Chapter 50 part 2:

By now most of their teammates and ,less important, photographers saw the scene unfold and gathered around with huge smiles plastered on their faces.

Alex looked down at her girlfriend on one knee and couldn't help but nod her head furiously.

"Yes. A thousand times yes." She said with tears in her eyes.

Tobin smiled at her before standing up and taking Alex's left hand, sliding the ring easily on to her finger.

Alex who was crying by now couldn't help but throw herself into Tobin, hugging her tightly.

The couple knew they were in a stadium packed with people, they knew about all the photographers around them, but to them, it felt like they were the only ones on the pitch.

Alex pulled away slightly to see Tobin's face.

"We're getting married." She said through a huge grin.

Tobin laughed. "I can't believe I actually proposed."

"Oh shut up." Alex joked before giving her a kiss.

"I call being a bridesmaid!" Kelley yelled at them as her and Hope made their way over to the commotion.

"Can I be the officiant? I would love to marry you two." Pinoe joked.

Syd pumped her fist in the air. "I call being the DJ at the reception!"

"Wait what happened?!" Kling asked running back over from being with Brittani.

"Alex and Tobin got engaged." HAO said.

"What was that?" Ali questioned walking over with Ashlyn.

"We got engaged." Tobin said laughing, holding on to Alex's hand.

Hope turned to Kelley about to ask her something but Kelley cut her off before she even began.

"Go." Kelley said with a smile.

Hope kissed her cheek before running to Carli engulfing her into a huge hug.

"We did it!" Hope yelled smiling.

"Finally!" Carli replied laughing and accepting the hug.

Hope let go of her best friend before continuing.

"Did you ever think we would get here? After all the crap that happened, all the problems, all the challenges."

Carli nodded. "Yeah cause I knew that you and me would never quit until we did. You deserve this, Hope."

"And so do you. We've both had our issues on this team but together we became the best."

This time it was Carli pulling her into a hug.

The team started moving over to the fans to celebrate with them and grabbed random fans from the crowd.

"I"
"I BELIEVE"
"I BELIEVE THAT"
"I BELIEVE THAT WE"
"I BELIEVE THAT WE JUST WON!"

The crowd chanted for them as they smiled proudly. Looking out into the stands, they saw friends, family, devoted fans, kids all ages, and everything in between.

At that moment, they knew that they had inspired a nation.

Alex wrapped a flag around her and Tobin.

"I love you." Alex said quietly.

"Yeah I love you too." Tobin smiled, kissing her forehead.

Abby gave Sarah a final kiss before grabbing a flag and wearing it proudly around her shoulders before walking over to Christie.
