꧁ Hero's POV ꧂

Here I am, in a flight with the entire England team. Yeah I'm a official player of the national team. I still get chills just thinking about it.
Playing for my country makes me feel even more proud of myself.

We are now headed to London where I left my family.
It been 5 days but I miss Josephine like air.

Leaving her now it's getting harder and harder but I signed a contract and I can't stay at home just because I want to stay next to my girl, now I have a huge team that count on me but I also have a literal family that I have to leave almost every week.
I have so much weight on my shoulders but I like this weight. Finally I'm feeling accomplished in my life.

Even Jo has a lot of weight on her shoulders further than carrying out baby boy for nine months the weight of making sure to be prepared to that day when she will have to feed, change and bath our baby.

I feel so guilty when I leave London or the country because I know in how much pain she is. My sister told me that she breaks down sometimes in a cry because of the back pain, because of the weight of her belly, her tiredness... but she never breaks down in front of me. She doesn't want me to worry even more about her.
She's a strong woman and I just can try to immagine how exhausting this pregnancy is for her.

The pregnancy is still a secret thing to the public.
She doesn't go out now also because she gets so tired easily so quick now that we're so far though the pregnancy. I'm so glad that is still a secret because I'm so sure that if it was a public thing I'll not be able to leave town knowing that she's literally getting stalked by the paparazzi, not in this conditions where she has all her hormones playing with her.
She's already stressed and the last thing she needs are stalkers.

Being in the Chelsea is a dream come true but I didn't thought that when I signed the contract there were included a package of 50 paparazzi.

Finally I see her face light up the screen.

"Hello my love." I tell her while she's still laid on the bed hugging the pregnancy pillow that helps her to sleep comfortably when I'm not there.
"Hello." she says with her little asleep voice, with her eyes still closed.
"How are you feeling today?" I ask whispering noticing that Kalvin is sleeping right next to me.
"Tired. In how many hours you will be here?" she asks opening a bit her eyes.
"In like five hours?" I say thinking also about the drive time from the airport to home.
"Good, I've missed you so much." she says without hiding the sadness in her eyes.
"I missed you more babe." I tell her showing her a pouty face.
"Aw." she says staring at me through the display.
"Babe, you were formidable last night by the way." she tells me for the third time.
I smile happy to make her proud of me almost every time I get to be in the field.
"Thanks babe." I tell her and I see her waving so I turn back and I see Mason waving to the screen while he's going to the toilet.

She knows the whole team now that we face time at least four times a day and she got to talk to every of them..

"Alright, I'm letting you sleep that tomorrow morning we have the doctor's appointment." I tell her while I'm watching her snuggling with the pregnancy pillow.
"I can't sleep!" she says exhausted and so annoyed almost yelling at me.

These are the hormones playing with her.

"I'm so sorry baby, let's do a thing, just try close your eyes and we will talk till you fall asleep." I tell her so she does what I say.
She closed her eyes and o can already see her face muscles relax.
"Thank you babe. I can't wait to cuddle with you." she says with her eyes still closed with a lower voice tone. That's a good sign.
"Isn't the pillow enough to don't need me anymore?" I joke and I see a hint of smile on her lips.
"You dumbass, I could never replace you with no one, even with the comfiest pregnancy pillow." she says making me smile.
