A WEEK LATER, ENGLAND

A week passed and Lilianna had returned back to England with her brother and her daughter while her parents headed back over to Northern Ireland. "Lily! I'm heading to training. I'll see you later." Paddy calls upstairs. "Okay! See you later." Lilianna says as she lays in bed, her daughter Isla cuddled in beside her.

The little girl had been up through the night being sick so she had laid in Lilianna's bed for the rest of the night and slept beside her mum. As the five-year-old laid in a deep sleep, Lilianna heard her phone buzz. The girl smiled when she saw Max sent her a message.

As soon as they ended messaging, Lilianna got a facetime request from Max. The girl immediately answers it. "Hey." the dutchman breathes when he sees her face on his screen. "Hi. How are you?" Lilianna smiles. "I'm good. You?" Max asks as he lays in his bed in his Monaco apartment. "Yeah. My brother's just left for training so it's going to be a boring day per usual." Lilianna laughs as does Max. "Okay. Well, I don't have a grand prix for two weeks meaning I'm probably going to be streaming with my friends for a bit." Max says as Lilianna smiles and nods.

Then, her jack-russell, rocko, runs into her room and jumps on her bed and barks. "What's that?" Max asks as Lilianna pets his head. "That is my jack-russell, Rocko." Lilianna smiles as she turns the camera to her dog. "He's cute. How old is he?" Max asks as Lilianna turns the camera back to her as Rocko lays down while Lilianna pets his head. "He's 2." Lilianna smiles.

The pair continue talking before Lilianna hangs up when she feels her daughter waking up. "Right, I'm going to let you get on with your day." Lilianna smiles. "Okay. Wanna call tonight?" Max asks, a hopeful look on his face. "Sure. Call you later." Lilianna smiles. The pair bid each other goodbye before hanging up. "Mummy, my tummy hurts." Isla cries as she lays on her mother's stomach. "I know baby. Do you feel like you're going to be sick?" Lilianna asks as she runs hand over Isla's head. The 5-year-old girl nods. "Okay. Come on, lets go to the bathroom so you can be sick." Lilianna says as she sits up as Isla does.

The young mum carries her daughter to the bathroom and lifts the toilet seat up. Isla stands over the toilet and throws up. Lilianna grabs her daughter's hair and ties it up with a bobble that was on the side. "I'm going to phone school and say you're not coming in because you're too poorly." Lilianna says. Isla nods while Lilianna heads into the bedroom to get her phone and call Isla's school.

After informing them that Isla won't be in, Lilianna heads back into the bathroom where Isla was washing her hands. "Come on, sweetheart. Let's go get breakfast and some medicine." Lilianna says as she picks Isla up and carries her downstairs. "Where's uncle paddy?" Isla asks, laying her head on her mum's shoulder. "He's gone training. He'll be back in a few hours." Lilianna reassures her daughter who nods.

Lilianna places Isla down on the couch before heading into the kitchen to get her some medicine and something light to eat. After breakfast was out the way, Isla was asleep on the couch as Lilianna watched Outer Banks on netflix. During the episode, the girl gets a message from Paddy.

END OF THE DAY

By night time, Lilianna had Isla settled in bed. The little girl's fever had gone down so she was settled in her own room. "How has Isla been all day?" Paddy asks, as he sits beside his sister. "She's been okay. Thrown up every now and then but overall she's managed to keep her food down since about lunch time." Lilianna says. "You're a good mum, Lily. I know you were 18 when you fell pregnant but you've done everything you can to give Isla the best life possible despite being a teenager. You should be proud of the little girl that you have raised." Paddy says as Lilianna smiles.

The pair continue to talk before watching whatever was on the TV at 9 in the night. After watching a few episodes of 'Mock The Week', Lilianna hugged her brother goodnight and heads up to bed. But, before falling asleep, Lilianna smiles when she sees a message from Max
