DS: Finn Stephen (nb)Number: 4Only three months after they got married, Christian and Sophie discovered that they were going to have a baby. The couple were certainly not planning on starting their family so soon, and this unexpected surprise put a noticeable strain on their relationship. Christian had just gained a starting position as a midfielder on the Revolution and was quickly becoming a fan favorite -- especially among the ladies. Sophie was a month away from graduating and had already been approached by the Boston Symphony to play for them. Christian and Sophie were worried that having a child would throw a wrench into their plans for the future, but both agreed that there was no way they could give their baby up. Tension in the apartment was high, and Christian and Sophie began arguing about the pettiest things, such as doing the laundry or making the bed. Their arguments grew so heated that Christian actually moved out and took up residence at a hotel when Sophie was five months pregnant. (The tabloids had a field day with this; rumors of an illicit affair between Christian and an up-and-coming actress surfaced, though of course there was no truth in them.) These circumstances only made both of them more miserable, although neither one realized that this was the cause at the time.The couple hardly corresponded with each other until Sophie went into labor. She called Christian immediately, and he rushed over to the apartment -- no small feat in Boston traffic. Sophie's labor progressed remarkably quickly, and she very nearly gave birth in the car on the way to the hospital.An hour later, Christian and Sophie welcomed their son Finn Stephen into the world. Holding his baby boy, Christian saw all that he would have missed out on and immediately regretted not having been there for Sophie during her pregnancy. The couple realized that they still loved each other immensely and that they were meant to be together. When Finn was cleared by the hospital to go home, Christian went with them. Now the family is stronger than it ever was, and Christian and Sophie are enjoying their son like every new parent. Christian even brought Finn to practice one day to show him off to his teammates. The couple are still trying to find a balance between work and home life, but they know that if they stay committed, they will make it work.
