No one could stop them - Part Two ~ A.R

~ fourteen ~

After Italy, we went home for two days before flying out to France.

Me and less had been invited to do a sports event in Cannes and we were there for a week.

Similarly, we got home for two days before going to international camp in the Netherlands to play a behind closed doors game.

It had been hectic, especially with the girls, but it had been worth it.

We then got back from the Netherlands and had a few days break before heading to St George's park for another camp, this time the girls were playing Ireland and Sweden.

Me, Maisie and Lottie watched from the crowd for both games, cheering everyone on.

They won 2-1 against Ireland and 0-0 against Sweden.

However, we qualified for the euros next year.

I also ran for the first time since my ACL.

On camp, they had the special treadmill that increased the gravity.

Less cheered me on and even cried when I ran.

She hugged me and broke down crying, telling me how proud she is of me.

We also figured that since I was 12 weeks now, we were going to announce it to the team before the end of camp.

Me and less just had to think of a way to tell them.

We had thought of everything before finally, an idea we both loved came to mind.

We had Sarina in on it too.

We had been sat down on the last day of camp after the match against Sweden to go over the stats for the match.

Sarina had a PowerPoint all ready and in the middle of it, there was a picture of five football boots.

Two adults boots, each pair having 'mama' and 'mummy' written above them.

Two smaller boots, having 'big sister' written above them.

And finally, a pair of baby boots with 'baby number 3' written above it.

Underneath the boots, there was a pice of text with 'Baby Russo coming December 2024.'

Me and less sat down, Maisie and Lottie sat on our laps, almost asleep due to their nap time being soon.

Sarina started the presentation and as we got closer to the slide, less took my hand.

"Now, there's one more thing I'd like to talk about. It's not got anything to do with the match yesterday, but it is something that will affect us as a team." Sarina says

Everyone looks around confused before Sarina switches to the slide.

Everyone gasps, realisation sitting in before they all turn to me and less.

"Surprise?" I say as they all stand up to hug us.

G and Tooney scream in excitement before tackling me and less in a hug.

"Careful of her, Georgia." Less warns, seeing how hard Georgia had hugged me.

"Another kiddo, congrats kid." Lucy says as she hugs me

"Livvy, congratulations." Leah whispers, hugging me tightly. "God help the changing rooms with five russos now."

"Exactly what I was thinking, congrats Liv and less." Beth adds, squeezing me.

"You're going to be big sisters!" Tooney exclaims, tickling the girls as they laugh their little heads off.

Everyone congrats us before we leave the meeting room.

We finally make it back to london, but not just the four of us.

Instead, there were seven of us.

Because the girls' birthdays were in two days, Mary, G and Tooney were staying with us for the weekend to celebrate.
