“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. 

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. 

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.

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. 

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,

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. 

“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?”

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. 

“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.”

“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.” 

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.”

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. 

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.”

“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. 

“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?” 

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.”

“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.” 

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.
