"We're up." Ali says causing everyone to turn around and look at the pregnant woman.

"I don't really have any games planned, but I have snacks, cakes, punch, and other junk food for us to have after the reveal." I say.

"We're ready whenever you are." Ash says.

"Okay." I say then I start handing out smoke cannons.

Smoke cannons are the same as confetti cannons, but I thought confetti would take longer to clean up so I got smoke cannons.

"Everyone got one?" I question

Everyone, but Ash and Ali nod so I thankfully counted right.

"Good." I say

I then pick up the soccer ball that will release smoke when kicked to reveal the gender.

"Aww." Mal says. "It's a little soccer ball."

"Whenever your ready Ash." I say as I hand the ball to her. "Kick it and your babies gender will be revealed."

"Audrey you do it." Ash says and hands me the ball.

"Are you sure?" I question.

"Of course." Ash says and Ali nods.

"Alright." I say then I look at the people with smoke cannons. "After I kick the ball then you can fire your cannons."

Everyone nods then I step away from everyone so they all can see.

"Alright." I say. "1...2...3."

When I say three I drop the ball then I kick it up into the air. Once my foot connects with the ball, a massive cloud of pink pops out then everyone fires their smoke cannons.

"IT'S A GIRL." A lot of the girls squeal.

"WE'RE HAVING A DAUGHTER!" Ash shouts before she picks up her wife, twirls her around, then she kisses Ali.

After Ash and Ali kiss, they come over to me and pull me into a hug.

"Thank you." Ali says.

"Of course." I say then I look at the married couple. "Dibs godmother."

"We haven't decided that yet Audrey." Ash says. "But it's safe to say your one of our top three choices."

"Sweet." I say. "Now how about some cake."

"Ooh." Ali says. "Yes please."

"I'll be right back." I say then I walk to the kitchen.

Once in the kitchen I start grabbing stuff out of the fridge and putting it on the island.

"Hey Audrey." Tobin says causing me to look up and see Preath standing in front of me.

"Hey guys." I say. "What's up?"

"Can we ask you something?" Tobin questions.

I would make a joke about how she just did, but she seems super serious so now is probably not the time for jokes.

"Sure." I say.

"This is a long way's away." Christen says. "But we were wondering, when the time comes, would you be interested in helping us start a family?"

"I'd have to talk to Daan first..." I say. "And as long as it's the same way I helped Ash and Ali..."

"Of course." Tobin says. "We'd be doing it with the aid of a doctor."

"Then yes I would be interested." I say.

"Awesome." Christen says and smiles.

"Need some help?" Tobin asks.

"Yes please." I say.

Tobin and Christen help me carry the cake, the snacks, the drinks, and the plates and cutlery out to the terrace then we set it up on a table.

Once everything is set up, Ash and Ali cut the cake then everyone grabs what they want before we sit around the outdoor fireplace and enjoy the warm sunny day.

"Mommy." Avery says as she plays with Balto.

"Yes sweetie." Avery's mother says.

"I miss Dani."

Alex and Dani hit it off after the charity match and they've been dating for five months.

"I know sweetie." Alex says. "I miss her too."

"Hey Audrey?" Lindsey says.

"Yes?"

"What does Alex's girlfriend Dani do for work?"

"She is the head of the Have Hope Foundation's West Coast office." I say.

"You guys have two offices?" Ali asks.

"One in New York and one in LA." I say. "We also have a support place down in Miami for victims to get help and meet up with their families."

"Do you guys have plans for any more offices?" Tobin asks.

"We'd like to have at least one on every continent, but were just playing it by ear for now."

"Wow." Christen says. "That's an ambitious goal."

"Mhmm." I say then I clear my throat. "So who's ready for the World Cup Draw tomorrow?"
