"Baaaaaaaaaabe!" Normani screamed when Lauren answered her facetime request "Yes, beautiful." Lauren rubbed her eyes "one more stupid year..." Normani giggled "I miss you, lovebug" normani smiled "you know what I was offered a deal since it was my last year I could leave and go back home as long as I gave $10,000 it's like bail." Normani smiled"I'm happy you said that because I think me and the kids are flying out and giving it to them ourselves just to see you again." Mani, babe...no - I can't ." Lauren stuttered "no baby I insist, anyways how you holding up?" Normani asked "I'm alright just thinking of you and my babies." " How about you?"  "I don't know I miss you so much that I can't think straight, my mind is all over the place." Normani laughs, a tear streaming down her beautiful chocolate face then another then another. " Babe, don't cry I'm telling you I'll be back home before you could say-" ding dong "fuck me." "WHAT?!" normani opened her eyes "no, nothing babe." Lauren ran to the door with her iPad still in her hand "Mrs. Jauregui, you ride is here the frog has caught the fly." The officer winked "ok, sir thank you, babe I'm going to call you tonight I have to take care of some business." Lauren said normani nodded "I love you,normani." "I love you more" "I love you the mostest" "I love you the mostest- est" Lauren laughed and waved as normani signed off with a kiss. "I miss her kisses." Lauren sighed "you're bags ready, Lauren?" "Of course I've waited three years for this moment." The officer nodded to some guards to go inside "bedroom." Lauren said to them "alright look the car is packed and ready for take off." The officer said signaling the two guards to come load into the car. As Lauren looked outside she saw children playing in the park of Texas and interracial lesbian couples pushing their beautiful mixed babies on the swings, she envisioned her, normani, and the kids at the park and suddenly dozed off...

"Mommy, I love you so much." Tyler smiles and hugs Lauren tightly " I love you so much more papas." "I love you so much more-er mommy." He smiled toothly "ok baby you win." She chuckles as they approach the truck. A familiar man opens the window "little august-tyson, what can I get for you bud?" "Oh no this is Tyler" Lauren said smiling "ma'am I know my child when I see him that's August." He says aggressively "shut the fuck up you don't know him, you always denied him to be yours and now you want to claim him your just a sorry FUCKING EXCUSE FOR A DAD WHO CAN'T GET HIS SHIT TOGETHER!" Justin chuckled "and you just lost your precious first born." "What? TY!" *POW*

"Lauren get up, get up we're here." The officer said rubbing Lauren's arm. "Oh shit,OH SHIT!" Lauren jumped out the car and runs to the house she remembers from oh so long ago. She breathes in as she steps on the grass thinking about her most

Lauren eyes widen and Mani walked to the car to get Lauren's luggage "MAMA!" The three screamed as they jumped on their mother collapsing to the ground softly "don't mess up your white babies,oh mama missed you all so much and ty we got talk pretty soon." Tyler laughed and nodded Lauren looked behind her to see the officer and her wife shaking hands and waving goodbye to each other. "Oh babe I let me help you there." Normani smiled and handed Lauren her bags. "Ah, home sweet home." Lauren took a breath of the fresh air. Finally she feels free, she feels finally at home. "Mama, lookit, lookit." liberty haned Lauren a painting That read; Me, you,tywer,leilei, and mommi. She smiled and hugged her ever so tightly. "I love my Libbie." "I love my mommy."

"Knock, knock."she said while knocking "come in." Tyler said sadly.

He said nuzzling into her warmth "I missed you more,papi" Lauren held his head closer to her breast. " you gotta watch where you putting your lips buddy, because who knows who else that little cutie has been kissing." " alright mama." Tyler sighed "I love you papi." Lauren held her hand out for a high five, Tyler slapped her hand and smiled all the way to his room. "I'm so glad your back, not only was it hard for me emotionally but ... Physically I missed the feeling of you next to me." Normani said hugging Lauren tightly " I know babe its been hard for me emotionally and... Physically as well." They both laugh at Lauren's sarcastic pause. "Sooooo... What did I miss?" Lauren sits on the bed holy crap  I never knew how much I mis the comfort of a comfortable cushion. "LAUREN!" Normani  yelled in Lauren's ear. "Yeah..." "I said you missed your babies grow up." Lauren sighed and flung her head back on her bed. " I can't believe it... Seriously... Like we're mom's with kids in school... Hm, I could've sworn just yesterday we became friends in a group that we never knew we would join." Normani hugged Lauren tightly and pecked  her soft vanilla scented head "I know... Hey are you hungry?" Normani said getting up quickly "yeah." "Well come make your own food, I ain't yo maid." Normani sassed flipping her hair and swaying away. Lauren shook her head laughing it's good to be back.
