ALTERNATE SOTRYLINE FROM ACTUAL F1 TO MAKE STORY INTERESTING.

ARIA POV:

It was Monza race day and Lando had been having a good weekend so far. It was one of the first races I've been able to go to since finding out I was pregnant because being pregnant with twins turns out to be a lot of work. I was sitting in the McLaren garage as the race was going to be starting soon. I always get nervous before races because what if something happens to Lando. I know how amazing of a driver he is but it's hard to not think of the what if's.

"Good luck today and be safe Land." I said as he was about to put his helmet on.

"I will, I love you Ari." He said as he kissed me and my bump that was getting bigger and bigger by the day.

We hugged one last time as I had to go back to the garage. They just finished the formation lap as I finally sat down next to Charlotte. She was always so supportive and always calmed me down during races.

"You alright dear?" She asked me as she could tell I was nervous.

"Yeah, just normal nerves and that."

"Darling, just breath." She said as the five lights went out and the racing began.

The start went really well for Lando, he gained a lot of positions and was in P6! It was getting toward the middle of the race when the garage all gasped and suddenly went completely silent. I assumed there was a bad crash but never did I think it was as bad as it was or that it could even include Lando.

The garage started going hectic as Charlotte took me out of the garage as fast as she could. Her rushing me out made me more nervous than I had ever been before in my life. As we were leaving I would hear Landos engineer Will say "Lando are you alright? Can you hear me Lando? Lando?"

As soon as I heard that I fell to my knees and began sobbing. What had happened. I hadn't seen the crash or anything. Was Lando okay, was he even alive?

Charlotte raced me back to the hospitality suite as I kept asking what was happening. I knew something was wrong and Lando was involved but she didn't tell me anything. I could see the worry on her face as she was rushing me upstairs as to not see anything. As we got upstairs I heard sirens and the medical helicopter landing by the crash. I became more and more nervous. I couldn't take it anymore. I got out of Charlottes grip and ran back towards the garage and the race that had been red flagged. The monitors were showing what happened and all I could see was a completely destroyed McLaren, but not Lando. I saw Carlos car pull up in the pit lane so I knew it was Lando in the crash.

"Where is he?!?" I screamed as I sobbed.

I got no response. I didn't know what to do. The footage had played what happened and Lando got clipped by another drivers and he violently hit the wall. He was knocked out. No one could get him to wake up. My world felt as if it was crashing down and I felt as if I was going to faint. Andreas took me by my hand and took me to the back of the garage with Carlos.

"Aria, he's going to the hospital. He was breathing fine and had a pulse when the medical crew got to the crash. He's okay and in great hands." Andreas told me as I just cried in Carlos' shoulder.

"Where is Lando? Please." I begged Andreas to take me to him.

"He's going to the hospital. He's in critical condition Aria so they had to take him there."

"We'll take me there then, I need to see him."

"Aria breath, it's not good if you don't breath for the babies." Carlos said as I was hyperventilating.

I tried to take a deep breath but it felt as if it was an impossible task to do. Carlos kept me in a hug as the race directors decided that the race was not to resume as the damage to the barriers and circuit was too extreme to finish in time so they awarded half points. Lando had gotten up to P3 before his crash. They go back two laps before the red flag if they do not complete the race. It was his first podium and I was praying to God that it would not be his last.
