Adopted by the Lynches

twenty - Liv and Maddie

Have you been wondering why G. Hannelius is in the cast? Well, you're gonna find out in this chapter! 😏🎉🌸

Today is the competition. Holy crap I haven't been in a gymnastics competition since I was 10! I got up from my bed and went through my closet, looking for the new competition leotards that coach gave us. I took a shower, and slipped on the leotards. I got my jacket and shorts and I put that on.

"Mom!" I yelled from my room.

"What happened sweetie?!" She asked frantically coming in my room.

"Could you pleaseee fix my hair for the competition?" I pleaded.

"Sure hun" She smiled grabbing my brush, starting off.

"Done!" She said after fifteen minutes. She pulled my hair in a ponytail with different braids coming from both top sides of my hair.

"Oh my gosh! Thanks momma!" I squealed and kissed her cheek.

"Welcome baby! Now lets take pictures!" She squealed and I giggled at her reaction. I got my ready bag and we walked downstairs, seeing everyone ready to go.

"Picture! Now!" Mom demanded. All my siblings except Rydel groaned.

"Liv dear, can you take off your jacket and shorts please? So that it will leave you in your leotards. Just for the picture" Mom said. I nodded, went in the bathroom and slipped them off. I'm now left in my leotards and nikes. I went back to the living room and saw them where I left them.

"Liv! you look so cute!" Rydel squealed and hugged me.

"Why are you in a bathing suit?" Ryland asked dumbly.

"Its not a bathing suit, dumbo." I smacked the back of his head, earning laughs from my siblings.

"Okay okay picture picture!!" Mom demanded. Mom is into pictures, especially when it involves some occasions like this. Mom took a group pic if my siblings and I. Then Rydel and I took a pic with a fierce pose cause she said so. Then mom and I took a pic hugging eachother, the same with my other brothers. Slipped my jacket and shorts back on then we piled in the van.

30 minutes later, we get to the venue, and a wave of nervousness takes over me. I think Riker noticed, because he looked at me concern, and I flashed him a smile. Mom and I went to the lockers/back stage and met with my coach and the team. Dad, my siblings and Ellington-who we picked up on the way here- went to find their seats.

After stretching, mom went to follow my family. I was the third one to do a floor routine.

"Now, we have on the floor, Olivia Lynch!" The announcer's voice boomed, and I walked out of the backstage place, head high and smiling and went to the floor.

•••

"And the winner for the floor routine, bar routine and beam routine or for short, over all champion is... Olivia Lynch!" I smiled so wide from my place on the mat and jogged towards the step thingo. The judge gave me a huge trophy. I smiled for pictures and I saw my family cheering for me loudly from their seats.

"And that ends this year's gymnastics state tournament!" The announcer, which I learned his name was Bryan said. I can't stop myself from smiling. I hopped of the stairs thingo and saw my siblings and Ellington running towards me while mom dad followed behind them.

"EEEEK!!! YOU WON OVER ALL CHAMPION!!! CONGRATS! I AM SO PROUD OF YOU!!" Rydel said and hugged me tight, soon I felt that my other brothers and Ell ofcourse joined the hug.

"Guys... Can't .. Breathe..." I said and they let go and said sorry.

"Momma! I made it!" I squealed and showed her my enormous trophy.
