...AND FOR THE FIRST TIME IN FORMULA 1 CHARLES LECLERC IS CHAMPION OF THE WORLD!

He crossed the line first, everyone cheered up in the garage. I was still shocked, i hugged Pascale tight as we both started crying.

He finally did it. After everything we've gone through. All the missed races, all the lost ones, all the arguments...

It was worth it.

Ferrari helped us to make our way to the podium. I was still a little shaken up from everything. I was crying, from happiness and relief.

Charles parked his car and got on top of it, rasing his arms in the air, then pointing to the sky.

He slowly stepped on the ground and made his way to us.

Charles*

I crossed the line first. Oh my god. I did it!

After everything, I did it!

I parked my car Infront of my team and family and got on it. I pointed to the sky. This one is dedicated to my dad and Jules.

The people who helped me get into F1, the ones who believed in me till their last breath.

I did it for them.

I took off my helmet and balaclava and put them aside. I ran to my team and hugged them.

Ferrari finally did it. After so much years waiting, and i was proud they did it with me.

My family was aside looking me with so much pride in their eyes. I shared a look with Maddy, she was looking so happy and proud, holding Mateo and Lya in her arms. She looked little shaken up but it was probably because all of the adrenaline.

I made my way to them, i hugged my mom firstly, she whispered me something but i didn't even heard it.

I was too happy to even listen properly.

Arthur and Lorenzo also hugged me tightly, expressing their happiness.

I hugged Maddy and Mateo tightly, they were the ones who didn't gave up on me. Even when i was a mess sometimes.

Maddy cried in my arms for e few seconds, it was happy tears. Lya reached for me and I took her in my arms for a moment.

I kissed her forehead gently and passed her to Maddy again.

I stood Infront of the mic, listening to the crowd chanting my name.

"World champion Charles! How can you express everything right now?"
"I don't have words right now! I'm thankful to my team and family who stood behind me in every situation during the whole season." I looked at Maddy and she nodded smiling.
"That's amazing! I'm sure everyone are so proud of you right now! Enjoy your championship!" I nodded and waved at the crowd.

Max congratulate me, it was a great battle. He was a competitive rival and I'm thankful for him because he pushed me over my limits today and whole season.

I got on the podium and took the first place. I looked down at Maddy and everyone, she was trying to wipe her tears. She was so sweet.

I wasn't able to hold my tears also, being a champion is an emotional thing.

They played the Monegasque anthem and i looked up at the sky and started singing it quietly. Still tears in my eyes.

They gave me the trophy and i lifted it and pointed to the sky again, then down to everyone.

It felt magical.

I went down and we went to the garage, the celebrations started there. We were going to a club later but now..family time.

I went to Maddy, she hugged me tight, crying again.

"I'm so so so proud of you!" She said hugging me tightly.
"I wouldn't have made it without you. I love you so much." I kissed her passionately.
"Your mom went to the hotel with the kids, I'm going to help her to settle them, I'll see you in the club." She kissed my cheek and i nod smiling.
"Do you need my help?"
"Are you serious! Go and celebrate!" She laughed and pushed me to the team who were celebrating already.

Maddy*

I helped Pascale to settle the kids and got ready for tonight. I calmed down a little because all the emotions were overwhelming in a good way.

"Thank you for staying with them." I said as i putted my heels on.
"No worries Maddy! Go enjoy your night with Charles!" She hugged me tight and i returned it.
"Thank you for not giving up on him. I know sometimes he can be unbelievable but..he loves you."
"I know, i love him more. He is the one for me. Thank you for raising such an amazing person."

Charles was an amazing person, he took so much care of me and the kids even when he was busy.

I arrived at the club with Kelly and Kika. We entered and saw Max, Charles and Pierre already drinking hard, dancing around.

"I think they are already drunk." Kika said laughing and pointing to Pierre and Charles who were hardly keeping their balance.
"I think so." I laughed also.

We had much more quiet night than the boys, at the end of the evening someone needs to get them to the hotel.

"How are you feeling? You're quiet." Kika asked me handing me a drink.
"I'm fine, I'm happy. Just..still processing everything. There's still some things me and Charles need to do." I sighed, meaning the wedding. Another episode of stress.
"Don't think about whatever it is! Your future husband is world champion!" She kissed my cheek and i smiled, seeing Charles and Pierre approaching us.

"Come dance with me." He shouted because the music was loud.
"Baby, you know I can't dance." I laughed shaking my head but he still dragged me on the dance floor.

His hand were on my hips, my arms were wrapped around his neck.

We had a great time i can't lie.

Around 5am we were heading to the hotel. I was supporting Charles so he can walk without falling on me.

"Thank you." He said happily.
"Oh please shut up you're being an idiot when you are drunk." I laughed it out, thinking it's another drunk thought.
"No darling, about everything." He slurred. I returned a smile and continue walking with him.

We entered our hotel room, his mom was sleeping on the bed, Lya and Mateo on theirs.

I dragged Charles to lay on the couch so i can go and change that dress, take a shower and join him.

"Don't be too loud. Your mom and the kids are sleeping." I whispered to him and he nod with an playful look.

I took a long shower, trying to wash off all the worries i had in my head. I wasn't ready about the wedding stress and the actual wedding.

I was ready to marry Charles but definitely not ready for how the whole world will react to it...

I joined Charles on the couch, i layed on top of him and closed my eyes.

"Don't give up on me." We both whispered.

This is actually the end of the story :(
There will be few epilogues but still take it as the end of this story.

I don't know if there will be a second story for this but i definitely had something in my mind for it.
