Moon Child (A Camren KidFic)

twenty-three

"Congratulations, Camila!" Dinah and Ariana cheered. Camila had been working for months to be approved to foster or adopt various children.  Lauren held a special place in her heart, and she would love to keep her one day. She had decided to go forward to have the permission and files on board if anything had changed in Lauren's situation.  "I am so proud of you," Ariana squeezed Camila's hand. "Ew, get a room," Dinah joked. Camila rolled her eyes, "You will miss me now that I am moved out." 

Camila had found a small house near the school that she adored. Dinah called her crazy for buying a house that needed so much work, but Camila had a lot of help preparing her home. "You know now that you have a house of your own and paperwork. You may be able to have custody of Lauren," Ariana mentioned. Camila furrowed her eyebrows, "What about Mike?" Ariana shrugged, "By now, he would have figured out where she was. If he wanted to. Harry wouldn't mind, Mila. I know you both have a connection. You are so good with her as well." Dinah nodded, "Mila, I would go for it. Besides the adoption or foster process would take forever with someone new." Camila sighed, " She deserves to be safe. I am not sure if I could promise her that right now." 

Ariana grinned, "I could always help out. I am sure Dinah wouldn't mind either." Dinah shook her head, "You will not be in this alone." Camila thought for a moment; she could not decide this on a whim. This was a life at stake; Lauren's life. Even possibly her own. "I will have to think about it." Ariana nodded kissing Camila on the cheek, "Okay, well, I have to go to work. I will call you later." Dinah smiled at the two's interaction. Ariana said goodbye leaving the two friends. 

"You both need to date already. I honestly haven't seen you this happy in a while," Dinah mentioned. Camila shrugged, "I am happy, but I'm not sure if it would work. She has a hectic schedule I might be a mom soon.  I have my doubts." Dinah sent a 'are you kidding me look' towards her, "She is head over hills for you. Not mention, I think you both have incredible chemistry." Camila laughed, "You said the same thing about Shawn and me. " Dinah's eyes widen, "Wow, that is the first time, you even mentioned him." Camila sighed, "I guess, I am over him." Dinah nodded her head standing, "It is okay to move on. What you and Shawn had was special, but it does not mean you cannot have it with someone else." 

"Are you leaving, DJ?" 

"Yeah, I better go before we have a sleepover." Dinah hugged Camila, "Oh, and happy 3 months for being sober." Camila beamed, "I am doing so good." 

"You are." 

Dinah left leaving Camila in her thoughts. She knew deep down; she could not bear to be separated from Lauren.  She anxiously tapped her foot. Should she call Harry? Maybe she could talk to someone else about her decision. Is Camila best for Lauren? 

A million different thoughts raced Camila's head.
