moving in

September 6, 2024

Gemma smiled fondly at her mother’s worrying and just let her mother ramble while she hugged her.

Gemma knew her parents were sad and nervous with Gemma moving out officially, it was a bit different than when she was away from home because of hockey and staying with someone or her going to collage, she is officially moving out of her home and starting a new chapter in her life.

“Mom i’ll be fine.” Gemma softly reassured her mom, she knew her mom would be worried because she was just as worried last year when Adam moved out.

“I know.” Julia agreed cupping her youngest cheek, it still shocked her everyday how fast her kids had all grown up and that Gemma is already eighteen.

“I’ll see you in a few weeks.” Gemma reminded her parents squeezing her Dad’s hand.

Gemma was already confirmed to be on the team on the upcoming season and her parents were planning to come see her first game that would be in Prague, unfortunately Adam definitely won’t be able to go and Luca most likely won’t be able to either.

Julia nodded and pressed a kiss to her only daughter’s head, “Ti Amo my Gem.” Julia softly whispered to her daughter.

“Ti Amo Mama.” Gemma sweetly whispered back and politely ignored the tears in her mom’s eye and she hugged her Dad softly.

Giuliano pressed a gentle kiss to his only daughter’s cheek. They didn’t need to share any words just a look with a smile before he let her go and wrapped an arm around his wife.

Luca frowned feeling incredibly old that his baby sister is old enough to live in her own apartment with her boyfriend all alone in a new city, “Are you going to be okay Gems?” Luca asked worriedly.

Luca has always has hated how much Gemma has been alone because of hockey because for almost his entire life he always had Adam and when he moved away from home he had Adam with him but Gemma is always on her own.

“I’m gonna be okay.” Gemma softly reassured her eldest brother, she was looking forward to start a new chapter in her life especially with Macklin. She was about to start living out the dream she has had for years she was excited not sad.

Luca slowly nodded believing Gemma’s words, “Okay.” Luca pulled her into a hug, “I’ll see you soon.” Luca promised and hugged her tighter before reluctantly letting her go and ticking her hair behind her ear and giving her one more soft smile before walking over to their parents.

“Come here.” Adam opened his arms for his baby sister and hugged her tightly, “Have fun okay. Enjoy this you have earned it.” Adam softly told her rubbing her back and he kissed the top of her head.

They pulled back from each other sharing one more smile with each other before Gemma started walking them out

She leaned on the door watching her family get in the elevator as she waved softly at them. She thought she would be more sad but if anything she’s excited to be living with Macklin.

Gemma watched the elevator doors close, Macklin came up behind her wrapping his arms around and his chin resting on her shoulder as she closed their front door.

Macklin’s family had only left a few minutes before Gemma’s family after they said their goodbyes to Macklin.

“You okay?” Macklin asked her softly kissing her cheek softly.

Gemma nodded slowly, “Yeah i’m okay.” Gemma softly reassured him as her hand rested over his hands. Leaving for Chicago a few years was a lot harder for Gemma but she is use to being away form her family most of the year now, doesn’t mean she doesn’t miss them all the time but she is used to it.

Macklin nodded accepting her answer as he knows what’s she means as Gemma started walking to their couch with Macklin still holding her from behind.

Macklin reluctantly let go of her so they go sit together in the couch and they looked out at the windows of the beautiful view of New Jersey.

Macklin wrapped an arm over her shoulder as Gemma cuddled into his side with her legs draped over his lap and he grabbed the pink throw blanket that was on the couch and threw it over them.

Macklin and Gemma were almost fully moved in already as their family were there to help them unpack and they also don’t have a lot of stuff between them yet.

Macklin thought Gemma had done really well decorating their apartment not that he expected anything else.

Gemma kept it pretty simple in decorations but there are few pink accents decorations that Macklin loves because it reminds him of her.

“We should get flowers when we get groceries later.” Gemma told Macklin as she was looking around the living room, dinning room and kitchen from where she was sitting on the couch and she saw the empty vases that she wanted pink flowers in.

“Whatever you want.” Macklin smiled softly kissing the top of her head, he had already planned to get flowers when they went out later knowing how much Gemma loves to have fresh flowers.

Gemma hummed softly back and closed her eyes letting out a soft sigh as she leaned her head on his chest, “I love you.” Gemma softly whispered to her best friend who is also her boyfriend.

“I love you too my sweet girl.” Macklin softly whispered back rubbing her back gently, “I got you a present.” Macklin grinned as he saw her head look up for her to peak at him.

“What is it?” Gemma asked curiously.

“Let me go get it.” Macklin gently sat up letting go of Gemma and walked to his room real quick and grabbed the small box out of his bag and opened it grabbing the thing in the box and walked back.

“Close your eyes.” Macklin softly told her hiding his hand behind his back. Gemma smiled and closed her eyes.

Macklin sat back down on the couch and moved her hair off her back and gently laid the necklace down on her chest shutting it close. He pressed a kiss to the back of her neck, “Open it.”

Macklin smiled watching as she looked down at the necklace and noticed the charm, a small 17, “Since it’s our number now.” Macklin told her already loving seeing her in their number.

Gemma beamed touching the necklace gently, it was perfect, small enough she could wear it all the time even for hockey, she turned towards him and pressed her lips to his, “Thank you Amore.”

“Always.” Macklin flushed a little red as he smiled at her and kissed her again.

one year

November 21, 2024

Gemma yawned softly as she woke up she frowned waking up with no Macklin next to her because he’s been gone for the past few days and would be gone for a few more as he’s on a long road game trip.

She hated they Macklin was away especially as today was their one year anniversary and they both really wanted to spend it together.

It was kinda okay he wasn’t here because her Mom is town for the Mom’s trip meaning it would’ve been hard to celebrate her anniversary with Macklin anyways.

Gemma smiled as her phone rang for a facetime form Macklin, “Hi.” Gemma smiled brightly her face still smushed against Macklin’s pillow where she was still cuddled under his blankets in his bed.

“Hi my love.” Macklin softly spoke smiling so softly seeing his favorite person all cuddled in his bed and his heart clenched wishing he could be with her right now, “Happy anniversary.”

“Happy anniversary amore mio dolce.” Gemma softly spoke back blowing him a kiss as she smiled watching his cheeks turn pink after she called him his favorite pet name she calls him and a name that never fails to make him blush.

“Hopeeee.” Macklin groaned rubbing his face as he smiled goofily.

Gemma just giggled at his face.

Gemma stayed on facetime with Macklin for over an hour enjoying spending some time with him.

She got out of bed and did her morning routine before throwing on one of Macklin’s hoodies and walking out of his room and saw her Mom cooking a late brunch in her kitchen, “Hi Mama.” Gemma kissed her mom’s cheek and hummed happily looking at what her Mom was cooking.

“Hello Darling.” Julia smiled as Gemma reached across and grabbed a piece of fruit she chopped up and she shook her head fondly having missed Gemma in the kitchen when she is cooking.

Gemma’s brows furrowed when there was a knock on her front door and she walked over opening the door and saw a deliver woman holding a giant bouquet of pink, purples, white and blue flowers.

“Gemma Fantilli?” The woman asked and Gemma nodded making the woman hand her the huge bouquet of flowers.

“Thank you.” Gemma said as she struggled to hold the vase with the bouquet of flowers in her arms with how big it is.

Gemma brought the bouquet through the apartment and set the vase down on the dinning room table, she picked up the card.

Happy one year sweet girl!

Love your Mack

Gemma smiled shaking her head only Macklin would get a bouquet so large that it covered half the table.

“Oh they are beautiful!” Julia exclaimed as she walked into the dinning room holding two plates and looking at the beautiful flower, “He does a good job.” Julia notices every time she is at Gemma’s or even on facetime that there is fresh flowers in her house and they are always from Macklin.

Julia adores how much Macklin loves her daughter and clearly spoils her. She thinks Macklin is perfect for Gemma.

“He always does good.” Gemma fondly agreed brushing her hand across the beautiful flowers.

Gemma texted Macklin a thank you and a picture of the flowers before she ate a late brunch with her Mom and just talked with her Mom for a good while before she had to get up and get dressed for the game.

Gemma picked her purple suit pants knowing it is her Mom’s favorite color and a chunky white sweater with tan boots.

Gemma walked out of Macklin’s room seeing her Mom ready with a sweatshirt with her name and number.

Gemma just smiled and they walked to her front door both grabbing their coats and Gemma put on her tan trench coat before they left her apartment heading to her car.

Gemma drove them the shortish drive to the arena and she pointed out things to her Mom that she likes or goes to as she drove them.

Gemma walked in with her mom and brought her mom to the room where all the other Mom’s and sisters or woman figures would be hanging out before the game, “Bye Mama.” Gemma kissed her cheek before heading to the locker room.

Gemma walked in and noticed a lot of the boys were already there and she knew it was because there Moms or who came with them made them come early.

She raised an eye brow seeing Nate looking at her with a grin and walked by Luke ruffling his curls as she did.

Gemma looked at her stall and saw another bouquet of floweres, a mix of red and blue periwinkles her favorite flowers. She knew he picked the colors for both of their teams.

She looked at the car seeing they were from Macklin again.

Love M <3

Gemma smiled to her self feeling her cheeks warm realizing he somehow got flowers in the locker room on her stall and she picked the vase up glad that it’s a smaller bouquet than the one at home and she put the vase on the shelf above her stall.

“Nope.” Gemma giggled as she saw Dawson open his mouth to ask questions.

“But!” Dawson sputtered out looking confused why he can’t ask because there’s flowers on her stall.

“Nope.” Gemma shook her head still laughing at Dawson and Nate too both pouting that she won’t answer their questions and she sat sat down in her stall.

Nico smiled slightly at her before giving Dawson and Nate a look to be quiet.

Gemma did warms up and then braided her hair with her red ribbons and pinned up her braids making her hair into a braid crown before heading onto the ice for warms up.

She waved as she looked over at the suite with all the Moms and saw her mom sitting with Ellen.

Gemma got the first goal of the game with Jack and Jesper assisting.

Jesper got the next goal with Jack and Gemma assisting.

The first period ended with the Devils leading 2-1.

Stefan scored on power play with Gemma and Jack assisting in the second period.

The third period the Canes scored once more and then Dougie scored.

Jesper scored again on a power player and Jack and Gemma assisted again.

The Devils won against the Canes 5-2.

It was a good way to start the Mom’s trip and Gemma was excited to bring her Mom along with her for the next game on the road.

terrible

November 14, 2024

Gemma was sitting in her stall after the morning practice when her phone started buzzing, she leaned back grabbing her phone knowing she only keeps a few numbers to go through on do not disturb and saw Macklin calling her.

Gemma brought the phone up to ear as she continued to untie her shoe laces, “Hello?” Gemma asked with surprise as Macklin never calls her when she is at practice, he always knows when she has practice and he will check find my iphone if she is done work practice.

“Hope Love how long should i cook a steak?” Macklin nervously question glaring at Will who was sitting at the barstools laughing at him.

Gemma closed her eyes rubbing her forehead, “Please do not tell me you are cooking.” Gemma groaned knowing how much of a disaster Macklin is in the kitchen.

“Okay i won’t tell you.” Macklin quickly rambled out fiddling with his ring nervously as he glanced at the steak in the pan.

Will had convinced Macklin to try and cook a steak knowing it would be funny to watch.

“Are you alone?” Gemma questioned desperately already afraid what her kitchen is gonna look like when she gets home.

“No Smitty is here.” Macklin’s words reassured her slightly but barely.

“Is it already cooking?” Gemma plopped her face in her hands heading the sizzling.

“Maybe..” Macklin sheepishly trailed off with a grimace.

“Okay how long has it been cooking?” Gemma stopped been trying to take off her equipment focusing on the call.

“There minutes.” Macklin quickly answered after looking at the time.

“Okay let it cook for one more minute and flip it over and cook it for four more minutes than take it off heat and let it rest for a few minutes.” Gemma gently explained making Macklin nod on the other side of the phone.

“Got it?” Gemma double checked already scared of what the kitchen will look like when she is home.

Gemma cursed Will knowing he definitely put Macklin up to this because he would find it amusing.

“Got it flip in a minute and four more minutes than take off and let rest.” Macklin quickly repeated the instructions back.

“Good.” Gemma let out a sigh hoping she wouldn’t come to an unrecognizable kitchen.

“And Amore you better not cook anything else in the kitchen while i am gone.” Gemma sternly spoke through the phone, she had seen way too many times Macklin’s disasters in the kitchen.

“Promise.” Macklin quickly promised as he flipped the steak over and realized it was not his smartest idea to listen to Will and try to cook.

“If you destroy my kitchen you are sleeping in your own bed for a week.” Gemma made a deal with a small smile hearing Macklin’s squawk of protest.

“I will not destroy anything and it will be perfectly clean when you get back.” Macklin quickly promised as no way in hell was he not sleeping next to his girl if they are together.

Gemma let out the fondest sigh as she couldn’t even stay annoyed at him, “Okay.”

“I love you.” Macklin softly reminded her smiling and ignoring the look and smirk coming from Will.

“Yeah I love you too.” Gemma lowered her voice speaking quietly and softly through the phone wanting to keep some of her conversation with Macklin private as she is still in the locke room and she is sure half of the boys are listening to her talk.

“Talk to you later.” Macklin promised and Gemma smiled saying her byes before they hung up the call.

Gemma set her phone back in her stall and started to continue to untie her skate laces finally taking her skates off.

“Boyfriend?” Dawson inquired curiously nudging her arm having heard her talking on the phone.

“Mhm.” Gemma hummed as she took her elbow pads off next.

“Did he try to cook again?” Luke asked amused having heard her talk about how to cook a steak, he has heard all of the stories of Macklin trying to cook and it never fails to amuse him.

“Yes.” Gemma groaned feeling slightly annoyed thinking about Macklin trying to cook again, she has seen him make so many mistakes in the kitchen that she didn’t even know what possible, he should he fully banned from the kitchen if he is alone and he definitely shouldn’t be cooking with Will.

“Is he a bad cook?” Brett looked curiously sensing Gemma was a bit annoyed about her boyfriend cooking which was surprising because he’s never really seen her annoyed.

“Terrible.” Gemma bluntly replied and would be feel bad about being harsh but it was true and even Macklin had agreed he is a terrible cook.

“How bad?” Dougie titled his head amused as he took his hockey equipment off.

“He burnt water trying to boil water for pasta.” Gemma answered bluntly with an astonished face still confused how Macklin can make some things happen in the kitchen.

“You can burn water?” Nate’s mouth dropped in shock, he thought he was a bad cook but apparently not as bad as Gemma’s boyfriend.

“I didn’t know you could until he did.” Gemma shook her head remembering walking into the kitchen seeing Macklin had literally burnt water just trying to boil water.

“He’s supposed to be banned from the kitchen.” Gemma explained as she had tried to help Macklin learn how to cook in the kitchen but after so many times she knew it was a lost cause especially after he almost destroyed her kitchen in Boston.

“Well can he at least cook broccoli?” Curtis piped in with a teasing grin making Jack throw his head back groaning.

“Fuck off.” Jack groaned grabbing a roll of tape and tossing it at Curtis, the boys have never let him live it down that he asked how to cook broccoli.

“I can cook broccoli now.” Jack reminded them looking annoyed.

“Jack can and it’s good.” Gemma added with a smile having had Jack’s cooking and she loves it.

“See this is why you’re my favorite G.” Jack smiled at her.

“Bows is everyone’s favorite.” Dawson grinned shrugging nonchalantly.

Gemma smiled shyly.

“Then who is her favorite?” Nate looked around the room trying to decided and looked at Gemma for an answer.

Gemma just shrugged not answering but her eyes slightly flickered over to Luke who just smiled.

youngest

December 6, 2024

Gemma was sitting on the floor in front of Luke’s stall resting her head on Luke’s knee messing with a pen in her hand as she has just been signing stuff before warms ups.

Luke noticed Gemma fidgeting and looking bored and he handed her his glove making her take the glove and look confused, “Go ahead.” Luke gestured to the pen, he knows she likes to doodle on her gloves and stick.

Gemma’s face lite up with a smile and she immediately started doodling on Luke’s glove.

Gemma started doodling flowers across the palm of the glove and towards each finger.

Luke let Gemma doodle on his glove until she needed to get up and start warming up.

Luke smiled looking at his glove as she handed him it to him, it was adorable and very Gemma, “Thanks Emmie.” Luke ruffled her hair softly as she smiled at him.

Gemma and Luke headed out of the locker room to start warming up before the game.

Gemma was skating across the ice skating around the Krakens defender and passed the puck to Luke.

Luke shot the puck and got his first goal of the season.

Gemma beamed and immediately skated over to Luke jumping on him hugging his tightly.

Luke laughed as Gemma gave him a head pat and was beaming at him so proudly.

Gemma has wanted to see Luke score so bad and she was able to assist his first goal of the around.

Luke and Gemma shared a grin and a fist bump before heading back to the bench.

Later in the third period Luke assisted on Gemma’s goal.

The Devils won 3-2 against the Krakens.

Luke ruffled Gemma’s hair after they both showered after the game, “I guess i need your doddles more now.” Luke mused with a fond grin, it seemed like her doddles were good luck.

Gemma grinned at Luke’s words.

“Bows!” Stefan called out walking over to Gemma, “Do you have a second?” Stefan asked seeing Gemma was about to head out.

“Sure.” Gemma nodded.

“My daughter really was hoping she could see you after the game.” Stefan explained to Gemma.

“Oh she wants to see me?” Gemma blinked looking surprised, sure she has met most of the team’s kids so far but she has not gotten closer to any of them or talked more that a few words to any of them.

“She told me to ask you.” Stefan grinned shrugging.

“Sure.” Gemma smiled slightly awkwardly but started following Stefan to the family room.

“She doesn’t go there often does she.” Nico spoke to Luke and Jack just realizing now he’s only seen Gemma in the family room for a few minutes over the past few months.

“She isn’t use to kids.” Luke whispered to Jack and Nico and they followed Gemma and Stefan to the family room. Luke knew Gemma has barely been around kids especially younger ones if they aren’t fans and she doesn’t necessarily know what to do.

“Because she is the youngest?” Nico realized, he was pretty similar as he was the youngest is all of his family growing up and there was never really anyone younger than him.

Luke nodded as they walked through the doors together.

“Leigh!” Stefan called out smiling ad his daughter rushed over to him and he bent down hugging her gently, “There’s someone here for you?”

Leighton gasped seeing Gemma, “Hi!” She beamed as Gemma kneeled down in front of her.

“Hello.” Gemma smiled sweetly and spoke awkwardly speaking, she felt out of her comfort zone and didn’t know what she was supposed to be doing. She was a bit better with kids a few years old but she had no idea what to do with babies.

“Mom said i can get your jersey.” Leighton beamed making Stefan sigh and shake his head fondly.

“You want to wear my jersey?” Gemma looked shocked but touched.

“Of course you’re the coolest on the team.” Leighton giggled as Stefan playfully gasped.

“Why don’t i help your Dad get the jersey for you?” Gemma offered giving Stefan a small look as she had a plan for the jersey and Stefan nodded smiling seeing how well Gemma was doing with his daughter even if she was being awkward.

“Really!” Leighton gasped and clapped her hands happily as Gemma nodded.

“I made something for you.” Leighton pulled out something from her tiny little purse and handed it to Gemma.

Gemma delicately took and saw it was a beaded bracelet that had red and white beads and her name spelled out with red bow charms, “Woah this is so pretty thank you Leighton.” Gemma softly spoke to the younger girl making Leighton perk up happily.

“We match!” Leighton held up her arm that was covered in hand made bracelets and a lot of them had things for Gemma.

“We do. They are very pretty.” Gemma softly spoke feeling a bit more comfortable talking to the child.

Eventually Stefan had to take Leighton away to head home and Gemma waved bye.

She was standing with Nico, Luke and Jack talking with Jacob and his wife Amanda when she felt something tap her leg and she looked down seeing Jacob’s one year old son Clark holding two mini sticks and looking up at her.

Gemma’s eyes widened in worry she had no idea what the baby wanted, Gemma looked at Jacob for help.

“He wants to play mini stick with you.” Jacob explained with a fond smile. He’s realized Gemma doesn’t really know what to do with kids.

“Uh okay.” Gemma slowly nodded and walked a few steps following Clarke and she sat down.

“Ba.” Clark babbled as he handed her a stick making her nod at him.

Clark backed up and hit the ball at her and Gemma softly hit it back at Clark. She felt a bit more comfortable with the baby playing mini sticks with him.

It was adorable seeing Gemma playing with Clark and it was a soft reminder to the ones in the room that Gemma has only been officially been an adult for a few months, she’s still incredibly young.

Clark was babbling to Gemma as they played and it seems to make her more comfortable with him.

family skate

December 15, 2024

Gemma laughed at something Luca said as she drove them to the prudential center for her family skate.

Luca had just finished school up for the semester and came up to New Jersey with some friends but he was staying with Gemma and he was joining her family skate and than heading to Columbus in a couple days for the Devils at Blue Jacket game.

Gemma was glad Luca is staying with her for a few days because Macklin left for a road trip last night so it would be nice to have someone stay with her.

Gemma pulled her into parking spot and hopped out of her car. Gemma was wearing a white sweater, blue dark wash jeans and red adidas that match the red bow in her hair that was holding her hair in a half up half down.

She grabbed two red bags from the back of her car and walked into the arena with Luca following her.

They walked into the locker room seeing a lot of players already and a few kids running around.

Gemma walked Luca to Luke before heading over to Stefan and his wife and two kids.

“Gemma!” Little Leighton beamed from where she was sitting on her Dad’s stall and was hugging gingerbread stuffed animal.

“Hi Leighton.” Gemma smiled slightly awkwardly waving softly, “Hi Liam.” She spoke softer having not really met the one year old boy yet.

“I have a present for both of them if that’s okay?” Gemma asked checking with Stefan and Alyson, Alyson quickly nodded with a fond smile and Stefan nodded too.

Gemma put the smaller back in front of Liam and she sat the set the bigger bag in front of Leighton. She wasn’t sure what to get Liam but she didn’t want to get Leighton something and not Liam.

Leighton opened her gift quickly and gasped loudly when she pulled out a little red Devils Gemma Jersey, “It’s yours!” She giggled softly making Gemma smile.

Leighton pulled out the last thing a little red bow, “We match!” Leighton beamed and she immediately handed it to her mom to put in her hair.

Stefan helped Liam pull out his present and there was a Devil beanie and a cute little teddy bear stuff animal and Liam immediately cuddled with the bear.

“Thank you.” Alyson softly said to Gemma, Gemma was beyond sweet to her kids.

Gemma smiled and nodded and she waved bye to the two kids before heading to the stall seeing Luca happily chatting with Jack, Luke and Nico. The three didn’t have any family at the family skate as Nico’s family was so far and Jack and Luke are family.

Gemma sat down on her stall talking witty the four boys when Jesper and Nicole came over and Nicole asked Gemma, “How was the Jingle ball?” Jesper had told Nicole Gemma went and Gemma posted a story.

Gemma immediately smiled more, She went two days ago to the Jingle ball purely because of Gracie Abram was performing but it really was fun, “Oh it was amazing!” Gemma gushed she had the best time.

The tickets were an anniversary present from Macklin and they went together and stayed in a suite so no one saw them.

“That’s great! Who did you go with?” Nicole asked with genuinely curiousness.

“Oh my boyfriend.“ Gemma answered with pink cheeks but a proud smile. Luca looked at his sister fondly, he is glad to see how comfortable she is with the Devils, “It was for our anniversary.” Gemma told Nicole, Gemma fully trusts Jesper meaning she trusts Nicole.

“Oh Congratulations. How long have you been together.” Nicole asked kindly with a gentle smile.

“We just celebrate a year.” Gemma easily replied.

“After crushing on each other for almost two years.” Luca playfully coughed teasing his sister.

“Oh it was so long.” Luke immediately groaned remembering hearing so much about Macklin from Gemma.

“Really.” Gemma deadpanned the two, Luca, Adam and Luke always tease her about her long crush on Macklin.

Luca and Luke both just grinned.

“Put your skates one.” Gemma sassed her older brother making Nico, Jack and Jesper just start laughing because it is so rare to hear Gemma sassy.

Luca put his hands up and did what she asked.

Soon they were all out on the ice and the Fantilli siblings stayed close with the Hughes and Nico.

Gemma just shook her head seeing Luca and Luke messing around with each other the second they both got a hockey stick.

They just skated around for a couple hours until they all eventually got off the ice.

Nico and the Hughes were coming over to Gemma’s for dinner and Nico offered to pick up take out for them so Gemma didn’t have to cook.

Gemma and Luke got to her apartment first and she changed her jeans for a pair of Macklin’s sweatpants and put on the Rangers game that was about to start.

Luke and Jack got their next and they both got comfortable on the couch and a few minutes later Nico knocked on the door and Gemma got up.

She opened the door seeing Nico holding a giant bag of food and she grabbed it from him and headed towards the kitchen.

Gemma didn’t notice Nico leaning down and grabbing something that was left on her doormat.

Gemma opened the bag taking boxes out of the counter as Jack, Luke and Luca all came into the kitchen and Luke grabbed plates.

Nico walked in with a bouquet of blue and red daises, “Flowers for Gemma?” Nico said with a small teasing smile.

Gemma turned around and her cheeks warmed knowing who the flowers were from, she gently took the bouquet and smiled reading then note from Macklin.

“Shush.” Gemma mumbled knowing all the boys were waiting to say something and she set her flowers on the counter and grabbed a plate for food.

The boys listened to her and they all got plates of food and sat around Gemma’s couch as the Rangers at St. Louis game.

Gemma was cuddled under her blankets lying on Luca’s shoulder by the time the third period came out around. The game was tied 2-2.

Gemma paused watching Macklin join a scuffle and she sat up seeing Macklin genuinely scuffling with another player and his helmet got knocked off and he brought the player to the ice.

Gemma coughed clearing her throat seeing Macklin looking annoyed and running a hand through his hair and being guided to the penalty box, she could not have these thoughts when she is near her brother and three boys who are like her brother.

“You good over there Emmie?” Luke asked with a teasing smirk seeing her red cheeks and how she was looking at the TV.

“Shut up.” Gemma just mumbled hiding her face in her blanket.

wjc

December 26, 2023

Gemma narrowed her eyes as her fingers tighten around her stick and she got ready for the puck to drop.

It was the first real game of the World Junior’s and her first game ever in the WJC. Gemma had a feeling her team was going to do well in this tournament, the team is just clicking and more than half of the team have all played together before.

The first game of the tournament US were playing against Norway.

Gemma let out a breath and her eyes snapped to the puck quickly taking it from the Norway player and the start of her playing in a WJC had started.

No one scored the first period but half way through the second period Seamus passed the puck across the ice to Gemma and she quickly shot it into the net. Getting the first goal of the game and her first of the tournament.

Only a few minutes later she had the puck on her stick and she quickly flicked it back to Gavin who scored off her pass.

During her last shift of the second period she had the puck again and she went to the goal and faked a shot passing back to Gavin who scored his second goal of the game.

Norway finals managed to score in the third period but couldn’t catch up especially as Cutter passed a puck to Gemma and she smacked it into the goal.

USA won their first game 4-1.

Gemma had two goals and two assist in her first game.

Gemma smiled slightly as she checked her phone after the game seeing Macklin’s texts that he spammed her with as he watched her game after his game, she had just celebrated her one month with Macklin.

December 27, 2024

Gemma didn’t have a game the next day so she spent most of the beginning part of the day exploring Sweden with the boys before she headed back to her hotel room wanting to watch the Latvia vs Canada game.

Gemma watched as Macklin got a goal and four assist in the game as Canada won 10-0.

Luckily for Gemma her team was out for most of the night so she was able to facetime Macklin for a little bit before Cutter got back to their room.

December 28, 2023

The second game she played was against Switzerland.

Gemma had the puck right in the beginning of the period and passed it back to Gabe who quickly brought the puck to Will and Will scored the first goal of the game.

By the end of the first period Gemma had scored three times in under nine minutes, multiple of her teammates assisting on all of her goals.

Zeev scored the last goal of the period with Gemma and Cutter assisting. It was 5-1.

Gavin scored in the second and Gemma assisted with Seamus for Ryan’s goal. Gavin scored again in the second and Issac quickly scored after. The second period ended 9-1.

Jimmy scored the last two goals for US and Switzerland managed to score two more goals at the end but US won 11-3.

Gemma had three goals and three assists.

December 29, 2023

US played the next day against Czech.

Gemma got the first goal of the game in the first minute of the period with Rutger assisting.

Czech managed to score a goal in the first too.

Czech scored the next goal in the second.

US had a power played and it was a BC power played without Cutter but Gemma and Ryan got the assists for Will’s goal and Gabe has passed the puck to Ryan.

The game was now tied back up.

Czech and US both scored another goal back to back.

No one scored in the third and the score was still tied so they went to OT.

There was thirteen player who went through the shootout and still no one had won yet.

Gemma was up next and she took the puck up the ice barely glancing up went she faked the puck up before tossing it between the goalies legs and making US win.

Gemma laughed as her team jumped on her hugging her and giving her head pats.

Gemma got another two goals and an assist.

December 30, 2023

Gemma didn’t have a game today and she managed to sneak off away from her teammates and walked five minutes to a cafe where she was meeting Macklin.

Macklin and Gemma have only been playing the minutes away from each other but have had no time to be able to see each other.

“There she is.” Macklin immediately smiled game he looked up and saw Gemma walking to him where he was waiting in front of the cafe.

Gemma giggled as Macklin immediately hugged her and spun her around beside setting her down gently and kissing her gently.

Gemma smiled softly and kissed her boyfriend back.

Gemma spent most of the day with Macklin just walking around Sweden and buying little things together and enjoying time together.

No one noticed where she was and Cutter only raised an eyebrow when she came back to their room but he smiled slightly seeing how happy she looked.

US won 10-2.

Gemma had three goals and two assists.

She was easily leading the WJC with most points, goals and assists.

It was also New Year’s eve meaning all the teams were all going out to celebrate and Gemma got lucky with where her team was celebrating because Team Canada showed up at the same place to celebrate.

Gemma shared small smiles across the room with Macklin for most of the night before it got closer to midnight and she made eye contact with Macklin before sneaking off to the balcony that was alone.

Gemma giggled as she felt arms wrap around her and a kiss pressed to her neck knowing exactly who it was. She spun around in his arms looking up at a smiling Macklin.

She could heard the countdown to New years, “Happy New years Macky.”

“Happy new year.” Macklin softly whispered back hoping they will still be together for many more new years. Gemma smiled softly as he leaned down and they shared a new years kiss, both of their first new years kiss.

January 2, 2024

Gemma had two goals and two assists.

US was going to the Semi Finals.

January 4, 2024

Gemma was excited to get into the semi finals but she was a bit sad as she said bye to Macklin yesterday as he is heading home. It’s also makes her a bit sad seeing all of her team with their family and she doesn’t have any of her family here for her. The only slightly positive thing about Canada going home is she won’t have to play against Mack in a tournament that is so important.

Gemma just shook her head trying to not focus on everything going on in head and focus on only hockey. She tied her lucky red ribbons in her hair and headed to the ice for the game against Finland.

The first period US played horrible and Finland scored two goals.

Gemma came out in the second period and scored a goal immediately all on her own and she skated across the ice and around all the Finland players to get the goal.

Her goal started the momentum and Will scored next with Gabe and Gemma assisting.

Gemma scored her second goal in the last few minutes of the third period.

She was immediately jumped on by her teammates as she scored the game winning goal.

US won 3-2.

Gemma had two goals and an assist.

They were going to the gold medal game.

January 5, 2024

Gemma was vibrating with energy ready to play in the goal medal game. She put her hair in her lucky two french braids with her red ribbons.

Immediately she noticed how tough Sweden was playing and while she was annoyed she was not surprised she was getting targeted by the players.

She did break the record for all time points in a WJC ever and it makes sense why the Sweden team is targeting her but it is annoying her.

Gemma grunted as she was hit again but managed to pass the puck to Gabe who quickly took the shot and got the first goal of the game.

The second period started and Sweden scored a goal.

Gemma grunted again as she was slammed again, she was starting to get frustrated.

Gemma felt her feet get knocked out by the other player stick as she had the puck on her stick but she still managed to toss the puck off her stick right before she hit the ice and the puck went right into the goal.

Gemma laughed a shocked laugh that she managed to score a goal after falling and she turned off her stomach laying on her back as she couldn’t get up as she looked up seeing the furious Sweden player standing over her and she couldn’t help but grin. The player narrowed his eyes at her and went to do something when he was knocked over by Ryan and off of Gemma.

Ryan narrowed his eyes protectively as he stood in front of Gemma as she got up and he dared the Sweden player to do something.

Isaac got the next goal and Sweden got one more goal before the period ended.

Gemma groaned as she just got crossed checked in the chest and her chin got whacked making her start bleeding. She brought her glove up covering her chin and narrowed her eyes seeing the smugness coming off the Sweden player before Ryan hip checked the player away.

Gemma quickly let the trainers check her and it was luckily just a cut under her chin and she just got it quickly glued.

Gemma hoped over the board for her next shift and she knew she was going to score on this shift.

Gemma smirked slightly as she easily skated by the player who cross checked her and hit a snipe shot right into the top corner.

Gemma actually did a celly for once and she took a bow as she skated by the Sweden bench inspired by Luke.

Ryan was laughing and immediately gave her a high five loving her riling up the other team, it was rare to see Gemma sassy or annoyed and he always found it very amusing.

Ryan got the next goal with an assist from Gemma and he blew a kiss to the Sweden team.

Gemma wiped her chin with her glove feeling the cut opening up a bit again but ignored it as there was under a minute left.

Rutger scored the next goal making the game 6-2.

Gemma was sitting on the bench and watched as Lane got shoved and a fight started and Lane didn’t back down at all.

Gemma laughed sharing a look with a laughing Ryan making Gabe and Will shake their heads fondly.

Gemma got on the ice for the last few seconds of the third period, she got the puck and shot it across the ice towards the empty net. Getting her third goal of the game, third hat trick of the tournament and US had officially won 7-3.

Winning the goal medal.

Gemma screamed and immediately was hugging her teammates as her gloves and helmet were tossed.

Gemma was squished in between Ryan, Gabe and Will hug beside she eventually hugged all her teammates a million times.

She screamed so much and sung the national anthem so loud with her team.

Gemma was full of wide smiles the entire night and barely even stopped smiling even when she had to get her chin stitched up.

Gemma received MVP of the 2024 WJC with seventeen goals and fourteen assists. She broke so many records in WJC history and got double the amount of most goals ever scored in a WJC tournament before.

She just played some of her best games of her life.

fancy

November 24, 2024

Gemma sleepily leaned into a warm touch on her cheek and her eyes fluttered open seeing a smiling Macklin sitting on the bed cupping her cheek.

“Mack.” Gemma mumbled sitting up sleepily wnd immediately falling into Macklin feeling his chest rumbling as he laughed fondly.

“Hi my sweet girl.” Macklin fondly spoke wrapping his arms around her and stroking her hair and leaning down pressing a kiss to the top of her head.

Macklin leaned his cheek on top of her head closing his eyes enjoying having his girl in his arms again.

“I missed you.” Gemma mumbled sleepily pressing a kiss to Macklin’s chest feeling her eyes fluttering shut.

“I missed you.” Macklin mumbled just as softly back and could feel her body relaxing and knew she was gonna fall asleep.

Macklin shifted them so he laying on his back and Gemma was mostly laying on his stomach as he rubbed her back and kissed her head before closing his eyes too.

Macklin could use some cuddling and a nap with his Gemma.

Gemma stirred a few hours later her whole body extremely comfortable and warm, she hummed and she cuddled closer to her pillow before her eyes opened remembering Macklin got home and she was cuddling with him.

She lifted her head smiling lovingly seeing Macklin’s peaceful face and she admired him leaning closer and nudging her nose against his cheek making him twitch and his lips turned up slightly.

Gemma pressed a kiss to Macklin’s cheek making him smile completely and open up his eyes looking down at her seeing Gemma starring at him already.

“Morning pretty girl.” Macklin mumbled his voice raspy and he smiled even more as Gemma leaned up ana pressed a kiss to his lips mumbling a good morning.

Macklin smiled happily as he kept his lips pressed against hers as he flipped them around with Gemma now on her back.

After they spent some time together and took a shower they both got dressed in comfortable clothes.

Macklin was pressing kisses to Gemma’s neck and shoulder as he brushed out her wet hair for her making her giggle softy at the ticklish feeling.

Macklin finished brushing her hair and they headed to their kitchen together and Gemma paused seeing a beautiful bouquet of roses sitting on the kitchen counter and a package of her favorite frosted cookies.

“When did you?” Gemma looked at Macklin confused as he only came home this morning.

“I stopped on the way back.” Macklin nonchalantly replied, he had gotten back in New york early this morning and stopped by the store for Gemma.

Gemma shook her head fondly and pressed a kiss on his cheek.

Macklin started making them coffees as that is about all Gemma lets him do in the kitchen as she made a quick egg scramble that they both love.

Macklin set their coffees at the bars stools and grabbed plates for Gemma to put their breakfast on.

Gemma and Macklin sat down at their barstools and just rambled with each other as they ate breakfast or really a late brunch because it was already past noon.

Macklin gave her a look when she tried to help get the dishes and he brought their dishes to the sink washing them as Gemma stayed at the barstool.

Macklin walked back to her and rested his chin on her shoulder, “I have a present for you.” Macklin whispered pressing a kiss to her neck. They were apart for their one year anniversary so they both still had a present to give each other.

“I have a present for you too.” Gemma whispered back smiling as she got up and walked down the hallway grabbing a large bag from her closest and saw Macklin had a small bag in his hand.

“You go first.” Gemma encouraged as they sat down next to each other on their couch.

Macklin slowly pulled something out of the bag and made a shocked sound as he looked at the present, it was a large painted canvas and the painting was both of them in their own team jersey’s on the ice.

“This is awesome.” Macklin grinned at the painting, it was so cool, “Thanks baby.” Macklin pressed a kiss to her cheek.

Gemma smiled glad Macklin liked it.

Macklin handed her the little bag and she opened it and froze, “No way.” Gemma squealed softly and jumped onto Macklin hugging, “Thank you thank you thank you.” Gemma kissed all over Macklin’s face making him blush and laugh.

Macklin got her Gracie Abrams tickets in a few weeks. Macklin has know for years Gemma’s two favorite artists is Taylor Swift and Gracie Abrams and they had already went to the Era’s Tour and saw Gracie opening. So he knew Gemma would be so happy to see Gracie in concert.

“And we have dinner reservations tonight.” Macklin told her once she got back up and stopped thanking him. He was making sure Gemma got treated the way she deserves.

“Fancy?” Gemma titled her head curiously.

“Of course.” Macklin scoffed playfully making her giggle.

After that they just cuddled together on the couch and got caught up with their shows until they had to get up and get ready for dinner.

Macklin looked at the time and knew Gemma would want to get up now to get ready and he shifted his arms under her and stood up off the couch with her in his arms making her squeal with laughter and clung to him making him smile and kiss her cheek as he carried her to her room.

Macklin set Gemma down on the stool in front of her vanity in her bathroom and pressed a kiss on her head, “Can i stay?” Macklin hopefully asked as if Gemma would ever say no.

“Always.” Gemma smiled fondly as Macklin just plopped down on the floor and she ran a hand across his hair as he rested his cheek on her thigh looking at her.

Whenever they are both together when she is getting ready Macklin always wants to sit next to her and on the floor even if she offered a chair or even a pillow for him to sit on he just sits on the floor.

Gemma did a little bit of makeup enjoying the rare times she is able to do her makeup and did a few lite curls on her hair.

Macklin stood up once she finished her hair and leaned down kissing her forehead before heading to his room to get dressed and ready.

Gemma added her bracelet that Macklin got her with a little heart charm and a few vintage rings with her everyday little sliver hoops and her 17 necklace.

Gemma went into her closet looking at her more fancy dresses and pulled out a dress one of her newest dresses that she hasn’t worn yet and put it on. It was all purple silk and was simple dress down to her ankles with no sleeves and an open back. She knew Macklin would love the color.

Gemma slipped a pair of black pointy toe heels and grabbed her phone walking out of her room seeing Macklin waiting by the front door.

Macklin looked up and froze his jaw dropping, Gemma slowly walked over to him admiring his gray dress pants and black buttons down long sleeve shirt with black dress shoes.

Gemma smiled at Macklin freezing and watched as he shook his head smiling, “Gemma you look stunning.” Purple is one of his favorite colors on her.

Gemma flushed at his praise as her hands rested on his chest and looked up at him.

“Beautiful.” Macklin mumbled with an admiring smile with his hands resting on her waist.

“You look handsome.” Gemma softly brushed her hand across his brushed hair.

Macklin smiled and turned around grabbing her black trench coat knowing that is the jacket she will want with her dress.

Macklin helped her put her jacket on and she handed him her phone and he slipped it into his pocket before putting on his own black jacket.

Macklin offered her his arm and smiled and linked her arm with his as they walked out of their apartment to head to their one year anniversary date.

Gemma rested her head on his shoulder smiling contently.

mom trip

November 22, 2024

Gemma was eating a bowl of yogurt with fruit and granola texting Macklin as she waited for her mom to finish packing up her suitcase for the road game.

“Ready?” Gemma asked washing her bowl as her mom came walking in with her suitcase and purse.

Julia nodded and grabbed her jacket putting it on.

Gemma grabbed her tiny suitcase and backpack and her keys by the front door and they headed to her car and she drove them to the rink.

Gemma grabbed both of their suitcases and tossed her backpack on and her mom followed her into the arena.

Gemma set the suitcases on a cart that goes to the bus seeing a few other suitcases there and brought her mom to the locker room.

More than half of the body were in the room already with their mom or sister and Gemma brought her mom to her stall.

Julia smiled raising an eyebrow at Gemma seeing flowers above her stall, “Are they from Mack?” Julia asked in Italian with a small teasing smile.

“Yes Mama.” Gemma smiled looking down as she replied in Italian.

Gemma smiled seeing Nico’s mom, Gemma had met Katja yesterday and she easily saw where Nico got his kindness and calmness from.

Katja started talking kindly to Gemma when Gemma sat down next to her as Nico was standing in front of her and Julia sat down next to her daughter.

Nico smiled slightly seeing how much his mom already likes Gemma and he thought it was adorable how much Gemma already likes his mom and they are talking to each other very contently.

The media team went around taking photos of the Devils and their person before the players all headed onto the ice for practice and took a team photo with the moms and sisters before they had practice.

All of the Devils finished practice and got cleaned up before everyone headed to the bus to take them to the airport.

Gemma sat down on the isle seat with her mom at the window seat, they sat at the card table with Nico and his mom in front of her and Luke and Jack with their mom and aunt right across the isle from Gemma.

Gemma just happily chatted with Luke, Jack and Nico and their moms through out the flight.

She laughed way too hard at all the stories Ellen and Katja have of the boys and her mom did share a few of her so it was fair.

The flight wasn’t long and they landed in Washington and got off the plane heading straight to the bus that headed straight to the hotel.

Gemma rolled her suitcase as she headed up to her room with her mom and she walked in and set her bags down before hopping onto the bed immediately making Julia just shake her head fondly because some parts of Gemma will never change.

Gemma went on her phone for good while just texting Macklin and her brothers as Julia laid down on the other bed and read some of her book.

They both just relaxed for a good while before they had to get up and get ready for dinner. The Devils organization organized a fancier dinner for the Mom trip.

Gemma sat at the desk and let her mom curl her hair knowing she doesn’t get a lot of moments with her Mom anymore.

Gemma did her makeup lightly while her mom did her hair.

Gemma smiled softly at her Mom as she stood up once Julia finished her hair and grabbed her outfit herself to the bathroom letting her Mom get ready.

Gemma really loves wearing dresses but she doesn’t get a lot of opportunities to wear them so she takes all the chances she get.

She had an all black long flowly sleeves and down to her ankles black dress with an open back.

Gemma fixed her 17 necklace and slipped on one of her favorite bracelets that belonged to her late grandmother and a pair of small gold hoops Adam got for her last birthday.

Gemma came out do the bathroom and let her mom go in and change and she sat on the bed and boot on a pair of black boots and took a picture in the mirror sending it Macklin.

She was immediately spammed with text messages.

Macky <3

HOPE

OH

MY GOD

YOU LOOK

AHAJAGSUSVSSUSNSHSHSBSHS

GORGEOUS

PRETTY

you had to wear one of my favorite dress when i’m not with you :(((((((((

my prettiest girl

Gemma felt her cheeks burn as she smiled at Macklin’s texts and quickly responded to him.

She put her phone in her purse when her mom came out and they both grabbed their jackets and headed out of their room and met with the team down in the lobby.

Nico smiled gently at his youngest teammate seeing her look very pretty, “You look amazing Gem.” Nico complimented his rookie making her smile.

“He’s right.” Jack nodded in agreement smiling at Gemma.

Luke tossed an arm over Gemma’s shoulder pulling her close to him, “Did Mack see the dress?” Luke whispered with a teasing smirk.

Gemma blushed smiling shyly making Luke laugh immediately knowing Macklin definitely liked it.

Julia smiled fondly it’s been wonderful seeing how well Gemma fits in with the team but also how much the boys all love her but respect her.

Ellen smiled she remembered the first time she heard about Gemma and it was Luke who was talking a lot about meeting Gemma and how adorable she was. She has seen how Gemma has become a little sister to Luke and someone Luke really looks after. She watched how Gemma met Quinn and Jack and became just as important to those two.

Ellen was grateful for Gemma because Gemma has given her boys a sister.

Katja heard so much about Gemma from Nico once he met Gemma but she also watched the draft with Nico and saw how excited Nico was to have Gemma on his team. Katja was proud of how respectful and protective Nico is of Gemma.

The Hughes, Hischier’s and Fantili’s all sat together at one table for dinner and had an amazing dinner.

November 23, 2024

Gemma spent the morning in some video meetings with her team as her Mom was with the other moms taking a tour around DC.

Gemma headed to the arena with her team and got ready for the game against the Capitals.

Gemma just did a simple french braid with her red ribbons tied in a bow on the end of her braid before heading onto the ice for the game.

The Devils beat the capitals 3-2. Gemma had one assist.

Gemma showered after the game and met with her mom outside of the locker room. The team was flying back tonight and her mom would be staying at the airport in New Jersey heading back home to Toronto.

Gemma wasn’t to sad saying bye to her Mom because she would see her family in a week for Thanksgiving and when she plays at Detroit.

What Gemma was excited for was seeing Macklin tomorrow because he is coming home.

sobs

April 14, 2024

Gemma let out a shuttering breath as the buzzer rung, echoing with the cheers of the Denver team and fans. Her jaw wobbled and her eyes quickly filled with tears, she sniffles desperately and wiped her eyes roughly, she turned to right and saw a just as devastated Gabe.

Gabe turned around and saw Gemma’s beautiful bright eyes now extremely dim and glassy with tears, he stepped forward and pulled her into a tight hug. Gemma felt her shoulders shaking with sobs that she was trying to hold in but the second her head hit Gabe’s chest her sobs were let out and muffled against his chest.

Gabe’s tears were silently falling down his face as he held on to Gemma just as tightly as she held on to him.

Ryan and Will skated over slow and sadly to a hugging Gabe and Gemma and Ryan quickly wrapped his arms around the back of Gemma and rested his chin on her shoulder and Will wrapped his arms around Ryan and Gabe’s shoulders.

Gemma just continued to softly sob against on to Gabe’s chest, she was getting drafted in the summer and this was most likely her last game with Boston College as she was most likely going straight into the NHL.

Yesterday was one of the best days of her whole year, she won the Hobey Baker Award in her freshman year just like her brother Adam, and she got to spend the day with her brothers, her boyfriend and parents all together. She hasn’t spent a day with her brothers and parents in months.

Sadly Macklin and Luca both had to go back to their schools with their teams and Adam had to get back to Columbus.

She still had her parents at the game but right now she was really wishing she could get off the ice and go into her boyfriend’s arms. Macklin always has made her feel better when she’s sad.

Gemma harshly rubbed her face and pulled away from the hug, she walked away from the boys keeping her eyes downcast as she skated off the ice and walked down the tunnel.

She walked into the locker room and plopped down onto her stall and just fiddled with her hands sniffling.

Eamon walked in and felt his heart clench even more seeing how devastated Gemma looked, he walked over and sat down on his stall that’s always been next to hers, he wrapped his arms around her and pressed a soft kiss to the top of head.

Gemma just turned her head against his chest and kept her head hidden in his chest as the rest of the team walked in.

[toasttt11]

reunited

December 14, 2023

Gemma grabbed all of bags off the airport conveyer belt, she had just landed in Toronto being home for two days.

Gemma originally was suppose to be on a plane right now on the way to Sweden and she wasn’t going to be able to make it to the Blue Jackets at The Leafs game to be able to see Adam playing in the NHL at their home stadium.

Gemma luckily asked her coach if she could come two days later and be able to watch her brother play in the NHL for the first time.

Obviously she got the okay and immediately booked her ticket to come home and she contacted the Blue Jackets media team to keep her ticket that Adam had originally gotten for her and made sure no one knew she was coming to see him play.

Gemma got an uber to her child hood home and carried all of her bags up into her room and luckily for her, her family had already left for the game. Gemma quickly put on a pair of black skinny jeans, a blue hoodie with Adam’s jersey over and slipped a pair of black converse on.

Gemma called for a cab to take her to the stadium. She paid the fee and walked up to the stadium through the crowds of people, she scanned her ticket and headed to her section and she smiled seeing many people that she knows in the section and saw her parents, Luca and Nick sitting in a row and a seat empty next to her dad.

She walked down the the stairs quietly not catching anyone’s attention and walked into the row her ticket was at, “Is this seat taken?” Gemma softly questioned making her parents and Luca heads all snap up to her.

“Gems!” Her dad happily exclaimed pulling his only daughter in a tight hug.

“Hi Dad.” Gemma giggled and hugged him back before letting go and hugging her mother tightly.

“My Gem.” Her mother happily cooed as she held her youngest in her arms before letting her go to Luca.

“Hi Lu.” Gemma smiled widely at her big brother, Luca smiled shaking his head in disbelief pulling his baby sister into a tight hug.

“I missed you.” Luca whispered into his sister’s ear, truthfully this year was weird for Luca being completely alone without either of his siblings for the first time in his life.

“I missed you too.” Gemma whispered back hugging him tighter.

Luca reluctantly let her go letting her go hug Nick, “Hi Nicky.” Gemma smiled and hugged her past teammate.

“Hi little Fants.” Nick smiled hugging her back.

Gemma stepped back after the hug seeing her parents scoot down a seat so she could sit between Luca and her mom, Gemma smiled softer at them and sat down having her mother immediately hold her hand.

“I thought you were heading to Sweden right now.” Julia softly questioned her daughter, knowing that her husband and her were planning to join their daughter with Luca coming with after Christmas.

“I was but Coach let me come two days later so i could come to the game.” Gemma explained to her family, squeezing her mother’s hand back.

“We’re glad you’re here.” Giuliano smiled softly at his young daughter, Gemma sent him a smile back.

Gemma smiled cheering as she saw Adam get into the ice for warmups, she smiled at her brother when she noticed Adam seeing her and she waved softly to her brother as Adam shook his head in disbelief smiling widely and waving back at his sister.

The Blue Jackets won 6-5.

Adam got dressed after the game and hurried to the section where his family and friends were all at, he smiled as he walked up the stairs in shock seeing so many people that ending up coming to support him.

He hugged both his parents, Luca and Nick and saw Gemma waiting patiently and Adam tackled her into a tight hug.

“Hi.” Adam voice cracked slightly, Adam has been able to see Luca and his parents more than he has seen Gemma and he hasn’t seen her since she went back to school months ago and it was the longest they have gone with out seeing each other.

“Hi.” Gemma whispered out hugging her brother just as tightly back hating that they haven’t seen each other in so long.

They pulled apart and shared a look and they both grabbed one of Luca’s arm pulling him into a hug, the three all let out an identical sighs as they were all reunited again and all together.

Giuliano and Julia shared a soft look enjoying seeing their kids all together again.

[toasttt11]

drafted

June 28, 2024

Gemma looked in the mirror once more fixing her locket around her neck once more, the locket her grandmother had given her.

Gemma stepped out of the bathroom seeing her family waiting for her, she did a little spin.

She was wearing a burgundy suit with a black long sleeve underneath, black high heals, all of her jewelry was pieces from her grandmother. Gemma also picked the exact color as Adam’s Draft day suit for her suit. She also got the people that are important to her, their initials embroidered on the inside of her cuff.

“You look absolutely beautiful.” Julia tearfully smiled at her daughter, Giuliano smiled with tears in his eyes at his daughter, they both knew they would be many tears from them by the end of the day.

Gemma smiled softly at her parents and she turned to Luca and Adam, Adam smiled standing up and walking over to her and gently grabbing his sister hand and twirling her around making her giggle softly.

“You look very beautiful Gemmy.” Luca smiled telling his sister after Adam stop spinning her around.

“Thank you!” Gemma smiled before hearing a knock on the door and she knew the cameras were coming in.

Gemma got through all of the media and before she even knew she was already walking across the red carpet that leads into the sphere, she smiled as she signed stuff for the people and took pictures with them, Gemma let out a few laughs as she talked with some of the people she met.

Gemma walked over to her seats with her family and she sat between her brothers and her parents on the other side of Adam.

Gemma looked over seeing Macklin in the row right across from her and she sent him a smile and nod, Macklin sent a smile and nod back.

“The New Jersey Devils are on the clock.” Gemma was looking right ahead focusing on absolutely nothing making sure to keep her face completely blank, the representative for the Devils walked up the to the stage with the group of people and walked up to the microphone.

“The New Jersey Devils are proud to select from Boston College, Gemma Fantilli.” It was eerie silent as he said everything up to Boston and once he said College the cheers started as everyone knew who was picked.

Macklin smiled widely and clapped for his best friend and girlfriend, he knew she truthfully should always have been going first and he thought the only reason it was entertained with the idea of her not going first was because she was a girl, he couldn’t be more proud watching her accomplish her dreams despite anyone that has ever tried to stop her.

Gemma let out a shocked laugh but stood up and immediately both her brothers wrapped their arms around her from both sides and pulled her into a tight hug.

“I’m so proud of you Gemmy, You deserve this.” Luca whispered proudly smiling for his sister.

“Go enjoy your moment.” Adam whispered to his little sister feeling his eyes fill with proud tears, now he understood how Luca felt last draft year.

“Thank you.” Gemma whispered to her brothers and her biggest role models, she walked over to her parents.

Gemma smiled getting pulled into a tight hug from her dad.

“I’m so so proud to you.” Giuliano emotionally choked out feeling his tears fall down his face, he pressed a soft and long kiss to her to her cheek.

Julia watery smiled at her daughter and pulled her into a hug, She pressed a kiss to the side of Gemma’s head and let her go.

Gemma smiled at her mother and pulled off her suit jacket and handed it to her mother. Gemma saw Macklin already standing up at his row and she walked right to him hugging him softly.

“Good Job Hopey.” Macklin whispered so soft that the microphones barely picked it up. He gave her one more soft squeeze before letting her go.

Gemma started her walk down the stairs shaking a few hands and giving fist bumps to friends of hers.

Gemma walked across the stage to where the people were waiting for her, she shook every single one of their hands thanking all of them. Gemma let out a little laugh as she was handed her Devils Jersey, she slipped it on and smiled already loving it on.

Gemma smiled for the photo holding out a number one for the photo, she was escorted off the stage by one of the many Devils media person. She politely asked if she could wait and watch the second pick and the media girl smiled nodding her head letting them stand off to the side seeing the New York Rangers coming onto the clock.

Gemma watched as the group of people walked onto the stage with a jersey and the man walked up to the microphone. “The New York Rangers are proud to select from Boston University, Macklin Celibrini.”

Gemma cheered and clapped watching with a proud smile as Macklin stood up and hugged all of parents before he started the walk down the stairs and crossed stage, Macklin slipped on the jersey and smiled for the photos before he was escorted off the stage and saw Gemma waiting for him with a proud smile on her face.

“Rivals again.” Macklin teased her softly as walked right to her and Gemma rolled her eyes fondly letting out a chuckle.

The New Jersey media girl asked for the two to take a photo together, Macklin wrapped his arm lightly around Gemma’s waist as they both held up their fingers for the photo smiling.

They were always destined to be together even if the whole world thinks they are rivals.
