"Breaking news at 8...

President Alejandro Cabello and First Lady Sinu Cabello have officially resigned from their post. After months of debate and paperwork, they have finally come forward with their plans to host the next election for presidency which will begin in January next year. Reports have suggested that they were resigning due to the fact that their daughter, Camila Cabello, a former doctor at Arkadia Hospital had been lost at sea with her wife, who will not be named due to privacy. Reports also suggest that they are not fit to run a country and therefore will be running the country until the elections has been held.

In other news..."

Dinah and Normani turned to look at Camila and Lauren, who were seated on the couch, Camila had gone white as a sheet of paper, Lauren had stopped rubbing her massive swell of a belly which was already 8 months along and she was due soon in the next couple of weeks to come. Luna and Hailee had been playing with Jasmine and Lily, who had grown over the last few months, were walking around and picking up items which were their toys, and handing them continuously back to Luna and Hailee. The months had been a little rough for their two friends, Camila dealing with her parents return into their lives, but not really coming after them or talking to them. The day Camila had asked them to leave was the day they last spoke to the two. Lauren had been stressed out and was put on bed rest for two weeks after her trip to the hospital, but she was better afterwards and things returned to normal.

Aden was away for the night at his boyfriend's home, leaving the girls to themselves, and Dinah wasn't too keen on going out either, for she was sporting a belly of her own, being four months along in her own pregnancy. Normani and her had decided they wanted a family of their own, and had gone through the process, stating that Dinah would go first before Normani did, as they only wanted two kids. Luna and Hailee had their own plans of having kids, but they agreed that they would be adopting instead of going through the birthing process like their crazy friends who had claimed it was the miracle of life that they didn't want to suffer through. But the moment in the house now was definitely different, and they wanted to know what their two friends were thinking about. Camila could only sigh, thinking about how the news came forward to them unexpectedly and perhaps maybe Alejandro and Sinu had other agenda's in mind that they had resigned from their position.

It was media coverage all around and Camila and Lauren knew just why they quit. They felt guilty for leaving the two of them out there, for not coming back for them and perhaps it had hit them hard the night Camila told them to leave. Lauren on the other hand was quiet, because she knew it was hard to watch the people she once called her second parents do such an act and they knew that the two of them would be watching television at home since they all had the day off from work. She felt relieved as well that they had kept their identities a secret to the world, not outing them for having been alive and returned to the land of the living.

"You two okay?" Normani speaks up, drawing everyone's attention, and Camila and Lauren looked at each other before looking at the rest of their friends.

"I guess. I mean yeah it was a little surprising and shocking at the same time, but we never expected them to do such a thing. We aren't on good terms to know what's going with each other's lives, but I think maybe they did such a thing to get us to see how sorry they are. Maybe I don't know." Camila sighed, tired and exhausted with the surprises that their parents had pulled.

"First, it was an apology letter, secondly, the rumors that had gone around over the past few months which had everyone talking about wherever Camila and Lauren went, and truth be told, the both of them were exhausted. Too exhausted. It wasn't the fact that their parents were trying, but they were trying too hard. The both of them haven't told their friends about it, not wanting to worry them as well, but with Lauren's due date so close, they couldn't afford to have more stress placed on them. Lauren had stopped working on the desserts and the bar for now, cutting them down on manpower for the time being, but the paper work had been settled by Lauren and she wasn't as relaxed as she should be. Sales had been doing so well, even Lauren had stayed up late at times to complete them, forcing Camila to get her to come home. To be honest they were struggling. They just couldn't bring themselves to tell their friends that.
