Keira's POV:

We arrived at Molineux Stadium and all loaded off the bus and walked into the stadium. I had Elleã on my hip as we walked through the stadium to the pitch. We all put our stuff into the changing room on our way to the pitch. I walked around the pitch pointing out to Elleã where she would be sitting during the match with Mine and Lucy's families. She then wanted to get down so I put her down and she held my hand as we walked around looking at the stadium. As we walked back towards to the tunnel we met Lessi, Tooney and Mary who were getting their photo taken. The photographer then turned to me and asked if I wanted a photo of me and Elleã, I nodded my head and he began to take photos of us as I crouched down Elleã ran into my arms and I tickled her which made her laugh. I let go of her and she ran over to Mary who was closest and hid behind her legs, giggling at me. I came up beside Mary and she tried to run away still giggling and I quickly swooped in to pick her back up. She wriggled and squirmed in my arms before giving up and settling into my arms. We walked into the tunnel as I saw people already coming into the stadium to cheer us on.

As I walked into the changing room I spotted Lucy in her cubby with her Bronze 2 shirt hung up behind her. I walked over to her on my way to my Walsh 4 shirt hung up two cubbies down from her and stopped in front of her just as Charlie came skidding into the room and ran over to us. We both looked at her confused as she began to explain that Millie and Rachel had been chasing her, she then proceeded to plop herself onto Lucy's knee leaning into her chest and breathing heavily like she'd just played a 90 minute game. We both chuckled before Lucy grabbed my hand and said "mum is already in the stands, so we can bring these two over on our way out to warm up", I just nodded and squeezed her hand in response. I then headed to my cubby to get changed and ready for warm ups. Elleã just sat in between my legs as I got ready and played with my socks pulling them up and down my legs. Charlie then came over to me with a shirt in her hand that had Walsh 4 on it. "Here's Ellie's shirt", she said while handing me the shirt before turning around grinning to show me her Bronze 2 on her back. She then skipped back over to Lucy. I picked Elleã up off her spot on the floor and stood her between my legs, trapping her from escaping and then changed her into her Walsh 4 shirt. She started babbling to me as I tied up her hair and then fixed mine just as Lucy and Charlie came over to us. Some of the girls had started heading out to warm up, so I knew it was time to leave.

I picked Elleã up and grabbed my warm up jumper and we headed out Charlie walked in front of me and Lucy who had Charlie's backpack in her hand and I had Elleã. Charlie stopped at the top of the steps onto the pitch and asked "which way ?", Lucy and I caught up with her and Lucy grabbed her shoulders and turned her to the left. We walked passed the subs bench and continued walking until Charlie spotted our families and ran over to them. Lucy's mum Diane picked her up and helped her over the barrier before hugging her. As we reached the barrier Lucy leaned over and gave her parents a hug while I chatted to Lucy's brother Jorge and his wife Charis. Diane then leaned over to give me a hug and Charlie came back over to us after saying hi to everyone. I spotted my parents arriving and gave them a hug when they reached us. Lucy then tapped me and signalled that we had to go to warm up. Charlie leaned over the barrier to Lucy and wrapped her arms round her waist, and I caught her whispering "good luck mum" to her. I then looked down at Elleã in my arms and gave her a hug before kissing her on the top of her head and whispering "mama loves you baby girl" , just like I did at every match, I then handed her over to Lucy while I gave Charlie a hug and a kiss, and then raced over to the warm up group, fully focused on the game ahead of us. Lucy finally joined the group as we were doing some running drills and I quickly asked her "how was Ellie ?", she quickly responded with, " she was a bit upset but I promised I'd give her a big cuddle when the game was over and that Charlie would let her play on her iPad, and she seemed happier about that", I just smiled and continued warming up.
