Emma's POV
"We're here baby." Jessie whispers then she kisses my head.
"Okay." I mumble then I open my eyes and lean my head off of my soon-to-be wife's shoulder.
Once my eye's are open I look down at the two angels sleeping on me.
"Time to wake up babies." I say and kiss my kids heads.
The kids wake up right as we get to Wembley Stadium.
Today's FA Cup Final day and we're playing Man City.
"Let's go Shadow." I say then my future wife, our kids, and I follow Shadow off the bus.
After the bus stops everyone grabs their bags then we get off the bus and head to the locker room.
Once we get to the locker room I hand the kids off to the team babysitters then Jessie and I head inside the locker room.
When I get to my locker I take out my nose ring, take off my necklaces and my rings, then I put my jewelry and AirPods in my bag.
Once I'm jewelry free I put on my short sleeve Pink undershirt, my warm up top, then I put on my game shorts. I then sit down in my locker, put my long long curly brown hair up in a ponytail, put on my socks and put on my black and gold boots.
After my boots are on I tape my wrists, hands, and fingers then I put on my black and white keeper gloves before I head onto the field with Lydia.
When I get on the pitch I run through my warm ups with the keepers for a while then head back to the locker room.
Once in the locker room I change out of the training top and change into my Pink keeper jersey while the coaches do their last minute talks.
After the last minute talks are over we are told to head to where we need to be so Shadow and I head to the bench.
I'm on the bench because I'm the only other keeper available since all the others are hurt.
Lydia's the only fit keeper besides me.
Once I'm on the bench I sit down next to Steph then I look at the line-up on the big screen.
18-Lydia Williams
12-Steph Catley
6-Leah Williamson
3-Kadeisha Buchanan
15-Katie McCabe
8-Jordan Nobbs(C)
14-Jill Roord
17-Jessie Fleming
9-Beth Mead
11-Vivianne Miedema
7-Daniëlle van de Donk
A couple minutes later the game begins so I relax and watch the game.
"Shit." I mumble when I see Lydia down on the ground after the first half extra time whistle blows.
The game is tied 1-1.
Viv scored for us and Sam Mewis scored for Man City.
Besides the goals the game has been boring as fuck.
The medical team rush out to Lydia and look her over then they signal for a stretcher so I quickly make my way to Alex as the team are ushered to the locker room.
"Who's going in net?" I ask.
We're out of subs so I can't go in.
"Leah said she would." Alex says
I nod then Shadow and I head to the locker room.
"All of you go away." I say as I approach the huddle of players around Leah
Everyone quickly does leaving myself and Leah all alone.
"Here." I say and hand Leah Lydia's keeper jersey. "You're gonna need this."
My jersey definitely won't fit Leah so we're going with Lydia's.
Leah nods then she takes off her jersey and puts Lydia's keeper jersey.
Once the Jersey is on I pull up a chair then sit in front of Leah
"Pull the sleeves up and Hold your hands out." I say.
Leah does as I ask so I start taping up her hands.
"You're gonna be fine." I mumble. "You've worked on this before so just trust your instincts, trust your defense, and you'll be fine."
"What if I fuck up?" Leah asks.
"Then you have the whole team who will pick you up." I say.
"Let's go Ladies." Alex says.
"Someone hand me Lydia's gloves." I say then Caitlin hands me her Aussie teammates gloves.
Once I have Lydia's gloves I put them on Leah the all of us leave the locker room.
"You'll be fine." I say one last time before Leah runs onto the field.
After Leah runs on the field us bench ladies sit down.
"What's wrong with Lydia?" I ask.
"Broken nose." Alex says.
"Shit." I say then Shadow sits down in-between my legs.
Over the next ten minutes I pay attention only to Leah and shout suggestions when needed.
"Fuck." I mumble when Jennifer Beattie gives away a penalty.
As the Man City player sets up I study her to find out where she's going then I get Leah's attention.
Once I have Leah's attention I motion for her to dive towards me.
Leah nods then all of us watch as Ellen White does her run up and shoots towards my side of the goal.
The moment Ellen's foot connects with the ball Leah dives the correct way then we all watch the defender look the ball into her gloves.
"YEAH LEAH." I shout as Leah stands back up.
Once Leah's standing she boots the ball upfield.
My future wife runs onto the ball, beats a few defenders, then she buries the ball in the back of the net.
"THAT'S MY WIFE." I Shout as Jessie runs towards me. "WELL MY ALMOST WIFE."
When Jessie gets to me she jumps in my arms then everyone hugs.
"That's my girl." I whisper then I kiss my soon-to-be wife's pulse point.
After everyone hugs Jessie I let her down then everyone gets to where they need to be right as the ref blows for full time.
"LEAH YOU FUCKING DID IT." I shout then everyone hugs her.
After everyone hugs Leah, I hug my future wife then I kiss her.
"You all want some more good news." The head AT Asks getting everyone's attention.
"Good news?" Jordan questions then the head AT looks at our New team doctor.
The doctor who didn't clear me got fired because he had four malpractice lawsuits being leveled against him and Arsenal didn't know that.
When Arsenal found out about the malpractice lawsuits they fired him and hired someone who was actually qualified for the job.
"Emma is officially cleared to play a full game." Our new team doctor says then everyone cheers.
"Well you know what this means." Alex Scott says as she looks at me. "You're starting the Champions League Final."
