-2 months later-
The boys all have a break in league games as they've got England Camp, luckily it's only 3 weeks, meaning they're all back but the 3rd December. Summer is now 2 and half, she has a lot more understanding about Jack having to travel away for football, the 3 games are being held at Wembley, this means they can go and watch. Watching them all play for England is always better and Summer loves seeing Daddy and all her uncles play together. This time round, Summer is at nursery so it means she'll be occupied and not notice the time as much. Max is 6 months old, he's a mummy's boy where as Summer is a daddy's girl.
-The next day-
Summer is due at nursery today, she's already been in co-operative this morning, I expected it as she always plays up when Jack leaves, I've already called Becca and let her know I'm running late but so is she as Ronnie's in a similar mood.
I finally get to nursery, Becca is waiting for me. By the time we are walking into nursery, both children are crying, luckily Max is calm in his pushchair.
The nursery worker opens the door "oh dear what's happened here?" She says looking at Summer and Ronnie. I smile "Both dads left for England camp yesterday, they're away for 3 weeks." She nods understanding and then looks at the 2 little ones and says "how about we make your daddy's a good luck card. And when you go to the matches you can give them to him" both of them nod and walk in holding hands.
As they leave, Sophie looks at Becca and says "coffee at mine?" She nods "sounds great."

Sophie POV:
Becca ends up staying at mine the whole day, until we have to leave to pick the little ones up. Just before we leave my phone rings and it's Karen.

S-Hiya Karen is everything okay?
K-Yeah it's all good love. Have you sorted yours and Summers dinner yet?
S-Not yet why?
K-Oh good, come to mine. Have dinner with Kevin and I, we both know Summer struggles the first couple of days with Jack being away.
S-That's lovely thank you, when do you want us there?
K-You're welcome any time darling, why don't you come straight from picking Summer up.
S-Okay, I'll be to you in about 1hr and 15minutes. See you soon
K-See you soon darling.

As I hang up Becca says "is everything okay Soph?" I nod and smile "yeah that was Karen, her and Kevin invited us for dinner as they know Summer struggles the first couple of days when Jack leaves" she smiles "That's lovely, I'm sure it'll cheer Summer up."

As we arrive at the nursery, they let us in and I see Summer and Ronnie playing together. The teacher from this morning comes over, "they've had moments in today, Summers mum could I have a word please?" She says and I smile "it's okay to speak in front of Ronnie's mum." She smiles "we've had a couple of incidents today, Summer had to be taken away from her activities a couple of times as she's lashed out" I'm in shock "what do you mean lashed out?" I ask and she smiles sympathetically "she's slapped, punched and bit someone" my eyes widen "I am so so sorry" she smiles and says "the punch and bite was to a teacher" I'm shocked snd speechless, the teacher adds "We think it may be to do with the change up at home." I nod "I'll talk to her, we're going to her grandparents tonight so maybe they can talk to her too. I am so sorry"
Once we're in the car, as I'm driving to Karen's I say "Summer what happened at nursery today?" She shrugs, so I add "did you hurt your friend and a teacher" she nods, I carry on hoping she'll give me a proper answer soon. "Why did you do that?" She shrugs "is it because daddy's gone for work?" She shrugs again. "Summer, mummy needs you to talk to me so I can understand." As I say that, Max starts crying, she tells him to shut up, and I see her raise her hand to hit him. "Don't you even think about it Summer. Your being naughty won't make daddy happy when I call him later" she looks and says "daddy not here!" I park up at Karen's house and as I get Summer out she kicks off and throws her hands about and ends up hitting my nose and it starts bleeding. I lose my cool and shout "SUMMER GREALISH THIS IS NOT GOOD BEHAVIOUR YOU'RE GOING ON TIME OUT INSIDE NANNY AND GRANDADS HOUSE!" I get Max and head to the door. As Karen opens it she looks shocked at the blood coming out my nose, Summer and Max crying. We walk in and I point to the stairs and say "Sit there now and don't even think about moving" She instantly sits knowing she's done wrong as mummy never shouts. Kevin comes into sight as Karen asks "what's happened love?" I point to my nose "summer done this, after slapping a friend at nursery, punching and biting a teacher and telling her little brother to shut up and I caught her going to hit him." They look shocked, Kevin says "I'll talk to her love, go with Karen and get cleaned up"
A couple of hours later, Jack starts calling me on FaceTime, I'm back at home now and both children are asleep.

S-Hey J, how's England camp?
J- it's all good baby but why the fuck It's your face bruised?
S- long story baby, I don't want you to worry.
J-I'm your husband and I'm going to worry.
S-Sums did it.
J-Why what caused that?
S-She'd been naughty and violent at nursery today too, she told Max to shut up and tried to hit him in the car. She hit me as we got out of the car at your parents as we went there for dinner.
J-do we know why she done all of this?
S-Your dad spoke to her and she said she didn't mean to, she misses you. She thought you'd come home if she was naughty.
J-Fuck, I feel bad. Do you need me to come home?
S- No stay, she understands now that she's going to see you in a few days at the match. And daddy wants to hear she's been good not bad. She apologised and I've brought chocolates for the teacher she hurt too.
J-Baby, you're an amazing mum and the best wife, I'm the luckiest guy ever. But if you feel like your struggling or get upset talk to me or mum or one of the girls, I don't want you hurting alone.
S-I'm good baby, I've got this. You need to focus and win. I miss you.
J-I miss you too. I love you more than words can say.
S-I love you too.
