The bathroom suddenly feels cold. I could hear the whispers of Lauren, Amy, Carli , Becky , Jill , Mark and Dawn, talking to each other about me. I didn't mind them talking about me, I know they are just concerned about me. I also know they are confused too, so many questions they want to ask but yet they hesitate, thinking I'm too fragile to answer their questions. And to be honest I might be.

Turning my head away from the bathroom door, I start to tune out the sound of their voices and focus on the war that's going in side my head. If the test is positive I'm retiring. Nah man, I love soccer way too much to retire. Well if it's positive then I guess I'll have someone that will love me unconditionally forever. Umm I don't know if I'm going to keep him or her - scratch that I know I will. Huh I guess it would be pretty cool to have a little me running around. That thought made me smile, a little me running around.

The sound of the timer on my phone startled me out of my thoughts. Oh dear it's the moment of truth. Taking a deep breath, I got off the bathroom floor where I was sitting and moving my hair out of my face, I made my way to the bathroom counter (with shaking legs). Slowly, I reached for the two tests: First checking the Clearblue one which says: Pregnant. Uhh okay, maybe it's a false positive? Who am I kidding its most likely I'm pregnant.  And then checking the First Response one, which has: to pink lines, meaning I'm pregnant. Oh my gosh! There is a tiny growing human in my belly! That's sooo cool! Leaving the test in the counter, I ran out of the bathroom and looked for the full body mirror in the hotel room, once I spotted it, I stood in front of it, took my shirt off , leaving me in my sports bra, and looked at my belly. While looking at my belly, I started to notice something that I hadn't before, it being the fact my stomach is not as flat as it was 3 months ago. I was so focused on my belly that I didn't notice when Amy, Lauren, Becky, Carli, mark, Dawn and Jill came in, until one of them cleared their throat, scaring me out of my thoughts.

"So what where the results?" Asked Becky, as I put my shirt back on.

" theywherepositive" I mumbled, my toes all the sudden becoming very interesting.

" Toby honey, I know your toes are interesting but you got to speak up" said Cheney, smirking as I looked up from my toes to glare at her.

" they where positive" I said, suddenly feeling like running and hiding behind Hope.

" What do you mean positive?! I can't lose another player" exclaimed Jill, earning a glare from everyone in the room.

" it means that I have a growing human being inside  me, that will arrive in 9 months. Meaning that the next time you'll see me stand in the pitch will be in August of 2017" I said in a threatening tone of voice, she looked like she wanted to argue but with a glare from Carli she backed off and stormed out of the room.

" Well congratulations Tobin, you'll be a great mother" said my fellow midfielder, Carli, while giving me a hug.

" congrats Tobs you'll do great" said Reba.

"Awe Chens! Our little Toboggan is growing" said ARod, while fake sobbing in to Cheney's shoulder.

"I know ARod! our little girl is all grown up" replied Lauren as she tried to hug Amy but failed due to the fact that she's 6 months pregnant, but still fake sobbed on to each other.

"Alright pair of idiots, break it up" I said while rolling my eyes and laughing at them. " thanks guys I really appreciate it"

" well I'm going to miss my favorite thorny, you better come back next season , okay?" Said Mark , while giving me a hug.

"Okay " I said while returning the hug, Mark treats me like his own child.

" well, you better take care of yourself and that baby. Miss. Heath" said Dawn while wrapping me in a hug.

" will I promise, I'll be back in the pitch before you know it." I promised while flashing them a smile. " can y'all do me a favor?"

"Yeah" they replied.

" can we keep my pregnancy a secret from the rest of the team? If they ask just say I need a break or something. I don't wanna be judged by them, ya feel?" I requested, my toes becoming interesting once again.

"Awe Tobs, nobody is going to judge you. But if is what you feel comfortable with we'll keep it a secret." Said Cheney.

" thanks again guys. Well I better start packing" I said while giving everyone hugs, and starting to head for the door.

" packing? Tobs where are going?" Asked ARod.

"France" I said while walking out the door.
