camila just smiled wider as she looked at her girlfriend. “oh lala…i like that idea” she giggled as she bit her bottom lip hearing the hand on her back. “oh yes…i do remember that..” holding lauren’s hand she walked the short distance to the girls car as she got in and sat there. everything with lauren made her heart jump in the best way possible. 

“i’m sure you do,” the older brunette replied with a laugh. “and i am going to hold you to that rule.” lauren squeezed the other girl’s hand softly, bringing it up to her lips to press a soft kiss against camila’s knuckles while she pulled the passenger door open for her. “we can make time to call my parents later too, if you want to say goodnight to noelle before they put her to bed.

“i am so totally ready to have the best birthday ever..” she smiled as she looked at her girlfriend. shit she was totally in love with her, so in love. she caressed lauren’s cheek slowly as she kissed her lips again. “you can ….take this off later…and i encourage it..” a smirk played on her lips. 

“good,” lauren replied, leaning in closer to extend the kiss for a few more seconds. “oh, don’t you worry about that. i already have plans to get you out of this.” the older brunette ran her hand over the exposed skin along camila’s back and smirked, gently tracing her fingers over the girl’s muscles. “there’s a ‘no clothing’ rule this weekend, remember?” she laughed, pulling away slightly to grab onto camila’s hand so she could lead her back to the car.

camila blushed when she was texting lauren, she couldn’t help it. “see you baby” she was all giddy. it had only been an hour or so and she already missed her girlfriend. she couldn’t help it, she wanted to be around her all the time. putting the last touches on her face she placed white earrings into her ears as she heard the woman ring the doorbell. it was the doorbell that jump started her heart and made her nervous. 

grabbing her purse, camila walked over with a smile on her face as she opened up the door to see lauren. her eyes immediately scanning her girlfriends figure. it made her weak in the knees. “wow..you look…breathtaking” camila’s eyes were lit up as she stepped down to meet her girlfriend off of the small little ledge. 

a bright smile formed on her lips as soon as camila stepped into view and she leaned in for a quick kiss, her hand coming to rest on the girl’s hip. “so do you,” she hummed happily as she gently rubbed her hand over the side of her girlfriend’s body. “are you ready to have the best birthday ever?” she asked, pulling back only slightly so she could look into the other girl’s dark eyes.

ftwmilacabello:

camila was looking through her clothes and she had a lot. she had dresses that she bought for her escorting days, they were elegant and looked great on her and while she would love to wear something like that she didn’t think that was appropriate for tonight. simple. it’s what she was going for as she pulled out a dress, it was plain, no jewels no nothing but just the open back and the thin straps. it was a dark shade of blue, perfect to compliment her skin. she didn’t bother with a bra, and a simple thong under, white of course as she started to apply her make up. 

seeing the text she smiled and then nodded, even though she couldn’y see she then typed a reply back to her. ‘yes! i am :)’ sending it back she was finished her make up as she left her hair down but tossled it a little bit with some product. she slipped some flats on, opened toed as she had painted her nails and toes white to match the dress. it was elegant but it was also comfy for her to wear too. 

lauren glanced down at her phone as soon as she felt it vibrate and typed out her response with a grin. “okay, baby. i’ll be there soon.” the surgeon selected one of her designer purses as she exited her bedroom and made her way out of the house, hoping that her short trip to camila’s house would be a quick one. she was fairly certain that the younger girl would love her dress because the dark fabric contrasted light skin tone and hugged all of her curves perfectly.

when she finally pulled into camila’s driveway, she checked over her make-up in the rear view mirror to confirm that her signature red lipstick was perfect before she climbed out of the car to walk up the porch and ring the doorbell. she was a bit nervous because she wanted the rest of the night to be perfect but she knew that camila would enjoy herself no matter where they went because they would be together.

biting her bottom lip she just smiled at the gesture, she loved it. “ummm well if you have to get dressed, why don’t you come back and pick me up..but not crazy later cause i’ll miss you too much” she said as she leaned over to kiss her girlfriend’s lips slowly. “god i love you..okay i’m leaving…pick me up later” kissing her one last time she then got up and out of the car to walk to her front door and then walk inside to go get ready. she was fiddling with her hands, where was lauren going to take her, what were they going to do?

Lauren leaned into the kiss and smiled, reluctantly releasing her hold on the younger girl’s hand after she pulled away. “I love you too. I’ll be back in like an hour or two,” She called out, waiting until her girlfriend was safely inside the house before she pulled out of the driveway to head back to her own home. Apart from the gifts she and Noelle had picked out, she still had one final gift that wasn’t appropriate to open in front of friends or family and she was looking forward to seeing Camila’s reaction. 

After she finally finished getting dressed and applying her makeup, she checked over her appearance once final time in her full length mirror and turned to the side to examine all the angles of her outfit. She wanted to make sure that she looked perfect and she wouldn’t consider her dress ‘good enough’ if it didn’t make Camila want to skip out on the festivities and stay in bed all evening. “Are you ready?” She typed out the message quickly on her phone and send it to her girlfriend,

“yeah i know..okay so i’m thinking black dress…is that too much or is that good and i was gonna wear my hair down, and curl it a little bit..” she asked in hopes of trying to gage at least the atmosphere. her hand slowly moved up and down laurens arm with a smile on her face. “yes it counts for everything i just wanna know but i can’t wait babe..just to spend it with you, i’m here for everything you’ve planned. 

“That sounds perfect,” Lauren replied, grabbing onto Camila’s hand so she could press another kiss against the back of her knuckles. “I’m not going to spoil the surprise but I will say that you’ll have plenty options as to what you want to do when we finally get there.” After they finally arrived in front of Camila’s house, she pulled her car into the driveway and parked it. “Do you want me to stick around or should I come back and pick you up later?”

“it is…i wanna go out with you..” she said to her girlfriend and smiled softly. “okay good cause i’m like a band shirt and jeans i don’t think is gonna cut it..” smiling big as she looked over at lauren. “oh yeah i have tons of dresses, i’m going to wear one..” leaning over she kissed lauren’s cheek. “are you gonna keep this from me…like where were going the whole time??” camila loved surprises but she was too excited. 

Lauren nodded once more and reached over to place her hand on top of her girlfriend’s thigh. “As much as I love seeing you in jeans, you’re right. They’re definitely not going to cut it,” She laughed. “I already told you that we’re going to dinner. Doesn’t that count for something?” If it really came down to it, she knew that she wouldn’t be able to resist her girlfriend’s puppy dog eyes but she didn’t want to ruin all of the surprises that she had in store.

ftwmilacabello: 

camila thought about it, she loved spending one on one time with her girlfriend and they often could do that. but going out seemed to be something they didn’t do a lot of. “why don’t we go out? “ she looked over at her with a smile. she was excited to actually be able to go out and not have to worry about getting home for noelle. “am i okay? or do i have to go home and change??” 

“If that’s what you want,” Lauren replied with a nod. She could certainly understand why the other girl wanted to spend the night out on the town because they were usually stuck hanging out at home—either due to her busy work schedule or the fact that they needed to provide supervision for Noelle. “We’re definitely going to have to change,” She said, chuckling softly under her breath. “A nice dress should be fine. Or slacks and a blouse, if you prefer.” She shrugged. “Nothing too fancy. But we should look presentable.”

camila said bye to her little one but noelle was off before she could even say it fully and she just smiled. holding lauren’s hand she looked at the woman with a big smile. “oh is that right??” she looked at her girlfriend before getting into the car and buckling up. “hmmmm lets see..well can i know whats behind or have a taste of what’s behind option number one?? cause i just wanna be out with you, be out with my girlfriend..and spend the day..maybe relax for a bit..” 

“well.. i’m not sure if i want to ruin the surprises,” lauren teased as she slid back into the driver’s seat and fastened her seatbelt. “generally speaking, we can either spend the day in private or have an evening out on the town.” the older woman carefully backed the car out of the long driveway and exited out the front gate, but she kept a steady and slow speed while she waited for he girlfriend’s final decision. “that’s not counting dinner,” she added. “we’re going out for dinner regardless.”

camila just smiled as she watched lauren and noelle as the little girl had to think about it for a second as she nodded. “yes, we do…you’re gonna have fun baby..” mike immedately took noelle and held her as the two jauregui’s held their granddaughter in between them. camila slipped her hand into lauren’s. it warmed her heart as the little one instantly took to the two of them. “be good, noelle..” “i willlllll…” she smiled at mike and clara and then other to her mothers.

lauren gently squeezed her girlfriend’s hand and gave noelle a small wave. “have fun, mija. we’ll be back tomorrow for mommy’s party,” she said, quickly blowing the child a kiss. “call us if you guys need anything,” she added, but she knew her parents would be fine with the three children. it wasn’t their first time watching after a group of toddlers. “love you,” she called out to the three as she stepped out on to the porch to make her way back to the car. since her parents were hosting the actual party, she kept her plans for camila fairly lowkey and private. she made sure to book the standard dinner reservations but she’d also arranged for them to spend time on her family’s yacht, head downtown to a private cabana, or to take a trip to the perez art museum and check out the different events, pop-up bars, and the terrace that was overlooking the bay. it al just depended on whether camila was in the mood stay in bed all day or hit the town. “so, i’ve got a couple things planned” she told the girl as she pulled open the passenger door. “we’ve got a couple different options, so it’s your choice how you want to spend the day.”

hugging clara tight she relaxed in lauren’s mothers arms. knowing they she and her daughter were being officially embraced into this family felt amazing. “yes absolutely, she would love that and so would i..” camila hugged clara again, the older woman probably had no idea about everything when she got pregnant, she wasn’t sure if lauren told her or mike but being welcomed into a family that she already loved it needed another hug to convey how happy she was. pulling away she looked at lauren with a smile. noelle came running back in. “mommmmyyyyy, mommmaaaa….” she rang out. “abuello is crying..” she looked at the three woman and just shrugged. “what happened??” camila asked and noelle just shrugged again. mike then walked in and looked at clara. “i’m a grandfather?” 

lauren chuckled softly under her breath and stepped forward to pick noelle up and kiss her cheek. she wasn’t even sure if the child understood the magnitude of her declarations, but she was happy the girl felt so comfortable around her family. “they’re happy tears, mija.” she told the child and leaned over to peck her girlfriend’s cheek while her parents embraced one another. “we should get going soon. we still have birthday plans to get to,” she said, grinning as she stepped forward to pass noelle off to one of her parents.

“that’s good. i’m glad,” clara responded, gently rubbing over camila’s back before she heard a little voice ring out. the words that tumbled out of noelle’s mouth caused her to pause and she looked over at lauren and camila for a brief moment before she reached down to scoop the child up into her arms, a fresh set of tears forming in her eyes. “abuelito is in the living room with the twins,” she told the girl, hugging her close while she stared over at her own daughter. she knew how much lauren loved noelle and she was so happy things were finally progressing. after a few seconds she placed noelle back on the floor and ushered her in mike’s direction before looking back at her daughter. “i’m a grandmother?” she asked the couple with tear-filled eyes. 

nodded as she then stopped back to wrap her arm around lauren as she watched noelle basically stop clara in her steps. noelle looked up at the woman with a smile. the little hugged the older woman as she then kissed her cheek. being put down, noelle just looked up. “yes!” she was ushered in the right direction as she began yelling. “abuellooooo!!” she rang out with light footsteps. camila kissed her girlfriend’s cheek as she smiled and then looked at clara. “you’re a grandmother, and lauren’s a mother..” camila said widely as she knew that the two jauregui woman would get emotional. they were all becoming a family and camila was ready for it, she was ready to take the next steps with her girlfriend with moving in, to be a real family other than living apart. 

[ftwljauregui]

clara stepped forward to pull her daughter in for a hug, a few silent tears falling down her cheeks. "i'm so happy for you both," she said, quickly wiping her eyes before she moved over to give camila a hug as well. the two weren't married, but they were already forming a family of their own and clara was more than happy to take on the role of 'grandmother' and 'mother-in-law'. "we have to celebrate!" she laughed, gently squeezing her arms around camila's form before she stepped back to look at the couple. "not this weekend, of course. this is your time," she added. "but next weekend, maybe. we can have a big family cook out and welcome our two newest members."

noelle reached up to hold lauren’s hand as she stood there. seeing the door swing open, camila and noelle smiled – the same smile at that. wrapping her arms around the older jauregui as she hugged her and of course noelle held her hands up so she could get a hug from her abuella. “thank you, it’s been amazing so far..had breakfast opened some presents..” she wasn’t gonna go into crazy detail of course but she just smiled back at lauren before walking in to the house. wrapping her arm around the back of clara’s as it rested on her back gently. “thank you for watching noelle for us..she’s super excited..” and noelle was, the little girl was looking up at clara. “abuella..where’s abuello??” the little one asked with a tilt of her head as she was walking next to the older woman. 

“that’s good. i’m glad,” clara responded, gently rubbing over camila’s back before she heard a little voice ring out. the words that tumbled out of noelle’s mouth caused her to pause and she looked over at lauren and camila for a brief moment before she reached down to scoop the child up into her arms, a fresh set of tears forming in her eyes. “abuelito is in the living room with the twins,” she told the girl, hugging her close while she stared over at her own daughter. she knew how much lauren loved noelle and she was so happy things were finally progressing. after a few seconds she placed noelle back on the floor and ushered her in mike’s direction before looking back at her daughter. “i’m a grandmother?” she asked the couple with tear-filled eyes.

camila instantly broke out into a smile when she heard it come from lauren’s mouth what noelle called her parents. “either way, noelle is gonna have fun – “ when they stopped completely, she knew the little one was going to have a great time. getting out of the car she had pulled noelle out as the little one ran to the door and bounced on her heels. camila grabbed her daughters bag as she looked over at lauren, seeing how excited noelle was. she waited for lauren cause she didn’t want to just walk in. 

“mhm,” lauren hummed in agreement while she climbed out of the car to follow noelle up the front porch. “she’s gonna have a blast.” the surgeon reached down to grab onto the toddler’s hand and rang the doorbell, slowly tracing her thumb over the back of noelle’s hand while they waited for someone to answer the door. she had her own keys to the place, but she usually stopped to ring the doorbell just to make sure she didn’t frighten anyone. after a few moments, the door swung open and her mother stepped forward to greet each one of them with a hug. 

“hey! come on in,” the older woman exclaimed, ushering the group inside while she placed her hand on camila’s upper arm. “and happy birthday to you, mija. how’s your day been so far?”

“with me running around, i’ve made sure she at least knows the basics..” camila just said with a smile on her face. “oh yeah?? she loves seeing them..you’re smiling is vibrant right now babe..what else did you two talk about??” raising an eyebrow at her girlfriend as she looked back at their daughter. “of course, she has been asking about the twins since the last time she saw them..theyre gonna be a handful for them that’s for sure..are the twins staying the whole time or just a night?” she wondered if the jaureguis were gonna have just noelle to bond with over the weekend at all. 

lauren gave a small shrug in response and pulled up the long driveway to park next to her parents’ car. “just how excited they are going to be to see her and how happy they will be to hear her call them her abuelos,” she answered, turning to look over at her girlfriend as soon as the car was pulled to a complete stop. her parents were excited by the prospect of having grandchildren and she knew they would be elated by the new developments between her and noelle. “i’m not sure. i think they’ll be here for the evening and then their parents are going to pick them up after dinner, but they might stay the night. who knows.”

noelle looked at lauren as she grabbed her seatbelt and tugged on it with a smile. camila did the same thing as she smiled at the two of them. she was glad that lauren kept with the tradition and it seemed like the two of them forever will. looking back at their daughter she held lauren’s hand then when she reached over. looking back at her firl she smiled. she knew it was gonna be a great birthday. noelle wad enjoying her ride in the back seat as she looked  around outside. “was getting her jacket and everything on good babe??” 

“mhm,” lauren hummed in response while she ran her thumb over the back of camila’s hand. “she’s good at helping to get herself ready.” the older woman glanced up in the rear view mirror to look at nolle and smiled, watching her for a brief moment before she returned her eyes to the road. “we talked about how much fun she’s going to have with her abuelos,” she said, her smile growing even wider as she turned down her parents’ street. “and the twins, of course.”

taking laurens hand she smiled. “mhmm i got everything..one bag for me and one for noelle. “ she held them both up as they all headed out to the car, noelle waited for her moms to come out and put her in her seat. “babe you wanna put her in as i start the car” asking the woman as she placed the bag in the back seat before she got into the passenger seat and leaned over to turn lauren’s car on. she had transfered noelles car seat over into laurens car yesterday when the two went out. 

lauren nodded and grabbed onto the child’s hand, leading her out to the car to strap her into her carseat before she climbed into the front seat. “belt check?” she asked, glancing up in the mirror to look at her daughter. she could recall camila double checking the status of everyone’s seatbelts every time she climbed into the car with noelle and she didn’t want to let the good habit fall off. after she received proper confirmation she pulled out of the driveway and turned to head towards her parents house, reaching over to grab onto camila’s hand while she drove.
