Little Things

Chapter 3

Two weeks later

"Feeling any better?" Camila asks Marley as they settle onto the tour bus.

Marley shook her head, curling up on the couch.

Sitting down beside Marley, Camila pulls the younger girl onto her lap. "What's wrong?"

"I'm just tired." Marley mumbled.

Kissing her forehead, Camila just holds Marley close. "I love you."

Marley didn't respond, deep in her own thoughts.

Holding her close, Camila kisses Marley's forehead once more.

"I need professional help." Marley mumbled randomly.

"Then we'll get it." Camila says softly.

Marley nodded but didn't say a word.

"Hey," Camila lifts Marley's head and looks into her eyes. "I'm not going anywhere."

Marley nodded again.

Sighing, Camila leans in and kisses Marley gently.

Marley's eyes fluttered closed but she didn't kiss back.

Pulling away, Camila shifts them on the couch so they're laying down. "Do you want to video call Mason?"

Marley shrugged. She didn't want her kids to see her when she was sick.

"Use your words Mar." Camila says softly.

"No." Marley squeaked.

Rubbing Marley's back, Camila sighs softly. "Okay, just get some rest."

Marley nodded. She got up off the couch and went to the bedroom.

Sighing, Camila runs a hand through her hair before getting up and following her.

Marley curled up on the bed, closing her eyes.

Laying down, Camila pulls her close.

Marley's ribs dug into her arms.

"I love you." Camila whispers in her ear.

Marley hummed quietly.

It wasn't long before both of them were sound asleep.

"When's mommy and mama coming home?" Mason looked up at Lucy.

Lifting him up, Lucy carries him to his bed and lays him down. "Soon buddy, but it's just for a few weeks."

"A few weeks is forever." He said dramatically.

"No, Mase they'll be here in three days but will only be staying a few weeks. Mommy has to get back on tour." Lucy says softly.

"Mommy is sick, isn't she?" Mason asked.

"You don't know. But you're a doctor." Mason said, frowning.

"But I haven't seen your mommy bud." Lucy explains softly.

"Oh." Mason lay down. "Read to me?"

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Lucy grabs Mason's favorite book.

Mason watched Lucy.

Halfway through the book, Lucy looks up to find Mason sound asleep.

A smile crossed Lucy's face. She put the book down and kissed Mason's head before leaving his room.

The twins were softly crying in their cribs.

Sighing, Lucy made her way to their room.

The two five month old's were laying in their cribs, they were both hungry.
