Scarlett's POV

"So before we go do this are we 100 percent sure?" I question as I walk into the living room of my home.

"Yes babygirl." My mom says. "We're sure."

"Shit." I say then I finish getting dressed.

"Do you want your cane?" Leah asks.

"Yes please." I say. "Is it weird I'm sort of happy this happened?"

"Only you can decided that Scarlett." Leah says.

"But can we ask why you're sorta happy?" Jasmine asks.

"Now I can retire and not look like a cunt who gave up on her teammates."

"Nobody would have thought that." My sister Violet says.

"And if they did then they'd have us to answer to." Leah says then she and Jasmine flex.

"Easy you two." I say. "Nobody's fighting anybody."

"Boo." Jasmine says.

"Jazzy funny." Tiago says as he giggles then I notice everyone's looking at me. 

"It's really over huh." I say.

"Your football career?" Leah rhetorically questions. "Yeah."

"Your life?" Jasmine rhetorically questions. "Not even close."

I nod then Leah hands me the cane I need now.

I don't need the cane all the time, but there are some bad days where I do need it.

It's been about a month since I passed out in Marseille and today I'm medically retiring from football.

Only my family, Tobin, and Jordan Nobbs know I'm doing this.

I couldn't admit to my teammates that my career is over because I couldn't say it without crying until recently.

"Let's go do this." I say then my family and I leave my home and head downstairs to the car park.

When we get downstairs my wives and I get in our car then Leah drives us to Arsène Wenger Arena.

"Do you know when the last time we had sex was?" I randomly question.

"The night we got married." Jasmine says.

"That's so fucking long." I groan.

"Once we get the all clear Jasmine and I will fuck you for a week straight." Leah says.

"Yay." I cheer causing my wives to chuckle then an eerie silence overtakes our car.

Seems like all of us are nervous for what's about to happen.

After a long and quiet drive we arrive at Arsène Wenger Arena so Leah drives into the entrance to the underground parking area.

Once we're parked the three of us get out then my wives flank me as we walk to the media room.

"Will one of you tell the team?" I question.

"Yeah baby." Leah says.

I've literally tried so many times to tell my teammates what's happening, but I just can't do it.

"Thanks." I say then we walk in silence to the manager's office here at the stadium.

Once in the manager's office I sit on the couch and cuddle with Leah while Jasmine talks to the team.

"Leah." I mumble.

"Yeah beautiful?"

"I'm scared." I admit.
