Pairing(s): Main- Logan/Camille, Minor- Kendall/Jo, Carlos/Stephanie, James/Numerous
Camille pulled her car into visitor parking at Rocque records and turned off the engine. She had told Logan that she would come by and they could go get lunch together, since they had barely seen each other lately. She got out and went around the back. Lacey was asleep in her carseat. She was in a little pink dress, the one that was Camille's favorite. It was pink checked with a green butterfly over her heart. It had a matching pink hat with the same butterfly.
Camille undid the car seat and grabbed the diaper bag before heading up to the fifth floor of Rocque Records. Once she was in the lobby she set Lacey down on the floor in front of the couch and sat down. It wasn't long before Kelly rushed in, paperwork in hand, looking like she late to the recording session. But she stopped dead in her tracks when she saw Camille. Her face lit up when she saw the sleeping baby in the carrier.
"She's gotten so big," Kelly said softly. She set her papers down on the coffee table and walked over, sitting down next to Camille.
"Yeah, she certainly has. I can't believe you haven't seen her since she was born. You should've come over," Camille said.
"I didn't want to be pushy," Kelly said. Lacey's eyes opened slowly and she yawned. Kelly smiled ear to ear and looked at Camille. "Can I hold her?" she asked.
"Of course," Camille said, bending down to unhook her daughter. She picked her up and handed her to her 'Aunt Kelly'. Kelly's heart melted as soon as Lacey was in her arms.
"She looks like...well, actually..." Kelly faultered.
"She looks like James, I know. We're still trying to figure out why," Camille said, leaning back.
Kelly laughed slightly. "I didn't want to sound rude by saying that, but she does. All except for the eyes. You can definitely tell that she's Logans, but she looks a lot like James."
Camille nodded, yawning. "I'm exhausted. She hasn't learned day from night quite yet. She's getting better though."
Kelly looked at her, nothing but seriousness in her eyes. "Let me keep her during lunch. You and Logan go out together."
Camille's eyes opened wide at the offer. She hadn't let anyone keep Lacey when she wasn't there. She was the definition of over protective. But, for some reason, she knew that Kelly would be a good first baby sitter.
"Um, ok. That sounds great," she said.
Kelly smiled and looked down at Lacey, who was playing with Kelly's necklace. "You're going to spend lunch time with Auntie Kelly!" she said happily. She looked back at Camille. "Wanna go watch the guys record?" she asked.
Camille nodded happily. "Sure."
It only took fifteen minutes to wrap up before taking a break for lunch. Kelly spent the entire time happily oohing and cooing at Lacey. Camille fell asleep in her chair, leaning against the table to hold her head up. It wasn't until Logan woke her up that she knew they were done. Soon, everyone left the building, leaving Lacey, Kelly, and Gustavo alone.
"You have to admit it, Gustavo. She's adorable," Kelly said, following Gustavo to his office.
"She is cute. She looks like James, though," he said, sitting down behind his desk, ruffling through papers.
Kelly nodded. "Apparently everyone thinks so. But you look like your daddy, don't you? Yes you do!" Kelly said, looking at Lacey. Lacey simply looked back up at her, confused by Kelly's suddenly squeaky and happy voice.
"You're going to scare her," Gustavo said.
Kelly looked at him. "Like you would be able to make her laugh." the way she said it was almost like a challenge.
Gustavo looked at her. "I would before you would," he said matter-o-factly.
Kelly rolled her eyes. "Hold her, then," she said.
"No way," Gustavo answered.
"Why not?"
"Holding babies freaks me out. They're so small and...breakable."
Kelly smiled. "You're scared," she stated bluntly.
"I am not! I'm just uncomfortable." Gustavo looked away from Kelly's accusing stare.
"Ok. Hey, watch her for a second. I have to run to the bathroom." Kelly set Lacey down in her car seat, which was on top of the desk, and walked out of the room.
Gustavo looked at the baby and Lacey looked back at him, her big brown eyes scanning him for any sign that they had met before. She didn't find anything and her lip started to quiver.
"Don't cry. Please don't cry," Gustavo said. He was terrified that she would start screaming and Kelly would come in and yell at him for upsetting her.
Lacey started whimpering and squirming around. Gustavo pulled her car seat closer to him. He took in a deep breath and picked her up, holding her close to him. She looked up at him, her eyes still holding tears. Her little hand went and rested itself on his chest and she smiled up at him.
"Hey, you smiled," Gustavo said.
Lacey kicked her feet happily. Gustavo smiled down at her, but looked up when he heard laughter. There, in the doorway, was Kelly, holding her phone up.
"You did not take a picture," Gustavo said.
"Oh, yes. I did."
All(except Gustavo): AWWWWWWWWWWW!
