Here it is guys, chapter seven, enjoy!

Wildcat Spirit

"Mrs B's" Cam shouted across the gym, as Gabriella and Lucille entered with the children.

It was a month after the accident and both Gabriella and Anna were well on the road to recovery; Anna's cast had been taken off, and her arm was completely healed. Gabriella's ribs had healed, allowing her to start physiotherapy on her knee; the physio it's self, was allowing Gabriella to move around by herself, with the aid of crutches, meaning Troy was able to join Jack, back at work.

"That's observant of you Cam, well done!" Troy said, as he picked up Anna, who had come charging in his direction. "Alright guys, take five!"

"Gabi." Alex greeted his sister, as he made his way towards her. "You wanna hug?"

"No I don't, you're all sweaty, go hug your girlfriend, she loves ya."

"I'm glad someone does, I feel so unloved." Alex complained, as he made his way over to Bella, who was on the bleachers with Katie and Cam.

Yes, Cam and Katie had become a couple a little over a week after their first date, they were taking it slow, just holding hands with the odd hug thrown in here and there, but that didn't matter to them, or anyone around them, they were all just happy that Katie had found someone genuine to be with, unlike certain other, unmentionable people.

"Mummy, Daddy said we can have front row seats tomorrow, by the team bench, that's really exciting Mummy." Anna exclaimed, as Gabriella made her way towards her husband and eldest daughter.

"You're right sweetie that is exciting, why don't you go ask Uncle Alex to play basketball with you? I'm sure he'll say yes, if you tell him you'll be here to support him tomorrow."

"Okay Mummy I will, I'm gonna beat him. Uncle Alex!" Anna called, as Troy put her down to go and get Alex off of the bleachers."

"Hey." Gabriella greeted Troy; as he leant down to give her a kiss. "How's the training going?"

"Yeah really good, Dad kept them in shape while I was away, so there on top form, they really wanna nail this for him, it being his last game here and all."

"Yeah I guess your right, there'll really excited though." Gabriella said, as she gestured to all the players running round the gym after Anna. "So long as they have that spirit tomorrow, and the rest of the school are behind them, they could be well on their way to a win."

"You're right there Mrs B." Cam said, as he and Katie approached, him with Ebonnie and her with Oscar in their arms. "Because we'll have spirit, and the rest of the student body will have spirit, and along with our top notch playing skills, we could be well on our way to being back-to-back champions."

"That attitude, Cameron, is why you are the one to pump us all up before a game." Troy said, as he took the twins from the teens, and rested one on each hip. "Anyway, what you guys doing here Brie, I told you me and Dad were bringing them all home after practise."

"Yeah I know that, but my physio wanted me to go for a little walk before I see her again tomorrow, so Lucille and I put the twins in their pushchair, and set off to pick Anna up from school earlier than normal, 'cause we all know I can't exactly walk very fast, I used my crutches and leant on their pushchair, I only took us just over half an hour, I'm gonna be really tired by the time we get home though."

"Oh okay, we should be done here by half four, so we'll probably be back just after five." Troy said, as he passed Ebonnie and Oscar over to Lucille, who had come over with their pushchair, ready for their return journey home.

"Yeah well, that rate I walk at, you might even pass us on the way!" Gabriella joked, as she leant up to give Troy a kiss."

"Okay guys, this is the last proper practise we get before the game tomorrow, so lets move, pair up, sort out your passing. Anna you need to go home now, I'll see you when I get back, okay?"

"Okay Daddy." Anna replied, as she skipped over to Troy to give him a kiss goodbye, before doing the same to her Aunt and Uncle, and then running off to catch up with the others.

As Troy unlocked his front door that afternoon, he was about to shout and make his and the others' presence known, but when he noticed his wife sound asleep on the couch, he decided not to.

He turned around and signalled to the others to be quiet, as they all made their way into the house, through the living room, and into the kitchen, where the back door was open and laughter could be heard coming from the garden.

Lucille had her back to the house, so she didn't notice when the six figures who had just arrived home, made their way outside, it was Ebonnie who alerted her to their presence.

"Dada!" She exclaimed, as she started to crawl off of the blanket Lucille has stationed them all on, only to be stopped by Lucille, who grabbed her by the waist, and pulled her back to the centre of the blanket.

"He's coming to you little girl, you just need to be patient." Lucille informed her Granddaughter, as she turned around to greet the others.

"Hey guys, practise go okay?"

"Yep." Troy answered, as he plopped down on the blanket next to his Mum, and scooped the twins into his lap in the process.

"I think we could be looking at becoming back-to-back champions." Jack informed his wife, as he sat down next to her and planted a kiss on her cheek in the process.

"Anna banana, come here." Troy called to his daughter, who had already roped the teenagers into playing basketball with her.

Anna groaned before making her way towards her father. "Did you wear your Mummy out on the way home?"

Anna shock her head. "Noooo." She pulled out the word. "Tell him Grandma."

"She's right Troy, Gabriella made the walk home quite easily, and while these guys had a snack we started preparing dinner, Anna then wanted to come outside, I offered to play with her, but Gabriella decided we'd all come outside. She sat on the blanket and played catch with Anna for a bit, but then I think her knee became painful, so she went inside and took some of her medication. She didn't come back out, so I told Anna to watch the twins and went in to check on her, I found her asleep on the couch, so I took off her shoes and covered her with the blanket, she's been there of nearly an hour now, but dinner should be just about ready, so someone needs to go wake her up, Troy?"

"Yeah, I'll go." Everyone laughed, as Troy put the twins down on the blanket, and reluctantly made his way inside, like he was a child and Lucille was making him do something he didn't want to do; though they all knew they he would do anything to spend time with his wife.

"Yesterday I walk in and she's asleep, today I walk in and she's awake when I expect her to be asleep, can't win." Troy stated, as he and Jack entered his home the next day.

"Nice to see you to dear." Gabriella greeted, as she caught the soft ball Anna had just thrown to her and threw it back to her.

"Is that really the way you should be greeting your wife?" Lucille asked her son, as she made her into the living room from the kitchen, and sat down on the couch next to Gabriella.

"No, probably not." Troy answered, as he plopped down on Gabriella's other side, and pulled her close as he gave her a kiss. "How was physio?"

"Good thanks; I walked all by myself, with only one bar on my left to support me." Gabriella answered proudly.

Troy smiled, as he leaned in to give Gabriella another kiss. "Well done babe, that's a real achievement, I'm proud of you."

"What have you done with the teenagers?" Lucille asked Jack who has taken a seat next to her.

"They all went across the road to Cam's; we're taking the boys so we can get in a bit more practise, so you need to bring the girls with you tonight, if that's okay?"

"Yeah I guess it is, can't put the team's chances of winning at risk because their captains haven't got their biggest there fans there to cheer them on." Lucille teased.

"Don't let them hear you say that Mum, the girls aren't their biggest fans, and the boys could play without them there, we all know they're wrong, but there you go." Troy said, as he caught Anna's ball and threw it to Jack, making Anna laugh at Jack's surprised reaction.

"I all can say, is that's it's a good thing your Dad isn't playing tonight, or I doubt you'd win, let alone become champions." Lucille said, as Jack proved her wrong by shooting the ball through the toy hoop Anna had on the other side of the room."

They'd done it. It had taken a lot of hard work, from players and coach's alike, but they'd done it. They were back-to-back champions, and the feeling was absolutely amazing.

"Gabs, we did it! We actually did it! We're back-to-back champions sis!"

To say Alex was excited was a slight understatement; he'd just led his team to being back-to-back champions, and the feeling he felt right now was totally indescribable.

"Congratulations babe, you did it!" Bella congratulated Alex with a hug and a kiss, before he pulled her off to celebrate with the others.

Gabriella sat on the bleachers with the twins in their car seats looking very drowsy; now that the crowds were clearing up; she hoped they'd fall asleep sometime soon.

"Mummy look at the trophy, it's huge!" Anna exclaimed, as they watched the Wildcats take the trophy out of the gym, back to it's rightful place in the school's trophy cabinet.

"Yep it is, but they deserved it, they played amazingly, did you see Uncle Alex score those free throws?"

Anna nodded her head vigorously, as she ran across the gym to congratulate Grandpa Jack, who was talking with some of East High's other teachers.

"I can't believe they just did that, I actually have no idea how to describe how I feel right now." Troy said, as he took a seat on the bleachers next to Gabriella and wrapped his arms round her, not caring that there were still some of their students around.

"It wasn't just them, without you and Dad coaching them, they'd never have gotten to that standard Troy, they all know it, just as much as you and Dad do, congratulations by the way."

"Thanks." Troy mumbled, as he leant in to kiss her, only to be a broken apart by the twins tired cries. "I think we should round up Anna and get them home." Troy said, as he crouched down next to the twins, and gently rocked their car seats in an attempt to send them back to sleep.

"That sound like a plan, 'cause they're not the only ones who are tired." Gabriella said, as she did her best to stifle a yawn. "I feel bad leaving this early though, they all wanna celebrate and you're their coach you should be there with them, not tucked up in bed with me."

"Hey now, don't talk like that, we've got plenty of time to celebrate as a team, 'cause right now you and my children are my top priority, so stop worry about what everyone else is doing, and start thinking about you, and the fact that you haven't slept after your physio like you normally do, we just need to round up Anna then we'll go, okay?"

Gabriella nodded, as Troy straightened himself out, and gave her kiss on the forehead, before going of in search of his eldest daughter.

"Three down, one to go." Troy said, as he climbed into bed next to Gabriella. "Come here beautiful."

Gabriella did as she was told, and scooted across the bed to snuggle into her husbands arms. Her head rested on his chest, her left arm draped over his stomach, as Troy's hands started their magic actions up and down her back,

"You and Cam were right yesterday you know, there was so much wildcat spirit in that gym today, that I truly believe the boys couldn't hear themselves think, they out did the knights easily, and a lot of them travelled to the match, especially with it being the championship game."

"Mhmm, I know." Gabriella answered her eyes closed, as Troy's hands' magic started to work. "You know why, because every match that they play, whether it's home or away, the wildcat spirit is always there, because the boys, especially Cam, are the leaders of that spirit, the student body just add to it."

"I think you're right, now go to sleep. Tomorrow's Saturday so I can get up with the children while you sleep, and even when you are awake I'm still gonna be in charge, 'cause you are all of the time, so now Mummy's gonna take a back seat, while Daddy runs around like a mad man, understood?"

"Perfectly, just wake me up before you start running round like a mad man, I'll so need to record it and show the others." Gabriella teased, as she kissed Troy's t-shirt covered chest.

"Stop being mean, and go to sleep Brie."

"Yes coach." Gabriella muttered, as sleep slowly took her into it's grasp, and pulled her away to dreamland.
