We all drove back to Owen's. This was his sisters last day with us anyway so Owen dropped her to the airport after she packed her stuff. She kept apologising and she felt really bad. I said my goodbye and apologised for the eventful scene I caused at the stadium. She said she would come back soon and we would have a girly weekend. She told me how much her mum has been saying about me "my mum really loves you Amelia, so dont let this one fool you about! Well have a girly day soon" Only if that was possible with rugby. I couldnt understand why everyone was so obsessed with me and Owen.

I was left with Oliver, he still wasnt 100% right but he was getting there. We made a cake which cheered him up a little bit. We ended up having a bit of a flour fight. Then he started to chase me round the house with flour. Luckily Owen's house was quite big, not as big as his place in London though. Me and Oliver were in the kitchen, we heard Owen come through the front door "I'm back, what's all this over the floor?" I picked up the bag of flour in one arm and Oliver in the other. "Shh" we hid behind the kitchen door. Owen opened it and took the biggest deep breathe. He was not happy with the mess. As he got in my reach, I emptied the whole bag of flour over him.

"What the hell!!!" He was not happy. Me and Oliver laughed so hard as soon as he heard Oliver's laugh he started laughing too. He shook his head over the pair of us letting any loose flour fall on to us. We all ended up laughing, I had tears in my eyes which caused the flour to harden to my face. Owen picked up Oliver and pulled me in for a hug. Oliver had defintely perked up now. "Have fun then?" Oliver nodded. "Daddy, Amelia is the best" I dusted the flour out of Oliver's hair "I know buddy, she is the best" Owen kissed my head then immediately wiped his mouth as he just got a mouthful of flour instead.

Owen took Oliver for a bath, while I tidied up all the mess we managed to make. I missed this feeling of having a family and what it was like to belong. I felt whole again (queue Atomic Kitten). I sang my way round the house as I hoovered and got myself cleaned up. Right on queue once I finished cleaning the flour from every gap in the house. Owen and Oliver came down with their matching pyjamas on. How cute they looked.

I cut up the cake and took it into the boys. We watched the incredibles two and five minutes into the film Oliver was snoring. "I better go" I whispered. "Noooo, stay with me" Owen whined like a child. "I haven't got any stuff" Owen got up and rang someone. "Hey Ben, yeah Oliver's ok, can you bring round some of Amelia's clothes? Yeah sound, well if you want to, yeah all sorted mate dont worry, yes I'll look after her" Owen rolled his eyes as he spoke on the phone. "Yes Ben, just because I whopped your ass on the field, yeah rematch, yes, see you in 10" he put the phone down "sorted" my phone started going mad - the group chat.

'You're staying with him?'
'Is the child ok?'
'Remember sex ban'
'Make him work for it girl'
'Best behaviour while theres a child in the house'
I rolled my eyes at them
'Dont be rolling your eyes at us either girl'

It's like they read my mind.

'How did you know? Yes I know I know! Oliver dont leave me alone. You should have seen the look on Holly's face. I wish I took a picture. No need to lecture me, I'll see you in the morning for training anyway. I got to coach before training anyway so meet you at the stadium. Love you two! You behave yourselves too. Dont do anything I wouldnt ;)'

I loved them but they are like mothers to me. They try look after me all the time. Owen put Oliver to bed. Ben barged in with my clothes. By the looks of it, all of them. What is it with everyone and barging in each others houses?
"You kicked me out or something?" I looked at the clothes. It was literally everything I took to his house. He looked nervous. He didnt know what to say and Owen wasnt here to defend him.
