Devonne's POV

"Thanks for letting me stay the night, girls."

"It was no big deal. There's always room for you here." Dinah smiled at me.

"I'll walk you out." Normani offered. I nodded, and walked with her to the door. "We'll tell Lauren you slept over."  Normani was always nice to me, since we met. Lauren is always mad when I hang out with her. She thinks, Normani is flirting. But I think she's insane.

"Thanks, tell her to call me when she gets home." I pleaded, she nodded, and kissed my cheeks. "See you later." I waved, and walked over to the curb. I pulled out my phone to call Jason, to pick me up.

"What are you doing here?" I turned around, Lauren smirking at me.

"I spent the night. I couldn't stay home. Where the hell were you?"

"I went to the beach house, I needed to get away for a little."

"She scared you that bad huh?"

"A little." She nodded, smiling down at me. I leaned in capturing her lips with mine. "Do you need a ride?" She mumbles, on my lips.

"Yes." We get in her car, and she drives me to my house.

---

"I'll call you later, babe."

"Okay!" I wave and run up to my house. Hopefully no one is home, and I can have the house to myself.

"Your home!" Dammit!

Naya's POV

"Y-yea." She nodded.

"Good, because we need to talk." I sat down on the couch, holding my tea up to my lips.

"I'm really not in the mood for yelling." She sighed, pulling a hand through her hair.

"Well that's good, cause I said we need to talk. Not yell." She made her way to the couch, and sat across from me. "Let's start this off." I sighed, placing my cup on the table.

"We weren't about to have sex." She blurted out.

"Is sure looked like it." I mumbled tracing circles around the rim of my mug.

"We weren't. Lauren was changing, and she didn't put a shirt on. Then we started kissing, you know how make-out sessions get Ma." She sighed looking down at her hands.

"I know, and I'm sorry. I didn't mean to yell at you. I was just angry."

"Why?" Dev got up, and sat next to me. I might as well tell her right? I mean she deserves to know the truth right?

"Because." I breathed. "I don't want you to grow up." I murmured.

"Ma-."

"You don't understand. You don't know what it's like to watch your little girl grow up, into a young woman."

"Your right, I don't. But all kids need to grow up. I may be growing in appearance, but I'll always be that little three-year-old; who ran home yelling "I swallowed my tooth, I swallowed my tooth!!" Always." I smiled at the memory. Demi still ended up putting money under her pillow, for her.

"I just want to see you grow up too fast." I whispered.

"I'll try not to, Mommy." She leaned her head on my shoulder, and I wrapped an arm around her.

"I love you baby girl."

"I love you too, Mommy." I sighed, as we stayed in the same position the rest of the day. Just watching TV, and cuddling.

"You know this doesn't mean your off the hook of being grounded, right?"

"Damn." She chuckled.

"Hey, I didn't know we were having a family cuddle day!" Ricky yelled running for the couch.

"No, Ricky, do-." He jumped on tope of us, his entire body spread out on us and the couch.

"Oh.. My.. God..... What did Jacob's family feed.... You." Dev giggled trying to push him off.

"Ham, chicken, rice, mash potatoes, snickers, chips-."

"Okay, I get it... Please get off."

"But I'm so comfy."

"Ricky, your squishing my boobs." I couldn't help but laugh at Dev, and Ricky did too. He sat himself up, so that he was sitting on my lap, and his legs were on Dev.

"I love you guys." I sighed, running my hand through Ricky's hair.

"We love you too, Ma. Always have always will." Ricky smiled.

-------

"Hey Ricky remember the time you spilled your ice cream on that girl in, fourth-grade?" Dev laughed.

"That wasn't funny, she was really mad that I messed up her dress."

"It was hilarious!" I just sat there listening to the two knuckle heads tell embarrassing things about each other.

Demi's POV

"Ugh, home." I sighed, opening the door. I kicked off my heels, and dropped my purse on the table. I pulled my hair from the tight bun, letting it fall down my back. "Baby?" I called out, but got nothing back. I walked into the living room, to the cutest thing ever.

Dev had her head on Naya's shoulder. Ricky was sitting on Naya's lap with his head on her other  shoulder. All of them sleeping. I quickly pulled out my phone, and took a picture.

"Hey." Naya husked, still waking up.

"Hi, baby." I leaned over to her and kissed her forehead.

"When did you get home?"

"Just now." I smiled. "How did the talk go?"

"Great." She cleared her throat. "We talked and then just cuddled watching TV. Then Ricky came home and joined us. I guess we fell asleep." She giggled, and cleared her throat again.

"Are you getting sick?" I asked, running my hand through her hair.

"Just a little sore throat. Can you make me some more tea. I'm gonna get these two up." I nodded, and headed to the kitchen.

From the kitchen I heard a loud thump, followed by Dev screaming. "Ricky!!" She laughed. I walked back to the living room, and Dev was on the floor.

"Sorry!" He laughed, causing Dev to glare at him and they took off running.

"Thank you." Naya sighed, taking a sip from the mug. I crossed one of my legs under me, and sat down next to Naya. I played with her hair, while she closed her eyes relaxing.

"I love you, Dem."

"You tell me all the time, baby." I giggled, kissing her  forehead. "I love you too."
