Aspen's POV

"WE'RE HERE." Someone shouts so I put my pre-game playlist on and turn my music up in my AirPods.

When we stop outside Lincoln Financial Field, I stand up, button the top button on my purple suit, grab my leather duffle bag, then I follow my teammates off our bus and down to our locker room.

We play Philly tonight in Philadelphia for our week 5 game.

We're 4-0 on the season after beating the Texans, Packers, Lions, and Jaguars.

Once in our locker, I head to my locker then I put my duffle in my locker, hang up my suit jacket, and take off my rings.

After I take my rings off, I grab my pink sports bra, my undershirt my compression shorts, and my shorts then I head to the bathroom area of the locker room and step into one of the toilet stalls.

Once in the toilet stall, I take off the rest of my suit and my boxers then I put on my compression shorts, my sports bra, my short, and my undershirt.

I then grab the suit stuff I wore, return to my locker, and hang my suit up in my locker.

After my suit is hung up, I put my hair up into a bun/ponytail style thing then I grab a ball and head out to the field.

Once on the field, I take a quick look around the stadium then I walk around the field while playing catch with the fans.

After I complete one lap of the stadium while playing catch, I hand the ball off to one of the equipment people then I head back into the locker room.

When I get back in the locker room I head to my locker then I take off my shorts and put on my football pants first, with my right leg going in before my left leg.

After my pants are on, I sit down in the chair in front of my locker then I put on my right sock, my left sock, my right cleat, and my left cleat in that order.

Once the bottom half of me is ready, I put my right arm sleeve on, then my left arm sleeve on, then I put on my headband.

When that's done I put my shoulder pads and white jersey on with my right arm going in before my left, then I put on my helmet and follow my team out onto the field.

Once on the field, my teammates and I run through our stretches, our warmups, and our pre-game play running then we head back into the locker room for a quick chat from the coaches while we get a some fluids in us.

When told to, I follow my team out of our locker, down the tunnel, and onto the field.

After everyone is on the field, the national anthem begins so I drop down to a knee then I stay there for the duration of the anthem

When the anthem ends, Will and I throw to each other to warm up while the coin toss is happening.

Once the coin toss ends, I sit down with Will, Colt, and the QB coach on the bench and relax as we kick off.

"I hate Thursday night games." I say.

"I think everyone does" Coach Doug says.

"Aspen why does that lady keep looking over here?" Colt asks then I look at who he's talking about.

"Because I talked shit about her." I say as I look at Carli Lloyd.

"Why?" Colt asks.

"She thought she was good enough to kick in the NFL and I told her that in no uncertain terms she would be destroyed if she tried it." I say.

I also may have had some choice words for Ms. Lloyd after she tweet she doesn't have white privilege and that white privilege doesn't exist.

And I may or may not have had some words for her when she sent some fucked up messages to my friend Talia after Talia cut Kelley O'Hara out of her life.

"Is she a bitch?"

"Yes she is Colt." I say as I turn and face the field. "Yes she is."

"Finally." I mumble as I walk in to my home at 4:30 in the morning.

We beat the Eagles 44-28 then after the game we quickly showered, changed, then flew home.

Once we landed in Frisco, I got in my car, got food for myself from Whataburger, the only thing open at 4:30 in the morning, and I got milkshakes for the rest of my family to have later today.

"Home sweet Home." I say then I walk into the kitchen and set my food down on the island before I put the milkshakes in the fridge.

"Aspy." I hear Jessie say then I feel my Canadian crash into me.

"Hello Freckles." I say then I turn and kiss my wife. "You're up early."

"You know we can't sleep until we know you're home." Emma says as she walks into the kitchen.

I nod then I kiss my keeper.

"I brought you two some milkshakes." I say and motion to the fridge.

"Yay." Jessie cheers then she and Emma grab their milkshakes while I sit down at the island and pull out my food.

As I take my first bite, my ladies sit on the island on either side of me.

"Do you two not have practice tomorrow?" I ask. "Or I guess today."

"Possibly Later tonight." Emma says.

"Oh yeah it's supposed to rain soon." I say then I eat some of my burger.

"You played great last night." Jessie says.

"Thanks." I say then I look at Emma. "You're favorite teammate ever was at the game."

"I saw she was there." Emma says as she rolls her eyes.

I chuckle at my wife then I eat some more of my food.

"You don't eat me like that." Jessie mumbles.

"Baby I eat you like you are the last meal on earth." I say. "I'd hope I don't eat you the way I eat food."

Jessie blushes then she sips on her milkshake.

"How are you horny at 5 in the morning?" I ask.

"Well." Jessie says then she and Emma look at each other.

"What?" I ask then Emma hands me a sandwich bag with 5 white things inside it.

I take the bag from my wife then I look at the bag.

"Pregnant...Pregnant...Pregnant...Pregnant...Pregnant." I mumble then I look up at Jessie. "You're pregnant?"

"I am." Jessie says with a smile.

"You're gonna miss the world cup." I say.

"Meh." Jessie says then she shrugs. "Who cares?"

"Do you know when you're due?" I ask.

"We went to the doctor today and she said May 27, 2023." Jessie says.

"Yay." I softly cheer.

"She also said that legally they have to know who's the other parent." Emma says.

"How does that work?" I ask then my wives explain the process. "So it's not gonna hurt our baby or babies?"

"Nope." My ladies say.

"Good." I say then I softly smile. "We're gonna have a baby."

"Yes we are Aspy." Jessie says as she plays with my rainbow hair. "Yes we are."
