Why did we wait this long

The next day you're getting ready for work for the Las Vegas Grand Prix. "Charles?" "yes?" "does this cover my belly enough?" "yeah it's fine you ready to go now?" "yeah let's go". You arrived and go to the McLaren garage to see Zak "hey y/n! you're back!" "yes I am! Thanks for letting me take the yesterday off" Zak smiles at you and Lando comes over to you and Zak walks off "hey how are you?" "well I'm a little tired" "yeah the doctor said you would be" "yeah I'm definitely tired like all the time" "why aren't you wearing orange?" "I don't own anything baggy in orange and I don't want the press to know about my pregnancy yet" "oh okay why?" "well if they found out I'm pregnant and there's not been any pictures of us for weeks it won't go so well" "okay fair" "anyways I gotta go I've got to interview Oscar" "bye have fun"

Your interview with Oscar: "Hello everyone I'm here with Oscar Piastri" "hi y/n thanks for having me" "no problem Oscar today I'll just be asking you some questions" "okay let's start" "how do you feel that we've only got one race left of the 2023 season after todays race?" "I do feel sad but I have achieved so much this year and I'm so grateful" "yeah you've had a really amazing year do you feel the McLaren family has helped you?" "yeah the McLaren family has been an amazing help as always we have such an amazing team" "talking about the McLaren family how is lans- oh sorry I meant Lando" "no it's fine continue" "how is Lando as a teammate?" "Lando is the best teammate I could ask for he's always down for a laugh but he's also there when I need support" "that sounds like a great teammate" "yeah he really is you're lucky to have him" "awh thank you. Back to the questions" you laugh but you couldn't help but feel a little upset knowing he's not yours right now "alright!" "how do you feel you will perform in the 2024 season?" "I think I will do a lot better this was my rookie year and it's taught me a lot of good things and bad things" "alright thanks Oscar I think that's all we can fit in today but good luck with the race!"

During the Las Vegas race Charles pushes Lando into the wall causing him to DNF. Lando gets out of the car shouting "I hate him I hate him!!" "Lando calm down" you say trying to calm down Lando "I can't I'm so annoyed" "talk about it" "he's been annoying me all day and now I don't finish a race because of him!" "what's he been doing?" "nothing don't worry about it" "no talk you need to get it out" "when you were sleeping on my shoulder he kept wanting me to wake you up but I kept saying no because you were tired." "okay what else?" "now not me finishing a race!!" "what else?" "I know this wasn't today but he kissed you! And he shouldn't do that your mine not his to kiss! I just feel like he wants you and I'm scared of losing you because I love you" you pull Lando into a hug "I love you Lando" "I love you y/n" you and Lando kiss passionately

After the race Charles goes up to Lando "what the fuck mate?" "don't act like you're all innocent" "I haven't done anything wrong!!" "You pushed me into the wall!! And you kissed my girlfriend!" "you guys were on a break it doesn't count" "well to me it fucking does" "calm down lad" "why should I? you kissed her and that's messed up and you've got a girlfriend anyway that's just fucked up" "it was a mistake okay?" "okay? You haven't even said sorry" Lando got closer to Charles and he was clearly mad but before Lando could do anything security comes in "break it up boys" he said firmly "No he's being a dickhead" Lando said "I haven't done anything!!" "look I get y/n is fit but bros before hoes right?" "she is not a hoe what the fuck how dare you call her a hoe?!" Lando exclaimed "that's uncalled for" "Mate she cheated on you and you're defending her?" the security asked don't call me mate she didn't cheat on me and you have no right calling her a hoe" "I dunno why you're getting so pressed over a girl" "just a girl? I made a promise to her that I would marry her so she's more than just a girl" "pretty shitty promise if you ask me" "well I didn't ask you so you have no right to slag her off you don't even know her! You don't know how amazing she is and how kind she is and how lucky I am to have her!" Charles sees Lando getting so upset he walks away "even your little sob story made your friend walk off" "he's not my friend anymore" "I don't really care" "look you had no right to speak about my girlfriend like that you don't even know her personally" "can you just leave me alone now I was trying to do my job and break up a fight not listen to your love life" "mate you're the one that started calling her a hoe" "whatever" the security guard walks off as you walk over after hearing all of it "baby I'm sorry he called you that" "no it's okay I know it wasn't your fault" "but you shouldn't be treated like that" "did you mean all of what you said?" "yes of course I did you're my whole world" Lando kissed your cheek "I meant every single word"
