I'm nervous, my mom and dad are coming over, but they don't know Ash and I have two kids now.

It's kind of funny, we are parents, but they don't know. We didn't even ask or inform them.

Alex and Jax are upstairs in their rooms. They are waiting until we ask them to come down.

I don't know how my parents are gonna react to the news. I hope good, otherwise we are gonna have to deal with some problems.

We are sitting on the couch, Ashlyn is sitting next to me. Waiting until my parents arrive. We are watching some European soccer, Olympique Lyonnais vs Wolfsburg, the UWCL final. It's three to two.

Morgan did play in Lyon, last season she came back to the NWSL, to the Thorns with Allie, Kling, Christen, and Tobs. The Thorns became third-time NWSL champions last year. This year it's very close. We, the Pride, and the Thorns are very close to the battle of the first place. After a few years using play-offs, we now only use the regular system, like they do in Europe.

While we are talking about some soccer stuff, the doorbell rings.

Nervous I stand up, Ash gives me a kiss and says some comforting words, then I walk to the door.

"Hello, sweetheart."

"Hey mom, hey dad." I give them a kiss on their cheek and welcome them in the house. We sit down in our living room. "How is life? Ready for France?"

"Sure, we are going to crush them all."

I laugh. I totally forgot about Vancouver, so my parents are looking at her like they are crazy.

"Do you have a new dog?" Dad asks.

"Yeah, her name is Vancouver, she is around 3 years old, adopted from a new foster station in town not that long ago."

"Kyle is gonna be so happy with an extra dog for Luna."

Luna is Kyle's dog, it's the same breed as Logan, Logan is a few years younger only.

"Do you want to drink something?" I ask.

"Sure, some water please", they answer both.

Ash is going to get them their drinks, I think it's the good moment to get my son and daughter.

"Ash, can you get Jax and Alex please, they are upstairs."

"Sure."

I hear my girlfriend shouting their names and see the confused look in my parents' eyes. While Ash is getting some drinks, Jax and Alex are coming. I see they are wearing the Pride jersey we bought them with Harris #24 on the back.

"Jax, Alex, these are my parents."

"Hello, Ms. and Mrs. Krieger. I'm Jax Harris."

"Hi, Ms. and Mrs. Krieger. I'm Alex Harris."

"Ash, I didn't know you had a part of your family here. You could tell us that, then we would meet up another time." Ash, Alex, Jax and I begin laughing.

I decide to break the news to them because my parents are looking even more confused after we began laughing.

"Mom, dad, these are your grandchildren."

"Huh?"

"This are our daughter and son, Jax and Alex Harris."

"What the hell?" My mother is looking really, really confused at the moment.

"SURPRISE!" We yell and laugh.

"It looks like it was a good surprise babe." Ash is standing behind me with her hands around my shoulders. My mom and dad have stood up and went to hug us.

"Ali, you are not doing this to us again after this."

"Nope dad. I would love to have you around for a longer time, not having you dead after a heart attack."

"Alexandra Blaire Krieger! Don't do that to your dad."

"Sorry mom, you had to see the confusing look in his eyes when Baby Kriegs and Jax walked in."

"Oh, and that dog. That was our dog when we lived with our parents until a year ago, we took her with us in the foster home, and now she lives here", Alex explains.

"You have some explaining to do my dear", mom says. We laugh.

Oh oh, it's gonna be a long, long day.
