Jesy's Little Girls (Little Mix Adoption Story)

Chapter 27 - Eloise's Bed: Part One

Leigh Anne's POV

Jesy, Olivia, Eloise and I are currently at the Olympic Park in London, the weather has been awful this week and we wanted to get out of the house, my sisters were going to come with their children but they've all come down with the flu. Jesy and I are sat at a bench watching the girls play, it looks like it's going to rain at any moment but it's quiet at the playground so the girls are having a great time playing. 

Jesy: "Eloise! Be careful, please!" Jesy shouts across watching Eloise precariously hang from the monkey bars. "I swear those girls are going to be the death of me," she jokes turning back to me. 

Me: "We need a girly night out," I decide. 

Jesy: "I can't leave them..." she says but I can tell how much she wants and needs a night out away from her new 'motherly duties.' 

Me: "Well I don't mean just leave them, we'll find a babysitter," 

Jesy: "No way, they would never let me," 

Me: "Okay... whatever..." 

Jesy: "Leigh, you've seen them, I couldn't, especially not at bedtime," 

Me: "I know, we'll think of something. Is Eloise not any better?" I ask really knowing the answer. 

Jesy: "Nope, still on the camp bed. It's getting ridiculous now, Leigh, I don't know what to do," 

Me: "I don't know, Jess, we've tried everything I can think of," 

Jesy: "Mmm- I'm just going to have to force her now, just make her do it," 

Me: "Yeah... easier said than done, though isn't it," I say before being interrupted by the girls running towards us as the rain starts. 

Olivia: "It's raining!" she says running for the nearby café. 

Jesy: "Alright, let's go and have our lunch inside," 

The four of us as well as the few other families left on the playground ran for the nearest shelter, I followed Olivia with Jesy and Eloise following behind me, as I held the door open of the cafe, Olivia already shaking the water off a little like a wet dog would, I watched as almost in slow motion Eloise fell up the step on to the wooden deck banging her knees hard. 

Jesy: "Oh God! Eloise!" Jesy said, immediately lifting the crying five year old on to her hip carrying her the rest of the way through the door. 

Eloise: "I-I hurt my k-knees," she said through her tears pointing at her wet and dirty jeans. 

Me: "I know, do you want to sit on Jesy's lap and I'll see if there alright," I asked gently as we sat at one of the few empty tables. 

Eloise: "No, it hurts..." she whined turning from me, as I tried to pull her jeans up. 

Jesy: "Let her, Els, and then you can have your lunch," She grumbled but didn't complain as I placed band aids over her grazed knees, passing her a chocolate cookie. 

Me: "Good girl, Ellie Belle," I praised passing out the rest of our pre-packed lunch. 

After finishing our lunch we decided that since it was still raining hard and showed no signs of slowing down or stopping we would head home. Eloise fell asleep in the car on the way home and slept through the whole journey, exhausted from our morning out. 

Jesy: "Leigh, can you unlock the door so I can get Ellie," she asked throwing me the keys across the driveway. 

Me: "Yeah, sure," I said catching them and opening the front door as Olivia walked through, "take your shoes off, Olivia, or you'll have to clean the carpet," I said knowing the rules of Jesy's house.
