Darkness Inside

Chapter Six

"Are you okay?" Camila asks softly, caressing Lucy's cheek.

Lucy nodded slowly. "Yeah."

Kissing her forehead, Camila sighs softly. "I'll deal with them."

"Deal with them? How?" Lucy asked with a frown.

"Don't worry about it babe." the younger girl says softly.

"If you kill them, you'll never get Lauren back." Lucy said.

Shaking her head, Camila kisses Lucy gently. "Not killing them."

"What then?" Lucy asked.

"Just let me handle it." Camila responds softly, kissing her once again.

"I want to know." Lucy responded.

"No," the younger girl says.

"Why not?" Lucy argued.

Camila doesn't respond, just kisses Lucy to shut her up.

Lucy pulled away. "I'm not leaving this alone."

"Shh," Camila responds, kissing her again, she continued kissing Lucy as a distraction until the older girl finally gave in.

"Fine." Lucy pulled away.

"I love you." Camila says softly, pulling Lucy closer.

"I love you too." Lucy responded. "Let's watch a movie... or go for a walk."

Sliding her hand along Lucy's stomach, Camila looks into her eyes. "How's our baby doing?"

Lucy shrugged. "Okay, I guess. We'd know if something was wrong if I was in pain."

Nodding her head, Camila pulls Lucy closer and kisses her again, running her hand along Lucy's stomach.

Lucy smiled against Camila's lips.

Deepening the kiss, Camila pulls Lucy even closer.

Lucy wrapped her arms around Camila's neck and pulled out of the kiss. "Let's go for a walk along the beach."

"Okay," Camila tells her softly, kissing her once more before pulling away.

Lucy smiled and took Camila's hand. She led the younger girl towards the door.

Two weeks later

"You okay?" Camila asks softly, rubbing Lucy's side as they laid in bed.

Lucy nodded. "Just tired."

Frowning, the younger girl caresses Lucy's cheek. "How did your appointment go?"

"Okay, I guess. Nothing has changed." Lucy said.

Kissing Lucy's forehead, Camila sighs. "Why don't we call around for a Fetal surgeon."

"If you want to." Lucy shrugged.

Sitting up, Camila grabs her phone and holds it out to Lucy.

Lucy looked from Camila to the phone and back again. "What?"

"You call, I'm going to make a sandwich and check on Summer." Camila responds immediately.

"Why do I have to call? You had the idea." Lucy said.

Groaning, Camila looks at Lucy. "Because I'm hungry and want to check on our daughter."

Lucy took the phone and put it down on the bed. "I'll wait until you get back."

Nodding, Camila stands up and kisses Lucy before leaving their room and heading downstairs.

Lucy sat down and sighed heavily, she ran her fingers through her hair.
