Keira's POV:
As me, Charlie and sleeping Elleã stand in the hallway I gently nudge Charlie, she looks up at me and I gently push towards the pictures on the walls. "Do you know who that is ?", I ask her quietly, "yeah that's Alex Scott", she replies back, "and who's that ?", I point out another player. "That's Fara", I continue pointing out a bunch of players along the wall getting Charlie to guess who they are. As we're playing this game, Elleã gently starts to wake up. I look down at her as her baby blues open slowly, looking up at me and rubbing her eyes she looks around, " where we ?" , she mumbles. "We're in SGP Ellie", Charlie tells her as she turns around to look at her little sister. Ellie just nods her head before cuddling right back into my chest, but keeping her eyes open this time.
I slowly turn around when we hear the door open. "Charlie, look who's here", I tap Charlie on the shoulder. She turns around and produces a quiet squeal and runs up to the person who opened the door. "Auntie Leah !!!", she says as she wraps her arms around Leah's neck and her legs around her waist. "Hi Charlie", Leah says as she holds Charlie up, hugging her tightly. "Have ya missed me ?", she gently asks as she lets Charlie down. Charlie just nods as she leans into Leah and looks up at her adoringly. "Hey Le", I say, "Hey Kei", she replies "and hello to my little Ellie" she says as she gently gives me a side hug and patting Ellie on the head. Ellie gazes up at her from the crook of my neck and smiles softly. "Lucy told me to come get you guys, everyone has agreed to calm down". Leah opens the door for us and Charlie slowly pokes her head through before deciding to dart into the now quieter common room. I walk in with Ellie and Leah comes in behind me, closing the door gently. I head over to sit next to Georgia with Leah on the other side of me. "Hey guys", I say, everyone starts replying back instantly with hello's and how are you's. Slowly people trickle away into their own conversations and I start up a conversation with G and Leah, as we catch up with each other.
During our conversation I notice Ellie starting to wriggle in my arms and I let her move about in my lap. She then starts crawling between mine, Leah and G's laps. She starts tugging at the hem of my t-shirt, "Mama", "Mama", she calls me, "yes ?", I ask her, "want to go down", she tells me, I put her down on the floor and she sits in between my legs. I continue my conversation with G and Leah, while keeping a close eye on her. I feel a tap at my shoulder and I look up to see Charlie looking down at me, "can I sit with you ?", she asks nervously biting her lip. "Of course you can", I reply. She comes around to the front and sits on the floor in front of Ellie and starts playing with her.
We all turn our heads as we hear the door open and a staff member announces that we can all go into the dining room for dinner. Everyone starts to trickle out of the room in the direction of the dining room. I carefully get up, making sure not to stand on any tiny fingers or feet. I look down to the pair on the floor in front of me, rolling around and giggling. I watch as Lucy picks Ellie up and tickles her, she giggles loudly and tries to look around to see who it is. I help Charlie up and we watch as Lucy turns Ellie around only for Ellie to squeal again having realised it was Lucy who was holding her. We all walk into the dining room to see some people have already grabbed food and we're sitting down and chatting amongst themselves. We queue up with our trays and grab some food. The kitchen staff even had a small plate of food for Ellie. I grab two bottles of water for me and Lucy, and two bottles of orange juice for Charlie and Ellie.
As we're all sat down eating our dinner, Sarina enters the room and goes around saying hello to everyone. Sarina then announces that she has the roommates sorted out. She starts calling out the rooms, "Room 6; Georgia and Leah, Room 8; Keira and Lucy, Room 9; Charlotte and Elleã, Room 10; Millie and Rachel, Room 11;....". When she was finished she grabbed her dinner and went to sit with the rest of the staff and coaches. People started to get up and put their plates away and head out, but not before Millie and Rach announced that we'd be having team bonding in the chill room later at 8pm.
Once we were all finished with our dinner me, Lucy, G, Le, Charlie and Ellie start heading up to our rooms. G and Charlie start racing each other up and down the hallway while me and Le walk next to each other and Lucy walked really slowly behind with Ellie who was walking at a snails pace and babbling to Lucy about anything and everything. When we reached G and Le's room, they headed in and Charlie stopped running around. Our rooms were just across the hallway from and G and Le's. I opened mine and Lucy's room and Charlie bounded in and ran to the bed and jumped on it. I held the door open for Luce and Ell who were slowly catching up. "Walking as slow as humanly possible were we ?", I ask Lucy smiling down at Ellie, who is holding Lucy's hand and concentrating on walking in a straight line. "We were very interested in everything on the walls and the floor and now we're concentrated on walking in a straight line, aren't we Ellie", Lucy replied smiling down at Ellie and then smiling up at me. Ellie let go of Lucy's hand having spotted Charlie jumping on the bed and ran over to the bed and tried to climb up again and again, before turning around and running back over to Lucy to help her up on the bed. While Lucy lifts her up onto the bed and plays with the two of them, I unlock the door dividing our rooms from each other and grab Charlie and Ellie's suitcases and wheeling them into their room. Then I head into the bathroom and start unpacking my toiletries. When I return to my room Lucy is lying on the bed with Ellie lying on her stomach fiddling with Lucys glasses and Charlie holding both of Lucys arms down. "Right pj time", Lucy announces, before snaking her arms out from underneath Charlie's grasp and getting off the bed with Ellie in her arms. "Nooooo", Charlie whines. "If you don't get your pj's on you won't be coming down to the team bonding", Lucy explains to her. Charlie immediately races into her room and grabs her pj's before heading into the bathroom to get changed. Lucy heads into their room to get Ellie into her pj's. Once we're all ready I grab a blanket and a bottle of milk to heat up for Ellie and we head down.
