Smoothing out the wrap front print dress that she was wearing, Camille tried to prepare herself to meet the footballers before the match; she was almost glad that there was no sign of a bump yet that would give the game away. 

She had gone to see a doctor for her first scan before flying out and Camille was in awe of her baby; they were so small right now that they remembered her of a jellybean. 

Felipe VI and Queen Letizia were already meeting the two teams before the match and Camille respected the fact that she needed to wait because she wasn't as high ranking as them. 

It gave her a little time to relax before she was the centre of attention again, Camille found it strange that she was here alone without any of her family here to back her up. 

Felipe VI and Queen Letizia stepped out of the room when they were done and smiled at Camille before heading off to the box where they would be watching the match; they would see her up there when she was done meeting the players. 

"Presenting Her Serene Highness, Princess Camille of Monaco," a man called before she stepped into the room, Camille forced a smile to her face trying not to show how nervous she was about all of this. 

It was strange to be stood in a room full of men like this and Camille was almost relieved that she wouldn't have to stay in the room for long. 

"This is Atletico Madrid Captain, Gabriel Fernández," the man said introducing Camille to the Atletico captain first, it wasn't long before the match started and they did not have much time. 

Camille shook Gabriel's hand, she offered him a smile knowing that he would have a lot of his mind for this match; she couldn't imagine the pressure that they were all under. 

It was completely different for her and Camille knew that she didn't envy the people in this room; she was slowly moved down the line to meet each of the Atletico players.

"And this is the Real Madrid Captain, Sergio Ramos," the man said introducing Camille to the next captain, she was done with the Atletico players and it was time to move onto the next set. 

Camille turned to look at the captain and came to a complete stop, she stared at the man before her feeling her stomach drop; this certainly wasn't how she had expected them to be reunited. 

"It's nice to meet you," Camille greeted trying to work out what the hell she was going to do now, she had never considered that he might be someone famous. 

Sergio tried not to gape at the sight of Camille, he had never thought that the woman that he had slept with would be some sort of princess; he almost wanted to leave the room and not come back. 

He had little doubts that she had forgotten about their night together and Sergio wasn't sure how he felt about it now; he regretted what he had done and he was relieved that she wouldn't be going to the press about it. 

Taking a deep breath, Camille took a step away from Sergio and moved down the line hoping that no one had noticed the tension between them; she was going to have to talk to Marcus about what had just happened. 

Sergio couldn't help but watch Camille walk on and meet the rest of his team-mates; he had no idea what to think about this situation, he had never thought he would mess up in such a way. 

He had a feeling that this was going to come and bite him in the ass, the last thing that Sergio wanted was for Pilar to find out who he had slept with. 

She might have forgiven him for cheating but Sergio doubted that she would react well when she discovered just who the woman was; he didn't need that some sort of drama in his life.

"I still don't believe it," Marcus whispered softly after hearing what Camille had said, he had no idea how his friend had managed to find a footballer to fall into bed with; he guessed that she was just that lucky. 

Camille didn't say anything, she stared down at the pitch watching the match trying to wrap her head around the fact that Sergio Ramos was the father of her unborn child. 

She had no idea how she was going to get him alone to reveal the news but Camille just wanted him to be aware right now that they were going to have a baby together. 

"Are you sure that it is him?" Marcus asked looking at Camille, he didn't want his friend to get this wrong when there was so much hanging in the balance right now. 

The last thing he wanted was for Camille to be wrong about Sergio being the father and she ended up on the front page of every newspaper in the world because Sergio or someone he knew opened their mouths. 

"More than sure," Camille said trying not to stare at the Real Madrid captain, it was strange to think that he was the father of her child. 

The match slowly moved through extra time and Camille couldn't imagine how anyone on that pitch was still standing; they had been playing for nearly two hours now with only short breaks. 

Camille and Marcus were quiet for a while just focusing on their thoughts while the match came to a close and they were forced to move into penalties. 

Holding her breath, Camille tried to ease her nerves have the penalties played out before her; she didn't know how anyone could stand such tension, she didn't think she would ever be able to stand such pressure. 

It didn't take long for Real Madrid to be declared the winners and Camille clapped her hands, she offered a smile to Felipe VI and Queen Letizia knowing that she could give nothing away.

"What are you going to do?" Marcus asked while things were being set up, he had no idea what was going to happen and Camille had a big decision that lay ahead of her now; she was going to need to sort out this out. 

Camille was going to be a mother in a few months' time, they needed to work out what part the father would play in all of this; there was no way that they couldn't not telling him what was going on. 

"I am going to talk to him," Camille insisted wanting to do this, she had to be the one to talk with Sergio; she didn't want anything from him, only for him to know that she was carrying his child at that moment. 

Marcus raised an eyebrow, he wasn't sure how she would manage that and he hoped that she had some sort of plan about how she was going to hide this meeting from the press. 

They would be all over this if they got any hint of what was going on and Camille didn't need this right now; she had to focus on the baby that she was carrying. 

Looking back down at the pitch, Marcus couldn't help but spot Sergio moving to crowds to meet someone; he couldn't help but fear who he might be going to greet. 

A woman stepped out of the crowd with two children with her, the youngest couldn't be more than a few months old and Marcus prayed that his wasn't going where he thought it was going. 

"There's just one problem..." Marcus murmured, his blue eyes locked on Sergio while the footballer picked up his eldest son that was with him and kissed his girlfriend; he had no idea how they would deal with this. 

Camille followed his gaze and she felt sick seeing Sergio with another woman, she hadn't known that he had a girlfriend and children; she felt guilty for what she was about to do. 

There was no way that she couldn't tell him that she was having his baby; Camille couldn't imagine now how he was going to react to the news.
