Who Knew Rugby Could Be So Complicated?

Surprise

One week til our holiday, the final countdown has began. Of course, the six nations has kicked off for both me and Owen. So a lot more time was spent in the stadium, luckily both in twickenham. Owen's playing tomorrow and I'm playing Sunday. The girls have been coming down with the boys and been staying at our place quite a bit.

Owen looked sheepish all day "what you up to?" I eyed him up "nothing" he quickly scurried to the garden. I didnt believe him one, I stood at the back door "babe, I really fancy a Starbucks, do you want one?" I heard a faint "no" "Ollie you want to come?" He shook his head and ran after his Dad.

Of course, the traffic was awful, friday afternoon for you. Luckily, my car playlist was popping. The phone rang "Amelia, can you get me a milkshake?" I rolled my eyes "of course Ollie, Owen do you want anything?" "Can you nip to Morrisons and grab some snacks and some flavoured water, possibly some lucozade sport? I think that's it" "yeah no worries I love-" "ok bye" and the phone hung up. What the frick is going on?

My 10 minute trip to Starbucks turned into a 2 hour trip to Starbucks and Morrisons. I got back to the house and there was a car I did not recognise on my driveway, who has the cheek to park in my spot? I parked in front of it and walked into the house. Everything was pitch black. "Owen Oliver" "this isnt funny!" I opened the door to the living room "SURPRISE!" The lights came on and I found my favourite people stood round a christmas tree.

I was completely speechless "this is why you've been suspicious all day" I eyed up Owen and he gave me the cheekiest grin. The girls hugged me. "Its an early Christmas, since your abandoning us!" Charly pouted. Before I could say anything Toby let out a huge cry "I've got him" Owen grabbed him out of the carseat and cuddled him. Of course Oliver was fixed at Toby's side.

"We brought presents!" Abbi ran to the huge pile "let me go grab yours!" "Already there babe" Owen pointed to the other pile next to the television of course his eyes didnt move off Toby. "You have to give him one" Ellis whispered, I laughed.

We spent the rest of the evening opening presents. The girls got me a canvas sized picture of me, Owen and Oliver from the wedding. Which of course Owen had to get up immediately! Oliver hugged everyone "thank you Uncle Ben, Auntie Abbi, Uncle El and Auntie Charly" then he went straight over to Toby and gave him a big kiss "thank you Toby, your my best friend!" Of course everyone cooed.

The boys went down to the man cave "no drinking Farrell!" He saluted me "and you two" they scurried away like naughty boys. "You have to tell us everything!" Charly started "from Harry's mum to the Mummy thing!" I took a deep breathe! "Harry's mum is done with" I explained the whole situation "then the mummy thing?" Abbi nudged me "I had to explain I'm like a second mummy but he doesnt call me mummy, sometimes he does by accident" I shook my head

"holly?" Abbi tilted her head "nope nothing not even a text. How can she not want that perfect little boy?" I held my head in my hands. "Owen has text her and Ben multiple times, but nothing. Even on the pitch, Ben will say hes not my child so why would I care? Theyve got into many fights about it" "dont worry, you've got the amazing little boy that's all that matters" Charly and Abbi hugged me.

"Let me just go and get my baby back. Ben takes him everywhere" Abbi ran out the room. "Amelia, seriously" I suddenly looked worried. "When are you going to give them boys a baby?" A wave of relief came over me "well, I havent told Owen but" i paused as Abbi came back in the room. "My implant ran out 2 weeks ago and I didnt renew it, the doctors just took it out" the girls screamed causing Toby to cry "Owen doesnt know" the girls screamed even louder "No way!" "We want Farrell babies!!!!"

The boys came running in "what's wrong?" "We heard screaming" the three of them looked worried as the girls were just piled on me "nothing" we laughed as I gave them the look. "Look you made Toby cry!" Oliver looked mad at us as he rushed to Toby's side.

"He would be so good with a baby" Charly whispered I nodded and peeped through the gaps I could. The girls slowly peeled themselves off me "ollie want to feed Toby before you go to bed?" Ben asked. Oliver jumped up and down. Owen grabbed Oliver and sat him on his lap, then Ben placed Toby on Oliver as Owen supported them.

"See?" Abbi nudged me as you could see the admiration in both of their eyes. "I know, hopefully soon" I winked at Abbi, luckily no one was paying attention. I quickly changed the subject "how do you think you'll get on tomorrow?" "Well if its anything like last weeks game, they dont stand a chance" Charly laughed getting filthy looks off the three boys.

"Well little Miss perfect kicker over there missed one on her last game" Owen narrowed his eyes at me "wow! The wind was bad, you said you wouldnt of scored it either!" He laughed but I wasnt laughing! Everyone else remained silent.

The door bell rang "saved by the bell Farrell" I scowled at him. I heard hushed whispering "low blow" and he replied "oh well" laughing it off. That had seriously got to me and I was ready to show him!

I opened the door and my jaw dropped "surprise"
