[GxG] Alex Morgan- This One Hurts

Y/N's POV:

Today I was going to watch my girlfriend take on Sweden in the World Cup round of 16 stage. Her team had a fairly rough group stage and hadn't lived up to their expectations thus far but I was confident in Alex and team mates to get through to the quarter finals.

We met over 8 years ago and since then she had become a World Champion twice, we had gotten married and had a daughter called Charlie, through IVF of course. 

Me and Charlie sat here in the stands now hoping we could cheer Alex through to a third consecutive World Cup. She led her team out proudly and blew us both a kiss before the game started, making Charlie giggle as I blushed myself a little.

The 90 minutes has concluded and neither team had scored a goal yet so it went to extra time. Vlatko the head coach took Alex off during extra time making me groan, she needed to stay on for the pens what was he thinking?? As soon as Alex left the pitch the team lost a sense of cohesion and had no real opportunities to get the ball in the back of the net.

Fuck fuck fuck I thought as the ref blew the whistle for penalties. I watched on with Charlie as players from both sides missed crucial penalties, and in the end Sweden managed to sneak in and win the game. I was devastated for Alex, I knew how much this meant to her and how she would blame herself for the team's loss. I scanned the field to find where she was within the commotion and saw her hugging some team mates. She looked around for me and as our eyes met I noticed the tears that filled them, making my heart feel sick.

At the earliest opportunity she hurried over to the family section. I handed her Charlie and watched on as she hugged her tightly and pecked her cheek. Then Alex handed our daughter to my sister next to me and quickly engulfed me in a tight hug. I rubbed her back and she cried harder into my shoulder. 

"Alex look at me", I cradled her head in my hands and stared into her watery red eyes. "I know this hurts baby, but I'm still so proud of you okay, me and Charlie both are", I told her as my own tears started to build. She sniffed quietly and buried her head into the crook of my neck once again and she slowly calmed down. 

Then one of her coaches came to call her over for media interviews. "I don't want to go Y/N", she pleaded with soft eyes. I sighed as I knew that wasn't an option. 

"We'll see you back at the hotel okay Alex", I told her with an aching heart. She hung her head low as she began to walk away. "Wait", I quickly grabbed her wrist and bought her back to me. I quickly kissed her and told her to walk with her head up. She gave me the slightest smile and a small nod and I watched as her figure drifted away down the field.

Alex texted me she'd be back soon so I put Charlie to sleep, laying her in the middle of the big bed. I couldn't wait to finally spend a night with Alex, for the past couple of weeks she's had to spend her nights at their team hotel and despite her efforts to try and sneak out to come to our hotel she never succeeded.

I finally heard a light knock on the door and went to let her in. I engulfed her in a warm hug, her eyes were still a little puffy but she seemed a little happier than before I guess. She kissed our sleeping daughters head gently and then I led her to the bathroom where I'd filled the tub with relaxing salts and hot water.

I turned her to face me and undressed her slowly and told her to get into the tub. I knelt at her side and massaged her shoulders slowly as she relaxed back into the water.

"Y/N?", she whispered, making me hum. "Get in?", she pleaded quietly. I kissed her cheek and stood up to undress then climbed into the tub in front of her. I leaned back against her and we both let out a relieved sigh as she wrapped her arms around me and closed her eyes. We stayed like that for a while and then eventually got up to shower.

Once we got out and dressed, she sat me on the bathroom counter as I rubbed some night cream into her soft skin. I wrapped my legs around her and once I had applied her moisturiser she wrapped her arms around me once more and peppered my neck with gentle kisses. "I love you", she muttered with her face in my hair. "I love you too..cmon I know you're tired, let's get to bed", I told her with a tired smile, as I led her to our bed quietly, trying not to wake our sleeping daughter.
