Chapter 37- Grand Prix

Toto Wolff's POV

It's been more than a month since Leah last stepped on the paddock. And today is the Grand Prix. I'm excited because I'll be on such a special day with my girlfriend and our child.

The flight went well And now we are traveling to our hotel. I hope Leah likes it so we can watch it together every year

Leah Gray's POV

My heart raced with excitement as i went through the Formula 1 paddock, hand in hand with Toto. The smell of burnt rubber, the sound of roaring engines, and the electric atmosphere of the race weekend surrounded us. It was a world away from my everyday life for the past month.

Pregnant with our first child i was in my second trimester. My baby bump was growing bigger and bigger, a constant reminder of the new adventure we were embarking on. Toto wanted me to join him for this race.It was an opportunity for us to steal a few moments away from the whirlwind of pregnancy preparations and see ourselves in his fast paced world again

As we walked down the paddock, Toto introduced me to the team members, drivers, and mechanics.And the special guests,of course. The race cars were polished to perfection and Toto's team was like a well oiled machine, and i could see the respect and camaraderie that bound them together.I can't be happier than this!I know Lewis and George ,they are an amazing duo and I think that friendship helps them in the races

Amidst the hustle and bustle, we found a moment of peace by a small garden area. Toto gently placed his hand on my baby bump and smiled.I love when he does this!

"Our little racer is experiencing their first Grand Prix," he whispered, his eyes filled with warmth and love.

My eyes twinkled as i placed my hand over Toto's.

"I can't believe we're starting a family, and our child will grow up with the thundering roar of these engines as their lullaby."I said and looked at Toto and he chuckled.

"It's a unique lullaby, that's for sure." He leaned down and kissed me, his lips soft and tender against mine

Later we watched the race from the team's hospitality suite, out hearts pounding with every lap.As the race neared its climax, our excitement was on it's higher level

In the final moments, as Toto's team's car crossed the finish line , the cheers and jubilation filled the air. Toto and me joined in the celebration, out hands once again on my baby bump. It was as though their child could sense the triumph and excitement

*******
The next day

The sun had barely begun to rise when I shifted in my hotel bed, my pregnant belly wriggling slightly under the sheets. The room was filled with the soft glow of dawn and I couldn't help but smile as I remembered the events of the previous day's Grand Prix.

Stretching and yawning, I reached for my phone on the bedside table. I had dozens of congratulatory messages and missed calls from friends and family. My heart swelled with pride at Toto's achievement and I couldn't wait to celebrate with him.

Toto was out of bed early, a habit ingrained from years in the racing world.

i took a quick shower and put on a comfortable dress that fit my growing belly. I knew Toto's post-race routine was important and I wanted to be there to share the moment with him. He deserves it

When I entered the room, Toto looked up from his laptop, his eyes lighting up when he saw me

"Good morning honey" he said, getting up and walking over to me. He kissed my forehead gently and stroked my belly

"Good morning Toto" i replied with a smile.

"You managed to beat Verstappen. You are unique" Toto laughed, a hint of modesty in his tone.

"It was a team effort, as always."

We spend a few blissful minutes in each other's arms but we heard the doorbell and Toto went to open the door

Just as always, Toto arranged a special breakfast to be delivered to our room. Fresh fruit, croissants, chocolate and coffee

While eating breakfast, we talked about our plans for the day. I was aware that in the next few days we would not have time for each other

After breakfast, Toto helped me get ready by carefully zipping up my dress and holding my hand as we left the hotel room.

We observed the runway, which was empty today, and Toto approached me with a satisfied smile.

"One more race, one more win," he said, wrapping me in his arms.

I leaned into his arms, inhaling the familiar scent of his racing jacket mixed with the day's leftover adrenaline.

Everything was unique when I was in his arms before Toto's responsibilities as team director called him away. There were team meetings, press interviews and post-race debriefings to attend to. I understood the demands of his job all too well and had always supported him, even when our lives revolved around the high-speed world of Formula 1.

In the evening I was in our hotel room looking out the window at the city lights. Soon we will be heading home, away from the glamorous world of motorsport and back to the quiet comfort of our everyday lives.As my pregnancy progresses I need a lot of rest and tire much more quickly than usual

Toto returned to the hotel room, his exhaustion showing in the lines on his face. He joined me by the window, wrapping his arms around me from behind

"I can't wait to go home," he said, resting his chin on my shoulder

"Me too, Toto. I miss our routine, our home. I thought the last month was boring but it is exactly what I need"

The next morning we boarded a private jet ready to fly back home. I settled into my seat, the soft seat hugging my tired body. Toto sat down next to me, his hand finding its place on my stomach. As the plane taxied down the runway and rose into the sky I closed my eyes, feeling the slight vibrations of the plane.

Toto leaned down and whispered to me "Our next competition is in parenting." I smiled and my heart was filled with love for the man next to me. "And this is the most important race of our lives."

On the way home I had a lot of time to think. The roar of the engines would soon be replaced by the sweet lullabies of our newborn, and the race track would become the backdrop to a different kind of adventure, that of a growing family.
