Olivia's pov

The quarter final against Colombia was today.

It was an hour and a half flight so we decided me and the girls would come watch.

Everyone was so happy when they found out Maisie and Lottie were coming with because they were now known as the teams 'lucky charms'.

The plane ride went smooth. Mais and Lottie were awake for most of it but they didn't cry a lot.

During the flight, Rach and Millie wanted to hold them and so, stupidly, we handed them over to them.

Long story short, we didn't see them again until the end of the flight.

It was nice to have some time without the girls, don't get me wrong. But, I missed them. It was only an hour and they were only a couple of rows back but I really did miss them.

————————

Less was starting with Hempo up front. Ella, Rach, Kiera, G and Luce were in midfield. Whilst Jess, Millie and alex were in defence.

The game starts and before long, England have their first chance.

Lucy crosses the ball into less, who headers the ball. The balls blocked but lands at Lauren. Lauren takes a shot and it's saved by the keeper who didn't catch it. The ball lands at less again. She takes a perfect shot.

However, sometime between less heading the ball and Hempo shooting, two Colombian players fall to the floor.

Lessi's final shot, although it looked like it was going in, hits one of the Colombian players right in the head.

The player gets up but can't continue.

Less makes another header five minutes later but it goes straight to the goalkeeper.

Colombia then take possession and have two shots.

Between the 27' and the 30', we had four chances. None of them are successful though.

In the 44', santos scored for Colombia. She shoots from the right side of the box, outside of it, and it lands perfectly in the top left corner.

Their lead didn't last for long though because in the final couple of second before half time, Lauren scores.

Lucy crossed it in for less but less takes a shot and it lands at the keeper, whose laying on the floor somehow, she then lets go of it resulting in it falling to less' feet.

Lessi kicks it and it goes through between the goalkeeper's arm and the ground but it's not powerful enough for it to go in.

Luckily lauren is there and kicks it in the goal.

The half time whistle blows as soon as kick off happens.

After just seconds of the second half commencing, Colombia manage to take the ball all the way down to the box. Thankfully, Jess is there to kick it away.

The next big chance we get is from a corner. Rach headers it but once again, it lands straight at the keeper.

In the 63', Georgia gets the ball just outside of the box.

"Less go to the right. Go to the right, baby." I talk to myself as I watch them play.

G passes to less, who's gone slightly to the right. She shoots and it ends up perfectly in the bottom left corner.

"Yes, baby!"

Me, Mario and Carol all celebrate by hugging each other.

"Mummy scored, babies." I tell Maisie and Lottie as I rub their tummies.

The match soon restarts and soon after, Mary makes an amazing save.

10 minutes later, less is subbed off for Chloe.

Once she gets to the bench and sits down, I blow her a kiss and she returns a smile.

After nine minutes of injury time, the final whistle finally blows.

Sweet Caroline starts playing throughout the stadium and everyone's families start celebrating.

I pick up Maisie and Lottie and make my way to the changing rooms.

————————

"There's the winning goalscorer." I hug less as she walks into the tunnel.

I decided to wait in the tunnel so I could say congratulations to all the girls.

"You played amazing today, baby." I tell her whilst we walk into the changing rooms together.

"Thank you, livvy. Every time I play well, it's when you and the girls are watching. It's such an amazing feeling knowing that you've got two little girls, our little girls, our daughters, watching you play. I can't wait for you to experience it." Less explains, energetically.

"I can't wait either, baby." I laugh slightly at her sudden burst of energy.

"They'll be at all our games watching us play together. At arsenal, for England, every game."

"I know, lessi. I can't wait." I press a kiss to her cheek as she takes her top off, leaving her in just her sports bra and shorts. "Stripping are we?"

"I'm just hot." Less justifies and picks up both girls, resting them in her arms.

"They watched your goal. Your mum and dad has just picked them up when you scored so they had the perfect view." I tell her

"They saw it?" Less asks, proudly.

"They sure did, baby. You did them proud, you did us all proud." I watch as he smile widens and I lean into kiss her. "Now you go shower, you smell of sweat."

"You're so nice, do you know that? I mean I get a nice kiss, and then I get told I smell disgusting. What a nice wife you are."

"Maisie and Lottie are gonna smell of sweat too now. Stop holding them." I complain

"Can I hold one of the girls?" Esme asks

"Of course, es." I take Maisie out of lessi's arms and hand her to Esme.

"Hi, Maisie moo." Esme cooes. The girls had their own nicknames now. Maisie was Maisie moo and Lottie was Lottie Lou. The team call them by their nicknames so often, that me and less had started doing it too.

"Can I hold Lottie?" Niamh asks and less hands her Lottie.

"How come Esme and Niamh are allowed to hold them and I can't? They're my baby girls and I can't even hold them." Less questions, speechless as to how I'm allowing Esme and Niamh to hold them and not her.

"Baby, you smell of sweat. Do you know how bad sweat smells? Do you want our girls to smell of sweat for the rest of the day?" I ask her and rest my hands on her waist.

"No." Less mutters

"That's the reason why. If you go shower now, you can hold them in ten minutes once you're done. Then you can have all the cuddles you want." I tell her

"Okay. I'll be quick." Less grabs all her stuff and runs to the showers.

"She loves you so much." I tell Maisie and Lottie who were still being held by Niamh and Esme.
