"Let's have a baby" Alex peppers kisses starting from your ear lobe before working her way down.

By now she knew the moment you were the most open, relaxed and honest was during sex.

Upon hearing those words you felt like you were stuck in a time loop. What is it they say is the definition of insanity 'doing the same thing over again and expecting different results' well that is what this is. Alex sees a family on your morning walk and within ten minutes you are getting questioned on your future or when she saw how one of the opposition's players celebrated their game by playing with their child on the pitch "that could be us" she said.

"Really? You want to have this conversation now" you push her off you, what this was leading to is now the last thing on your mind.

"I don't understand you. You are amazing with children and they love you. Why don't you want one of you own? Why don't you want one with me?"

You breathe a sigh of frustration. Alex knew exactly what she was doing by asking you this but what angers you more is that she already knew the answer.

"Alex, we have talked about this" you bury your head in your hands on the side of the bed "I do want children just not yet. I want to live my life for me. I want to travel the world and make memories with you. We have our careers, I play in Portland and you are in Orlando. I have things I want to achieve. It would be wrong for me to bring a child into this world when I cannot make it my number 1 priority"

"Y/N it's easy for you to say that, you are younger than me. My body is on a timer and I'm running out of time." Alex begins to explain.

"What are you saying?" You ask.

"It is clear we are at different points in our lives. We want different things"

"I want you Alex why isn't this enough?" You stand and begin pacing the room.

"I'm sorry Y/N" Alex makes her way to the door "these past 6 years have been the happiest of my life and I can never thank you enough for that but I'm ready for the next chapter in my life and it's clear you are not"

You spent the rest of your off season travelling just like how you and Alex planned only now it was a solo trip. You used the time alone to think about what you wanted in life. For many years the first thing that came to mind was Alex now that wasn't an option so you chose to focus on your career.

Before the season started you had national camp and the SheBelieves to win. When you stand in reception your eyes scan the room for one person in particular but you cannot see her. It was the first time in a very long time that you wouldn't be sharing with Alex but you welcomed the change.

After being assigned rooms, the team go their separate ways to unpack. As luck had it you were sharing with Christen.

"Have you seen Alex?" You ask whilst in the bathroom.

At first you don't think Christen has heard you so you go back into the bedroom and repeat your question.

"Ermm" Christen hesitates "she is injured"

"Is she ok?" You try not to sound overly concerned but deep down you were worried.

"I think so"

When you get to the meeting room you take a seat near Kelley and you try to call Alex but she doesn't pick up, you try again, still no answer. You don't think anything of it at first then you see Kelley's phone go off and Alex's photo appears on her screen.

"Can you give us a moment Y/N?" Kelley says asking for privacy.

"What?" You reply.

"I need to speak to Alex" Kelley adds.
