The sleek black Aston Martin pulled into the driveway.
"Home sweet home!!" Nicolas said, "to deal with the damage control!"
"What could we possibly have to deal with?" Shantelle asked as she allowed him to unlock their front door.
The sweet and sickly, intoxicating smell of fresh flowers hit them at once.
"Dad pre-warned me before we left Las Vegas, apparently everyone knows, not only in F1 but all around the world..." Nicolas said as they reached their living room.
"Oh...my...God!" Shantelle exclaimed in absolute shock, seeing the many, many bunches of flowers and cards that filled their home.
Sacha was sitting on the lounge trying to make it as if he was invisible.
"Sacha Oliver Nelson Daniel Prost!" Shantelle growled, seeing her brother-in-law.
Slowly he gazed up at his brother's wife "Welcome back, my sister!" He said, trying not to look guilty "How was the honeymoon?"
She was now in front of him, the anger in her eyes.
"It was the best time of my life, my brother!" She snarled "until I read a Tweet that you had written!"
Sacha rubbed the back of his neck and said "yeah....about that... I may have..."
"I did it!" Victoria blurted out, holding a bunch of purple roses that hadn't been put in a vase yet.
"YOU. DID. WHAT??" Alain demanded.
"I used Sacha's Twitter account to spread the news; I thought I was doing a good thing, but the test ended up positive..."
Nicolas's head snapped up from smelling an arrangement of orchids.
"Mon amour? Then maybe you ARE pregnant!"
She gave him a sympathetic look and rolled up her coat, a small band-aid covering a needle mark.
"No, I went to my doctor, here in the city and had a test done, it came back negative, he seems to think I didn't do the home pregnancy test correctly and I am still getting my periods, I had one when we were in New York," Shantelle said "I am not ready to have a baby yet Nicolas Jean. Are you?"
"To be totally honest, no I'm not, there are places I want you to see Shantelle my dearest, and you can't do that if you are pregnant or if we have little ones running around, sorry Sacha but you'll become an Uncle in good time! And as for you Victoria, can I give you a piece of wisdom?"
"Yes, Nico," She said, the tears rimming her soft brown eyes.
He tenderly wiped them away and said softly "Twitter, is not for broadcasting our most private business my sister, I know the thought of us having a baby is exciting and the best news in the world but, when Shantelle didn't know herself, no wonder why she didn't post a Tweet!"
"I'm so sorry Nico, I just got excited! What are we going to do?" She sobbed
Nicolas smiled and said, "I'll post a Tweet in a moment; most people will see it and get the message that we aren't expecting a baby!"
"Still..." Shantelle said, "Aren't the flowers just breathtaking!?"

Monaco Grand Prix
Kimi was on a mission, he was hell-bent on finding Nicolas.
"ICEMAN!!" The fans screamed hysterically causing him to cringe, so he ignored them, for he was hunting, hunting for blood....French blood.
