CAITLIN'S POV:A little summary of the night. We had a genuinely nice meal, everyone else had a good drink but me and Katie had training tomorrow so we couldn't. Katie was still acting distant and wasn't talking much, this was very out of character for her. No one else would have noticed, but somehow she was just as involved as normal with Jack. She was wincing but of course Katie didn't hold back. So I did have to step in sometimes, just to remind her to take it a bit easier She looked to me with a mix of gratitude and anger. "Just don't want to pushing yourself too far." "Thanks babe." I give her a little kiss on her forehead.
*the next morning*
I woke up before Katie, again, all the worries of her arm just exhausting her so much. Katie is fully curled up into my side I slowly stretch her arm out wince she has it full underneath me in a knot pretty much. I massage it a bit to help the pain this morning. "Mm." Katie starts to wake but she seems a bit less pained. "Morning babe." I kiss her shoulder then her cheeks and then finally her lips. She is very content with this. "Do you know what time training starts today?" Katie takes a minute, "Ummm. 10 I think." She says with sleep still permanent in her voice. "We better get up then." This results in another grunt from Katie, she tries to pull me back down, "Sorry babe". I get out from underneath her and go downstairs to start breakfast.
KATIE'S POV:
I turn over to grab my phone, checking my socials and messages before seeing the pictured of me, Cait and her family. Especially Caitlin with Jack. I eventually go downstairs to Caitlin making some sort of pancakes. I go around to the side she is and give her a deep hug. "Pancakes okay baby?" I nod into her back. I move away and watch her, again thinking about how good of a mum she would be. I sit opposite and bring up the question I have wanted to ask her for awhile, "Caitlin babe, what do you think about kids?" Caitlin first looks up confused about here this question has come from, "What babe?" I repeat myself, "What are your opinion about kids?" Caitlin takes a minute finishes the pancake she is doing and finally speaks, "Love them and I love seeing you with them. What has made you think about this?" I shrug, "I was just thinking about how I definitely want some I was just wondering abut you." "I would have them this second if I could, but we are both footballers." I agree with her completely, also her being a year older, obviously makes her worry more about retirement. "Would you ever want to carry?" I ask her. "Um, I do not know. Later after football. What about you?" I had not really thought about, "I guess so, I think I would. Yes." Caitlin smiles towards me. W e then sit in a comfortable silence.
We get in the car bags all in and ready to go, until Caitlin jumps up out of the car. It takes her a minute before she comes out with my sling. "Forgetting something." I sling it over I hate to admit it, but it does send a wav of relief as I put it on.
As we drive Caitlin mentions the idea of kids again, "When do you want kids?" "I want them as soon as possible." Caitlins eyebrows then rise, "Like how soon." I just shrug in response. "I don't think I would mind taking time out of my career to do so." Caitlin looks shocked, "Really you wouldn't mind!" "No not at all." Caitlins mouth does not shut. "What has got you so shocked baby?" Caitlin stutters before finally getting her words out, "I just didn't think you would want to." I nod my head. "Are you sure you would want to do that? I heard that pregnancy is fuckin' shit, especially like getting back fit afterwards." "I am sure 100%." I replied with full confidence. "How about we speak to the physios today, since it wouldn't be a quick solution with IVF." I agree and nod my head. "Also, babe do not forget your family is in town. I know we have training everyday and games on Sunday and Wednesday but why do not we go out for Sunday lunch before the game because it is a late kick off." Caitlin nods her head in agreement.
We ask the physios on how they would go about it, "So how long could I go until I had to stop games?" This was my main question. "It is all up to how your pregnancy is. Some girls can play up until the 12th week mark. But we do recommend stopping at that." Me and Caitlin thank the physios and make our way back to the car. Caitlin is the first to speak up, "Still 100% positive. You would want to do this." I agree with full confidence again.
