* Lucy's POV *

I have just dropped Isla-Wren off when my phone rings so I quickly pull up on a random street and answer it
( SSL means social services liaison)
SSL: Hello is this Lucy Bronze?
Lucy: Yes who is this?
SSL: This is Your social services liaison
Lucy: Oh, hi
SSL: I'm contacting you because of our earlier conversation on Monday
Lucy: Oh yes
I say fiddling with my fingers nervously
SSL: So I have had a look into said child and your information and I would like to have a meeting with you as soon as possible
Lucy: Yes of course, I'm free other than after 4:00 as I do football training at the minute
SSL: Ok, what about tomorrow morning at 9:30?
Lucy: That's perfect
SSL: Ok, I will see you then, bye
Lucy: Bye
I hang up then let out a breath I didn't realise I was holding and immediately call Kiera who picks up at the first ring
Kiera: Hey babe, you ok?
She says looking worried
Lucy: Yeah, I've just had a call back from my social services liaison
She nods
Lucy: And I've got a meeting with her tomorrow morning at half past nine
Kiera nods taking it all in
Lucy: This has become scarily real, what if she isn't mine, what if she is?
I start ranting
Kiera: Luce, whatever happens, I'm here for you and it will be ok yeah?
She reassured and I nod calming down a bit
Lucy: Yeah, it's just turned very scary all of a sudden
Kiera: I know and that's ok, that's normal for someone in your situation yeah?
I nod
Lucy: Yeah thank you kie
Kiera: No problem, now you need to get to bed so call me if you need me and let me know how the meeting goes
Lucy: I will, I love you
Kiera: I love you too babe
We hang up and I take a deep breath before driving back and going straight to bed.
