Not the Same (Alex Morgan/Reader)

Chapter 41

Warnings: Swearing
————————————————————————
Recap:

Alex sighs and stands up. "Where are you going," I whine out and Alex laughs.

"I'm going to the hotel to take a shower and to grab you some clothes for tomorrow," Alex says.

"Awww, ok," I say with a pout.

"I'll be back soon, my love," Alex says.

"Ok, I love you, Al."

"I love you too, baby," Alex says then places a kiss on my lips.

Alex waves as she walks out and I wave back.

I sigh as I try and get comfortable.

This is going to be a rough ride.

Present

Y/N's POV:

I wake up to a knock on the door. I open my eyes and Alex is still asleep cuddled into my side. "Come in," I say and Kelley and Christen walk in.

"Hey, guys," I say with a small smile.

"How are you feeling," Christen asks as her and Kelley sit next to the bed.

"I'm ok, some pain here and there," I say.

Kelley studies my facial expressions, "You're sad," she says which makes my eyes go wide and Christen raise an eyebrow.

"What are you talking about," I ask.

"You're sad because of your arm, aren't you," Kelley says sympathetically.

I sigh and look at my arm. "Yeah, I am. I'm gonna have to learn how to learn how to do almost everything again. I lost my right arm, my dominant arm," I say quietly.

"Well, think about it this way," Christen says, "You can still play soccer, you can learn to play the piano with one hand and possibly the guitar when you get the prosthetic arm, and you can wear your wedding ring on the correct hand," she tells me and I smile a little.

"Thank you guys," I say and look up at them.

"We also brought you something," Kelley says and Christen pulls a black velvet box out of her pocket.

My smile grows as Christen opens it and I see the ring. Tears build up in my eyes. "You picked a beautiful ring, Y/N," Christen says with a smile.

"Thank you for getting it," I say as I continue to look at the ring.

"Do you have a plan on how you're going to do it," Kelley asks.

I nod and look at them, "Alright, here's what we're going to do..."

I grunt slightly as the nurse and Dr. Aveline help me sit up. Alex winces when she hears me as she stands in the corner holding my things.

Christen and Kelley left an hour ago and said they were going to tell the team the plan.

"Alright, Y/N, on the count of three you're going to stand up," Dr. Aveline says as she wraps her arms around left arm.
