I was being gently forced out of my sleep by the aggressive vibration of my alarm against my bedside table and I also began feeling lynds stir against me and I quietly said good morning baby sleep alright and lynds said good morning gorgeous yeah i did sleep well and I said fancy a coffee and cuddle in bed with everyone and lynds said ooh sounds like a great way to start the day babe while you're making the drinks I'll get the little ones sorted and then that's them ready and I say okay baby and I cancel my alarm and stretch and then I head downstairs to make the coffee's and mum said I know you like your coffee mase but two and I said don't worry mum one is for lynds honest and mum said ahh was going to say you'll have more spring in you than a pogo stick and I laughed and said no we're starting the morning all cozy before we head to the training centre and get our injections done and mum said oh right do you want me to drive you in and pick you up and I said ugh mum your an angel yes please and mum said okay what time do you need to be there for and I said my injection is at 9:30 but lynds is helping timo who's up first at 9:05 and hates injections and flynn who's not long left the academy he has his injection at 9:20 and he's not overly keen on them either and Alex and Danny are having theirs done with us today because they are graduating from the academy just as I get back so I'm being a supportive captain and letting them know I'm there for them both and mum said I'm so blessed to have such a wonderful son well done mase and she kisses me on my cheek softly and ruffles my hair and I say aww thanks mum only doing what you have always taught us look after those who look up to you as there's a reason why they look up to you and I make the coffees and head back upstairs and I passed lynds her coffee and said mums going to drop us into the training centre so we don't have to drive and lynds says awah bless okay love and I sit next to her and lay my head gently against her and sigh softly and lynds says what are you thinking about gorgeous and I say oh just a few things thats all nothing worrying though baby I promise and she says okay and I kiss the top of her head and we drink our coffees and then lynds says right I'm popping in the shower and getting ready and I say okay gorgeous I'll take our mugs down and wash them up and as lynds heads into the shower I head down and wash our mugs and put them away and I play with bree whilst Lottie has a cuddle with Archie and gives him some more of his bottle and then lynds comes down and says showers ready babe and I say thanks angel and I jog upstairs and set the shower going and get my outfit ready to change into and then I brush my teeth and swill some mouthwash around and then get changed and head down stairs and mum said right there is three boxes of double chocolate brownies in that bag so you can take them in for the boys okay and I say aww thanks mum that's great and mum said right bree and Archie are all clean and comfortable and ready for the day so what about their mum and dad and I said yep I'm ready and lynds said yep me too and mum said right let's get you In the car and off to the training centre and she said Ryan don't Piss your sisters off and don't burn the house down and Ryan yells back nice to know you trust me mother and I said just need to grab our drinks a sec and I grabbed mine and lynds drink from the fridge and I head out to the car and I get in and mum say's ready and I say yep and she says to the training centre and we head off and I rest my head against the window and think of ways to plans to ask lynds to renew our vows and I slowly feel my eyelids fluttering shut and a little while later lynds is gently stroking my arm and saying hey gorgeous we're here and I say mmm okay I'm awake again and lynds says want another coffee babe and I say yeah please baby and i help mum with getting bree and Archie out and into their prams and I say thanks again mum I'll text you when we're all done okay and mum says alright love and then I head into the main building and find everybody and I put Archie in lamps office since he was sleeping and headed to the medical bay and met up with everyone and I said morning boss I've got Archie asleep in your office and Frank said morning mase that's absolutely fine I'll flick the cam notifications on in a second but first i want a cuddle with my gorgeous goddaughter and I passed bree over to
Frank instantly and lynds came in and said coffee for you baby and I'll leave yours on the desk since you have my eldest baby currently and lamps said ahh cheers lynds and frank said right just waiting for Alex Danny and flynn to arrive and then we can make a start on the injections and I quickly scan the room and say err lamps wheres timo and lamps said ahh for f sakes and I said I'll find him and frank says cheers mase and I start my search over at the back pitch and I check the dugout and I see he's not there so I head to the academy building and I fob in and put my finger on my lips to Morgan and type on my phone screen have you seen timo and Morgan shakes her head and says if I see him ill text you and I mouth thank you and I write my number into Morgan's contact list and I then I put Morgans number in to my contacts and head off and I check the bottom entrance to the pool and this Time I was successful in my search and I say hey bro as I quietly sit next to him and timo says shit hey mase and I say hey it's okay i promise and timo says mase what sort of example do I set for Freya and the new youngsters if I can't even be man enough and I can't even manage a fucking injection like it's fucking embarrassing and the fact that I need the captains wife to hold my hand to get through it and I say timo stop it that's enough your allowed to have phobias everyone does and your phobia certainly doesn't make you less of a dad okay and timo says okay and I say now your going to take a second and then me and you are going to walk to the main building and you will be fine promise and timo let's out a few shaky breaths and he says well let's do this and I say hey don't forget you've been promised bree cuddles and Timo said good point and we walked over to the main buildings and the medical bay and I say got timo boss and frank says brill well done timo and trixie says right timo over you come and Lynds walked over and took his hand and says timo just focus on

right sit down on the bench for a bit and if you feel funny let Frank me or Lynds know okay and timo says okay and I say right well wait for a bit and then we'll let you have your promised Bree cuddles and Timo smiles and Trixie said okay Kai your next bud and Kai said can i just go loo please I regret downing my water and Trixie said well that was clever but yeah sure and Kai says thank you

ermm trixie should we maybe move the sleeping one first and I look over and see Kai sleeping and I say that boy really can sleep anywhere and I quietly grab some ice in a cup from the dispenser and I dropped it down Kai's top and he jumped up and and screamed Heilige verdammte Scheiße, das ist verdammt eiskalt (holy fucking shit that's fucking freezing) and I burst into laughter and I said morning sleeping beauty and Kai said du verdammter Arsch ( you fucking prick ) and said your good to go bro and Kai said I'm genuinely going to get you one day you bastard and i said well you can try but it will take a lot and Kai said whatever it takes and fuck The stag do ugh you make revenge impossible and we all laughed and Trixie said you feeling alright Kai and Kai said no I feel like I've had bits of the fucking polar ice caps chucked down my shirt oh wait I have by that brunette bastard and Kai said but no I'm fine promise and trixie said okay well if anything changes let me know okay and Kai says promise and he walked off to grab a coffee and trixie said who have I got next and I said that would be me trix and trixie said ahh the bosses bestest right come on then mase and I head over and trixie said right it's an arm one okay and there's a slight burning sensation for 5 seconds afterwards okay mase and I say yep and she says right just need your signature to confirm that you agree to the injection and that you are aware of all possible side affects and what to do should you experience any and I sign and tick and trixie says lovely stuff thank you Mase right you happy with either arm and I nod and trixie rolls and tapes my sleeve up and says and 321 boop all done mase and she placed a plaster over the site and said right Alex over you come how are you with needles and he said not phased at all and Trixie said cool and she gets Alex to sign the form aswell and then she gives him his jab and says a another star pupil well done pop over next to mase and chill there and any issues just call out okay and Alex says will do and I said although it's not exactly a fun way of meeting the rest of the boys you feel a bit better now you've kinda hung out with us all and Alex said yeah it's just like being back at school as you know there's going to be a prick some point during the day and I laughed and said yeah you're gonna be absolutely fine aren't ya and Alex said mase will you still be allowed to mentor me and I said Alex it's all been sorted don't worry about it I'm still mentoring you okay and Alex said phew and trixie said okay Danny you're my last one of the day and Danny said best till last right and trixie said oooh a sass pot check it out and she said so you a brave lad then yeah and Danny said yeah needles don't bother me in the slightest and Trixie said cool I'll get you to sign the form too like everybody else has and then I'll jab you alright and Danny said done and Trixie said wonderful and she gave Danny his injection and said and that's a full group all up to date with injections for the moment lamps Alex and danny I'm waiting for your full medical notes from your doctor so if any other injections need updating then we can get them sorted before you join the first team that alright with you both and both boys nodded and Frank said brill cheers trixie and trixie said pleasure and any time you train em I maintain em and me Danny and Alex laugh and i stand up and put my jacket on and head off to grab the boxes of brownies that mum made and I say to soften the blow of injection day my mum has made her double chocolate chip brownies and timo says bree and brownies suddenly the days done a 360 from a shit day to a great day and we all laughed and kepa said mmm these are some delicious brownies and Kai said mmm yeah definitely agree there better than the last brownies I had by accident and frank said oh dear were they the special brownies by any chance Kai and Kai said yeah in my defence my mates sister baked proper brownies at the same time and the other type was for his flight phobia but hey I slept great and Timo said you already sleep great just wished you woke up great as your a right grumpy bastard and Kai said dickhead and i said see Alex and danny everyone's so friendly and supportive of each other and Alex said are those two always like that and I said sometimes they are worse especially when we all get back from national team duty so you have that to look forward to but I do mean the part where I said everyone is really supportive of each other and Flynn said yeah I was shit scared when I first joined the team but they are all great guys and I don't know what i was worried about and Frank said talking of flynn going to need to catch up with you soon and check in with you on how you are settling in with the team and Flynn says okay and I say don't worry it's nothing to worry about it's just a chance for you to say if there's anything worrying you or if you're feeling isolated but I'd hope that you feel as though you can talk to me about it even if we met up and grabbed some food or a drink and just hung out and Flynn said thanks mase I appreciate it and I said just doing my job and letting you know that if you need anything just text me or talk to me okay and flynn said thanks mase your a great friend and I say no worries and I say right I'm grabbing a hot chocolate anybody want anything

please babe and kepa said I'll come over and help you carry them all and I said aww cheers bro and we head over to the kitchen and i grab my hot chocolate and the cream and sprinkles from lamps office and kepa said oooo your brave taking the bosses hot chocolate stuff and I say haha it's the captains privileges and kepa said alright for some seesh dude and I said so looking forward to Saturday

I'm sure your brother is lucky too and I said nahh he's an idiot mum would have been better with leaving him at the hospital and kepa laughed and I got my mug and laid out everyone's cups and made all the drinks and kepa took one tray and I carried the others and we head back to the others and said right Danny there's a coffee for you and he says thank you mase and I said welcome and then I passed Alex his drink and he also said thank you and he took a sip of his coffee and said mmm great cuppa mase and I said glad you like it and I said yo Kai timo your coffees and the boys stopped play fighting and collected their drinks and I passed lamps his and he said ahh peace and quiet and I sipped my hot chocolate and Kai said right how come you get whipped cream and sauce and I said because i outrank you and I laughed Kai said but I'm vice captain so do I get perks too and I said thats up to the boss so if your brave enough then sure ask away and Kai said do you know what my coffees fine as it is and I said or you could just buy your own stuff and you know keep it in your locker and Kai said oh I didn't think of that cheers mase and I said welcome glad to help while giggling lightly trixie said everybody feeling good and we all yelled yeah we're good and trixie said brill well lamps I'm happy with everybody so you can do whatever you want and Frank said right mase you take Alex Danny and Flynn and just do light foot work on soft pitch and Kai you take timo billy joey and do flexibility work on front pitch I said come on then lads let's go and I lead the trio out to the pitch and say let's start with a little light jog and I say feeling warm boys and they say yes mason and I said okay so what's your worst foot and flynn said left Danny said right and Alex said both and I said right okay so your only going to use your weaker foot so Alex come here and Alex steps forward and I say right don't stand straight in front of the ball stand on a slight curve and then you need to try and address the ball with the side of your foot like I've shown you before remember and Alex said yeah I remember and he kicked the ball and it went in to the bottom corner and I said very good well done right Danny your up next and Danny sends his into the side netting and I said well taken okay flynn your turn and flynns shot hit the centre netting and I said oh love it flynn see you can hit the ball and you can score with it so what I want you to do is practice that okay and they said yeah I said right Danny kick the ball to me and pick a area of the goal and he said umm top To the side to the bottom and I said okay and I stop the ball and kick it in to the top of the goal in it hits the side netting eventually ending up in the corner and the boys stood and said oh my god that is just nuts holy smokes mason and I say thank you and say see that was my weaker foot and Danny said shut the front door was that your weakest foot and I said yep always have sloppy goals with that foot and Alex said oh please can we see one that you mean with your strongest foot and I say okay and flynn taps the ball towards me and I step back and then take my run and kick the ball and it hits every part of the net and the three boys clap and I bow and say now don't think that I'll expect that from you lads just try and score if you get the chance regardless of foot okay and they said yes mason and I hear the sharp triple blasts of Franks whistle and I said and that's a wrap boys in and freshen up and then head for home and they walked off talking and I carried on shooting for a bit until I hear someone clear their throat and I knew by the tone it was frank who came and took the ball from me and he said mason I've wrapped the session up and I said I was literally just going to do one on each foot and then I was coming in and Frank said yeah that's bullshit your one turns into 10 which then turns into 20 and I said no I promise I was just going to do one final kick on each and lamps said right do them in front of me then and I said yes thank you and I took the ball off him and kicked it into the side net and I jogged back to get it and then kicked it into the top corner of the net and I said mmmm liked those two and Frank said very nice oooh West Ham are in trouble ehh and I said now you know why I'm getting the kick work in and frank said ahh I see and I tap the ball over and say see ball officially sacrificed and Frank l said thank you now ass indoors shift it and I walked in and found lynds and she said hello you good session and I said yeah was a great session and she said good I'm glad you enjoyed it baby and I said when am I paying the west hammered a visit then lamps and frank says you're with them tomorrow morning mase then back here to de stress and I
