"So when you guys asked me where I saw myself at future milestones my initial response was that I hadn't thought about it since a few days before I went to Rehab I never really thought I would have a positive future, I used to think that I was going to land up either alone drinking myself into a hole or dead due to something stupid done under the influence, and the fact that I used to see that as my future scared and worried me. When my boyfriend broke up with me I honestly thought I didn't care and that I was better off without him, but in fact, our relationship had gotten to the point where I depended on him and alcohol for my happiness and by him telling me that he was leaving so I could take time on myself it was like the final push to sign myself in. Now it's been just over three and a half years since I joined these meetings after Diana Jones recommended that I joined a group of people who understood what I was going through. Today it makes the first date that I was sober and I've now been sober for the last four years, and to show for it I have a job that I enjoy working in my own diner, a great relationship with my older brother that we have both worked on but the thing that I am most proud of is the family I have created. I have a loving boyfriend and a two-year-old daughter, so in reality what more could I want?" Paisley finished her little speech and saw her brother and his old and new teammates standing alongside the Chelsea boys with Declan just being there next to them,

"I'm proud of you Paisley," Diana hugged the young blonde as she walked off the stage thing,

"Thank you, Diana, I hope you know that you're the reason I kept sane in rehab," she muttered the last part as the older women just smiled and picked up her goddaughter who almost ran past the two,

"I swear your child gets this speed from her father," Diana mumbled even though she had a soft spot for the young Mount child who was named after her,

"And she has the name and the attitude of her godmother," Paisley teased as she saw Mason walking over with her older brother and his somehow still best friend,

"You're lucky I love you both or I would have been offended," the older Diana pointed her finger at the young blonde which just resulted in the biggest laugh from her godchild,

"I'm proud of you my love," Mason smiled as he gave the younger girl a kiss to which both older boys pretended to gag,

"Oi just because you two are single doesn't mean you have to be mean to our relationship," Mason pointed at his two international teammates as the brunette one grabbed their daughter as Diana waved goodbye and wandered off,

"Who says I need a relationship when I get to babysit this little one," Ben rolled his eyes at the couple as he held the toddler. Babysitting the young child was his favourite thing to do when the couple wanted to go on dates ever since he made the move over to Chelsea all those years ago.

"She's my niece so hand her over," James held his arms out as Ben shook his head and held on to the little one, bickering over the child was now a common thing for the two boys yet they were still as thick as thieves,

"Yes but she is also our child so hand her over here," Paisley gave Ben the mother bear look at she had gotten soon after she fell pregnant with baby Diana and since he knew how she now gets when those instincts turn he knew all too well that it was the right move to hand the child over.
