Y/n and Rich where up sat in the friends and family section, Rich with his arms around his granddaughters shoulders, a lighthearted conversation between them about the upcoming events of the game. "What do you think the score will be Grandad by bet is 3-1 to THE ARSENAL" y/n shouted loud enough that probably the whole emirates stadium would hear. Rich let out a deep chuckle at his granddaughters love and enthusiasm for the game. "Hmm I do back the girls but ManCity have been on good form recently my bet is 2-1 to us" he replied but slightly less enthusiasm than y/n. Y/n replied to him with a look of disgust for even suggesting a close score like that in her eyes Arsenal where untouchable, but everyone that knew the little preteen would question wether she was talking about Arsenal or her parents being untouchable. Richard glancing at the girl realising she was in deep thought ruffled the girls hair, "if you have such a passion for the game why don't you join a little club" he questioned her. The reply he received off y/n was not one he was expecting and something that he was slightly confused about, "no thanks grandad I would much rather watch perhaps hockey might be more my thing". Richard gave his daughter a slight nod in approvement before pointing out to her the game was starting.

Beth pov
We are all lined up in the tunnel about tp head out, Leah was upfront today as she was leading us out due to Kim being sidelined this game due to a niggling calf injury that occurred in a recent clash between us and Aston Villa. The speakers announce our entrance and we all head out to shake hands and take squad photos, whilst we are waiting for our opposition to finish their photo I look up to the friends and family section to try and catch my daughter before kick off and low and behold I see her sat on the seats closest to the edge of the barrier waving at me and Viv. I nudge Viv who was standing next to me and point up to where y/n was who at this point was waving frantically to get our attention, we waved back to her and a smile escaping onto her face before she contently sat back down to watch the match.

General POV
Arsenal kick off the game with Russo starting it off by passing it straight to Katie Mc-Cabe's feet, Katie being Katie tried barging through Man city's line but with Man City holding strong she passed it back to Catley who was able to keep possession playing short snappy passes between her Leah and Amanda. Beth noticing a small gap appear down the right side signalling and shouting to Amanda to make the long pass. Amanda understanding Beth's run made the long pass, Beth running on to it, Beth dribbling down the wing, Viv running into space in the box, Beth makes the past to Viv, BANG! The post was hit and the ball deflected out. The whole of the Emirates let out an "oooh" meanwhile y/n was so near to celebrating as it was unusual for Viv to miss and as soon as the bang was heard across the stadium y/n crashed back into her seat next to Richard who too had his head in his hands after the near miss. Everything seemed to quite down after the game both teams with equal amount of possession apart from one chance on goal for man city when Bunny Shaw started driving into the box, which Leah saved with a brilliant side tackle. It hit half time 0-0.

Whilst the teams where having their team talks and preparing for the second half y/n was sat down discussing the first half with rich that was until she felt a light tap on her shoulder. Y/n whipped her head round in the direction of the tap only to be met with Amanda, "Hello sweetheart are you ok?" She asked the young girl, "yes thanks I'm ok just glad I get to see the game today" y/n replied as she got up to give the older women a proper bear hug. Whilst the young girl was embraced in the hug Amanda cautiously whispered in the young girls ear, "I heard what happened Leah told me, im so glad your ok" she told her. Y/n meant a big deal to Amanda, the amount of times she has looked after the little girl if the girls had international duties or out of England arsenal matched quite often if family weren't available to look after her then the little girl was welcomed into her home much to the delight of both Amanda and y/n. Y/n simply gave Amanda a reassuring smile certifying that she was ok and she was getting there.

The next half soon started no changes being made to either side at this point in time. Whatever happened during half time with the Arsenal side obviously worked they all looked much more powerful on the ball and a lot sharper within their play. Arsenal patiently playing out passes until the perfect opportunity came to attack the box, and that time it did come Kyra seeing the pocket off space in the box sent the ball flying to Beth, who took one, two touches and BANG!! Into the back of the net. The whole of the emirates set a light chanting "meado, meado" y/n too joining in gleaming with delight. As if it couldn't get any better 10 minutes later hitting the 65 minute mark Beth mead made a darting sprint up the wing to send the perfect cross into Alessia who matched her head to it perfectly and sent it rippling into the back of the net.

The game was drawing to the end 2-0 it seemed like it was going to be, you would have thought any team should be happy with that score against another top class team, but not Arsenal of course the one and only Vivianne Miedema had to have her say in the matter and in extra time scored a screamer of a goal nutmegging and probably retiring the goal keeper. That was it the final whistle went 3-0 the girls all congratulated their own team mates and the opposition before gathering in a huddle and doing the lap round the pitch.

Viv Pov
We'd just won 3-0 it was an excellent performance from the team and one that made me proud to wear the red and white. As we did the lap around signing things and saying hello to fans I spot y/n, rich and Amanda all sat down, rich and Amanda deep in conversation with one another and y/n seeming more interested in trying to make contact with myself and Beth. I finally make eye contact with my daughter and she waves at me blowing me kisses which I reciprocate no longer afraid of showing love and affection to my daughter in public. Beth seeing what I was doing came and stood by me with her hand round my waist and In classic Beth style, she started pulling funny faces at y/n causing what seemed from a distance a burst of laughter come from our daughter.

We all headed inside to the changing room each taking turns to shower and change, Leah blasting a classic Abba song Does your Mother know. Just as I've finished getting change from the shower i feel a small pair of hands wrap around me, I smile knowing exactly who they belong to and I turn around to be met with my little blonde. "Hey sweetheart you ok?" I ask her having not heard her entrance, around the Arsenal girls she was comfortable and usually like Beth liked to make a big entrance but today was different she snuck in quietly and came straight over to find me. "Mmm all good thanks well done mumma good goal" she replies tiredness evident in her voice, I hold her in for another hug and then move her towards my cubby where she could sit down whilst we finished getting ready and said our goodbyes.

I am standing at the hair dryers as I meet my other blonde walking out the shower cubicle rubbing her hair with a towel, she comes up to me snaking her arms around me, "proud of you lieverd" she tells me to which I reply the same. After drying both our hairs I tell Beth that y/n is here and how she was completely shattered and sat in my cubby hole, she rushed off to go and find her dad to say goodbye too not before saying goodbye and congratulating all the girls and telling me she'll meet us at the car.

General POV
Viv had finished putting her stuff together and had said goodbye to all the girls it was now only herself and Vic left In the changing rooms and not forgetting a sleeping y/n. Viv picked up y/n with y/n wrapped around her like a koala and Vic very kindly followed behind with the bags. "If you go out the fire exit over there to the cars you won't get spotted by the media, I'm sure you probably don't want pictures of y/n fast asleep plastered all over the internet" Vic said wisely Viv agreed with these wise words she most certainly did not want y/n put all over random peoples social media account, so that's exactly what they did. Once they reached the car Beth was still not there, so vic opened the car door up for Viv so she could place the sleeping child on the back seat hopefully without disturbing here. Once the manovure was successful Viv hugged Vic goodbye and got in the front of the car and started to impatiently wait for Beth. During that time she protectively kept glancing into the back to make sure y/n was ok.

After what seemed like an eternity to Viv but I'm actual fact it was only a couple of minutes Beth climbed into the passenger seat, smiling at the sleeping scene in the back. Before grabbing onto Viv's hand and heading off home back to the meadema household.
