Emma's POV

"Hi everyone." Jessie says as we look at the camera we're using for today's video. "Welcome back to the channel and today we're doing a pumpkin carving video."

"I haven't done this since I was a kid." I say with a giddy smile then I look at Jessie. "Can we start now?"

"Hold on." Jessie says making me pout as Jessie looks at the camera. "We asked all of you to send in some questions on twitter so we'll be answering those as we carve our pumpkins."

"Can I start now?" I ask.

"Yes Emma." Jessie says with a smile.

"Yay." I cheer then we get to work cutting our pumpkins.

"What's your favorite vacation you've been on together?" Jessie reads off her phone as I finish cutting the bottom of my pumpkin.

I read an article that said cutting the bottom of the pumpkin is better than cutting the top.

"We haven't been on a vacation together yet." I say. "At least not a proper vacation."

"Yeah." Jessie says. "The only trip I can think of that's been just us was that weekend in Paris after the COVID vaccine arrived."

"We were Planning to go on vacation after the Olympics, but I had to be at the equal pay trial." I say as I start scooping the pumpkin guts out of the pumpkin and into a trash can.

"Our next vacation will probably be our honeymoon." Jessie says.

"Oh." I say then I look at the camera. "To our friends watching, we have a date set for the wedding and you should be getting something in the mail about it very soon."

Jessie and I are getting married after the season, but before the Women's Euro tournament.

"What are our respective love languages?" Jessie read off her phone.

"My main love language is physical touch." I say. "Actually I think for both of us it's physical touch."

"Yeah." Jessie says. "Well it's probably everything except for gift giving."

"True." I say. "I mean we give each other gifts, but we don't need to do that to feel loved."

"Can you help me?" Jessie asks.

I nod then I help Jessie scoop the guts out of her pumpkin.

"Thanks Sharky." Jessie says then she kisses my nose.

"Anytime." I say then I grab Jessie's phone to find a question. "Who's more competitive?"

"Off the field Emma." Jessie says as we start carving our pumpkins. "Actually you're only competitive off the field when it comes to your business ventures."

"Yeah." I say. "I don't really like people messing with my money."

"But besides that you're not really competitive off the field." Jessie says. "Like if we're playing a game or playing video games then you don't really care."

"As long I'm having fun I don't really care if I'm winning or losing." I admit.

"But on the field..."

"Oh on the field is definitely me." I say. "We both hate losing, but I really hate losing."

"Emma gets very grumpy when she loses." Jessie says.

"Luckily we don't lose a lot so I'm not grumpy often." I say then Jessie pinches me. "OW."

"Nobody likes a bad winner." Jessie says.
