The Secret

October 15th, 2019 Seattle was different from every other day it felt warm when its usually cold. The big bad scary keeper and the weird cute/annoying squirrel were finally getting married. Hope and Kelley wanted something simple and intimate which meant only family(USWNT include) and a few friends. Surprisly it was Kelley idea to keep it intimate she wanted to make sure Hope felt relaxed and comfortable and not getting talking out of marrying the love of her life.

Everyone kinda wondering into the ceremony area just in time for the ceremony to begin. Hope stood up in the front by the alter with Carli as her best woman more like making sure she didn’t make a run for it. Braid maids begin to make there way down the allie each one making Hope more nervous and very impatient waiting for wife to be. The USWNT teammates took up the first 2 rows they cleaned up well in either a dress or tuxes. To distract herself from her nervous Hope wished she was in her teammates spot instead looking at Ashlyn and Tobin with their wives either holding hands or Syd who was placing her hand on Krisite’s stomach to feel the kicks of their baby girl.

//Here comes the bride

Something old

Here comes the bride

Something new

Here comes the bride

And something borrowed

And something blue \\

Once the song began to play Hope’s deep thoughts were interrupted she felt like time was moving incredibly slow. Kelley finally made her appearance with her father in arm making their way slowly to Hope. “Take good care of my baby” “I will sir”. She takes Kelley hands into hers she leans in to give her a simple kiss on the cheek making their family and friends say not yet The moment they had been waiting for was finally there their entire relationship had been nothing but nontraditional however they decided to do at least one thing traditional regular vows. During the ceremony Julie and Christen would whisper to each other very softly that only the other person could hear “That is going to be us very soon”. A beautiful ceremony however no one really pay attention to what the officiator was saying their eyes were focus on the couple. Love was in the air everyone in love and happy.

“I pronounce you wife and wife you may now kiss your bride” Hope pulled Kelley in close for what she thought a simple normal kiss however Hope had other ideas for their first official kiss. Pulling her wife close in attempt to deepen the kiss which only last a couple seconds before Kelley pulls back blushing redder than a tomato. The girls being the whistling and the cat calls just to make sure they do their share of embarrassing the newly weds.

Hope and Kelley went with their families then with their teammates already hearing what they had to say.

Alex: “Congratulations you both look beautiful”

Ash: “Never thought I would see the day squirrel and hope ever get married”

Ali: “Ash be nice, Congratulations the ceremony was beautiful”

Tobin: “I agree with Ash”

Hope: “Alex, Ali control your wives, Can you guys be nice for a day you can go back to doing whatever you guys do tomorrow”

Kelley: “Babe come on we have to take some pictures before we head into the reception See you guys in a bit”

After all the congratulations and thanking everyone for attending the newly weds finally had a moment alone just the two of them. It finally kicked it that they actually got married and it wasn’t a dream although it felt like one. The couple found a bench away from where the every one just to have a moment alone.

Kelley: “We did it we really got married” While looking down at their rings she just couldn’t believe it.

Hope: “I still can’t believe it, it feels like a dream”

Kelley: “The sooner we got back to the party the sooner we can get out of here and prove its not a dream”

Without thinking twice about it just stood up grabbing her wife’s hand heading back to the party. Kelley and Hope had planned the wedding down to very little detail they wanted their wedding to be perfect.

“I would like to introduce for the first time Mrs and Mrs O’Hara-Solo” The couple looked more relax and natural their alone time had come in handy.

// ‘Cause all of me

Loves all of you

Love your curves and all your edges

All your perfect imperfections

Give your all to me

I'll give my all to you

You're my end and my beginning

Even when I lose I'm winning

'Cause I give you all of me

And you give me all of you, oh oh \\

Although it was the couple special day they didn’t want all the attention so they called over more people to come and join them on their dance. The dj played a couple more songs until Pineo shouted out “Tequila Bitches”.

Pineo, Syd, Ashlyn, Tobin , Kling, Moe, JJ and Christen made their way to the bar to take shots before going to the dance floor again. Alex, Ali and Krisite were usually the first in line to take shots however this time they have precious cargo with them preventing them for having a drink for a couple months. Syd and Kristie had announced they were pregnant in June and due in December and Alex & Tobin and Ali & Ashlyn had announced they were pregnant a couple of weeks before the wedding .Now they had to conform with being their wives personal babysitter for the night.

Hope and Kelley were bouncing around from people to people trying to spent as much time as possible with everyone that was invited. They felt the most comfortable with their teammates since they had already experienced the feeling before and they were a lot more fun than their family. The Dj played a slow song to get all the couples dancing Christen and Julie thought twice about dancing together however with the tequila and the love atmosphere they went against their regular judgement. Everyone was already buzzed but Alex, Ali and Kristie of course as the song continued to play everyone started to get touchy moving from side to side pulling each other closer and closer. Spinning and twirling was their favorite dance move Julie
spins Christen however when she pulls her in closer she leans in for an innocent simple kiss. Tobin had happen to be looking their way however she
thought to herself I’m really drunk I’m seeing things.

Tobin: “Alexxx did you see that?”

Alex: “See what babe”

Tobin: “Julie and Christen kissed a few seconds ago”

Alex: “Tobin you had to much to drink your seeing things lets go get you some water to get you sobered up”

Tobin: “But Alex I know what I saw …”

Alex: “Tobin babe come on please”

Alex eventually got Tobin to listen to her trying to sober her wife was the hard part. Ashlyn and Syd ended up taking Tobin with them to the bar again for more tequila. Since their drunk wives were ignoring them they sat together to catch up and compare their pregnancies and what gender they wanted. Baby Leroux-Mewis was having a party of her moving around kicking and punching cause Kristie to become very uncomfortable in the chair. As if the baby had read her mothers thoughts she stopped kicking and punching now she was only moving around allowing to the women to observe the dance floor making sure that their wives weren’t doing anything stupid. However they directed their attention to Julie and Christen who were dancing awfully close to each other anyone would of thought that they were a couple. Alex then thought about what Tobin had told her about seeing them kiss.

Ali: “Is it me or are they too close to each other for just being best friends?”

Kristie: “They are dancing to close to each other”

Alex: “Tobin could of sworn they kisses when we were all dancing earlier”

The conversation ended up dying off jumped on to how hungover there wives were going to be the next morning. They decided to call it a night when they were making their way to the bar again they didn’t want to go back to the hotel however when the mention the baby was tired and wanted to rest its like they snapped out of until they got to room. As soon as they made it to the bed they KO before their head even hit the pillow.

~Next morning ~

The babies decided they wanted to start the party again early in the morning squirming around making their mothers very uncomfortable. Good thing they had planed an early dinner instead of brunch giving them plenty of time to nurse their hang over or recover from their late night activities (Hope & Kelley). Since they had a horrible headache and couldn’t stand bright lights they order room service allowing them extra time to relax and feel better.

Around 5pm they began to get ready for their dinner with the girls before they went their own ways. Dinner was held a small but fancy restaurant of
walking distance from the hotel they were currently staying at. For once everyone was on time to dinner Syd and Kiriste where always late to dinner or any get together that was planned. Menus were passed around the table trying to decide what they wanted or if they wanted to share with someone else at the table. It took 2 waiters to take the tables order just to make everything faster however is still took a long time for their food to arrive. They engaged in a conversation of who would get called up for the next camp along with what vacation they want to take this year when Ali tabs Alex and whispers “I think Tobin was telling the truth” as they looked over to Julie and Christen. Then out of the blue Tobin speaks up

Tobin: “JJ Press how long have you guys been engaged ?”
