A Hug Instead of Saying Something (Camren)

Chapter Thirty-One

Lauren's POV

When my mom got to our house Camila and I said goodbye to the kids then we loaded everything in the car and we were on our way. We decided to take my car and leave the SUV with my mom; she was going to stay at our house for a while to help us out. I love that my mom was so willing to help; it certainly made things a lot easier.

I remembered when I had Kenzie I thought that she was being a bit overbearing; I was a first time mom I wanted to figure things out on my own or I would have never learned. It wasn't until the kids started rolling in is when I really appreciated her wanting to be there.

"Did you put the address in the GPS?" Camila asked.

"What does that look like?" I smiled pointing to the screen in the car.

She shakes her head. "Don't get smart."

"I'm already smart babe." I teased.

She laughed. "Can we stop and get something to eat before we get on the interstate?"

"Sure, let me feed you two. Subway?" I asked.

"Sounds great and they have really good cookies their also." She said excited.

It was good hearing her talk about food again, her morning sickness was subsiding and I was happy.

Camila and I stopped to Subway and we both got a foot long, one half for now the other for later. She also got her cookies. I ate as I drove there wasn't much traffic so I knew this would be a smooth ride.

"Babe you have a little mayonnaise by your lip." Camila said reaching over and wiping it off with her thumb.

I smiled at her. "Thanks."

I watched as she licked it off of her finger like it was nothing. "No problem, so I really think we should think of names on the drive." She suggested.

"Camila, you know how I feel about that." I said.

I don't like pre-naming the child; I like to sit with the baby for a little bit to see what name would truly fit them.

"I know Lo but there is a name that I really like and I just want you to consider it please." She said and I could hear the pout in her voice.

I turned my eyes for a second to see the pout for myself and it was there, after looking at her briefly I turned my eyes back to the road.

"What's the name?" I said giving in to her.

"Isaac Mateo." She states.

I actually always liked the name Isaac but never thought about naming my child that, maybe that was our son's name.

"I like it I'll give you this one, but this baby," I pointed to her belly. "Doesn't get named until their in our arms."

She smiles widely. "Deal."

The rest of the ride we just entertained ourselves and sung along to the radio, when we were about thirty minutes away Camila brought up Ally and her sentence. We never really talked about it because it was a very depressing subject. I've known Ally for years and I may not have liked her much but I never wished anything bad upon her, and I certainly did not think she was capable of assault.

"You know that Brandon still messages me from time to time, he's the only one who hasn't harassed me when his brother died." I told her.

"Yeah you told me that, but Brandon always minded his own business Ally was forever in yours." She said.

"Well he was telling me about how his parents reacted after the verdict; he said you would have thought another one of their children died. He also said that his mom hates us, she blames us for everything." I shared.
