Rhianne Pov
Over the next couple of days I got frequent updates from all the boys and Sid. This made me miss them all even more but it was nice to know what they were up to and that they were having a good time.
I'd given in to Lilly and Casper's request and had pulled them out of school so that we could go to Birmingham for the shows there. I hadn't told Connor that we were coming A. It was going to be a surprise and B. I knew how much he was missing us, James and Brad had told me a number of time.
"Guys you ready?" I shouted
"Yeah." they said coming into the kitchen
"Good. Lilly will you get Grace for me." I said
"Yeah." She said we were going by train and Jodie was coming with us more to help out with the children on the train more than anything.
"Mum where's my wizboard?" Lilly asked
"Dad took it with him so that we didn't." I said
"Okay." Lilly said
"Did dad take mine as well mum." Casper said
"Yes babe." I said
"Cool." he said
when we were all ready we headed for Taunton train station that was the line we need for Birmingham.
"Coffee Rhianne?" Jodie said when we got to the train station.
"Yes please hun." I said
"okay kids want anything?" Jodie said
"No thanks." Casper said
"Apple juice please." Lilly said
"Apple please." Jessie said
"Right." Jodie said
Jodie went off to get drinks and me and the children sat and watched all the train hurtling through the station.
Jodie came back 10 minutes later with 2 coffee's 4 apple juices and a selection of biscuits and snacks for the journey.
"Thanks hun." I said taking my coffee Grace was on my back in the sling asleep.
"The next train to arrived at platform 3 is the 9:05 train to Birmingham."
"That's us guys." I said
We gathered our things up and got ready to get on the train.
the train arrived, we got on and went to find our seats.
"Lilly, Casper your there and were here." I said to Jodie. Me, Jodie, Jessie and Grace were sat at a table and Lilly and Casper were sat in the seats behind us.
"Okay mum." They said
"I'll sit with Jessie." Jodie said
"Okay hun." I said
Grace had just woken up and really didn't want to be put down, she didn't care who was holding her she just wanted to he held. I gave her to Jodie while I sorted Lilly and Casper out with something to do.
"You got the Ipads?" I said
"Yeah I have them mum." Lilly said we had brought Lilly and Casper IPad's for Christmas the year before. Lilly pulled her ipad with a red cover and Casper's Ipad with a green cover out of her bag they were only Ipad mini's
"well done Lilly." I said
"Its okay." She said handing Casper his ipad and his headphones.
"What did you download?" I asked
"Cloudly with a chance of meat balls." Lilly said
"Casper?" I said
"Minions." He said
"Okay." I said
I left them to it. I had brought colouring books and reading books, board games and puzzles for Jessie to do. I knew he would sit for ages playing the board games and doing the puzzles he was a really bright little boy.
I had also brought some toys for Grace to play with some baby books for her to look at. Which she just banged the books on the table and made a load of noise.
Grace has just turned 1 and Jessie and Jacob have turned 4 and will be starting school in September which is really exciting.
The trip went well. Grace did fall back to sleep just as we were about to pull into Birmingham new street.
None of the boys knew we were coming. Which just made it a lot better.
We arrived at the arena and went to hide in the arena. The boys were at a radio station doing an interview.
Me, Jodie and the children were sat in the arena waiting for the boys
"That was pointless." James said
"Yeah it was bit." Con said
"Never mind done now." Brad said
"Can I go to bed?" Sid said smiling
"Yes please." Brad said wrapping his arms round Sid's waist.
"What's that?" James said he was looking towards us
"Have they started to let fans in?" Con said Brad looked at his watch
"I don't think so. It's to early." Brad said looking at his watch
"Who is that then?" James said
"Boo!" Casper and Lilly shouted they had be hiding in the one of the speaker boxes that were on the stage
"Guys." Connor said
"Dad." Lilly and Casper shouted
"Dad." Jessie shouted. Me, Jodie, Jessie and Grace were sat right at the back of the arena. We all walked down to the stage. rather Jessie ran down to the stage and me, Jodie and Grace walked. Grace had just started to learn to walk so holding mine and Jodie's hand walked down to the stage. What made it so special was seeing Connors face light up when he saw Lilly and Casper and the saw Jessie.
"What you doing here?" He said when we reached the stage. He had Jessie up in his arms and Lilly and Casper stood either side of him
"Those two nagging." I said
Connor smiled at Lilly and Casper.
"I'm glad your here." Connor said putting Jessie down and jumping down off the stage.
"Come on kids let's leave mum and dad alone for a bit. Let's go find some food." Jodie said
They walked off Brad, Sid, James and Tristan followed
"Miss me?" I said
"Of course." Connor said he spun me round and pushed me against the stage.
"Good to hear." I smiled
"It's been crap without you and the kids." Con said
"Well I do try." I said smiling
Connor started kissing my neck.
"Miss me that much hey." I said tilting my head slightly.
"Yes." Connor said
"Nice to hear." I said
Our lips met. But this was the kind of kiss that I received when we first started dating and he'd been away for months at a time.
"I love you." He said putting his arms round me neck
"I love you more." I said resting my head on his shoulder.
