Leah and her soldier

Home Time

"MAMA! MUMMY!" I am woke up to banging on the door "MAMA! MUMMY!" I get off the bed and my god do I not feel good. When I open the door Xander comes running in "mama I knocked" "good morning to you too bubs and I know you did" "how's the head Leah?" "Not good at all but thanks for asking Diane." She just laughs at me "mama why mummy not awake?" "Because she is very tired" "mummy waked up." Chris pulls the blanket over her head "no" "pwease mummy I hungwy" "what time is it?" "7.45" "your kidding right? Please tell me you're kidding" Chris flips the blanket off her "how can you be awake this early after having such a late night?" "I hungwy" "yep got it getting up."

Chris gets up and we get sorted to go downstairs "what time did you roll in this morning?" "Like 4am" "baby you still sound drunk" "I might still be." We both laugh as we are eating a lot of the girls come in "what you lot doing up so early?" "Could ask you the same Leah" "I have a 4 year old son who hates sleep" "Sarina called 1 final meeting" "oh right good job I saw yous then" "miwwie?" "Yeah big guy?" "We dance again?" "I promise I will dance with you later" "ok." We finish eating and then I go to the meeting whilst Chris packs everything up. Just before I get on the bus I get pulled to do the lioness live I am wayyyy to hungover for this.

~Chris' POV~
I go to our room to pack our bag whilst Leah does her interview which Xander is obviously watching. Millie peaks her head "ready for that dance big guy?" "Yeah, miwwie we pway outside?" "No yous can't" "but mummy" "no Xander there is too many camera's out there" "oh maybe I can help with that." Millie runs off and when she comes back she holds a mask up of sarina "what if he wears this?" "Pwease mummy" "fine you win please watch him Millie" "scouts honour nothing will happen" "yeah like you were anywhere near scouts, brownies or anything like that" "nope, come on big guy." They run off and my mum comes in "hey sweetheart" "hey mum" "why does my grandson have a mask on?" "Because they want to play outside but I said no because there is camera's so Millie found a loophole" "ahhh right, how was last night?" "Yeah good I came to bed at like half 12 I think god knows what time Leah came back after being dragged away again" "she is looking a little worse for wear" "tell me about it." My mum is looking a little sheepish right now "ok what's on your mind you want to say something but haven't yet" "that easy to read eh?" "Yep so come on out with it" "I just want to know how you're coping being around this much alcohol? You looked like you were struggling last night" "that wasn't being around alcohol mum that was being in a room with that many people" "so not the alcohol?" "No mum but thanks for checking up on me." Mum hugs me "anytime and I'm so proud of you."

I finish pack whilst talking to mum "where's dad?" "I'm right here kid you ready to go?" "I'm taking Xander to Trafalgar Square but are you's still ok to get everything sorted at mine?" "Of course and Leah still has no idea?" "Not a clue" "good well we will see yous in a couple of hours" "thanks dad." I go downstairs and put our bags in mum and dads taxi then go get Xander "right bubs we have to get on our bus and we will meet mama at Trafalgar Square" "ok mummy bye miwwie" "bye big guy I will see you soon." We get on the bus and David and Amanda were sat halfway down the bus. I decide to sit at the front with Xander so he can look out of the window plus David is doing his best to avoid me. "Mummy?" "Yeah baby?" "Mama come home now?" "Yeah she comes home today. Are you excited?" "Yeah mummy" "me too bubs."

We are just about to drive off when I feel a tap on my shoulder so I turn around, "hey Amanda" "how come yous sat down here?" "Just so Xander can look out of the front window plus I thought yous might be hungover" "is that all?" "Yeah just Xanders a bit hyper with Leah coming home today." We head off to the after party, when we arrive we go to the family area "AUNTY AWEX" "hey gorgeous are you excited for mama to come home?" "Yeah I miss mama" "and she has really missed you but I need get up on that stage so I can get your mama home to you" "ok wove you aunty awex" "love you too Xander." Alex gets up on stage and gets everything underway. I can't believe the turn out the girls have got everywhere is packed. When the girls come out on stage the noise is deafening with flags waving around. Everyone is dancing around and the interviews start and everything goes very smoothly with more dancing and Rachel daly signing at the end.
