THREE MONTHS LATER
Spa Francochamps, BELGIUMApproaching the sixth month of the pregnancy, Anita is already experiencing backpains so her doctors advised her to start wearing her back brace. She was also asked to lessen her movements. It's not complete bed rest but it's quite close to that as they approach the third trimester.
Charles was in Belgium for the final race before the summer break. She hasn't told him that she's been advised to go on semi-bedrest. She doesn't want to worry him when he's away racing, especially when that worry can be a distraction.
Time flies by quickly, the rough months are done and she's now enjoying the second trimester of her pregnancy. She is getting used to the baby moving inside her and observing the changes on her body. She also appreciates the support she's been getting from Victoria and one of Charles' friends in Monaco, Marta.
While on her afternoon walk to the stables, she decided to send Charles photos of her and the baby. It does make him happy whenever she'd send photos.
She can't wait to spend the summer break with Charles after almost two months of not being together. If the doctor will give her permission, they plan to spend the summer with the Sainzes in a private island in Greece. Victoria is also planning a gender reveal party for them so some friends and family will be joining them.
She already had her ultrasound but she is waiting for Charles so they can open the results together. For Anita, a healthy baby is all she prays for.

Charles just finished his training session with Andreas when he heard his phone buzz. It's Anita so he went inside the locker room to get some privacy.When he opened the message it was a photo of a very pregnant Anita in the stables. She's wearing a crop top that exposes her bare belly and a bucket hat. Charles couldn't hold his smile. He may have lost the past two races but his life now meant more than just racing. During the summerbreak he needs to talk to Anita about their living arrangement once the baby is born. He would prefer to have them in Monaco whenever there are long breaks and in the UK when he's away. It depends on what Anita's plans are with her shop.
In adjusting to the life of being a parent, it also helps that one of his best friends, Riccardo, is also a new father. He and his partner, Marta, always checks on him and Anita and gives advise.
While on a cool down, he decided to Facetime Anita to check on how she's doing. They spoke briefly this morning but he was rushing to the gym for a schedule with Andreas.
