It was about 6 in the morning and luckily Jules wasn't awake, but someone clearly was.

I accidentally overheard someone talking loudly, "So what now, do I have to go," and it turned out to be Lando. He was frustrated because he just found out about an event happening at 7 pm today, and he had to attend. He couldn't believe no one had told him earlier. I left the room to look for him and found him standing there.

I asked if everything was okay since he was usually not awake at this time. He explained that he had to go to an event for McLaren, where he needed to impress people so they would agree to let him come back in September. Basically, he needed to make a good impression and "kiss ass" to secure his position.

"They also just want to check in on how I'm doing. It turns out my merchandise is still selling well, so they want me to show up, take some pictures, and give people what they want. It was a bit surprising, and I didn't expect this at all," he said.

Choosing to get Jules, who was peacefully napping in the cozy stroller, became my mission. With gentle steps, I carefully lifted him, hoping the calmness of his nap would remain undisturbed. Coming down the stairs with maximum care, I was hoping he didn't wake up anytime soon.

Upon reaching the welcoming ambiance of the living room, I settled Jules into his second stroller that was downstairs. There's a special joy in having his company while I engage in the comforting art of cooking.

We discussed what to have for breakfast and ended up agreeing on waffles and omelets.

    Lando: so how's Charles
Stella: he's doing good. Got p7 last week so I had to be on call with a very moody Leclerc.
          Lando: *laughs sarcastically* At least he can drive, but it's tough for me when I watch F1 or see posts from the drivers. I get heartburn. I know I should feel happy for them, and I am. But it really hurts not being able to be there with them.
Stella: look, Lando. Something horrible just happened to you, I'm sorry. But right now you have to recover and be the best person for yourself. You have to regain your strength and canceling on your trainer every day ISN'T going to help you be better when you return. You have to start soon because then it'll be too late.
     Lando: yeah I know. But I usually do this with Oscar from 6-11:45 am. I'm used to training with him so all of this is a little out of my comfort zone. And don't apologize, Stella, how many times do I have to tell you that none of this was your fault, let it go Stella...please
Stella: I'm not sure but the car crashing into you is forever engraved in my head. It happened right in front of me, I felt completely useless when it happened, seeing your car drift off because another car crashed into you was terrifying!  Wait, Lando... You know what? since Jules doesn't wake up until 10 most of the time maybe I can go with you. Since you are used to someone's company, just imagine me as Oscar. You know; just less annoying.
Lando: would you actually go with me; if so we can start tomorrow
               Stella: if you'll actually dedicate your time, give it all you got to be the best when you return. Then yes.
Lando: then get your babysitter for tomorrow, also are you able to leave Jules with Elliot today? I really don't want to go alone to the event
Stella: Yeah I'll ask Abby and Elliot later on

     We heard a noise coming from the stairs and looked over, "ask Abby and Elliot what?" Said Elliot. He walked up to my plate and took my bacon and blueberries, "Can you take care of Julie Bean today, also probably every day until September from 6 am-1 pm? It's for his training, I'm going with him, he's off at 11:30 but knowing us we'd probably want to eat, and drive after, if you can't I understand"

     He seemed to think about it and rolled his eyes, "Just kidding I would love to take care of this little man, he doesn't wake up until 10 every day so that's a win. I'll be back though, I need a shower" he walked upstairs and we quickly cheered because we found a baby sitter. I gave him his plate and we ate in silence. While taking a sip of my water I heard yelling come from upstairs and Lando and I shared a confused look. "Interesting," said Lando. We had no idea what that was about until I heard very loud footsteps, it was Abby. "You look mad, don't yell because he's sleeping," I said, She looked at us crossing her arms and tapping her foot on the wooden floor that echoes loudly, "So you mean to tell me that Elliot gets to watch Jules every day until September. That's not fair! Why don't I get him?? Why wouldn't you ask me, Stella? I'm way more trustworthy" Lando I glanced at each other, on the other hand, I felt like laughing because I remembered a time when I thought no one would want to take care of Jules, yet here they were arguing about who would have him every morning. " okay fine, you Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday you and Elliot can switch now and then" her grumpiness quickly disappears and left us.
