The World (Sequel to International)

Stressed

Mapi's POV:

I heard the door unlock. "Places everyone." I held Felicia's hands as she stood. "Gabriel, can you at least try to look like you had a good weekend?"

The door opened and Mariana walked in. "Hello, children." She smiled. "Everyone in one piece?"

"The sink isn't." Gabriel mumbled.

"You little sh-"

"I know." Mariana laughed.

"How did you kn- Alexia." I nodded. "Should've known she'd call you."

"She did but I also know my wife." She said kneeling down to Felicia. "Look at you standing up. My big girl." She picked her up and stood next to me. "You alright?"

"2 kids is very tiring."

"Hmm." She kissed me. "Wait till the 3rd." She whispered. 

"Good point." I laughed.

May 2029

Mapi's POV:

The ref blew the whistle and the stadium erupted. 

"Atleti are champions!" Fans yelled. 

They got to the Champions League Final and faced off against Arsenal. They won 2-1. Losing 1-0 until Nahikari tied it, and Mariana won it.

Both goals assisted by Virginia.

Arsenal got their 2nd place medals and then Atleti went to get theirs. 

"Yes!" I cheered.

"Look at our wives." Carmen smiled.

"Why aren't you back yet?" I asked.

"I started training again but my knee kind of felt off, so I had a small operation done and decided to sit out the rest of the year." She sighed. "I'll be back better than ever for next season."

I smiled. "Little baby Carmen." I laughed. 

"MARI!" Patri cheered. "THAT'S MY FRIEND!"

The final was in Barcelona. Atleti fans traveled to the city as soon as the final was announced and as much as it pained them, the Barca players showed up too. 

Friends first, opponents second.

They walked around the stadium and applauded the crowd. We got close and Mariana walked over with Lola. 

"Mari!" Gabriel jumped up and down.

"My man." She smiled. "You enjoy the game?" He nodded. "Where's my baby girl?"

Mariona walked forward holding her. "She's making me want a baby." She passed Felicia to Mariana.

"So have one?" I said.

"She already has a baby." Mariana said. "Name Leila."

"Haha funny." Leila laughed.

"And true." Mariona looked at her.

I passed Gabriel to her and she walked around the field with the two of them. 

"Superwoman." I smiled. "My wife."

"Wave to mama." Carmen said holding the twins. "Wave to her."

Lola blew kisses to them. 

"You want them?" I asked.

"It's too crazy down here. They're safer with Carmen." Lola said. 

Mariana's POV:

"Where's aunt Vir?" I looked around.
