Art to fall in love with /// Lando Norris

Chapter 38: Unplanned Revelations

The morning at the Zandvoort Circuit was brisk, with a misty fog rolling in off the nearby dunes. The iconic Dutch track was buzzing with the usual pre-race energy as teams and drivers prepared for the next round of training sessions. The sun was just starting to break through the clouds, casting a soft light over the paddock area.

Lando was deep into his training session, focused and determined as he maneuvered through the challenging corners of the circuit. His mind was fully on the track, but Cassy, who had arrived with the team, was struggling with a different kind of challenge.

Cassy had been feeling off since early that morning. The excitement of the race weekend, combined with her pregnancy, had left her feeling unusually nauseous. She tried to push through it, but as the training session progressed, she found herself growing increasingly uncomfortable.

After the second session, she knew she needed to take a break. She headed towards the medical tent, hoping to get some advice on managing her symptoms while pregnant. The medical staff inside were friendly and efficient, quickly assessing her condition and offering helpful advice.

"I've been feeling quite nauseous lately," Cassy explained to Dr. Stevens, a well-respected physician who had been with the team for years. "Is there anything specific I should be doing or avoiding?"

Dr. Stevens nodded sympathetically. "Nausea is quite common in early pregnancy. It's important to stay hydrated and eat small, frequent meals. Ginger tea or peppermint can also help soothe your stomach. And if you're still feeling unwell, it's best to rest as much as you can."

Cassy thanked Dr. Stevens and took a seat, sipping on a cup of ginger tea. She felt a little better after receiving the advice and hoped it would help her manage the symptoms. However, her relief was short-lived.

As Cassy was sitting in the medical tent, a couple of reporters who were covering the event happened to overhear her conversation with Dr. Stevens. They exchanged glances, recognizing the potential for a breaking story.

One of the reporters, Gia, approached Cassy with a friendly but probing smile. "Excuse me, Cassy, we couldn't help but overhear your conversation. Is everything okay?"

Cassy, still feeling a bit overwhelmed, hesitated for a moment. She had planned to keep the pregnancy announcement private until a more suitable time, but the reporters' presence and the questions made her reconsider.

"I'm doing okay," Cassy said, trying to sound casual. "Just dealing with some morning sickness, you know."

Gia's eyes widened with interest. "That's understandable. But if you don't mind, could you share a bit more about what's going on? Is this related to any personal news?"

Cassy took a deep breath. The excitement and nervousness were building inside her. With the reporters so persistent, she felt it might be best to address it openly. "Well, actually, I've been feeling unwell because I'm pregnant. I'm in the early stages, so it's been a bit challenging, but we're managing."

The reporters' eyes lit up. "Wow, that's big news! Congratulations, Cassy! Is there anything else you'd like to share about this?"

Cassy nodded, feeling a mix of relief and anxiety. "Thank you. I appreciate the congratulations. For now, we're just focusing on taking it one day at a time."

The reporters quickly took note and began composing their stories. Within minutes, the news of Cassy's pregnancy was being disseminated across social media and racing news outlets.
