16. Know that I love you

LARA'S POV

The plane landed a few minutes ago and what I want to do right now is get off and start doing something. I want to know what happened in Cam's accident, I know it would help Cam get better, but it would also reassure me, because that accident wasn't normal.

As soon as we were able to get off the plane, Serena appeared next to me with the tablet in her hand looking at something "We have to meet with people from the Federation since they want to know from you the reason why you need to look at the car and to tell you something they didn't tell me. Of course, I'll go with you in case you need me to help you with something" she said without looking away from the device and I smiled, because I knew with her, I would achieve what I set out to do. "Then the car will be left in one of the Silverstone garages and you will have to be supervised at all times," she informed and I nodded, because I was already expecting something like that. "Will they leave me the reports they made after the accident?" I asked and she nodded. "It took a while to get it, but in the end with a little persuasion I got it."

I nodded again and we continued walking through the terminal. "I know you're angry with what happened with Cameron, but I know that man regrets what he said to you," she said after a few minutes in silence. "I know he regrets it, but that doesn't mean what he said didn't hurt me. Why does everyone think I slept with Sam?" I asked, frustrated, because Cam hadn't been the first to tell me, and even though I understood Cam's insecurity with himself is the real problem here, I don't understand where the rest of them get it from. "I have no idea, but people are always going to talk about those things, you shouldn't care what they say" my friend said kindly "And I don't give a shit what the rest of the world thinks, what bothers me is that people who have known me for a long time think that."

"I don't know why they do it, but I can assure you Cameron only asked it because at this moment he feels insecure about his physique" she informed and I nodded. That was already something I knew. "I know, and I will do whatever it takes to make sure he doesn't feel that way, but right now what I want to do is calm down and focus on that car" I answered and she nodded. "At least you consider you have to calm down, if it were me, I would have attacked Sam without hesitation."

I couldn't help but laugh, because I knew it would be true, and I would do the same if I didn't know Cameron's reasons in advance and everything that is happening between us. "The only thing I ask of you is that you don't divorce that man, Lara, because he loves more than anything in the world" Serena said with a smile on her face "And I have no intention of doing it, I can assure you that" I responded with a smile on my face, that was the last of my resources and which I hoped wouldn't never resort.

"Do you want to go home to something or do we go straight to those people?" She asked and I raised an eyebrow "Okay, I get it. Thank goodness I called two cars, because otherwise they would have to wait" she said laughing and I turned to look at the rest, to find Cam's gaze fixed on me "Before we go, do you think I'll have a few minutes?" I asked and Serena looked in the same direction I'm looking. "Cam?" she asked simply and I nodded "I'll distract the rest. Do you want me to tell them the reason we are here?" She asked and I denied "Eli and Sam will have an idea, but I want to explain it to them, just to make sure how Cam takes better" I answered honestly and without taking my eyes off my husband "Perfect then, I'll tell them it's a team thing." She responded with a big smile and left with the rest who ended up paying attention to her, while Cam continued walking until he reached me.

"Are you still angry?" he asked, regret evident in his voice. "Maybe a little upset, but more hurt about you thinking I would do something like that" I said sincerely, looking away from him. "I'm sorry, I know I shouldn't have doubted you, really, but I just don't know, since he knows so much about you at this moment, more than me, the idea crossed my mind. The last thing I wanted was to hurt you, really." He responded and I sighed, because I already knew that "I know, don't worry about it anymore. I just want to clear my head a little and that's it."

"May I know what are we doing here?" He asked curiously and looking at my hand, probably debating whether he could hold it or not, so I ended up holding it myself and intertwining our fingers. "I'll tell you later, right now I have to go to a meeting," I said. The last thing I have now is time to explain to him delicately and calmly that I want to know what happened in his accident. "So, it will take you a while to get home?" He asked and I shrugged my shoulders. "I have no idea, but if you see that I'm not home around nine, then call me, because I'm probably distracted."

"Okay" he said with a small smile on his face, a little calmer, looking at our intertwined fingers, so I put my hand on his chest to get his attention. "I know this isn't easy for you, but I want you to know that I love you, Cam, more than anything and I want to help you get over this bump… I know we'll get through it, but I what I want you to keep in mind at all times is that I love you more than anything."

Cameron smiled and gave me a kiss which I gladly accepted, but I really had to leave if I want to know sooner what happened. "Now I have to go, go home and rest, it will be good for you," I said with a smile on my face. "I'll call you at nine?" He asked and I nodded. "Just in case," I responded and he laughed.

Shortly after, Serena and I went to the place where the meeting would be held and after an hour and a half, we went to the garage where the car is where they explained to me what the reports said and what the conclusion had been, to sign the papers that I would not divulge any information from the car to my team. I also asked them to leave more, because I'm completely sure at some point I would call Bianca in case I saw something weird in the car.

It was half past nine when I got home. I had already texted Cam to tell him I would be arriving around that time. When I arrived, there's only Cam since apparently my sister and Eli had gone out, thus leaving the house to ourselves. "I thought it would take you longer to come back, to be honest," my husband said with a small smile on his face. "Yeah, me too" I admitted and he laughed. "Tomorrow, I have an appointment with the gynaecologist, in case you want to keep coming."

"Are we going to go home now?" He asked and I couldn't help but laugh "No, we're not going" I responded with a smile on my face "I don't understand" he said in a confused tone "Let's say I have two gynaecologists, one here and one at home" I informed him and he nodded "Then you always had to come back here for your check-ups" he pointed out and I denied "Nor, Serena made sure that in case I was outside the country, she would find me the best gynaecologist, but normally she fit it with my meetings with her, so I came here almost always"

"And what are they going to do to you?" He asked curiously and I couldn't hide my smile "They will ask me how I've been since the last appointment and do an ultrasound to make sure everything is okay with our child" I informed and I could see the sparkle that appeared in his eyes when I said our child. "Can you see anything on the ultrasound?" He asked excitedly and I shrugged my shoulders. "I guess, but I swear that no matter how much the doctor says that this is our child, I can't see it," I answered and he laughed. "Then I have to assume I'll have to see it."

"Of course, you will see it because it now, it will be three months old and it will be seen much bigger than the first time, but I swear in the first month you couldn't see anything, or at least I couldn't see it" I informed him and he was left thinking "Don't you have ultrasounds of before?" He asked with a frown. "I had them on my phone and I sent them to the girls, but for some reason I lost my things on my phone with the ultrasound, so I would have to search the chats to see where it could be or ask someone to find it and send them to me"

"And why have I never seen them?" He questioned and I smiled "Let's say when all our problems started, your mother made a group that you weren't in" I revealed and he laughed "Something very typical of mom. Sometimes her character reminds me of yours" he responded and I laughed, because you could say we had a similar character. "I know, even my mother tells me that," I informed him and he laughed once again. "Do you want something specific for dinner?" He asked, getting up from the couch and going to the kitchen. "I don't care" I answered honestly. "Something you can't eat or makes you nauseous?" He asked curiously, "I can't sniff lemon cake. Nor fish and vegetables" I responded and he turned in my direction "Fish wasn't something you liked before" he informed and I nodded "But now not even the one I like; I can assure you"

"Okay, so what do you normally eat?" He asked, turning again to look through the glass of the refrigerator. "Candy, a lot of candy," I said quickly. "Apart from candy, you will eat something else," he pointed out and I nodded. "Also, cheese, a lot of cheese and pasta. Some salad from time to time, but it's not something I tend to crave, really."

"Then you only eat pasta" he stated and I shrugged "Pretty much, or anything with cheese except nachos" I replied and Cameron laughed "At least something hasn't changed" he replied and I nodded, because I didn't like nachos before, which was a relief something is the same as before the pregnancy.

"What do you think about pasta carbonara?" He asked and I quickly nodded, it's something at that moment I wanted and I didn't know "It seems perfect to me, at least tell me we have cheese at home" I asked and before I could look in the refrigerator, a cheese appears in front of me "I assumed it was something you were going to want so I dragged your sister to go buy cheese. Don't worry, we have more. Sam will bring you the candy tomorrow" my best friend informed and I got up to give her a hug, at this moment I love her more than anyone in the world "You don't know how much I love you right now, Eli"

All she did was laugh, and I could see how Cam denied it, but with a big smile on his face. After almost an hour and a half and me almost finishing the cheese, Cam finished making the food, which I ate more than I normally would, and after talking for a while, we all went to our rooms, not going unnoticed that Eli and Bianca had gone to the same room.

Cameron and I got ready for bed and before going to bed, I made sure the irritation on his leg wasn't getting any worse, which it wasn't. Luckily for Cam, he quickly fell asleep and even though I must have fell asleep too due to the trip and meetings, I wasn't able to fall asleep, so I ended up getting up, leaving a note for Cam that I was going out and going to the only place I felt I should go at the moment... the Silverstone garage where my husband's car is.
