Leah Gray's POV

We were in our camper and I had just woken up to the noise from the Formula 1 paddock. The sun had just started to rise, casting a golden hue over the paddock when the first light of the day pierced the curtains of our camper

Toto lay peacefully next to me, his deep, rhythmic breathing a stark contrast to the adrenaline-charged world he inhabited. I couldn't help but smile at the sight of him. The man who commanded the Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 team with unwavering determination was also the gentle soul who had stolen my heart. He is so dominant and demanding but has a soft spot for me and our little one. I can't wait to give birth and to hug him!

Today was race day and for Toto, the weight of the team's expectations rested heavily on his shoulders. He is anxious, he knows how to hide his emotions, but I know him well enough

As I carefully got out of bed, I stroked my growing belly.

After a quick shower and a snack, I joined Toto in the small kitchen of our camper. He was focused on his laptop, going over yesterday's training data. His eyes, a striking shade of brown, met mine and he gave me a tired but reassuring smile.

"Good morning my love" he said and reached out to stroke my cheek gently.

I leaned into his touch, feeling a rush of warmth. "Good morning Toto. Are you feeling ready for today?"

He sighed, put his laptop aside and took my hand in his. "I'm ready as I'll ever be. The team did their job and now it's my turn to do mine."

Over time I had learned that Formula 1 was not just a job for Toto; it was a passion that ran deep in his veins. I admired his dedication, even if it meant more often than not spending race weekends apart.

As the morning unfolded, we headed to the Mercedes garage together. The air was thick with anticipation, the deafening roar of the engines drowning out all other sounds.

With each passing minute, the tension grew. I settled into the garage, placing my hand protectively on my growing belly. He knew Toto was a master at holding back his emotions, but I couldn't help but worry about him.

Finally the moment has come. Toto stepped onto the pit wall, put on his headphones and assumed his role as team director. I watched him as he watched the race, eyes fixed on the screens in front of him. Every decision he made had the potential to affect the outcome of the race.

Toto's composure never wavered, even as the race unfolded with its usual mix of drama and unpredictability. Every pit stop, every strategic move brought the team closer to victory.

And then, when the checkered flag waved and the Mercedes car crossed the finish line in first place, I felt a rush of relief. Toto did it again, leading his team to victory. And not just him, it was a team victory!

Toto's expression as he stepped off the pit wall was a mixture of jubilation and exhaustion. He rushed to me and wrapped me in a tight hug. "We did it," he whispered, his voice filled with emotion.

I smiled with tears of joy in my eyes. "You did it Toto. I'm so proud of you. But let's not forget the boys too"

As we stood there amidst the celebrations of the Mercedes team, I couldn't help but feel that our love was like a Formula 1 race - fast, full of twists and turns, but ultimately an exciting journey that they embark on together, no matter what what's ahead.

"Look who's here" I heard Sir Hamilton's voice and when I turned I saw Roscoe

"Rosco!"I immediately went to the little puppy and hugged him

"Wolf just got replaced by Roscoe" Lewis joked and Toto raised an eyebrow

"Leah sit down you know it's not good to sit squatting for a long time" And he was right. It was hard for me to stand up but Toto helped me and I sat on one of the chairs and Lewis put Roscoe on my lap

"How is the little racer? When will he come out to beat him on the track"

"Let's just say he's going to beat you up...and you won't be nearly 60 by then" Lewis rolled his eyes and Toto laughed

Toto and I didn't spend much time at the party because he insisted that I rest. I'm glad that he thinks so much of me.We got home and we had already eaten so we could just go and sleep
