I dont know, Henry turned to Rebecca. And you. She winked and Henry looked like he was about to pass out. Her cheeks were flushed, her smile was wide, and he felt like his heart was three times bigger watching Hayes press her chubby little palms to Rebeccas cheeks as they stared into each others eyes. It was fairly safe to say the all-knowing Coach Beard was aware something was afoot, too. Ted didnt move, just stood there, hands in his pockets beside the coffee table, worry set between his brows as he studied her. It had been an entire year. They all laughed, starting to get up from their seats and heading over to the dining table that had been sitting, beautifully decorated with wreaths and dried fruit, candles and glittery baubles, all day - the children far too frightened to touch anything for fear theyd get in trouble for disrupting how pretty it was. Didnt you blow off McCartneys party last christmas to give out presents with the gaffer. Roy chimed in, throwing his thumb over his shoulder to indicate Ted who was smiling, watching the exchange.

Yep, Mae knows. Ive had it before and I quite like it. Ted sighed around a smile and a nervous little shrug. Only for another thirty-five minutes., Well then, Ted started to sway them playfully. You alright, honey bunch? Ted questioned, looking over at Rebecca from where he had his shoulder rested against hers. Nora and I used to play. She hopped up from the sofa, using Teds knee for support before dashing from the room with Henry hot on her heels. You know where the kitchen is. Rebecca responded, dumbly, as she closed the door behind her and watched her mother toddle off to the kitchen, an exuberant Ted! Shed offered up her home, and laid their still very secret relationship out on a silver platter for his extended family to scrutinize. Ill pass. Rebecca tried to hand it off, but her mother pushed it back towards her. Well, see, Mom. Ted took a deep breath. Chapter 1 Hey, I can look, theres nothing wrong with looking. She complained and Keeley backed her up, eyes set on Rebecca who was studiously not participating in a conversation about how good looking Sam Obisanya was. Its my own silly fault for not realizing he was hopelessly in love with you.. Ted! Rebecca greeted, shifting in her chair with a cheery smile; broad and beautiful and lighting up her eyes like polished peridot, catching the afternoon light. The third season of Ted Lasso premieres on Apple+ on March 15. She and Ted had only been together for three months at the time, and it was just shy of six months now.

So, when does the rest of your family arrive?

She gestured; both women heading towards the stairs in the hall. Jeff Tweedy. She was so nervous she felt like she might throw up. And Grandma.. Sweetheart, if Im young, youre young., Oh this is a lovely area, is this the Richmond Green? Dont do that. The second season of Ted Lasso has been critiqued and criticized as much as it has been praised. Shes fine, honestly.. She took a step towards him, and his eyes caught on the light reflecting off her patent beige pumps before he shifted and his eyes shot across the room, stepping away from her outstretched hand as he began to pace. There was roasted tomatoes and a large bowl of fruit salad, meanwhile Ted had Henry perched on the end of the kitchen counter and both Lasso boys were sprinkling sugar over the top of what looked like a tray of shortbread. Can you think of some way I could tetris my whole family into that place?. I like them too. She commented with a faraway look coming into her eyes. Where others voices started to shake or warble, Teds became calm. Ted maintained a near-perfect calm until he hung up the phone. Weve been waiting to see that for freakin months!. So weve kinda been keeping our relationship quiet. It didnt work out then, but Nates not over the humiliation. Rebecca still wanted to be a mother. Like last week's episode, this one unveils itself slowly. It was then she had a truly ridiculous, reckless idea. Theyd often been mistaken for brothers, the way they resembled each other as well as their similar manners and how, as kids, they had been inseparable. Your lovechild with Obisanya. Jessie gasped behind her and Rebecca wanted to disappear. Dont start something you dont want to finish with my Mom and son in the house. He winked at her and Rebecca smirked, pushing against him until he fell back on the bed. Well its better than other smells. Ted winked, before closing the door behind him. As The Rolling Stones' "You Can't Always Get What You Want" plays, we see Ted (Jason Sudeikis) slightly smiling as he walks through the locker room. The Lumineers.

This portable projector plays your movies in crisp, high-contrast, 1080p detailno matter where you are. Its a Lasso Family Christmas, apparently.. She tugged a little at her scarf, twisting her neck just a bit to try and cool her skin. She loved Keeley dearly, but she knew exactly who to blame for her smile-related self-consciousness. Whats wrong, sweetheart? Rebecca questioned, crouching down to Phoebes height, wrapping her arm around her little shoulders in what she hoped was a comforting gesture. I guess, for my part, I just didnt wanna share.. If theyre even in the slightest measure like you, or like Henry, Ill adore them too., Ted looked up at her, feeling the warmth spread through his cheeks as he studied her, in complete awe of this woman he couldnt in a million years imagine deserving. Mom wont let me get a dog. Rupert, Reluctantly, she introduced them. We meet a varied cast of people, like Rebecca, the newly-divorced team owner; Roy Kent, the mature, grumpy soccer player who has been playing for years; and Keeley, the fun, beautiful model-turned-PR . He turned his head. You comin? Ted questioned Rebecca, who hadnt yet moved. Some peoples kids. He muttered, grinning and offering Rebecca a wink as he rejoined the party, before narrowing his eyes at Jessie, pointing at her.

Nodding towards her long, bare legs sticking out from beneath her too short pyjama shorts for mixed company. She had her second round of IVF a week after they returned from their honeymoon, trying to convince him she was more than okay to try again, even though he could see in her face it was a problem she was going to continue throwing money at until she got the outcome she wanted. But they werent public, they werent even technically not a secret yet and Rebecca had paled at the concept of meeting his mother. Okay, fine, a little. She couldnt really imagine the stately older woman taking a swing at Rupert, but she kind of wanted to see it, if that is indeed what Jessie was stopping her from doing. Seven? Roy grunted in response and Ted beamed up at him. My mother is still there, in the same house., Youll be fascinated by this, mom, Ted leaned through the space between them, grinning, and Rebecca smiled as she noticed Catherine lean in his direction to hear him out. Ms Welton! Henry exclaimed excitedly, bouncing on the spot and Rebecca blinked, surprised at being remembered. Oh man, I didnt mean, heck, Rebecca, I mean, shes real great, I didnt, I dont,. I dont want Rupert to see.. Apparently theyre not coming alone..

"I know change can be scary. They arrived in the middle of the night, falling into bed in the dark, kicking off travel clothes and collapsing together under a quilt his mother had embroidered when he was nine, with their suitcases haphazardly stacked against the wall. Merry Christmas, Ted. Jessie offered, pressing a kiss to his cheek as she followed her husband through the door. I was wrong, He whispered and Rebecca chuckled, brushing her thumb against the edge of his moustache as he continued to hold her. You really know Sir Paul McCartney?

Ruth chimed in and Rebecca felt her shoulders tighten, gripping the little girl in her lap like a lifeline. Bert suddenly guffawed, his laugh shaking his whole body in a sound reminiscent of Santa Claus iconic ho! The plan was that hed meet his mother and Henry at the airport, theyd do some sight-seeing, have dinner in his little apartment, go and see a show in the West End, and then hed sit her down after Henry went to bed and hed tell her - oh mom, by the way, Ive got a girlfriend, her names Rebecca and were going to Christmas Eve dinner with her, tomorrow night.. The smell of spices and pine and sugar cookies filtered through the halls and the living room was covered in pieces of shredded wrapping paper and ribbons. LANGFITT: Ted, however, knows nothing about soccer, and people make fun of his folksy manner, including one of his players . Theyll be here any moment so you might want to, She gestured and Rebecca blushed profusely, right as the doorbell rang. Five year old Jones declared it the best Christmas ever as he dropped down into his seat between his Grandmother and Catherine, and seven year old Jefferson disputed his claim with the one christmas they went to Disneyland. No one would be comfortable, wed be right on top of each other.

Its in here somewhere, She muttered, pulling open the hall closet and pushing up on her tiptoes to reach the shelf right at the top. Brendan Hunt. Comfy? He sucked on the candy cane again, grinning.

Twice already, theyd nearly taken out the Christmas tree. Im not gonna live that one down, am I?. Its getting late, we can finish up this discussion tomorrow.. She tugged a little at her scarf, twisting her neck just a bit to try and cool her skin. But before she could contribute, Henry chimed in. They beat West Ham three to one and Rebecca was down on the pitch so fast, she nearly lost her heels on the stairs. Sorry. She winced and he shook his head, holding her a little tighter. The club., Is that so, Rebecca? Ted spent most of season two dealing with his mental health, turning to Dr. Sharon Fieldstone (Sarah Niles) for help. The club., Is that so, Rebecca? Always a pleasure, Rebecca. He smirked, glancing over her shoulder. When did you get here?, Mum just dropped me off. Ooh, this ones for me! He shouted, reaching for it, but Catherine stalled him with a firm uh uh uh! and Henry slinked back, chastised. They were promoted back to the Premier League, theyd beaten West Ham in front of Ruperts face, they were engaged - now, he thought, hed just have to get to work on the last thing she wanted. But to her surprise, and delight, really, Catherines questions werent as probing as shed have expected. Id have liked one though. Henry stood in the hall holding the box as she closed the closet and turned him back around gently, with her hand on his shoulder, guiding him back to the living room. He had the floral apron on again, as well as the Santa hat hed worn for a solid nineteen hours the previous Christmas, when it was just the two of them delivering bags of gifts to children in need. Yeah, ah, He couldnt hold back the twitching. Oh? Her expression was still impressively impassive. She found herself smiling as she watched Ted dip down to embrace her, before shifting around and taking over the cart laden with their luggage, making their way towards where she stood. Well shes traded up. Rebecca smirked and Teds eyebrows raised, amused. Rebecca was a touch overwhelmed, but it was no worse than team dinner with the boys, so she felt a strange sense of peace just sitting back and watching everything unfold as she chewed on her bacon, with Hayes rested comfortably on her knee, reaching over to grab food from her fathers plate here and there. Heck, he wasnt even sure if algebra was the right math to help him with this particular pickle. Forever. Yes, Darn it, he was an idiot, of course shed assume the worst when she was the only one that could see his panic attacks coming before he could. The gaffer invited us. Roy noted, at Rebeccas puzzled smile. Not at all. She grinned, taking her in her arms and plopping back down in her chair. Not tonight. His kisses moved from her brow to her lips, pressing firmly and lovingly. Jason Sudeikis. Every now and then Jessie would ask if she was alright, if she needed her to take Hayes, but Rebecca was happy and comfortable, and relishing the closeness with this tiny person that had decided that she wasnt half bad to snuggle with. His mother could travel, Henry could benefit from the broadened horizons of a father that lived in a foreign country and he could not go back to Kansas and leave her behind, he wouldnt, hed break himself in half before he allowed it to happen. My Uncle Bert can burp the alphabet. Rebecca glanced over her shoulder with a disbelieving frown as she continued on her path. You told him about Paul at the gala. Ted questioned, gesturing to Hayes with her eyes now closed tight and her breathing evened out, resting comfortably in a full-body hug against Rebecca. This version of Ted Lasso makes for not just a better man, but a better show. Certainly, hes very nice.. It was fairly safe to say the all-knowing Coach Beard was aware something was afoot, too. Ted studied her face. She grunted rather unladylike as she finally got hold of the tattered old box of Monopoly - circa 2010 -, before pulling it down, dusting off the top with the back of her sleeve and holding it out to the boy with a flourish. She asked about the club and the team, and what it was like working with Theodore. I have seven bedrooms.. But she was too scared to take it. And its blue.. Hes talked about you so much. Televisions most feel-good and/or corniest show Ted Lasso officially makes its season three premiere on March 15. She patted Teds shoulder and he immediately dropped her down to the grass and she giggled at the cool feeling of the grass between her toes, finding herself in that setting as their lips parted, looking up at Ted instead of the other way around. Rebecca tried to hold back her laughter, but the vein on his forehead bulged the more he tried to push back his disgust, before he was coughing dramatically, and pretending to gag. Epilogue. She was waiting on him. Her bright green eyes blinked down at him, her hair a little mussed up and her cheeks a touch flushed. They werent scheduled for a Boxing Day match; a whole ten days wide open from the twenty-third to the first for him to take her to Kansas for the very first time and it had surprised him just how excited she was for it, spending three days hunched over a suitcase with her entire wardrobe spread out in one of the guest rooms as she methodically packed and repacked everything she thought shed need. You hid that well., She rolled her eyes in exasperation. She had on her sky blue coat, cinched tight at the waist, a thick scarf and a pair of cream coloured cashmere gloves. The springs protested a little at the impact, and she scowled at him from where she propped herself up on her elbows, but her annoyance died on her lips when he clambered onto the bed after her, covering her body with his and smothering her with kisses. Good lord, I havent been called a girl in millenia. Rebecca laughed, earning her a fond smile when she glanced in Catherines direction. Heya Hayes, how ya doing? He shook the girls little hand before leaning around her to catch the smiling eyes of her mother, whose skin was a few shades darker, her corkscrew curls pulled back from her face with a bright yellow headwrap covered in daisies. So whats wrong, then? She questioned, taking another step until they were within reach of each other, in the middle of her office, his eyeline just slightly lower than hers. Wheres Rebecca?. She was cut off by the exuberant shout of Dad! coming from the doorway to arrivals, and Ted was suddenly under the railing and bolting for the little boy in an AFC Richmond hoodie a good two sizes too big, running towards him with outstretched arms. Ted reached out for her, his broad hands finding her waist and gripping firmly, his fingers blazing a trail along her skin until his hands cupped her breasts and squeezed through the soft lace of her bra. Ted mouthed a You okay? How about we take a stab at the baby thing, while theres still time for a Christmas miracle., Your entire fucking family is in my house., Rebecca scoffed and rolled her eyes. Ted, She took a deep, shuddering breath. She offered him a withering glare with a touch of amusement as she swatted at his shoulder. Rebecca smiled and reached out, the feel of her fingers against his cheek, calming his nerves enough to stop the words tumbling out of him. Rebecca was nervous; had been since his mother had assured shed accompany Henry over for the holidays. While I stand by my early positive review, it's true that not everything ultimately worked. Who wouldve thought Phil Dunsters Jamie Tartt would be a pivotal team player when Ted Lasso began? Rebecca laughed, pressing her laptop closed. Rebecca stood there for a moment, clutching Keeleys jacket, just looking through the door with Roy standing next to her, watching her. He grinned down at Rebecca who was now slouching down in her chair in an effort to lay Hayes out more horizontally, without jostling her too much. As you know, shes headed over here with Henry for the holidays.. Boss?. But I wasnt talkin about talkin., Rebecca groaned deep in her throat and Ted chuckled, releasing her hips and moving his hands up to cup her face. And you, dear. The older woman grinned, impressing them all when she ducked down at the knees and dipped under the rail, popping up next to Rebecca. And Id worked out a good balance with the bed and a trundle in the living room to keep my Mom, Henry and I out of each others hair. All free with your library card Come on Teddy Bear, you keep me quiet. She breathed against his lips and Ted shuddered at the sound of it. Change of Christmas plans? Beard questioned, as the phone was placed face down on the desk surface and Teds hands were set on his hips, a deep breath of air being blown out from his lips as his shoulders sagged. Theyre over for Christmas. Ted sat up in his chair, edging forward a little and resting his elbows on his knees, glancing between Roy in the doorway, and Beard in his own chair. Theyre one goal up against West Ham and Rebecca was ecstatic. Howd you end up owning a football club? Sonnet. All of Richmond? She smirked and Rebecca faltered, frowning, a little confused for a moment. Come on Phoebs.. Would you like a hot chocolate?. Listen to tracks from the Apple TV+ Original Series, featuring Marcus Mumford, Lizzo, David Bowie, Vampire Weekend, and more, on this exclusive playlist. Whoa whoa, there, Jessie grabbed at his shoulder with laughter in her voice. Phoebe, say Happy Christmas to Ms Welton. He gestured from the little girl, to her and back again. What are you going to do about it, Teddy Bear? She teased, inching closer to him, her palms pressed to his stomach as she nibbled at his ear. She hopped up over him, straddling his waist, leaning over him to press a kiss to his lips. Keeleys and Phoebes in their hair and Roys, tucked into his lapel. And please, its Catherine.. No, Ted, its alright, were almost done.. Rebecca glanced down at her patent pumps and fitted navy blue dress. AFC Richmond, Ted chuckled as he maneuvered the cart. She was cut off by the exuberant shout of Dad! coming from the doorway to arrivals, and Ted was suddenly under the railing and bolting for the little boy in an AFC Richmond hoodie a good two sizes too big, running towards him with outstretched arms. This way, Catherine. She gestured; both women heading towards the stairs in the hall. Why cant you be that romantic?. Elenco. But Beard could see the tension radiating off his friend in waves. She smirked, glancing over at Ted to see that Henrys question had piqued his interest as well. They were standing at the arrivals gate at Heathrow; Teds elbows casually rested against the balustrade that separated arriving passengers from the friends and family that had come to greet them. Sounds wonderful. She smirked, nudging his shoulder as they reached the bottom of the stairs. I need you to take a deep breath and tell me what the hell is going on., He did as instructed, breathing in deeply with his eyes set on hers before letting the breath out between them with a little nod, calming himself to explain. Her smile was genuine and when the little girl lunged for her, out of her fathers hold and wrapped her little arms around Rebeccas neck, he was fairly certain she had been won over by the Lassos. Oh, how lovely. Rebecca was right there beside him, her back ramrod straight and her gloved hands rested on the railing. She stopped; looking down at the same biscuit crumbs on the corner of the coffee table that had caught his eye earlier. Oh, I have Monopoly! She remembered triumphantly, feeling her cheeks flush at the fond look Ted offered her for her excitement. I don't want to hear it.". Okay!. Have you ever had a dog, Rebecca?. Well, theyre a lot like me, actually., Ted, youre none of those things. She squeezed his hand, reaching out to press her palm to his cheek. Ted scuffed his Nikes across the carpet a couple of times as Higgins gathered up his iPad, stuffed his papers back into a manila folder and shuffled his different coloured pens into a bundle in his fist, along with his phone; balancing it all precariously as he bid them a goodnight. Can you think of some way I could tetris my whole family into that place?. Ted chuckled, clapping his hands together as he turned to address the rest of the group. Aw man. He flung his arms in the air and stepped around the coffee table, dropping into the couch in defeat. Ted maintained a near-perfect calm until he hung up the phone. The season three trailer reveals that, despite another terrible hairstyle, hes wholly devoted to Richmond AFC; the days of switching football clubs or participating in reality shows are long gone. Good boy. Deborah patted his shoulder, handing him a steaming glass of mulled wine as reward. He loved that dress, loved how it made her appear soft when she wore her hair out and curly like it was. Phoebe stared at Bert the entire way into the living room, craning her neck until she couldnt crane it any further, until she was all the way in the living room and he disappeared into the kitchen. They spoke heartfelt vows in front of their mothers, their friends, their team and his son who carried the rings in the breast pocket of his suit that matched his fathers. And hes a lovely fella too, hey Rebecca., Rebecca swallowed. Shit thats so fucking adorable. Keeley commented and Rebecca looked up at her with a question in her eyes. Plus, He took a seat across the aisle from her, body angled out over the steps, facing her - leaning into her personal space. Merchandise She spun on her heel, pulling the door open again to be startled by Roy, Keeley and little Phoebe standing on her front step wearing matching pink tinsel bows. I was a little disappointed, but Im glad of it now. The first time Ted shows up in his cranky boss Rebecca's (Hannah Waddingham) office, he totes along a miniature pink box of three soft, golden, shortbread-style cookies (sorry, biscuits, for the . The rest of Teds family were all seated in the row behind, shouting excitedly along with Higgins and Julie, when Richmond gained the upper hand. Last I checked, we were up two nil. She smirked and Rupert tutted his tongue. Who is this, Rebecca? Catherine questioned, sitting directly behind Rebecca, and she could hear the disdain in her voice.
