"Yo Lando, I'm playing with you, save some balls for me" George groaned.
I laughed. "Sorry mate, I'm just a pro"
We were playing padel with Max, George and Alex. It felt good to let some anger out, not that I was too angry but I had a lot on my mind lately.
Aimée was pregnant and it was mine. I didn't doubt that, I saw that from the look on her face.
We were gonna be parents, something we never expected, we gave up on that. But I guess this baby really wanted us as their parents.
Could you blame him? Aimée was gonna be the best mom.
I missed a few balls because I was daydreaming.
"Ey Lando, wake up" Max yelled from the other side of the court. "I am sorry, I am gonna take five minutes" I said as I walked to the side of the court and grabbed my water.
I saw Max looking at me and walked after me. George and Alex played on their own for a while.
"You okay mate?" Max asked as he sat down on the bench.
I didn't answer for a while. Aimée and I decided not to tell anyone yet but I kinda expected her to tell Kara tonight.
"Aimée is pregnant" I almost whispered. I wanted to tell someone, but definitely not to al three of them.
Max raised his eyebrow. "I thought she couldn't get pregnant?"
"That's what we thought too, but I guess my swimmers are too strong" I tried to joke a little. He chuckled as well, but not genuine.
I recognized his genuine laugh and this definitely wasn't it.
"I guess" he muttered as he grabbed his water. I just looked at him for a second. Why was he acting so weird?

"I told Verstappen that you're pregnant" I said as soon as Aimée cuddled up in my arms.
I noticed she still flinched a little whenever I touched her, so she must be still in pain. I tried to be extra soft with her even though I wanted to rip her clothes off and make love to her.
"I told Kara and Eve" she responded. "They wanted me to drink alcohol so I kinda had to tell them"
I wrapped my arms around her as she put her back against my chest. "Were they happy?" I asked as I kissed her neck from behind.
"They were so excited. It was actually cute to see" she turned her head a little so I had more places to kiss her and that was exactly what I wanted to do.
"Max wasn't so excited though" I placed another little kiss next to her ear. My lips brushed against it and just when I wanted to kiss it she turned her face.
She was frowning. "Why? What did he say?"
"Not much actually, he didn't even congratulate us"
Her mind wondered off as she looked around. "Weird" she mumbled.
Maybe it wasn't a good idea to tell Max about it. Maybe Aimée didn't want to tell him because he would tell Christian, but he would be happy for us. I was sure about that.
"But either way baby" I whispered as I let her fall on the bed and put her shirt up. It was the first time I saw the deep cut from her breast down to her belly.
Fuck, I wish I could kiss it better.
"Please, don't do that" she said as she pulled her shirt back down. "Why not?" I tilted my head.
"Because I'm ugly. I feel ugly, I have bruises and scars all over my body"
I hated to see her like this, I hated that she thought she was ugly, because in my eyes, she would always be the prettiest woman I've ever seen.
And she was mine. Holy fuck she was mine.
"But you're not ugly. You're fucking beautiful" I put my hand on her cheek and brushed her lower lip with my thumb. "You're so absolutely beautiful and there's nothing in this world that will make me think otherwise"
"Really?" She asked softly. I never saw her vulnerable like this. She pretended to be this badass to everyone else, but she could be weak with me.
Honestly, she would always be a badass in my eyes. She saved me, so I was gonna give her everything she needed.
"Really" I nodded as I brushed my lips against hers. "I am so in love with you" I moved my hand to the back of her neck and pulled her closer as I kissed her.
Deeply, passionately.
She definitely wasn't ready to take things further and I was gonna give her all the time she needed.
I was gonna prove to her how beautiful she was. I hope she's ready for a lot of mushy texts, whispers and kisses.
