DECLAN:
We've been back at the hospital for about an hour and half, the boys all asked how Teddy took it and we explained he was devastated but he's going to play with Ronnie today. Jordan walks over and says "Dec mate, I know it's going it be hard but I think you need to make a post as people have seen us at the hospital and headlines are flying around making stories up" I nod as I've seen a few of them. I sit next to my girls bed and start typing.

Late last night my beautiful wife was in a serious car accident, the accident left her unconscious, with lots of medical help needed.

-4days later-
It's been 5 days since the accident, and the whole team has been amazing to me, Mason and the kids. It's Christmas tomorrow, Addison is still not awake, the doctors have reassured us, her body is just healing.
Mason and I have been taking turns in going home at night with the children. As tomorrow is Christmas, we need to make it as normal as possible for Teddy, lucky enough Evelyn doesn't understand. Becca and Phil have said we can take Teddy to their house after we've opened presents with him, so we can come to the hospital, Bex and Jordan have offered to have Evelyn for us, the girls have been amazing help and honestly I don't think I could've done it without them.
After a few days, we managed to send the boys home, they come in and visit but I send them regular updates. It's now 9pm, Masons at home with the little ones, I hear the door open, as I look around I see Jack then Chilly, I look at them confused "alright lads, what you doing here?" Jack says "it's Christmas Eve, we are 2 single lads with no children. Go home to your kids, wake up and see Teds excitement when he sees that Santa's been and give him the best Christmas morning possible, Ads here will be safe all night and Christmas morning with Chilly and I" I stand up and look at them both "are you being serious? It's Christmas Eve lads and tomorrow's Christmas Day, I can't ask that from you boys." Ben giggles and says "you're not asking, we're offering. Go to your boy, give him the best Christmas morning possible, we will call if anything happens, and we'll send regular updates. Your son needs you, also it's what Ads would want for the kids" I nod and hug them tight. "Thank you boys so much" they tell me to go.
I pull up at home and walk inside, Mason looks at me confused "Dec what's happened, why are you here?" I smile and explain about the boys turning up.
He decides to thank them as well in the group chat.

England Lads and Ads🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Mase: Ben and Jack, Dec just told
me what your doing. I'd just
like to thank you both so much,
by staying with Ads, you
will make Teddy's Christmas.
Thank you boys so much, you boys
being there with Ads and letting
us make the best of it for the
little ones, is so amazing and selfless.
Love you both❤️
Jack: Teddy deserves a semi-normal
Christmas, I can't give him
his mummy but having his daddy
and uncle there is something
I could sort out. X
Madders: Boys that is amazing.
I'll pop in tomorrow morning,
bring you guys breakfast x
Chilly: Don't have to thank us mate,
the little ones deserve this. X

Dec: Honestly, thank you all
so much. These last 5 days
have been hell but you lads
have been amazing and I don't
think I could've done this without
you all. Also both the Becca's, have
been amazing, with the kids, I can
never thank you enough. Hendo and
Phil, thank your Mrs for me please❤️

Hendo: We're here to help as
long as you all need it. We're a
family. Bring an overnight bag with
Evelyn tomorrow, we'll have her
overnight and you can both
celebrate Christmas night with Ads,❤️
Phil: Hendo took the words out of my
mouth, don't worry about thanking us,
we'd never see you go through this alone.
We'll have Teddy overnight too, Ronnie
will love it too xx
Jack: Phil, I'm gonna come to yours
tomorrow to see Teds if that's okay?
Phil:Of course it is mate.
Madders: How about when Ads
is better and at home we'll have
a second Christmas all together?

Dec: Mads, that's a brilliant
idea. Merry Christmas to
you all ❤️
