Footballer Daughter/Remi Foden

CHAPTER 1

"Princess" I wake up to someone lightly shaking me "Princess, it's time to wake up" I squint my eyes and see Dad sitting on the end of my bed "I'm up" I groan rubbing my eyes

I want to go full out professionally for football, I wake up at 4:30 every morning and start training at 5:30. I go straight from training to school school starts at 8. I leave school at 2pm when school finishes at 3 and I start training at 3pm until 7pm. It a busy day but I enjoy it.

"we're leaving in about half an hour for training, have you got your bags sorted?" he asks starting to walk out the door "yeah, everything is sorted" I say sitting up, I look to dad to see him snickering "what?" I smile "always in a football top" he laughs and walk out and I get up to get ready

I take out my training kit from my drawer along with Callum's football hoodie and I quickly change into my kit.

Callum and I have been friends for 4 years now. Everyone claim's we are a couple but we're not, I will admit we do act like we are. He comes over quite a lot and when he does he just plays Fifa with Dad

I head into my bathroom and brush out my hair and wash my face. I put my socks on and head downstairs to see dad pouring half a smoothy into my Starbucks cup and half into his "bags packed?" he asks sliding my cup towards me "just need to pack my boots and water, mum washed them yesterday but I also need to pack my change for school" I sip my smoothie and walk back upstairs and pick out an outfit for school

Our school doesn't have a uniform, they believe in 'individuality' so we get to wear whatever we want that's appropriate. Today I'm just packing some leggings, socks and my airforce. I quickly take one of my JD drawstring bags and put them in neatly and pack that bag in my training bag "now do I have everything for training and school" I say to my self

"change of socks, change of kit, shin guards, need to get water and boots" I stand up and head back downstairs still drinking my drink "where's my boots?" I asks dad as he puts his socks on "in the front cupboard" he says pointing at the small cupboard near the front door. I walk to the cupboard and see my boots sitting at the front I quickly take them out then walk to the fridge and get 2 bottles of water and a bottle of lucozade sport "nearly ready?" dad asks

"just have to pack these and brush my teeth" once again I run upstairs and pack my boots and drinks. Perfect timing, I finish my smoothie and I head to my bathroom and brush my teeth, I slide on my sliders and grab my school bag and training bag, I take them downstairs and dad takes them off of me and puts them in the boot of the car "wait dad I forgot my phone, I'll be two minutes" I quickly run inside and to my room and grab my phone and on the way back I hear someone in the bathroom and I quickly run inside

I walk into the bathroom to see Rebecca throwing up, I instantly run up to her holding her hair back "Mum you good? This is the fifth morning this has happened" she looks up at me with tears in her eyes, I don't know if it's from throwing up or if she's actually crying "Remi, I think I'm pregnant" my eyes widen and a smile comes to my face "well that's great isn't it?" I ask crouching next to her

"I don't know how I will do it Princess, we've got Ronnie and your Dads working and-" she starts to panic a little before I give her a tight hug and wiping her mouth with toilet paper "Mum, relax. You do not need to worry about if Dad is at training or if he has a match, he will always choose you. You are family. Dad loves family more than anything. You've been a great mum to Ronnie and you've been a great mum to me. I'll help you as much as I can and I'll be here for you, everyone will" Rebecca just smiles at me, we are and always have been extremely close and she is my mum.

"Princess , you ok up there? We need to get leaving" Dad whisper shouts from the bottom of the stairs quite enough for not to wake up Ronnie but loud enough for me to hear "please don't tell your dad yet until I definitely know" she whispers "yeah, dad just coming" I 'shout' back down to him "I wont say anything, keep me updated though?" "yeah of course" mum smiles "I'm going to go, I love you" I smile standing up "I love you too" I head back down stairs and out the door into the car "what took you so long?" dad asks starting up the car "went to the bathroom"
