"Camila are you sure this is healthy?" Lauren ask. She had been watching Camila make this protein shake, but it didn't look pleasing.
"Yea. I read it's good for the baby." Camila says while pouring some into a cup.
"Why don't you just drink a beer?" Lauren ask. Camila choked on her drink.
"What?" She asked shocked. Lauren shrugged.
"Beer? That's healthy right? My father would drink it all the time, mother even called it Jesus juice." Lauren says.
"Wow you had a weird childhood. No you're not supposed to drink alcohol while being pregnant." Camila says.
"Oh. Sorry I still don't know much about a lot of things." Lauren said. "Have you thought about a baby names?"
Camila didn't answer. In all honesty she wasn't even sure she wanted to keep the baby. All she could think about was 'how would I have time to raise a child' her world revolved around work. Being a single parent was a whole lot of stress that she wasn't sure she was ready for.
"No, I'm not sure I want the baby." Camila says honestly.
"What? That's ridiculous why wouldn't you want the baby?" Lauren ask.
"You wouldn't understand." Camila says. Lauren seemed to get angry at Camila's words.
"Why wouldn't I? Giving that baby up might be the worst decision you could ever make. You have no idea what his or her parents would do." Lauren says angrily.
"What if me keeping this child is the wrong decision." Camila ask back. She was not getting angry.
"At least the kid will grow up knowing he or she had a loving parent." Lauren said. She then left the room.
Camila sat down at one of the chairs in the kitchen. This was her first fight with Lauren and she felt horrible. She wasn't sure why she felt the way she did. It was all to stressful for her, thinking about it all was giving her a headache.
Camila walked to the living room and decided she needed a nap. Her back was hurting now and she knew that stressing out the baby was not good. Camila closed her eyes and hoped that she when she woke up that everything was going to be okay between her and Lauren.
Meanwhile Lauren was upstairs pacing. She had no idea why Camila even thought giving the baby away was a option. Lauren grew up in a very strict household. She did things she wished she never had to, she was forced to do things she wished she hadn't had to do. So the thought of a child potentially potentially having to deal with the same thing she went through scared her. She would never wish that upon anyone, what she had to endure was hell to her. Lauren was about to go downstairs when she heard Camila's phone ringing. She followed the noise all the way into Camila's room.
"Hello?" Lauren asked as she answered the phone.
"Cami?" Zayn says. Lauren would recognize that voice anywhere.
"No, this is Lauren." She says.
"Lauren? What are you doing with Camila's phone?" Zayn ask. Lauren rolls her eyes.
"No the real question is what are you doing calling Camila's phone." Lauren says.
"She is my girlfriend and the mother of my child." Zayn says. Lauren scoffs.
"Now you say that. What made you change your mind?" Lauren ask. She knew she was crossing a line just by answering the phone but she couldn't careless.
"Excuse me?" Zayn ask. "Where is Camila?"
"She can't come to the phone right now. She's too busy making sure her baby is healthy, you know the one you didn't claim." Lauren said sassily. Lauren hung up the phone before Zayn could say anything else. 'Idiot' she mumbled.
"Camila?" Lauren called out. When she got no answered she walked downstairs. She saw Camila soundly asleep on the couch. Lauren walked over to Camila and pulled the blanket over her.
She then made her way into the kitchen. She didn't know how to cook and she thought that making Camila dinner would be a nice way of saying sorry. Lauren searches on her phone for a hour looking for anything that looked appealing to her. She finally settled for a healthy Mexican Casserole with Roasted corn and peppers. The main reason she chose it was because it said healthy.
About a hour later and a lot of dirty dishes Lauren was finally done cooking. She had messed up three times before she finally got it right. She walked into the living room to see Camila still sleeping.
"Camz!" Lauren says excitedly. Camila hadn't moved. "Camz!" Lauren said again. Camila groaned and shifted a little.
"Lauren can you please be quite?" Camila ask. Lauren laughed.
"I made dinner." Lauren says happily. Camila opens one eye and notices that the sun is still shining brightly.
"Lauren what time is it?" Camila ask. Lauren frowns.
"It's 3 pm." Lauren says.
"You do know some people still consider this lunch time right?" Camila ask.
"Shit. I keep forgetting. What do I do know?" She asks.
"Let's go eat!" Camila says. She didn't want Lauren to feel sad.
"I made a healthy Mexican Casserole." Lauren says. "You've told me so much about your family and how your abuela would make it all the time when you were younger." Lauren says.
"Oh this should be good." Camila says. She walks into the kitchen to see the biggest mess she has ever seen.
"Sorry about the mess." Lauren says.
"It's fine, just remind me to teach you how to wash dishes." Camila says.
