Apart of my au Cutter Gauthier x Hughes au

let me know what you guys think🤍

I’m Luke Hughes' twin sister, unlike Quinn and Luke I decided to commit to Boston College for hockey.

I heard a lot of good things about it from Matt Boldy and Jessie Compher since i played on team usa with her, when i told my mom about it we went to visit. I fell in love with the campus immediately.  

I haven’t been away from luke before, so this is definitely going to be different without him here, and i don’t know anyone.  

Hopefully I'll be able to make friends with my teammates. I already know Cayla Barnes who I played with on team usa, she had introduced me to Alex Newhook last year when I first told her I committed to Boston College so i knew her also.

I only just got to town. It's 2 weeks before classes start, I want to be able to explore and get to know the campus so I don't get lost on the first day.

Cayla and Alex aren’t here yet. I’ll be staying in a unisex door for the athletes. Today is freshman day so most of the freshmen are arriving. I don’t have a roommate, I wanted to be alone since I know I'll be on FaceTime with my brothers and with quinn there’s a time change so I didn't want to risk waking up my roommate.

I was unloading one of my boxes when I heard my mom talking to someone in the hallway. I paused what I was doing and went to check. I saw her talking to Kim, Cutter Gauthier's mom. I totally forgot he also committed here. Cutter and I do not get along, he was a jerk when I first met him, and every other time after. He’s friends with my brother, they played together in the NTDP, so our families are friends.

“Hey yn, it’s good to see you sweetheart” Kim said, hugging me.

“It’s good seeing you too Kim” i said smiling

“Looks like yours and cutter dorm rooms are next to each other” she said, my mom smiled

“Maybe this will get them to be friends instead of hating each other” my mom told Kim

“I hope,” Kim sighed. I took the box my mom was holding and put it down on my bed.

“You’re dad is bringing the last box up” my mom told me and I nodded.  

Few seconds later I see my dad, cutter, and his dad coming up the stairs.

My dad gave me the box and I put it down.

It was now time to say goodbye. I hugged my mom tight.

“I’m going to miss you sweetheart” she said, kissing my cheek.

“I’m going to miss you too mom”  

I went and hugged my dad next.

“We love you, will be back soon enough to visit, don’t get in trouble” he said making me chuckle.

“I love you guys too, give a hug to Luke for me, i miss him already” i said sadly.

“We will,” my mom replied.

Once they left, I closed my door and began unpacking my stuff.  

A few hours later I started to get hungry, it's around 5 p.m. right now so I thought I would go get myself some food, so I grabbed my purse and walked out of my room.

Cutter walked out at the same time as me before locking his door.

We both started walking downstairs.

“Did your parents already leave?” I asked

“Yeah, pretty sure they left after yours did” he replied, i nodded.

“Look I hate you, and you hate me, but can we try to be civil? It’s going to be a long year if we don't "I ask nicely. Hoping we can try to get along.

He shrugged  

“We’ll see,” he said walking away.

“Asshole” i mumbled  

A week passed by, a few of my teammates were finally in town, same for the guys team.

Tonight is Friday and the guys on the men's team are throwing a party, so Cayla is making me go with her and Alex so I can get to know more people.

We pregamed and got dressed, at around 11 p.m. we made our way there. I’m already drunk by the time I get there, thankfully I know Cayla and Alex wouldn’t leave me alone.  

I’m having the best time.

We danced, i got to meet some of my other teammates, that i probably won’t remember tomorrow.  

I’m now standing with Cayla and Alex, I was currently leaning on Cayla.

“You good Yn” she asked

“Yeah, just a little bit too drunk” I mumbled, I heard her chuckle.

“Want us to bring you back to the dorm?” She asked

I was about to answer when Cutter cut me off.

“I can bring her, my dorm room is right next to hers” he told Cayla, she looked surprised

“I thought you two didn’t get along?” Alex asked

“We don’t but I'm on my way now so I can bring her with me,” he said.

“You good with that Yn” she asked to make sure and i nodded.

Even though we don’t get along, I know he’d make sure I get there safely because of my brother.

“Come on,” Cutter said, putting his arm on my back as we walked out of the party.

“You shouldn’t have gotten so drunk,” he said, annoyed, probably because I was stumbling a little bit.

“It was my first college party. I was obviously going to get drunk "I snapped, he rolled his eyes and he helped me walk.

When we got to the dorms he made me go up the stairs first so he could catch me in case I tripped.

Once we got to our rooms I unlocked my door before looking over at Cutter doing the same to his.

“Cutter, thank you” I say, he looked at me and nodded before he closed his door.

He’s honestly really good looking, I wish we could get along.

I woke up the next morning with a headache. I probably shouldn’t have drank so much last night, so I groaned and took my phone that was on my nightstand.

I decided to order breakfast from uber eats since i didn’t feel like going out.

A few minutes later there was a knock on my door, I groaned and went to open it only to find Cutter.

“What do you want?” I asked  

He chuckled when he saw me, I rolled my eyes.

“Just thought I’d check to see if you were still alive,” he said, smirking.

“I am, now you can go” i said

“Jeez, I'm just trying to be nice, you’re the one who said we should try and be civil with each other” he said angrily and went to walk away but i grabbed his hand before he could. He looked down at me holding his hand, making me let go.

“Sorry, i just have a headache”

“It’s fine”

“Thanks again for last night, I mean I know we don’t really get along but it means a lot” I said

“Your brother probably would have killed me if I didn’t” he said and I nodded sadly, of course that’s the only reason he helped me get home.

Right as I was about to say something else my food arrived.  

“Thank you” I thanked the delivery guy. I looked up at Cutter once the guy left.

“I ordered a lot, do you want to stay and eat? Take it as a thank you?” I asked

He looked surprised for a minute before he nodded.

“Sure why not, I'm hungry anyways” he said and walked by me in my room. He went and sat against the wall on my bed.

I went and sat next to hi

m. I took out the food and handed him some.

It stayed quiet as we started to eat.

“What made you choose Boston? Both Quinn and Luke went to Michigan” he asked me after a while.

“I wanted something different, plus I knew if I went to Michigan Luke would be a little too overprotective and I didn’t want to have to deal with that” I said, he chuckled.

“That makes since”  

“What about you? What made you choose Boston college?” I asked.

“When I visited, I fell in love with the campus. It was also one of the highest ranked schools,” he said. I nodded.

“ I really hope we can get along, while we’re here” I say softly. Cutter looked up at me and nodded.

“It’s probably for the best, Luke would kill me if he knew I was a jerk to you, even though he knows we're not friends,” he said, making me chuckle.

“So can we be friends instead of us hating each other?” I ask.

“I’m okay with that,” he said, smiling.

“Good,” I said, smiling at him.

At least we can agree on something, this is only the beginning.

boyfriend?

October 8, 2024

Gemma walked into the locker room for practice and she narrowed her eyes seeing the looks coming from Dawson and Nate specifically, “What?” Gemma questioned confused as she walked closer to her stall.

“You have a boyfriend!” Dawson immediately yelled out still so shocked from when he found out two days ago.

Dawson was so loud that most of the team turned to them.

“Bows has a boyfriend?” Curtis smirked teasingly.

Gemma closed her eyes letting out a small sigh at her teammates, “I do.” Gemma simply said and turned around sitting down at her stall.

“Come on we would like to know more.” Dawson nudged her gently.

“Who told you?” Gemma ignored his question giving him a stern look.

“Shea.” Dawson and Nate said in unison making Seamus make an offended look for being sold out so quickly.

“Rude.” Seamus mumbled giving the two boys betrayed look.

Seamus groan as a roll of tape smacked him and hit his chest, “Dude!” Seamus groaned as he looked up and realized Gemma threw tape at him.

“Really?” Gemma gave her an annoyed look as he barely knew about Macklin for a month and already spilled.

“Lukey please.” Gemma gestured to Seamus and Luke sitting next to Seamus grinned and whacked Seamus on the back of his head.

“Ow! not cool.” Seamus grumbled rubbing his head.

“You barely even knew and now everyone knows.” Gemma grumbled back genuinely annoyed that Seamus spilled her secrets.

Luke seeing Gemma’s annoyance smacked Seamus on the back of the head again.

“Again!” Seamus groaned out scooting away from Luke.

“Dude i’ve know forever and never let anyone else know.” Luke gave a disappointing look to Seamus knowing Gemma and Macklin had serious reasons they wanted to stay private.

Seamus made a sheepish grimace, “Sorry Gemma.” Seamus sincerely apologized for her feeling bad he said anything when she trusted him.

Gemma soften slightly and nodded, “It’s okay.” Gemma whispered softly.

Nico watched with protective eyes and nodded in approval seeing Seamus apologize, “I can make sure no one asks any more questions.” Nico leaned down and whispered quietly to Gemma only, Nico wants her to be comfortable in the locker room and will do whatever she needs.

“It’s okay.” Gemma smiled at Nico’s kind offer though, she knew her teammates were just being curious and while she wished they didn’t know about her relationship she is okay with answering a few questions.

“Just keep it in this room please.” Gemma looked around at her team, a team that was she was growing to love like family and she felt like she could trust them.

“Of course G, no one out of the room will know.” Jack gave her a reassuring look as the rest of the team all nodded.

“Then you guys can ask a few questions.” Gemma offered giving Dawson a small smile knowing he wanted to ask.

“How long have you been together?” Dawson asked curiously.

“Almost a year.” Gemma answered softly smiling slightly at the memory of when Macklin and her got together.

“How did you meet?” Jonathan asked her.

“Hockey.” Gemma chuckled softly as that’s how she meets everyone.

“Does he treat you right?” Nico gave her a serious look, he will complete respect her reason to keep her relationship private but he just wants to make sure she is getting treated the way she deserves to be treated.

“Oh definitely, he worships the ground she walks on. He adores her.” Luke strongly told the team speaking up before Gemma could.

Gemma’s cheeks warmed at Luke’s words knowing they are true.

Nico smiled slightly nodding.

“Do you approve?” Nate asked Luke seriously as anyone can see how protective Luke is over Gemma and Luke would only approve of someone who is good for Gemma.

“One hundred percent.” Luke answered just as seriously back and sent a small grin at Gemma, he’s watched the two go from strangers into friends and lovers and he doesn’t think anyone will every be better for Gemma than Macklin.

“Alright enough questions, get ready for practice.” Nico gave a stern glance at the team seeing Gemma was getting a bit unsettled at all the questions.

The team all listened and started chatting to one another as they all got ready for practice.

“Thank you.” Gemma softly whispered to Nico, she knew if she was gonna introduce Macklin to anyone on the Devil’s it will be Nico first.

“Anytime bows.” Nico gently smiled back at her patting her shoulder before getting ready for practice.

Gemma got ready for practice and headed to the ice to start practice.

Gemma rushed out after practice as she quickly took her equipment off and changed back into her clothes and she was the first to leave the locker room.

She quickly got into her car driving back home, Macklin was leaving in a few hours to head to Pittsburg for his first game tomorrow and she wanted to spend as much time with him before he had to leave.

Gemma hurried up to their apartment and quickly opened the door taking her shoes off and dropping her keys down.

“Mack?” Gemma called out softly not seeing Macklin as she walked in, she heard his voice call back and walked towards her room seeing Macklin laying her bed cuddling with her flower bouquet stuff animal and he shut his phone off when she walked in.

“Hi my love.” Macklin smiled seeing his girlfriend and she immediately got into her bed cuddling to him letting out a happy sigh as Macklin wrapped his arm around her.

“Hi. The team found out i have a boyfriend.” Gemma mumbled against his chest as he softly rubbed her head.

Macklin blinked, “Okay how did they find out?”

“Shea.” Gemma grumbled still annoyed at Seamus.

“Can we smack him?” Macklin asked hopeful making Gemma laugh softly making him smile.

“Luke did already.” Gemma told him.

“Remind me to thank Luke.” Macklin mumbled, “How did they take it?” Macklin gently asked her.

“Good, really good i think, they don’t who it is yet.” Gemma answered softly her eyes struggling to stay open.

Macklin softly nodded and noticed her started to sleep, “Get some sleep i’ll be here.” Macklin softly cooed as she started falling asleep.

back home

October 6, 2024

Gemma yawned as she rubbed her eyes waking up after the flight from Prague to New Jersey, she couldn’t wait to till she got off the plane and bus and see Macklin.

Gemma followed Nico off the plane and headed straight to the bus and she she sat on the front row of the bus by her self and pulled out her phone as the rest of the team loaded onto the bus.

The bus’s drove them to the parking lot of the arena where the players all parked it got dropped off.

Gemma was the first player off the bus and saw her stuff and grabbed her suitcase and rolled away from the bus, she leaned on her suitcase as she looked at her phone seeing how far Macklin is.

Gemma scrolled on her phone for a few minutes and saw most of her team was off the bus and already starting to leave.

Jack, Nico, Dawson, Seamus, Simon and Nate all happened to start walking towards Gemma as they all were about to leave.

“G do you have a ride?” Jack asked giving her a worriedly look as he didn’t remember if she drove herself but if she did she would’ve already left and he assumed Macklin would be picking her up.

“Mhm they will be here soon.” Gemma nodded softly having just checked on her find my iPhone where Macklin is, they ended up landing over thirty minutes earlier so Macklin was coming straight from practice.

“And there they are.” Gemma mumbled softly seeing Macklin’s car pull into the parking lot and she waved bye at the boys who were standing near her and walked over to car, she tossed her bags into the backseat before getting into the passenger seat.

“Who is that?” Nate asked curiously as Gemma told them she didn’t have any family nearby so he wondered who would pick her up.

“Her boyfriend probably.” Seamus nonchalantly said as he saw his ride and walked away too.

“Bows has a boyfriend?” Dawson spluttered out looking shocked, he was looking at Seamus for answers but Seamus kept walking to the car.

Jack let out a small snicker at Nate’s, Simon’s Dawson’s shock and Nico’s surprise and waved bye to the boys and started heading to his car with Nico shaking his head and following Jack, Nico figured Jack knew more about Gemma having a boyfriend.

Gemma let out a happy sigh as she closed the door and finally saw Macklin, she leaned over the center console immediately and wrapped her arms around him leaning into him happily.

“Hi baby.” Macklin cooed immediately wrapping his arms around her kissing the top of her head multiple times, “I missed you.”

“I missed you too.” Gemma softly whispered against his chest letting out a happy sigh as she was back with her boy.

“Let’s get you home.” Macklin softly told her as they pulled back from each other and Macklin put his hand on her thigh and she leaned on his arm as he started driving.

Gemma didn’t even need to start telling him everything that happened when she was away because she already told him everything on facetime.

Gemma let out a sigh of relief as Macklin worked the car in their parking lot and Macklin walked around opening her door before grabbing her bags from the back.

Gemma held Macklin’s free hand as they walked up to their apartment, Gemma opened the door and immediately took off her shoes and coat as Macklin set down her bags and took off his shoes.

Macklin picked up yer bags and walked down the hallway setting her bags by her door real quick.

Gemma smiled as she walked by the dining room seeing her two vases filled with flower bouquets mostly pink flowers, “You picked out beautiful ones.” Gemma softly told Macklin as he walked back to her.

Macklin smiled and pressed a kiss to her cheek. He’s been picking out flowers for her for years now and he’s pretty great at it.

“What do you need to do?” Macklin asked quietly pressing a kiss to the side of her head wrapping his arms around her.

“Just unpack and shower.” Gemma answered making Macklin nod.

“Well let’s go do that.” Macklin softly pulled Gemma to her room and grabbed her bags setting them down. Gemma smiled slightly as she looked at her bed seeing it wasn’t perfectly made because Macklin slept in her bed when she was away.

Gemma sat down on the floor next to Macklin as he unzip her suitcase.

She started pulling out of all her dirty clothes and Macklin grabbed her toiletry bag walking to her bathroom and unpacking the bag.

Gemma put away the clothes that were still clean and all her shoes as Macklin came out from her bathroom and tossed her dirty clothes in her hamper.

Macklin closed the empty suitcase and pushed it out of her room into the hallway for now.

Gemma unpacked her back pack real quick and saw the two things in there for Macklin. She put everything else away just as Macklin walked back into her room and she patted for him to sit down next to her on the edge of her bed.

“What’s this?” Macklin asked her as she handed him the first box.

“The first one was given to me but i have no clue what to do with it.” Gemma explained laughing as she did.

Macklin laughed too once he opened the box seeing it was a men’s rolex and way to big for Gemma, “This was for the first star right?” Macklin checked making her hum nodding.

“Thank you.” Macklin pressed a kiss to her cheek and gently set the box down on the bed as she handed him a small box like a ring box.

“Are you proposing?” Macklin teased with a gentle smirk making her fondly roll her eyes nudging him.

Macklin opened the ring box and his eyes widened in awe as he looked at the ring, it was beautiful and the gem was a mixed red and blue, “It’s us.” Macklin immediately said.

“That’s why i got it.” Gemma softly mumbled to him as Macklin slipped it on his finger.

“I love it thank you.” Macklin pressed a gentle kiss to her lips smiling softly at her.

“Of course.” Gemma softly smiled back and stood up holding out her hand, “Shower?” Gemma offered making Macklin grin immediately.

Macklin just grinned and picked her up by her thighs making her squeal with laughter.

Gemma was finally back home.

allergy

October 24, 2024

Gemma looked out the window as the plane started to descend over Michigan, she was excited to play in Detroit for many reason, one she gets to finally play with Luke as this will be his first game back, two her parents and Luca will be at the games, three Luca was coming with some of his friends who she has missed and four she gets to see Ellen and Jim. The only downsides was she was leaving soon after the game so she would get a lot of time with her everyone but maybe like a hour and Adam wasn’t coming.

“You excited?” Luke nudged her softly making her look away from the window and at him.

Gemma immediately sat next to Luke when they got on the plane as Luke would be joining them for the road trip and she’s been wanting to sit next to him.

“To play with you definitely.” Gemma grinned looking extremely excited to play with Luke again, they only have just recently gotten to play with each other at Worlds over the summer.

Luke’s face shifted into a soft smile at her words, he was looking forward to play with her again, “I’m looking forward to that too.”

Luke nudged her softly making her laugh slightly and nudge him back.

“Is Adam coming?” Luke asked with a curious look but he had small look in his eyes that Gemma didn’t know what it was.

“No, he couldn’t come.” Gemma smiled tightly as she really is missing her brother and hasn’t seen him in quite a while.

“I’m sorry.” Luke softly mumbled wrapping an arm around her shoulder, he understood wanting your older brothers at your games but they couldn’t, he had a lot of games that he wished Jack or Quinn could’ve came to.

“It’s okay.” Gemma mumbled back understanding why Adam can’t come but she still missed him.

Gemma leaned her head on Luke’s shoulder till the plane landed and they could start getting off the plane and into the bus.

Gemma sat next to Luke again on the bus as the bus was loaded up and then they headed to the rink and they would end up being a bit earlier than normal then they are for warm up’s.

Gemma was wearing a white suit that had purple flowers scattered across the suit and purple loafers.

The team arrived quite earlier to the arena so they were having team lunch at the rink before they started warming up later.

Gemma plopped down with Luke next to her and Jack stole the other spot next to her and Brett sat down next to Luke, Jesper, Jonas, Dougie and Nico on the other side of the table.

The eight at the table waited for the rest of their teammates to get up and get their food before they got up and got their food too.

Gemma made a very excited sound as she saw spring rolls as they at some of her favorite food ever making Luke laugh fondly as he watched her and she grabbed a few putting them on her plate.

Gemma headed back to the table with Luke and they were the last back and Gemma had such an excited smile as she picked up a spring roll and she was about to take a bite but frowned smelling something.

“Luke.” Gemma whispered trying to only catch Luke’s attention but most do the table looked over, “Can you test it?” Gemma whispered, she has a very bad allergy with peanuts and she can kinda smell peanut butter in the spring rolls.

Luke is really the only one who knows about her allergy besides the devils chefs who didn’t travel with them today and the trainers know.

Luke immediately grabbed the spring room not wanting her holding it if it has peanuts and he took a bite immediately tasting peanuts in the sauce, he quickly grabbed the springs rolls off Gemma’s plate.

Gemma let out a long disappointed sigh seeing Luke taking the spring rolls knowing what it means.

“Wait why can’t you eat them?” Jack looked confused and he frowned at Gemma’s disappointed face.

“It has peanuts.” Gemma spoke dejectedly as she just wanted spring rolls.

“Are you allergic?” Nico asked with a sad frown, he felt terrible he didn’t know one of his teammates had an allergy especially as she is a rookie and he’s know her for two months now.

“Yeah mostly everything bothers me but airborne.” Gemma explained to the boys at the table, she didn’t really bring up her allergy often and she didn’t check the food she grabbed because she has gotten so use to the devils chefs knowing she can’t have peanuts and if there’s peanuts on something they label it.

Brett got up from the table and walked away as the rest of the body asked more about her allergy.

Brett came back a few minutes later with a plate in his hand and handed it to Gemma, “Peanut free spring rolls.” Brett gave her a kind smile, he had noticed that she was very happy about the spring rolls before the peanuts and he saw the chef making more at the kitchen so asked him to not put any sauce on them.

Gemma’s whole face lite up in a beaming smile, “Thank you!” Gemma immediately started eating a spring roll humming happily as she munched on it.

Gemma finished lunch and sat around for a little while just talking with a lot of her teammates before they all started getting ready for warm ups.

Gemma was sitting in her stall after warming up with team and she put her hair in a low ponytail and spit the ponytail into two braids with her red ribbons tied on the ends.

She was chewing on a pregame snack when Keefe walked in, “Alright we have a special guest for the line up today.” He had a mischievous smile as he glanced at Gemma making her eyes furrow and Luke grinned knowing what it was as he planned the person to come with Nico.

“You can come in.” Keefe called out and Adam walked in with Gemma’s Devils jersey on.

Gemma’s jaw dropped as she saw her brother walk into the room.

Adam grinned at her shocked look, “If you couldn’t tell by the jersey i’m here for Gemma.” Adam proudly showed off the jersey he had on making the boys all cheer and clap.

“Starting on right wing Bratt! Starting on center Jack and starting on left wing Gemma!!!” Adam announced the starting offensive line making the whole cheer and clap.

“On defense on the left side Hughesy and the right side Pesce!” The room cheered even louder for the pair for their first game back.

“And in the goal Markstrom!”

Gemma immediately got up once Adam was done and quickly hugged her brother, “Hey Adamo.” Gemma mumbled in italian.

“Little sister.” Adam cooed back in italian, it was one of his favorite things about being with family was speaking in their native language.

“I didn’t know you were coming?” Gemma looked confused as Adam told her he count come.

“Lukey helped me surprise you.” Adam told her making her nod, “Go play your game i’ll see you after.” Adam pressed a kiss to her forehead and she waved bye as he walked out.

“You speak Italian!!” Nate looked flabbergasted as the whole room heard her speaking Italian.

“My family is from Italy?” Gemma replied back titling her head confused.

“Oh.” Dawson grimaced realizing it was kinda obvious.

“Another multi language speaker in the room.” Timo patted her shoulder with a proud grin as she walked by to Luke’s stall.

“Thank you.” Gemma gave him a thankful look knowing he helped Adam surprise her.

“Course Emmie.” Luke smiled back.

Gemma headed to the ice and warmed up before the game started.

Gemma looked up at the stands and saw her family, some of her brothers friends and Ellen and Jim Hughes in the stands all together, she wave up at them as Jack and Luke skated over and waved at their parents and Luke’s friends.

The game started and half way in the first half of the period Gemma passed the puck to Nico during the penalty play and he scored the first goal of the game.

The red wings quickly scored their first goal and in thirty seconds later they scored their second too.

Second period started and Luke passed the puck up the ice to Gemma and Gemma quickly skated around the defenseman and easily getting the puck into the goal.

Gemma beamed quickly skating to Luke and hugging him as he got his first point of the season.

Third period started and the red wings scored again and Nico scored again on the power play with Gemma and Jack assisting.

It was tied 3-3 getting close to the end of the third period when the red wings scored again.

With thirty seconds left in the game the red wings player wrapped around the empty net and hit the puck at the goal just as Gemma got there trying to stop the goal and he slammed into her once the puck went into the goal knocking her harshly to the ice.

Michael Rasmussen stood over Gemma after he smacked her to the ground and started chirping her not letting her get up. He kept his legs around her stomach looking down at her making extremely uncomfortable especially with what he was saying to her.

Timo immediately was skating over and shoved the player away from Gemma and slamming him into the boards

Jack quickly went to Gemma as Stefan quickly skated in front of Jack and Gemma standing protectively in front of them as the other red wing players came closer.

Gemma winced as she tried to move off her back, she got rattled good hitting the ice that hard and it didn’t feel good. Jack rested a hand on her shoulder helping her slowly sit up as the medical trainers came out to her after she didn’t get up right away.

Gemma slowly stood up with the help of Jack and Stefan, it didn’t feel like she injured anything but her whole back was already getting sore.

Gemma headed to the bench with Jack holding her and even if she said she was fine and Stefan staying close by with the trainers.

Keefe told her to go down the tunnel to get checked as there was only thirty seconds and gave her a stern glance when she tried to argue.

Gemma gave Luke a reassuring nod as she saw his worry and headed down the tunnel with the medical team, she had a quick exam and was quickly cleared of no injury just taking it easy and heat her back later.

Gemma walked into the locker room and the boys were already all in there and she reassured all of them she was fine and she quickly headed to the shower wanting to be with her family before they have to leave.

Gemma put her suit back on and brushed our her wet hair and grabbed her things and quickly looked at her phone seeing a lot of worried texts from Macklin and quickly sent him a text she was okay before seeing Jack and Luke just finished up too and she walked out with them seeing both of their families and friend waiting together.

Gemma slowly walked to her brothers hugging them both at the same time as they gingerly hugged her back seeing her hit the ice good.

“You played awesome.” Adam proudly smiled at his baby sister as they pulled back ruffling her wet hair slightly.

“Amazing.” Luca smiled proudly.

Gemma saw her mom was waiting for hug looking worried and she hugged her, “I’m fine Mama.” Gemma softly whispered making her mom nod softly.

Gemma hugged her dad after she hugged her mom.

“Mrs. Hughes!” Gemma beamed as she walked over to Ellen and Jim, Ellen has always been in awe of Ellen and loves watching old games of Ellen playing.

“Gemma.” Ellen smiled fondly at the young girl, “How many times have i told you to call me Ellen.”

“A lot?” Gemma sheepishly answered as Ellen hugged her softly.

Gemma waved softly as Jim sharing a nod and smile with him.

“Little Fants!” Nick grinned as she walked over to the Umich boys, he tossed an arm over her shoulder giving her a side hug.

“Hi Molds.” Gemma softly spoke to her old teammate.

Gemma unfortunately only got a few minutes with her friends and family before she had to head to the bus.

“I’ll see you thanksgiving.” Gemma mumbled as her mom hugged her as tightly as possible with her sore back.

“I know.” Julia smiled bittersweet and cupped her daughter’s cheek looking at her proudly and kissed her forehead.

Gemma said bye to her family and friends and leaned into Jack’s side as they walked to the bus.

Gemma let out a small sigh as they walked away, she now just wanted to get home to Macklin and luckily he would be home when she got home as he had a home game today.

ours

August 14, 2024

Gemma and Macklin were lying in bed in a lake house in Michigan that they have been staying in for the last week with Gemma’s family.

Macklin was laying on Gemma’s lap and her hand in his hair as she scrolled through her phone.

“Macky did you choose your number for sure yet?” Gemma asked curiously as she looked at email she was needed to answer.

“Mhm.” Macklin hummed sleepily being completely relaxed against Gemma, “71.” He was a bit sad he couldn’t have his true number seventeen but seventy one is close to it.

Gemma hummed in reply and titled her head as she thought about something she has been thinking about lately.

Gemma has always played with thirteen but being drafted to the Devils she knew she would need to change her number and she has been trying to find a number she could change too.

She was thinking about and leaning towards picking seventeen, thirteen has always been her lucky number but maybe Macklin’s number could become her new lucky number.

Gemma turned her phone so she could ask Macklin.

“Do you-“ Gemma started and kicked her lips nervously, Macklin titled his head up looking at Gemma hearing her nerves, he grabbed her hand and flashed her reassuring look.

Gemma took a deep breath, “Can i wear seventeen?” Gemma blurted out nervously closing her eyes not understanding why she is so nervous to ask him.

Macklin froze completely and blinked rapidly before sitting up and looking at Gemma in complete shock, “You want to wear my number?” Macklin was incredibly shocked never thinking Gemma would want to wear his number.

Gemma slowly opened her eyes peaking at Macklin’s shocked face and slowly nodded.

Macklin slowly began to smile and he cupped his girlfriend’s face and leaned his forehead agonist her forehead nudging his nudge gently against hers, “Of course you can.” Macklin softly told her.

Gemma let out a long sigh of relief and leaned more into Macklin’s touch, “Are you sure because i do not have to-“ Gemma rambled nervously not wanting to overstep.

Macklin smiled fondly at her rambled and pressed his lips to her lips gently and stopping her from rambling. Gemma’s hands came up to Macklin’s hair pressing him closer to her as they continued to kiss.

Macklin and Gemma both pulled away to catch their breaths as they still leaned their foreheads against each other.

“Gemma i would love if you wore my number.” Macklin firmly reassured her maintaining eye contact as he did, his thumb gently caressing her cheekbone. He really would absolutely adore seeing Gemma wear his number all the time and he would be the one to know why she chose that number.

Gemma slowly nodded seeing the sincerity in Macklin’s voice and on his face.

“It’s our number now.” Macklin softly said with a soft loving smile. He was disappointed when last season he had to change his originally number slightly to seventy one and he would have to continue to use seventy one in the NHL as well, so he was glad that’s Gemma was going to be playing under his true number it meant a lot to him.

“Our number.” Gemma softly repeated back with a sweet smile as she nudged her nose against Macklin’s.

“It already is with how much you already wear it by stealing all my clothes.” Macklin teased her with a playful smile as his fingers gently dug into her side making her immediately squeal with laughter and try to squirm away from Macklin’s hands.

Gemma is always stealing Macklin’s clothes and he knows if he can’t find a piece of his clothing that she definitely has it. Most of the time she has on something that is Macklin’s.

Macklin absolutely does not mind her wearing his clothes, he loves seeing her in his clothes but he does love teasing her about always stealing his clothes.

Macklin continued to tickle her and laughing at her squirming and giggles. He found out pretty quickly after he met her that she is extremely ticklish and he always loves ticking her.

Macklin leaned down and started pressing kisses across her face tickling her even more making her gasp as she was laughing so hard.

He eventually slowed down tickling her and pressed softer kisses to her face making her slowly calm down and catch her breath.

Macklin slowly laid back down on top of Macklin as he pressed another kiss to her cheek.

Gemma finally caught her breath as her hand immediately went to Macklin’s hair and started running her fingers gently through it.

“I love you Hopey.” Macklin lovingly told her staring at her in awe from where he rested his chin on her chest. His finger traced across her face delicately and continued tracing till he reach her little nose and he booped her making her nose scrunch at him.

“I love you too Amore.” Gemma sweetly whispered back smiling as Macklin flushed pink as he does every time she calls him something in Italian.

Macklin smiled gently and pressed a kiss under her jaw before resting his head back down on her chest and sighing happily as her fingers gently combed through his hair.

“Are you excited for Jersey?” Macklin asked her curiously as he knows he really is excited for when they move to New Jersey soon.

They had found an apartment exactly in the middle of the New York Rangers facility and the New Jersey Devils facility.

Macklin could not wait till the days where he would spend more nights in the same bed as Gemma.

Gemma and Macklin did pick out an apartment with separate bedrooms for them both so they can have their own spaces but they knew they are going to end up in the same bed together every night.

“Yeah. I’m really excited.” Gemma honestly told her boyfriend and best friend. She has already been planning out how she is going to decorate their apartment as Macklin told her she can chose all the decorations.

She is also just excited because she gets to live with Macklin, her best friend. When they were in Boston they already spent most of their time at her place anyways and she loved it. Gemma could not wait till she got to live with Macklin fully.

“Good.” Macklin smiled gently hearing the excitement in her voice and could not wait till the day they move in.

Gemma and Macklin both slowly fell asleep in each other’s arms.

again

October 9, 2024

Gemma unfortunately was not able to get to Pittsburgh to be at Macklin’s first NHL game, something that made her incredibly sad but Macklin completely understood especially as he couldn’t make it to her first game.

Gemma was sitting on their couch wearing Macklin’s Ranger hoodie as she watched the Rangers win 6-0 against the penguins and Macklin got his first goal and assist.

Gemma was beaming proudly watching Macklin but became worried when Macklin slipped and went weird into the boards and he took a while to get up, she saw how he hit the hip that was still healing.

Gemma bit her lip as she watched how slowly Macklin got up but he didn’t go down the tunnel so that made her feel a bit better.

Gemma still was extremely worried the rest of the game and she could tell Macklin was in pain.

The game ended and it was already late and she knew she needed to try and sleep even if it was unlikely with her worrying about Macklin.

Luckily Macklin and his team was flying back that night so Macklin would be home in a few hours.

Gemma got ready for bed and stayed in clothes she stole from Macklin and went into his room cuddling under his blankets in his bed.

Gemma tossed and turned for a while just worrying about her boyfriend until she decided to go on her phone for a while as she couldn’t sleep.

Gemma didn’t even realize how long she was scrolling on her phone and was focused on the video playing she didn’t hear the door quietly open and Macklin drop his bags and shoes at the door and slowly walked to his room.

Gemma immediately sat up the second Macklin stepped through the doorway, she narrowed her eyes seeing him leaning more on side, “Is it hurt again?” Gemma immediately gently questioned getting out of bed and walking right to Macklin.

“Agitated it, they might have it fully heal before i play again.” Macklin whispered dejectedly having the saddest eyes, it was supposed to be one of the best days of his life but the joy was overshadowed by the pain and the lingering injury.

Gemma’s face soften seeing his sad face, she cupped his face softy bringing her face closer to him, “I’m proud of you. You played amazing amore.” Gemma cooed lovingly as she nudged her forehead to his forehead.

Macklin smiled slightly for the first time in hours. Gemma let out a small sigh of relief glad to know he’s kind of okay, she was worried he got badly injured and only agitating his hip is the best case scenario for him being injured.

“Let’s get you to bed Macky.” Gemma softly whispered seeing how Macklin was just in sweatpants and t-shirt and she gently brought him to his bed.

Macklin laid down on his back finding a comfortable position for his hip as Gemma laid down gently next to him and curled up to him on his good side.

“I love you.” Gemma whispered softly feeling herself finally starting to fall asleep now that she knows Macklin is okay and he’s back with her.

“I love you too Hopey.” Macklin softly whispered pressing a kiss to her head as he pulled the blanket more over her shoulders and they both slowly fell asleep.

first day

September 12, 2024

Gemma took a deep breath as she got out of her car after she parked in the parking lot for going into the Devil’s Prudential Center.

It was her official first day of practice and training camp and she didn’t know too many people on the roster for the first training camp.

Gemma walked into the arena and headed to the locker room where she saw a few people but not to many yet and looked around the room for her stall, she found her stall and looked to the left of her stall and smiled seeing who was gonna be next to her, Seamus.

Gemma met Seamus playing on the US team together and she would say they are good friends especially as they won gold together.

Gemma sat down on her stall getting ready for practice.

She was braiding her hair when she felt someone sit next to her and she smiled seeing Seamus, “Shea!” Gemma grinned and stood up hugging him.

“Hey Fants.” Seamus smiled hugging her back glad to see someone he’s close to here.

Seamus and Gemma sat down in their stalls and started catching up as they both finished getting ready for practice.

Gemma and Seamus walked out of the locker room together still yapping to each other until they got on the ice.

Gemma perked up seeing Jack Malone on the ice as she didn’t see him in the locker room, “Hi Malo.” Gemma smiled softly nudging his gently as she skated next to him.

“Hey Gemma.” Jack smiled softly at her patting the top of her helmet and smiled at her once more before she had to skate away to where she was being called.

Gemma looked around the ice and realized she was one step closer to get accomplishing her dream, she knew the coaches said she would be staying for the next training camp with the Devils roster but she wanted to make sure she still played and worked just as hard.

Just because she was being told she was gonna be staying she wasn’t gonna stop working as hard.

And anyone could tell, it the first day yet Gemma was practicing just as hard as she plays in games and just skating around everyone with ease.

The coaches watching knew they made the right choice with Gemma and Sheldon gave Gemma a proud nod as she walked off the ice. Sheldon knew Gemma was gonna become one of the better players in the league and she is only barely eighteen and has so much room to grow.

Gemma headed into the showers after the long practice and slipped on her Devil’s sweatpants and sweatshirt after and luckily she managed to not have to any media on her first day and grabbed her stuff quickly heading to her car wanting to go home to Macklin.

Gemma drove back to her and Macklin’s apartment and walked through the lobby and took the elevator up to their floor.

Gemma opened the front door slipped her shoes off setting them next to Macklin’s and tossing her keys into the little bowl on the front entrance table, “Mack i’m home!” Gemma called out softly as she walked into their apartment and found Macklin on the kitchen.

Gemma saw Macklin platting some food on to two plates, “Please tell me you did not cook that.” Gemma blurted out looking worried. She hopped Macklin was not cooking when she was gone and he was alone.

Macklin scoffed playfully knowing why she is worried, “I didn’t.” Macklin pouted giving her his puppy eyes.

Gemma smiled sheepishly but she knows Macklin in the kitchen is not a good idea, he burnt water trying to boil noddles, “Sorry.” Gemma softly whispered as she pressed a kiss to his cheek.

Macklin just smiled never being offended by anything Gemma says.

“Smells good.” Gemma nodded her head stealing a cucumber off the plate as Macklin wrapped up platting the food he got them from takeout.

“Good.” Macklin softly spoke back grabbing the plates as Gemma kissed his cheek once more and grabbed drinks for them and followed Macklin to the dining room table.

Gemma beamed seeing a new bouquet of pink flowers in the vase on the dining room table, “Thank you Amore.”

Gemma looked so happy seeing fresh flowers just as happy as she is every week Macklin gets her flowers and that’s the main reason he gets her flowers so often because they make her so happy.

“Always.” Macklin promised pressing a kiss to her wet hair and pulling out her chair for her to sit down and grabbed the chair next to her spotting closer to her.

Gemma gave him a soft look as he scooted closer to her and Macklin just grinned shrugging nonchalantly, “I missed you.”

Macklin’s words made her face soften and she scooted her chair closer to him and now their chairs were touching even other and it made Macklin smile satisfied.

“How was your first day?” Macklin asked always genuinely curious when it comes to his Gemma.

Macklin would have his first day tomorrow with the Ranger’s.

Gemma started telling Macklin everything she did on her first day as they ate their early dinner together.

Macklin happily stayed quiet content to listen to Gemma talk about everything, he loves where Gemma will ramble and he gets to just listen to her.

Macklin smiled softly pressing a kiss to the side of her head as he finished his food but was still happily listening to her talk.

Gemma finished her food and grabbed both of the plates here Macklin could making him give her a playful glare and she just grinned at him as she walked towards the kitchen and started washing the dishes.

“I would’ve done that.” Macklin softly told her as he walked up behind her wrapping his arms around her resting his head on her chin.

“I know Macky.” Gemma softly spoke as she leaned into him as she washed the few dishes. Gemma giggled as Macklin pressed a few soft kisses to her neck.

prague

October 4, 2024

Gemma was smiling as she listened to Macklin talk to her through facetime as she was getting ready for her first NHL game.

She loved the suit she had for her draft and went back to the same place to get her suit made for her first game, she chose an all red suit with the vest and everything and it was a velvet material.

Gemma was buttoning up her vest and noticed Macklin had stopped talking and looked up noticing he was staring at her, “Mack.” Gemma whined covering her face as her cheeks were burning, she knew exactly what his look is.

“What?” Macklin grinned seeing her being shy, “How can i not admire my pretty girl.” Macklin smiled flirting with his girlfriend.

Gemma let out a small smile and peeked out from behind her hands as her entire face was flushed, “Mack.” Gemma softly mumbled.

Macklin grinned even wider and took multiple screenshots of her.

“Stop!” Gemma laughed as she watched the screenshot go off a bunch.

Macklin just shrugged with a smile but did stop as she asked him too.

“Hey you’re gonna do amazing today.” Macklin pipped in giving her a soft but serious look, he wished he could be there for her first game but unfortunately he couldn’t be and she wouldn’t be able to be at his first game either.

Gemma softly nodded, “Thanks Amore.”

She slipped on her black boots and threw her blazer jacket on and fixing her seventeen necklace.

“Do a spin please.” Macklin softly asked as he looked at the screen eagerly, he always have loved red on Gemma.

Gemma smiled shyly and spun around to Macklin, “Absolutely beautiful my love.” Macklin lovingly told her.

“Thank you.” Gemma softly mumbled back with flushed cheeks again.

“Go talk to your brothers i’ll talk to you tonight, I love you and you’re going to do amazing.” Macklin softly spoke to her.

Gemma smiled softly picking up her phone, “I love you, talk to you tonight Macky.” Gemma blew him a soft kiss making him grin and catch the kiss before she hung up.

Gemma clicked on the facetime with Luca and Adam and Luca answered first and a few moments later Adam joined.

“Happy first game day Gems!” Luca softly cheered with a proud smile, he was incredibly disappointed he wasn’t able to come out and see her first game but hopefully he could make it a home game soon to see her play.

“Welcome to the NHL Gemmie!” Adam playfully sung out with a wide proud smile. He was sad with his own schedule he wouldn’t be able to come out and see her first game especially as she saw came to see his.

“Thanks guys.” Gemma softly spoke smiling at her older brothers, it was a bit disappointing to realize that only her parents could be at her first game but at least they would be here because when she won the gold medal she had no family there.

“I’m sorry i couldn’t make it.” Luca apologized frowning slightly.

“It’s okay.” Gemma accepted his apology and she talked with her brothers for a little while more before she said her goodbyes and grabbed her things leaving her hotel room.

Gemma walked down to the lobby seeing a lot of the team there already and waiting for the bus to show up.

Gemma walked over to Seamus and talked with him until the bus came and she headed into the bus sitting next to Jack.

Gemma walked into the arena with her team heading to the locker room.

Gemma headed to her stall sitting down and getting ready for warms up. She followed some of her team to play sewer to warm up for a little while before they all headed to the locker room getting their hockey equipment on.

Gemma spilt her hair into two and started french braiding her hair, she likes to always have some time of braid in her hair when she is playing and two french braids are one of her favorites. She tied off the braids and reached back into her stall grabbing her roll of red ribbon that she always wears for games only.

Gemma has been tying red ribbon bows on her hair for years now and it’s something she does for every game.

Gemma tied the ribbons into bows around both braids and tossed the roll back into her stall.

“Do you always do bows?” Dawson asked curiously as he was watched her tie the bows, he had saw the ribbons in the stall and was curious what they are used for.

“Always.” Gemma nodded softly.

“Bows.” Nate grinned from where he sat next to Dawson.

“Ohh yes that’s a good nickname.” Dawson immediately agreed with Nate.

“Bows.” Dougie grinned as he walked by tugging softly on her braid.

Gemma smiled slightly at the nickname not minding.

Gemma stood up and started walking out of the locker room getting high fives and pats on the head as she headed to the ice for her rookie lap with Seamus.

Gemma and Seamus shared a smile and a fist bump before Gemma hopped onto the ice first with Seamus right behind her.

They passed the puck back and forth with each other and took a few shots on the goal before heading towards the bench and the rest of the team joined them on the ice.

Gemma giggled as Jack playfully sook her shoulders giving her a proud smile before she skated around warming up.

She perked up as Jonathan passed her a puck and gestured for her to pass it back, Gemma and Kovacevic passed the pack and fourth with each other and he let her pass the puck around his legs until they had to go off the ice until the start of the game.

Gemma got to stand on the ice for the national anthem for her first game and was on the starting line with Palat and Nico and then after the first shift they would go back to their lines.

Gemma focused on the ice and smiled as she realized she finally did it, she made it in the NHL and she’s starting her first game.

She loved it immediately, the game is already faster and harder than she is used to but she loves it and was playing incredible.

Gemma was on her fourth shift of the first period the score was still 0-0 and it was the first power play for the Devils.

Nico passed the puck across the ice to Jack and Jack went around the back of the net passing the puck across the front of the goal right to Gemma, Gemma hit the puck into the goal and she blinked her smile growing as she realized she just scored her first goal.

Gemma giggled as Jack got to her first and immediately hugging her as Nico came to her next giving her endless head pats and Jesper hugged her from the other side. Dougie and Kovacevic quickly joined the hug all of them congratulating her.

Gemma was let go after a little while and when she skated to the bench she didn’t notice Nico grab the puck.

Gemma high fived her whole team with a proud beaming smile before she sat down on the bench.

Keefe gave her shoulder a proud shake before patting her shoulder.

Before she knew the second period was already starting and the score was still 1-0.

Gemma had the puck on her stick and flicked it back to Jonathan who took the puck and shot it, getting a goal.

Gemma smiled widely as she skated over hugging Kovacevic.

Jonathan smiled at his first goal with the Devils but also shook Gemma excitedly as she just got her first assist.

Gemma was continuing to play amazing so she kept her sent out more and more and was sent out with Nico and Paul for a shift.

Cotter had the puck skating up the ice and passed it to Gemma who took the puck close to the ice and didn’t look when she flicked it right to Nico, who shot it right into the goal.

The Devil’s were now leading 3-1.

The third period started and Buffalo managed to finally get a goal halfway through the third period.

Gemma had a breakaway and glanced up and shot the puck right into the top corner of the net, gaining her second goal of the game.

Gemma was giggling as her teammates on the ice all hugged her and gave her head pats.

The Devils won the first game against Buffalo 4-1.

Gemma had two goals and two assists in her first NHL game.

Obviously Gemma got the first star of the game and was very perplexed why she was given a Rolex but just smiled softly and didn’t question it.

Gemma stepped into the locker room and immediately was drenched in water from her team making her laugh as they all cheered for her.

Gemma managed to get away from the water after a little bit and sat on her stall.

Nico plopped down next to her and gave her shoulder a soft proud squeeze, “You played an amazing game.” Nico complimented her giving her gentle smile and held out his hand holding two pucks.

“Are these?” Gemma perked up as she saw the writing on the pucks and gently picked them up.

“Your first goal and your first assist.” Nico smiled at her, he is usually the one who tries to grab the special pucks for his team.

“Thank you.” Gemma sweetly smiled at her captain and he gave her a gentle nod, “Nico?”

Nico hummed giving her his attention.

“What am i’m supposed to do with a Rolex?” Gemma sheepishly asked holding up the bag, she’s pretty sure it won’t even fit her right now.

Nico couldn’t help but laugh, “You can keep it and not wear it, give it to someone or get it resized to wear.”

Gemma nodded slightly she knew she wasn’t going to wear maybe Macklin would.

Gemma listened to Keefe talking to them after the game before she was allowed to head to the showers and got dressed back in her suit before grabbing her few things and walking out of the locker room.

Gemma walked out and saw her mom and dad waiting for her and she quickly walked over to them hugging them both at the same time.

“Our Gem you were incredible.” Julia softly cooed smiling at her only daughter.

Giuliano pressed a kiss to his daughter’s cheek, “Amazing Gem.”

Gemma smiled at her parents and leaned into the them as they walked out of the arena and headed to a small restaurant to get dinner together.

Gemma really wanted pizza so they found the cutest little pizza restaurant and face timed Adam and Luca.

It wasn’t perfect because Adam and Luca weren’t there but it was almost perfect and that’s good enough for Gemma.

Gemma spent a few hours with her parents and on the phone with her brothers before she was getting exhausted and headed back to the hotel.

Gemma quickly got into a pair of Macklin’s sweatpants and t-shirt and got into bed cuddling with her flower bouquet stuff animal immediately face timing Macklin.

“HOPEY!” Macklin cheered the second he answered the call, “You were so incredibly love!” Macklin had a proud smile on his face.

Gemma smiled softly, “Thanks Macky.”

Macklin started to ramble about everything he loved she did in the game and her eyes started fluttering shut listening to his voice as she eventually fell asleep.

Macklin smiled lovingly seeing her fast asleep.

The next game went just as good for Gemma, she got one goal and an assist on Seamus’s first goal, The Devils won that game too meaning they won both games in Prague.

worse

April 28, 2025

It was the sixth playoff game in the first series and Penguins have won two so far. Kensington was having some great games in the games so far.

Kensington asked her family not to come out for the first round and come out if that make it two the second and her friends were all busy with the school year ending soon they couldn’t join anyways.

It was halfway through the third period and the teams were tied 2-2 and Kensington had just scored the last goal tying them back up during her last shift.

She looked up as she took the pass from Sidney when she suddenly felt the other team player slam into her but more importantly they slammed into her bad knee, she quickly crumpled to the floor and instantly she was groaning out in excruciating pain, it was completely worse than the first time it was injured.

Kensington was on her side and curled in to a little ball, holding her knee to her chest, whimpering out in pain as she felt so much pain in her knee, more than she has the whole time it’s been injured.

Sidney and Braden both quickly rushed over to her as well the penguins trainers, everyone on the team knows about her injury and they can see her holding her bad knee.

Kensington looked up with teary eyes and shook her head, she knew she wouldn’t be playing any longer.

The trainer had Sideny and Braden help her up again and she had all her weight on her good leg, her bad knee not even close to touching the ice. She wrapped her arms around the two and they both wrapped an arm around her back helping her stand.

They slowly helped her get of the ice and down the tunnel. Luckily they were playing at home so they had there full medical staff, Kensington was helped down the tunnel and in to a medical room and in to the medical bed.

Sidney and Braden both wanted to stay and be by her side, “Go, go win the game.” Kensington croaked out barely being able to open her eyes from how much pain she was in.

They didn’t win the game and the Penguins were out from the playoffs.

Kensington had gotten helped changed out of her uniform and equipment and they took her into the MRI, the medical team shared a uneasy look seeing how bad the knee had gotten from that hit, they knew surgery was now needed and as soon as possible.

Kensington was staring at the celling devastated as she knew her knee was worse she could feel how bad it was and she had just gotten out of the playoffs for the first time.

She looked up as the door opened and the doctors walked in with hesitant looks on their faces and Kensington felt dread fill her stomach as she knew something was bad, something bad with her knee.

“Tell me.” Kensington politely demanded she wanted to get it over with, she knew nothing good would be coming from them and she prepared for the worst.

“Your tear is still there and it has gotten worse, but you also damaged more in your knee. Kensington you have a grade 3 tear in your ACL and MCL. You’ll need surgery as soon as possible.” The doctor gravely told her.

“How long will i be out.” Kensington desperately questioned as she realized she know how three different tears in her one knee.

“At least four months up to six months depending on how it heals.” The other doctor sadly told her, “We can schedule your surgery for tomorrow morning we just need your consent.”

“Do it.” Kensington quickly agreed knowing the sooner she gets the surgery the sooner she can heal up.

The doctors left the room giving her some space.

One of the team members had gotten her personal items and brought her to Kensington, she grabbed her phone and saw hundreds of texts and she knew everyone saw her fall and were definitely texting her very worried.

She ignored everything and clicked on her mom’s contact, for the first in months she was calling someone else and not declining someone else’s call or face time, she held the phone up to her ear waiting for her mom to answer.

“Sunny!” Ellen quickly answered the phone and had four pairs of eyes on her all just as worried for Kensington.

Jack, Luke, Jim, Quinn and Ellen were all at home in Michigan watching her game together and had been worried like crazy since they saw her fall and get helped off the ice.

“Mama.” Kensington felt herself tear up at her mom’s voice, “I really need you to come here.” Kensington knew she couldn’t hide this any longer and she needed her family.

“Of course we will be out as soon as possible.” Ellen quickly assured just wanting to see her daughter, “Sunshine are you okay?” Ellen heard the wavering in her daughter’s voice.

“No. No I’m not okay.” Kensington whispered out, she hadn’t been okay in along time, “I’m getting surgery tomorrow.”

“Oh my sunshine.” Ellen covered her mouth knowing it has to be bad to get a surgery that quick, “We will be there okay.” Ellen reassured her.

“Thank you Mama.” Kensington sniffed blinking her eyes to keep her tears in.

“And uh could you tell Will please.” Kensington whispered softly she knew she needed Will just as much even if she felt like she didn’t deserve to ask for him to come with how she’s been treating him.

“I will.” Ellen hummed she knew she would tell Will, Ryan and Gabe and they all would be coming out as well, “I’ll see you tomorrow my sunshine i love you.”

“I love you too mom.” Kensington whispered back.

August 5, 2024

Gemma and Macklin followed Adam into a Michigan Hockey Rink where Adam had been training the past few weeks and last off season as well. Also where Gemma knows Luke trains too so she is happy she will get to see him.

Gemma invited Macklin to come spend time with her and her family in Michigan and to train together before the season starts.

Gemma and Macklin both set their hockey bags down and one of the equipment workers took the bags to the locker room.

Adam went around and introduced Gemma and Macklin to a few people they found walking around and they walked into the locker room and Gemma beamed seeing Luke.

“Luke!” Gemma beamed as she softly called out and Luke turned away from his brothers smiling as he saw Gemma and immediately pulled her into a hug.

“Hey Emmie.” Luke softly spoke to his newest teammate. Luke was ecstatic when Gemma was drafted to the New Jersey Devils.

Quinn and Jack shared an excited look as they will finally get to meet the girl that Luke seems to care for a lot and sees as a little sister.

Jack had immediately gotten Gemma’s number from Luke when she got drafted to the Devils and he already texted her quite a bit. He knows first hand how much pressure it is to he the first overall pick and he wants to make sure his teammate enjoys her year.

“Emmie this is Jack and Quinn!” Luke kept an arm over her shoulder as he introduced her to his brothers.

“Hi.” Gemma sweetly and shyly smiled at the two. She has heard a lot about them from Luke.

Luke could see Jack’s entire face soften and Quinn’s eyes soften at Gemma and Luke smirked not surprised as Gemma is just adorable and easy to love.

“It’s nice to finally meet you Gemma!” Jack beamed and hugged Gemma softly. Gemma giggled softly and hugged Jack back.

“Nice to meet you too Jack.” Gemma sweetly said back and she has texted quite a bit with Hack since the draft so was excited to finally meet him.

“Hello Gemma.” Quinn kindly and gently spoke to the young girl and she gently shook Quinn’s hand that he has outstretched.

Gemma smiled happily, “Hi!”

Jack and Quinn shared a look completely understanding how Luke adores Gemma. She is so adorable and they knew she would absolutely become incredibly important to them just as she is already to Luke.

“Hey Mack.” Luke greeted Gemma’s boyfriend. Luke gave a Macklin a smile and introduced him to Jack and Quinn as well.

“Hi!” Macklin smiled back he was smiling as he watched Gemma interact with Luke knowing how Gemma looks up to Luke and it’s always sweet to see. He sent a quick smile to Quinn and Jack as well.

“Hey Mo.” Luke greeted his friend with a handshake.

“Hey Lukey.” Adam smiled at his friend as his eyes were incredibly soft seeing Gemma with Luke and he knew Gemma was gonna be in good hands with Luke and now Jack in New Jersey.

Jack stole Gemma from Luke and wrapped an arm around her shoulder and started yapping and Gemma was completely listening and nodding along happily as Jack led them away from the group.

Quinn let out a fond laugh shaking his head seeing that Jack seems to find someone who would listen to all his rambles.

Luke just shook his head fondly knowing that one Gemma met Jack that Jack would immediately love her. He couldn’t wait for the rest of the Devils to meet her soon.

Macklin and Adam shared a relieved look seeing Gemma just immediately get along with Jack and Quinn not that they at surprised but both are glad she got along with Jack especially as she is joining the same team as Jack soon and she will have more friends there when she joins.

before

April 30, 2024

Luca pulled into the parking lot of the US hockey rink and Gemma leaned over pressing a soft kiss to her big brother’s cheek, “Thank you Lu.” Gemma softly spoke to him before she hopped out the car and grabbing her hockey bag from the back of the car before waving bye to Luca as she walked up to the US hockey rink.

She had only just recently gotten into Michigan after her season ended and she spent a few days at Adam’s with him recovering still from his injury and now she will spend a few days with Luca before she leaves in two days to go to Prauge for Worlds.

It was the first day of practices for Worlds and the team are all meeting in Michigan and practicing here until they all head together to prague.

Gemma was able to hand her hockey bag to an equipment worker as she walked in and not have to carry it with her throughout the entire rink which she was very grateful for.

She knew today the practice was mostly gonna be a lot of talking and reviewing tapes and ending up with a workout in the gym but nothing on the ice today.

Gemma walked into the theater room and saw a few players in there already and saw a certain tall boy with a head of curls.

Luke turned around and saw his favorite Fantilli, “Emmie!” Luke beamed and walked over pulling her into a tight hug and spun her around.

Gemma giggled and happily hugged him back, “Hi Lukey.”

Gemma had met the Michigan when she was thirteen and she clicked with Luke the quickest and there is no one else she is closer to from Michigan.

Luke is the only person to call her Emmie.

Luke set her back down and looked at her looking at the differences about her as he hadn’t seen her for a few months.

It is odd to Luke how he remembered meeting her so many years ago and how young she was and now every time he sees her she has grown so much. Luke couldn’t believe she was getting drafted in a few months and now they are playing together at Worlds.

Luke has played with both of the other Fantilli’s and he can not wait to be able to play with the last one but his favorite.

“Emmie, this is Trevor, Cole, Matt and Brady.” Luke threw an arm over her shoulder as he introduced her to the boys he was walking to do before she came in.

“And this is Gemma.” Luke proudly introduced her.

Cole smiled softly thinking she was adorable and she was actually shorter than him which is not common ever.

Matt smiled as he knew exactly who Gemma is, as he still follows Boston college and you couldn’t watch one game the past season and not know who Gemma is.

Brady nodded at her and Trevor grinned excited to meet new people as he always is.

Luke guided Gemma away and over to one of the seats, “That is Matt Boldy!” Gemma whispered having stars in her eyes as she told Luke.

Luke laughed throwing his head back knocking exactly why she is star stuck because Matt played at BC.

Luke was one of the very few people who were not surprised they Gemma choose to attend Boston College instead of the University of Michigan. He knew because he saw all the times she would be watching BC Hockey games on her phone and she always spoke about how cool Boston is, he knew she would end up at BC.

Gemma and Luke sat down next to each other and started catching up with each other even though they do stay in contact pretty well but they haven’t talked in a bit and as they waited for the rest of the players to show up and for the meeting to start.

Gabe, Will and Ryan walked in minutes before the meeting and Gemma saw Will and Gabe’s annoyed faces meaning Ryan made them run late.

Gabe and Will perked up when they saw Gemma and immediately walked over to her leaving Ryan behind but not for long as he saw Gemma too and walked over quickly.

“Gem!” Gabe beamed and leaned down hugging one of his favorite teammates, even if he did just see her two weeks ago after their terribly sad end of a season.

“Hi Gabe-O.” Gemma softly spoke back smiling as she leaned into hug.

While Gabe was distracted hugging Gemma, Will plopped down onto the seat next to Gemma and sent a mischievous smile at Gabe when he turned his way.

Will leaned over and hugged her tightly. Gemma hugged him back softly as Gabe sat down next to Will.

“Best for lasts.” Ryan grined smugly at WIll and Gabe getting identical fond eye rolls.

“Hey G.” Ryan hugged her quickly and ruffled her hair in the way he knows she hates.

“Leo.” Gemma softly groaned and tried to fix her hair as Ryan sat down next to Gabe, “What have we talked about touching my hair.” Gemma gave her a stern glance, where was Eamon when you need him to have Ryan knock it off. Gemma shook off that thought not wanting to get sad thinking about her captain.

“Not too.” Ryan cheekily grinned shrugging nonchalantly and grunted at the smack on the arm from Will, who gave Ryan a knock it off look not liking to much teasing towards Gemma.

Gemma just gave a long look to Luke, basically telling him what she dealt with throughout the season and he chuckled.

Gemma leaned against Luke’s arm as they waited for the meeting to start and she had a feeling she was really going to enjoy playing in Worlds but also being able to play with Luke for the first time ever and Worlds is probably the only way she will ever be able to play with Will, Gabe or Ryan and they might be the last chance she plays with all three of them at the same time.

wanted to win

April 13, 2024

Kensington felt her heart drop even further once the buzzer finally rung, meaning that Boston College had officially lost the national championship to Denver University.

She felt her stomach just drop and felt like she suddenly couldn’t stand on her own two feet. She shakily kneeled down on the ice letting out an extremely shaky breath and could feel the tears in her eyes.

Kensington had officially played her last game for Boston College and her last game with all of her best friends and no one even knew but her and her family. She hopped that a day or two after the game if they won that she could tell everyone and it wouldn’t be so bad because they would be on a high after the win but now she knew now, it would be devastating.

Cutter stumbled a few steps over to Kensington and kneeled down in front of her, He looked at her with a nauseating look on his face and felt his jaw trembling making him clench his jaw, he leaned his forehead on her shoulder taking a deep breath.

Kensington leaned her head on top of his helmet letting a few tears drip down her face as she also knew Cutter was leaving.

“You’re leaving aren’t you.” Cutter whispered having a suspicion for awhile, he’s known her for years now and with how much she was sneaking off to talk to her agent and how guilty she looked when the topic of next season came up, he knew.

Kensington’s shuttering breath was the answer to his question.

Kensington slowly stood up and put a hand down for Cutter, he stood up for her and she turned about seeing Gabe, Will and Ryan walking over to them.

Kensington felt her eyes tearing up even more as she saw her three boys and she quickly pulled them into a hug making the three all wrapped their arms around her.

Ryan hid his face against his best friend’s head and sniffled desperately, Gabe leaned his head onto Ryan’s looking extremely out of it. Will just hid his face in his girlfriend’s neck grabbing onto her hand and holding it like it’s his lifeline.

Kensington didn’t know how she was going to break their hearts even more when she tells them she is leaving.

Kensington, Ryan, Gabe and Will all reluctantly let go of each other and stumbled slowly off the ice and down the tunnel, into the locker room.

Kensington slowly sat down onto her stall, feeling robotic as she slowly started taking off her equipment. Her brain was so fogged that all the words from the coaches and Eamon just didn’t even register, she kept her eyes downcast on the floor of the locker room.

Kensington was the last to get up and start stumbling to the showers, she didn’t know how long she stood under the burning hot water but long enough to not see anyone left in the locker room when she finally came out.

She looked at her stall once more and gently traced her fingers over her name and looked to the left seeing Will’s and Ryan’s name and to the right Gabe’s name, the last time she would ever play with all three of her best friends.

Jack walked down the hallway having seen the whole team come out already and meeting with their family and he saw Will’s sad shake of his head when Jack looked at him.

Jack knew how devastating and heartbreaking a lost like this is, he was close to Kensington’s age when he had a terrible lost at the WJC, getting second place is the last place you want.

Jack walked into the locker room gently leaning against the door being mindful of his sling, he watched as his sister gently traced her name above her stall, “I had a feeling you would still be here.” Jack spoke watching as his little sister didn’t even flinch at his presence.

“Yeah why’s that.” Kensington monotonously spoke not looking at her brother because she knew she would crack and start sobbing and she was afraid she would never be able to stop.

“Because you’ve always liked to be alone when you’re upset.” Jack fondly commented and walked into the room sitting down gingerly on the stall next to hers, he patted her stall gently and gave her a look.

Kensington let out a breath and sat down to Jack, “I wanted to win.” Kensington played with her rings.

“I know.” Jack simply hummed and gently wrapped his good arm around her shoulder.

“I-.” Kensington voice cracked with emotion making her sniffle and wipe her eye, “I just wanted to end in a happy note.” Kensington didn’t want her last game and memories with the team to be so sad, she loved everything about Boston College and it’s been one of the best year of her life and she hates that it as ending so heartbreaking.

Jack just pulled her to his chest and gently rubbed her back and that just made her bust out into sobs, her who’s body was just shaking with her sobs and her face was soaking wet with salty tears that were getting Jack’s jacket wet.

“Ssh, It’s okay Sunny, let it all out.” Jack softly cooed feeling his heartbreaking even more for his baby sister as he gently rubbed her back and kiss the top of her head.

“I’m never gonna play with any of them again.” Kensington chocked out between her sobs, the first time she’s spoke about her leaving out loud.

Kensington just sobbed even harder and could feel her breathing catching as she sobbed so hard, “I just wanted to win.” Kensington whispered and held onto her big brother tighter.

Jack felt tears come to his eyes seeing how upset his baby sister is and a part of him right there hated that hockey had done this to her, to Luke, to Quinn, to Him.

Jack pressed more soft kisses to the top of her head and could feel her tears starting to soak through his shirt now.

Kensington’s sobs slowly started to calm down and she just leaned her forhead still on Jack’s chest trying to catch her breath.

“I’m sorry, i know how much this sucks.” Jack softly comforted her, he knew nothing he would say would really make her feel much better so he just had to be there for her.

Kensington nodded and reluctantly leaned up and lifted her head off Jack and winced apologetically seeing the wet spot on Jack’s jacket.

Jack just smiled shaking off her concerns and pulled his jacket down onto his hand and gently wiped off her tears and gave her a soft kiss to her forehead.

He sent her one more comforting smile before looked at the door seeing Will walk in.

Kensington looked up and saw her just as heartbroken boyfriend and she got up and met him halfway in a tight hug.

Jack smiled softly at the two, he knew there will never be anyone better than Will for his sister and if they can get through the distance then they would be together forever. He quietly left the locker room.

Will held onto his girlfriend tightly and slowly shifted them to the floor and Kensington shuffled closer sitting on his lap, on the floor in the middle of the locker room as they hugged each other tightly.

She knew she had to do this eventually, “I’m leaving this season Will.” Kensington pulled back and avoided eye contact with her long time best friend and boyfriend.

Will swallowed harshly, he knew she was going to leave before him because he knew her team wanted her this season but she declined as she wanted to attend Boston College, so he isn’t surprised but it still hurts just as bad.

Will just let out a shaky breath and cupped her face turning her back to him and pressed their foreheads together closing his eyes.

“I know baby. I know.” Will mumbled softly sniffling as he felt tears running down his face again. Kensington just let out a watery breath and closed her eyes.

long naps

May 1, 2024

Luca shut the car off once he pulled into the parking lot and he hopped out of the car with Gemma, he grabbed her suitcase for her as she put her duffle bag on her shoulders.

“Have fun Gems.” Luca brushed back a piece of her hair from her face and softly kissed his little sister’s forehead. Luca had wanted to come out and be able to see her play but he was busy during the tournament and Gemma reassured him that it was no big deal.

“Bye Lu.” Gemma softly whispered as her big brother pulled her into a hug, she hugged him back tightly before pulling back and pressing a kiss to his cheek.

Luke walked over to the Fantilli siblings with his suitcase, “Hey Luca.” Luke greeted his friend with a clap of his shoulder before tossing his arm over Gemma’s shoulders.

“Hey Hughesy.” Luca fondly greeted him back, Luca was glad Gemma is so comfortable around Luke and Luca has always been able to tell that Luke adores Gemma and knows she will be in good hands with him.

“I’ve got her.” Luke reassured Luca.

“I know.” Luca smiled nodding.

Luke and Luca had no idea how much truth will ge those words once Gemma gets drafted.

Gemma smiled softly her brother before grabbing her suitcase and heading over to the bus with Luke. Gemma and Luke both gave their suitcases to the workers and checked in before they got into the bus.

Gemma walked down a few rows before plopping down onto a seat and Luke sat down next to her.

Gemma pulled out her phone turning it on and her phone flashed on revealing her lock screen, a photo of Macklin and her laughing with each other and staring at one another with their foreheads touching. Gemma starred at the photo and while she adored seeing a picture of Macklin, it just also made her miss him more.

“Is it going well with him?” Luke curiously but quietly asked her as some the rows around them were filling up. He remembered the first time he heard about Macklin from Gemma and the smile that was on her face and he had a feeling Macklin would be staying around and he was right, Macklin and Gemma got together a few months ago.

Gemma felt her face soften, “Yeah really well.” Gemma softly answered back with a loving smile. A small part of her was really nervous what was going to happen after the draft, it was most likely they would both be drafted far away from one another and she had no idea how they would do it but she shook off the thought not wanting to think about it until she had too.

“Good i’m glad you’rere happy with him Emmie.” Luke told her truthfully making her smile thankful.

Gemma perked up seeing a text come in from Macklin and her attention was entirely on her phone for the next thirty minutes not even realizing the bus had started driving and was already at the airport.

Gemma looked up feeling Luke nudge her and she looked out the window and realized they were at the airport already. She flashed a thankful look at Luke and followed him as she got up and grabbed her duffle bag.

Gemma followed Luke out of the bus and up the stairs of the plane.

Gemma followed Luke like a little duckling and Luke did not care whatsoever, He knew how hard it is to join a new team especially being so much younger than everyone else as she is not even eighteen yet and knows four people on the team.

Luke just wants to make sure Gemma is a comfortable as possible, she is so kind to everyone but she is still very shy and takes a bit to come out do her shell around new people.

Luke happily let Gemma have the window as he knows she likes it better and he likes the aisle to stretch his legs better.

Gemma grabbed Macklin’s black hoodie out of her bag and her over the ear headphones and slipped the hoodie on and started playing her playlist she shares with Macklin and leaned her head on the seat closing her her eyes as she brought her legs up on the seat and curled into a little ball.

Gemma quickly fell asleep under a minute and her head fell onto Luke’s arm, He just glanced at her and closed his eyes going to sleep too.

The plane took off and within a few minutes some of the boys were up and walking around, Matt looked over and noticed Gemma and Luke fast asleep, “Aw.” He mumbled thinking the two are both adorable more so Gemma.

Cole looked over and awed at the two as well.

Will, Gabe and Ryan were sitting around a table and heard Matt and Cole awing and they looked over seeing Gemma fast asleep with Luke.

“That girl can sleep everywhere.” Ryan shook his head fondly, He remembered all the times they found her sleeping, she even took quick naps in between intermissions and she is always napping in the oddest spots and in positions that never look comfortable.

“So can Luke.” Cole told them laughing into remembering all the times he has been around the Hughes and Luke is always sleeping, more often than not Luke is eating or sleeping.

Gemma and Luke were passed out the entire nine hour flight, neither of them moving once.

Matt walked over to them once the plane landed and shook his head surprised how they managed to sleep the entire flight, “Luke.” Matt gently spoke shaking Luke’s arm. Luke groaned and rubbed his eyes, “We landed.” Matt told Luke making him nod and Matt walked away once Luke woke up

Luke tried to stretch and felt Gemma still using his arm as a pillow and he let out a fond breath, “Emmie.” Luke softly spoke brushing her hair away from her face feeling her stir a little.

Luke fondly smiled, Gemma is the closest thing he has ever had to sister or a little sibling ever and he was happy having her as his honorary little sister and had a feeling that when Jack or Quinn meet her they would agree with him.

Gemma softly groaned as she woke up and set up stretching as she just slept nine hours in a little ball.
