A SECRET PREGNANCY/FOUND FAMILY AU - FULL FIC OUT HERE NOW!
📌 Synopsis: Five years ago, Jake Sim walked away to chase his soccer dreams, never knowing he left more than just a broken heart behind. Now, he's back—unwittingly running a soccer clinic where his five-year-old daughter is signed up. The daughter he doesn’t know exists.
You tell yourself he won’t notice. You tell yourself he won’t put the pieces together.
Then she grins up at him, dimples flashing, and says:Â "We have the same last name! Maybe we're related!"
And just like that, your past collides with your present.

"Sim?" Jake repeats, his easygoing smile faltering. "Your last name is Sim?"
"Yep!" Jade nods, bouncing on her toes. "Just like you! Mom says it's a common name, but I've never met another Sim before, so I think it's special!"
Jake stares. You see it happen—the flicker of recognition, the mental math, the way his whole body goes rigid.
"How old are you, Jade?"
"I'm five! Almost five and a half! My birthday is January 22nd!" She holds up one hand, fingers splayed wide. "I've been playing soccer since I was three!"
January 22nd.
You watch as the color drains from his face. His gaze lifts from Jade to you, eyes searching, demanding answers you don’t know how to give.
Jake sways slightly.
Then, in front of two hundred kids, their parents, and an entire coaching staff—
Jake Sim, Europe's favorite striker, faints on the field.

TL;DR: If you love angst, emotional tension, father-daughter bonding, and a pro athlete absolutely losing his mind over the child he never knew he had—this one's for you.
