Night Changes: Kai Havertz

Chapter 40

GAME DAY

"Amelia get up. Game day bitch." the voice of Lionesses captain Leah Williamson fills the brunette's peaceful room. "Ugh, Leah fuck off. It's too early." Amelia groans as Leah flings the curtains open and Amelia pulls the duvet over her face as the sunlight shines on her face. "No, we're not having this today. Up and at 'em. Lets go." Leah encourages, pulling the duvet off Amelia and throwing it on the floor.

"Hey! I was comfy." Amelia protests as the captain shakes her head. "I don't care. You were meant to be up half an hour ago. It's half 7, Amie. Get up and get ready. I'll be waiting outside." Leah says. Since arriving, the girls had to come up with another nickname for Amelia so they don't get her and Leah Williamson confused when they're together and Amie seemed like a good solution. "Ugh, can you leave so I can change and get ready?" Amelia asks as Leah leaves the room.

'Ugh, I hope Kai and Isabella are going to be watching me.' Amelia thinks to herself before she drags herself out of her bed and changes into her training gear. "Are you decent? Can I come in?" Leah calls through the door. "Yeah. Get your skinny ass in her, Williamson." the brunette calls back. "Hey! My ass is not skinny." Leah defends herself as Amelia laughs. "Is like." the striker smirks as Leah jumps on her and the pair tumble onto her bed.

Over the short space of time, Leah and Amelia had become good friends while Lauren built on her friendship with Amelia as well as the brunette brit forming new ones. "Has Kai called or anything this morning?" Leah asks as the pair sit up on her bed and turn to each other. "He sent me a photo of Isabella asleep in bed with him and we had a long conversation over text." Amelia smiles. "Match made in heaven." Leah laughs as does Amelia.

WEMBLEY

"Rosendale, you have a little visitor." Beth Mead says as she walks into the room with Isabella in her arms. "Hi my baby." Amelia smiles as she takes her daughter into her arms. "Why aren't you with daddy?" the brown-eyed girl asks as Isabella takes her finger into her small hand. "I think someone wanted to be mummy's mascot." Ella laughs as do a few of the other girls. "Yeah. I am nervous though. No joke. Zero game time and I'm not at full fitness." Amelia shrugs as she sits Isabella on the bench while quickly changing into her game day kit.

"You'll be fine Amie. Even if it's 45 minutes of more, it's a start in the right direction." Alessia Russo smiles, walking over to Amelia and placing her hands on her arms. "Yeah. You're right Less." Amelia softly smiles. "Right, girls 15 then show time. Mascots are ready except Lia's who's with her." Sarina smiles, looking at the Chelsea star holding her daughter in her arms.

The lionesses nod before a quick brief from Leah and lining up in the tunnel with the Brazilian Women's National Team lining up the other side. The referee's begin leading the women out of the tunnel. "Let's do this girls!" Leah calls down the tunnel to the 10 players following her out.

In the stands, Kai, Mason and a few other members of the Chelsea squad watched on as their girl began playing her first few minutes since the 2021-22 season.

Kai couldn't help but smile when he sees Amelia wearing a football shirt again. The girl's eyes immediately land on her teammates. The girl smiles widely before turning to her daughter and bouncing her on her hip. The Brazilian team shakes the Lionesses hands before jogging to their half of the pitch. Amelia walks over and hands Isabella to Ella. "Can you take her up to Kai, El?" the girl asks as her former Manchester United Womens teammate nods.
