Pregnancy Beginnings

3 weeks later...

Camila clutches her bladder as her cramps continue. Thunder looks at his mother worriedly, whimpering next to her. Lauren rushes up the stairs bringing all of Camila's weird pregnancy cravings.

From pickles with Reeses to a sandwich filled with Cheetos. Now that's something Dinah might do. Lauren opens the door to their bedroom, Cleo pouncing on the bed.

"Here baby," Lauren sets the cravings down next to her girlfriend. She grabs Thunder by the collar to prevent him from eating it.

Camila grabs the plate and immediately devours the food. Lauren watched, wondering how her girlfriend can eat that. Personally, the green-eyed girl doesn't like mixing her foods.

Once Camila is done she lays back, rubbing at her tummy. Her hand flies to Thunder, embracing the German Shepherd. Thunder barks lightly and cuddles against his mother.

"Lolo can you come over here too?" Camila asks her girlfriend.

Lauren smiles and kicks off her shoes. "Of course baby girl," Lauren whispers.

Camila turns around and rests her head on Lauren's shoulder. Thunder whimpers but moves towards the end of the bed with Cleo. He wraps his body around the small French Bulldog embracing his sister.

The green-eyed girl doesn't know how long they fell asleep but when she woke up again she heard Cleo and Thunder barking downstairs. Lauren gets up confusingly and walks downstairs.

She sees the two dogs panting and ready to pounce at the door. Lauren heard a couple of knocks causing the German Shepherd to bark with Cleo's smaller bark afterward.

Lauren checks the peephole and opens it immediately. She sees the girls, the four boys, Taylor and Diane stride in.

"What up!" Diane, Taylor, and Dinah said at the same time.

"Hi..." Lauren trails off. "What are you guys doing here?" She asks all of them.

"Just seeing my cuñs," Ally said with a smile.

"Sister in law I don't why she said it like that," Taylor laughs.

"Camila is sleeping," Lauren says.

"Awww come on," Zayn says, "We brought presents."

"Yeah the boys bought baby boy clothes and we bought baby girl clothes," Normani says.

"Well I'll go wake her up but I need Thunder," Lauren nods towards the big dog who is rolling on his back as Diane rubs his belly.

Thunder perks his ears up hearing his name come out of his father's mouth so he stands up.

"Come on Thunder," Lauren says.

Thunder runs towards her and pounces back when Lauren takes a step forward. Lauren laughs and goes upstairs, Thunder right on her heels.

Lauren stops outside of her bedroom and kneels down to Thunder's height. "Go wake up mommy," She whispers, giving the big black furry ball a dog treat.

Thunder takes it, eating it and pounces in the room. He jumps on the bed, licking all over his sleeping mother's face. It doesn't take long until Lauren hears Camila's giggles. She enters the room and whistles causing Thunder to get off his mother and trots over to her father.

"Good boy!" Lauren scratches behind his ear. Lauren looks over at her girlfriend, smiling, "Rise and shine we have company downstairs."

"What time is it?" Camila asks groggery.

"A little past 3 o'clock," Lauren says.

Camila gets up and Thunder wags his tail. Camila smiles at her baby boy and scratches behind his ear.

"Come on baby and afterward we can bathe the dogs," Lauren wraps an arm around Camila's shoulder, kissing her temple.

"Oh my God Thunder is going to be so hard to bathe," Camila groans making Lauren smile.

"It's going to be okay baby girl," Lauren smiles.
