Feels Like New

Barbecue With The Fam

Lauren may admit putting a 60 pound German Shepherd in the car wasn't easy. Camila held Cleo in her arms while Lauren still struggled with Thunder. She was getting frustrated and Camila can sense it so she got out of the car.

"Here," She handed Cleo to Lauren.

Lauren takes Cleo in her arms and Camila calls Thunder over. Thunder sits down in front of his mother and barks happily.

"Who's a good Thunder?" Camila bends down.

Thunder barks again and Camila scratches behind his ear.

"You want a treat baby?" She coos.

Thunder wags his tail and barks. Camila turns to Lauren and she hands her a dog treat for Thunder.

"Come on," Camila whistles putting the dog treat on the far end of the car.

Thunder jumps in and snacks away. Camila closes the door and turns to Lauren with a bright smile.

"Nice job," Lauren kisses her forehead.

Camila takes Cleo in her arms and sits on the passenger side. Lauren closes her door and gets in the driver's side.

The drive was calm, only a couple of times Lauren had to push Thunder back in the backseat. Once they arrived and Lauren opened the door Thunder jumped right out. Camila gets out and smiles at her boy.

Lauren gives her a pleading look not really knowing why Thunder is acting up today.

"He's excited to see his grandparents and Leo," Camila smiles.

"Explains," Lauren takes Cleo in her arms.

Thunder follows his mother as she opens the door to the backyard. Once it opens Thunder dashes in. Lauren and Camila laugh following in his steps.

Once they see their family members, Lauren puts Cleo down on the grass and she pounces towards Thunder and Leo. Lauren wraps an arm around Camila's waist as they near their family members.

Diane and Taylor were the first to greet them.

"Hi, Lo!" They both hug the green-eyed girl. "Mila!" They hug the brunette next.

"Hi kiddos," Lauren smiles. Camila does the same and both girls look at the dogs.

"Go greet Thunder and Cleo," Lauren points at the dogs.

"Call dibs on Thunder!" Taylor says.

"No fair," Diane pouts.

They both run towards Thunder and he pounces back. He howls at his aunts and jumps on Diane knocking her down on the grass.

While Taylor and Diane are playing with the dogs, Chris is using his phone while the mothers talk tea.

"What up little bro," Lauren sits next to her brother. He doesn't answer so she puts his phone down.

"Oh hey," He says.

Lauren laughs and wraps an arm around his shoulder, "Who are you texting away with?"

"Nobody," He blushes.

"With his girlfriend, " Lauren's mother answers.

Lauren raises an eyebrow at her brother, very curious.

"I'll tell you later," He blushes.

Lauren nods and he leaves. Camila comes over, taking his spot.

"What's up?" Lauren asks smiling brightly.

Camila cups Lauren's cheek kissing her lips. Lauren kisses back, pulling her close. She pulls away, running her hand through Camila's hair.

"What was that?" Lauren asks with a smile.

"Just wanted to kiss you," Camila whispers.

Lauren smiles and her father calls her. "I'll be back," She pecks Camila's lips and leaves the girl alone.

"What's up pops?" She slaps her dad's back.

Her dad laughs and wraps an arm around his daughter. Lauren hugs her dad and helps him cook. After helping for a while Camila touches Lauren on the shoulder and Lauren turns around.

"What's wrong?" Lauren asks.

"Mothers want to talk to us before we eat," Camila whispers.

"Okay," Lauren smiles. "I'll be back pops," Lauren turns to her father.

"Don't take long kiddo," Michael smiles.

Lauren and Camila walk inside the house to see their mothers waiting for them. All four-woman walk to the living room and sit on the couches.

"Okay so we heard you guys are thinking of having a baby but don't have any experience," Clara starts.

"Yeah mom," Lauren confirms.

"Bring Cleo," Sinu says.

"Cleo, why?" Camila asks her mother.

"Just do it baby," Sinu smiles.

Camila nods and once she gets Cleo to come over to her she takes her inside. Camila hands Cleo over to her mother and the old lady takes her in her arms.

"May I?" She asks towards Lauren knowing the green-eyed girl is protective over her.

Lauren nods and Sinu lays Cleo down on the couch.

"Okay so if you're changing their diaper you lay them down and carefully take it off," Sinu explains showing them with Cleo.

Couple more minutes both mothers show the two girls how to take care of a baby. Cleo starts wiggling around and jumps off the couch. She jumps on her father and Lauren picks her up.

"Hi, baby," Lauren coos.

Cleo licks her father on the jaw and wags her tail happily. Lauren sets her down on the floor and Cleo runs to the backyard. Clara and Sinu smile at the two and stand up.

"I think taking care of a baby won't be that hard for you both," Sinu smiles and Clara agrees.

Both mothers walk back outside, leaving the two young adults alone. Lauren stays silent and Camila takes her hand in hers.

Lauren smiles, interlocking their fingers together. Camila leans over capturing Lauren's lips with hers grinning against her lips.

Lauren kisses her back lovingly embracing Camila in her arms. Both girls smile brightly when they pull away. Lauren cups Camila's cheek caressing it lovingly.
