One Step Closer to Perfect

matchday with Piper

'I'll spend forever wondering if you knew, I was enchanted to meet you.'

Vivianne can't help but smile as she stands in the kitchen doorway, her phone pointed directly at Beth who is dancing with Piper in her arms while singing at the top of her voice. Kitchen dance parties have become part of their morning routine since Piper was around 6 months old, especially if Beth is the first one awake with her. Turning the recording off, Vivianne leans against the doorframe and just takes in the sight in front of her. There's a huge part of her that isn't sure she'll ever get used to the fact that this is hers; her very own little family.

'Oh there's mummy... Coming to join our morming dance party?' Beth asks as she spins around and catches a glimpse of Vivianne for the first time that morning.

'Mm... Morning, liefje.' Vivianne says making her way over and kissing the top of Beth's head.

'Mum mum!' Piper giggles as she reaches out for Vivianne.

'There's my Piper June... Good morning, sweetheart. Did you sleep good?' Vivianne asks smiling as Piper buries her face in the crook of her neck.

'We made banana pancakes for breakfast. We kept some for you and there's some nutella there as well if you want that.' Beth says tucking herself under Vivianne's arm and into her side.

'Thank you, liefje... How are you feeling this morning?' Vivianne asks.

'I'm excited. Last game before winter break, it's gonna be a good one.' Beth replies and Vivianne nods her head.

'It is. What time is Jordan coming over to pick her up?' Vivianne asks.

'Around half 9-ish. I figured that gives us plenty of time to get ready and get to the stadium.' Beth replies.

'Are you going to see Auntie Jordy today? She's gonna absolutely spoil you rotten, isn't she?' Beth says smiling as she moves some hair out of Piper's face.

'She always gets spoiled... So many wonderful aunties who adore her.' Vivianne replies and Beth nods her head.

'We need to pick up nappies and more wipes today... Maybe we can stop by Boots after the game?' Beth says and Vivianne nods her head.

'Course we can... That's the good thing about an early game, results in an early finish where we can get stuff done and spent time with the munchkin.' Vivianne replies smiling as Piper giggles and buries her head in the crook of her neck.

'There's my Beffy.' Leah says smiling as she wraps her arms around the blonde.

'How you doing Le?' Beth asks.

'I'm good... How are you? How's my little PJ doing?' Leah asks.

'I'm good and so is she... Probably running Jordy ragged by now, she has had her for an hour already.' Beth replies causing Leah to laugh.

'Jordy will be loving it... She was always good with kids.' Leah says and Beth nods her head.

'Speaking of kids actually... Do you think you could give me the details of the clinic you used?' Leah asks quietly, ensuring no one overheard the last sentence.

'Of course I could.' Beth replies grinning at the blonde in front of her.

'Don't look at me like that. We don't have any plans yet but we just- Well it's something we've spoke about and I'll rather have the details ready for when we're ready.' Leah explains and Beth nods her head.

'Makes sense. I don't know what Viv and I are going to do about number 2.' Beth says shaking her head as they make their way over to sit down in their cubbies.
