#122 Pierre - Family

KATELYNN POV.: It's always hard for me, when Pierre is away at races and I can't make it to them. And Triple-headers are the worst out of all, as I don't get to see him in person for whole 3 long weeks. It's really hard... I, of course, watch him race in TV, and he calls a lot, but it's just not the same...
It's hard when he finishes on the podium, to not be there to run into his arms and tell him how proud I am of him and his work....
It's hard when he finishes out of top 10 or not finish at all and not be there to comfort him, dry his tears of frustration and defeat and tell him how proud I am of him despise that...
My thoughts were interrupted by loud cry.
-Oh, no!- I sighed and stood up from the couch -I'm comming baby!- I said and went quickly to Anthoine's room. My 1.5 year's old baby boy was sitting in his crib and crying his eyes out.
-Aww, baby! No need to cry mon Amour!- I cooed and lifted him in my arms, to shush him -It's really late my love, you'll wake up your big sissy!- I told him calmly, and rocked him back and forth.
It's hard to take care of both him and Andrea, when Rea is 5 and he will be 2 in 4 months and Pierre is away so much, but I manage... Usually..
-Mama- small voice reached me from the door and I saw crying Andrea looking back at me.
-Oh baby girl! What's wrong?- I asked her, and kneeled down to her eye level as she came closer. But before she said anything, Rea started to cry again, making me pout. It's hard to see your kids cry and I really hate it.
-Rea baby, you need to tell me what happened first, for me to help you- I told her calmly, and pulled her into hug, still cuddling Thoine to my chest.
-Thoine started to cry and I wanted to... to check on him, but I fell!- she said between sobs, and I kissed her head. I assured her that it's ok and tried to calm her down before Thoine picked up from her, but I failed and both my kids started to cry. I rocked them back and forth, assuring them that it's ok and there's no need to cry, but inside, I wished that Pierre was here, with me, to help...
After they calmed down, Anthoine fell asleep again, so I placed him back in his crip and looked at sleepy little girl in my arms.
-Enough is enough Rea, you should be asleep already. It's almost 10 PM..- I told her calmly and added -I'm bringing you to bed..- I said and caried her out of her little brother's room.
-When is Papa coming home, Mama?- she asked me sleeply.
-Soon baby, soon... It's race day tomorrow, remember?
-Yay! Can I watch?
-Of course! But you need to go to sleep now!
-Ok..- she yawned and soon after that fell asleep in my arms. I placed her back beneth the covers, switched off her lamp, kissed her head and smiled.
-Sweet dreams my Princess..- I whispered and then left her room.
"Just come back to me P..."- I thought and went to bed myself. I really miss my husband...
I rolled from my side onto Pierre's and buried my face in his pillow to check, if his scent was still there. It was even after almost 3 weeks... I began to drift off, enveloped by Pierre's covers and his scent, as single tear droped from my eye. I really miss him...

.....
Two days later, it was time for Pierre to finally come home, and I was happy as ever, the same with kids. I got Anthoine ready, dressing him in cute outfit and finished the look with matching socks and shoes.
-Rea! Princess, are you ready?- I called out for my daughter, who demanded for me to leave her alone to dress up. I wonder what has she put on this time....?
Soon after that I heard little feet pattering down the hall and she apeared in doorway.
-Oui Mama!- she grinned, proud of herself. She had cute jean overalls on with white t-shirt underneeth and matching socks and shoes. I did her hair ealier in two high pig tails bouded with pink bands, what finished the look, just like her dark-blue AlphaTauri sweatshirt.
-Let's go to see Daddy!- I said to them, as I lifted Anthoine to my arms and we emerged the house, to get to our car. I straped them both in their car seats, as they bounced happily, eager to see their dad.
Andrea was singing the ABC's song and the wheels on the bus both in French and in English for whole 20 minute drive, and Thoine was squealing along happily. It was sweet and funny at first, but then I grew irritated, but even though I didn't stop them. 
-We're here!
-Yay!- they squealed in joy, making me giggle, as I hooped out of the car, to get them out of their seats. Luckly we managed to arrive 15 minutes ealier than the team was due to land, so I could calmly get to the spot I wanted. I looked over at Andrea one moment, and saw her biting her lip in ancipation, with gaze focused on the door, as she held my hand tightly. With other one I secured Anthoine on my lap.
-You excited to see Papa?
-Oui!- she looked at me with shit eating grin, which was very much similar to her fathers, when he was excited about something. 
-Just a few minutes more Angel..- I kissed her head with smile and then gave a kiss to Thoine as well.

Before we knew it, it was time for the plane to land, so we focused our attention on arrivals gate.
-Papa!- Rea shouted the second she saw him and ran the fastest she could, to him.
-Mia Princessa!- Pierre said and caught her mid-air, scooping her into his arms -I missed you so much!- he told her, hugging her close, as she snuggled to him as close as she was able, with her little hands around his neck.
-Papa!- Anthoine squealed, drawing Pierre's attention to us, as his whole face lit up, when our gazes met. He quickly came to us with Rea in his arms with big smile.
-Welcome back mon Amour...- I told him, and we embraced each other in big, group hug.
-I missed you, beautiful- he whispered in my ear and kissed my cheek.
-We missed you too.. So much..- I said with gentle smile and pulled back a little, to look at him. But I didn't say anthing else, because Pierre placed his lips on mine, kissing me tenderly.
-Ewww! No! No kissing Papa!- Rea exclaimed in childish disgust, making us laugh.
-I love you too Princess- he said through giggles and kissed her cheek, making her laugh as well.
-Let's go home, shall we?
-Oui, sil' vous plea..- he agreed and we made our way back to our car. We're SO HAPPY that he's back home... With us...
THE END

Pierre is reunited with his family, and everyone are over the moon because of that...
