Third POV

5 years later....2028

Charles Leclerc became world champion for the fourth time in his career, something he deserved and worked hard for. Elle watched as he celebrated his win, a smile planted on her face that would never leave.

"Dada won, Dada won," her five year old said as Jules eyes brightened, looking up at her father. AJ was standing with Arthur at the side of the podium.

"Eyes never lie," Pascale says beside her "god my little boy loves you," Elle smiled at her as Charles winks at his wife.

"Where are we going?' Kika asks the blonde beside her. "We've been driving around in circles for ages,"

"Can't I want to spend time with you?"

"We still live together Elle how much more time do you want to spend with me?" The pair finally pulled up to their home. The truth was she was making time for the boys to set everything up.

Pierre had never been so nervous that he saw a future with Kika, and he was about to seal the deal.

2030

Kika and Pierre finally got married and moved out of the Leclerc house. It wasn't quite for long as Arthur soon moved in after the two left.

AJ and Jules both followed in their parents' footsteps by karting. Jules loved to play piano and sat next to her mother and father.

"Do you think they'll want to do this in the future?" Charles asks he had now retired from racing and focused more on making music with his wife and the kids' karting career.

"I think they'll want to go further, especially with you by their side,' Elle replies.

"Only if that's what they want," he replied.

2031

"Kika, are you in there," Elle asks, knocking on the bedroom door.

She places her ear against the door, hearing sniffles. She pushed the door open, finding Kika sat on the bed crying

"Kika," Elle rushes over, sitting beside her. "What's wrong?"

"I'm pregnant,"

"Is this a bad thing?"

"Not for me. I've always loved children, and since you had the twins and I've been around them more I've wanted them," elle nods listening to her "but I know Pierre doesn't he loves kids yeah but when we talk about having our own he says he doesn't want them that he wants to focus on his career,"

"Maybe he's just scared. Don't get me wrong, he's amazing with these kids, but it's different when their your own,"

"We're married now we've been together all these years, and he still doesn't want to try or even talk about it. What am I supposed to do?"

"Baby?" Elle, look up seeing Pierre stood there looking confused.

"I'll leave you two alone," the blonde takes her into her arms, hugging her. "Call me later," she nods. Elle walks past, placing her hand on Pierres' arm

"Just listen to her. Don't talk," he nods before she walks out.

2032

"Jacques needs his nappy changing," Kika places the baby into Pierres' arms. "It's your turn."

It turned out that Kika was worrying for nothing. Pierre was over the moon when she told him the news he couldn't think of anything better, sure he was scared, but he had now had practice and was ready more than ever.

Jacques Charles Gasly was born earlier this year adding another name to their little family the four had made sure they weren't related by blood but blood doesn't make family not all the time anyway family is also the ones you choose and they all chose each other.

2033

"Happy birthday, Elle," the group says, putting their glasses together.

"I know that it's my night to celebrate, but I also wanted to share this night with Arthur," Arthur frowned. "earlier today, I got a phone call from a certain man named Fred," she smiled. Arthur looked up at her, confused.

"Fred?" She nodded.

"You've been in F2 for a while now, and he said that you've grown into an amazing driver like you, brother," he nods, smiling. "He wants to offer you the seat at Ferrari alongside Ollie,"

"You're kidding, right?" He jumps up. Elle shakes her head.

"They really want you," Arthur wraps his arms around her smiling he hadn't had a great start to F2 he took a break after his second year thinking her wasnt good wnough and that he wouldn't make it since returning he put his all into the sport and its finally paid off.

Everything was going right for the group they were all happy, and moving forward with their lives, most had settled down some made families but no matter were the world or universe took them they would always find themselves seated at this table at the end of the month they always made their way back to each other never wanting to lose the bond they had made.

The end
