Could it be love at first sight?

Chapter 12

FINAL DAY!
Today is the day of the final, the day after the romantic evening, all the lads got back into training and it's been a week. They've worked so hard, everyone is so excited and proud of them.
The boys come and see the families before the match, Jack hugs Sophie so tightly, she can tell he's really nervous. She whispers to him "baby, win or lose today, I am so proud of you and Summer is proud of her daddy. You've done so well. I love you always and forever" he smiles and thanks her, Summer comes running over and says "Love you daddy" he grins and hugs her tight, "I love you too baby, are you gonna be daddy's loudest supporter" she laughs and says "yeah daddy" soon that's followed by "don't forget your uncles too" turning around they see Dec, Mase,Ben and Jordan walking over. Sophie hugs them and wishes them all luck. Jordan says "time to go lads" they're all so nervous, Lauren and Becca come over and join Sophie and Summer. Baby Jude is asleep, in the pram. Sophie looks at the girls and says "if this goes the wrong way it will crush them all" the girls nod and agree with her. "We'll get them through it Soph" Becca reassures her.
Sophie's dreading it, she's new to all this and has no idea how to help if they don't win. When walking to the stands, they see Karen and Kevin. Sophie tells all her worries to Karen, she is amazing at reassuring Sophie that no matter what happens, her and Summer are all Jack needs to help him through.
The first half finishes at 1-1, the other team are hard to beat but we all have confidence in the boys. The second half starts up and by the 75th minute they're losing 2-1, then 10 minutes later, Sophie's world crashes down, when she sees Jack fouled badly. He's on the floor and not getting up. She sees all the lads run to him as the ref signals the medics. Sophie's watching on, tears falling down her face, she can hear voices around her but she can't focus on anything else but Jack. She feels someone take Summer out of her hands, she looks up and it's Becca. She hears Becca say "Come on Summer let's get some juice." Karen thanks Becca for taking Summer away, as Sophie's eyes refocus she see's Jack being stretchered off, then sees how broken the boys faces are, all of a sudden Sophie shouts "NOO" as her falling tears turn to sobs. She feels Lauren and Karen's arms around her, comforting her then Jack is gone out of sight. Kevin has gone to speak to someone to see what's happening.
Once Sophie's stopped crying, Summers back and says "mummy where's daddy, he not there" and Sophie knows she needs to explain so she takes a deep breath and says "Summer baby, daddy's legs got really tired and he fell over, so he's resting them to make him feel better" Summer giggles and says "Daddy needs a nap." Sophie nods and feels tears burn her eyes, then the heartbreak happens over again as the whistle blows and England lost. Everyone is deflated, Kevin comes back and says "Soph, love, Jack wants to see you" Sophie's eyes widen and say "where do I go? Are you okay to look after Summer?" Kevin giggles "course we'll have Summer, go down the steps and a staff member will take you. Go get him." Sophie sprints through the stand and down the stairs.
Sophie POV:
My heart is beating so fast, the lady pointed me to the door, the tears still streaming down my face. I open the door and Jacks sitting there. He opens his arms and says "come 'ere babe" I run to his arms and hug him. "What have they said baby" I ask, he smiles and says "I'll be okay, carrying me off was a precaution as they thought I landed on my neck but I didn't, a few bruises and headaches for a few days but I've got pain relief. I'll be okay. How are you?" I look at him and say "I don't matter here babe, has anyone told you the match outcome?" I question as I know he'll be heartbroken. He shakes his head and says "no, but the fact you're not jumping for joy and it's quite quiet, we didn't do it did we" he says looking at the floor, i take him in my arms and hold him "no baby, they didn't. Im sorry" I say and he's quiet then says "I heard you" I look at him confused as he then explains "as I was coming off the pitch I heard your scream and cries, it broke my heart. I needed you to know I was okay. Summer didn't see did she?" I shake my head "no Becca took her inside to get juice as soon as we saw the medics go over, when she came back she asked why daddy wasn't on the pitch. I told her your legs got tired and she thought I meant you'd gone for a nap" I say and he bursts out laughing, he stops and smiles then says "I may not have won the Euros, but I won with you and Summer and that's better than any trophy" I grin and kiss him, he then is told to go with the others to collect the medals.
I head back to the stand, Karen and Kevin ask and I explain that he's okay. As we watch him walk back on the pitch the crowd goes wild and cheers, all the boys run over to him and they hug, all still absolutely heartbroken about the result. As he gets given his medal he waves and smiles to us and Summer gets so excited that daddy has medal.
We head into the main room, for the last time, Summer runs over to Jack and he picks her up swinging her around. The boys are heartbroken still, but they seem in better spirits, and they should be so proud of themselves.
After we head back to the hotel room, Jack puts Summer to bed while I shower, before I get in I hear him talking to her. 'I love you Summer, you and your mummy are the best thing to ever happen to me. And I may not have won the trophy today, but you are better than any trophy, being your daddy is the best prize ever. I'm going to be here for you always, and I'm going to love your mummy forever and ever. You two are my world, and I don't think your mummy will ever know just how much she saved me, she saved daddy from himself. You have no idea what daddy is saying do you princess. One day when you're older it'll all make sense, not that daddy's letting you get a boyfriend until you're really old' he giggles at the last bit.
Jack gets in the shower after me, and I decide to surprise him, when he gets out I've got a very sexy lingerie set on. "Fucking hell soph, ya look fucking sexy in that" Jack says as he drops his towel and walks over kissing me deeply with urgency. We finish the night perfectly.
