Belonging to the Iceman

Back Doing What The Iceman Does Best

"So WHAT are you going to wear to the season opener in Melbourne?" Delphine asked her best friend over the phone as she fed her face with a block of white chocolate.

Shantelle was busy watching Amber.

"Don't know, but I did have my eye on the brand new Red Bull Racing hoodie" She answered

"Oh Come on!! It's Formula One!!" Delphine whined.

"Feel free to 'hang' with Minttu and Dasha then, and the rest of the ladies then!" Shantelle growled.

"Okay! Okay! I get you!" Delphine said. "Would you wear 8J's clothes then?"

"Absolutely! If you get me that shirt that says Racecar..."

"Spelt Backwards is still Racecar" Delphine finished, "BUT if I get you that shirt, you've got to wear my favourite orange jacket!"

"As long as it goes with the shirt, Dedeline!" Shantelle said, with a grin.

"need a pair of jeans?" She asked.

"Please," Shantelle said, "That'd be great!"

"Traditional blue or grey-black?" Delphine asked.

"Whatever you think is best Dedeline!" Shantelle said, "You are the Creative Director!"

"Oh, I love it when you say that!!" Delphine said happily, but then she held her stomach "oooh, oooh, Oh!"

"Are you okay Dedeline?" She asked.

"It's okay, I just felt...oh Sacha's home! See you soon my Sister!" She said

Shantelle couldn't help but laugh as she watched Kimi come into the master bedroom and begin playing with their daughter.

"Was that our crazy sister and your Aunty Mrs Sacha Prost?" He said to the beautiful blue-eyed baby "Was that Dedeline? Was that Dedeline and Mummy talking about what they're going to wear in Melbourne? Girls huh? They just LOVE shoes and bags and makeup!"

"And CHOCOLATE!" Shantelle said, taking a bite out of some Finnish Chocolate he had bought for her.

Paula took her granddaughter from her son "Hello! My beautiful little Amber, five days of pure heaven with you in the house!" She said happily.

"Now are you sure you'll be fine with her Paula?" Shantelle asked.

"Please, daughter! I gave birth to Rami and Kimi, Amber is an Angel compared to them! Now go! And have a good time!"

Kimi kissed his mother and said "thank you, Mum"

Sacha and Kimi cringed as their wives squealed and hugged as they finally met in the paddock

"Get a room, you two weirdos!" Dasha said nastily as she walked past like she owned the paddock.

"And that is?" Delphine asked.

"That's Dasha remember, one of the most annoying, skinny, stuck-up F1 Ladies in the entire Paddock..."

"And Hello Mrs Räikkönen" Came Minttu's voice.

"Minttu" Kimi said, politely.

"Oh Hello Kimi, good luck this season! I think you'll do really well this year at Red Bull!" She said, fluttering her eyelashes.

"Thank you Minttu, what brings you here in Melbourne?" Kimi asked

"Oh, Charles Pic and I are together, he got a drive with Mercedes now that Lewis took over from Nico... oh did you hear that he's a Stockman chasing dirty, stinking cows in the desert of Australia and that he's shacked up with the Vet of the Station? Just thought you ladies might want to know as you both had him!"

But before she could turn on her heels Kimi's voice stopped her.

"Minttu, come back here" He growled "I was Head Stockman of Emu Creek Station for six years, was Stockman of the Year and performed at the Australian Outback Spectacular, and I DID NOT chase dirty, stinking cows across the desert of Australia, I mustered cattle across the Australian Outback...there's a difference! And if Nicolas is happy that he's found someone, that DOESN'T make my wife and my sister hoes!"

She snuck away with her tail between her legs.

Shantelle smiled and kissed him "I love you Icey, I always have and I always will!"

Sacha, Delphine and Shantelle burst into cheers as Kimi crossed the finish line to the wave of the chequered flag.

"AND OUR ICEMAN IS BACK!!!" David Coulthard yelled happily.

He would have spent hours doing interviews and posing for photos, but then when a group of fans all dressed in his team merchandise came up to him he knew he was glad to be back.

As he smiled for the last photo he saw Shantelle smiling at him.

"So, Iceman," She said as he kissed and hugged her "how does it feel to be back and in top form?"

"Wonderful Kulta!" He said, holding her "Thank you for understanding that this is what I want to do and for moving to Finland!"

"Espoo is home, as long as I have you and Amber! And you were born to race! I know you missed it!"

"ICEMAN!" Sacha bellowed, more than happy "YOU LITTLE BASTARD! YOU SMASHED THEM ALL!"

Delphine hugged Kimi and said "congratulations Kimi! When little Amber gets bigger, she'll be very proud of her Daddy!

Kimi smiled at his best friend, he had really come to trust and depend on Sacha.

"I was going to suggest that we go out for dinner to celebrate but I see Sacha's already well and truly started!" He said "and since I'm a Dad now and a husband, how about we order room service back at the Hotel?"

"Only if I can come to?" Came a familiar, American-Canadian voice.

"Jim?" Kimi stammered

"Ha, ha, ha! You bet ya!" the actor said hugging the driver. "Want to go back and order room service and watch Batman Forever?"

Kimi grinned and hugged his good friend.

"Sorry I missed the wedding but have you had Amber's christening yet?" He asked as they all walked out of the Paddock.

"Yes..." Came Sacha's voice from the door "your Isoisä definitely kicked some butt at the season opener!"

"UNCLE SACHA!" The children squealed as he hugged Delphine.

"And wasn't it just so cool, your Isoisä putting Minttu in her place?" Delphine asked.

"That's because he was Icey...the best Stockman Australia ever saw!" Sacha gloated.

"Ah your brother became a pretty darn good Stockman himself, remember Sacha?" Kimi asked, with his eyebrows raised.
