Soccer Imagines

Oscar Emboaba

Today was our first year of Oscar's and I marriage. There was not going to be anything special because Oscar had to practice and do some conferences the whole day, but I wanted to buy a small cake for the both of us. We were expecting a baby really soon, so I wanted the night to be special. While I was driving home, I was admiring how beautiful London was, and I felt the baby kick.

"Oscar?" I said a little worried. He didn't answer. Everything was dark so when I turned on the lights I saw rose petals on the carpet and mini notes. I picked one of them up and it said, "Go to the backyard, I'll be waiting for you my love." I just loved it when Oscar called me that. It was classy and more romantic. Along the way, notes were bombarding the floor and walls saying how beautiful I looked, keep going, I love you, you're my everything, I can't wait for out little girl, etc. When I walked outside, I saw lights hanging from tree to tree, classic music playing in the background, a table with a candle on it, and more rose petals. All of a sudden hands were around my waist.

"I hope you like it love." Oscar gently whispered into my ear.

"I absolutely love it! Thank you!" I said. Then together, hand in hand, we walked to the table and Oscar pulled my chair. We talked about how we were high school sweethearts and ate the delicious food. Oscar was going to say a speech about our love, but all of a sudden my water broke and I was in a lot of pain.

When I woke up from labor, I saw Oscar holding our beloved Julia. "Julia, you're so beautiful just like your mother. you'll be the prettiest girl when you grow up. When boys want to date you, I'll have to kick their butts. Hopefully you can play soccer just like your daddy. All I can say is that I'll always be by your side, I won't leave you, ever. You will be a daddy's girl. I love you Julia." Oscar said passionately. I started crying and laughing and Oscar looked into my eyes. "I love you Ludy." Oscar said.

"I love you too.
