''Ready?''

Brittany turns to Liv after parking her car and chuckles. ''I have to ask you that.''

Olivia bites her lip and glances at the house she grew up in. ''Honest answer?''

''You know that I hate lying.''

''I'm not.'' She whispers. ''I still feel like it's a trick.''

''We will leave as soon as we see that, that is the case.'' Brittany murmurs reasuringly. ''Maybe we can make it to Ash's match instead of just picking her up.''

''I thought she had no match and would join San and the boys in Oaks.''

''Yeah we thought so too but it's a friendly match against Cal.''

''The college?''

Brittany nods her head and chuckles. ''Ash might receive her scholarship offer after the match, but nobody but James and I know.''

''For real?''

Brittany just nods her head, laughing as she sees the excitement clear on Liv's face and bites her lip. ''Do you know how much it means to me and San to have your and Ab's support in this?''

''You mean taking Ash in?'' Liv pats her leg as she hums and smiles. ''We all know that you don't do something this major without being one hundred percent sure about it B, we can all see how good she fits into your family and that automatically makes her fit into our whole familia.''

''We would have never thought that San would have the biggest family in the end, but with you it just makes sense.'' She adds chuckling. ''The both of you complete each other and actually talk about shit, most of us ignore the big elephant in the room until we have to talk about it.''

Brittany chuckles and nods her head to the house. ''Talking about the big elephant, let's get done with this so we can pick Ash up and enjoy a weekend away with our wives and kids.'' She slides out of the car as Liv nods her head and locks it as soon as Liv slammed her door closed, she walks around, wrapping her injured arm around Liv's shoulder as she hesitates and kisses her temple. ''I am right here with ya.'' She whispers.

She drops her arm as Liv nods her head and eyes the door after she rang the doorbell, she inwardly rolls her eyes as she watches Liv's mother open the door all dolled up and quickly follows Liv inside as her mother pulls her in.

She gently tugs her back by the back of her shirt as her mother keeps yanking on Liv's arm and just shoots the woman a warning glance. ''You brought a guest.'' Her mother states more than asks.

''I did.'' Olivia confirms. ''You already know Brittany.''

Brittany smirks inwardly as Liv's mother just shoots her a look filled with hatred and plasters on an overly sweet grin. ''Nice to see you again Mrs Holt.'' She keeps her hand on the small of Liv's back as she hears her soft snicker and looks down at her.

''Come on your dad is in the living room and you have to change Olivia.''

''Change?'' Liv asks in confusion as she walks into the living room, Brittany grunts softly as she walks into Liv not having noticed her stopping in her tracks because she looked around and quickly wraps an arm around her.

''What the fuck.'' She whispers in surprise as she notices the living room decorated like a cheap altar, she looks around blinking as she notices the McDonald's dude sitting beside Olivia's dad and snickers. ''We are leaving.'' She states hooking her arm through Liv's.

''Come on, let's change sweetheart.'' Olivia's mother mutters the anger clearly heard through the cute act.

''Change for what?'' Liv asks with an eyebrow raised. ''To marry that asshole?''

Brittany laughs as everyone nods her head and glances at Liv. ''So, soccer?''

''Fuck yes, let's go and watch our girl score her scholarship.''

''It's your fathers last wish!''

Brittany turns on her heels to face the McDonald guy, wrapping her arms around Liv as she stands still, still facing her and shoots her a wink. ''He doesn't look as sick as told.''

''It is my last wish.'' Liv's father confirms. ''Sickness isn't always shown.''

''Yeah well too bad your daughter is already married and that for almost thirteen years now.'' Brittany breaths out as she notices the amusement in Liv's eyes. ''And it's quite difficult to trick a doctor, but even for someone who only has knowledge in soccer injures you still look quite alive.''

''Stop brainwashing our daughter.'' Olivia's mother sneers. ''This is where she belongs.''

Olivia turns on her heels and glares at her parents. ''No I belong with my wife and daughter, sadly I fell for your shit and skipped a few hours of fun with our family for this.''

''It will cause you to burn in hell.'' The guy sputters out.

''Yeah well you might see her there again, but I am sure her place is heaven is secured while hell belongs to you and all other homophobic assholes.'' Brittany quips, she opens the front door gently pushing Liv out and turns on her heels. ''I don't know how much of the shit you spewed is true but.'' She salutes Liv's dad and winks. ''I wish you a nice stay in hell sir.''

She slams the door closed enjoying the loud laughter that leaves Liv's mouth and unlocks her car. ''Get in, now I need to see Ash kicking ass before I do it myself.''

''Your wife will kill me if I allow you to let loose again.'' Liv muses as they slide into the car. ''Let's go before they run out of the house and the neighbors think we really ditched a wedding.''

''We did.'' Brittany breaths out laughing as she pulls out of the driveway, she turns on the radio and shakes her head. ''I imagined god knows how many worst case shit, but this is still the weirdest thing ever.''

Liv nods her head in agreement and leans her head back. ''Can I turn the sound up?'' She asks softly as her favorite song filters through the speaker, Brittany nods her head reaching up to lower the roof of her convertible and slides on her sunglasses.

''Go for it.''

She drives down the road chuckling as Liv starts singing Power loudly and shakes her head, she takes a right turn, turning the volume down as they near the stadium and chuckles as she grumbles. ''We are here.'' She breaths out.

''Let's go and watch Ash kick ass!''

Brittany laughs closing the rooftop of her car and slides out after killing the engine, she locks her car again as Liv walks around the car to join her and wraps her injured arm around her shoulders as they walk towards the field.

''Hey James.'' She calls out as she walks up to the dugouts, she smiles as the coach of Ash's team immediately turns to her and nods her head to Liv. ''You mind the both of us joining you?''

''Never.''

''What is the score?'' Liv asks curiously as they watch Ashlynn get ready to steal the ball from a midfielder.

''1-2 for them and ten minutes left.''

''Who scored?'' Liv asks curiously.

''Ash for us and Jefferson twice for Cal.''

Brittany nods her head catching the ball as a defender kicks it over the sidelines before Ash can rush forward and holds it out for her to take. ''A bit more aggression kiddo.'' She murmurs as she looks at her in surprise, she shoots her a wink as she nods her head and watches her hand one of the midfielders the ball so she can rush forward.

''James, do your sign for rainbow.'' She advises as she notices Ashlynn trying to dribble past a defender.

''I don't have one.'' James breaths out frowning, Brittany sighs inwardly and cups her hands beside her mouth.

''Ash, Nic's favorite trick!'' She turns to James as soon as Ashlynn followed her advice without second guessing it and smirks as she hears the team cheer. ''Learn them one, they gotta play more with tricks to surprise opponents.''

''Why the hell are you training little one's?'' James asks with a shake of her head. ''You could easily train bigger league's Britt.''

''I am training my son and I did ever since he was seven.'' Brittany breaths out shrugging. ''I won't leave the Angels just because others would like to have me standing in the dugouts James.''

''Britt.'' Liv murmurs nudging her, she turns to the field tilting her head as she notices two defenders blocking Ash and licks her lips. ''Do you mind?'' She asks turning to James, she chuckles as she just shakes her head and turns back to the field. ''Ash, legs!''

She smirks as Ash back heel passes the ball through the defenders legs watching a midfielder take the pass and watches her lob the ball into the penalty area. ''Chest!'' She calls out. ''Rover, scissor!''

She laughs as the second striker scores with a scissor kick right after Ashlynn passed the ball towards her with her chest and turns to James. ''See easy, one word, quick acting two goals within five minutes.''

She nods her head to the field as Rover steals the ball again right after kick off and smirks. ''Try it.''

''Side!'' James calls out after she nodded her head, Brittany leans her injured arm on Liv's shoulder as she watches Rover pass the ball to a midfielder sprinting over the sideline and watches Ashlynn and Rover sprint into the penalty area.

''Rover, head!''

''Too high.'' Brittany muses, she cups her hand beside her mouth and leans back so she won't yell in Liv's ear. ''Ash, beauty!''

''Beauty?'' Liv and James ask in confusion as they both turn to her, Brittany nods her head to Ash as she performs a scorpion kick and laughs as she scores after the ball bounced into the goal gracing the underside of the crossbar.

''Beauty.'' She breaths out chuckling, she holds her uninjured hand out as Ash sprints back to her half and winks as she high fives her after thanking her. She turns to James and pats her shoulder. ''I will send you some things you can yell out, the other coach will be too late acting against it as soon as you called it out.''

''Just don't use too much too often.'' She adds. ''They will quickly see through your tactic if you do and tell your girls that they can play a bit more aggressively from time to time, it doesn't mean that they tackle every chance they get but use more body strength to throw the opponent off.''

''Looks like I need to visit more Angel matches.'' James muses. ''I can learn a lot from those.''

''Just tell me or Ash when you want to join and I will keep a spot in the dugouts free for you.'' Brittany tells her with a soft chuckle as the referee blows his whistle, she watches the coach from Cal walk onto the field to shake hands with everyone smiling as James follows her lead and turns to Liv. ''She walks with a mission.'' She breaths out chuckling as she watches the coach quickly shake several hands to reach Ashlynn.

She tilts her head as Liv just hums and smiles as she watches Ashlynn's jaw drop after talking to the coach for a few minutes. ''And she received it.'' Liv murmurs, Brittany hums in agreement raising an eyebrow in surprise as Ash mentions her hand to them and glances at Liv.

''Wha..''

''Britt?'' She turns to Ashlynn as she cuts her off before she can ask what that look could mean and stumbles back as she crashes against her.

''Hey kid.'' She breaths out chuckling.

''Do you have a moment?''

''Of course, what's up?'' She turns to the coach walking over and smiles. ''Hello coach McGuire.''

''Had to know you were the mastermind behind another star athlete.'' The coach muses as they shake hands, Brittany shakes her head and chuckles.

''Oh no she already had the skills long before we met.'' She breaths out. ''She surprised me with them too.''

''Coach McGuire just offered me a full ride.'' Ashlynn breaths out nervously bouncing on her feet. ''Could you please read over the papers with me before I say yes?''

Brittany nods her head and turns to McGuire. ''How long does she have to reply?''

''By Sunday?'' She asks with a slight grin. ''This is my last week of scouting and I have to send the papers in by the end of the day, so let's say till lunch?''

''I will mail them to you tomorrow morning.'' Brittany promises, she takes the big envelope and the contact card and turns to Ashlynn. ''We will go over it tonight.'' She smiles slightly as she notices her suppressing her joy and nods her head as she turns to them after James told everyone to go and shower. ''We will wait here.''

She turns to coach McGuire as Ashlynn runs off and licks her lips. ''You just made her dream come true McGuire.''

''I know, she desperately tried to hide her joy but it's so clear to see and that is why I spontaneously decided to do this match.'' McGuire breaths out chuckling. ''I heard from several players that a talented striker is making a name in the LAFC team and I had to take a look.''

''I don't think you will regret it.'' Brittany breaths out. ''What can she do beside playing and what does she need to keep her spot?''

''We offer several degrees she can easily do beside playing and she will need an average C+ to keep her spot on the team.''

''She is an average A- student now and that with her focus on school, soccer and working part time so I am sure she can keep that up too.'' Brittany breaths out. ''How many training and matches do you have a month?''

''Maximal two matches a month and three training's a week unless a rival match is coming up then we will have four.'' McGuire tilts her head and smiles slightly. ''Did she ask you to join?''

Brittany shakes her head and chuckles. ''No only James and I knew about the scouting, we didn't tell anyone about it so they wouldn't be nervous.''

''And what is your relationship to her?''

''My wife and I are her legal guardians since last weekend.'' Brittany explains, she holds out a card after fishing one out of her wallet and smiles. ''She has her own contact details but in case she doesn't answer, here is mine and my wife's.''

''Can I also contact you if I decide to have a friendly match against the little Angels?''

''You sure can but this year we are booked, they are fighting hard to win champion state for the fifth time in a row and I don't want to power them out.''

McGuire nods her head and smiles. ''I will keep that in mind.'' She breaths out as her team walks out, she holds out her hand and shakes Brittany's. ''It was nice to see you again Lopez, keep up the good work with your team and maybe we will play against each other soon.''

''Who knows.'' Brittany breaths out chuckling. ''Have a nice weekend McGuire.''

''Brittany! Can I have an autograph please?''

Liv breaths out a laugh as she watches Brittany's eyebrows raise in surprise the second half of the Cal team sprints over and reaches into her purse, she pulls out the marker she always carries with her and holds it out for her. ''Have fun B.''

She turns on her heels as she hears the doors open again and smiles as Ashlynn walks out. ''Hey kiddo.'' She greets as she walks over to her, she hugs her as she just smiles brightly and kisses her cheek. ''I think celebrating is in order tonight, you can be proud of yourself Ash.''

''Thank you Liv.'' Ashlynn breaths out with a shy grin, she nods her head to Brittany surrounded by several players and chuckles. ''Does this happen often?''

''Not as much since she ended her career.'' Liv breaths out chuckling. ''I think she forgot that she is still a big shot in the soccer world though.''

''She will always be the big shot as long as she is the carrier of several world records.'' Ashlynn muses. ''We are driving down to Oaks right?''

''Yeah, San, the boys, Abi, Soph and Luke are already there.''

Ash nods her head and bites her lip. ''Do you think we can grab something from Starbucks? I am starving.''

''Mention coffee and Brittany will take a break on our way over.'' Olivia tells her chuckling softly. ''Come on let's grab her and jump in the car.'' She places her hand on her back as she nods her head and leads her over to Brittany so they can safe her from being bombarded by questions and to ride off before traffic really starts.

Three hours later

''Auntie B!''

Brittany laughs as Jay rushes over the second she walks out into the backyard and crouches down to hug him after handing Liv the cake she bought. ''Hey my favorite Kendrick.'' She greets with a grin.

''Really? He is your favorite?'' Anna scoffs out, she looks up and smirks.

''He sure is, he is cute you are not.'' She chuckles as Jay giggles and kisses his head.

Santana laughs stopping Anna before she can hit her wife and shakes her head. ''She is already injured, don't make it worse please.''

Brittany laughs standing up to greet Anna and Snowie with a hug and turns to Ash. ''Don't be shy.'' She breaths out as she notices her shy grin. ''They are as crazy as they seem on screen.''

''Who is this beauty?'' Snowie asks with a grin.

''Aunt Snowie, aunt Anna, Jay this is Ashlynn my girlfriend.'' Nicolas breaths out as he slides behind his girlfriend after Liv greeted everyone. ''Ash please meet my aunts Anna, Brittany more known as Snowie and Jay.''

''Nice to meet you.'' Ashlynn breaths out shyly as she holds out her hand.

''We don't shake hands with family kid.'' Anna tells her with a grin, she steps forward to hug her and laughs as she tenses. ''You might not see us often, but everyone here belongs to our family.''

Santana pecks her wife's lips after they both watched Ashlynn slowly hug everyone and glances at Liv. ''Y'all brought dessert?'' she asks in surprise. ''I thought we wanted to go out for dinner.''

''Dessert before dinner.'' Liv breaths out with a shrug, Brittany laughs as Santana frowns and kisses her head.

''We have to celebrate something love.''

''And what?'' She laughs as everyone turns to her, curiosity clear on their faces and turns to Ash with an eyebrow raised. ''You want to tell them?''

Ashlynn nods her head and rubs the back of her neck with a shy grin. ''Today's match was a friendly one against Cal.''

''College?'' Abi asks curiously, she nods her head and licks her lips.

''After we won the match 4-2 thanks to some spontaneous coaching.'' Ashlynn nods her head to Brittany. ''The coach approached me.''

''And?''

Brittany chuckles as she hears everyone yell and shakes her head. ''Don't scare her guys.''

Ashlynn leans back into Nicolas arms as he hugs her from behind and smiles slightly. ''She offered me a full scholarship ride with guarantee to stand in the basic eleven after I graduated high school.''
