Bad Things

Chapter 20

"It's not your fault. She wanted to go, you couldn't stop her." Camila said.

Swallowing thickly, Lucy nods her head. "Okay."

Camila leaned over and pecked Lucy's lips.

"I love you." Lucy says softly.

"I love you too." Camila smiled softly.

Stretching slightly, Lucy releases a soft yawn.

"Go to bed." Camila said softly. "You need sleep."

Nodding, Lucy kisses Camila before getting up and leaving.

Camila watched Lucy leave before focusing her attention back on her work.

"Mama, can we talk?" Ben asks softly.

Camila looked up at her son. "What's up?" She asked softly.

"I think my girlfriend might be pregnant." Ben says slowly. "But we always used protection."

Camila's eyes widened. "Ben you're fifteen, you should not be doing it at fifteen."

Swallowing thickly, Ben takes a deep breath. "I know, but we use protection mama."

"That doesn't matter, Ben. I thought we taught you better." Camila said. "You shouldn't even know what sex is yet."

"I'm sorry." He mumbles softly.

Camila took a deep breath and closed her eyes for a moment. "You think she's pregnant?"

Nodding his head slowly, the fifteen year old takes a deep breath. "She said she's late."

"Late? That doesn't mean she's pregnant." Camila said. "And if you wore protection then she's definitely not pregnant."

"Are you sure?" Ben asks worriedly.

"Positive." Camila said.

Relaxing, Ben runs a hand through his hair. "Okay."

"So you can relax now." Camila said.

"Thank you mama." Ben says softly.

"No problem Ben, now get some sleep. You have school tomorrow." Camila smiled softly.

Nodding his head, Ben makes his way to his room.

Camila focused her attention back on her work.

Addison's loud cry catches her attention.

Sighing, Camila abandoned her work and went to the crying baby.

As soon as Addison sees Camila she releases a soft coo.

"What is it?" Camila asked softly.

Cooing again, the baby kicks her feet excitedly.

"You should be sleeping." Camila said.

Pouting, Addison kicks her feet again.

Camila sighed. She lifted the baby up and rocked her to sleep.

The baby whines softly, she didn't want to go to sleep.

"Sleep." Camila said softly.

Whining, Addison kicks her feet.

"Addison. It's nap time. You're supposed to be sleeping." Camila said.

Tears prick at the baby's eyes and she kicks her feet.

"Don't give me that face." Camila said seriously.

Addison's bottom lip trembles as she fights back tears.
