When breakfast was over, we cleaned up a bit, washed the bed sheets, and got dressed for the day.

Jesy had on her work uniform, Jade opted for jeans and a hoodie, Perrie wore one of those float tops that I could see her piercings through, and I kept it simple with track pants and a t-shirt.

When it came time to take Jesy to the bar where she worked, we all filed into the car.

Before I could stick the key into the ignition, my phone rings in the cup holder. "I'll get it," Jesy says, picking my phone up while I start the car.

"It's Drea," she says as I'm putting the car in reverse. I nod once, signaling for her to answer it. "Hi, Drea!" She greets her once her face pops up on the screen.

The other two greet her as well and she returns. "Hi, girls! Where's Leigh?" Jesy turns the phone on me and I glance over to see the woman smiling. "Hey, Drea," I say, smiling back.

"Oh, Leigh! Guess what?" She smiles brightly, making me do so as well. "What?"

"Lia has a championship game on Wednesday," she says, smile never breaking. "Championship?" Jade perks up. "Holy shite, that kid is propa talented, eh?"

"I mean, look at one of her mothers," she half jokes.

You see, Alia-Alani is my daughter.

Andrea and I hooked up a bit before I met any of the girls. It was a drunken one night stand and from that, she got pregnant. Not too long after she gave birth, I was already dating Jade, with Perrie and Jesy joining us months later.

Andrea's also a defender for Watford's ladies team, which I didn't find out until the info about her pregnancy surfaced.

The public doesn't know who her "dad" is for obvious reasons.

We're good friends and great parents for Alia. Actually, she's my best friend and I couldn't wish for a better mother for her.

"What time is the game?" Perrie asks her; Jesy rises the phone so the women could see each other. "Be there by at least 4. We wanna get good seats for this," she replies.

"And see Lia kick some ass," Jesy says. "Actually, she'd be kicking a ball," I say, earning a grimace from the woman. "I'm gonna kick yours into your stomach," she threatens and I whimper. "That was graphic," I whine.

"No, don't do that! Lia wants a little brother and I can't give her one." We all chuckle at that. "Is she ready? I'm coming there after I take Jes to work."

"Yeah. She's just outside with Andre. They're 'warming up'," she rolls her eyes fondly. "It's funny how her mam and uncle are famous footballers, meanwhile...," Jade looks at me and I quirk a brow at her.

"You are gonna get a slap in a minute," I warm and she shrugs. "Make sure it's on me ass."

Andrea gasps then laughs, "Jade, you are crazy, lass. Absolutely crazy."

"Fanks, 'm here all week," she says in a deadpan kinda tone.

"A'right, well, they just came in so I'm gonna get her washed and ready, okay?"
