fourteen.

present.

IT WAS JUST earlier that evening when Joseph said that the Clinic said that the results will be out in a few days and they won't be able to rush.

Leo then made the choice by going back to his family in Barcelona and decided he will come back once the results are ready.

he had to get back to his wife and tell her the truth. all of it. he didn't want to keep her in the dark or let her find out by someone else.

as Leo were filling his luggage in the car , his mother looked at him with a small smile. "are you going to come back?" Celia askes her son

Leo nodded his head and the bodygaurd shut the trunk. "i have to,  but for now i have to go tell Antonella and train for Thursday's match" he said.

they nodded their heads in understanding. even though he has a lot on his mind right now , they knew he won't stop playing the game he loves so much.

Leo went over and kissed his mom on the forehead and hugged his dad. "be safe , Leo" Celia said and he smiled. "will be" he said.

"and call us when you're there" Jorge said. Leo nodded his head , climbed into the car and drove off towards the airport.

he had no time to waste and thought about what he's going to say to his wife and how he's going to.

"Mr Messi , we're here" his bodyguard said. Leo climbed out of the car and saw that they were in a secluded place with his jet standing in the far corner.

the bodyguard helped him onto the jet and Leo thanked him. he got comfortable in the seat once they were about to take off.

he felt his eyelids closing as he thought about how a rollercoaster his life was.

♠︎♠︎♠︎

Leo sat in the black SUV as it drove towards his house where his family was. he didn't let Antonella know that he was coming so he knew this was going to be a surprise for her.

but the sooner he tells her about it , the better.

they finally arrive in the driveway of his house. he exited the car and his bofygaurd helped to take his luggage to the door.

suddenly , the big brown door of his house opened and three little people came outside , running towards him.

"papa!" they yelled and he laughed as they attacked him. he bent down and kissed them all on the forehead. his dog came out of the door and pushed them all out of the way to lick Leo's face.

they all laughed at the dog's antics and Leo petted and played with him.

"Mr Leo...all set" the bodyguard said. Leo nodded his head with a smile and the bodyguard nodded his head , climbed into the car and drove off.

Antonella stood by the door and Leo smiled once he saw his wife. he went towards her and opened his arms to hug her , which he did.

"hi , mi amor" she said and he pulled away and gave her a look. "no kiss , huh?" he asked ad she playfully rolled her eyes 

"i saw you were kissed by the dog first" she said and he pouted. she smiled and he kissed her forehead before walking in with her.

"why didn't you tell me you were coming?" she asked and he sat behind the counter. "it was an impulsive decision. and i missed you guys" he said.

he yawned and realised he was super tired. he couldn't sleep properly after finding out that he may have a daughter. he hoped he would sleep better next to his wife.

The kids came inside. "where is abuela?" Thiago asked. "at home , Thiago. she said she misses you all" he said and they all smiled .

"hungry?" Antonella asked and he shook his head. his wife rolled her eyes and put a plate with a piece of chicken pie right in front of him.

"eat up, amor" she said. he looked at the plate. if it was any other day , Leo would have devoured that piece of pie like his life depended on it.

but not today. not until he found out the truth and tell his wife. Leo looked up from his seat and saw his wife's smile falter.

Instantly ,guilt overtook him and he looked at his sons. "why don't you guys put on the playstation and we'll play FIFA?" he asked.

"yes!" Thiago said and they all ran towards the livingroom. Antonella gave him a look.

Leo sighed and took her hand. "come with me" he said and led her upstairs. he knew he wouldn't have to worry about his children or their safety.

Antonella turned to look at him. "what's going on?" she asked and he sighed as he sat on the bed.

"i have something to tell you..."
