6 MONTHS LATER

Amelia had been feeling ill for days, but she didn't let anyone know. She was determined to continue training for Chelsea's upcoming match against Liverpool. Kai, her husband, was worried about her but didn't want to interfere. He knew how seriously she was taking the game.

"Schatz, are you sure your fit enough to go in?" Kai asks, making sure Amelia is feeling physically fine enough to go to training. "I'm fine, Kai. Don't worry because you worrying is stressing me." Amelia says, placing her hands on Kai's arms. The german takes a deep breathe and relaxes under the touch of Amelia. "You're right. Come on, lets go to training." Kai smiles before the pair gently hug.

Isabella was staying with the sitter for the day and the three year old was already too busy playing to notice her parents had left for work. "Will you let me know if you feel like you're going to be sick or pass out?" Kai says to Amelia as the couple drove towards Cobham. "I will. Now, stop threating." Amelia smiles, reassuring Kai everything is fine when really it wasn't.

As the day went on, Amelia's condition quickly worsened. The brunette she felt even more unusually fatigued and light-headed. She was struggling to keep up with the other players during training, and her stamina had drastically decreased. Nonetheless, she continued to push through the fatigue and nausea, convinced that it was simply a result of her rigorous training schedule.

"Amelia, are you okay? You seem really pale. Do you want me to get Kai?" Conor jogs over to the girl as she grabs onto his shoulder to steady herself. Instead of responding, she suddenly collapsed on the field during training. More concerned teammates rushed to her aid, and Kai was called to the scene. As he held his wife, he noticed something strange. Her stomach was slightly protruding, and he had a hunch as to what it could mean.

"Right, the ambulance is on its way. Someone get a wet towel or something and lay it across her forehead. It'll simply maintain her normal body temperature." Intrim manager, Frank Lampard, says. Ruben runs inside to get a wet towel before returning and handing it to Kepa who lays it carefully on her forehead

After rushing Amelia to the hospital, the doctors ran some quick tests as Kai sat with Amelia in her room. "You're going to be fine. The doctors will work out what's wrong with you." Kai reassures Amelia as she tiredly nods. "I dunno what happened. I felt fine this morning but then I just passed out." Amelia frowns as Kai takes her hand into his and gently rubs his thumb across it.

"Right, Amelia. Everything seems normal except for your HCG. That's high." The doctor says, entering the room and closing the curtain behind him. "I'm sorry? My what is high?" Amelia asks, not under standing what the doctor is saying. "Your HCG levels. It's used to detect pregnancy." the doctor says. "So? what are you saying?" Kai asks, joining in the conversation. "Congratulations! Youse are expecting a baby next year." the doctor smiles as Amelia sits in shock.

The pair had discussed a second baby but they didn't expect it to be 6 months after their wedding. "How...how far am I?" Amelia asks, letting the state of shock leave her body as she begins to comprehend the news. "You're 3 months along. Did you not know?" The doctor frows his eyebrows at the couple. "No. No, I didn't. Oh my god, I've been playing football while pregnant." Amelia says as she lays her head back against the pillow. "That's okay. Now you know, you know to take the necessary precautions." the doctor smiles before leaving the room.

"That was unexpected." Kai breathes as Amelia looks at him. "I didn't even know. I've been pushing myself so much to stay on form. I didn't even know I was pregnant." Amelia says. "It's okay, Amelia. Atleast you didn't get a serious injury." Kai reassured her as he placed a kiss on her lips.

Amelia was stunned but overjoyed. She had been trying to conceive a second child for several months, and she was beyond thrilled that it had finally happened. However, she was also acutely aware of the implications that this news held for her career.

While she knew that she needed to rest and take care of her body, she also didn't want to let her teammates down. She had been preparing for this match for weeks and was determined to play her part in securing a win for Chelsea.

MATCH DAY

In the end, Amelia decided to step down from the match. She knew that it was the right decision for both her and her unborn child but she and kai didn't have any intention on telling their teammates and keeping it to themselves this time round. "Uh, guys. I have something to say." Amelia takes a deep breathe as she speaks up once Frank finished the team meeting in the dressing room. "Oh, what's up Lia? Is it to do with the other day?" Mason being the first one to ask. Amelia simply nods before taking a deep breathe. Kai stands beside his wife and places an arm around her shoulder.

"So, as you may be aware of the situation the other day. I felt that for the sake of my health that I would sit the next few games or so months out." Amelia says, building up to the news. "A few games? Long time to be out just for a collapse." Ben chimes in as Amelia smiles. "Well, It's always best to be safe than sorry." the brunette girl says.

AFTER THE MATCH

Following the match which Chelsea won 2-1, the team headed back to their hotel. Only a few decided to watch the entertainment of offer that night in the hotel while the rest had a chill night in their hotel rooms.

In Amelia and Kai's room, the british girl already was asleep on Kai's chest with the german boy having his arm around her. The german was watching a show on ITV when the group chat decided to become active
