Maddie’s P.O.V
I grabbed my training kit and put it on under my club jacket. I called Amelia and Freya and they came upstairs using their hands. Harry’s gone to take the kids to school and is looking forward to the day by himself. I already ran bringing the twins to training with me by Karen and she said that it’s perfectly fine and a few of the other girls do exactly the same. I picked up the keys to my Range Rover, deciding it would be the one car that I’m not bothered if it gets messed up, and opened the garage door. I held my hands out for the twins and they came over to me and I helped them into the garage. I picked up my sports bag and strapped Amelia and Freya into their car seats, putting my sports bag in the foot well and got into the front. I opened the garage door and drove out, copying my actions with the gate. I got half way to the training ground when Freya started crying. I looked in my rear view mirror to see why and saw that she dropped her teddy. I can’t stop here; I’m in the middle of the road. I used one hand on the steering wheel and tried to get her teddy with the other one. I managed it and gave it back to her, calming her instantly and carried on driving to the training ground. I pulled into the parking lot and jumped out of the car at the same time as Alex. I got the twins and my bag out and held the twins’ hands.
“Well look who decided to come to training,” Alex laughed coming over.
“I had the day off, so decided I’d come down and train like I’m meant to everyday,” I told her.
“Who are these two little trouble-makers?” She asked looking at Amelia and Freya.
“These are my youngest daughters, Amelia and Freya. Say hi to Alex girls.” I said and they waved shyly.
“Hang on, Mum and Dad are in showbiz and they’re shy?”
“Unbelievable isn’t it?” I questioned and we went into the ground. We got inside and Amelia and Freya started pulling on my arms. “What?” I looked down at them.
“Play, play, play!” They shouted pointing at the ball.
“Not right now girls,” I replied.
“Where’s Harry today then?” Alex said.
“At home, having peace and quiet, I never get time with my girlies so I thought they could come to training with me.” I smiled looking down at my angels.
“Maddie!” Karen came over.
“Hiya,” I smiled at her.
“I take it these are your girls?” She looked at the two excited girls jumping up and down either side of me.
“Yeah, this is Amelia,” I moved my right arm holding up Amelia’s arm and repeated the same with my left to introduce Freya.
“Okay, they can go over there while you train. Katie’s little boy and Holly’s daughter will be there too. They can play with their own little ball and have a game of their own.” She said pointing at a part of the pitch that was cornered off.
“Okay, thanks.” I said and she walked off. Katie came in a few minutes later carrying her son who had brown hair and blue eyes just like her. He’s gorgeous and so is she.
“Hey! These two princesses must be Freya and Amelia!” She said walking over to Alex and I.
“They are,” I smiled proudly and both of them hid behind my legs. “They’re a bit shy.” I laughed.
“This is Leon; he comes to pretty much every training session because my other half works a lot.” She introduced me to her son.
“He’s gorgeous,” I noted and she smiled.
“So are your girls, but they have gorgeous parents.” She countered.
“I wouldn’t exactly call Harry gorgeous,” I laughed and both Alex and Katie laughed too.
“Girls! Chats over! Sort out the children and then get training.” Karen shouted.
“I think that’s our cue,” Katie laughed and we went over to the cornered off bit.
“Be good okay? Shout for me if you need anything and play nicely.” I said to the twins and they just ran to the soccer ball. Nice to know they love me. Katie kissed Leon on the cheek and then we both went into the changing rooms to dump our bags and take off our jackets. We got ready and went out onto the pitch and warmed up. Holly ran in a few minutes later, left her daughter with Leon and the girls and ran into the changing rooms.
“Holly is always late to training, she blames it on her daughter but it’s because she can’t get up in the morning. Her daughter is always ready to go when she wakes up because her boyfriend has sorted her out but she just can’t get up.” Katie told me. I laughed and we carried on warming up. The twins were playing their own game with Leon which they decided was catch and I smiled and we started training. About an hour in, Freya called me.
“Mommy!” She shouted and I turned around. “I hungwy.” She told me.
“Suck it up Frey; we’ll get something to eat soon.” I shouted back and she pouted and crossed her arms.
“She’s got your attitude.” Shannon said.
“It’s Harry’s attitude actually, thank you very much. He does that when he doesn’t get his own way.” I replied to her and she burst out laughing.
“Does he really?” She passed the ball to me.
“Always,” I passed it back.
“So you basically have 6 kids.”
“Yep, and 3 jobs, it’s not easy.” I said and we passed the ball back and forth. “I’ve got to go to the studio to record tonight so that’s why I brought them with me, to see if they can burn some energy so they go to sleep for Harry.” I told her.
“What time will you be there until? Considering we get finished here at 3,” She asked.
“Well if we finish here at 3, I’ll go and pick up Melissa from school, take her home, do some housework that Harry won’t have done, make dinner for the kids and Harry, get ready to go, and leave at about 7. Then I’ll be there until around 1 in the morning, recording and changing the song to make it sound better. I’ll get back home at about quarter-past 1 and go to bed only to get up at 7 in the morning, sort out the kids, drop off Lis at school and go to work. Finish work at 5, go home, housework, make dinner, go to work again. It just repeats itself.” I explained.
“I find it hard enough doing this job with a 4 year old, how do you manage it with what, a 13 year old, 12 year old, 6 year old and two 1 year olds, and 2 other jobs?”
“You just get used to never being at home, so when you’re sitting watching TV, I’ll be singing in some studio recording my next album, which, exclusive information, is going to be my last one. Then I’m going on a massive 8 month tour and calling my singing career quits.”
“How many breaks will you get in your tour?”
“I have a few breaks spread out throughout the tour and when I finish my tour, I finish my career.” I told her. She nodded and we carried on training until we could stop for lunch. I called the girls over and picked them both up. “What do you want for lunch?” I asked them.
“McDonwlds!” Amelia suggested.
“Okay, let’s go quickly then,” I got my purse out of my bag and went to the car. The others were all heading to some café and I’m going to McDonalds. I ordered the twins two chicken nugget happy meals and strawberry shakes and a shake for myself. I paid and we went back to the car. There is going to be food all over my car and I know it. I drove back to the training ground and when I got the twins out there were fries all over my car. I groaned and brushed them both down. They took their meals inside and I took the drinks. I locked the car and followed after my little monsters. They were sat down on the side-lines eating with Leon and Katie. I smiled and went and sat with them. I gave them their drinks and they sat happily with their McDonalds. I left the twins with Katie for a minute and went to get my phone.

How are the twins? Are they behaving?x
I took my phone back and sat down again.
To: Hubby<3
Yeah they’re fine. I’ll pick Melissa up on the way home x
I drank the rest of my shake and we had to get back to training. We trained for 2 more hours and then we left. I put the twins into the car and got Lis’ car seat out of the trunk and put it into the front. I drove to her school and she ran up to my car. She got in and put her seatbelt on. “Good day?” I asked her and she nodded, smiling. I pulled out of the school parking lot and started the drive home.
“We did drawing today, look mummy.” Lis said as I was about to turn. I told her to hang on and turned down the road that leads to our house. She showed me a picture of all of us and Charlie.
“That’s really cute Lis, well done.” I said and unlocked the gate with my fob. Lis unbuckled her seatbelt and jumped out and I got the twins and my bag out.
