I hate not playing with Christen.
Once at Old Trafford, the bus parks then everyone gets off and heads to the locker room.
When we get to the locker room everyone puts their stuff down in their respective lockers.
Once my stuff is in my locker, my teammates and I head outside for the pitch inspection.
After we've inspected the pitch, my teammates and I head back to the locker room.
When I get to my locker I take my AirPods out, I take out my nose ring, and I take off my necklaces and my rings, then I put my jewelry and AirPods in my bag.
Once I'm jewelry free I take off my tracksuit then I put on my warm up top and my game shorts.
I then sit down in my locker and put on my socks, my shin pads and my red boots.
After my boots are on I wait for Christen to do Talia's hair, then, once she's done with Talia's hair, I sit down on the floor in-between Christen's legs to let her do my hair.
"Hi Nara." My favorite Tattoo'd forward says.
"Hi Chrissy." I say then I relax, face forward, and let Christen do her thing.
Christen runs her fingers through my hair for a little bit then she puts my hair into a pony tail just like I like it.
"Thanks." I say then I hug one of Christen's legs.
"No problem." Christen says then she tilts my head back and pecks my lips.
After our kiss, I get up, walk out of the locker room, and head onto the field with the outfield players
When I get on the pitch I run through my warm ups with the starters for a while then we head back to the locker room.
Once in the locker room I change out of the training top and change into my red jersey while Cairo does her last minute talks.
When the last minute talks end, we are told to head to the tunnel so Nalu and I do as told.
Once in the tunnel, I line-up right behind Emma then I wait for us to be called out.
Right before we head onto the pitch, I step out of line, walk to the front then I stand in front of the captain and face her.
"Hey Juice." Emma says with a smile.
"Hi." I say then I hug the keeper
Emma and I hug for a few seconds then I get back in line behind her.
Minutes later we are told to head out onto the field for the prematch stuff so I follow my favorite keeper out onto the field.
Once on the field we stand in line for the English anthem then myself, most of the ladies in the starting XI, and most of the ladies on the bench kneel for our anthem.
When our anthem finishes, we stand up then we shake hands with the English players.
After we shake hands, we take a starting XI picture, Emma does the coin toss, then I lead Nalu to the bench.
"Stay here." I say
Nalu yips and smiles at me so I scratch her head then jog to my position on the field.
Once on the field, I look up in the stands in search of my kids.
When I find my kids, I wave and blow them a kiss then I catch the kisses they send me.
After I catch the kisses, I let out a deep breath then I look at my wife on the sideline.
"You got this Baby." Christen says. "You got this."

"Hi pretty girl." I coo at the bundled up baby in Leah's arms. "Did you enjoy the game?"
Talia and Leah's daughter Kaia burbles at me then she smiles.
"I guess so." I say then Talia brings over Zaire. "More babies."
Talia and Leah chuckle as I fawn over their babies.
"Uh oh." Talia says.
"What?" I ask.
"I think you have an issue."
"What do you mean?" I ask then Talia points behind me so I turn around and see my kids pouting on the other side of the field while Christen's trying to cheer them up. "Excuse me."
After I excuse myself, I walk across the field to my family.
When I get to my family, I squat next to Christen.
The moments my kids see me, they turn away from me.
I quizzically look at Christen then she sighs and ghosts her lips over my ear.
"They're jealous you were fawning over Talia and Leah's twins." Christen whispers
"Oh." I say then I unzip the twins' backpack and pull out their favorite snack. "Well I guess I'll just eat these goldfish all by myself."
"Hey." My kids say then they plop themselves in my lap.
"Don't hog them." Zoi says.
"Oh alright." I say then I share the snack with my kids. "Can you two tell Mama and I what's got you upset."
"You don't love us." João sadly says.
"João I love you and Zoi so so much." I say.
"Why do you think Mommy doesn't love you two?" Christen ask.
"Replace us." Zoi says as she points to Talia and Leah's twins.
"Baby I could never replace you two." I say. "I just haven't met Talia and Leah's twins yet and I wanted to meet them."
"You two will always be the most important people in our lives." Christen says. "Until we have more kids then all of you will be the most important people in our lives."
"You love us?" João asks then he and his sister look at Christen and I
"We love you two with our whole hearts." My wife and I say in unison.
"Okay." The twins say then they tag me.
"You're it." Zoi says then she and João run away
"MAMA RUN." João shouts.
"Sorry Nara." My wife says then she runs away with our kids.
"OH NO YOU DON't." I shout then I chase after my family.
As I'm chasing my family across the pitch, I only have one thought on my mind.
I have the perfect life.
