The Intern || A Lando Norris Fanfiction

Epilogue - Jona

"I can't be pregnant." I tell Emily, as she's holding my hair back. More vomit leaving my body. We're in Miami, in my hotel room. McLaren still insisting Lando and I need separate rooms. Even though we barely use both. It's nice to go into my room every now and then to get stuff done. 

"You can very well be." Emily says, "have you taken the test yet?" Referring to the pregnancy test I've been carrying with me since I was sick before leaving for Miami. Emily forced me to take it, but I just put it in the bag. 

"I have not. We've been safe." I tell her. 

"And you and I both know that it can still happen." Emily tells me, and I know she's right. What I also know is that we stopped using condoms after the engagement, just me using the pill. And I've been sick about a month and a half ago. It could be compromised. "Just take the test." 

Emily walks over to my carry-on bag, grabbing the test and handing it to me. 

"Fine but I can't pee with you in the room." I tell her, forcing her to get out of the bathroom. 

I'm not pregnant right? I can't be. 

I put the stick into my pee, before removing it again. Putting it on the sink, and leaving the bathroom. 

"How long does this take?" I ask Emily, who's looking at her phone smiling. Probably talking to Max Fewtrell. The two of them too stubborn to actually ask each other out, but having a lot of fun in the meantime. 

"Fifteen minutes." Emily answers as I set my timer. 

We talk a bit, and I'm content I am not throwing up for the time we're waiting. "It's time." I sigh, looking at the timer. 

"I can't do this." I tell Emily, before going into the bathroom.

"Yes you can." She says, nerves building in my body. "Want me to look with you?" 

"Yes please." I say and together we walk into the bathroom. 

I grab the pregnancy test, turning it around. Two bright stripes present on the stick. 

"I'm pregnant." I stammer with disbelief.

"That's a very positive test." Emily ads. "Congrats? I guess." She says before giving me a hug. 

"I don't belief it. I want to do another." I say looking at the cup of pee still standing on the sink as well. 

"Good because I've brought three more." Emily says. She knows me way too well. Emily walks over to her bag, grabbing three different pregnancy tests from it. 

I take all the tests, put them face down on the sink before getting out of the bathroom. 

"I'm gonna be an auntie." Emily says a bright smile on her face, as I'm still trying to wrap my head around the fact that I might actually be pregnant. 

"I'm not sure, I mean those tests give false positives too right?" I tell her. 

"Jona, trust me. You're pregnant." Emily says. 

The timer goes off once again, and together we walk into the bathroom. "So this is a digital one right?" I ask Emily, before turning it around. 

"It is." She says, and I turn it around. Pregnant 5-6 weeks. The words are written on the little screen. 

That's another positive. But 5-6 weeks seems long isn't it? How have I not noticed it before. 

I turn around the next one. Two bright stripes present on the stick. I look at Emily completely amazed. I can't believe this? Am I really pregnant. 

I turn around the last stick, revealing two stripes once again. 

"I'm so happy for you." Emily says wrapping her arms around me. "Even if you're not happy in the moment, you will be. You're gonna be an amazing mother. And Lando will be an amazing dad."

I'm walking through the paddock, guiding the new intern Boyd around. "I'm sorry I feel a little sick." I tell him, quickly entering the Red Bull hospitality and going to the bathroom there. 

I empty my stomach once more. I can never keep this a secret. I need to tell Lando soon. The fear of this mornings pregnancy tests still very aware in my mind. 

I wipe my mouth with some toilet paper, asking the lady behind the counter for a bottle of water before I want to leave. Kelly's standing right behind me. "What's going on?" She asks looking at me suspicious. 

"Lando asked me to check in with you, when you entered the RBR hospitality." She says. 

"I'm just a little nauseous." I tell her. 

"Why don't I believe you." Kelly says. "You've been in the bathroom half of the flight her. You don't want to leave the paddock staying near the bathroom continuously. Are you pregnant?" 

I can feel my cheeks burning up. All I can do is nod. 

"I found out this morning, Lando doesn't know yet." I tell her quietly, making sure no one can hear us.

"Your secret is safe with me. But tell him soon, because I'm definitely not the only one who's suspicious." Kelly adds before we go outside again. The somewhat fresh air doing me a bit better. 

"Okay Boyd, I've got to take care of some things." I say to the intern. "Go work on some assignments or something." 

I make my way to Emily, who is waiting in the TV pen for the drivers to come there after the second free practise. 

"I need your help." I tell her, pulling her away from the other tv crews. She excuses herself from the rest of the ViaPlay crew and walks with me. "Can you get baby McLaren Merch set for me?" I ask her. 

"I can." She tells me. 

"Be discreet." I add, it doesn't take Emily long to return. Holding a bag, with what I assume is a baby sized McLaren attire. 

"Thanks." I say, taking the bag from her. Before letting her go back to the tv pen, I make my way to Lando's driver room. 

*** 

It seems to take forever before Lando and I can get back to his driver room. I usually don't go in, but today's different. The small McLaren branded bag standing on his massage table already. 

"What's this?" Lando asks looking at me, knowing I'm the only one who he allows in her when he's not there. 

"Just look at it." I tell him, he carefully takes out the mini sized McLaren shirt. A puzzled look on his face. "We might need that in about 7 or 8 months." I say a small smile playing on my lips. Nerves going through my body as well. 

"You're pregnant?" He looks at me in disbelief.

"I am." I tell him, taking the positive tests out of my backpack. 

A smile appears on Lando's face, before he hugs me. "We're gonna have a child." He cheers. Spinning me around before pulling up my shirt and placing a light kiss on my stomach. 

"You're gonna be a great dad." I say, smiling at him. 

"And you're gonna be the most amazing mom" He tells me. "But how?" 

"I just think the pill wasn't functioning that well with me being sick in Jeddah remember?" I ask him and he just nods, before placing his lips on mine. 

I'm so relieved that he's happy too. Because in the half a day I had to grow accustomed to the idea, I already fell in love with the tiny human growing inside of me.
