Unwanted, wanted - F1 fanfic

Part 20

The three men sat around the living room, Corinne moved to sit beside Arthur. He grabbed his twin's hand and held it tight. Pascale took a breath before looking at her children. For the first time she saw all of them together and it made her extremely happy.

"Boys I don't want you to hate me or your father for what happened back then," She said. "Mama like Cori said, we only want the truth. Whatever it is, you can tell us, would never hate you or Pa," Charles said. "Yes, even though he's not my father, he will always be my pa. And you are my mother nothing can change that." Arthur commented.

She took a breath before starting to explain. "Herve and I were having trouble in our relationship, You two (Charles & Lorenzo) won't remember but we were separated for a few months, Your father had been with a woman while he was away at a race and I was angry, so I went out and I met Henry. He was such an amazing person. We spent the evening together and saw each other a few times.

Herve and I eventually fixed things between us and we were okay... until I found out I was pregnant. We both know the child wasn't his and Herve was mad. He told me we were to give the baby up. He did not want to raise a child that wasn't his.

We learned that I was having twins and that it was one boy and one girl. Around the same time, people found out I was pregnant. So Herve said that we were only to keep the boy and when I tried to argue he would say he would take Charles and Lorenzo. And at the time losing one child was better than losing all.

I got back in contact with Henry and told him I was pregnant with a girl and that I could not take care of her. So when you two were born and we went home from the hospital, I called Henry and asked him to meet me by the church.

He took you Corinne and said he would take good care of you. So I carried life on as if Arthur was my last born knowing that you were in good hands." She finished speaking, and Pascale was fully crying now.

Corinne kissed Arthur's hand and let go of his hand, she quickly pulled the older woman into her arms, "I'm so sorry Corinne. I know it wasn't right, but I did what I thought was best. I'm so so sorry." She said repeating how sorry she was.

"Pascale, you need not to apologize. I can't say that I understand but I am not a mother, so I can't judge you or your actions. Yes, I would have loved to have known that I had brothers and to have gotten to know them sooner but I understand it was a decision that was made. I had an amazing childhood and from what the boys have told me so did they. So let's start fresh, and try and build a relationship."

"Yes, please I would really like that," Pascale said. Soon the whole family was in a tight group hug. Once the tears ended and everyone had calmed down and sat down they started talking about life and how things have been going at the hotels. Charles and Arthur's racing careers, Pascale's hair solan, and everything else.

"Before I forget, can we still come to watch you debate this weekend?" Charles asked. "If you want to, the competition is here in Venice at the hotel the boys and I are staying at. Max and Mick will also be there so you are welcome. It's just boring when we are in prep time but the restaurant is open to all." Corinne replied.

"You do debating?" Pascale asked. "Yes, I am one of the current national debating champions. I also work for the UN as a representative of absent countries." "What does that mean?" Arthur asked. "Countries that can't attend one of the UN meetings will have a representative such as myself stand in for them. But yes if you would like to come on Saturday just give me a call and I'll have a table and sets booked for you. Universities often bring law students to come and watch the events so the sets get full quickly."

Corinne's phone started ringing, she saw it was Mick, We were outside – My German prince

Ï guess that's your queue to leave?"Arthur said with a pout. "It is," Corinne replied smiling. "Well, we won't keep you. I don't need an angry Dutchman and a fussy German knocking down my door." Charles said smiling. "Okay see you all soon," Corinne said walking to the door.

"If you are not busy tomorrow join us and our partners for dinner tomorrow and you can bring Mick and Max," Lorenzo said. "I will talk to them about it and let you know. Bye."
