Give Me Something To Dream About

4

There are boxes of toys in the corner of the room, a playpen and little sleeping mats that will be shipped city to city with us and set up in rooms just like this one. I never have to bring anything with me, it's like my own little moveable nursery room. It is really cool honestly, and I've been told I can ask for anything specific I think I might need, toys or activities and that sort of thing.

Mollie told me that she loved drawing, so that's what we've been doing for the last little while, she is only a toddler so the artwork is a lot of colourful lines on the pages, it's cute, she tries so hard and shows off every piece of work so proudly.

Sarah brought Finn by after about half an hour, "sorry I was just feeding him." She says as he sits happily on her hip looking over at me as I stood up and came over to them.

I nod and smile, "that's okay, we've just been drawing haven't we?" I say as Mollie toddles over and stands at my legs looking up at Sarah and Finn.

Sarah smiles, "it looks good, I love the pink and purple one." She tells Mollie.

Mollie grins so happily at the compliment from Sarah and goes right back to the table to keep drawing, "I making picture for Hawee." She grins happily which makes Sarah laugh.

"She loves Harry, everything will be for Harry." She tells me and laughs as she was Harry before looking back at me. That's so sweet, I laugh too and then glance back at Mollie who is colouring an entire sheet of paper blue.

Literally everyone loves Harry, even the toddlers I guess. He has such a good reputation, everyone is so fond of him.

Sarah hands Finn over to me, he keeps looking at her and I'm waiting on him screaming out for her or something, but it doesn't come, he comes to me calmly and stays on my hip, his little hand resting on my shoulder.

"He won't need fed for a few hours and hopefully won't need changed either, his dinner is in a little tub in his bag and a couple of bottles, there's a microwave in here to heat everything up, he's a great eater so you shouldn't have much trouble." She tells me, filling me in on everything else in his bag too.

"His ear defenders are in there too, incase you want to ever watch the show at the side. I'm sure Mollie has hers too." She adds.

No one has ever mentioned watching the show, I didn't realise that was an option.

"You can go out, there's a crew VIP area on the floor, as long as the kids have their ear defenders on and haven't fallen asleep you can take them out, they both adore the music." She says.

I nod, "Ah okay, that's really good to know." I tell her. Watching the concert would be pretty cool honestly, but maybe not today, I'd rather get myself settle in and know what I'm doing before I venture out to the crowded arena with the two little ones, I need to make sure we've bonded first, and that they trust me.

My first day/shift goes off without a hitch, I could definitely tell when the concert started, it was so loud in the building, I think if I do go out to watch the show I might need to borrow a pair of war defenders honestly.

The most stressful part of the whole day is the end, everyone has to be ready to leave quickly to beat the traffic, I have my own driver and security guard for the kids, so when Cliff comes to get me I have to be ready to practically run to the car with him. When I got into the car he introduced me to Jim, the driver that would be just for us, we'd do this every night of the tour, unless for some reason the kids or I weren't there.

We leave before everyone else and the band, they want to make sure the kids get back to the hotel earliest, Finn has been asleep for the past hour so I had to carry him, thankfully I put him in a baby sling when I knew it was close to leaving time and I took a very sleepy Mollie by the hand. We made it to the hotel safely and quickly, thank god. Finn is still fast asleep and Mollie has her head in my lap, I am feeling myself drift off honestly from time to time.

I pick a spot in the hotel lobby where I can see the side door where everyone will come in and wait for the parents.

Harry arrives first, his security practically burst through the door and then he jogs in and goes straight to the elevator, saying hello and other pleasantries to anyone he passes.

Sarah and Mitch arrive not long after him and Mitch carefully takes sleeping Finn out of the sling and holds him against his chest. I chat with Sarah quietly, looking up at her from the couch I'm on as Mollie has fallen asleep on my lap. I tell her everything was great, they both thank me and then head to the elevators.

Kelly picks Mollie up about ten minutes after, I fill her in, telling her everything went well before she takes Mollie off to bed.

It's not even 11pm but I am shattered, I'm probably still a bit jet lagged as well, so I call it a night and head to bed, getting a bottle of water from the shop in the lobby before I go to my room and fall straight to sleep as soon as I get into bed.
