Racing Heart - Alex Morgan Imagine

A/N: For the purpose of this imagine, Alex has been de-aged to 21 years old. Everything else is the same.

Alex’s POV:

“This news coming days after Valtteri Bottas announced his return to Williams. It did not take Mercedes long at all to fill his position as they make history by announcing the rookie signing of 19-year old (Y/N) Harris. This marks the first time a female driver has been allowed onto the main roster of drivers.” Pinoe read out as Ashlyn had a scowl on her face. Ali just looked incredibly disappointed.

“This doesn’t make sense. Why couldn’t she have just told us about it?” Ash said crossing her arms.

“Maybe because she knew you wouldn’t approve?” Kelley said raising an eyebrow at the couple.

I glanced down at my phone when it buzzed indicating I got a text. It was a text from the girl in question asking me to meet her downstairs. She was here to surprise her parents, but she wanted alone time with me before she was to see them.

“I will be back in a little bit.” I said as everyone nodded. Ash continued ranting about (Y/N) becoming an official driver as Ali just had a somewhat sad and thoughtful look.

I exited the room as I made my way down to the lobby of the hotel. I smiled when I spotted my girlfriend looking down at her phone. I did my best to make my way to her before she could look up. I wrapped my arms around her as she jumped. She gave me a smile wrapping her arms around my waist.

“Hi.” I mumbled into her shoulder. She tightened her grip a little as she pulled away pulling me in for a kiss. I smiled letting myself be pulled into her. Everything about her was like an adventure.

“I missed you.” She said leaning her forehead against mine.

“I missed you too so much.” I said as I pulled away and pulled her towards the elevator. I was roomed with Pinoe who no doubt was going to stay with Ali and Ash right now. So, I felt pretty safe.

Once we snuck to my room, she picked me up and carried me to the bed. I laughed when we fell into it together. We laid there facing each other with soft smiles on our faces. There was really no one that I would rather be with than her.

“I should say congratulations on your new team.” I said as she rolled on her back a little with a slight chuckle.

“Yeah it’s insane.” She said with a dazed expression. I moved so I could lay on her chest. She brushed some hair out of my face as her hand caressed my face. “I know I made the right decision though.”

“Do you think that maybe you should have talked to your family first?”

“Probably. I meant to talk to them beforehand. I wasn’t expecting them to announce it so soon.” She said with a look of guilt. “Are they mad?”

“Definitely. At least Ash is mad about it. I think Ali is just upset that you didn’t tell them.” I said as she nodded her head.

“Yeah…it’s going to be such a great conversation.” She said sarcastically earning a small smile from me. “I don’t want to talk about that right now. I missed you and all I want is to be here with you.”

“I think something can be arranged.” I joked leaning up to kiss her. She smiled rolling us over, so she was on top of me. I wrapped my legs around her waist as she started placing kisses on my jaw and neck.

It wasn’t long before clothes started being shed and the feeling of her skin on mine. Every moment with her was like a bomb going off in my heart and the intimate moments that I got to spend with her were times I wish I could live in forever. The way she explores my body has always been one of the things I have loved the most about her. Every time she touches me it always feels like the first time. Like, she is exploring like she never has before. The way her touch sets my body on fire and the way the pleasure washes over us in waves. It is a feeling I will never get tired of.

I never thought that I could feel this strongly and passionately about one person until I met her. She came out of nowhere, but I was so sure she was the one I was meant to be with. Our relationship has always been one filled with passion and love. There has always been some sort of invisible pull between us. The not so great thing about our relationship is the secrecy and the hiding we do from those around us. She has been so nervous to tell her parents we are together, just because she thinks they are going to feel some type of way about us being together. I can’t say I disagree.

“What are you thinking about?” she asked me running her fingers up and down my spine. The activities from earlier long over as we lay in bed together enjoying the come down of the high we find with each other.

“You.” I said simply as she smiled.  

“Good things I hope.” She said as I nodded my head.

“Always good things.” I said kissing her cheek. She smiled leaning back in to give me another kiss. She seemed ready to continue, but I knew the time we had left was limited.

“As much fun as this could be, you need to go see your parents. It’s amazing that they haven’t blown your phone up after the news they got today.

“You’re no fun.” She pouted as I rolled my eyes. I leaned in to give her a kiss before she stood up. I took a moment to check out her body before she pulled her clothes on. She turned back towards me bending down to give me another kiss. “I’ll see you later?”

“Of course.” I said as she smiled and exited the room.

(Y/N) POV Switch

I walked out of Alex’s room heading towards the room my parents were in. I felt very reluctant to part with my girlfriend just because of how much I missed her, but I was also super excited to see my parents. Despite the fact that they are definitely going to yell at me. I should have talked to them as soon as my signing onto Mercedes was done. It’s just my ma has made it known to me that she wasn’t a fan of my racing. Even though, it is the thing I am most passionate about. Racing to me is what football is to her.

It’s one of a few secrets that I am keeping from my parents. The other big one being my relationship with Alex. I know that Alex hates being a secret and I wish things could be different, but I know how my parents are and I don’t see them being okay with us. She is too close to them for them to not care. I love her though. I want to be with her all the time. In the good times and the bad times. At this point, I can’t see myself with anyone else.

“Here we go…” I mumbled to myself as I knocked on the door. I waited a moment before the door was thrown open.

“Oh boy.” Pinoe mumbled as she saw me. I shot her a nervous smile as she pulled me in for a hug. “Congrats. I hope they don’t kill you.”

“Me too.” I said as I stepped into the room.

“I just think it’s irresponsible and so shady that she didn’t just tell us the truth. Like…we are her parents-”

“Ash!” my mom interrupted my ma’s rant as they both focused on me.

“Tell me how you really feel.” I joked as my mom immediately crossed the room. She pulled me in for a hug as I buried my face into her shoulder. It felt good to be back in the arms of my mom. No one gave me comfort like her.

“My baby” she said as I smiled slightly. “We have a lot to talk about.”

“I know” I said as I turned towards my ma. She had a hesitant look on her face as she then walked towards me pulling me in for a hug.

“I am so angry at you.” She said as I nodded my head.

“I had a feeling you would be.”

“Everyone out. We need to talk.” My ma said as everyone left and the three of us were alone.

“What were you thinking? Why didn’t you tell us?”

“Okay let’s not throw a thousand questions.” My mom said as I took a breath and sat on the bed.

“I’ve always loved racing. You know that. I’ve never hid that.” I said as they both nodded. They knew I had a strong passion for it. “I’m good at it. I have some of the fastest times. If you give me a real car that I can race in, I can compete with some of the top drivers.”

“Why didn’t you tell us that you were looking into it?” ma asked with a irritated look on her face.

“Because I knew you would be unhappy about it. You have never hid your feelings about me racing, but it’s what I want to do.” I said crossing my arms.

“It’s too dangerous.” My mom said as I sighed. “You could die. It’s not like other sports where if you mess up then its okay. If you mess up during a race, the consequence could be death.”

“That’s an exaggeration. If you do it safely, then you’re fine.”

“No. It doesn’t matter how safe you are being, accidents happen and you could still end up dead.”

“There’s no guarantee though. I am with a great team who takes care of their drivers.” I defended as they both shout me doubtful looks.

“(Y/N)…it’s a no.” my ma said as I shook my head out of frustration.

“I already signed the contract. I am locked in for at least the next season which starts very soon might I add.”

“How long have you known?”

“A little while. Maybe 2 months. I’m sorry I didn’t tell you but this right here is why. You’re proving my point. I have a chance to make a difference in the sport. Not just the team but the entire sport. If I can win the championship, I’ll make history.” I said as they both shot me soft looks. Though, they both looked furious still.

“I understand wanting to make history. It’s tempting. It’s not worth your life though and I can’t believe you knew for that long and never said anything.”

“Its not what you want, but I am not backing out. I’m locked into this contract and I am going to see it through. You won’t be able to change my mind. I really hope you change your mind though because I would love for you to come to my first race. Any races actually.”

“I am going to support whatever you do because you’re our kid. My baby. I just…I wish you had told us. I wish this was a decision that you had made while consulting us.”

“I’m not a kid anymore. I can make my own decisions.”

“You’re still our baby though.” My mom said as I smiled a little.

“I know.”

They pulled me in for a hug as I let myself fall into them. I wanted them to support me because it’s what I needed. I knew not everyone was going to be happy about Mercedes signing me. There was always going to be those critics, but I was sure that this is what I wanted.

After talking it out for a few more minutes, we eventually came to an agreement that I would be allowed to do my racing (which I was going to do anyway) and they would support me to the best of their ability. We then exited the room to go hang out with their teammates. It gave me the perfect opportunity to spend time with my parents as well as my girlfriend.

The rest of my visit with the team went just like that. I was with various members of the team and my parents. Every so often, I would sneak off to have some alone moments with Alex. She wasn’t saying it, but I knew the secrecy was starting to really bother her. I wanted to tell my parents but after the bombshell I dropped on them I thought better than to tell them that I was also dating one of their teammates.

After the trip though, time seemed to fly by as I started getting prepared for the upcoming season. The first race was going to be the Australia Grand Prix and my debut for Mercedes. A good portion of the national team was going to be there to support me so that was going to be very exciting. I was starting to get insanely nervous because I know how much is at risk if I don’t do well. Not only my own reputation, but Mercedes reputation as well.

“Are you nervous?” Alex asked me as we laid in my bed together. It was the night before qualifiers, and I was trying to keep my cool. Alex had managed to sneak away from her teammates so we could spend a little bit of time together. She always knew how to keep me calm and it’s exactly what I needed right now.

“A little. I had a pretty good practice session, but I need to be at the top of my game tomorrow if I hope to be in pole position. I have a lot of competition.”

“You got this. I believe in you.” She said as I smiled giving her a soft kiss.

“A lot of people are relying on me and I don’t want to let them down.” I said as she nodded her head.

“I’ve been there. It’s not easy having that many people needing you to succeed.” I nodded my head at her statement as I turned my body to cuddle more into her.

I was asleep not long after that moment. It felt nice to fall asleep in her arms. I don’t think I have ever felt as comfortable as when I get to do that. When I woke up, I was alone in my bed as I checked my phone. I had a text from Alex telling me she needed to get back to her teammates which I understood.

I got ready for the day as I departed my hotel with some of my team members. My main technician, Austin was explaining the changes they are debating for the car. The car I have is not as good as the car they have given Lewis, but I understand its because they are more worried about Lewis winning than me. Which is why it’s important for me to take pole position today.

It didn’t take long for us to get to the track and find my spot. I smiled as I got changed and made my way to my car. I climbed in and got myself ready to go out onto the track for qualifying. I did some last-minute checks before driving out. Qualifying seemed to fly by as I pulled into the pit lane to be pulled into the garage.

“Well done (Y/N). Pole position in your first ever qualifying. Something to be proud of.” Austin said to me as I grinned at him. I glanced at the overhead screen and saw that I had taken first with Lewis and Charles both behind me.

“I haven’t won anything yet.” I replied earning a head nod from the man. I went to go take care of myself getting changed back into regular clothes and cleaning myself up. I stopped to talk to Lewis and Charles and some reports before going to find my family.

“Well done.” Pinoe said as I stepped into the lounge that they were allowed into. I was engulfed into a hug by my parents who both squeezed me tight.

“How are you feeling? You look tired.” Ma asked me as I smiled.

“I’m exhausted but I am so happy. Hopefully, I’ve done everything I can for tomorrow.”

“You got this. Also, you didn’t look like you were going so fast, but then I looked out the window and saw how fast you were going.” Kelley said as I smiled.

“It’s a rush.” I said as she nodded her head at me. My eyes then found Alex who was sitting next to Allie. She had a soft smile on her face as I smiled back at her. I wanted nothing more than to pull her into my arms but there were too many people around.

The rest of the day was more relaxed as I spent it with my family and friends. We went to dinner and hung out before I retreated back to my hotel room. It wasn’t long before someone was knocking on the door. I smiled knowing the only person it could be was Alex.

“I am so proud of you.” She said after pulling me in for a kiss. I had already closed the door behind her as I picked her up and carried her to the bed.

“I can’t believe I took pole position.” I said with a giddy smile on my face.

“I told you that you would.”

“I know but still…” I said as she smiled. We spent almost the entire night together before she had to leave again. I needed sleep for the race and her friends would come looking for her soon.

The next day I got up and I could already feel the nerves. This is it. My first race. I went through my pre-race rituals before it was finally time. I drove out on to the track and got into position. My team was doing last minute checks as I waited for the race to start.

“Now, it’s most likely that Lewis is going to box first.” Austin said as I shook my head.

“I should be boxing first.” I mumbled as he shot me a look. I was the rookie there was no way that they were going to box me first.

Everyone left the track as we got ready to start. We went through the formation lap before finally being set to go. I bit my lip in anticipation as I waited for the lights to go.

Once they went, I took off trying to put some distance between me and the boys behind me. The first corner was hell as I made my way around it. I came inches from hitting Lewis as I finally made it out in first. Over the next few laps, it was me fighting to put as much distance between Lewis and I considering he was going into the pits first.

One of the reasons I am so exciting to watch is how I race; I take the risks that other drivers wouldn’t dare to take. It’s one of the reasons my parents aren’t huge fans of my racing. I was told by my team that Lewis was pitting as I gritted my teeth just a little. I needed to win so I could prove that I am the driver they should be supporting more. Once he was done, they told me to box as I made my way around the track again. I pulled into the pits getting down to the regulated speed. They moved quickly as I was already making my way out of the pits. Once out of them, I radioed in to see what place I was in.

“Still in P1, there is a 2 second gap between you and Lewis.” I smirked to myself knowing he was probably bugged over that.

The rest of the race continued to be a dogfight almost as I entered the last lap. There was a 5 second gap between Lewis and I and there was no way I was letting him get in front of me. I couldn’t help but feel my eyes water as I crossed the finish line. It was official I had taken P1 and was now in the lead for the drivers championship.

I pulled into the pits and stopped my car as I climbed out. I stood on top of my car for a moment as I threw my arms up in the sky. Afterwards, I ran to my team. I celebrated with them knowing I couldn’t have done it without them. I took my helmet off as I looked around trying to hold back tears. I was pulled over for an interview as I smiled brightly. After that, I hugged Lewis and Charles as we headed back into the waiting room as I called it.

“Congratulations.” Lewis said as I grinned brightly at the man.

“Thank you, Lewis.”

After that we got to head to the podium as I was handed my trophy, we then did the champagne before finally being allowed to leave. I went out in search of my family as I was tackled into a hug by all of them.

“Holy shit!” ma said excitedly as I grinned at her. “That was incredible. I am so proud of you.”

“We are so proud of you.” My mom said as I smiled so softly. “I was terrified the whole time.”

“I know, but I won.” I said holding up the trophy. I continued accepting hugs from everyone as I finally got to Alex. She hugged me as I held onto her tightly.

“Congrats baby.” She said quietly in my ear as I smiled at her.

“Thank you.” She winked at me before we all went out for celebrations. I had to stop to talk to Toto before we left. He had told me that collectively they were all proud of me. That maybe things will be different in the future if I can continue putting out results like that.

Over the next few months, that is exactly what I did. I took home P1 in Bahrain, China, Spain, Canada, France, England, Italy, and Russia. I’ve taken P2 in Azerbaijan, Austria, Germany, Hungary, and Belgium. I took P3 in Monaco and Singapore. I currently have 322 points. I am exactly 58 points from winning the title for the season. That means I only need to win three out of the five races that are coming up.

Up next, we have the Japanese Grand Prix and I am extremely nervous over it. This is one of the most dangerous tracks to drive on. It always has shit weather and so accidents are more likely to occur. One of the last major incidents in Formula 1 was when Jules Bianchi collided with a recovery vehicle. He died almost a year later.

I tried not think about that as I made my way through the lobby of my hotel. I was heading back to my room because some of my parents’ teammates were here to watch the race. They had also come out to support me, but Alex was going to come see me soon, so I was excited to go see her.

Things have been weird between us because I know she wants to tell people about us, and I do too….I just don’t want my parents to flip out. I love Alex though. She makes me extremely happy and I know she is the person I am meant to be with. I just don’t know that I am ready for them to know about that part of my life.

Alex POV Switch

I sighed to myself as I listened to Kelley talk about the games that we would be playing soon. It’s not that I wasn’t interested but I had other things on my mind. Like, my girlfriend is too afraid to tell her parents that we are dating so now every conversation I have with them just feels awkward. Everyone on the team found out I am dating someone, but they don’t know who. They have been breathing down my neck to try to find out, but I have managed to keep it a secret.

“You know I am starting to feel like you’re not actually listening.” Kelley said earning smiles from everyone around us.

“I’m sorry I just have a lot on my mind.” I said as she nodded her head.

“Everything good?” Ash asked me as I stared at her. I hate this.

“Yeah I just am thinking about stuff with my family.” I lied as they all nodded their heads. It wasn’t long after that we got to the hotel. Most of us were exhausted from the flight over so we went straight to our rooms. I was rooming with (Y/N), but they didn’t know that. I got my room key from the desk before heading to the room.

I walked in and saw her stuff around the room. I smiled setting my stuff down as the bathroom door opened. I turned and smiled when she stopped and looked up at me.

“I’m not gonna lie my heart dropped a little.” She said as I crossed the room pulling her in for a kiss.

We stood for a moment before moving to sit on the bed. She pulled me into her arms as she ran her fingers up and down my back.

“I missed you so much.” She admitted as I smiled. I am fortunate to play in Orlando with her parents so when she visits them, I can see her, but it’s not super easy.

“I missed you too.” I said looking at her with soft eyes. “Are you excited to race this weekend?”

“I’m nervous. The Suzuka circuit is no joke.”

“You got it. I have full faith in you. It’s three races that you need right?”

“Yeah.” She nodded as I admired her face and the way her features moved with each passing thought she had.

“Was the flight over bad?” she asked a moment later as I shook my head.

“No, I slept for most of it.” I said as she nodded her head. After laying with each other for a few more minutes, we both got ready for the dinner we were supposed to go to later.

The night passed pretty quickly. We were able to keep everything on the down low which was good. She spent most of dinner talking with everyone about the race.

“So, if you win this race and the next two races then you win the championship?” Kelley asked as she nodded her head.

“Yes. I would have enough points that Lewis and the others wouldn’t be able to catch up to me.” She said as everyone nodded.

“So, winning should be easy for you…” Ash said earning a grin from my girlfriend.

“I’m definitely going to give it my best shot.” She said as everyone laughed.

After dinner, we headed back to the room where we got to really enjoy each other’s company. Staying up too late wasn’t an option due to her having qualifiers the next day. We had gone to the track and were watching in the little lounge that they had set up for us. There are definitely some benefits to not only being VIPs but part of a driver’s family.

“She seems like she gets better every race.”

“Yeah it does nothing for my anxiety.” Ali said as Ash bit her lip anxiously when (Y/N) went into a corner too late. By the end of the race, (Y/N) was starting in fourth so I knew she definitely wasn’t going to be happy. When she came into the lounge afterwards, I could see the exhaustion on her face.

“You did good kid.” Kyle joked as she frowned at him.

“I’m in fourth.” She said with a slight scowl. “I’m gonna have to dogfight my way to the top tomorrow.”

“You can do it.” Kelley said as she sat down putting her face in her hands. Her shoulders were tense, and I wanted nothing more than to her go over to her and give her some comfort, but I knew it would only make things worse.

Once we were back at the hotel, I made my way to the room where I found her laying down. I smiled a little walking over and laying next to her.

“It’s okay. You can still win tomorrow.” I said softly as she scoffed.

“I’m in fourth Alex. Lewis, Charles, and Sebastian would have to royally fuck up for me to overtake them. I just know that Toto is going to give the edge to Lewis to, so I am just fucked.”

“Hey…relax…” I said as she shook her head. I sighed as she stood and started pacing. “Why don’t we talk about something else?”

“Like what?” she asked as I stared at her for a moment.

“How about telling your parents we are together?” She stopped and stared at me. Her eyes were tired as she came over and sat down.

“I’m not ready to tell them.” She said as I sighed.

“(Y/N) its been like almost a year…”

“I just don’t want them in this part of my life yet. I thought you understood that.” She said as I stared at her with disbelief.

“I have been the most understanding person. I have let it go for months but this is so tiring. Having to hide and be so secretive when I want nothing more than to everyone about how much I love you.”

“I love you too.” She said quietly “I’m just…I don’t want them to know yet.”

“I can’t keep doing this.” I said standing up from the bed as she gave me a shocked expression.

“I don’t like those words.” She said as I nodded my head.

“Yeah me neither…but I mean them. I hate ultimatums but I feel like that’s the only way to get you to understand that I am serious.” I said crossing my arms as she shook her head.

“Alex…” she said approaching me. “Don’t throw our relationship away because of this.”

“At least then you don’t have a relationship to hide from them.” I said out of frustration as she bit her lip staring at me.

“Don’t. Please…” she said as I shook my head again.

“I’m gonna give you some space.” I said walking over and grabbing some stuff before leaving the room. I made my way to Kelley’s room as the defender allowed me into her room.

“What’s wrong?” she asked as I wiped away some tears.

“I think I just became single…” I said as the defender wrapped me into a hug.

That night was probably the worst sleep I have got in a while. The next day already felt terrible as it was heavily raining. I was able to borrow some of Kelley’s clothes as we met up with everyone.

“Where’s (Y/N)?” Tobin asked as she looked around for the driver. My heart clenched at the mention of her name.

“She had to go to the circuit. We are going right now too. The rain is going to be terrible to drive in.” Ali said as we left the hotel. The circuit was packed with people as we made our way to the lounge. We were offered to go sit in the garage, but the rain was going to be terrible, so we opted to stay in the lounge.

We sat talking with each other until the race started. I was hoping it would fly by so I could go talk to (Y/N). I regretted leaving things so badly between us especially since today was so important for her.

The race started not long after and it was around the 34th lap that she was able to overtake Lewis and take P1. Things seemed to be going well until they weren’t. In the 46th lap, while going into one of the corners. Something seemed to happen to her car as she didn’t slow down and plowed right into one of the barriers. Her car flipped up and slammed down upside down.

“oh my god!” Kyle yelled as Ash stood. Ali’s hands flew to her mouth as I felt my heart drop.

“That is not looking good at all for driver (Y/N) Harris. Members of the crew scrambling to get to her. The safety car now being deployed as the worry sets in for the Mercedes driver.” We all sat in absolute silence as we waited to see if she was okay.

“It does not appear like Harris is moving at all.” The commentator said as the crew members were able to lift the car enough to get her out. Everyone let out breaths of relief when she was pulled up by one of the crew members. She was moving around just a little. She seemed to be walking in the direction of her garage.

I was the first to stand running out of the lounge in the direction of the garage. I could hear footsteps behind me as I assumed Ash and them were behind me. I got to the garage in time to see her throw her helmet to the other side of the room. Some of the medics appeared to be trying to help her as I beelined it right for her. Her eyes found me as she stopped and opened her arms. I walked right into her wrapping my self around her as much as I could. She winced a little which made me feel guilty, but I needed to know she was okay. Her eyebrow was bleeding so I knew she needed to get check out.

“I’m alright.” She said as I buried my face into her neck. “It’s okay love...I’m okay.”

“I swear to god…” I mumbled with tears in my eyes as I pulled away to look at her. Without thinking, I kissed her needing to feel her close to me. She kissed me back before pulling away. “Let them look at you.”

“I will.” She conceded as I moved to the side a little so the medic could look at her.

While they were assessing her, I turned towards Ash and them who had variations of anger and concern on their faces. I walked towards them with hesitation.

“Okay. Wait…” I said as Ash raised an eyebrow at me.

“Wait? You’re dating my kid? Are you joking?” she asked as I looked down.

“Yes I am. I am dating (Y/N). We’ve been dating for almost a year. I love her and nothing you say is going to change that.”

“Excuse me?” she said as I stared at her.

“Guys this is not the place.” Ali said taking note of all the cameras around. “We will talk later.”

I nodded turning back to see the medic still assessing (Y/N). They decided to take her to just look at some other things. We were told to head back to the lounge while we waited for her. It was completely awkward as we all sat there not speaking waiting for her to join us.

“I know.” I turned to see my girlfriend walk in talking to Austen. “You don’t need to tell me that. I just need it fixed. I trust you.”

He nodded his head before leaving the room. She turned towards us with a small smile. Her right side of her face was bruised a little as her eyebrow had been bandaged.

“I’m cleared. Just some bruises and stuff.” She said as we nodded. She came over to where I was sitting next to me.

“Okay. First of all, I am glad you’re okay. I would’ve killed you if you weren’t. Secondly, explain.” Ali said looking between us. (Y/N) sighed looking at me and then back at her parents.

“I am dating Alex. I have been for a while. I didn’t tell you because I didn’t want you inserting yourself or anything. I am sorry I didn’t tell you. I asked her not to tell you because I wasn’t ready for you to know.” She said as they stared at her.

“I don’t understand what your issue is with being honest with us.” Ash said crossing her arms. My girlfriend shrugged as she looked at the screen. The race was coming to a close as Sebastian was taking first place. For the most part, (Y/N) was still in position to win the championship but I could see the disappointment on her face.

“You’ll win the next one.” I said softly as she looked at me. She smiled leaning in to give me a kiss.

“I love you.” She said as I smiled.

“I love you too. I’m sorry.”

“Don’t be. I deserved it. The world deserves to know how much I love you.” She said earning a small grin from me. I gave her another kiss as we seemed to get lost in each other.

“Okay that’s cute.” Kyle said looking at us. Ash and Ali both glared at him as he smiled at me. “You can’t deny that. Isn’t her happiness what matters?”

“Of course, but Alex is our teammate.” Ash complained

“Alex is only two years older than her.” Kelley commented as I nodded my head.

“Fine. If you break her heart, I’ll kill you.” Ash said as Ali nodded her head. I smiled and nodded my head.

“I wouldn’t dream of it.” I turned towards my girlfriend with a smile. “I love her too much.”

“I love you too.” She said giving me a kiss before Ash yelled at her to stop.

“We are still your parents.” She said with a disgusted expression.

“Yeah…okay leave me alone. I’m injured.” She said as I laughed softly at her.

They all continued arguing as I enjoyed the moment. Everyone knows now which means we don’t have to sneak around anymore. I’ll be interested to see how everything goes for us moving forward, but I know that as long as we continue to have each other nothing could break us.

The End.

She Already Knew - Christen Press Imagine

(Y/N) POV:

“You look exhausted.” Alex commented as I picked my head up slightly. I had been dozing for the last few minutes.

“I’m tired.” I said as my sister rolled her eyes.

“I wonder why that is…” she said looking at her phone. I glared at her as we heard a knock on the door. I made no move to get up causing Alex to huff before getting up.

We are currently in camp right now. Just arrived. I spent the whole night packing because I am irresponsible and wait until the last minute. I tried to sleep on the plane, but Alex refused to let me which was annoying. Sometimes traveling with your sister is annoying. I started dozing again as Alex was talking to someone though due to how tired I was…I couldn’t quite hear who it was.

“I’m going to see Kelley and Allie.” Alex yelled as I heard the door shut. I groaned in acknowledgement as I felt pleased to finally have the room to myself. I turned my body and spread out a little cuddling into my pillow. I heard a low chuckle come from somewhere in the room. I sat up slightly opening my eyes as I spotted my girlfriend staring at me with an amused smile.

“Well…isn’t this a pleasant sight…” I gave her a tired smile as she shook her head approaching me. She climbed into the bed with me as I hugged her close. “Hey baby…”

“Hello…how was your flight?” she asked as we settled into the bed. It was even harder to not doze off considering I had Christen in bed with me. I always slept better with her near me.

“Annoying” I said as she laughed. “No…Alex was so annoying the whole flight.”

“You were the one who wanted to fly with her…could’ve came with me.” She said as I rolled my eyes.

“I didn’t want to be here that early…” I groaned as she shook her head again. She had got here a few days early, but I didn’t want to fly here that early.

“I missed you.” She said softly as I placed a kiss on her forehead.

“I missed you too beautiful.” She leaned and kissed me. “Can we take a nap please? Aren’t you tired?”

She chuckled as she nodded her head slightly. She moved to get more comfortable as we fell asleep. I woke up a little while later to an empty bed. I frowned as I sat up. I checked my phone and saw I had a text from Christen saying that she had to make some phone calls, but she would see me later. I frowned at not getting to wake up to her. It was definitely one of my favorite things to do.

I heard a banging on the door as I stood and opened it. There stood Kelley and Ash with grins on their face.

“Baby Morgan” Ash said walking past me as I frowned.

“Come in” I said sarcastically. “If you’re looking for Alex, she’s not here.”

“I know. We came here for you.” Kelley said as I gave her a look already not liking whatever they had planned. “You’re coming out with us tonight”

“I’m not.” I said as I shook my head.

“You are!” Ash said with a grin. “We’ve been thinking and everyone on the team has been getting into relationships and we figured it must suck to watch Alex be happy with Servando, so we are going to find you a girlfriend…”

“What?” I asked with an incredulous look as they both grinned at me. “No”

“Yes…it’s going to be great! Get dressed. We leave in 20 minutes.” Kelley said as they left the room. I stood for a moment before shaking my head. I knew they would come back expecting me dressed so I made sure to at least look decent.

Sure enough…20 minutes they were back with giant grins on their faces. Ash wrapped an arm around me as she pulled me towards the elevators. I frowned wanting nothing more than to go back upstairs and find Christen. Gosh, she was going to be so mad. When the doors opened, they pulled me out into the lobby where some of our teammates were waiting for us.

I saw Christen standing there and I almost stumbled upon seeing her. She was wearing a dress that fit her in all the right places. I gulped as I took a second to check her out. No one seemed to notice though as everyone turned towards us. She smiled at me as I smiled back.

“Okay…Operation find baby Morgan a girlfriend is in effect…” Ash said as several people nodded. Christen immediately frowned as I scowled at the goalkeeper.

“Wait…operation what now?” Christen asked as I grimaced at the situation.

“We are finding (Y/N) a girlfriend…almost all of us are in relationships so it’s only fair we find someone for her or at least to share her bed with tonight.” I shot them all disgusted looks as a look of anger immediately crossed over Christen’s face.

“Does Alex know you’re trying to get her little sister laid?” Abby asked as Kelley shook her head.

“No and you better not tell her…” Ash said as I groaned. I was already praying someone would tell Alex.

“Please just let the record show…I did not consent to this.” I said as Kelley shook her head before dragging me towards the exit of the hotel with Ash and them in tow. I turned back to Christen who frowned as I mouthed ‘help’ to her.

I know what you’re thinking. Why not just tell them you’re dating Christen? Well, this team is super nosy, and we want to wait until things are a little more serious between us before we tell everyone that we are dating. No need to get the whole team involved if its not going to work out, but they might be forcing us to reveal our relationship right now. The fact that Alex wasn’t aware of this brought me a little comfort, because I don’t know how much longer they would be alive if she knew they were trying to get me laid. She’s super protective when it comes to that stuff.

After we got to the bar that we would be at for a few hours, I tried to convince them that it was not something I needed.

“I’m perfectly happy with my life right now.” I said which was the truth. “I don’t need this…”

“Shush…we are going to find you someone cute…” Kelley said as they all surveyed the room for a girl I could date. I looked down at my phone when it vibrated. It was a text from Christen asking me where I was. I texted her the address to the place we were at and hoped to god she would get there soon.

She had been too in shock and ultimately didn’t get into the car with us when we left. My anxiety was going through the roof though. I sat there for another fifteen minutes before I felt relief and fear wash over me at the same time. I could tell by the look on Kelley’s face that it was nothing but fear for her as Alex strode into the bar with a pissed off expression. She came right up to our table and almost everyone visibly shrunk away from the forward.

“Oh, thank god.” I mumbled as Ash and Kelley both gulped at the very livid girl in front of them.

“What the fuck?” Alex said looking between her two friends as I sat quietly watching everything unfold in front of me. She turned towards me with her eyes only softening a little. “Go to the car. Now.” I didn’t need to be told twice as I stood and exited the bar to the car. Allie was in the passenger seat as I got into the back. I felt myself relax completely as I waited for my sister to return.

Kelley POV Switch

“What the hell were you two thinking?” Alex said angrily as I tried to scramble for an answer while Ash just looked away. “That’s my little sister.”

“She’s a grown adult.” Ash said trying to defend us, but she immediately quieted down when Alex glared at her.

“I don’t give a shit…that’s my sister. That’s my family.”

“We didn’t think it would be that big of a deal.” I said as she glared at me. “I mean…we just wanted to find her someone who makes her as happy as Servando makes you…”

She crossed her arms still glaring at us. I think she was a little less mad now that she knew we only had good intentions. She sighed running her hand through her hair.

“You’re still out of line. It’s not your place to do that. If she finds someone, then it will be on her own. Not because you two idiots tried setting her up in a bar.” She then promptly turned around and walked out of the place.

I let out a breath that I didn’t know I had been holding as I looked at Ash who had an equally relieved expression on her face.

“I think that’s enough for tonight.” Ali said as she stood up with us following behind her. “Though, I was right, and this did blow up in your face.”

“Shut it…” Ash said rolling her eyes.

“She’s so scary…” Sonnett said as I nodded my head. “Like, I knew she could be intimidating, but I don’t think I have ever felt real fear like that…”

“It’s because you messed with her family.” Tobin said. “She’s protective like that…especially over (Y/N).”  

“Yeah I mean same…but I don’t think I have ever seen anyone so close to committing murder like she was tonight.” Lindsay said as we all got in our cars and headed back to the hotel.

“Well, tonight was a bust…” I said as Ash nodded her head.

“I still don’t think it was that big of a deal…” she said as Ali shook her head.

“I wonder who tipped off Alex…” I said curiously as Ash nodded her head. I turned my head when Pinoe approached us with a smile.

“I heard Alex almost killed you guys tonight…” she said with an amused smile.

“She didn’t almost kill us.” I said as Ali shook her head. Pinoe chuckled as I rolled my eyes. “Do you know who told her what we were doing tonight?”

“Christen.” Pinoe responded. “I was there when Christen told her. She came in and said that you two had taken (Y/N) to a bar and that you were trying to get her laid.”

“Why would Christen tell?” Ash asked with confusion.

“I mean…to be fair she didn’t seem to be pleased with what you guys were doing when we left.” Sonnett said as I nodded my head.

“I don’t know, but Alex’s whole demeanor changed upon hearing that. I mean…I’ve never seen her so mad.” Pinoe said as I grimaced remembering how mad she was at the bar.

“Maybe…you should apologize to (Y/N)” Ali said as I nodded my head.

“Yeah we probably should. Do you know where she is?” I asked Pinoe knowing she was probably around when they all returned to the hotel.

“Yeah, on the roof.” Pinoe said as she stood with us following after her. “She told Alex she needed some air when they got back.”

We took the elevator too the roof. Once we got up there, we were going to call out for (Y/N) when we heard voices indicating she wasn’t alone. Ash motioned for everyone to be quiet as we peeked around the corner to see (Y/N) talking to Christen.

“I mean…she looked like she could have killed someone.” (Y/N) said with a grin as Christen shook her head.

“Should I be concerned that you were excited to see that?”

“No, I just think it was funny…” Christen rolled her eyes as she smiled at (Y/N). There was something in the way she looked at her that I couldn’t quite place.

“Well, I am glad she got there in time…I don’t know what I would have done if they had actually found someone…”

“I would have died. That’s what would have happened. Though, I do wonder who I should be thanking for saving me tonight?” (Y/N) asked as Christen smiled at her again.

“I think I could direct you…” She responded taking a step closer to the other girl.

My eyes practically came out of my head when they leaned into each other to kiss. Christen wrapped her arms around (Y/N)’s neck as the other girls’ hands found Christen’s waist. My jaw dropped as Ash immediately turned and pulled all of us with her. We got back into the elevator as we stood in silence.

“So, who’s telling Alex?” Sonnett asked as we all looked around at each other.

“I am.” Ash said with an irritated look on her face. “I mean…Christen literally got us in trouble with her when she has been dating (Y/N) for who knows how long…”

“I don’t think that’s a good idea. Like, I completely get that you’re mad right now, but your basically outing them.”

“It’s not like I am outing them as gay…everyone already knows that.” Ash said as I shrugged my shoulders. She was right but also…

We got off on the floor where our rooms were as we found our way to Alex’s room. Ash banged on the door as Alex opened the door with a glare on her face. We entered the room as the forward sat on the bed.

“What do you want?” she asked as Allie and Tobin laughed. Mal and Rose were sitting on (Y/N)’s bed watching all of us. Sonnett sat next to them as Ali shook her head taking a seat too. Pinoe leaned against the wall cautiously waiting for Ash to speak.

“I know you’re still mad at us, but we just found something out and you’re not going to be happy about it.” Ash said as Alex raised an eyebrow at us.

“Okay…” she said waiting for Ash to continue. Ash then looked like she was nervous to say anything.

“(Y/N) and Christen are dating. Or hooking up. One of the two.” I said as everyone’s eyes widened.

“Wait…what?” Tobin asked as gave us crazy looks. Allie seemed to be thinking about it as everyone who hadn’t previously knew stared at us in shock.

“Are you sure?” Alex asked with a frown.

“Yeah…we just saw them kissing.” Ash said giving Alex an expectant look. Clearly, she was waiting for Alex to fly off the handle again.

“Hmmmm….okay.” Alex said as she stared at us. The look on Ash’s face would have been comical if I wasn’t extremely confused.

“Wait…that’s it. You’re not going to flip shit like you did with us. Christen is dating or hooking up with your little sister. Your family.” Ash threw her arms in the air as we heard the door open. I turned to see (Y/N) and Christen walk in both smiling. The smile fell from their faces as they saw us standing there.

“Well…no one told us there was a party going on.” (Y/N) said giving us an awkward smile.

“You’re busted!” Ash said as they both gave us confused looks.

“Busted for what?” Christen asked confusion on her face.

“We know you’re dating.” Pinoe said as they both had shocked faces. “I mean…you can try to deny it but we did see you guys kissing like maybe ten minutes ago.”

“You were spying on us?” Christen asked angrily.

“We were going to apologize to you, but instead we found you guys doing that.” Sonnett said as they both nodded.

“So, how does that explain you guys being here?”

“They told Alex.” Ali said as (Y/N) got an offended look on her face.

“You find out I am dating Christen and your first move is to rat me out to my sister!”

“Yes!” Ash said as I watched them glare at each other. “Only because Christen ratted us out first.”

“You were trying to set my girlfriend up with someone else…” Christen said with an exasperated look on her face.

“So, you are dating!” Ash said looking back at Alex. “Yell at them!”

“She’s not going to yell at us.” (Y/N) said rolling her eyes.

“Why not?” I asked raising my eyebrow at them.

“Because she already knew!” Christen said as all of us immediately looked at Alex who just had an amused look on her face watching all of us.

“You knew?” I said as the forward nodded her head.

“Obviously…” (Y/N) groaned grabbing Christen’s hand pulling her further into the room and motioning for those on her bed to move. They mostly abided letting Christen and her sit down. “Why wouldn’t she know? She’s my sister.”

“How long have you known?” Rose asked as Alex shrugged her shoulders.

“I don’t know…like a month after they started dating.” She said as I turned towards the couple.

“How long have you guys been together?”

“8 months?” (Y/N) looked to Christen who nodded her head.

“I can’t believe this…” Ash mumbled. “I am so over this and you people. I am going to bed.”

Mostly everyone shuffled out of the room as Alex went back to talking to Allie and Tobin. Christen and (Y/N) laid down together and seemed to be in their own little world. I took a moment to remember what Alex had said earlier about if (Y/N) had found someone on her own. I watched Alex for a moment as she looked over at Christen and (Y/N) with a soft look. She was truly happy for them. I said a quick goodnight to everyone as I exited the room. This night has been to crazy and I need to sleep it off.

The End.

Not Going Well - Krashlyn Imagine

A/N: This is a sequel to Following Footsteps

(Y/N) POV:

I bit my lip as I waited for the bus to come to a full stop. This was it. My first camp with the U-17 squad. I had already got a plethora of tips and advice from my parents and aunts. The dos and don’ts of how to stand out to the coaching staff. I was terrified if I am being honest. I want to be able to prove myself without everyone being dicks to me about the fact that my parents are on the national team.

“Ready to go?” Marc asked me as I nodded my head. I stood up and walked into the hotel with him. I was a few days late to camp due to prior things I had to do with my parents and because they are on the national team, I was given an exception, so I was already off to a bad start.

He told me what room I would be in and gave me a keycard as I headed up to go get settled. There was supposed to be a team meeting in about half an hour so that was just enough time to get up there and get my stuff put down. I think I had enough time to call my parents to let them know I got in safe.

I got to my room and opened the door. I could hear some chatter as I entered the room. There were two girls sitting there as I smiled. I walked over to the empty bed and sat my stuff down. They were both staring at me before looking at each other. I decided maybe I would have to make the first move here.

“Hey” I said nervously as they both stared me down for a moment. I stood there awkwardly before one of them smiled.

“Hey!” she said holding out her hand to me. “I’m Mia and this is Samantha.”

“I’m (Y/N)” I said as the girl I identified as Samantha snickered a little.

“Yeah we know.” She said sarcastically as I nodded my head. “Who doesn’t know the daughter of Ashlyn Harris and Ali Krieger?”

“That’s fair.” I said as she rolled her eyes.

“I’ll catch you later Mia.” She said standing up and leaving the room. Mia gave me a small smile as we stood there for a moment.

“Is the whole team going to be like that?” I asked as she gave me a sad smile. She nodded her head as I sighed. I was already hating this.

“I just think…there are a lot of questions about how you got here.” She said carefully as I nodded my head.

“I understand that.” I said as I moved to put some of my stuff in a order that would make sense to me.

“Look…all I can say is you have to try to ignore them. They are going to think what they want. So, you just got to go out there and prove you deserve to be here.” She said as I nodded my head.

“I know.”

I decided that I would wait to call my parents as Mia, and I headed down to the team meeting. When we walked in, I recognized Samantha with a couple other girls as Mia went to sit by them.

“(Y/N) come here.” Marc said as I walked over to him. I stood by him as he turned towards the group of girls. “Okay everyone listen up. This is (Y/N) Harris. She is a little late to camp due to prior commitments, but I expect you to make her feel welcomed.”

I stood there awkwardly before he finally let me sit. I sat by myself as we went through the team meeting. I could feel everyone staring at me as I tried to stay focused. I was mentally going through everything the team had told me about staying focused so that I didn’t embarrass myself more than I already had.

After the meeting, most of the girls seemed to go off on their own leaving me by myself. I had gone back to my room and called my parents to let them know I was there safe and sound.

“My baby!” my ma yelled as I smiled at hearing her voice.

“Hey ma.” I said softly as I heard a soft uh oh from the other side of the phone.

“What’s wrong?” my mom asked as I sighed.

“This doesn’t really feel like its going well.” I said honestly.

“It’s been less than a day.” She said as I nodded my head.

“Yeah, but I feel like they all only think I am here because of you guys.” I said as I heard them sigh.

The next few minutes were spent with them giving me some encouraging words. They were doing their best to keep my spirits high, but I just wasn’t having a good time. Eventually, they had to leave for practice of their own as I laid in my head deciding what to do. This was going to be a long camp.

The next few days were odd to say the least. Mia had decided to stay near me because I looked like I needed friend. I had definitely been proving myself in practice so some of the girls seemed like they were coming around to me, but some of the girls – aka Samantha—had continued to be a dick to me. Since I was hanging around Mia, it meant I had to be around Samantha. So, its more of a win-lose situation.

Currently, I was heading towards the lobby for a special team meeting with Mia, Sam, and this other girl Natalia. No one knew what the meeting was for. Just that it was mandatory.

“What do you think (Y/N)?” Mia asked me as I looked at her.

“I don’t know. I mean…this could be for literally anything.” I said as they all nodded. We continued walking as I opened the door for everyone. I went to walk in until I bumped into Sam. She had stopped and her jaw had dropped open. I frowned looking past her.

My own jaw dropped as I spotted Alex, Kelley, Christen, ma, and mom. I bit my lip trying to hide my excitement as Kelley was the first to spot me. She broke into a full on run as I braced myself when she wrapped her arms around me.

“Munchkin!” she said holding me tight to her.

“Kelley I can’t breathe.” I said as she let me go. I smiled at her as I turned to see Ma coming over. I jumped slightly falling into her arms. After the rough time I have had, I am so relieved to have them here.

“Ma.” I mumbled into her shoulder as she held me close to her. I felt another person join our hug as I immediately recognized my mom, “Mom.”

“Hey baby” she said softly as I looked at them with tears in my eyes. We stood there for a few moments before I realized mostly everyone was staring.

“I need to take a seat.” I mumbled as they laughed a little. I went and sat next to Mia. She had a smile on her face as I tried to contain my excitement. Sam hasn’t stopped staring at Alex and Christen so I think she might be a little star struck. She is a forward after all.

The meeting was basically to inform us that they would be at our final few practices to help evaluate the team and stuff. This definitely was not a coincidence, but I wasn’t going to complain. Once the meeting was over, some of the girls were just staring excitingly at my family.  

“You’re so tough. You go say hi.” Natalia said to Sam who shook her head.

“No. It’s THE Alex Morgan and THE Christen Press. You go say Hi.” She snapped as I chuckled slightly. I bit my lip deciding to have some fun. I stood up and went closer to Alex jumping slightly on her as she groaned catching me in her arms.

“Hey” I said as the forward smiled at me. Christen had her arms crossed as she was giving me an amused look.

“Hi” Alex said dropping me on the ground but keeping her arms around me. “I won’t lie. I missed you little one.”

“How could you not?” I said smugly as she jokingly pushed me away. I laughed as I turned back towards the girls who were watching in awe. “You should come meet my friends.”

“Lead the way.” Christen said as I walked towards the other girls as Sam and Mia and them had wide eyes.

“Guys meet Alex Morgan and Christen Press.” I said smiling as they all gave them excited smiles. We spent a few minutes talking as I let them talk. I felt arms wrap around my neck as I glanced up to my mom. She gave me a soft smile.

“I missed you my love.” She said softly.

“I missed you too mom.” I said as she grinned at me. The rest of the day was spent with my family and the girls. Most of them were definitely being nicer to me and I was interested to know if that would continue after this. I guess time would only tell.

The End.

Loving Her: Alex Morgan - Chapter 1

Chapter 1: Welcome to the Roster

Alex POV:

I climbed out my car as I headed towards the front door of Ash and Ali’s place. I walked in without knocking and headed towards the kitchen where I saw them sitting with some of the other pride girls. I gave them all a smile as I placed my bag down and sat down in the chair. I glanced at my phone and then looked up at them.

“How is the planning going?” I asked looking to Ali who was organizing stuff for Syd’s baby shower. She grinned at me moving some stuff around the table.

“It is going so well. I am pretty much done.” She said looking around at everything and putting her hands together. Ashlyn gave her a smile while she played with Logan.

“Why do you look so down?” she asked looking to me. I shrugged my shoulders as I looked at some of the stuff that Ali had laid out on the table.

“Oh, by the way, Kelley said to tell you that (Y/N) made the roster. She found out a few days ago.” Ashlyn said. I did my best not to react, but I couldn’t hide the smile that crossed my face at the mention of (Y/N). “Yeah I thought that would brighten your day a little”

“I don’t care. I think it’s great that she made the roster. She’s incredibly talented and we need her on the team.” I said glaring at Ash.

“Alex” Ali said giving me a knowing look as Dani, Alanna, and some of the other girls laughed. I shook my head but continued smiling as I typed out a congratulations to (Y/N). So, maybe I did have a little crush on my fellow forward. It was tiny and it really didn’t matter that much.

“More like you need her to..”

“Ash!” Ali said giving her a look as Ash just smiled. By this point, Alanna was practically on the ground laughing. I shook my head as I leaned back in my seat. “You do know it’s okay to say you like her, right?”

“I don’t like her like that.” I said which caused me to get looks from everyone in the room. I sighed and put my head in my hands. “Okay so maybe I have a small crush.”

“A small crush?” Alanna asked crossing her arms at me. “I’ve seen you two interact. It’s more like an old married couple.”

“The only people who don’t know you guys like each other is you guys.” Ash said as she looked at her phone and then looked at me. She gave me a small smile. “I don’t understand why one of you just doesn’t ask the other out.”

“It’s not that easy. How can you even be sure that she would like me like that?”

“Besides the fact that she follows you around like a lost puppy? She looks at you the same way I look at Ali or the way Pinoe looks at Sue, Julie and Zach, Christen and Tobin. She looks at you like you put the goddamn stars in the sky. It’s okay to like her. No one is going to judge you for liking her. She’s hot and she wants to be around you. What more could you ask for?”

“She also told Christen, Becky, and Julie that she has a huge crush on you.” Ali said shrugging her shoulders as she gave me a smile. I stared at her with shock on my face.

“And you all just forgot to tell me?” I said looking around at all of them. Ali gave me a somewhat guilty look while Ash just shrugged her shoulders.

“You all have so much drama on your team….its amazing that you find time to train.” Alanna said as she snacked on some chips.

“All families fight.” Ash said shrugging her shoulders. I nodded my head as I started thinking about all this new information that I have gotten from them. The fact that it isn’t even a maybe that (Y/N) likes me anymore has given me a lot to think about. I felt a little giddy at the idea that she liked me back, but I had a lot to think about before I made any decisions.

(Y/N) POV Switch

I groaned as the banging on my door continued. I stood up from where I was laying on the couch and opened the door to see Christen and Kelley both grinning at me. I groaned and turned back walking towards my couch.

“You know for someone who just made their first World Cup roster you are such a downer” Kelley said as she came in and dropped into one of my living room chairs. I mocked her a little before finding the comfortable spot on my couch again.

“I’m tired.” I mumbled snuggling into my pillow. Christen chuckled as she set down the coffee, she had brought me onto the table next to me. “I don’t like morning workouts. I like sleep.”

“If you want to be the best, you got to train like the best.” Kelley said giving me a smile.

“Okay Carli”

“Do not even.” Kelley said mocking offense. “I am nowhere near the level that is Carli Lloyd.”

“I don’t think there is anyone quite like Carli” Christen said with a slight chuckle. “Aren’t you happy you made the roster?”

“Yeah, I am happy. I sort of knew like two months ago that I was pretty much going.” I said sitting up and picking up the coffee and taking a sip. “God that’s delicious.”

“What do you mean you knew months ago?” Kelley asked giving me an annoyed look.

“Kelley, I’ve started almost every game since like the beginning of last year.” I said shrugging my shoulders. “Not to be arrogant, but I think I have a solid starting spot.”

“Must be nice” Christen said as I turned to her giving her a small pout.

“Sorry” she shook her head at me as I looked to my phone seeing a congratulations text from Alex. I smiled at it and sent her back a thank you.

“Is that Alex?” Kelley asked giving me a teasing smile. I shook my head as I turned towards the defender. “I told Ash to tell her you made the roster. Though, I was wondering why you didn’t just tell her considering you guys talk all the time...”

“She isn’t going to care if I make the roster” I mumbled causing both girls to scoff at me.

“Okay that’s bullshit considering that you guys are like in love with each other.” Kelley said giving me a look. I scrunched up my face at her and turned towards christen who shrugged her shoulders.

“She is not in love with me.” I said rolling my eyes at her statement.

“But you’re in love with her?” Christen asked though it sounded more like she was stating a fact.

“Maybe…I don’t know. I have had a long time to come to terms with my feelings for her and come to terms with the fact that she would never feel the same.”

“Wait…hang on I was just messing around about the crush, but like you’re genuinely in love with her?” Kelley said with shock all over her face. I gave her a look with disbelief as Christen let out a laugh.

“How could I not be?” I threw my hands up in the air. “Have you met her? She’s perfect. She’s extremely talented and funny and beautiful. Oh my god she is so beautiful. One of the most caring people I have ever met.”

“Oh, you have it bad…” Christen gave me a sympathetic look. “Why don’t you just talk to her about it?”

“Not an option. I like the friendship I have with her and I don’t want to ruin that.”

“You guys act like a couple without all the fun stuff. Like, being around each other and being overly affectionate. You talk all the time. Don’t think I don’t know that she’s the one you facetime after games. The only thing you don’t do is kiss…and you know the other fun stuff.”

I blushed at the thought of kissing Alex. This was the problem being anywhere near Alex usually got me flustered. I couldn’t help the fact that my heart sped up every time we were near each other. I got lost in my thoughts thinking about what it would be like to kiss her when a pillow hit my head. I looked up at Kelley who had a giant smile on her face.

“You’re thinking about it, now right?” I shook my head as I stood up and headed towards my kitchen looking for a snack. I grabbed some lifesaver gummies that I got from the movies before coming back into the room. “I don’t get it. You like her and here we are telling you that she is just as into you…”

“Kelley, I’ve done this before. I’ve done the back and forth with someone I care deeply for before. I ended up with my heart broken. It sucked and I don’t want to do it again. I am going to just jump head first if I have no reassurance that she’s going to feel the same.”

“She likes you. The only people who don’t know about how you guys feel are you guys” Christen said as I shook my head.

“She doesn’t. Last time I checked; she was straight.” I said giving them both looks. “Are you guys forgetting that she used to have a whole ass husband? Why would I put myself through the pain of trying to date a straight girl?”

“People can be Bisexual (Y/N)!” Kelley said as I turned towards her giving her an annoyed look. “I mean everyone is a little gay these days! It just happens that Alex is a little gay for you…”

I sighed in frustration running my hands over my face. I was over this whole conversation. I didn’t want to be given hope that she would feel the same for me, but the thought was nice. The idea that she could ever feel anything more than friendly feelings for me was intoxicating in itself.

“Look, this is what I know, you came on to this team at the worst time of Alex’s life. It genuinely felt like nobody could get through to her. I mean I’m not entirely sure how you’re supposed to react when you lose the Olympics and then find out that your husband is cheating right after you moved your entire life for him, but you know what? You did. You got through to her. It wasn’t me or Tobin or Allie or any of us that was able to bring the smile back to her face. It wasn’t us who motivated her to keep going. I know you don’t believe it because it seems like some faraway dream, but you are perfect for her. You are what she needs.” I felt my eyes well up as I shook my head trying to shake off the emotions.

“Stop…you’re going to make me cry” I said running my fingers through my hair. “I was there for her because I cared, not because I had any ulterior motive.”

“Which is exactly why you’re perfect for her. You don’t pay attention to US Soccer Star Alex Morgan. You pay attention to Alex.” Christen said as she gave me a soft smile. I nodded my head at the statement because it was true. I have never cared for her image or how famous she is. I only care about her.

“Can we just drop this for now? I need to think” I said as both girls nodded. “Also, nice speech Kel, really got me in my feels”

“No problem. I can be sensitive. Just know that if you were to go for it, literally the entire team wants you to be together so…”

I nodded my head with a slight laugh. “Good to know”

“Have you started packing yet?” Christen asked as she adjusted her sitting position.

“Nope” I replied chuckling when Kelley also shook her head. She gave both of us looks which caused us to shrug our shoulders.

“Are you going to start anytime soon?”

“Probably not. I’ll probably wait until the day before I leave. I pack best when I am stressed out about it.”

“Psychopath…” she mumbled as I grinned at the forward.

“When does the roster get announced? Do we have a date for that?”

“Becky said that they were going to release it on May 1st. That’s in like a week. We have to be in camp in like 3 days though.”

“I have to keep this secret for a week!” Kelley joked as I laughed.

“Camp should be fun. So, do we know who didn’t make the roster?”

“McCall. Casey. Moe didn’t, but I don’t know if she was really in contention. Ali made the roster which is amazing. Sonnett and all of them made roster as well which is great.”

“Yeah no I knew about Sonnett and them. Tierna made the roster which made me really happy.” I said as I finished my coffee.

“Yeah that was a really good choice in my opinion.” Kelley said as I nodded my head.

“It’s going to be interesting…” Christen said as I nodded my head. 

I was thinking about the roster which made me think about cam which soon brought back thoughts about Alex. Hearing from them that they were sure that Alex felt the same made me feel a little giddy. I want to be with her, and I wouldn’t mind making the first move, but I don’t want to make the first move without knowing that she feels the same as me. I have a lot to think about.

To be Continued…

A/N: She is here y’all! I finally decided to write the story. I don’t know when the next update will be, but I am going to be working on it!

Sick of This - USWNT Imagine

(Y/N) POV:

“This is bullshit.” I mumbled letting out another cough. I groaned trying to take a breath but remaining unsuccessful.

“No, what’s bullshit are all the side effects of this cold medicine.” Pinoe mumbled as she and Ash were both reading the back of the box. I rolled my eyes as I tried to sit up but was immediately pushed back down Alex.

“Lay down.” She scolded as I frowned at her. “You’re not well.”

“I found a thermometer.” Tobin said grinning as she walked into the room with Kelley and Allie trailing behind her. “On an unrelated note, the medical staff will be missing one in a few hours.”

“I don’t care. Give it.” Christen said coming towards me. She tried to take my temperature but was unable to due to my pushing her away. “Stop. Let me take your temperature.”

“No” I groaned as I tried to move away again but was scolded by everyone in the room.

“Let her take your temperature.” JJ scolded as I shot her a look.

“Let me sit up first.” I said glaring at everyone. Christen moved to take it again when I pulled away.

“Fine. Sit up.” Kelley said knowing I wasn’t going to comply unless they let me move around a little.

I sat up feeling a little better and allowed Christen to take my temperature. She frowned putting the back of her hand against my forehead. The thermometer beeped and she looked at it with her frown deepening.

“Its 102” she said looking around at everyone who immediately adopted worried looks of their own. I rolled my eyes feeling irritation over all of them being so worried.

“Big deal. I can just take some medicine and then I’ll be fine.”

“Maybe we should take her to the hospital.” Alex said ignoring me as I turned to her with an irritated look.

“No, that’s a horrible idea.” I said as she turned to me with a doubtful look on her face.

“Maybe…let’s give her some medicine now and then we will check again later.” Ash said as I rolled my eyes again.

“I can speak for myself.” I mumbled earning more glares from everyone in the room. I then frowned when my stomach felt like it was flipping. I shot out of the bed and into the bathroom releasing the contents of my stomach into the toilet. I leaned against it feeling someone behind me rubbing my back. I turned to see JJ giving me a small smile. I washed my mouth out and then walked back into the room. I wiped my nose before climbing back into the bed.

“This medicine has a lot of side effects.” Pinoe said holding up the box as Christen took it reading the side effects out loud.

“Dizziness, drowsiness, headache, nausea, nervousness, or trouble sleeping may occur. If any of these effects persist or worsen, contact your doctor or pharmacist promptly.”

“Yeah I’ll take my chances” I said reaching for the box only for her to slap my hand away. “You can’t be serious.”

“These are dangerous side effects.” She argued giving me a look. I stared at her in disbelief.

“You’re not going to vaccinate your kids either are you?” I said getting a death glare from her as I quickly snatched the box from her. I opened it and took some out before popping them in my mouth. I accepted the glass of water from Tobin and swallowed them down. “See…I’ll be better in no time.”

“I am going to vaccinate my kids for the record.” She said as I smiled at her.

“I know.” I mumbled leaning back on the bed. Everyone in the room then moved to make themselves comfortable as they all started talking amongst themselves. I tried to participate, but it wasn’t long before I found myself drifting to sleep.

Ash POV Switch

We all watched as (Y/N) fell into a deep sleep. She had been fighting sleep for the last 15 minutes which had been quite amusing. I know I wasn’t the only one relieved when she finally relaxed into her bed.

“Finally, she’s down.” JJ mumbled as we all nodded our heads in agreement.

“Say what you want….she is one stubborn cookie.” Pinoe said as I nodded my head.

“Is that not the thing we love about her the most…?” Kelley said smiling softly in the direction of (Y/N).

“It’s nice on the field. Not so much when we are trying to get her to relax.” Alex said rubbing her fingers over (Y/N)’s hair. I watched as the younger midfielder nudged Alex’s hand a little in her sleep. This only caused the forwards smile to soften.

“She’s our kid.” I said as they all nodded their heads. “No matter what we are going to fuss over her, and she will hate every moment of it.”

“I don’t give a damn.” Christen mumbled earning surprised looks from everyone. “What? She’s our baby. I don’t care what she says. I would do anything for this kid.”

“Amen to that sister.” Pinoe said earning a few laughs from everyone.

“God help anyone who breaks her heart.” JJ said as we all smiled watching her sleep.

“God help anyone who dates her…” I said getting a few nods around the room.

“I’ll kill anyone who hurts her.” Kelley said with a serious look on her face.

“I’m glad we can all agree on that” Alex said not taking her eyes from (Y/N). We all continued watching her sleep as we made our small talk about everything from games to current events.

“I’m going on a lunch run.” Pinoe said standing up. “Anyone want to go with?”

“I’ll go. Text us what you want.” Kelley said standing up and following Pinoe out the door.

“Okay.” We all said continuing our respective conversations.

(Y/N) POV Switch

I woke up feeling incredibly drowsy. I let out a cough and tried to sit up. I closed my eyes feeling a low pounding in my head. I felt an arm around my back to help me with support. I turned to see JJ giving me a small smile. I smiled in return letting myself rest against the defender turned midfielder.

“Hi” I mumbled as she let out a low chuckle.

“Hello.” She said as I closed my eyes. I could hear movement around the room before someone was taking my temperature again. “No…”

“Just let it happen.” I heard christen say as the device beeped. It was pulled away as she read it out loud. “101.2. Okay it’s down a little.”

“Do you want to try to eat something?” Alex asked me softly as I opened my eyes to look at the forward. I nodded my head slightly before a bowl of soup was passed to me. I frowned a little not sure how long it had been sitting there. I held it in my hands and noticed it was still warm. I opened the lid before the soup was taken from me. I turned to see Kelley opening my silverware. She dipped the spoon in the soup and held it to my lips. I frowned before accepting the soup.

“I can feed myself.” I complained getting smiles from everyone in the room.

“It’s better this way.” She argued as she gave me another bite. I ended up eating half of the bowl before I didn’t want anymore.

“I’m sick of this.” I groaned as I let out another cough. “I hate being sick and I hate being babied.”

“We know.” Christen said though she said it more condescending as I stared at her with a blank face. “You should rest.”

“You should rest.” I mocked as I let myself lean against JJ again. The midfielder accepted it and slowly laid me back down on the bed. I felt my eyelids get heavier as I drifted back to sleep. I don’t know how long I was asleep, but I was definitely feeling better when I woke up again. I surveyed the room and for the most part everyone was still there.

Alex was sitting in the bed next to me watching something on the tv. I had my head rested on her thigh as I was hugging her whole leg. Christen was on the other side of me reading a book. Tobin and Kelley were both at the end of the bed playing cards with Pinoe who had pulled a chair up. Ash was talking with Ali, Allie, Crystal, and JJ over on the other bed. I laid there for a moment before pushing myself up and stretching slightly. I felt a hand on my back as I turned towards Christen who gave me a look of concern.

“Let me take your temp.” she said as I let her take my temperature. She seemed grateful as we waited for the device to beep. “98.7”

There were a few relieved smiles around the room as I continued stretching out my back. I leaned back against the headboard resting my head against Alex’s shoulder. I pulled the covers closer to me and crossed my arms watching the tv. I ignored all the smiles across the room feeling tired still.

“Go away.” I mumbled as they all grinned at me. I shook my head as Christen then leaned against me giving me cuddles. I groaned but allowed myself to be cuddled by the forward. This caused everyone to let out small chuckles as I sent glares to everyone around the room.

“Let us know if her fever changes.” Crystal said as she and JJ both exited the room. There were nods from everyone as Ash, Pinoe, and Ali then left right behind them. Tobin and Kelley moved to the other bed with Allie and started talking while continuing their card game. I let myself be cuddled by the two forwards that were left on my bed. I would never say it, but I was grateful for their care that they had given me. I wasn’t going to tell them though because they would never let me live it down. Though, I think they knew I appreciated it.

The End.

Get In Goal - USWNT Imagine

(Y/N) POV:

“This is like my actual nightmare.” Rose said as I looked at her. We were in the middle of a game right now. The Concacaf World Cup Qualifier Final to be exact. It’s about the 67th minute and all three of our substitutes have been used.

Alyssa is currently down on the ground after colliding with Christine Sinclair. We are all in a little huddle standing off to the side as we wait to hear the verdict on whether or not she can continue. I am so praying that she can because I don’t know who is supposed to go in goal in this kind of situation.

“She’s going to be fine right?” Sam asked as Becky gave us a look while looking over at Alyssa with concern. I frowned when the medical staff indicated that she wasn’t going to be able to continue.

“Who’s supposed to go in goal?” Crystal asked as we all looked at each other.

“I can.” I said as everyone looked to me. I knew no one else was going to volunteer so might as well right…

“Do you actually know how to be a goalkeeper?”

“Ash taught me some stuff when we were younger, just don’t let the ball go into the net right?” I shrugged like it wasn’t a big deal even though it was in fact a huge deal.

“Well, if no one is going to volunteer the it’s all yours.” Becky said as I nodded. I ran off to the sideline and started talking with the staff and refs. They immediately scrambled to find a jersey for me to wear.

Ash immediately came to my side and started giving me pointers.

“Okay, I’ve seen how fast you get up so don’t dive unless you need to. Try to make yourself as big as you can. Trust your defenders. They will do everything they can to stop anything from happening, but you got to trust them. Okay. Get in goal. You got this.” I nodded my head to everything she was saying as they came back with a backup jersey. I pulled it on and put the gloves on before running back on the field and getting into goal.

I did a goal kick sending it up field. We were leading the game 1-0, but anything can happen. It was about the 75th minute when Canada was on the attack. Using all the knowledge I have on these players; I was able to read what they were doing. I dove to the right just as Jessie Fleming took a shot. I saved the ball and laid there for a second before standing up.

I made a few more saves with the help of my defenders. The horrifying moment came in the 87th minute when Abby fouled Christine Sinclair which got Canada a penalty. I stood there for a moment as Becky gave me some words of encouragement. I nodded my head listening to her as I got on the line. The ref came over and spoke to me for a minute about staying on my line. I swear there was some pity in her eyes as she was talking to me.

Some of the Canadian players had smiles on their faces, this only pissed me off. Christine stepped up as the ref blew her whistle. I remember what Ash always told me about penalties. Pick a side and don’t drop the ball. Christine did her run up as I dove to the left. I closed my eyes as I hit the ground. I felt the ball in my hands as I rolled on top of it and then stood up. I took a breath when Alex, Pinoe, Kelley, and Crystal all jumped on me.

“Holy shit!” Kelley said as I stumbled a little. I had the ball securely in my arms as I motioned for them go.

“Go! I don’t want to get in trouble for having this ball for too long.” I said as they all immediately ran up field. I waited a moment before I kicked the ball up and watched as JJ headed it into the path of Pinoe who ran onto it. She dribbled past one of the Canadian defenders as she crossed the ball to Alex who sent the ball into the back of the net.

I jumped up and down as they celebrated. We were up 2-0 after I saved a penalty from Christine Sinclair. I can’t believe I did that. I saved a penalty from THE Christine Sinclair. A few more minutes passed by before the final whistle blew. I took a breath when everyone ran towards me. Becky was the first to get to me before everyone crashed into us.

“Did that just happen?” Crystal asked as I nodded my head. I was exhausted. I don’t know how they do this.

“You saved a penalty.” Pinoe said taking my face in her hands. “From Christine Sinclair at that!!!”

“I know” I said with a giant grin.

Before I could react any further, I was picked up by Ash as they all started celebrating. I grinned as my little accomplishment really set in. As soon as everyone started dispersing to go about their time, I started shaking the hands of the Canadians.

“That was a good save.” Christine said as I was next to her. I shook her hand and nodded my head.

“It was a good shot…my life flashed before my eyes a little bit…” I said as she laughed. I continued walking around, but then got pulled off to the side for an interview. The interviewer seemed shook asking me about the save. I reassured her that we were both shook over it.

“Careful” Christen said walking next to me. “Jill might put you in goal more often…”

“I might off myself if that happens…” I said as the forward grinned at me. “If this has shown me anything, it is that I really like my position as a field player. I can’t be a goalkeeper.”

“It’s harder than it looks right?” Ash said coming up alongside of me as I shook my head.

“I was just really afraid to get hit in the face…I can’t mess it up. How else will I get Christen to blush when I flirt with her? It’s all in the face.” I said as Christen rolled her eyes, but as I guessed there was a reddish tint to her cheeks.

“Shut up.” She said as I grinned at her. Ash rolled her eyes as we made our way into the locker room. I sat Alyssa as I approached her. She looked disappointed probably from having to leave the game.

“I don’t want your job. You can keep it.” I said as she shot me a small smile.

“I heard you killed it.” She said as I shrugged.

“I don’t know about that. I just didn’t want to die.” I said causing her to laugh.

“Well, I am proud of you.” She said as I smiled at her

“Thanks.” I said as we continued talking about the intricacies of goalkeeping and why I am not made for it. I took one for the team today, but never again. I’ll die before I get in goal again.

The End.

Disappointing - Krashlyn Imagine

(Y/N) POV:

“Are you nervous?” I looked towards Lieke as I sat on the bus on the way to the stadium. I shrugged my shoulders as I thought about whether or not I was nervous.

“I mean…I feel like I am…but like the normal amount?” I said as she nodded her head. “I mean…it’s the World Cup final. How can you not be nervous?”

“Yeah but I think it’s a little different for you…not all of us are playing against our parents.” I nodded my head at her statement. It is a true statement. Not everyone is in my situation. How many people can say they are about to play against their parents in the biggest game of their life?

Up until the age of 12, I was living in an orphanage in the Netherlands. Then, the US Women’s National Team played a game in Amsterdam. I caught the eyes of my parents who had as they put it ‘fallen in love’ with me. They adopted me and have raised me as theirs ever since. When I was 17, I got a call up to the Netherlands National Team and have played professionally since. Its only been 2 years, but I don’t know what I would do not being on this team.

I think playing soccer is what most drew my parents to me. It has been a dream being with them because I really couldn’t ask for a better family than them.

“Alright, we are here.” Danielle said as I glanced out the window and saw that we had indeed pulled up into the stadium.

“Here we go” Viv gave me a grin as we all stood and headed off the bus. We made our way to our own locker room. I glanced at my phone and saw I had a good luck message from some of the American girls.

I was pretty close with their whole team given the fact that both of my parents were on the team. We had joked with each other about ending up in the Final together, but I don’t think we actually thought it would happen or they didn’t think it would happen.

After a few minutes of getting settled, most of us changed to get ready for warmups. I had already been told I would be starting the game, so I was pretty stoked. I walked out of the locker room with Viv and Jackie as we headed towards the field to start warmups.

We were almost outside of the tunnel until I felt a body crash into mine. I was in a tight hug as I stumbled slightly and let out a loud grunt.

“Jesus Ash, are you trying to kill her?” I heard Pinoe asked as let myself relax into my moms arms.

“Please don’t. We kind of need her.” Jackie commented with slight panic in her eyes as she stared at us.

“Are you ready?” my ma asked me as she released me from the hug. I turned to stare at her as I nodded my head. “Good. I want you to play well…”

“But not too well…” Kelley said with a wink as I rolled my eyes. “Enough for us to be proud, but not enough for…well you know.”

“That’s rude.” Viv said with a small smile as I nodded my head at my fellow forward.

“It is very rude.” I commented as they all smiled at me.

“You’re going to play great. Best of luck to everyone.” My mom said as I walked towards her and hugged her.

“Hi mom” I said as she gave me a tight hug. “I missed you guys.”

“We missed you too.” She said taking my face in her hands and kissing my forehead.

“I hate to break this up, but we got to get to warmups.” Danielle said approaching as I nodded my head. I quickly gave my ma a hug before heading with my teammates to start warmups.

We warmed up for a little bit before heading into the locker room and getting ready to head to the tunnel to start the game. As we headed up to get lined up in the tunnel, I made a point to hug each of the US girls because they were also like family for me.

“Good luck” Alex said as I grinned at her.

“You too.” I said as I took my spot in the line.

We soon walked out and did our national anthems and then quickly got the game started. The first half was rough for both sides with neither team finding a goal. It was great for us because I know the US has been able to score in like the first 15 minutes of all their games so…it’s going alright for us.

“I mean it’s good that they haven’t scored.” I said shrugging my shoulders as some of the other girls nodded.

“Yeah, but neither have we…” Viv commented with a grimace as I nodded my head.

“We play better in the second half anyway…” Danielle said as most of us agreed with the statement.

We then went out for the second half and it just all fell apart. In the 57th minute, Alex was taken down by Stefanie with a high boot. It was initially just called for a corner kick until they did a VAR check. As soon as they called for the check, I knew it was going to be a penalty. That seemed to be how all the checks were going regardless of team or situation. I groaned when Pinoe but the ball in the back of the net.

“It’s okay” I said as some of my teammates looked a little dejected. “We are still in this.”

We tried to get back into the game, but in the 69th minute Rose sent the ball into the back of the net off a beautiful shot. For the next 20 minutes, my team fought as hard as we could to comeback, but we were unable to. I bit my lip trying to stop myself from crying as I heard the final whistle go.

I let out a breath as I watched my parents score. It was bittersweet. I was so happy for them especially because I know what the last few years has looked like for them. I know how hard they fought to be on the team, but it didn’t make this any less disappointing.

“It’s okay.” Lieke said as she pulled me into a hug. I dropped my head onto her shoulder burying my face so that no one would see me cry. “It’s okay…you did so good.”

“It just sucks” I mumbled as she nodded her head.

“I know. I know it does…” she continued stroking my hair whispering comforting things to me as I pulled away wiping my eyes.

She took a step back from me as my mom approached us. She had a hesitant look on her face, but she immediately pulled me in for a hug when a fresh wave of tears hit. I let myself be comforted by her. I felt bad because she should be celebrating their win, not comforting me.

“I’m sorry.” I mumbled in her shoulder. “You guys did great.”

“Shh...it’s okay.” She said a I felt another body join the hug.

“We are so proud of you.” My ma said rubbing my back. I pulled away from them as I wiped my eyes again. I mustered up a small smile as they both continued comforting me.

“You guys deserve it.” I said nodding my head.

“You don’t have to say that.” They laughed as I let out a small laugh. I took a deep breath as they hugged me again.

Afterwards, we got our medals and watched them get their medals as well. Because I was the youngest, everyone had taken to comforting me. I appreciated it because it meant I had someone near me at all times. We then went to our locker room. I had already been told about the party that they would be having to celebrate, but I was told via my parents that I didn’t have to go.

“Are you going to go?” Sari asked as I shrugged my shoulders.

“I haven’t decided.” I said as she nodded her head. “I want to support them, but also…”

“You should go. You might feel better.”

“Maybe…” I gathered my stuff as we exited the stadium not long after that. The bus ride to the hotel felt short as we soon made our way to our rooms. I was roomed with Viv who promptly stated she was taking a night in hopes of ‘forgetting this nightmare’. What a mood.

“I think I am going to go to the party.” I announced as she nodded her head. “They are still my family and I should be happy for them”

“Good for you.” She said as I smiled at her. I got changed quickly before going off to find Shanice. I knew she was going so I was going to head out with her.

A little later, we arrived and there were a ton of people. As I looked around my parents, I felt myself be turned around and pulled into a hug. This really needs to stop happening.

“I am proud of you. My baby.” Kyle exclaimed as he took my face in his hands. “You did so good.”

“Thanks Kyle.” I said as he grinned at me which got me to smile. He kissed my forehead as he then guided to me to where my parents were.

“I found our child.” He exclaimed as a bunch of the girls all yelled my name. I was pulled into various hugs as I eventually ended up in the arms of my parents.

“My baby…” my ma said as she held me close. There were various ‘awwws’ around the group as I let her hug me.

“Congrats you guys. You guys played a fantastic tournament.” I said as they all gave me soft smiles.

“You did too and Hey! We will see you in the Olympics next year!” Alex said as I picked up a nearby champagne glass.

“I’ll drink to that!” I said as I raised my glass. Before I could take a sip, the glass was ripped out of my hand.

“No you won’t” my mom said as I frowned.

“I can drink here.”

“I don’t care. You’re too young.” She said as I pouted.

“Literally everyone here is hammered.” I said as I glanced around at the various drunk people.

“It’s a no…” both my parents said as I pouted at both of them. We stood for a few more minutes before they moved on to mingle with other people. Alex secretly slipped me a drink as I grinned at the forward.

“Our secret.” She said as I took a sip. “Don’t tell your moms or they might murder me”

“I won’t”

“Now, come dance with us.” She said pulling me towards a group of people including a drunk JJ, sober Christen, and I can’t quite tell Crystal.

As the night continued, I felt myself slowly forgetting the pain of losing. The game was disappointing, but the memories I was making with this team and my family were completely unforgettable. Also, who know? Maybe I’ll kick their asses next year.

The End.

Following Footsteps - Krashlyn Imagine

(Y/N) POV:

“Yeah no I understand...thank you so much! You have no idea what this means to me.” I grinned as Mark told me about what would happen next. We quickly said goodbyes as I started celebrating in my room. This is literally the best day ever.

I finally got called up for the U-17 Women’s Soccer Team. Honestly, I didn’t think this day was ever going to come. I have already started preparing myself for the comments that will no doubt follow, but I am too excited to care at the moment. I have waited for what feels like an eternity to get a call-up. My moms are going to flip when they find out.

I exited my room and headed downstairs to see my mom and ma in the kitchen. I sat down at the table as they both turned to smile at me.

“What’s got you so excited?” my mom asked me as I grinned at her.

“oh nothing….except I just got a call from Mark Carr inviting me to the next U-17 camp.” I said as I started jumping out of my seat. Ma was the first to move as she pulled me into a hug.

“Oh, honey we are so proud of you. Ash, babe you’re going to suffocate her.” Mom said coming over and pulling me in for a hug as ma let me go.

“That is what I am talking about. My baby following in the footsteps of her mothers.” Ma said holding up her hand for a high five. I shook my head and high fived her as I stood for a moment.

“I just can’t believe it’s actually happening.” I said sitting back down with a giant smile. “I feel like I’ve waited forever for this opportunity…”

“You earned it…no one is more dedicated than you.” Ma said as they both smiled softly at me. Before I could respond, the door opened, and I heard a bit of yelling.

“You’re wrong. Ashlyn tell them they’re wrong.” My aunt Kelley said pointing to my Aunt Alex and Aunt Sydney.

“What are they wrong about?” ma asked giving them all odd looks.

“It doesn’t matter.” Alex said taking a seat and giving me a smile. I grinned back at the forward as Sydney took the seat across from her.

“I’m going to be mad about this forever.” Kelley said groaning.

“You say that about everything though.” Mom said giving her a look as Kelley nodded her taking a seat next to Alex.

“I’m mad about a lot of things.”

“Why don’t you share your news?” Mom asked looking to me as I grinned at her.

“What news?” Sydney asked looking to my parents and then to me.

“I got called up to the U-17 team.” I said my smile widening as they all smiled at me

“What? No way!” Kelley said as she stood and came over to give me a hug. “That’s amazing”

“Oh my gosh! I am so proud. You are going to smoke those other girls” Alex said as I smiled at her nodding my head.

“I’m not trying to smoke anyone. I just want my chance to prove myself.” I said as leaned back in my chair. “I already know that the comments are going to come about how I got this opportunity. I’m prepared to prove that I belong there.”

“If anyone gives you shit, I want you to tell me.” Ma said with a serious look as they all got serious looks on their face.

“Yeah, no joke…if anyone messes with you, you have to tell us so we can help you.” Sydney said putting her hand on my shoulder.

“I’m trying to avoid that though. I love that you all care about me. I really do, but I don’t want special treatment just because my parents used to be on the team. I want everyone to feel like I am there because I am good.”

“Look, people are going to talk shit regardless of what we or you do…there’s always going to be that person that says you’re only there because of where you come from which is why you have to work harder than them. I understand that you want to prove yourself, but if it gets too much you need to tell someone.” Alex said with a supportive smile

“I know and I will…I have to try to handle on my own first though.”

“I respect that, and maybe they won’t give you shit so don’t stress about it now…” Kelley said with a shrug of her shoulders.

“I won’t. I’m just really excited to get to go.” I said with a smile as I looked at them. They all had proud smiles on their faces.

“You should be. Next thing you know, you will be winning a World Cup.” Mom joked as I smiled at the thought.

“I can see it now… (Y/N) Harris with the winning goal of the World Cup Final…what a nice headline that would be…” Ma said as I grinned at her.

“Stop…that’s not going to happen.” I said trying to fight off the smile on my face.

“Hey, it could happen, and we will be right there cheering you on.” Mom said as she came over and kissed my forehead.

“Hey, dream big because dreams do happen.” Kelley said with an amused smile as Alex immediately turned and whacked her on the arm. I laughed as Alex glared at Kelley. Mom and ma were biting back smiles as Sydney was full on belly laughing at the exchange.

“I said that after winning a gold medal and I was really emotional. You jerk.” Alex defended crossing her arms as Kelley continued laughing. I shook my head as we all continued hanging out before mom turned towards me.

“You know who would probably love to hear this news?”

“Who?”

“Your uncle.”

“Oh my god Kyle is going to flip.” Ma said with a grin as I pulled my phone out and immediately dialed his number. I waited for a moment before he picked up.

“Hello, my beautiful niece.” I heard him say excitingly

“I have something to tell you.” I said as they all waited for me to tell him

“What’s up?” He asked curiously

“I got called up for the U-17 National Team.” It was silent for a moment before he started screaming. It lasted for a few moments before he quieted down.

“OH my god!! Do your mothers know? Oh, my goodness, I am so proud of you! You’re going to tear it up. I can already see the headlines now about what a star you’re going to be.” He was talking really fast and excitedly which caused most of us to laugh or smile. He then quieted down again before talking very seriously. “I am so proud of you. You have no idea. I don’t care when your first game is. I will be there.”

“Thank you, Kyle.” I said smiling as he continued telling me how proud of me, he was. Eventually, we got off the phone and my parents gave me small smiles.

“He’s not wrong. You’re going to do amazing and you bet we are all going to be at the first game.” I smiled as I nodded my head. I stood up and gave them both hugs. It felt good to get called up and it felt even better knowing I had the support of my whole family. I’m not ashamed to say I am following in the footsteps of my parents, and I am absolutely ready to prove myself.

The End.

Loving Her: Alex Morgan - Chapter 4

A Date to Remember

Alex’s POV:

I watched in amusement as (Y/N) continued looking at her phone. Everyone was trying not to laugh as her eyes continued widening while staring.

“You got to be kidding me?” she groaned as she continued scrolling on her phone. “You couldn’t have given me a warning?”

“Why is she flipping shit?” Kelley asked as she walked into the room, we were all in. We had the day off tomorrow, so it was mainly trying to figure out what we were going to do. We got sidetracked by me showing (Y/N) my pictures from my photoshoot that I did not long ago.

“Alex’s sports illustrated just came out and I don’t think she was ready.” Pinoe said motioning to where (Y/N) was taking deep breaths. “Are you good yet?”

“I’m fine.” She said turning towards me. “You’re just so fucking beautiful. Like, holy shit”

I grinned at her as she leaned forward kissing me. I reciprocated immediately as she leaned her forehead against mine. I guess you could say we are still in the honeymoon phase of the relationship, but it also feels like nothing has changed. We are still as affectionate and spend as much time as we were before we got together, but now we do more stuff together. Like kiss…a lot. I think it might be my new favorite thing to do.

“Okay hey guys…” Allie said pulling the back of my shirt as I turned towards her. “We are still here.”

“I know” (Y/N) said giving me another kiss as I smiled at the girl. “You clearly haven’t seen these pictures. I am literally the luckiest person on the planet. Like, no competition I got the most beautiful girl on the planet.”

“Gosh I am so happy you guys are together. It was nightmare trying to navigate you two before.” Ash said as I shook my head at her. “No do not shake your head…you have no idea what it was like having to listen to both of you pine over each other.”

“Well, then it’s a good thing that we are together now.” (Y/N) said throwing her arm around me as I turned and kissed her cheek.

Everyone fell into their own conversations as I turned to lean against (Y/N). I intertwined our fingers and smiled at how nice it felt to finally get to be like this with her. I don’t think I realized exactly how strongly I felt about her until we were actually together. I don’t know how I managed to get through life before because it seems almost impossible to be away from her now.

“I love you” I mumbled closing my eyes slightly.

“I love you too beautiful” she said kissing my forehead.

“Okay real talk…any ideas for how to spend the day tomorrow?” Allie asked looking around the room. (Y/N) and I both shrugged our shoulders as everyone started throwing ideas out there.

“Why do we have to do something as a group?” (Y/N) asked with a look of confusion on her face. “I mean…we are literally going to be spending the next month together…”

“Do you not want to hang out?” Kelley asked giving her a look of offense.

“I just had other ideas of how I wanted to spend my day.” She said shrugging her shoulders.

“Like what?”

“Like…taking my girlfriend on a date.” She said as I sat up and looked at her. She gave me a small smile. “I mean…I know I said I was skipping the asking you out, but I would like to actually take you on a date.”

“I would love to.” I said turning towards everyone else in the room that was smiling at us. “Count us out of whatever you guys are doing tomorrow.”

“I just know that I am going to grow to hate you two.” Allie said as she turned to Kelley talk about what they were going to do the next day. I smiled as (Y/N) stood up and reached for my hand. She pulled me up as we said our goodnights to everyone and headed back to our room. We quickly got ready for bed and I pouted when (Y/N) got into her own bed. She rolled her eyes opening her arms as I made my way into her bed and cuddled up to her.

“Keep this up and you’ll never be able to detach.” She said with an amused grin. I looked up at her and kissed her. I gripped her jaw keeping her in place as I deepened the kiss. Her hands went to my waist and I couldn’t help but push myself up so that I was in her lap. She pulled away and immediately started placing kisses on my neck. The action got a moan from me which caused her to smile slightly. I knew if we kept this up it would get way too heated so, I pushed my hand against her chest as I pulled away.

“We need to do that more often.” She said trying to catch her breath. I smiled and nodded my head at her statement. I moved so that I could lay my head down on her shoulder.

“I love you.”

“I love you too.” She said kissing my forehead and moving to shut the light off.

(Y/N) POV Switch

I woke up with Alex firmly in my arms. The last few days have been extremely blissful since we got together. I couldn’t be happier. Like, I knew being in a relationship with her was going to be amazing, but this has been like a dream come true. I keep waiting for the moment where someone says that it was all one big joke and that she doesn’t actually feel the same. I know it’s not going to happen, but I still get worried that she is going to change her mind about me.

“You’re thinking too loud.” Alex mumbled turning her head to look at me. I smiled at her and ran my fingers down her arm that was wrapped around my waist. “Want to talk about it?”

“I’m good. Just thinking about you.” I said earning a smile from the forward. She kissed my jaw and tightened her grip on me.

“Too sweet.”

“We should get up.” I said causing her to groan in response. “We have a date to go on.”

That caused her to sit up slightly which gave me my chance to stand up and get out of bed. I smiled at her when she pouted at me. I went to the bathroom to start getting ready for the day. When I came out, the forward was on a facetime call. I immediately recognized the voice of her mother.

“Yeah. I am excited to see you guys too.” Alex said smiling at the phone. She glanced up at me and grinned when I blew her a kiss.

“Who’s there? Is that (Y/N)? Let me talk to her.” Her mother said as I moved to take the phone from the forward before she could react.

“Hi Pam” I grinned at my girlfriends’ mother. Alex gave me a look as I sat down on the bed. “How are you?”

“I am well. How are you (Y/N)?”

“I’m good. Just enjoying life. Hey, how did those gardening classes go?” I asked remembering the last time I had talked to the woman she had mentioned taking gardening classes.

“Oh my gosh! They were amazing. I’m going to have share some tips with you. I know you talked about wanting to do a garden with strawberries. Apparently, it’s all about the kind of soil you use.” I nodded my head as we continued talking for a few minutes. The look on Alex’s face was priceless as she listened to me talk to her mother.

“Yeah we will have to check out that farmers market the next time we have free time.” I said nodding my head at her. “I got to get ready, but here’s Alex.”

I handed the phone back to Alex who was giving me an odd look. She talked to her mom for a few minutes before hanging up. She looked at me as I laughed at her expression.

“Since when are you buddy-buddy with my mom?” she asked as I shrugged my shoulders.

“Alex, I’ve been in love with you for two years. Any chance I had to talk to your mom and get her love me so that if we ever did date, I’d be solid with your family I took.” She had a look of disbelief on her face as I grinned at her. “Come on” I said clapping my hands together. “We got to go soon. I have a day of things I’d like to do you with you.”

She stood and headed towards the bathroom as I changed into my clothes for the day. I had on jeans and a simple white t-shirt and my sunglasses that Christen claims make me look hungover. When Alex came out of the bathroom to get dressed, I fixed my hair and came out to see Alex fixing her hair in the mirror. She was wearing a white crop-top with some striped pants. I grinned at her as she put her purse over her shoulder.

I offered her my hand as we walked out of the room and down to the lobby. As we were heading towards the lobby exit, I heard someone call out Alex’s name. I turned and saw Kelley and Allie walking towards us.

“Hey, we are going to join you guys actually.” Kelley said as I frowned.

“No.” I said getting frowns from the other two girls as Alex looked at me and then to them. “I am taking her on a date.”

“I know, but everyone else is busy.” Allie said as her frown deepened.

“That falls under not my problem.” I said as Kelley gave me a look and Alex crossed her arms at both girls.

“Come on! You won’t even know we are there.”

“Why can’t you go with anyone else? Or by yourselves?”

“Everyone else is off doing their own thing. We didn’t want to join them. Come on let us go with you guys.”

“What part of I am taking her on a date do you not get?”

“You need us with you anyway.” Allie said giving me a look.

“How do you figure that?” I asked crossing my arms at the midfielder.

“Because if everyone just sees you guys together, they will know immediately that you are dating. If we are there, then it just looks like friends hanging out.”

I gave her a look of disbelief as Alex sighed. She looked between Kelley and Allie who both gave her hopeful looks. I could tell immediately that they were appealing to her because they knew she would say yes. I could already feel my jaw clench when Alex turned towards me.

“They’re not wrong.” She said with a small frown

“Unbelievable.” I mumbled as I closed my eyes trying to fight back the irritation. “Fine. Let’s go.”

The car ride to the store that I had planned on taking Alex too was silent from the both of us. Allie and Kelley were in the back talking to each other about something I really didn’t care about. I was trying not to be irritated with them because I get wanting to hangout with each other, but today was also important because it was Alex and I’s first date. I don’t think I am upset with anyone in particular just the situation.

“We’re here.” I said as we got out. I quickly paid for the three-hour parking spot as we headed in the direction of the store. We walked in and I groaned as Kelley and Allie immediately dragged Alex to one part of the store that they liked. I stood there for a moment feeling the irritation crawl back up. After a few minutes, Allie and Kelley went to try some of the stuff on. Alex immediately grabbed my hand dragging me into one of the dressing rooms.

“I am sorry.” She said as I shook my head. “I wasn’t expecting them to not find something else to do.”

“It’s fine.” I mumbled rubbing my temples. She took my face into her hands as I clenched my jaw.

“You say that, but I can see the anger all over your face.” She said as I closed my eyes.

“Yeah I am irritated. This is literally supposed to be our first date. I wanted to spend today with you and only you. Don’t get me wrong I love Allie and Kelley, but it was supposed to be our day.”

“What can I do to make this better?” she asked as I sighed and shook my head.

“I’m not mad at you.”

“Again, you say that…”

“Alex” I said as she frowned at me. “Can we please talk about this later?”

“No, I don’t want to leave this unresolved.”

“Okay, but they are going to come look-” I was interrupted my banging on the door. Alex opened the door and we saw Kelley giving us a sheepish smile. I turned to Alex who gave me another frown.

“Hey, I am really sorry about crashing your guys date. If you want, I can try to drag Allie to some other stores so you guys can have some alone time…I should be able to keep her occupied for a little while”

“I would love that” Alex said getting a thumbs up from Kelley. “I owe you one.”

“No, you don’t” she yelled back as I watched her approach Allie and then drag her out of the store.

Alex turned back to me with a smile. I raised my eyebrow at her as her smiled widened.

“See!” she said hugging me. “It worked out!”

“This just means we will have to meet up with them later.”

“At least we have some alone time now though.” She gave me a small kiss as I leaned my forehead against hers. “I am really sorry”

“It’s not your fault.” I mumbled as she kissed me on the lips.

“I’m still sorry.” She said as I dropped my head to her shoulder. I wrapped my arms around her waist holding her close. “Was this our first fight as a couple?” I pulled back and gave her a confused look as I thought about it.

“Oh my god…I think it was.” I said as she grinned at me. “Jesus…”

“We handled that like champs.” She said as I shook my head at her. I moved to pull her out of the dressing room and tried to look elsewhere as we got weird looks from people. She tried to hide her smile as she then dragged me out of the store. “Where to next?”

We continued all the things that I had planned for us to do. We went into to a couple more stores before we eventually found our way to a restaurant. Kelley had texted Alex letting her now that Allie was now actively looking for us. I rolled my eyes at that.

“What is her issue? Has she always been like this and I just didn’t notice?” I asked as we sat down waiting for the two other girls to show up.

“She has always been like this.” Alex said with an amused look as I grimaced. We ordered our food and the food for the girls and sat there talking when they finally showed. Kelley sat down first as Allie proceeded to tell a story about a prank they played on some guy on the street. Our food arrived shortly after and we all started eating.

“Well done” Allie said to me as I furrowed my brows at her.

“What?”

“You found a place that is vegan friendly” she said smiling at me as I nodded my head.

“Yeah, I made sure it was vegan friendly when I checked yesterday when I was planning our date.”

“So sweet.” Alex said giving me a wink as I smiled at her.

“Yeah and there’s an ice cream place not too far that is also vegan friendly…if you want to check it out.”

Alex nodded her head as Kelley started talking about what the next few weeks looked like for our schedules.

“Once we are done with the send-off games, we will go to New York for that big media day thing and then to London and then to France after that.” I said remembering when Becky had told me about the schedule.

“These next few weeks are going to be hell” Kelley mumbled as Alex and me both nodded. Once we were done eating, we walked around for a little bit before going to that ice cream place. We got some ice cream and then walked around a bit more before leaving and heading back to the hotel.

Once we departed from Kelley and Allie, we laid down in my bed. I had my head resting on her leg as she ran her fingers through my hair.

“I had a fun time today.” She said scratching my scalp lightly. “I know it didn’t go as planned, but it was a lot of fun getting to spend time with you.”

“Yeah I had a good time too.” I said rolling so I could look at her face. She gave me a small smile.

“A successful first date.”

“And may there be many more…” I joked getting a laugh from her.

“We are okay right?”

“Yeah, I promise I am fine. I was just mad at the time. I didn’t mean to upset you.” I apologized feeling bad that she thought I was mad at her.

“No, I just felt bad because I know you planned the whole day for us.” She said as I shrugged my shoulders.

“I just wanted a day with you and I technically got that.”

“I love you.”

“I love you too.”

“Come on…let’s get into pajamas and watch Netflix or something.” She said as I stood and moved to change into pajamas. Once we were back to laying down, we cuddled into each other and turned on a movie to watch. I was enjoying the relaxing time with her because I knew the next few weeks were going to be extremely hectic and the amount of alone time we are going to get is probably going to dwindle. I guess we will just have to wait and see what the future holds for us.

Not a Baby! - USWNT Imagine

(Y/N) POV:

I woke up looking over to the other bed and seeing JJ still asleep. It was about five minutes before I was supposed to get up. I laid there thinking about the last year of my life. I signed with Orlando and had also gotten a call up to the national team. All at the young age of 19. I played in college for about a year before deciding that I wanted to go pro or as the rest of the team calls it. I pulled a Mal Pugh. I just wasn’t happy with playing in college. I liked the speed of playing pro and I even got a call up for how good I was.

I was happy playing in Orlando with Alex and the other girls. I felt at home there. It also doesn’t hurt to play with all the internationals like Marta and Alanna. 13-year-old me is out there screaming somewhere at the fact that I get to play with Marta. Playing with Alex has been huge for me as well. We connect really well on the field which probably helped me get the call up in the first place. I am not naïve to that fact.

I turned my head when the alarm went off and reached to turn it off. I stood up stretching out my arms out and stretching my back and legs.

“Julie” I tried waking the blonde who only groaned in response. “Come on. I don’t want us to be late for breakfast”

“You use the bathroom first anyways. Wake me when you come out.”

“Jokes on you. I’m already out” I joked as I headed for the bathroom. I heard JJ yell cute at me as I entered the bathroom.

I have gotten really close to a lot of the girls on the team. At first, it was only really Alex and Ash that I was close to due to playing together for club, but I made quick friends with a lot of the other girls on the team. Most of them refer to me as the baby due to being younger than the rest of them, even though I am only like two years younger than Mal.  It was super cute at first, but now it is annoying. Instead of being teammates, its more like I have a ton of moms who hover over my every move.

After taking a quick shower and changing into some comfortable clothes, I came out of the bathroom and picked up a pillow slamming it down on JJ.

“No” she groaned reaching for the pillow and then ultimately hitting me with one of her pillows. I chuckled at her actions.

“JJ come on. I don’t want to be late” she let out a huff and sat up glaring at me.

“I kind of want to punch you right now”

“Punch me and I’ll tell Becky” she rolled her eyes at me and stood moving towards the bathroom.

“I thought you said it was annoying that they baby you”

“It is, but it comes in handy sometimes” I heard her let out a laugh.

I picked up my phone and started scrolling through twitter liking some of the tweets. I had mostly NWSL related content on my timeline. Orlando is supposed to play Portland in two weeks and it is going to be one of the biggest games I have played in. I know how good they are, but I know how good we can be. I think we will win. Alex, Marta and I are connecting too good right now for us not to win. I liked a few more tweets about my player of the month nomination before locking my phone. I waited for what felt like hours before JJ came out the bathroom.

“You didn’t have to wait for me” she said smiling at me as she finished brushing her hair.

“Yes, I did. The last time I walked to breakfast by myself they all threw a fit” I said as I slipped on some shoes and walked out of the room with Julie.

“Oh I remember that” she laughed putting one hand on my shoulder “They were all worried you were going to get mugged between here and downstairs.

I rolled my eyes at her amusement and shrugged her hand off my shoulder. We entered the elevator and pressed the button to head downstairs.

“It really wasn’t that funny” I said crossing my arms in irritation. The midfielder laughed more at my irritation. When the doors opened, I stepped out and headed towards where the rest of the team was. As soon as I entered the room, I was engulfed in a hug by my Orlando teammate.

“How did you sleep little one?” Ash asked while having me wrapped in her arms. JJ continued walking moving to talk to crystal.

“Good” I said as Ash tightened her grip on me. “Ash I can’t breathe”

“Jesus let her go before you kill her” Kelley said moving to push Ashlyn away from me. The goalkeeper released me just as another arm was thrown around me. I turned to see Tobin standing there and guiding me towards the table where she placed me between Christen and Becky. A plate of food was put in front of me by Christen who gave me a smile.

“This is all unnecessary” I said feeling overwhelmed at having everything done for me. “I mean I could have found my own spot and made my own plate. I am 19 not 5”

“We are just being nice (Y/N). Take the help” Christen said taking a bit of her own food. I rolled my eyes before eating my food. They seemed to get everything I usually eat.

“Are you excited to play today?” Becky asked me. I let a grin spread over my face.

“Yeah I can’t believe I get to start” I said honestly. I wasn’t expecting to get the start and Jill made it very clear that she expects a lot from me. Most of the team tried to argue that she shouldn’t place a lot of pressure on me because they don’t want me to be stressed, but I know I can handle it. “I can’t wait to prove myself”

“We already believe in you” Alex said from across the table. I smiled at her and she shot me a little wink. I was by far the closest to her considering we play similar positions and on the same club team.  “Or atleast I believe in you”

“That makes me feel so much better” I said sarcastically shooting the forward a smile. She shook her head as all the others started saying they also believed in me. I rolled my eyes. “Guys. Thanks I appreciate it”

“You got this!” Kelley said giving me a thumbs up “Even if you do get nervous, we are out there with you. We got your back”

I smiled but felt nervousness settle in. I loved how supportive they were, but I didn’t like the pressure that it put on me. I can handle it don’t get me wrong, but the idea of disappointing any of them made my heart hurt.

-Skip to Game-

The game was getting ready to start. I was walking with Alex towards the field after doing the anthems and shaking the other team’s hands. Jill gave a whole speech about how much of a threat Canada was going to be and how important the game was. She kept looking at me which only increased my nerves. Everyone kept giving me supportive looks and I think I got hugs from everyone on the team and about five different supportive speeches from the girls.

“Hey” Alex said giving me a concerned look. “This is no different than if we were playing for Orlando”

“Yeah it’s only first place in World Cup qualifying tournament game” I joked running my fingers through my hair. “I’m fine. I promise”

She smiled at me giving me a quick hug before getting into position. The whistle blew and the game had started. For the first few minutes, it was a lot of figuring out the pace of the game and what the other team had planned strategically. There were a few close calls from both sides with both teams having good looks on goal. In the 27th minute, I got the ball and ran upfield getting past one of their defenders. I slotted the ball up to Alex who was able to finish it with ease. The forward grinned and ran jumping into my arms.

“That was an amazing ball” she exclaimed hugging me tightly. The rest of the team joined the hug all of them patting Alex on the head.

“An even better finish” I said grinning at the forward. She smiled as I sat her on the ground, and we walked back to midfield.

The first half finished with Christine Sinclair getting an equalizer in 42nd minute. So, not exactly how we wanted it to go. I sat in my seat drinking some water and listening to Jill give us instructions for the second half.

“(Y/N) don’t be afraid to go in on goal” she said looking at me. I must have had a deer in headlights look because she gave me a small smile as Kelley gave me a supportive shoulder squeeze. I nodded my head at her instructions before looking down and thinking about what I could do to change my game so we could score.

“You’re playing great” I looked up at Becky who smiled at me. “You’re doing good”

“Thanks” I said standing up and walking with her towards the tunnel. We all started discussing tactics as we made our way out of the tunnel to the field to start the second half.

Once the whistle blew to start the second half, I knew the air felt different. It felt more urgent that it had before as our passes and the overall play seemed to move faster. It worked in my favor because that was the kind of play I thrived on.

In the 67th minute, Alex received an incredible ball from Tobin after a Canada corner. She slotted it up to me as I ran on it. I ran towards the goal with two of Canada’s defenders running after me. I got in the box and chipped the shot over Labbe who went to ground. The ball sailed over her head and out of reach right into the back of the net. I ran throwing my arms in the air towards the sideline. I grinned turning just in time to catch a jumping Alex Morgan. Her body crashed into mine as the rest of the team collided with us.

“That was amazing!!” Kelley yelled giving me a huge smile.

“You did so good” Alex said taking my face in her hands as I was getting head pats from all the others.

“It was an amazing ball” I grinned

“Even better finish” she said letting go of me as we headed back to midfield. I smiled at the crowd throwing up a heart. I heard the echoes of my name around the stadium and took a moment to take it in. The game soon continued, and Canada started being more physical than before wanting the win. I understood their urgency but there was no way we would let them come back.

Things took a turn for the worse in the 86th minute, when two of their players crashed into me as soon as I received the ball from Christen. The foul happened next to our bench and I could already hear the protests from my teammates as I hit the ground. I felt a searing pain in my leg and side. I could faintly feel pain on my face and the wetness from blood indicating that my eyebrow had split open.

“Relax little one” Tobin said putting her hand on my shoulder to stop me from moving. My eyes were shut tight as I tried to keep it together from the pain.

“(Y/N)!” Christen said moving to my other side and rubbing circles on my back. I was close enough to the bench that the rest of my teammates had gotten as close as they could without being on the field. I turned my body towards the bench and heard a couple of gasps from my teammates.

“Move” one of the medical staff said to Tobin and Christen as he and his assistant started tending to me. I felt soft hands hold my face to stop me from moving and the staff tending to my eyebrow. I whimpered when one of them moved my leg to see how bad it was.

“Shhh It’s okay” Alex said rubbing circles on my cheek “Let them do their job”

“It’s okay Little one” Kelley said from next to her. “They’re fixing you”

“You’re done for today” one of them said as they lifted me up and placed me on my feet. They didn’t have the chance to help me walk off the field because Alex took me with Ash coming on the other side to help carry me to the sideline. I sat on the bench trying to fight back tears as the disappointment of being subbed out and the pain from my injuries set in.

Ash wrapped an arm around me letting me rest my head on her shoulder. Alex had taken my other side and taken my hand in hers gently rubbing circles to soothe me. The medical staff had finished cleaning my eyebrow and placed a bandage on it but had determined it was too bad for me to continue.

When the game was finished, we had won but I didn’t feel like celebrating. After doing all the things that were required of me to do, I headed for the locker room just trying to gather my stuff so that I could leave. I was standing by my stuff putting things away. I felt arms wrap around my shoulders and a face press into my back. To my complete surprise, it was Carli who was giving me comfort.

“I know you’re disappointed, but you had one hell of a game and we couldn’t have own without you.” She said giving me a small smile. I nodded my head and then turned back to putting my things away.

Everyone continued trying to comfort me and I started getting more and more annoyed. Finally, it was when they all attempted trying to carry me to the bus that I lost my cool.

“Enough!” I snapped causing them all to stop and stare at me. “I get it you’re trying to be nice, but I’m not a baby. I can do things myself. I can handle disappointment myself. I am grown adult. You are not my mothers and there is no need to keep treating me like a child”

I didn’t wait for reactions or responses as I headed for the bus. I climbed it and went all the way to the back and sat down by myself. I put my headphones on and pulled my hoodie up to indicate that I wasn’t in a talking mood. Despite all my repellents that I put in place, I still felt someone sit next to me. I groaned and turned my head slightly preparing for whoever tried to talk when I saw Alex. She wasn’t looking at me nor did she say anything. She had headphones on and was looking at her phone. I knew exactly what she was doing, and still couldn’t help but feel tears stinging my eyes. I leaned my head onto her shoulder and then felt her rest her head on mine.

The bus ride and walk back to my room was silent. I had to go see the medical staff for a few hours to determine if I had any major injuries. Once it was determined that I didn’t, I could leave. I headed back to my room that I shared with JJ and walked in to see everyone sitting there. I groaned prepared for more coddling when Christen held up a hand.

“We just wanted to say we are sorry.” She said giving me a sad look. “It was never our intention to make you feel smothered”

“Yeah I think we all got caught up in the excitement of having you hear that we didn’t really stop to consider how the way we treated you would have an effect.” Pinoe said scratching the back of her neck nervously

“You don’t have to apologize” I said leaning against the wall and crossing my arms. “I was out of line”

“You weren’t!” Ash said smiling at me. “We can be overbearing. We care a lot about you. We see the talent in you and we know what you are capable of and we want to help you reach your full potential.”

“We just need to figure out a way to do it without being so protective” Becky said standing up and giving me a hug. I accepted her hug and then turned to the rest of the team.

“To say we are sorry. We are having a movie night. We had bigger plans in place to celebrate your goal and the win and everything, but we realized that maybe you wouldn’t want to do that considering how your game ended” Kelley said excitement coming off of her

“Do I get to pick the movie?”

“Yes” Christen said giving a small nod. I walked towards her pulling her in for a hug which she immediately reciprocated. I immediately realized my mistake in hugging her as everyone immediately stood up wanting hugs. I groaned going down the line of people giving them hugs before it turned into a group hug.

The only one who didn’t attempt to give me a hug we Alyssa, Carli, and Alex. I grinned at Alex before diving for my bed which she was on and pulling her in for a hug.

“My cuddle buddy” I said as she rolled her eyes but ultimately let me settle down next to her. It was then a battle for who was getting to sit on the other side of me which Christen immediately claimed after threatening to tell on everyone for bringing in all sorts of junk food. I allowed myself to get comfortable between the two girls as Kelley and Ash both settled on the bed finding spots to lay in. Everyone else spread around the room as I said I wanted to watch She’s the man.

“Can you pick something else?” one of the girls asked

“No you said I could pick” I said resting my head on Alex’s shoulder.

“We did say that” Tobin said smiling clearly liking my movie choice.

“Okay everyone shut up” Kelley yelled as Pinoe turned the movie on.

“Still a baby” I heard Alex mumble and I immediately moved to protest before realized I was basically being cradled by her and Christen. I groaned slightly and gave the forward a small slap on the arm.

“You win this round Morgan.”

“shhh movie starting” she said as I rolled my eyes, I turned to lay my head on Christen’s shoulder sticking my tongue out at Alex as Christen wrapped into a hug.

I guess I can accept being the bay for one night.

A/N: This is a whole lot longer than I anticipated. Hopefully, you guys liked it!

An Opportunity - Julie Ertz Imagine

(Y/N)’s POV:

I had just got off my phone with my manager who was telling me about an offer that I had got from FC Barcelona. Apparently, they were extremely interested in signing me for their upcoming season. It was an incredible offer, but I wasn’t sure if I wanted to take it.

Currently, I play on the Chicago Red Stars as a forward. It’s incredible because I get to play with my amazing girlfriend Julie. I love playing for Chicago, but it has always been my dream to go play in Europe. If I went to Barcelona, then I would get to play at the same club as Messi, Pique, and all of those guys. If I stay, then I get to stay with Julie and play my other teammates on the regular.

Gosh, everyone will no doubt flip out when they find out that I am even considering leaving the NWSL. It’s one thing to go out on loan, but to leave completely will cause some issues. According to my manager, I have played in the NWSL long enough that my position on the national team shouldn’t be compromised so that won’t be an issue at least.  

“Are you in there?” I turned my head towards Julie who gave me an odd look. I nodded my head as she smiled at me.

“Yeah, sorry I just zoned out for a second.” I said as she kissed my cheek earning a wide smile from me.

“A second? We’ve been talking to you for a few minutes” Kelley said as I sighed. Her statement caused everyone around us to let out laughs. “I was asking you how you feel about starting, but I don’t know if I care now.”

“I feel good about it. Thank you for caring.” I joked as she shook her head at me. This got a few smiles from everyone at the table. I was sat at breakfast with JJ, Crystal, Kelley, Allie, Christen, Tobin, Alex, Ash, and Ali. It was a big table full of personalities and no shortages of jokes.

“Who was that on the phone?” I turned towards JJ with an unsure expression. I didn’t necessarily want to tell them right now that I was thinking of leaving the NWSL.

“My manager.” I said deciding that it was better to be honest than to lie about it. “Just wanted to tell me about a potential transfer.”

“Which team is after you this week?” Christen joked as an uneasy look crossed Julie’s face. I let out a little laugh knowing that there was truth in the question. This wasn’t the first time that a team had tried to take me from Chicago.

“Barcelona.” I said closing my eyes immediately as everyone fell silent. I opened to see everyone staring at me in shock. This was the first time that it was a non-NWSL team after me, so I guess I could understand the surprise on their faces. “Don’t all speak at once.”

“You’re kidding right?” Crystal asked giving me a doubtful look. I smiled slightly and shook my head at her. “Barcelona is actually after you?”

“Barcelona is actually after me.” I said as I turned to look at Julie who had an unreadable look on her face. “It’s not a big deal.”

“It is a big deal. (Y/N) you’re talking about going to Europe.” Kelley said with wide eyes. “Like is it a loan deal? Or is it like an actual transfer?”

“A transfer. I would no longer be a NWSL player.” I said leaning on the table resting my head on my hand.

“So, you’re going to say yes then?” Alex asked with a frown on her face.

“I didn’t say that.”

“You’re thinking about it though?” Ash asked me with an angered look on her face.

“I didn’t say that either.” I said giving them all looks. “I don’t know what I want to do. I have a lot to think about.”

I jumped slightly when Julie abruptly stood up. She didn’t say a word as she turned and walked out of the room. I watched her leave as I sighed debating whether or not I should go after her. On one hand, she’s mad and/or upset and I should definitely comfort her. On the other hand, its all directed at me which means she might not want to talk to me. I went to stand when Crystal stood and gave me a small smile.

“I got it. Let her cool off.” She said walking off to find Julie. I leaned back in my chair running my hands over my face.

“Have you thought this through?” Allie asked giving me a look. I groaned at the question trying to find patience.

“You guys, I just got the call like not even 10 minutes ago. Nothing is set in stone. He was just telling me that it was a possibility. I haven’t made any decisions yet.”

“Have you thought about your place on this team? What’s going to happen when you are playing in Spain?” Ash looked around at everyone at the table. Everyone seemed to agree that this was a bad decision.

“I don’t know. I haven’t even had time to fully process everything. What part of this just happened do you not get?”

I stood up and walked out of the room. I headed back to my room where I found JJ and Crystal sitting. Julie’s eyes were slightly puffy which indicated that she had been crying. Crystal stood and gave me a pat on the back as she exited the room.

“Can I just say-?”

“No.” she said standing up and going into the bathroom. I stood there dumbfounded at her completely dismissing me. I stood for a moment before changing into my pre-game clothes. We were supposed to leave in about 15 minutes, so I needed to get my stuff ready. The bathroom door opened, and JJ came out grabbing her stuff.

“Are we going to talk before we leave?”

She didn’t say a word as she left the room. I closed my eyes and took a breath. I grabbed my phone from my pocket and dialed my managers number. I waited for a moment while it rang.

“Hey (Y/N), you already come to a decision?” he joked

“I have actually.” I said trying to get this over with. “If you could let the guys from Barcelona know that I really appreciate the opportunity and I am so honored that they were even considering me, but I am going to have to decline.”

“Okay hang on…” he said and I could tell he wasn’t fully expecting me to have an answer already. “Have you thought about this? I mean…this is a huge opportunity. This could easily put you up as the highest paid player in the world.”

“I know, but my life is in Chicago and my friends are in the NWSL. I need to stay here.”

“Okay listen…I want you to think about this. I understand that your life is in Chicago, but one of the first things that you said to me when we agreed to work together was that you wanted to get to Europe eventually. This is it. This is your opportunity to fulfill a dream. I will call you in a few days and if you still want to say no then I will honor your wishes.” I bit my lip trying to fight back tears.

“Okay.” I said as he said his goodbyes. I put my phone away and grabbed my stuff before walking out of the room. I headed downstairs and walked out of the hotel and onto the bus. I ignored everyone as I moved to sit by myself.

I looked up when Pinoe sat next to me. I gave her a confused look which caused her to laugh. She gave me a small smile.

“Are you sitting with me out of pity?” I asked as the winger shrugged her shoulders.

“No not really…I did feel bad. Everyone’s kind of mad at you right now.” I shook my head

“I didn’t even do anything. It’s not my fault that a team in Europe wants to sign me. I didn’t ask for this.” I looked over where JJ was sitting talking quietly with Crystal. She caught my eye and then turned to face the window away from me.

“I think that….you know this team is a family. We all love each other and care deeply for each other. I think that everyone is thinking in terms of what would it be like if you were in Europe.”

“Literally half of the team has gone to Europe on loan…the only difference for me is I would play there for a whole season instead of half a season.”

“You would also play during our offseason…so no vacations with all of us. No traveling with your girlfriend. You wouldn’t arrive the same days and you would most likely have to leave immediately instead of getting to hangout with us. There are quite a few things that would change.”

“I guess I didn’t think about all of that.” I said looking down as she put an arm around me.

“Kid, you’re going places. If going to Europe is what you want, then go to Europe.” She said as I looked to her. “You should do what feels best for you.”

I nodded my head as we then switched the subject and talked about the upcoming game. Once we got to the stadium, we immediately moved to get ready and warmed up. Everything seemed to go by as we quickly were standing in the tunnel. I stood in between JJ and Alex waiting for us to exit the tunnel.

“If it makes you feel any better, my first thought was you.” I said knowing JJ could hear me. “I told my manager to decline the offer because I couldn’t imagine a fate worse than being away from you.”

She turned to look at me with a serious look. Before she could say anything, we had to walk out which meant that there was no time to talk about the situation any further. The game quickly started, and I could already tell that it was going to be a rough one.

We went up during the first half thanks to a goal from Alex which JJ was able to assist on. That was about the only good thing to be appreciated though. I wasn’t playing well at all and I knew it was because I wasn’t completely focused. That and I had at least two players on me at all times. I rolled my eyes a little when Jill started talking to me about how I was playing.

“No, she’s doing good. As long as you keep your passes pinpoint, then just keep doing what you’re doing. You’re drawing in all the players which is giving the rest of us more space to work in.” Pinoe said as I nodded my head.

“Got it” I said giving her a little salute as we got ready to head out of the locker room. I could tell that almost everyone was still upset with me. They were still refusing to make any kind of eye contact with me, but JJ gave me a slight smile. I count that as a win.

When we got back out there, something felt like it had shifted in the air. The other team was playing way more aggressively. I started getting frustrated at the amount of times I was being fouled and the amount of times it wasn’t being called. Everything seemed to come to a head in the 71st minute when me and two other players went for the ball. I jumped to head it to JJ when the one of the opposing players jumped and her elbow knocked into my forehead, while the other player smacked into me as well, but she hit my lower half. I landed awkwardly on my leg and immediately felt a searing pain in my leg.

I hit the ground and barely registered the whistle being blown. All I could focus on was my leg and head. Both of them were in extreme pain, I could already feel the tears coming to my eyes.

“It’s okay. Just breath. Focus on my voice baby.” JJ said as she ran her fingers through my hair. I had my eyes shut tight as I tried to pull myself together. “I got you. You’re okay.”

I laid there with silent tears streaming down my face as the medical staff motioned for a stretcher. They were telling me that they needed to check me for a concussion and check out my leg. I nodded listening to them, but I was starting to feel numb. I was cleared for a concussion in the locker room, but they wanted to check out my leg further. Though, they were leaning towards it being my ACL. I was given crutches and strict rules to stay off of my leg. I hadn’t really seen any of my teammates, but from what I had heard we had won the game. Everyone started making their way into the locker room and checking on me.

“Are you okay?” Ash asked taking my head in her heads and kissing my forehead. “What’s going on?”

“ACL most likely” I said looking to my leg with a frown. She gave me pat on the shoulder as Alex entered and beelined it for me. Also, giving me a hug and checking on me. I shrugged my shoulders at all their questions not really in the mood. Though, I smiled slightly when JJ walked in and moved towards me. Ash moved aside so she could stand next to me. She pulled my face into her hands and kissed my lips.

“Are you okay? I’m sorry” she said pulling me in and holding me close. I wrapped an arm around her waist as everyone walked away to give us a moment. “What did they say?”

“I don’t have a concussion, but they want to do some tests to make sure. As for my leg, most likely an ACL tear.” I nodded my head looking down at my leg not wanting to meet the eyes of my girlfriend. She pulled my head to look at her and I couldn’t fight back the tears at that point.

“It’s okay. We will figure it out together.” She gave me another kiss and started running her fingers through my hair. “I love you. I’m sorry for earlier by the way. I guess I was just super upset at the idea of losing you. I should have let you talk about it with me before freaking out.”

“I should have talked to you about it privately and not in front of everyone.”

“Did you really turn it down?” she asked looking into my eyes as I stared at her.

“I did. He’s going to call me in a few days, because he wants me to really think about it before he gives them an answer, but yeah I really turned it down.”

“You don’t have to.” She said as I looked at her. “If you want to go, then you should go. We will work it out together. I know how much you want to go to Europe.”

“It doesn’t mean anything if you’re not there.” I said looking at her. She smiled and kissed my forehead.

“God, I love you.” She said pulling me in for a kiss. “I mean it though, you should go.”

“I’ll think about it, and I love you too.” She grinned at me as I moved to stand up. I leaned on her for support. “It doesn’t really matter right now though. I won’t be playing anytime soon.”

“You’ll be back before you know it” Pinoe said slapping my shoulder which in turn made me groan. “Maybe in a Barcelona kit…who knows?”

“Stop…” I groaned again causing her to laugh. “Let me just say…I don’t know if I am going to leave the NWSL, but for now just assume I am staying at Chicago. I’ll let you know if I decide to leave. It’s a decision that I have to make though, and I hope you can all respect it.”

“I respect it.” Alex said causing everyone to nod. “I think it was the initial shock and stuff that had most of us upset. Besides, if you go to Spain then I have a new vacation spot.”

“I’m going to get such a nice tan.” JJ joked as I looked at her and kissed her forehead.

Everyone laughed and moved in to give me hugs. I don’t know what the future holds in terms of where I will play, but I know that the support system I have is going to have my back no matter what.

The End.

What A Baby! - Ashlyn Harris Imagine

(Y/N)’s POV:

“You know when you said that you were going to take me on this super cute date, I wasn’t expecting it to be babysitting Sydney’s children…” I said to Ash who was trying to get Roux to stop crying as I was playing with Cassius. Which was really him kicking the ball at me as I tried to dodge it.

“This is a cute date.” The goalkeeper responded as she rocked Roux back and forth. The panic on her face told me that she really wasn’t prepared to be holding a crying baby. I rolled my eyes and stood up from my spot walking over and taking Roux from her rocking the baby who quieted down a little.

“Play with him” I said motioning to the little boy who was now glaring in the direction of Roux. Sydney had warned us that Cassius was still getting used to the baby, so he was most likely going to be unhappy about anything that involved her.

I watched Ash cross the room and continue playing with the little boy. I could tell immediately that it was a good switch as they both seemed to be having a fun time together. I continued watching the baby and making sure she was okay. If I can say anything about Dom and Sydney, they make cute kids.

After a little while of messing around, Ash made dinner which was really just her ordering some food for all of us. Once we got Cassius down to eat, I made a bottle for Roux and fed her while we waited for the food to get there. It was mainly me taking care of the baby, while Ash kept Cassius preoccupied.

“We are doing a really nice thing for them.” Ash said as she came back into the room with our food. “Dom and Syd needed a day to themselves.”

“I don’t disagree. I just wish you had warned me ahead of time so I could have prepared myself to be a babysitter tonight. I would have picked a more practical outfit.”

I was wearing a dress that I knew was one of Ash’s favorite. It was perfect when I thought we were going out. Now, not so much.

“I think you look perfect.” The goalkeeper shot me a grin as I smiled softly in her direction.

“I think I look perfect too. Perfect for a night out. Not for babysitting.”

“Look, I am sorry. I should have told you, but it was kind of a last-minute thing. I knew they needed a night to themselves and I just wanted to help out.”

“I know that love…just keep me in the loop next time.” I shot her a soft smile as she gave me quick kiss before giving Cassius his food. Roux started dozing a little, so I put her down for some sleep and then sat down with Ash and Cassius and started eating.

After dinner, Ash got Cassius riled up again and I swear I could’ve killed her for it. He was running around screaming which meant he wasn’t really listening to us. I knew we still needed to give him a bath and get him to bed. Ash’s suggestion was to let himself tire out, but I think she was underestimating how much energy this little boy had.

It was about an hour and a half later when Roux woke up back up.

“I think she needs to be changed.” Ash said holding the baby up with a small grimace on her face.

“Well, then get to it.” I said earning a look of horror from the goalkeeper. “Yeah, it’s all fun and games being an aunt until you have to actually change the baby.”

“But…why can’t you do it?”

“I did it the last two times. Come on. You got this.” I patted the girl on the back as she grimaced. I was keeping my eye on Cassius but couldn’t hide my amusement as I watched the girl try to change Roux’s diaper. She kept looking in my direction clearly asking for help which only caused me to laugh.

“Here give her to me. You make sure he gets ready for his bath.” I said rolling my eyes at the relief that flooded her face. “What a baby…”

She shook her head with a pout as she then moved to get Cassius up and too the bathroom. He looked at her for a moment before running in the opposite direction of the bathroom. I chuckled when my girlfriend took off after him. After changing Roux, I got her back down and settled to go to sleep. I heard the yelling from Cassius cease which told me she finally caught him.

After making sure Roux was okay, I exited the room and walked towards the bathroom. Leaning against the door frame, I watched Ash get Cassius to take his bath. I couldn’t help but let my mind wander to what it would be like if Ash and I had kids. I’d be lying if I said the thought hasn’t crossed my mind before but being here tonight taking care of these kids with her has been really eye opening for me. I definitely want kids with her. She turned to look at me as I shot her soft smile which then turned to an amused one when Cassius splashed her with water.

After his bath and a little more arguing, we finally got him down for bed. We then cleaned up all our trash from earlier and relaxed onto the couch. I laid in Ash’s arms as the goalkeeper softly rubbed my back.

“Today was crazy…” she said as I nodded my head slightly.

“Yeah the things you get us into.”

She gave me a sheepish smile as I leaned forward to give her a kiss. She smiled into it as I laid my head back on her shoulder.

“I want kids.” She said after a moment. “I mean…like not right now, but one day I really want them with you…”

“Me too.” I said as she smiled. “I want to have kids with you.”

She smiled at me as we heard the door open. I turned to see Sydney and Dom come into the room. They were smiling about something as I sat up and waved at them.

“You guys look exhausted.” Sydney joked as she came and sat down on the couch. “Were they crazy?”

“I can totally understand how Cassius is your kid.” I responded getting grins from both of them. “Roux was amazing.”

“Awesome.” Dom said as he also sat onto the couch. “I can’t thank you guys enough for doing this.”

“Our pleasure.” Ash grinned at him. “We were happy to help. Now, I am taking this one home so we can sleep a little. Cause…I need a nap after all this fun”

“Same.” I said letting myself be pulled up by my girlfriend. “Bye guys.”

“Bye. Thank you.” Sydney said as we exited the house.

It didn’t take us long to get home and settled into bed. I was once again laying in Ash’s arms as both of us started dozing. I knew it had been a crazy day and was only a glimpse at what our future could be, but I knew that it was definitely something I wanted more than anything.

The End.
