One of the worst things in relationships in Aleksandra opinion is when you argue with Antoine. They would small petty arguments but never serious once but since living in two different countries it's all they can seem to do. Sometimes it feel like they can't walk anymore with having a disagreement.

Of course, Aleksandra was still going to Qatar but her surprise plan had failed and she didn't want Antoine to think she was now going now because she going to get paid. Her and the kids had made it safely and Aleksandra was in the shower, her children was getting dress to surprise Antoine like they originally planned.

"Rory, (Mallory) can you keep a secret for me?" Mara asked her older sister. Roman looked over to his younger sister and he already knew what he was going to say.

"Mara, you can't. You promised mama." Roman said.

"Rory, Mama isn't well. We are both worried about her and we want Daddy to come home... Mama was in hospital.... I think Mama might die." Mara said and the three year old was now having a felt down.

"Mama was in hospital?"

"Mama doesn't eat anymore." Roman said. He was on the verge of tears.

Mallory had noticed that their mum had lost some weight. Her clothes hanged off her. She did agree with her siblings that she wanted her parents to give back together. She adored living with her father. He was her best friends after all but that doesn't mean she doesn't miss her mum and dare she say she misses her siblings too.

What did Mallory miss about living with her mum? She missed her mum cooking. (Antoine was good at cooking but no way near as good as Mama) She missed how much her Dad became so much more happier with her around. She missed how their mum would often switch between languages and randomly tell them words in Ukrainian. She missed how there was always flowers in the house or how mum always knew where at items was if she lost it. There was so many more things that missed about not living with her mum.

Aleksandra got out the shower and walked into their hotel room where she was greeted by Mallory, who gave her a huge hug. "Mama, I promise I will be good the whole of the World Cup." Mallory informed her mum.

Afterwards, the family got ready to surprise Antoine. Aleksandra knew he was going to be training and she knew the address thanks to Zoe Cristofoli (girlfriend of Theo Hernandez). Aleksandra was wearing a white T-shirt with a cream silk skirt and a wear of tranours. Both Roman and Mara was in there football kits and had been refusing to get out of them. Mallory was wearing shorts and a top with flowers on it.

The four made their way to the training ground. Aleksandra and Antoine hasn't really spoken since the argument. Aleksandra felt nervous about making her way to the training grounds. She knew that something had to change in their marriage but the problem was they was both liked their life where they was. Aleksandra, didn't want to live back in Spain. She was happy in England and Antoine didn't want to move to England. He was happy in Spain. They only way she could see the two living back together if they move to France. Aleksandra would pack everything in a heartbeat to back to France. She adores the country.

Roman held on tightly to Aleksandra hand. Mara was being carried by her mother and Mallory was walking head only a couple of cm. The four of them was greeted by Didier Deschamps (France football manager).

"Bonjour Mrs Griezmann." Didier said. He gave Aleksandra two kissed on the cheek but Aleksandra gave him a third kiss and he looked shocked by her action.

"Don't forget Didier I am Ukrainian and we always give 3 kisses." They two went on talking to each other and walked out onto the football pitch where the French team was training. Well, it looked more like they messy around but Didier didn't mind. It wasn't hard to find Antoine. The couple would soften say how they have a sixth sense with each other. Doesn't matter if they are a party or a football game they couple are always able to find each other in a matter of seconds.

Aleksandra playing on making her way other to Antoine but she got distracted by other France players, Raphael Varane. Since the two meet, they just clicked. Since Raphael moved to Manchester, and played for United, Aleksandra would often joke that Raphael is her work husband. Antoine adored Raphael but there was a part of him that felt like if Aleksandra was to never leave him or have an affair then it would be with Raphael. Raphael wife, Camille felt the same way as Antoine. Camille hated Aleksandra and wouldn't hide her feelings in public.

"Bonjour, ma belle femme de travail." (Hello, my beautiful work wife) Raphael said greeting Aleksandra with 3 kisses on the check. "Ne laisse pas ta femme t'entendre m'appeler comme ça. Mais bonjour mon mari de travail." (Don't let your wife hear you call me that. But hello my work husband."

"Antoine, Raphael is stealing your wife away." Kylian said. All the football players never believed that Aleksandra would leave Antoine for Raphael. But it didn't mean that it didn't stop them from teasing Antoine about it.

Antoine was confused by the comments because with the argument the had the phone a few days ago, he truly believed that Aleksandra wasn't going. Along with her ignoring his texts and phone calls but he knew better than keep on messaging Aleksandra when she was annoyed. Before Antoine couldn't get to his wife, he was greeted by his two daughters, Roman was still holding tightly onto his mother hands but did give his father a small wave.

Finally Aleksandra looked over to where Antoine was and a huge smile came across her face and she light jogged over to where her husband was. "Привіт, моя любов / Pryvit, moya lyubov" (hello, my love in Ukrainian) Aleksandra said.

"Bonjour, mon beau." Antoine said. Aleksandra grabs the face of her husband and pulled him into a kiss. For the moment, it felt like everything had done away. All the arguments and the fights had done away. It was just the two of them but this World Cup, was going to be the make or break for this adored couple.
