NEW YEAR'S DAY : MAX VERSTAPPEN

I

Louise POV

I'm currently in Paris waiting for my mom in her office as I have an appointment for my contract with them for Dior. I'm 17 weeks pregnant and my mother doesn't like the idea of me being pregnant as that would mean that I have to cancel all of my scheduled shoots for them for this year. I'm doing modeling but not full time. I just do it on my family's brand and the stint with Dior has been successful for years. I own a business that's why I don't really need to do modeling, however my mom liked me modeling our brands so I just do it and I always find it fun anyways.

Max Calling......

"Hi babe"

"Hey babe, just want to ask if you're still in monaco?"

"No. I'm already in France, sorry I forgot to text you earlier"

"Okay please inform me next time, I was worried"

"Okay okay. I'll do that next time, sorry I was just super occupied earlier. I'm currently waiting in my mom's office. I'll update you later and I will be back in Monte-Carlo tomorrow."

"What time? I'll be going home tomorrow as well"

" Huh? I thought you'll be staying there for 4 days?"

"I finished early so I'll be home tomorrow. What time are you leaving?"

"11 am I have a breakfast scheduled with my grandfather"

"Okay I think I'll be going home earlier than you just text me if you want me to fetch you from the airport"

" Oui"

"Have you talked to your dad about the announcement?"

"Not yet. Have you talked to Christian? Because people will soon notice that I'm pregnant Max. They're already noticing my weight gain. I'll talk to my dad, maybe tomorrow after the doctor's appointment." I sighed I don't really like talking with my dad yet we're still not in talking terms after I told him that I was pregnant last January. My dad was very disappointed. It was the 2nd time seeing him disappointed at me and it's the first time that he doesn't want to talk to me. I suddenly want to cry as I remember his face when I told him that I'm pregnant , a tear escaped from my eyes and i wiped it out. I hate pregnancy hormones. It makes me cry easily lately and it's not funny.

" Babe?" I snapped out of my thoughts when i heard Max's worried voice

"Oh sorry I was wondering if i forgot to remove the hair dryer earlier. Have you told Christian about the plans for the announcement?" I lied because the last thing I want right now is Max not focusing on whatever his schedule for today in Red Bull's.

" Yep. He said it's okay he already asked the PR team for a draft last week so all we need to tell him is a go signal. Are you okay? Do you still feel nauseous like the last time? Or does your head still hurt?"

"I'm fine , don't worry. And the doctor said the nausea was normal for the 2nd trimester, don't overthink okay? And that's good I'll just talk to Papa about it tomorrow so we can give a go signal to your team" I said trying to calm him down because last time he saw me feeling nauseous and vomiting he panicked.

"Sorry baby I have to go now they're already calling me. I love you okay? Please take care of yourself and the little one. update me if your meeting with your mom is done"

" Ich liebe dich auch. And yes I'll update you later. and Babe? Go now don't give the marketing a headache today HAHAHAHA" I ended the call after saying it to stop him from rambling.

Thankfully after I ended the call my Mother entered the office and we discussed the contract for this year and the scheduled shoots I have to cancel this year. As expected my mom wasn't ecstatic about it but she knows she can't do anything anyways. As I head to the door " You're making the same mistake I did with you Jeanne" she coldly said. Typical mom I know she doesn't like me that much and that me being pregnant reminds her of the situation she's in before but I won't let anyone call my child a mistake. I won't allow anyone to tell him or her what they used to tell me.
