Izzy's POV
"You look dead."
"It feels like I am." I groan out as I place my head on the desk. "I'm so tired."
"The game is about to start." Claire says and I look up. "It's on the tv, take a break and go eat the donuts Justin brought. Get some coffee."
"I think I will. A twelve hour shift is not the move."
"Go." Claire says and I nod.
"Thanks."
I pat her shoulder as I make my way to the break room to grab a donut.
I look up at the TV. Spain vs USA.
"Star forwards Alex Morgan and Christen Press are starting together. We don't get to see that often but when we do you know it'll be a good game."
I smile as I see Alex, Tobin and Christen all on the pitch.
I take a bite of my maple bar and take a sip of my tea.
"Let's go girls."

I walk inside the house, setting the twins down as they walk to the couch. I drop my bag on the floor as I hang my jacket on the rack. Taking my shoes off as I slip my slides on.
"Christen? Are you home?" I say as I set down the keys. "I need wine, vodka. Anything."
I let my hair down as I grab a glass from the cabinet. Grabbing a bottle of wine, filling my glass up.
"I love my job, I love my job." I mumble as I'm about to take a sip of my wine. "Maybe she went out with the team."
"AHH." I hear the twins scream.
I set my wine glass down not being able to take a sip as I run to the living room, the boys running over to me as they hide behind my legs.
"What? What is it?" I ask as I grab the rolling pin from the counter.
"Big, monsters." Asher says.
"People?" I ask and they both nod. "Great just what I needed, okay just stay behind mommy okay?"
"Otay."
I walk further out when suddenly the lights turn on, raising the rolling pin.
"And this is the house." Christen says.
"Christen?"
"Bella? Baby what are you doing with the rolling pin?"
"Making pasta."
"No you weren't." Christen says.
"I wasn't no, the boys here saw people and I didn't see your car so yeah." I say.
"Cute, you'd beat up a person with a rolling pin." Christen says as she walks over to me, pecking my lips.
"Hey, Rapunzel has her pan and I have my rolling pin."
"Cute, very cute."
I look behind Christen and I see three women. I recognize them, I think. My brain tries to remember then it finally clicks.
"Oh my god. Alexia, Jenni and Mapi. Am I right?" I ask and they nod. "Nice."
"Christen this is your wife?" Jenni asks.
"She is, this is my wife."
"Mucho gusto conocerte." Jenni says. Nice to meet you. "Oh come here for a hug." Jenni pulls me into her as she gives me a big hug.
"Si mucho gusto conocerte." Alexia says.
"El placer es todo mío." I say. The pleasure is all mine.
"Finally meeting the one who had the guts to marry Christen." Mapi says and I snort.
"Damn babe, she's right." I say.
"Mommy." Asher whispers.
"Yours?" Jenni asks Christen.
"No the neighbors but don't tell Christen." I say with a laugh.
"Ha ha very funny. Those two little ones are my babies." Christen says and I smile.
"Boys say hi to mama's friends." I pat their backs as I look behind me.
Their heads peak out from behind me as they wave at the three women.
"Hi."
"They're adorable." Alexia says.
"Have any of you had food yet?" I ask and they all shake their heads. "I'll make dinner, please go take a seat."
"Come on you two." Christen says as she grabs the twins.
I make my way to the kitchen, my wine long forgotten as I start to make dinner.
"Do you need help?" Christen asks as she comes back to the kitchen.
"No I got it." I say as I cut the veggies. "Where are the twins?"
"You know how they are, Ashton is with Jenni, and Asher is with Alexia and Mapi. Wild with wild and calm with semi calm." Christen says and I laugh.
I rinse the potatoes and head back to the cutting board. I start cutting the potatoes when I feel hands going under my shirt and under my bra.
"Christen. What are you doing. Hands off." I say as I try and kick her leg.
"Quick. Right here." Christen whispers as she squeezes my boobs. I bite my lip as I continue cutting the potatoes.
"Christen behave we have company."
"Come on baby, quick." Christen whispers in my ear as she presses herself against me. "Please."
"Christen hands off now."
"You're going to be the death of me." Christen groans as she takes her hands out from underneath my shirt.
"If you were to behave maybe just maybe I'd let you but since you so badly want to when we have company and our kids are in the living room, no you won't be getting anything tonight."
"Not even a little h-."
"Oh babe you're not getting anything tonight." I say with a chuckle, I turn around to kiss her cheek. "So horny."
"Can you blame me?"
"Go offer the girls water or something to drink. Oh and give the twins their juice it's in the bag."
"Yes dear."
Half an hour later I finish dinner and walk to the living room.
"Dinner is ready, come eat."
They all walk to the table as I set down the plates.
"I made grilled chicken with a salad and some bread. I also made pasta if anyones interested." I say.
"Leave Christen and marry me." Mapi says and I giggle.
"I'd feel bad for Christen." I whisper.
"Mm remind me to never invite any of you back to my house." Christen says and I laugh.
"I'm kidding. I love you."
"It's a good thing Christen married someone who can cook because she can't cook." Jenni says and I look at Christen.
"Oh yeah, I know."
"You make delicious food, lucky Christen." Jenni says and I smile.
"Mommy." The twins shout.
"I made mashed potatoes for my favorite boys."
I walk to the kitchen counter as I grab their small bowls.
"Yum yum." I say as I sit in front of them. "So any stories you'd like to share? I'd like to hear all of them."
"Oh I have plenty."
"Oh no."
"I'm listening."
