Freya's POV
"We brought pizza." Jasmine Hadid says as she and all of my Mile High FC teammates come into the living room of my home.
"Ooh yay" I say as Raven throws a blanket over me. "Ooh that's warm."
"It just come out of the dryer." My wife says.
"I can tell." I say. "It's all snuggly."
My wife chuckles then she kisses my head.
"I'll be back with your pizza." Raven says then she disappears behind me.
Once Raven disappears I look at my teammates.
"Hi." I say.
"Are you okay?" Alexia asks.
"Uh walking's a bit fucked up right now on account of being in a coma for a couple months." I say. "But overall I feel good."
"Are you going to play again?" Ona asks.
"I'd like to." I say. "Whether or not I can physically remains to be seen."
"FRIZZY?" I hear Raven shout. "COKE OR ROOT BEER?"
"ROOT BEER PLEASE." I shout then I grab the remote and turn on Disney plus.
"Disney plus?" Tierna asks with a smile.
"Cartoons make me feel better." I say.
"DON'T START WITHOUT ME." Cosette shouts from somewhere.
"You live with loud women." Aitana says.
"Mhmm." I say with a smile. "But I love them so it's okay."
"Aww." I hear Cosette say then she appears in my field of vision. "Now lemme cuddle."
"Like I have a choice." I say then Cosette lays on the couch with me and snuggles into my side.
"Here you go." Raven says as she stands next to me.
"Thank you." I say as I grab my plate of pizza and my drink. "I would've saved you a seat, but someone is snuggly tonight."
"It's fine." Raven says with a smile then she sits down on the love seat next to me.
"You all better hurry and get your food." Cosette says as she looks at my teammates. "The movie will be starting soon."
Rather quickly Jaelin leads all of our teammates to the kitchen where they all get pizza then everyone returns to the living room.
"Where's Katana?" I ask then everyone looks at me. "What?"
"Mikaela got shot a couple days ago." Tierna says.
"Excuse me." I say.
"Yeah." Raven says then she tells me the story.
Apparently a Russian sympathizer shot Mikaela to get back at Katana for Katana killing 24 Russian's when the Russians killed Katana's first wife, their son, and her first wife's family.
"What the fuck?" I question then I subtly look towards Everest
"Katana handled it." Everest mouths.
Good.
"Do they need anything?" I question.
"She's back home and resting along with their newborn." Sophia says.
"Well then I'll be taking them dinner tomorrow." I say.
"Good idea." Raven says. "Oh and FYI the June Friendlies are gonna be in Denver because the stadiums we were in may be needed for the Copa America."
"May be?" I question.
"It's a long story."
"Looks like I missed a lot." I mumble.
"So what movie are we watching?" Katja asks.
"My favorite." I say as I press play. "Ratatouille."

Raven's POV
"How have you all not gotten tired of this song?" I question with a smile as I come out of the showers here in the Mile High FC locker room.
"Cause it fucking slaps." Jasmine Hadid says as the teams' favorite song of Freya's plays over the speaker while I change into my clothes.
Stop, drop, shut 'em down, open up shop singin'
Oh, no, that's how Ruff Ryders roll
I'm goin' down down baby, yo' street in a Range Rover
Street sweeper baby, cocked ready to let it go
Shimmy shimmy cocoa what? Listen to it pound
Light it up and take a puff, pass it to me now
I got that wood grain with the leather seats
I got the windows so dark you need a flashlight to see me
Smokin' on that doja
Four of my buddies in the back screamin', "No Limit soldiers!"
One, two, three and to the fo'
Snoop Doggy Dogg and Dr. Dre is at the do'
Ready to make an entrance so back on up
Cause you know we're about to rip shit up
Give me the microphone first so I can bust it like a bubble
LA and Denver together, man you know you in trouble
Ain't nuthin' but a G thang, baby
Y'all loc'ed out people so we're crazy
I remember walking you from school and homies hate me
But I ain't trippin' cause I knew one day girl you'll be my lady
You'll probably have my babies I know it sounds crazy
But thugs need love and if you real girl save me
Wake up, wake up, wake up it's the 1st of the month
Get up, get up, get up go cash your checks and get up
Wake up, wake up, wake up it's the 1st of the month
Get up, get up, get up everybody singin'
Give me two pairs
Cause I need two pairs
So I can get to stompin' in my Air Force Ones
Get to stompin' in my Air Force Ones
Sayin' Colt 45 and two Zigzags
Baby, that's all we need
And we can go to the park after dark
We can smoke that tumbleweed
As the marijuana burn we can take our turn
Singin' them dirty rap songs
Stop and hit the bong like Cheech and Chong
Sellin' tapes from here to Hong Kong
So roll, roll, roll my joint
Pick out the seeds and stems
Feeling high as hell, flyin' through Palmdale
Skatin on Dayton rims
So roll, roll, the '83
Cadillac Coupe De Ville
If my tapes and my CDs just don't sell
I bet my Caddy will
I wanna be a baller, shot caller
Twenty inch blades on my Impala
Caller gettin' paid tonight
Swisher rolled tight, gotta sprayed by Ike
I hit the highway
Making money then fly away
But there's got to be a better way
A better way, better way, yeah
Boys and girls, wanna hear a true story?
Saturday night I was at this real wild party
They had the liquor overflowing the cup
About 5 or 6 strippers trying to work for a buck
And I took one girl outside with me
Her name's Maria, she went to junior high with me
I said, "Why you up in there dancing for cash?
I guess a whole a lot's changed since I seen you last."
She said
What would you do if your son was at home
Crying all alone on the bedroom floor
And he's hungry
And the only way to feed him is to
Sleep with a man for a little bit of money
And his daddy's gone
Somewhere smoking rock now, in and out of lockdown
I ain't got a job now
So for you this is just a good time
But for me this is what I call life, yeah
"See." Jasmine says. "It's fucking great."
"Yes it is." I say then I pack up my stuff.
After I pack up I look around the room for Freya, but I don't see her so I leave the locker room and search for my wife.
"You looking for Freya?" Amaka asks as she comes out of her office.
"Yeah." I say. "I saw she was done with the medical tests."
"She's outside on the Patio." Amaka, our team manager, says.
"Thanks." I say then I head outside to where my wife is supposed to be. "There you are."
"Here I am." Freya says as she looks out at the mountains in the distance while I sit next to her.
"You okay?"
"I don't wanna waste my life." Freya says.
"Nobody does." I say.
"And maybe football isn't what I wanna do." Freya admits.
"That's fine." I say. "You play as long as you want then we can disappear from public life and live our lives."
Over the next hour Freya and I have a very long and frank conversation about what we want to do with the rest of our lives.
"...And maybe we can do that sex tape idea we had?" Freya questions.
Our idea is for us two to make a few professional grade adult films a year with either celebrities, teammates, or porn stars.
"I'm down." I say with a smile.
"Then let's do it." Freya says. "Let's fucking do it."
