Camila kept her hands on the walker she was given. She was 25 years old and forced to use a walker to get around. "I feel like I'm 80, baby." She chuckled some as they continued moving slowly down the hallway.

Lauren walked along side her fiancé as she encouraged her through her daily walking exercises. "You're still cute, babe." She said softly as she rested her hand on Camila's lower back. "You're getting stronger." She said softly. She nodded her head as they wandered down the hall at a slow pace. 

Camila's leg was throbbing, but she needed to keep the strength in it while the injuries continued to heal. "They said I could go home soon... so I can go home with you and Taylor." She smiled as she looked at her fiancé.

"I know. You just need to keep working harder. It will come sooner than you think." Lauren said softly. The time apart had been hard on them...especially since taking Taylor home without his mommy. Lauren had taken a leave from work to be with the baby and Camila.

"Will you bring him in later so I can hold him again?" Camila asked, looking at Lauren in the eye.

"I will. It's nap time now. He's with Dinah and Normani this afternoon." She said softly. Lauren was so thankful that the two women agreed to help her with the baby until Camila was full healed.

Camila stopped for a minute to take a breather. "I'm sure he's loving the time with his aunts." She reached out for Lauren's hand for a moment. "I can't wait to be home with you two. I hate it here." She took another step before sitting down on a bench.

Lauren nodded, "I know you do. It's only a few more days." She said with a soft smile. She helped the woman sit on the bench as she stayed standing. 

"Hang on... my leg's throbbing some." Camila leaned back some to relax and smile up at her. The rest of her body had healed up just fine. "I just want to hold him again. I miss not seeing him all of the time."

When she heard Camila say her leg was hurting, Lauren got on her knees and massaged the area gently. "I miss you being home. For a lot of reasons." She said as she worked the area over with her hands. She looked up into Camila's eyes and smiled. "He misses you too. It will be nice to finally be together as a family in our home."

Camila reached out for Lauren's hand before she leaned in a little bit more to her. "I just have to make sure I can walk well enough before I'm at home and I try to pick him up. Say you're not around and I pick him up for whatever reason. I don't want to fall." She lifted her head some to press a soft kiss to Lauren's lips. "I love you... thank you for everything you've done while I've been here. I hate that all of this is dumped on you right now."

"You're not dumping anything on me. I took a leave from work..." Lauren said. Her fiancé knew this, but she didn't know for how long. "It's indefinite...but mostly until you're fully healed and can get back to work, too." She said as she returned her fiancé's kiss. "I love you, too." She said softly. "I wouldn't rather be anywhere else...but I do want you to come home. So get better quickly." She joked.

Camila knew that Lauren had taken a leave from work to help with Taylor and with her while she was healing. "My job isn't that strenuous, thankfully. So once I'm up and walking on my own I should be able to get back to work in no time. My stomach is mostly healed. The doctor said another week and he'd lift my restriction on picking things up."

"Yeah. I know. I'm thinking I may stay home for a while." Lauren said as she stood back up and sat next to Camila on the bench. "So I can help you out at work if necessary." She said softly as she grabbed Camila's hand.
