WOSO Imagines

unexpected (mapi león)

Another day, another training done for the Barcelona women's team. Mapi sat on the sidelines, catching her breath and winding down from the scrimmage. As she's drinking from her bottle, a shadow casts over her.

"Hi, María."

"Ingrid." She acknowledges the Norwegian.

"Uh, well, I was wondering if you wanted to try this restaurant I found last week?"

"Oh?"

"Yeah. They have really amazing food. So?"

"Yeah, sure. I'll tell the team."

"No, wait." She tries to clear up her intentions, but Mapi already walked away. "Great."

Two hours later, the whole team had met at 'Sapori' and waited at the front of the building for everyone to show up.

"Hey."

Looking to her left, she see's Ingrid shuffling closer to her.

"Hi."

"This is a really great restaurant. The ambiance is amazing so I'm glad you're here to try it out." Ingrid breaks the moment of awkwardness.

Mapi's lips form a tight smile. "Yeah, I've only heard great things."

"Alright, let's head in." They heard Alexia say as everyone that could make it has finally shown up.

It took a while for everyone to figure out where ghey want to sit, but they made it work. Mapi took her place at one end of the table, Ingrid taking place on her left side.

Conversations were flowing freely, everyone with a smile on their face. Mapi was chatting it up with Pina and Patri when she feels a hand delicately going up and down her arm, making her flinch her arm away.

"What're you doin'?" Mapi snaps, eyebrows furrowed.

"Sorry, just wanted your attention." Ingrid frowns.

"Okay." She slowly nods. "Just don't do that again."

The food came out soon after, everyone hungry and diggin in.

"Sorry, excuse me? We didn't order these." Alexia spoke up when extra dishes were placed on the table. Mapi didn't care, she dug into all that she could reach.

"These are just some dishes that the owner would like you all to try."

"Well, please thank her for us."

Everyone was in their own little groups talking about anything and everything at the same time. A couple of moments go by when Mapi feels small hands on her thighs. Looking down she sees a little girl who seems to try and get onto her lap. So what does she do? she helps the girl up, getting her comfortable on her lap and wrapping an arm around her.

Said child, once content on Mapi's lap, grabs the fork and starts eating the food in front of her. Mapi occasionally wipes her mouth with a napkin, the child unbothered by it.

Too occupied in helping the kid eat, she doesn't see the looks on her friends' faces. The group silently observes Mapi and the kid, seeing how comfortable they are with each other.

The kid turns in Mapi's lap, hands going on both cheeks pulling her close. Mapi thinks she's going for a kiss so she leans down, except instead of a kiss, the gnocchi that was once in the kid's mouth, was now in Mapi's.

"Ugh, Em! Not again." She spits it out, wiping her mouth after. All Emmi does is laugh and goes back to eating. A couple of throats can be heard clearing, making Mapi look up to see all her friends staring at her. "What?"

"What do you mean 'what?' You've got a child on your lap."

"Yeah and?"

"Who's child is that?"

"Completely hers." A voice speaks up before Mapi could answer. "She's a menace and gets it from her Mami."

"Mamma! Io mangio!"

"I can see! You've got sauce all over your face." You wipe her face with a napkin. "How are you guys enjoying everything?" You ask the group.

"Oh, it's amazing! Best thing I've ever eaten!" Pina exclaims.

"Who are you?" Ingrid asks.

"I am the owner of Sapori, Y/N León. So nice to meet all of you. And yes, I know the last name isn't Italian, but I just so happened to fall for a Spaniard."

"Ey! Don't make it seem like that's a bad thing."

"Ey!" Emmi echos.

"Wait!" Pina says very loudly. "León? So does that mean Mapi's your—"

"—Wife? Yes, unfortunately."

"You're beeing cheeky. Stop it." She boops your nose.

You start to pick up some of the empty plates, giving everyone a smile.

"Hey, hey, hey! What're you doin'?"

"I'm gonna take these back?"

"You're not allowed to carry anything!"

"Mapi, babe. I'm pregnant, not crippled. Plus, I'm barely even showing."

"Aww, you're pregnant?" Patri goes to touch your stomach, but her hand gets smacked away by Mapi.

"Mapi! Be nice. And yes, I am."

As the rest of the team fusses over Emmi and your belly, Ingrid decides to speak to Mapi.

"So, you're married?"

"Yup."

"Why'd you make it seem like you were interested in me." Mapi didn't know if she was being serious or not, but started laughing out loud.

"I don't know what you're on about mate. Probably just a figment of your imagination."
