"I'm home!"

Lauren heard the distant shout from downstairs and she smiled brightly, pushing back the chair at her desk and crossing the office. Yanking open the door, she slipped out into the hall and shut the door behind her, rubbing at her tired eyes from staring at the computer screen all evening. Quickly walking downstairs, she smiled at the sight of Camila hanging up her coat, and walked over to her with her hands outstretched. Cupping Camila's face in her hands, she gave her a lingering kiss, before pulling back. "Welcome home, how was work?"

"Long," Camila sighed, even though she looked happy.

Lauren wrinkled her nose and smiled, leaning in to kiss her wife again, taking her bag off her and dropping it to the ground.

"God, do you have to kiss her like that every time she comes home?" a voice said from the top of the stairs, and both of them whirled around, taking in the sight of their eldest daughter dragging her feet as she walked downstairs.

Sighing, Lauren raised her eyebrows at her daughter and stepped away from Camila, "Come say hi to your mom."

Rolling her eyes, Daisy jumped off the bottom step and walked over to Camila, hunching her shoulders slightly and almost pulling away as she let Camila kiss her on the cheek. "Good day at school, Dais?" Camila asked, getting an indistinguishable mumble in reply, before Daisy shuffled off towards the kitchen.

Before either of them could say anything, there were loud footsteps running down the stairs, and they looked at the other dark-haired girl bounding towards them. "Careful Lils," Camila laughed, but the younger girl didn't slow down, she just ran straight towards Camila, throwing her arms around her and tilting her head up and to the side to let Camila kiss her on the cheek.

"Hi, mom, what's for dinner?" Lily asked, giving Camila a hopeful look, "can we get pizza?"

Laughing, Lauren smoothed her dark curls and gave her a gentle push towards the kitchen. "I'll go and order some, and you can go and make sure your sister's finished her homework. You better have done yours too."

The two of them watched as Lily raced off towards the kitchen, and Lauren smiled while Camila laughed, shaking her head. She bent her head a little to kiss Lauren on the cheek, before following after them both. Lauren fished her phone out of her pocket and dialed the nearest pizza place, placing an order as she followed after the rest of her family at a slower pace. Walking into the kitchen, she took in the sight of Camila rummaging in the fridge for food, passing things out to the two girls crowded around her, and Lauren shook her head as she let out a snort of laughter; they really were their mother's daughters.

"How was school, girls?" Camila asked, taking a bite out of a slice of salami as she kicked the fridge door shut, her arms filled with food.

"Daisy got detention again," Lily blurted out, letting out a yelp of pain as Daisy reached over and punched her in the arm.

Lauren sighed, pinching the bridge of her nose as she walked further in and dropped down onto a chair at the table. "Don't hit your sister," she scolded her eldest daughter, giving her an admonishing look, and Daisy just rolled her eyes, slouching in her chair as she sat down and crossed her arms over her chest. "What did you do this time?"
