Emma's POV

"You two ready?" I ask as I look at the twins.

"Yes Mama." The twins say.

"Cool." I say then I squat down to their height. "Now Mama needs some sugar."

Hazel and Kingsley smile at me then they run to me and smother me in kisses.

"That's nice." I say with a dopey smile.

"Aww." My wife says as she comes into the room.

"I think Mommy needs some sugar." I whisper.

The twins nod then they run to their Mommy and smother her in kisses before they run to Shadow.

"They look so cute in their little jerseys." Jessie says as we look at our twins.

Hazel and Kingsley are wearing pink Real Miami jersey's with their names on the back.

Tonight's the Challenge Cup Finals and it's at Banc of California stadium.

Jessie and I's team, Real Miami, face Lyon.

Our current club team, Arsenal, beat Sky Blue in the Round of 16 4-1, we beat Portland 3-1 in the quarterfinal, then we lost to Lyon on Penalties.

I got fouled hard in the second half of the semi-finals game and had to come off with Fran replacing me.

Arsenal sold Lydia to Borussia Dortmund who are now in the top flight in Germany.

We haven't gotten a new back up keeper yet, but Alex said she's looking at all the available options.

"We made some cute kids." I say.

"Yeah we did." Jessie says with a smile then she kisses me.

As I'm kissing my wife, Shadow starts to whine.

"You're cute too Shadow." I say causing Shadow to immediately stop whining.

"Let's get going." My wife says.

I nod then I grab my things and follow Shadow, my wife, and our kids out of the hotel room and down to the lobby.

Once we're in the lobby we meet up with our teammates who wanna watch the game then we all walk down the street to the stadium.

When we get to the stadium, we meet up with Preathlex, Charlie, Ash, and Ali, then we head into the owners entrance and head up to the box I have reserved for the game.

"Mama I'm hungry." Kingsley says.

"Well Baby boy." I say then I pick up my favorite little man. "Watcha wanna eat?"

"Well..." Kingsley says as I notice Jessie pick up Hazel.

Once our kids are in our arms, My wife and I help them pick out their food while we do the same.

After my family and I have our food, and some food for Shadow, we grab drinks then head out to our seats.

"Looks like we missed warm ups." I say when I see both teams coming onto the field for the pre game.

"Dat our team Mommy?" Hazel asks and points to the Real Miami ladies

"That is our team Babygirl." Jessie says.

"Here Mama." Kingsley says then he feeds me a chicken nugget.

"Thanks Bubba." I say.

Kingsley smiles then he, Jessie, Hazel, and I eat our food in silence as we watch the game.

Once we finish eating, Ash takes my family's trash then I focus on the game until I notice who's on the video board.

"Look Babies." I say then I point to the video board

Hazel and Kingsley look where I'm pointing and see themselves then they smile and wave.

"Hey Emma." Beth says from behind me.

"Yeah?" I say and look at the English woman.

"Are you and Jessie ever gonna play for Miami?"

"I don't know." I say. "Jessie and I haven't really spoken about it."

"We'll probably decide our future after the Paris Olympics." Jessie says.

We're lying.

We're gonna talk to the kids about what they wanna do, but as of right now Jessie and I's plan is to play for Arsenal until the kids reach the age where they'll start school then we will come back to America and play for Real Miami.

"Is your house done being built?" Jordan asks.

"Yeah." I say. "It finished after the second group game."

"Have you seen it?" Ali asks.

"Mhmm." Jessie says. "Its Perfect."

"It really is." I say as I watch one of the Real Miami forwards running towards goal.

Moments later I watch as the Real Miami leading goalscorer buries the ball past the Lyon keeper in the 44th minute.

"Finally." I say as everyone in the stadium cheers.

"YAY." Hazel and Kingsley cheer.

Jessie and I smile at each other then we hold our kids so they don't fall as they celebrate.

"I can't believe your kids are two years old." Jordan says.

"Join the club." I say as the teams head in for halftime.

"They're growing up way too fast." Jessie says.

"You can say that again." Christen, Tobin, and Alex say in unison.

"Who would've ever thought the three of us would have been the first to have kids." Ash says as I watch Hazel and Kingsley pet Shadow.

"Well you two and Preathlex I could've guessed would've been the first two." I say.

"Mama?" Hazel says.

"Yes Princess?" I say.

"Can I see cousins?" Hazel questions then she points to Ash and Ali's kids.

"Me too." Kingsley says.

"Ash?" I question.

Ash and Ali nod so the kids stand next to me and look at Avery, Athena, and Apollo.

"Auntie Ali they look like you." Hazel says as she looks at Avery and Athena.

"That's cause they're my daughters."

"Mommy." Kingsley says.

"Yes Baby?" Jessie says.

"I want one." Kingsley says and points to Apollo.

Ah shit.

"One day Kingsley." My wife says.

Thankfully Kingsley accepts that answer then he and his sister come back to my wife and I and climb into our laps.

Once the kids are in our laps they wrap their arms around our bodies and fall asleep.

"I guess it was nap time." I say then I kiss Hazel's head.

"I wish I was able to nap in random places." Jordan says.

"Don't act like you don't already." Leah says. "You've literally fallen asleep at a football match."

"Multiple matches." I say.

"No need to bury me." Jordan mumbles then I nudge my wife.

"Do you have my medicine?" I ask.

Jessie nods then she hands me my medicine.

"Stupid pills." I mumble then I take my multitude of pills.

"How long do you have to take those?" Christen asks.

"Some for a few years." I say. "But some for the rest of my life."

"Well that sucks."

"Yes." I say. "Yes it does."
