Jude Bellingham - Home In Time

Y/N’S POV

Jude had been away for matches the past few days and he wasn’t sure when he was due back. This normally wouldn’t matter to me that much but it was our daughter’s third birthday, and the one thing she had begged for was for her dad to be there. I made no promises that he would be home in time so that I wouldn’t crush her heart with the promise he would be there to celebrate. It was the day before her birthday and my sister was round to help with the last minute wrapping and decorating. It was looking like Jude wasn’t going to be there for Poppy’s birthday. I was disappointed for her and also for Jude because he couldn’t be there to see his little girl. My sister had left around 9 o’clock and so I went to check to make sure Poppy was still asleep before I called Jude as I knew it would upset her more. She was out for the count and so I crept back downstairs careful not to wake her. ‘Can we call?’ I messaged Jude. Moments later my phone was ringing and Jude’s name popped up. “Hey babe, how are you?” “Yeah I’m alright, but its looking like I won’t make it back in time for tomorrow the plane was delayed by a few hours and our coach hasn’t arrived yet and there’s been no talk of leaving the airport. I really am sorry babe.” “No don’t worry about it Jude you’ll be home soon and then we can have another birthday celebration or something at a later time. And yeah, Poppy will most likely be disappointed but we can’t change the situation.” “Yeah I know but I feel bad, its her third birthday and she’ll actually know what’s going on and I won’t be there to see her.” “Yeah I know, but we will figure something out.” “Anyways I’ve got to go Y/N Farke is calling us.” “Okay see you soon, love you.” “Love you too.” With that I hung up the phone and went into mine and Jude’s bathroom to have a shower and an early nights sleep as tomorrow was gonna be a busy day. My alarm went off at half 6 so I got In the shower and got ready for the day ahead. Once I was dressed I went to wake up Poppy and get her dressed. “Happy birthday my little princess.” She smiled widely at me and than thanked me. “Daddy?” “Not yet baby soon I promise. I bet by the time you wake up tomorrow he’ll be home. I put her into a little yellow dress and then brushed her little curls. We went downstairs to get breakfast. “I made pancakes with chocolate chips just for you.” “Yayy!” Halfway through breakfast the door rang. “Oh I reckon that’ll be Granny and Grandpa, wait there and I’ll go let them in.” I walked over to the front door and opened it revealing my parents. I greeted them and led them into the kitchen where they wished Poppy a happy birthday. “Have you done her presents yet Y/N?” My dad questioned. “No we were waiting for you both. Poppy turned her attention onto us at the mention of presents. I laughed and picked her up. “Do you want to open your presents?” “Yes please.” We walked into our lounge and she began ripping the wrapping paper off with delight. The doorbell went again and I imagined it was the postman with cards or something. I opened the door and Jude was stood there with an armful of presents and a massive smile on his face. “Jude! Welcome home baby.” “Hey Y/N I missed you.” “I thought you couldn’t make it back in time.” “Well we as a team pulled a few strings and managed to get taxis organised for everyone.” “ I am so glad you’re here, Poppy will be so happy to see you.” Jude walked inside and put his stuff down so he could properly hug me. He followed behind me as we went to the living room. “Poppy, there is someone here to see you.” Jude popped out from behind me and Poppy ran into his arms. “Daddddy!” “Hey princess, happy birthday I missed you.” “Thank you.” Poppy pulled Jude to sit down with her whilst she opened her remaining presents. “Its good to have you back babe.” “It’s good to be back.” “Mummy said you weren’t coming.” “I wouldn’t miss your birthday for the world.” Jude pulled Poppy into a hug.
