I Only Care About You (Michael Carrick) -COMPLETED-

Chapter 22.

Tonight was the second leg of the Champions League game against Real. This game was at Old Trafford. Of course, Ronaldo was going to be there and so would Jacey and I. I don’t know what to say or how to tell Cristiano about Jacey. I mean he’s going to go insane when he finds out. I’m just scared about everything.

I carried Jacey into the Old Trafford players’ lounge with Coleen next to me. She put Kai in the nursery but since Jacey was only a few weeks old, I decided it would be best to keep him in with me.

We went and sat in the corner by ourselves and had a couple of drinks whilst the game was on.

‘’how’s things with Michael then?’’ Col asked as I took a sip of my black coffee.

‘’Things are great thanks, especially now Jacey’s here, it’s brought us all closer together and he’s been such an amazing dad to Jace.’’ I smiled to her and she looked at Jacey who was sleeping silently in my arms.

‘’that’s great, he’s so cute isn’t he’’ she said, referring to Jacey.

‘’Yeah, he’s adorable’’ I stroked my little boy’s cheek and he unfortunately started to stir as the teams came into the changing rooms at half time. They were making a racket outside. Their changing rooms were opposite the lounge so basically the other side of the wall ish. I rolled my eyes and Jace started to cry. I gently rocked him in my arms, trying to calm him down. Coleen stood up and opened the door to the corridor.

‘’will you lot shut up? Jacey was asleep in there but he’s now awake because you loud mouths woke him up!’’ it all fell silent and then we all heard a chorus of:

‘’Sorry Coleen’’. The Col opened the door wider and a bunch of smirking face were staring at me. I glared at them and they all said ‘’Sorry Alice, sorry Jacey’’ in unison.

‘’thank you’’ Coleen said before closing the door and coming to sit back next to me. Jace was finally quieting down.

‘’no problem, bunch of big gobs’’ she rolled her eyes and I chuckled. Kai suddenly burst out of the nursery which was joined onto the lounge and came and jumped on his mum’s knee.

‘’shh!’’ she put a finger to her lips, ‘’baby Jacey is sleeping, you don’t want to wake him up do you?’’ Kai shook his head and giggled, copying his mum’s action by putting his finger to his lips.

‘’Is baby Jacey a big boy or little boy?’’ Kai asked sweetly

‘’he’s a very little boy, he is only two weeks old!’’ Col explained

‘’so am I a big boy?’’ Kai said proudly, sticking his chest out

‘’compared to Jacey you are’’ I replied

‘’Alice?’’ Kai started

‘’yes Kai?’’

‘’can I be Jacey’s big brother? I think he needs one and that should be me’’ he grinned and me and Col laughed

‘’if you want’’

‘’yay!’’ Kai jumped off his mum’s knee and came and sat next to me. Kai lifted Jacey’s arm and opened his tightly closed fists

‘’his hands are so small!’’ Kai’s mouth made an ‘0’ shape.

‘’your hands were that small once, everybody’s were’’ his eyes widened

‘’even Daddy’s?’’

‘’yes, even your daddy’s’’ I said

‘’but what about Vida’s hands? Because he’s HUGE!’’ he threw his arms up in the air, ‘’his hands could have never been that small’’

‘’they were, everybody was as small as Jacey once’’ he grinned.
