"3-1!!!" "ME-XI-CO!!" "ME-XI-CO!!"
You heard chanting as you made your way down to the player lobby.
You slipped your phone into the back pocket of your jeans and adjusted the over sized black #5 jersey.
It smelled liked the familiar scent of your fiance's cologne.
You made your way down the long hallway, many of the team staff members & some wags giving you quick hugs or saying 'Hello'.
You couldn't help but smile at the atmosphere you walked into.
The players were celebrating, their Copa Oro Win, some were taking selfies with the trophy or with their medals, or just drinking champagne and of course throwing a mix of gold confetti and Gatorade at each other.
You glanced around, looking for Diego. You caught sight of your fiancé and your in-laws. They had made their way down here before you, they wanted to congratulate their son for his great effort this cup, Diego always made his parents proud.
You made your way over to them and Diego's mother Eva grinned.
"Diego let me take a picture of you two."
She took his phone and you smiled; hugging his waist, as he held up his medal. "Les voy a tomar unas mas."
Diego rolled his eyes playfully & you giggled, they were acting like it was their son's prom.
He slipped the surprisingly heavy 1st place medal around your neck & pressed a kiss to your cheek.
You smiled and he unexpectedly pressed his lips to yours You returned the sweet gesture, but quickly blushed as he pulled away.
He chuckled and wrapped both arms around you, holding you close.
You glanced up at him and he didn't say anything, he just smiled.
You giggled and he pressed a kiss to your forehead.
"Are you okay?"
He whispered into your ear.
"I am. I am also beyond happy right now.."
You replied, slipping your arms around his shoulders.
"Can I announce it?"
"What?"
You asked a bit taken back, you didn't let go of his embrace but you bit down hard on your lower lip.
"Please, let's just announce it."
"Diego, it's too early. Only three months."
"The doctor said that once we got past three months we would be okay to announce."
You contemplated a little as you rested you head on his chest and he pressed a kiss to your hair.
"Okay."
You sighed and pulled away, glancing up at him.
"Let's do this."
He muttered, pulling away.
Diego led you over to the team and stood up on one of the benches.
You smiled, the moment Diego and yourself had found out about the pregnancy, he talked about how he would tell the team.
You knew how important this was, Diego had explained how the team was like an extended family & they supported each other a lot.
Eva came over and wrapped an arm around you: "What's happening?"
"Diego's announcing something important.."
You breathed out, resting your head on her shoulder and closing your eyes.
"We wanted to wait until after the Copa to announce this. My beloved comprometida and are expecting. There's going to be a new member to this family!!! "
"REYES!! REYES!!! REYES!!"
"FLAKO!! FLAKO!! FLAKO!!"
You giggled as the team chanted, and patted Diego on the back.
Your suegra wrapped both arms around you and gently squeezed your shoulders.
"Felicidades!"
You smiled and hugged her back.
"Felicidades, vas hacer abuelita otra ves!"
(Congratulations, you're going to be a grandmother again!)
She pulled away and your father-in-law gave you a quick hug and a peck on the forehead.
Diego came over and leaned down, pressing a kiss to your bulged belly.
It was almost unnoticeable due to the baggy jersey.
You slipped your fingers onto the back of his hair and smiled.
After being so worried about keeping it a secret, you hadn't really enjoyed the first few months of your pregnancy.
The team photographer snapped a photo and Eva snapped one as well with Diego's phone. He stood up and a few teammates came and congratulated you both.
"Felicidades Flakko! ¿Una novia para mi Barron no?"
(Congratulations! A girlfriend for my son right?) Andres said with a chuckle as he held his son against his chest.
"Callate Andres! Es la novia de Mateo!"
(Shut Up, she'll be Mateo's girlfriend.)
You heard Miguel Layun call out playfully from across the room, as he snapped a picture of his baby Mateo with his gold medal.
Diego rolled his eyes playfully and muttered: "Can I hold him?"
"Yeah. Of course hermano."
Andres handed him the baby and said playfully: "If you drop him, I'll drop-kick you. I don't care if you're six feet tall, I'll do it."
Diego chuckled and you gushed, he looked so cute with the Maximo.
He looked so small in Diego's arms.
"You want to hold him? You're going to need the practice.."
Andres asked, glancing at you with a toothy smile.
"Yes porfa..."
Diego handed him to you and he let out a small cry.
You smiled down at him and Diego said:
"She's a natural isn't she Capi?"
"It's motherly instinct I guess."
You gently rocked him back and forth, Maximo gurgled.
You glanced up at Diego who shared the same thoughtful smile as you.
Andres eventually took him in his arms and said goodbye.
"I can't wait to meet ours."
Diego muttered as he grabbed his backpack, letting it sling on one shoulder.
"Yeah, me too. By the way, I am very proud of your effort this Cup. You have us very proud."
"Gracias Mi Amor." (Thank you my love.)
You slipped your fingers through his and he muttered:
"Even if we would have lost. I still would have been really happy, besides my biggest prized treasure is coming in 6 months."
