Sobbing on her knees, Catalina couldn't help the emotions that overcame her. Her beloved Argentina was finally a World Champion, the stars that she prayed to upon that very night had somehow fallen right onto her jersey. This one star was all that Lina and her brother hoped for since childhood, and now she had achieved. She felt moments things the main one was short breath, no physically she couldn't breath as her teammates dog piled on her.
"Can't breath" she said in between breath gasp and the tears threatening to spill out, not that they weren't already.
"We're World Champions" was the response she got back as one by one they started to get off.
"Campeones del mundo" the excitement returned as she started jumping up and down.
"Catalina" her coach running towards her squashed her into a hug.
"You did it" her coach did something that was deemed unbelievable by her people, her beloved country was once again winners in the eyes of the world.
"We did it" like little kids they spun each other around one more time before breaking up.
"And don't think I forgot about that little celebration stunt, your running extra laps the second we get back to training" Portugals star' celebration for the Argentinian savior was simply unacceptable.
"It was well worth it" giving one last pat on the back she set off with the search of finding her family.
The first one to meet her gaze who wasn't someone from her teammates family member congratulating her was Thiago. Her little nephew must have escaped his parents clutches as he ran full speed towards his aunt. Squatting down she collected him into her arms as the little boys gave her a life threatening squeeze.
Her heart burst at the emotions taking over as he whispered that HIS aunt was a world champion and that she did it.
"Ay mi Thiagito" she mumbled into the sweet boys hair.
Approaching the pair was now her mother and father followed by her sibling. Her poor mother had tears streaming down her eyes, same as her fathers and siblings. Bursting out into tears like a little kid she sat Thiago down and ran into her parents arm. They coddled her and whispered praises that any child would love to hear from her parents, after all this was all their doing with their love and support to her. She would probably look like a complete fool in the media later, but who cares SHE WAS WORLD CHAMPION. God she couldn't help but love saying those word. Moving onto her siblings with one last kiss on the head from both her parents, she couldn't help but relish in the love.
Her sister crying with her, her brothers being big brothers and teasing her, and Leo well...he had to be the proudest of them all. Tears had gathered in his eyes as well as he gave he r a big hug.
"Lo hiciste" kissing her forehead they had their emotional sibling moment.
"Para nosotros" the response had them both smiling ear to ear.
"I think there's other people waiting for her so stop hogging her Leo" their sister pulling them away from one another pushed her towards a patiently waiting Cris and inpatient Junior.
"Now Pai" Junior turned to his father who clutched him in his arms to not have the boy slip away.
"Yes" releasing him Cris watched as his boy jumped into her arms and congratulated her.
"You won mamãe" clutching the boy as if he was her life support she didn't let go.
"I did" this moment still feel surreal and holding him just made it that more memorable.
"Alright now it's my turn" Cris interrupted their moment for his own.
"Estou orgulhoso de você, meu amor" with a kiss that could've stopped time, Cris put all his support into it.
