DECLAN:
Today is my first match playing for Chelsea, I'm nervous and excited at the same time. It's against Liverpool I'm making my debut for the team. We're in the changing room now and it just feels like home. "You'll be great mate" I hear and realise Mason is next to me. "Just worried is all brother" he pats my thigh, "don't be mate, your doing something your really good at, and love. Plus we've got 2 special guest in the stands today. Ads is so happy and proud of you. And little Ted gets to watch his daddy and uncle mase play on the same team" I smile as Ben adds in "don't forget his adopted uncle as well" we laugh but then Mase says "That won't work as Hendo is playing for Liverpool, and he's in the group of adoptive uncles" were all laughing now at how many adoptive uncles Teddy has and how they play for all different teams.
ADDISON:
The game is underway and they're winning 2-1 right now. Teddy is asleep, I see Rebecca come into the footballers family stand. "Hey thought you'd be here" she says to me. I smile and give her a quick hug "yeah it's weird when they're all on different teams. But while you're here, I've got something to ask you, Will you be a bridesmaid at my wedding?" She smiles and hugs me tight. "Oh Addi, I'd love to. I'd be honoured. I better be getting back to Liverpool side but message me later and we'll meet to go dress shopping soon" we say our goodbyes and the second half commences.
The game ends 2-2, Teddy is awake now so we head down to see the boys. I end up seeing Rebecca again in the tunnel where we wait for the boys. I see Dec and Mase running towards me. I give Dec a big kiss and tell him how proud I am of him. I give Mase a if hug too. "So boys how did it feel?" I ask them and they both grin and hug each other, while Dec hugs Ted. "It was amazing to play alongside him in blue again Ads. I really feel like I'm home now" Dec says. Mason takes Ted and starts telling him about the game. I stand and hug Dec while we watch Mason. Soon I hear "hey mini Mount" I turn around saying "Hey Chilly" he gives me a hug "where's little dude" I point over to Mase who's walking around with him. "If you want cuddles you might have to argue with Uncle Masey" he laughs and heads over as I feel a tap on my shoulder. I turn around and Jordan is there hugging me. "Hey you. I bet you're super proud right now" I smile at him "I am, I always find it hard when you boys play against each other a so feel bad for supporting one team but I think today I was screaming for Chelsea as Dec was just so happy" he laughs "we play different teams on the pitch but as soon as that whistle blows we're all still friends and the game stays on the pitch, but I did notice how happy he was, to be honest I've never seen either of them that happy in a football match. So where's little Ted?" I laugh as I point over to where he is with Mason, Dec and Ben. "If you want cuddles you may have to fight with them lot." He laughs and heads over as Rebecca joins me "that little boy is so loved by us all." I nod and agree with her "if he can't play football, then I'll be shocked. They'll have him on the pitch probably before he can walk" we both laugh as Rebecca agrees with me.

We're at home now and it's been an amazing day. Teddy is settled in bed. We're downstairs watching avengers, I pause the movie. I turn to Mason and say "Mase can I ask you something?" He looks up "Anything Ads" I smile as I go to speak "You're an amazing big brother and always been there for me when no one else has. You're my best friend and I love you so much. So I was wondering will you walk me down the isle at my wedding please big bro?" I look at him to see his reaction and he's crying. He looks at me and nods "I'd be honoured Ads. I love you" I give him a big hug and then Dec goes "Mate I know it's asking extra work from you bro but would you be my best man. Like I'll get a couple of the other lads to be groomsmen to take the pressure off of you. But ever since we became friends I knew if I ever got married I wanted you next to me. I can't think of anyone else I'd rather have then you?" We both look at Mason who's now crying lots. He's nodding and hugging Dec. "Mate, I'd love to" we finish the film and head to bed.
