Hope everyone's had a good weekend 😊
Lucy's POV:
We've been training well and hard over the last few days leading up to the final. Today we're going out to check Wembley, because tomorrow is the final. Right now I'm queueing for breakfast. I look around to see Keira coming into the dining hall, with Ellie holding her hand. Once they reach the back of the queue, Ellie spots me, and lets go of Keira's hand, running over to me, and almost crashing into my legs. "Hey, no one is allowed to jump the queue", Rach calls out, looking over at me. I roll my eyes and lift Ellie onto my hip and reply laughing, "get a grip Rach, she's not even 2 years old". Everyone who heard my comment laughed, as Rach faked a hurt expression on her face.
I turned my attention back to Ellie who was leaning down over the food. "What do you want for breakfast Ellie ?", I asked her, already knowing the answer. "Awberry!", Ellie squealed looking back at me, before looking back around for the strawberries. I nodded, "of course you do", I mumbled with a smile. I grabbed a bowl and headed towards the fruit section and began putting some strawberries into a bowl, adding some blueberries, bananas, and a new fruit of mango into the bowl. Ellie watched me curiously and than pointed to the strawberries "awberry", mumbled, pulling the puppy eyes on me. I sighed and put in a few more strawberries, which made her smile. "Oi, ya can't just skip the queue", I turned around at the sound of Millie's voice, and smiled when I saw Keira approaching me with a bagel with bacon and egg on it. "I'm gonna ignore those two", Keira said to me as she leaned around me to put the plate on the tray.
I laughed and we made our way over to the drinks area. I picked up a bottle of orange juice and asked Ellie "you want this ?", Ellie nodded her head vigorously and replied "yeah !". Once we had gathered everything for breakfast, Keira picked up the tray and carried it to a table that consisted of Leah, Charlie, G, Alex and Chloe. I grabbed the high chair with one hand and carried it over to the table placing it in between Keira and I. I lifted Ellie into it, and then placed her bowl of fruit in front of her. I sat down and began eating my breakfast.
I turned my head when I felt a soft tap to my arm. "Mumma, what this ?", Ellie asked me, holding up a piece of mango. I smiled and turned to face her "that's mango Ellie, it's very yummy", I explained to Ellie. She looked at me unsure about the fruit in her hand and than picked up another piece, holding it out for me. "Mumma have", Ellie said holding out the piece as far as she could. "I'll have some when you have some", I explained, taking the piece of mango from her hand. Ellie nodded uncertainly and then slowly put the piece of mango in her mouth, and biting into it. I watched as she ate it, and she looked up at me, waiting for me to eat my piece. I popped my piece in and swallowed it with a smile. Having watched me eat the entire piece, Ellie grinned and picked up another piece. I turned back to my breakfast, and continued to eat it.
Once breakfast was finished, Keira and Chloe gathered all the plates and bowls and brought them back to the kitchen, while the rest of us got up and left the room. I picked Ellie up and held her hand as we walked down the hallway towards the bus. "Mumma ?", I heard Ellie pipe up. I looked down at her and replied "yeah ?", "mama ?", Ellie asked, looking around for Keira. "Mama will be here soon", I explained, leading her outside. As I opened the door, I spotted Keira and Chloe following us, and I held the door open for them. I leaned down and said to Ellie "look who's behind you", Ellie turned around and grinned "mama", she mumbled. Chloe took the door from me and I walked out with Ellie straggling behind me as she watched Keira. Once both of them were outside, I nudged Ellie towards Keira and she instantly let go of my hand and ran over to Keira. I watched as Keira swung her up in the air, causing Ellie to squeal with laughter. Keira settled her on her hip, before catching up with me. I smiled as she approached me. "You excited ?", I asked her as we got onto the bus. Keira nodded and than chose a seat near the back of the bus, "little bit nervous, but overall excited", Keira replied. I nodded agreeing with her, but before I could say anything, Charlie came barrelling down the aisle, and stopped beside us, before shuffling onto my lap. "Well, that's one way to make an entrance", I exclaimed, looking at Charlie, who was panting heavily. "Millie and Rach were chasing me, ... all... around the ... hotel", Charlie said in between breaths. "No surprises there", Keira said smiling over at Charlie.
I watched as everyone got onto the bus, with Leah and G sitting across the aisle from us. The bus pulled away from the hotel and we were on our way to Wembley. I zoned back in to hear Charlie trying to explain to Ellie what tomorrow was. "It's your birthday Ellie, that means you get presents, and cake and everyone has to be extra nice to you". Ellie just giggled and waved her hands around. "Random idea here Charlie, but I don't think she really understands or cares", Georgia called out. Charlie just ignored Georgia and continued to try and explain to Ellie about her birthday.
I turned to Keira and said, "on the topic of her birthday, her presents arrived this morning, and I've hidden them". Keira smiled over at me and replied "thank you". I nodded and we both looked down at Ellie laughing at Charlie who was playing peek-a-boo with Ellie's blanket. "How has it been 2 years already ?", I muttered quietly. Keira sighed softly and replied quietly "I'm wondering the same thing myself, my baby's growing up too quickly". I looked at her and replied smiling "she'll always be our baby, whether she likes it or not, same with Charlie". Keira nodded listening to me, before checking around us, and then leaning forward and pressing her lips against mine.
"Oi, you two, can't you keep your hands to yourselves for one bloody bus trip", we jumped apart at the sound of Millie and Rachel's voices. Everyone laughed, as me and Keira turned a shade of pink, even Charlie was cackling. Ellie just looked around, not understanding what was so funny to everyone. "Mama ?", Ellie whined, desperate to know what was funny, turning to Keira for help. I looked at Ellie and replied "everyone is laughing because they're jealous that me and mama can kiss and they can't have a kiss", Ellie looked at me seemingly listening intently, but then I discovered she hadn't as I watched her turn around on Keira's lap and wrapp her arms tightly around Keira's neck and snuggled her head into the crook of Keira's neck. "Well she doesn't seem to care", Keira muttered to me.
I smiled and nodded before shifting in my seat and letting Keira rest her head against my shoulder. Everyone seemed to have calmed down and I looked to see Charlie had shifted on my lap and was turned into my chest. "You tired Charlie ?", I asked quietly. "I'm just resting my eyes", Charlie replied, causing myself and Keira to chuckle quietly. "Of course you are", I answered, holding tightly onto her, and placing my other hand on Keira's thigh, resting comfortable in the moment with my 3 favourite girls.
