The wedding reception is in full swing and Martin is having the time of his life, finally being able to show off his girlfriend. Anna hasn't left his side until Sophie whisked her away to have a little gossip with the other wags.
Right now they're all sitting at another table and Anna's giggling with something Jane said. She seems to get along well with the blonde Scot.
Martin looks away from his girlfriend when he feels something softly pulling at his trousers. When he casts his eyes down he sees little Eleanor smiling up at him. Swiftly Martin picks the little girl up in his arms and her tiny hand immediately starts grabbing at his hair to play with a strand that has escaped the gel containment again.
"Where's your dada, Elly?" Martin asks the girl, making her look him straight in the eyes.
"Dada," Eleanor giggles while waving her arms wildly around. "Dada."
Martin searches the crowd to find Ben Chilwell. When he finally finds him, he waves Ben over who immediately walks in Martin's direction.
"Thank god," Ben sighs. "I thought I lost her, ever since she started walking she's been a menace," he tries to take his daughter from the blonde Norwegian, but the little girl starts wailing loudly and making grabby hands at Martin. "Okay, seems like you're her new friend Martin,"
"I like being her friend," Martin grins while booping Eleanor's nose, making her giggle.
On the other side of the room Anna's observing the interaction between her boyfriend and the one-year old. Jane and Laura are talking her ears off, but she's only focused on the pair in the distance.
She's in total awe at the way Martin's acting with the little girl. Anna already knew Martin's good with kids, but seeing it with her own two eyes, is making her feel things she didn't feel before.
"Oh oh I know that look," Sophie grins. "Anna's got baby fever."
The blonde Norwegian girl looks away from the scene when she hears her name. "What? No!" she denies.
"If there's anyone with baby fever at this table, it's you Sof. You're obsessed with my daughter," Marion laughs. "I'm betting my money on it that you'll have a baby in the coming year."
"She's my goddaughter, of course I'm obsessed," Sophie says defensively. "But if we're betting money on it, I'm saying Anna and Martin will be the first one to have a baby."
"I say Jane and Benji, with the way they're practicing," Laura grins earning her a punch on the shoulder from Jane.
While the other girls are discussing the topic of babies, Anna glances back at her boyfriend. Martin sees her watching him and sends her a wink while taking Elly's hand to wave at her. Maybe Sophie might be a bit right after all.
