"Bovver how could ya? My own brother? If you ever come around here again I'll kill ya understand?" Bovver nodded and ran from the room so no one saw that he was ready to start crying. Pete sighed before falling into the seat that he'd just left. Shannon was going to kill him and from the look on Matt's face he could see that he knew that as well. Looking up when he heard the doors to the hospital open again he saw Shannon there but so was his misses with their 3 year old daughter Bella. Getting up he picked Bella up when she ran to him with a small smile on her face.

From there on it went down hill. His brother was going to make it but Shannon wasn't going to stay with him thinking that he had been going to the fights with the GSE. His misses wouldn't stop glaring at him and said that he wouldn't be seeing his daughter ever again as she didn't want her to be involved in his sort of life. They had shouted at each other but she had pulled Bella away from him and it broke his heart to see her crying for him and kicking and screaming for him to hold her again.

(After the fight with Mill wall)

Matt sat at the side of Pete's bed and watched as he breathed though a tube. They said he was still in danger but if he made it through the next 2 nights then he would hopefully make it. He had been saying his daughters name as they had brought him in and he had tried to find Renée but she had left and taken a plain to somewhere. Everyone in the GSE had been looking for them but it was like looking for a needle in a hay stack. Matt nodded as Bovver came in and sat down. He didn't turn him away as he was the one to save Pete before it was too late. He just hoped that Pete would make it so he could look for his little girl himself.

15 years later.

"I'm forever blowing bubbles, pretty bubbles in the air, they fly so high they reach the sky and like my dreams they fade and die…" She walked into the bar as they were singing West Hams song and she smiled. She wished her friends were here and they would be singing along with them but she didn't want people looking at her right now. Not with the way her black eye looked. Sighing she sat at the bar and ordered a beer. The barman looked at her gone out but got her one and watched shocked as she downed it in one before asking for another one but taking this one slower.

"Do you know anyone who would want some tickets for tomorrow's game?" She asked him and he nodded before telling her to hold on for a minute. He came back a minute later and pointed to a table in the corner and told her that to ask for Pete. Walking over she saw a god sitting and laughing with his arm around a man she knew very well. He turned when she was at the table and shouted her name.

"Well I never if it isn't my favourite girl! Come here you little slag." Laughing she shook her head before she went into Emmet's arms. Pulling back she saw everyone at the table looking at her now with confusion written all over their faces. "Guys this girl here is Bella put don't piss her off she'll deck ya and speaking from experience I'd say you wont get back up for a while." He said with a grin and rubbing his cheek from where she had hit him the first time he had tried to make her go out with him. They laughed at him they welcomed her and asked her what she wanted.

"Well I have 4 tickets for tomorrow's game going to waist and wanted to know if anyone wanted them."

"You mean to tell me that you have tickets for the west ham game and you didn't tell me? How could you?" Emmet tried to look hurt but he had a grin on his face. There were two guys who looked shock but they had looked like that since Emmet had said her name not to long ago. Laughing at him she pulled out 4 tickets and put them on the table.

"So do you want them or not? Not to be rude but unlike Emmet here I have to get back to work." Emmet glared at her and snatched the tickets off the table. "Right see ya and I'll let Rose know that you'll be pissed shell I Emmet?" Before he could slap her she had grabbed his hand and turned his arm behind his back. "Maybe next time." Waving she walked out with every eye on her.

"Where did you say met her Em?" His god like friend asked.

"I didn't. But she was on the train last year. You know the fight that took place around the time I met Rose? Well she was there and I made a complete ass of myself and she hit me, took 10 minutes for me to get up, anyway by then I heard shouting coming from the next carriage. I went to look and there they were 3 women beating the shit out of the some of the Manchester guys." They looked shocked but didn't say anything as he started to talk again. "Well Bella went down and I went to help but before I could she had already gotten up and she belted him one right in the gut. It was like 10 minutes before they finished and walked off the train laughing with their arms around each other. It was like it never happened. After that I saw them again we got to talking and the rest, as they say, is history." He was grinning but it turned to a frown when he saw pain in Pete's eyes and Steve looking like a bus had just hit him.

It took a while but they all got into the swing again and by the end of the night were pissed and went home wishing the game would hurry up and begin. They had a score to settle with Liverpool.
