Camila's POV

I woke up due more cramps in my abdomen. When is this finally ending! I opened my eyes, looking around and seeing that it was dark outside. We had been in bed since around 4 pm so it must be at least 8pm by now. Shawn was lightly holding me in his arm but I needed to go to the bathroom. So I took the blanket off my body and walked over to the bathroom, not feeling good. It was really horrible... but my period was slowly ending. Slowly. I sat down on the toilet hoping to ease the pain a bit. But it didn't... I need to ask my mom... she's the one who knows what to do. The pain was so bad that I had started crying. I also was feeling a bit nauseous. I leaned my head onto my hands, wiping the tears away with my thumb. I don't know why it was so bad again. I sometimes have light pain but also sometimes bad pains, like this time. I stood up, making myself ready and walking downstairs, hoping that my mom would be downstairs and help me. I silently walked out of the room, checking that Shawn was asleep and closing the door behind me.

"Mama?" I asked softly when I entered the living room, seeing that the tv was on. "Sì? Camila?" she said from the couch, looking at me. "Mama... I have bad cramps... again..." it was then that she saw the tears on my cheeks. "Oh hija... come here... do you want to take a pain killer?" she asked when I sat down next to me. "Yeah..." I said weakly. She stood up, pulling a blanket over my body and getting me something for the pain. I tried sleeping but I just couldn't... the pain was too intense. After a few minutes my mom came back with another tea, a painkiller and a new hot water bottle. "Thank you..." I whispered, taking the things while my mom sat down next to me. I curled up and leaned my head on Mama's lap. She started caressing m hair while I tried to fall asleep, which I couldn't. So I quietly continued sobbing. "Mija, where is Shawn?" My mom asked when she notice that I could fall asleep. "Sleeping upstairs..." "Alright. Do you want something to eat? Should I make something?" "I don't want anything... but maybe Shawn..." "Alright. I'm going to make something light, maybe you can eat it later." I nodded, leaning my head onto the cushions of the couch when my mom sat up. Tears were still escaping my eyes and the pain was still there. I also was really nauseous and I felt a weird taste in my mouth but shrugged it off...

Shawn's POV

I opened my eyes to an empty bed. Where is she? I stood up, first checking the bathroom and then walking downstairs. I saw Sinu in the kitchen and walked over to her. "Sinu? Where is Camila?" I asked. "Shh... she's on the couch..." she said, pointing over to the couch which was turned to the tv away from us. I walked over, seeing Mila curled up, her head laying on a few pillows, eyes open. "Mila?" I asked softly. She didn't turn or gave me an answer. What is up with her? I walked around the couch, kneeling down in front of her and immediately seeing the tears on her cheeks. "Hey... what happened?" I asked softly, wanting to take her hand but she pulled it under the blanket where I could see another hot water bottle. She just shook her head weakly. "Shawn, come here hijo... " I let Mila alone after brushing my thumb over her cheek and walked over to Sinu. "What is up with her?" I asked her. "She has really bad cramps again. She had them a few times but it had gotten less frequent over time... but today it seems to be... bad again." "Why does she have it?" "I honestly don't know. We went to the doctors a few times and they told us it was normal as long as it passed with her period passing." I nodded. Of course it was weird talking to Sinu about this kind of stuff but it was about Mila's well being. "Here, I made you some dinner." she said, opening the pan, showing me Beans with some rice, a typical Spanish dish. "Have you already eaten?" I asked Sinu. "No, but I think I'm going to sit down next to Camila for a bit alright? You can sit with he later when I get something to eat." "Okay, thank you a lot Sinu." I smiled at her, grabbing a plate and putting some of the food on my plate. I followed Sinu with my eyes, seeing her sit down next to Mila and I could see Mila push herself up a bit, putting her head on her moms lap and curling up into a small ball. Poor baby...

When I finished, I put the things away into the dishwasher, grabbing a plate for Sinu and walking over to her. "Sinu, I'm ready" I whispered, not wanting to wake Mila, who had finally closed her eyes. "Alright... Here..." she said, carefully lifting up her head so I could slip in and take sinus place, carefully putting her head on my lap. She walked to the kitchen, eating while I sat next to Mila, my hand on her shoulder, eyes fixed on her face. "Baby... " I whispered. I can't even imagine how bad this must be for her. I was also about to fall asleep, when Mila jolted awake, pulled the blanked to the side and jumped up towards the bathroom. I looked confused to Sinu who made a hand motion, telling me to follow her. I walked behind her to the small guest bathroom, being her banding down in front of the toilet. I soon felt Sinu walked in behind me with a glass of water in her hand. I kneeled down next to her, pulling her ponytail out of her face, rubbing her back lightly. She was just dry heaving and it didn't really sound too good. Sinu and I were both worried but Sinu had told me that this used to be normal.

When she was done, had drank the cup of water, Sinu helped Mila upstairs while I prepared a bottle of water for her and put new hot water into the hot water bottle for her. I walked upstairs and sing was sitting on the edge of the bed next to Camila with the bedside lamp on, caressing her head while talking to her. When Sinu saw me, she smiled and stood up, walking to my side. "Take care of her, this night is probably not going to be restful." "I will." I nodded, she patted my back before leaving and I walked back to Camila. "Baby?" I whispered, knowing she hadn't said anything to me before. "hmm.. " she hummed, turning to my side of the bed. "Here, I brought you this water bottle if you need to drink." She took it and put it next to her bed. I then lifted the blanket a bit, seeing that she had changed into a black pair of sweats and a white cropped shirt which was perfect for me to put a hot water bottle on her bare stomach. "Are you feeling a bit better?" "I am" she said, looking into my eyes. I could see she was tired. I laid down next to her, pulling the blanket over my body and getting closer to her body, pulling her close to me. She put her arms around me, resting her forehead on my chest. I could feel the hot water bottle on my own body, not on my stomach though, but right under my chest, since she was really tiny. I smiled, kissing her lips. She smiled back, whispering a small "I love you" and closing her eyes which I did too.
