Keira's POV:
Today was the semifinal game against Sweden. I woke up to Lucy's alarm going off. I rolled over and nudged her to turn it off. She groaned, but turned it off. I glanced down to see Ellie curled up in a little ball and had curled into my side. I glanced over my shoulder to see Charlie still fast asleep. Lucy turned over so her back was facing me, and slowly sat up. She sat at the edge of the bed for a few seconds before getting up. She went to her suitcase and pulled out her clothes. I watched the whole time from my spot in bed. Lucy turned around and came over to my side of the bed and sat at the edge. She leaned down and pressed her lips to mine, before pulling away too quick for my liking. I pouted, which caused Lucy to chuckle quietly, before she leaned in again and kissed me. After we both pulled away, we both looked down because Ellie had started moving slightly. We stayed still, a part of us both hoping she'd stay asleep, especially with her recent resistance to sleep. We both watched as she stopped moving and seemed to relax again.
Lucy went to stand up and that's when Ellie started whimpering in her sleep. We both immediately looked at each other, and Lucy leaned over me and gently patted Ellie's back in an attempt to wake her up from her nightmare she seemed to be having. Even with Lucy's gentle pats, Ellie wasn't waking up, so I decided to move and I sat up in the bed. Lucy sat on the bed, and I leaned down and picked Ellie up. Ellie instantly woke up with all the movement, and the tears immediately fell. I held her in my arms and rubbed my hand up and down her back. I looked over at Lucy and whispered "once the euros are over, I think we need to figure something out for these nightmares she's having", Lucy nodded and then quietly replied "I reckon it's got something to do with it being her first long tournament". I nodded agreeing with her. Lucy stood up, as soon as Ellie's cries slowly faded into small whimpers and sniffles. Lucy headed into the bathroom to get ready, while I got out of bed with Ellie in my arms. I pattered around the room, getting my clothes out and then sorting out Ellie's clothes. Once I had chosen what she was going to wear I lay her down on the bed and quickly getting her changed, but surprisingly this time Ellie didn't cry out at the loss of contact, which I was glad about because Charlie was still fast asleep in the bed beside us. Lucy came out of the bathroom and glanced over at Charlie still asleep. I walked over to her, and carefully passed Ellie to her so I could get changed. Before I went into the bathroom I quietly said to Lucy "she's gotten the ability to sleep through a fire alarm from you", Lucy gasped and playfully shoved me away. I chuckled and went into the bathroom to get ready.
When I came out, Ellie was clambering all over Charlie's bed, Charlie was sitting at the edge of her bed, still looking asleep, and Lucy was pretending to chase Ellie. I smiled at the sight, glad that Ellie was smiling again. I patted Charlie on the shoulder as I passed her and she sleepily smiled up at me. Charlie got off the bed and headed into the bathroom. I got my shoes on and fixed my hair, before nudging Lucy to do the same. I picked Ellie off the bed and she giggled. She began wriggling in my arms, so I let her down and she raced to the door, obviously eager to go for breakfast. Lucy sat down on the floor, and hid Ellie's shoes behind her. "Come here Ellie", Lucy grinned over at Ellie, who raced over to Lucy, barrelling into her arms. Lucy tickled her before she settled her on the floor in front of her and more or less trapped her there. Ellie didn't seem to realise what was about to happen as she giggled up at Lucy. Charlie came out of the bathroom and chuckled having spotted what Lucy was going to do. Me and Charlie both watched as Lucy held onto Ellie tightly and grabbed one of the shoes behind her. Once she spotted the shoe, Ellie started wriggling and looking around for a way out of her situation. Lucy managed to get Ellie's shoes on with Ellie squirming and wriggling in her arms. Once the shoes were on, Lucy stood up and held Ellie's hands, as we all left the room and made our way to breakfast.
