BELLA
Summers doing really well at nursery, it's amazing and it's giving me time to sort out at home but also spend time with Max. Today is the first match day of the premier league after international season, we're playing Arsenal at home, I love going to watch the boys play. Summer is really excited and is already dressed in her Chelsea top, we don't need to leave for another 2 hours.
We arrive with 30 minutes until kick off and get to the stands, Lauren is already there waiting for us. While we wait for them to come out, Summer eats the snacks she's brought with her and Max has fell asleep. Soon they all come out and give us a wave. The game ends a 2-2 draw for the teams and we head down to the tunnel to see the boys. While waiting for Ben and the other 2 to come in I see Ben White, I grin and wave. "told you I'd come and watch you soon. Good game." He hugs me and thanks me, we soon get interrupted when I see Bukayo. "Hey B" I say hugging him. We all stand chatting for a bit then I hear "talking with the other team, Mrs Chilwell." Mase says laughing. I turn around and hug him tight "just saying hello to these lovely boys. Where's my husband and Dec?" I say and he tells me they're in an interview. We stand and chat for a while but Ben and Bukayo say their goodbyes as they need to head into the changing rooms. Summers in Masons arms giving him a cuddle, I see Ben and Dec walking over. Ben comes and puts his arms around me and kisses me "hey beautiful." I smile and say "hey baby, good game." Max starts to wake up and Ben picks him up to cuddle him.
Soon both children are back with me. Lauren and I wait at reception for the boys to come out once they're changed.
Once we're all home, we decide to order in some Nandos, we got the children some food on the way home as they were getting tired. While waiting for the food to arrive, we're all laughing and chatting together. All I can do is sit back and watch the scene, this is my family and I couldn't be happier. I just smile and watch on while laying on Bens chest.
-1 week later-
Today hasn't been a good day, it's now midday and I am so exhausted, both children are unwell, they're being sick, got temperatures and just lethargic. All the boys are away with Chelsea. They've got a champions league match against Barcelona, if they win this leg then they're through to the semi finals. They all left yesterday and are due back tomorrow, I stayed home and told them I'd watch the match on tv. I haven't told Ben about the children being unwell as I don't want him to worry too much and it affect the match. The children started to get unwell yesterday evening, we had a night with barely any sleep.
By 3pm, both children are asleep finally, I've put the sick covered stuff in the washing machine and made myself a coffee, however, while I drink my coffee I come over feeling sick and realise I've got exactly the same as the children. I end up getting some water and snuggling down on the sofa next to Summer and making sure Max's cot is the other side of me.
I don't get much rest before the children are awake and unsettled again, I feel even worse but still got to prioritise them even though I'd rather just snuggle up and cry from feeling so ill and repeatedly being sick. Lauren called about watching the match together but I said about us all being unwell and I didn't want her to catch it, she offered to come over and help but I don't want her getting ill as well. I have asked her to promise not to tell Dec or the others when she speaks to him, and reluctantly she agreed.
After the match has finished it's now 10:45pm here, I've text Ben to congratulate them on winning but said I'll talk to him tomorrow as Max was too unsettled for me to talk on the phone. He said that was okay and said goodnight to us all, I know I could've told him as the match was finished but I didn't want to dampen the spirits after they've just got through to the semi-finals of the champions league, they deserve to celebrate.
-The next day-
BEN
We're all still buzzing from our win, it's 3:30pm and we've just got off the plane, the girls and children are meeting us at the airport. The families come into sight and I see Lauren, but there's no Bella or the children, I know Jude's with Lauren's parents but the plan was for them to be here together. "Boys, Bella and the kids aren't here" I say to Mase and Dec they look and soon see, we're all worried now. When we get down to Lauren, she hugs and kisses Dec, saying hello and congratulations to us all. Then I say "Loz, where's Bella?" I ask and she looks to the floor, then says "the only reason I didn't tell any of you yesterday is because she made me promise not to, her and the children have been unwell, the little ones started to get unwell the evening after you all left, during the day yesterday Bella got ill too. She's still unwell today but apparently the children are on the up as they've finally stopped being sick but she hasn't, I spoke to her to keep trying to get her to let me come over to help her but she refused saying she didn't want me to get ill. I spoke to her this morning and she sounded so exhausted and ill. Sorry boys." We all just look shocked, I take a breath and it sinks in what she's said, I am so worried about them all now but part of me is angry at Bella for not letting me know my children were ill.
Next thing I know is we're in the car on the way to my house, I get taken out of my thoughts by Mason. "Where's your key lad?" I hand him my door key and he then looks and says "you okay Chilly?" I shrug as right now I don't know how to feel. We get out the car and head inside.
