic, I will place the first chapter of the fic on my Wattpad. When I'm finished with the Prequel I'll convert the Camren Sequel fic for you all. It should be interesting. Hopefully, it will make everyone happy.

I'm glad you all enjoyed the last chapter. I wish we could show more of Camren and the babies when they are babies, but this fic would honestly never end. Thank you all for reading. Enjoy.

"Go to sleep."

Camila was sitting up in bed shaking her head as Lauren laid flat on her stomach, face smashed into the mattress in exhaustion. "I can't."

"Yes, you can. Go to sleep."

"They're not crying."

The raven-haired let out a groan. "I know. They're sleeping."

"They've been sleeping for hours now," Camila argued.

"I know. But they're still sleeping."

Camila hesitated before shaking her head again. "I have to go check."

"Camila." Lauren grabbed the brunette's arm and pulled her back into the bed. "No. Let them sleep." It was one of the first nights that they had let the babies sleep in their cribs downstairs. They had started sleeping longer than their normal two hours and since Michelle wasn't there to help anymore because the school had started, Lauren was hoping to take advantage of the longer breaks between cries. Camila, however, was having issues with it.

"What if something is wrong with them? What about SIDS?"

"Are you serious?"

"Yes." Camila looked at her seriously.

"Baby, if you worry about all of the what-ifs, you're never going to sleep again in your life. Just, come here, and go to sleep." Lauren urged her, wrapping her arms around the smaller woman and spooning her. She was trying to give her the secure feeling she would need in order to get her mind to stop racing, but she could feel Camila's eyes looking at the doorway. "Fine. Go check on them and then come back to bed."

"Thank you," Camila said nearly throwing her wife's arm off of her and running down the stairs. Lauren waited a few seconds as she debated whether or not to go to sleep and let Camila make her way back up later or to go down there with her so she didn't come off completely insensitive. She rolled on her back and stared at the ceiling before she growled in frustration and got out of bed. When she made it to the nursery she found herself smiling in adoration of her wife who was gently adjusting the blankets around each baby and smiling at them as they slept.

"I owe you an apology," Lauren whispered and Camila reluctantly made her way from the sleeping infants to her wife's waiting arms.

"And what is this apology for?"

"For doubting your abilities. You have been absolutely amazing since they were born. A few backward diapers and the washed off dot, but still... You've done better than I was giving you credit for. And I apologize. You're my wife and I should have had more faith in you."

Camila smiled as she snuggled into the embrace. "I can't blame you though. I was a spoiled only child who had never held a baby until Julian. I think your low expectations would have been more accurate if I hadn't received my lessons from the nurses at the hospital as well."

"Regardless, I stick to my apology. However, I still think you might be a handful when it's your turn to have a baby."

Camila stood up straight and avoided her wife's eyes as she made her way back upstairs. "I have no idea what you are talking about. I think I'm going to be quiet agreeable when I'm pregnant. I mean, you are a calm person who turned incredibly hormonal."
