**Y/N's POV**

"The last few games didn't turn out the way we wanted but this is what it all comes down to. Each of you has worked your asses off to get to this moment, don't let it pass you up. Go out there and give it your all. Now let's go kick some ass!" My coach Vlatko said as we were getting ready to head out to the pitch for our final game of the 2020 Summer Olympics.

We hadn't had much time to prepare as a team with the pandemic putting a wrench in everything we had been expecting. And it was painfully obvious that we were struggling during these Olympic games. But we needed to put our frustrations into our game against Australia.

Truthfully I didn't ever think I would be on an Olympic team let alone the US Women's National Team. I didn't grow up like most if not all of my teammates that grew up with a burning passion for soccer. It was something I had taken up the summer before my freshman year of high school.

I tried out for my high school's team and shockingly made the varsity team. And it seemed like ever since then the rest was history. I got a scholarship to play soccer for UCLA which was incredible and I knew it lifted a weight off of my mom's shoulders when I was offered the scholarship.

When I entered the draft I wasn't expecting to be picked in the top five but when I was drafted by the Houston Dash it was like a whole new fire was lit in me. I was determined to prove all my naysayers wrong but more importantly, I was determined to take an immense burden off of my mom's shoulders.

She was a single parent raising me and doing her absolute best to give me the best life possible. During my rookie season in Houston she found out she had breast cancer and it was like a knife was driven straight to my heart. I worked my ass off so I could cover all her medical bills and any other bills she had.

I didn't want her worrying about anything else aside from fighting the sickness that was threatening to take her life. I put up incredible numbers my first season and was soon getting sponsorships from Nike, Coca-Cola, Cadillac, Bose, and Capital One just to name a few.

While in Houston that's where I'd meet the woman who changed my life in ways I never expected. Kristie Mewis, I was already familiar with who she was but getting to know her personally was just something completely different.

She was welcoming from the first moment we met when I was introduced to the team we got along amazingly. This just flowed naturally with her. She made me laugh, she made me think, and she made me feel accepted for who I truly was. And that wasn't something I was used to, especially growing up with my condition.

She became my best friend and eventually, that blossomed into a friends-with-benefits relationship that lasted for nearly three years without any of our closest friends or teammates finding out. Not because I was embarrassed by our arrangement but because Kristie told me she felt like having a personal life that others couldn't influence was important. Which I agreed with.

And it just seemed like it was the right move for us both at the time we were both busy with our team and engagements outside of our team. But it felt good to know that we were the only people each other were exclusively sleeping with.

It was hard not to let my feelings for her get in the way of our arrangement but I couldn't help how I felt for her. I wanted more with her and I was in love with her so I brought it up one night after a night of passionate sex. When she told me that we were just a fling and she didn't love me my heart broke. And it was safe to say that was the last time we met up alone after that night.

Working alongside her for training sessions and games was tough but I wanted to try and remain friends with her no matter how tough things got. But when I found out she had a girlfriend only two months later I was crushed.

And I was honestly relieved when I was traded to the Orlando Pride after my contract with Houston was up. I was removed from a situation and a person that broke my heart and I was able to focus on myself again.

I moved my mom to Orlando and made sure she had the best team of doctors she could possibly have. She fought hard for a total of six years and two back-to-back battles with cancer before she lost her fight. It was by far the second hardest thing I've ever had to deal with in my life.

I wish she was physically here to see me in my first Olympics. When I was called up to play for the USWNT my mom was the first person I wanted to call and give the incredible news.

I finished tying up my cleats and made sure my hair was in a perfect ponytail before taking a few moments to myself getting in my zone with a few deep breaths. All of our hard work came down to today. We were battling for a bronze medal tonight. It wasn't what we had imagined for our team but we would be damned if we came home empty-handed.

After a few moments of silence, we made our way to the field. I didn't even focus on what was going on around me. I was more so caught up in the fact that I was standing next to Kristie after doing my best to avoid her as much as possible during the Olympics.

She didn't hide the fact that she was dating one if not the strongest player on Australia's team Sam Kerr.

They had been flaunting themselves around any chance they got and I'd be lying if I said it didn't hurt me. She was so free to show our teammates and anyone else around that she was with Sam. And Sam was just as smug about it as you could imagine.

Finally, the whistle blew indicating the start of our match. As a defender, I prided myself on my aggressiveness and my speed when it was needed. I knew Australia was going to be aggressive during this game but I was prepared for it. We both wanted to come out on top but I was going to do everything in my power to put my team in the best position possible.

It was now about twenty minutes in and we were up two to one. During the game I had a couple of run-ins with Sam but nothing that wasn't expected. But as the game went on I noticed that Sam was beginning to get physically aggressive with me.

"Come on Y/LN why are you being such a pussy? I didn't think Kristie would have gone for someone that was fucking weak. But wait you don't know anything about pussies though would you? Since you're a freak with a dick." Sam said as we stood next to one another during a corner kick.

As she jumped for the ball I made sure my elbow slammed hard into her ribs. "Don't fuck with me Kerr you don't know me you don't know shit about me. Don't let your mouth write a check that your ass can't cash." I replied.

Sam was given the ball and quickly tried making her way down the field but I was just too fast for her and was able to take the ball away from her with ease.

I ran down the field and kicked it to Kelley who then kicked the ball back at me as I ran further down the field. All of a sudden I felt spikes hit the back of my knee sending me to the ground harshly.

I clenched my teeth before letting out a scream as I held my knee.

I tried moving but was stopped by my best friends Alex, Sophia Smith and my ex girlfriend and other best friend Ashley.

"Easy Y/NN don't move" Ashley said as she placed her hands on my shoulder. "Here come the trainers, relax Y/NN" Alex said before moving away from me slightly to let our trainers do their jobs.

I was down for about three minutes letting the trainers assess me. They bent my leg and massaged it before spraying some cold spray onto my knee. They helped me to my feet and let me rest my body weight onto my leg to see if I could continue in the game.

I was feeling better but a little shaken up knowing that's exactly how I got hurt and missed half of my season my rookie year.

I heard the refs whistle blow as she held up a red card in Sam's direction making the woman become furious.

As Sam began to walk off the field she stopped and coul help but open up her mouth. "Fucking pussy! You couldn't even handle a little kick to your knee! You fucking bitch you don't even deserve to have a spot on your team!"

I walked towards her ready to argue back when Kelley, and Emily got in between us pushing me back towards the rest of my team.

"Y/N what the fuck was that? Really you're gonna flop around like that? You just took her out of the biggest game of her life!" Kristie screamed in my face. She looked at me with so much anger I couldn't believe she was seriously angry at me.

"You're seriously mad at me? Be mad that your girlfriend was acting like a fucking psycho. She was playing dirty so she got what she deserved! If she kicked hard enough she could have done serious damage to me Kristie!" I replied harshly.

I couldn't believe she was getting in my face angry about a decision her girlfriend made. Sam had no one to blame but herself for getting a red card.

As we went into halftime my emotions were all over the place. I was angry, I was hurt, I was confused. How someone I truly loved with everything in me could just turn on me the way Kristie did blew my mind.

—————————————————The final whistles blew and I dropped to my knees. I couldn't believe I was officially an Olympic medal recipient. Yeah it wasn't gold like we had hoped for but it was still something and that meant the world to me.

I celebrated on the field with my teammates but was shocked to see Kristie walk over to Sam who was now with her team who were all understandably somber.

Kristie took a seat next to Sam and rubbed her back and then scooted closer to hold her. The sight honestly made me sick and the high I was feeling almost instantly went away.

Now I was just angry all over again.

We made our way back to our locker room where we all quickly showered before heading to the team bus. I had my AirPods in listening to music when I felt a tap on my shoulder.

I looked behind me to see a nervous looking Kristie standing there biting her bottom lip. I raised an eyebrow at her but didn't say anything.

"I just wanted to apologize to you," she began to say when I scoffed.

"Really after you did all that on the field? You know that was televised right? The whole world saw you get in my face over your girlfriend. The history we have with each other I would have never thought you would treat me the way you do. But how wrong I was.

I really don't want to hear your apology because it's not going to mean anything when you continue to choose some chick you've been with for a few months over someone you've had history with for years." I said before getting on the bus and sat in my usual seat before turning up my music to help me zone out a little bit.

If I'm being honest all I want is just to go to sleep. I wasn't in a mood to celebrate anymore.

**Time Skip- 3 Weeks**

Tonight the entire USWNT was meeting up at a local club to celebrate our Olympic win. I had done my best to put everything with Sam and Kristie behind me and just enjoy the short break I have before it's time to announce that I've decided to part ways with the Orlando Pride and sign with the San Diego Wave.

I was truly looking forward to my new start in San Diego and it couldn't have come at a better time. Orlando was just filled with bad memories I was ready to move on from.

I did my usual shower routine making sure I was thoroughly cleaned before getting out and wash and moisturized my face before I brushed my teeth and put on some deodorant.

I went into my closet to pick out an outfit to wear and after a few minutes I finally decided on an all black outfit with some of my diamond jewelry as accessories. And my Jordan 1 Highs in the Stage Haze color way.

I went back into the bathroom to do something with my long Y/H/C hair deciding to leave it curly adding just a little bit of product into it. I did a final look at my outfit, happy with how everything complimented each other before spraying myself with my favorite fragrance.

I grabbed my wallet, cellphone, and keys from my dresser before heading downstairs to my garage where my newest purchase, my 2023 Range Rover, sat looking pretty. I got into the driver's seat and made my way to the club.

When I finally made it to my destination I pulled into the valet line letting them take my car when I saw Ashley about to head inside. "Ash!" I yelled, capturing her attention.

We hugged one another and I kissed her cheek as I always do. "Have you told anyone about your trade to San Diego yet?" Ashley asked as we walked inside the club.

I shook my head "aside from you and Alex not yet. I'm leaving tomorrow night so I can take my announcement pictures and to look at a few houses. They said everything should be ready to go within the next week or two so I have to keep things on the down low for just a little longer." I replied.

"I think this is exactly what you need. A fresh start after everything with mama Y/LN I think the timing is perfect." Ashley said as we made our way through the crowd of people to where our VIP section was.

A lot of our team was already there with drinks in hand. My eyes ran across everyone there but immediately stopped when I honed in on Kristie with Sam wrapped around her.

I clenched my jaw harshly and scoffed Ashley looked in the direction I was looking at. "Don't let them dampen your mood Y/NN let's have a good time we deserve it."

I followed closely behind Ashley as we reached the VIP section and greeted our teammates individually. I of course skipped greeting Kristie not wanting to be around her or her girlfriend.

Alex and Kelley immediately put a shot and a beer in my hands encouraging me to throw both of them back which I did easily.

After a few more shots and a few more drinks I was feeling good and really enjoying myself laughing and dancing with my teammates. Ashley and I were dancing with each other to a Bad Bunny song when I felt a push from behind.

I turned my head to see Sam and Kristie "you greet everyone on the team except for my girl. What the fuck is up with that?" Sam says the alcohol on her breath made me turn my head just so I didn't have to smell it.

"Why the fuck are you here should be the real question. Last time I checked you weren't on our team you were the one sitting on the sidelines watching your team lose." I replied matching the hostile energy she was giving me.

That must have hit a soft spot in her because even though the lighting wasn't the best in the club I could physically see her face turn red. She stepped closer to me now directly in my face capturing the attention of the rest of my teammates while Kristie stood slightly behind Sam.

"I did lose but I'm not the only one that knows about losing though right? You lost your mom and your baby so who's the biggest loser here? I'd say it was you. I mean look at you. You're a fucking freak thank god or the universe or whatever you believe in that you lost your baby be-" Sam began to say but that was it for me.

When she brought up me losing the two most important people in my life I lost it. I felt like I had completely lost all control of my body and it was controlled by someone else.

I just remembered my fist connecting right with her jaw making her stumble backwards a few times before I continued to engage her. I hit her a few more times before she finally started swinging back at me.

Before I knew it we were in an all out brawl with one another. I could hear screams and yelling but I wasn't going to stop until Sam felt every ounce of anger I had.

I felt four pairs of arms wrap around me pulling me away from Sam.

"Come on Y/NN!!" Kelley yelled as she and Emily began to drag me towards the exit.

"Fuck that I'm gonna end that bitch!!" I replied trying to get out of my teammates grasp.

Alex, Sophia, and Ashley did their best to try and calm me down but nothing was working.

I've never felt a rage like this. I can usually take shit talking but this right here crossed every line you could possibly cross.

** Kristie's POV**

Everything happened so fast but the minute Sam mentioned the baby and Y/N's mom my stomach dropped. The look of complete and utter hurt and betrayal on Y/N's face when she looked at me shattered my heart.

But that look quickly turned to complete rage unlike anything I've ever seen from her in all the years I've known her.

Fists started flying seconds later. Sam pushed me away as Y/N began to hit her. I never wanted things to become physical between them. I knew I fucked up by bringing Sam with me tonight.

Kelley and Emily quickly moved in to pull the two women away from each other but Y/N wasn't having any of it.

I saw Sophia quickly pull out her phone and text someone before she joined Alex and Ashley trying to calm Y/N down.

Kelley and Emily managed to get Y/N outside while Sam continued to follow them "Sam stop you started this shit for no reason everyone was having a good time!" I said as I pulled on my girlfriend's arm.

"She was being an asshole to you I had to say something" Sam replied as she pulled away from me.

"No she wasn't she didn't say or do anything to me all night which is understandable I've been the one that's been an asshole to her. And how fucking dare you throw the baby in her face like that! I told you that in confidence that you wouldn't say anything to anyone! Now the whole fucking team knows!" I replied as tears welled in my eyes.

I didn't want to keep talking to Sam after what she just did. I was done with her. And with our relationship.

I went outside where Y/N was now being held by Sophia's girlfriend Hunter who was also Y/N's best friend since childhood.

Y/N was bleeding from just above her eyebrow and her lip. Tears streamed down her face.

When she saw Sam she angerdly wiped her tears away and charged at her again but Hunter, Kelley, and Emily blocked her path.

Sam was yelling various insults at Y/N and Y/N was still fighting against the three women's grasp while yelling back at Sam.

"Fucking stop Sam! You're making yourself look like a complete bitch! You need to leave, you aren't wanted here anymore. Me and you are done. I don't want anything to do with you anymore!" I yelled, capturing the younger woman's attention.

"Really you're done with me?" Sam asked with a hurt expression on her face.

"Absolutely. You crossed the line too many times. But tonight was enough. You not only hurt me but more importantly Y/N with what you said back there. I'm done." I replied before walking away from her.

I walked towards Y/N. My heart hammered in my chest with every step I took. I wanted to make things right I knew I had fucked things up between us when I started dating Sam. But tonight I was smacked right in the face with how badly I had truly fucked things up with Y/N.

"I don't think it's a good time to try and talk to her right now." Ashley said as she stepped in front of me.

I knew about her past with Y/N and how close they still were so her need to protect her was completely warranted.

"I need to. I need to make things right I fucked up." I said as tears welled in my eyes again.

"Yeah you did you don't understand just how much you've fucking hurt my best friend" Hunter said as she walked towards me with her girlfriend by her side.

Sophia tried stopping her girlfriend from talking but I interrupted the younger woman.

"No Soph it's fine. Because it's true I don't know how much I've hurt her but I'm trying to understand it." I said as my eyes landed on Y/N who was crying in Alex's arms.

"Make it right," Hunter said before Sophia pulled her away from me.

I could hear murmurs coming from Alex as she held Y/N protectively in her arms.

Y/N must have sensed someone else was close cause her head popped up and her eye's glared into mine.

"Get away from me" Y/N hissed coldly.

"I'm trying to apol-"

"No fuck your apologies Kristie. You told that bitch the one thing we promised to keep between us. And she threw that shit right in my face. So why don't we just let it out right now." Y/N said as our teammates gathered around us.

"Kristie and I had a friends with benefits thing going on for three years. About two years in we found out she was pregnant and I was ecstatic about it. I wanted to tell everyone about it but Kristie told me not to. She lost the baby about two months later. My own mom didn't even know about the baby because Kristie made me promise not to tell anyone.

We kept our friends with benefits thing going for another year when I told her I wanted more with her and expressed how in love with her I was. She broke my heart that night. Within a short time span I lost my baby, the woman I thought was the love of my life and my mom so there you go, there's the tea. I hope you're happy Kristie."

Y/N said through tears. When she was finished talking she pulled away from Alex and ran away.

Everyone looked at me with different emotions etched across their faces. Some angry, some disgusted, some sympathetic.

I felt like shit. But I deserved it. I hurt the one person I knew would have never hurt me no matter what happened between us. That's just how Y/N was.

It was safe to say the night was ruined and I apologized to the team for everything I had inadvertently caused.

I headed back to my hotel wanting to be alone right now. I don't think I've ever felt so low in my life. I fucked things up so badly I didn't know how I was going to fix things. But I needed to. I wanted to. Y/N didn't deserve an ounce of the things I had done to her when all she ever did was love and care about me.

Even keeping the biggest heartbreak either of us had ever experienced to herself when she should have been able to talk about our baby openly to her mom before she passed.

—————————————————

I couldn't sleep at all. The events of what happened at the club kept replaying in my head.

The look on Y/N's face burned into my memory forever. I looked at my phone seeing multiple missed calls and texts from Sam which I ignored. It was about four in the morning but I knew there was no way I would be able to go to sleep now.

I got out of bed and brushed my teeth and washed my face before I put on a hoodie and some sweats and then I grabbed my cleats before I headed to my rental car.

I drove to our practice field just to blow off some steam. I didn't even care that it was raining pretty good out now.

I parked my car and walked to the field but what captured my attention was the person that seemingly had the same idea as I did. As I got closer the tattoo on their leg was visible and I gulped hard knowing that it was the person I had hurt the most.

"Guess we both had the same idea"
I said loud enough for her to hear. Her head snapped in my direction.

She threw her head back and sighed loudly.

"I know I'm the last person you want to see. I know that but Y/N hear me out please" I began to say before Y/N kicked the ball harshly hitting the back of the net easily.

"No you need to hear me out first," Y/N said. My heart hammered in my chest as I heard her voice.

"Go ahead" I replied.

"When things started with us I went into it with no expectations just sex and that's it. But the more time we spent with each other it was hard for feelings not to develop. I tried, I tried so fucking hard not to fall for you but I did.

Then when you found out you were pregnant it just made me feel all these things for you. I never thought I would have found someone that was accepting of all of me. But it seemed like you did.

I pictured our life together with our baby going to practice and then coming back home to see you and the baby. Having them wear our jerseys to games. Them playing with Charlie, Cassius, Roux, Sloane on the field after games.

I pictured it all. Us together watching them taking their first steps, taking them to the zoo, watching them open their first Christmas gifts. I wanted it all with you.

And then when you lost the baby it was like my world collapsed around me. And I noticed this shift with you which I understand. You know that I'll never get to know what it's like to carry a baby but that was my baby too and I was heartbroken. I couldn't even open up to you about how I felt and that fucking sucked.

Then when I opened up to you how I felt about you you completely dismissed me and my feelings. You switched up on me in ways I never thought you would and that was fucking horrible. To see you now so happy to show Sam off kills me because even though I shouldn't I wish that was us together."

Y/N said as tears were now streaming down her face. My heart was breaking even more with each word that fell from her lips. I never thought I hurt her as much as I did I never intended to.

"I'm so sorry I hurt you like that Y/NN I'll never be able to apologize to you enough for that I know I fucked up. I hurt you in ways that can't be made up for. I was too focused on myself that I didn't think about you and I'm so sorry for that.

I fucked up because you were nothing but good to me you always treated me with respect and you never forced me to do anything that I didn't want to. I truly couldn't have asked for a better person to have a baby with and with everything in me I wish so badly that we could have seen our little one grow up.

That was wrong of me to parade Sam around and tell her the things that I did about our relationship. I never thought she would try to throw that in your face and I'm sorry. I know it doesn't mean shit now but I broke up with her. She's not the type of person that I want to be with." I said pouring my heart out to the younger woman.

"We were both young and dumb I'm not excusing the things you did because that was so uncalled for. But we went through something traumatic and obviously instead of bringing us together it did the opposite. Even though you've hurt me I could still only wish the best for you. I hope you have a good life Kristie I truly do." Y/N said as the rain began to fall harder. She picked up her things and began to walk away.

My heart hammered within my chest as I watched Y/N walk away from me.

"Wait!" I yelled, making the younger woman stop in her tracks.

"I let you walk away once already. I can't do that again. I was scared to put myself out there because of how I've been treated in the past but you've shown me a love I've never known and I'm so thankful for that. I want to show you everyday how you should be loved and treated and I swear I'll work every fucking day to show you that.

I love you Y/N you're the one that I want. No matter what the outcome was, you're the dada to my first baby and I want you to be the dada to all of my future babies. I want to grow with you in every way someone could grow. I want you for the rest of my life." I said meaning every word that fell from my lips.

I don't know why it took me so long to realize it but Y/N was it for me. I didn't want anyone else but her and that's a fact.

Y/N opened and closed her mouth a few times before she shook her head and charged at me lifting me into her arms with ease.

Our lips crashing together was a passion I had never felt before. It was like we didn't miss a beat from all the years we've spent together behind closed doors.

Her tongue swiped across my bottom lip and I instantly granted her access. Our tongues began to explore one another's getting familiar once again.

My hands tangled in the younger woman's long Y/H/C. A moan escaped my lips as she kissed down my neck sucking harshly on my sweet spot.

It's like we both were pouring out every ounce of unsaid feelings we had for one another.

We pulled apart and rested our foreheads against one another's catching our breath.

Y/N grabbed my hand gently and I intertwined our fingers as she led me off of the field. We walked to her SUV.

We climbed into the backseat and I took my spot on top of her lap. We began kissing again, each swipe of our lips getting nastier by the second.

Her hands explored my body stopping at the hem of my shirt. She looked at me questiongly and I answered her by pulling my shirt over my head.

Her hand unclipped my bra with ease, throwing it in the front seat.

She took one of my nipples into her mouth swirling her tongue around it before lightly biting down on it making me moan at the feeling. She flicked my nipple with her tongue before she showed my other nipple the same amount of love.

I grabbed the hem of her shirt and pulled it over her head, her abs flexing at the act. My hands ran across her toned abdomen before they played with the waistband of her briefs that were sticking out under her shorts.

She lifted her hips allowing me to pull down her briefs and shorts in one swift motion. Her hardened length hitting her stomach made my mouth water.

She pulled down my panties and shorts before setting me on her lap again. We both moaned at the feeling of her precum glistening tip hitting my clit.

There was no time for foreplay. We needed one another so badly.

I lifted my hips and grabbed her big hardened length sliding her tip through my folds a few times before slowly sinking down until she was balls deep inside me.

"Fuck" I moaned as I felt the all too familiar stretch of my baby daddy searing through me.

We stood still for a few minutes allowing me to get used to her size again. I kissed her deeply before I began to move.

Y/N aided my movements by holding my hips and lifting me up and down. Pretty soon the pace was set and all you could hear in the car was the rain hitting the roof and skin slapping against skin.

Y/N moved me and laid me down on the seats and lifted my leg allowing her to sink deeper into me.

"You feel so fucking good inside me" I moaned as she picked up her pace.

"This pussy was made for me. No one is ever going to be able to make you feel as good as I can." Y/N groaned as the sounds of my wet pussy filled the car.

"I don't want no one else. This is your pussy baby" I moaned as I placed my hands on her ass pushing me deeper inside me.

As the words fell from my lips it seemed like that's all was needed to encourage her. Soon she was pounding in and out of me.

Moans and groans filled the enclosed space orgasm after orgasm hit me to the point where I felt like I was going to pass out.

This is where I needed to be. This is exactly where I belonged. I didn't want to be anywhere else Y/N was it for me. No one else could make me feel the way that she did even after the length of time we've been apart.

Her strokes began to slow down and get sloppy so I knew she was close to her own undoing.

"Fill me up baby. Make me yours again" I moaned in her ear before kissing her passionately.

When I felt her paint my walls white with her cum I couldn't help the orgasm that hit me making me scream.

She moved me to where I was now laying on her chest with her still hardened length deep inside me.

We caught our breath placing loving kisses on any exposed piece of skin on one another.

"If this is a dream don't wake me up" Y/N whispered as her arms wrapped tightly around me.

"It's not a dream baby. We're going to make things work this time around I promise" I replied honestly.

After being without her for so long I was damned if I allowed that to happen again.

**Time Skip A Few Years**

Watching the love of my life with the second love of my life is a feeling I'll never get over.

Y/N was currently holding our one year old son Kruz Princeton Y/LN as she was helping him feed a giraffe.

The squeal our son let out when the long tongue from the giraffe touched his hand made me smile widely at my little boy.

For being a year old Kruz wasn't afraid of much. I think he took after my wife with his willingness to try new things.

A lot has changed over the last few years but the two I'm most proud of was becoming a wife and a mother. Both are something I had dreamed of ever since I was a kid. And now that it had finally become a reality for me I couldn't have been happier.

When we first decided to work on being in an actual relationship with each other we decided that maybe couples and individual therapy would be a help and I'll admit it definitely was.

It allowed the two of us to be vulnerable and honest with one another and I couldn't be more thankful for how far we've come since then.

Our friends surround us with nothing but love and support when we expressed that we were working on our relationship.

Kruz was one incredibly lucky little boy who had so many aunts surrounding him with nothing but love and were such a help when Kruz came around to be with me during my games for my new team the NY Gotham. Or Y/N's team the San Diego Wave.

The ones that truly stepped up in ways we didn't expect were Alex, Ashley and Sophia which we all made his godmothers along with Sophia's wife Hunter.

It was crazy to see some of us now married with families of our own but it was incredible to see the change in everyone.

Sophia and Hunter welcomed their daughter Peyton into the world shortly after Kruz was born and Y/N and I were also her godparents. We got together often for Kruz and Peyton to play with each other even at such a young age they loved one another so much.

It wasn't an easy road to get to where we are now but I'd do it over a million times if it meant I ended up in the same place I am now. My career was at an all time high but my personal life is where it truly flourished.

I was never one to seek perfection or to say that things were perfect but I'd have to admit that right about now things were almost perfect for me.

I had an incredible wife who loved me and always did whatever it took to make me happy. And an amazing little boy who was the perfect piece of me and my lover put into human form.

We had to get through all the tough shit to be able to see the beautiful side life had to offer.

If we didn't decide to work at us again daily I truly don't know where I would be right now. Everyday I woke up as Kristie Mewis-Y/LN was a dream come true.

Every time I looked at our son I knew that I wasn't dreaming that this was my reality and I couldn't have been more grateful for what I had now.

**A/N- I truly apologize y'all for the lack of updates lately. Writers block is so fucking real I didn't see me getting out of my slump anytime soon but here we are.

This piece in particular is unedited and shorter than normal. But I'm literally in my hotel room writing this on my phone to get something out for y'all before I go MIA for the next almost 8-9 days while I'm on vacation.

I hope you guys enjoyed this one don't forget to COMMENT & VOTE let me know what y'all thought of this one!

As I stated I'm about to go on a cruise and I'm gonna be vlogging it all. So when everything is edited and uploaded and y'all are interested in seeing what I did while I was gone, just ask and I'll give y'all the info to my YouTube channel!

If you aren't following me yet please do so you can stay updated on everything.

I'll see y'all when I get back!
