Dinah Jane:
She hasn't spoken a word since we've been back to her parents home. The car ride from the park was quiet; too quiet and I couldn't help but to notice how Lauren stared off into space, obviously deep in thought. The moment we walking into the house she ran to Angie and cried in her arms. Seeing my girlfriend this broken really hurts because I don't know how to comfort her.

"She'll come around." A voice softly spoke, pulling me from my trance as I watched Lauren sleeping soundly on the bed.
I turned to see Taylor standing near the door with Gabby on her hip. "Has she ever told you much about your mom?" I asked.
Taylor sighed. "Just that she died...I never really asked because I always considered Angie and Sasha as my moms. Plus I always knew that the topic of her upset Lauren...I'm guessing it didn't go well?"
I shook my head. "Nope, not even close. Gabby isn't bothering you is she?"
Taylor smiled bright and poked Gabby's nose causing her to giggle. "No she's so sweet."
"I wish you guys would stop lying. She's a spawn of Satan." I joked.
She playfully rolled her eyes. "Yeah right...hey um can I talk to you about something?" She asked.
I nodded. "Y-yeah sure. What's up?"
"I'm scared." She mumbled.
I furrowed my eyebrows and stood from the bed. "Scared? About what?"
She started to cry and Gabby poured. She really didn't like to see other people cry and I definitely needed to get Taylor to stop crying before Gabby decided to cry as well.
"To die." She said just above a whisper.
I wrapped my arm around her and guided her the family room and over towards the sofa. Once she sat down Gabby climbed onto Taylor's lap and wiped her tears away. "No cry please Tay Tay."
Taylor smiled slightly. "See...she's sweet."
I chuckled and sat down as well. "Sweetheart what made you think of that?"
She shrugged. "Today at my water aerobics class I found out that another kid that I met at the hospital died last night...her name was Stormy and she had Leukemia. She and I met when I was 8 and she was 12. We became great friends and we'd always ask if I was afraid to die. Then I didn't know why she asked me that so I said no...but I am."
"I'm sorry about your friend Tay, but you know I think everyone is afraid to die...i am for sure but no one knows when it'll be their time to go."
"Yeah...it could be any day for me now." She said sadly.
She shouldn't be thinking like that.
"Taylor I thought you um-"
She scoffed. "Yeah you'd pretend to accept it too if you had mothers like mine. Ever since I can even remember they've shielded me, from nearly everything and every night Angie walks into my room to check on me, a few times I wake up in her arms and I know that it's because she's afraid. I don't like worrying them Dinah but it's not fair. I get treated like a baby. I'll never get to join the olympics, go to prom, or do anything because I could die any moment now. They moved me down on the list...it's like they're not even trying to help me anymore...or ever."
Hearing her talk like that made my heart ache. She's such a brace person and she smiles constantly but personally it's just to hide how afraid she is to face something that she's lived with all of her life.
"You know Lauren is like my other half. No matter how far away she is from me she texts me every second of the day to see how I'm doing and she's who I really worry about. For so long Dinah she's lived for me and not for herself, now she has to do that because she has someone to help her through anything. Dinah I need you to promise me that no matter what...you won't tell anyone that I talked to you about this, and that if I were to die today that you'll help keep her happy."
I nodded slightly and sighed, fighting back tears. "I promise." I said just above a whisper.
She held out her pinky and I instantly knew to do the same. We hooked our pinkies momentarily before I pulled away and pulled her into a hug.

Lauren:
"Babe. Wake up."
I groaned and opened one eye to see Dinah standing over me. "No..."
She shook her head. "Get up."
I ignored her and closed my eye. "Leave me alone." I mumbled.
There was silence and then I felt a small body on top of me. Suddenly my eyes was forced opened by tiny cold hands and I was now looking into a pair of big brown eyes. "Get you ass up!"
Dinah busted out laughing.
Oh hell no. I gasped and sat up with Gabby clinging onto me. "Dinah! Did you tell her to tell me that?!
She stopped laughing and just smiled at me. "What? Why would I tell her to do such a thing?"
I rolled my eyes and looked down at Gabby. "Do you want a spanking Gabreyella?" I asked.
She shook her head. "No."
"Okay well don't say it again. Okay?" I said sternly.
She pouted and ran out of the room crying. "Tay Tay!"
I shook my head. "I wouldn't actually spank her Dinah...I didn't mean to make her cry."
Dinah sat down on the bed next to me. "She'll be okay, I shouldn't have told her to say it. I think you'd be the one to discipline our kids anyways."
Our kids.
"Dinah...I'm not confusing Gabby am I?" I asked.
Dinah furrowed her eyebrows. "What do you mean?"
"Well she refers to me as her mommy all of a sudden and as far as I knew, if anyone outside looking in, they'd think she was actually mine. She's grown on me and I love her...I just don't want to confuse her."
Dinah pulled me into her arms. "Babe she's fine. You both have a beautiful bond and seeing you both together warms my heart. When she's older we'll explain everything to her, you know with Amber, me...all of this mess."
Gabby ran back into the room and jumped onto my legs. "Ouch. Gabby." I hissed.
Dinah reached over to move her. "Stop that you little monster. What's wrong?"
She whined and pulled away from Dinah so that she could climb onto me. "I sowwy mommy."
I smiled and kissed her forehead. "It's okay princess, we don't say bad words right?"
She shook her head. "No bad wuds."
"Lauren...are we not going to talk about what happened with your mother?" Dinah whispered from behind me?"
I shook my head and sighed. "Dinah...please not right now. When I'm ready."
She wrapped her arms around me and placed them onto my stomach. "That's understandable. I won't ask."
"Thank you." I mumbled earning a kiss as a response from her.
Gabby tapped me and furrowed her eyebrows. "Mommy...you tummy full?" She asked pointing to my stomach.
Shit.
I looked back at Dinah and she nodded. I guess we'll be telling her now.
"No...well yeah. Gabby do you want a baby?" I asked.
"I want a ducky. No babies."
Dinah snickered. "Well you're going to be a big sister Gabby."
Gabby glared at the both of us and sighed. "Don't want it."
"Yeah I told your nana the same thing...she started popping out babies left and right."
I elbowed Dinah's stomach. "Stop it. Gabby babies are fun. Besides you can help mama and I with him or her. How does that sound?"
Gabby shook her head. "Yeah...but duckies more fun Mommy."
"My kid is an ass-"
"Dinah! Stop it. She gets it from you." I shouted at Dinah.
She glared at me and pinched me so hard that I shrieked and literally knocked Gabby onto the floor in the process of me jumping out of bed.
"WHAT THE FUCK!? DINAH THAT HURT!" I hollered before picking up Gabby and comforting her before she even thought about crying. "I'm sorry Gabby I didn't mean to push you...your mama is an idiot." I said softly as I kissed her cheek.
"I o'tay Mommy."
She looked at me with wide eyes before hurrying over to me. "Shit...Lauren I'm sorry. Are you two okay?"
I moved away from her and rolled my eyes. "You're so lucky I'm holding Gabs right now."
Dinah groaned. "I didn't mean to pinch you that hard babe. I'm sorry."
"You're going to be sorry. Sleep with one eye open from now on."
"Shit..." She mumbled.
"Hey, I'm not sure what you guys are doing in here but we're going out for dinner tonight."
We turned to see Angie standing near the door.
"Okay, where to?"
"Blue Collar. Come on little lady I'll help you get your shoes on. Hurry up please you two." Angie responded as she walked in to take Gabby before leaving.
Dinah and I looked at one another and I smirked.
"You gave that trick a $50 bill...you think she'll pretend to forget about that night?"
Dinah chuckled. "Definitely not. This should be interesting let's go."
...
Had no idea how to end this so here you go.
This is probably the last chapter of them being in Florida. If you want to see anything specific happen in the next filler chapter(s) message me and I'll make it happen.

Oh and Sarah...congratulations, you played yourself. 🌚😈
