Lando Norris | Formula 1

Chapter Fourty-Four

The vacation to the Maldives went on too fast and before we knew it, we had to fly straight to the next race in Azerbaijan.

It was hot as hell. I was burning up as I walked on the track. I wore a cap and shorts and redbull jersey.

"Nat!" Charles shouts and I spot him and head over. "Hey, what's up?" I ask and smile at him.

"I need your help with a surprise for Charlotte later, so I was thinking if we could meet up later?" Charles asks and wipe his sweaty forehead.

"Sure, text me details" I say and he nods before I leave. I walk to the Redbull garage and see my brother geared up.

"We have to get this one" Max tells me and I nod. "I know" I say and smile at him.

"How's the hand?" Max asks and takes it in his hand.

"It's okay, it was only a bruise" I say and he eyes my skin.

"I'm sorry"

"I know you've said it a million times, brother" I say with a small laugh.

"Focus on the race" I say and pat his shoulder.

Before I know it, the race begins and I watch the drivers do their best and Max finishes P1, Checo P2, and Lewis P3. Lando finished P4.

I watch as Max throws himself at the Redbull team and I hug my brother. "You did it!" Max shouts at me and kiss my forehead. I smile and hug him once again.

I got to Lando as Max gets his podium and spray champagne. "Hey babe" I say and kiss him. I feel my heart sinking a bit, as I see him fighting to give me a real smile.

"I'm sorry about the race, you still did good, babe. You were so close to Hamilton" I say and take his face in my hands and stand between his legs.

He leans into my touch and I peck his lips softly. "Don't be sad" I say as he still doesn't say anything, he closes his eyes as he leans into my warm touch.

"I love you" Lando says and kiss my palm and then my lips. I look to the side as we pull away and realise the DTS filming crew had caught our moment.

"Come" I say and pull him into his private room and lock the door after me. "What's wrong?" Lando asks tiredly and I kiss him once again, only this time I deepen the kiss.

Lando kiss me back with the same energy. "Can we go home today?" Lando asks as we rest our foreheads against each others.

I nod and peck his lips. "I'll arrange it. How are you feeling?" I ask and he looks down at me and I truly see how sad and tired he is.

"Tired" Lando says with a small smile as he run his thumb over my bottom lip. "I just want to go home for a few days with you" Lando says and I nod.

"And we will. Don't worry" I say and hug him. "I will let you know when the flight is. I'll go and sort it out" I say and Lando nods thankfully and pull me into another kiss as I get ready to leave.

"Thank you, baby" Lando says and I smile before leaving.

"Heeeeeeey Zak, how does it look with the McLaren private plane?" I ask and sling my arm around Zak's shoulder as I walk up to him.

"It looks good, why?" Zak asks suspeciously and scrunch his face at my redbull shirt and I laugh.

"Lando needs a break. He needs to recharge, he wants to go home for a few days before the next race" I explain and Zak nods.

"Take it, when do you want to leave?" Zak asks and I look at my watch. "We need to pack the hotel room, so I think an hour" I say.

"It's done. Go and relax" Zak says and I smile at him. "Thank you" I say and hug him.

I run back to Lando and tell him the news and he hugs me in relief. "Go get ready and then we'll leave for the hotel" I say and he nods.

I run back to the redbull garage and tell Max.

"Alright, Kelley and I are heading home too, Charles and Charlotte are probably flying home too" Max says and I nod before saying goodbye to Kelley and Max and then I met Lando outside and we go to his car and drive off to the hotel.

I quickly text Charles our plans as I remembered I promised to help him with a surprise for Charlotte.

I suggested to him that we work something out if they came back to Monaco as well.

Lando held my hand the whole way and didn't say much. I was beginning to get worried. He was never this homesick or quiet. Or clingy, but in a good way.

"Are you okay, babe?" I ask softly.

"I will be" Lando replies and lift my hand and kiss the back of it.

We get to the hotel and pack our things before driving on to the airport, where the McLaren private plane are waiting for us.

We get in and fly home. A few hours later we arrive at our gate and I run out to open it, as Lando drives through and it closes on its own afterwards.

I walk up to Lando as he parked and got out. We got the bags inside and threw ourselves on our bed.

"Now I'm okay" Lando says and pull me into his chest and I laugh.

We were almost asleep when Lando said: "Daniel is leaving McLaren"

"What?!"

For the next days we enjoy our alone time and Lando really relaxed. On our last night, we invited Max, Kelley, Charles and Charlotte over for dinner.

So, we dressed up and cooked dinner. When Max and Kelley arrived I noticed she was rather stressed, so I took her to the side.

"What's wrong?" I ask her and her eyes started to water. "I think i'm pregnant" Kelley cries and my eyes widen and I hug her and cheer, but she quickly shuts me up as she slaps her hand over my mouth.

"Why" I ask muffled and refer to her hand on top of my mouth.

"I don't know if Max wants it. And i'm not sure. I need to do another test" Kelley says. I pull her with me upstairs and go into Lando and I's bedroom and into the bathroom connected to it.

I open a drawer and hand her box with two tests. "Here you go. Use our bathroom. I will wait downstairs, okay? Call if you need me" I say and Kelley nods before hugging me, I kiss her cheek and leave.

"After we need to have a talk about why you have those tests!" Kelley calls after me and I chuckle. With the often activities we do, we need it, just in case.

I greet Charles and Charlotte as I see they arrived. After a few minutes Kelley comes back and she smiles nervously at me and I rub her back comfortingly.

Lando stayed by my side, always touching a piece of me, one way or another.

After dinner, Kelley and I clean up as the boys go to see Lando's new setup. I hear a scream from upstairs and realise it's Charlotte.

Kelley and I look at each other before running upstairs, we're the last to arrive in Lando and I's bedroom.

Everyone turns to us and stare at us and I raise an eyebrow. "What's going on?" I ask confused.

Charlotte is grinning and starts squealing in what seemed like excitement.

I then realise she's holding something. Lando is looking back and forth between me and what she holds.

"Baby, are you—are you pregnant?" Lando asks softly with a bright smile and walk up to me.

I raise an eyebrow at him confused.

What?
