"Every time he came back home he'd hand me his shoelaces from the boots he'd raced in, he bought me a metal key ring so I could tie them there and then he would go on to tell me everything about the race." I was so fascinated, he...he could see how excited I was to get a new shoelace to add to my collection waiting for him to narrate the race to me." I laughed remembering the memories. "I know it's silly but it meant so much to me and...it's what I have left of him." You tried to suppress your tears staring up at the laces that hung on your accent wall in your living room, the black, white, red laces...34 of them when there should've been more...way more.
"I never knew you were so close to Jules, I guess I only ever heard about Charles's relationship with him." Alex's voice was soft sweet as you both sat on your couch chatting. Alex's hand rested on her big baby bump.
"Yeah he was Enzo's best friend, Arthur's and Charles's hero but I guess I could never really tell the difference between them all, I spent so much of my childhood around them to me they were all my brothers, Jules was my older brother just like Enzo." This time you couldn't stop the tears. "When he was in the hospital I cried to him begging him to come back, he still owed me his laces...and after he passed Philippe he handed me the laces, and told me that Jules had asked him to give them to me if anything ever happened to him." You sniffed, wiping your tears. "They always say it gets easier but...it really doesn't. I miss him, I miss Dad, and Antoine every day, and the ache never really gets any less painful."
You looked up and saw Alex wiping a few of her tears. "I'm sorry, these hormones." She sniffled and you both laughed. "I wish I could've met them." She held your hand.
"Yeah...I do too." You squeezed her hand in appreciation. "But enough crying we have a new family member coming our way and I can't wait to tell her all about them." You rubbed circles over Alex's bump.
Just like you'd promised your brother you'd been watching over Alex while he was away for another race weekend, you'd switch between staying between your family home/your mom's place and yours and Juan's apartment avoiding going out so much to avoid more media chaos.
Charles was going to be back at the end of the week and coming to pick Alex up, the same day you were driving to Nice with Juan for a sponsored event you were accompanying him to. You were nervous, despite it being so close this was the first time you were leaving Monaco since Alex had reached the 9-month mark.

You wore a white dress to the event, standing alongside your boyfriend who kept a hand around your waist at all times.
"How did you meet? how long have you been together?" One of the businessmen you were conversing with asked.
You and Juan turned to look at each other lovingly sharing a smile as to asking who would answer. You nodded gesturing for him to go on.
"Well we've actually known each other for a couple of years and we met through her brothers who I was friends with in racing-" Juan answered and you both noticed how the businessman looked at you confused trying to pinpoint if he'd seen you before.
