Cassy was adjusting to her new role as a mother with remarkable grace. Emilia, their beautiful baby girl, was a joy to take care of. She was a calm baby, rarely crying and often greeting the world with a sweet smile. The days were filled with feeding, diaper changes, and cuddles, and Cassy found herself falling into a rhythm.
Lando, whenever he wasn't caught up in his preparations for the new F1 season, was right there by her side. He was an attentive father, helping with night feedings and taking Emilia for walks around their Monaco neighborhood. The bond between him and Emilia was evident, and Cassy loved watching him with their daughter.
---
With the break nearly over, Lando had to prepare for the upcoming season. This meant a return to England for meetings with his team and various commitments. Cassy, though a bit apprehensive about traveling with a baby, knew it was necessary. She packed carefully, making sure they had everything Emilia might need.
As they boarded the plane, Lando kept a close eye on both Cassy and Emilia. The flight attendants and passengers were accommodating, congratulating them on their new addition and offering help whenever needed. It was heartwarming to see how people reacted to Emilia's presence.
---
When they arrived in England, the warmth of their reception was overwhelming. Friends, family, and team members greeted them with open arms. Emilia, as always, charmed everyone with her calm demeanor and infectious smiles.
"Welcome back, Lando! And who is this little princess?" one of his team members asked, leaning in to get a better look at Emilia.
"This is Emilia Grace," Lando replied proudly. "She's been an absolute angel."
Cassy felt a surge of pride and love as she watched Lando interact with everyone, their little family receiving so much affection and support. It was a busy time, but the kindness of those around them made it easier.
---
One evening, after a particularly hectic day of meetings and introductions, Lando found himself reflecting on the changes in his life. He was a father now, and it was a role he cherished deeply. As he watched Cassy gently rocking Emilia to sleep, he had a sudden realization.
"Only Emilia and I share the last name Norris," he thought to himself. The idea of Cassy not being a Norris too felt incomplete. They were a family, and he wanted that reflected in their names as well.
---
Lando decided then and there that he wanted to propose to Cassy. He wanted her to be a Norris, officially and forever. He began to plan, keeping his intentions carefully hidden from Cassy. He wanted it to be a surprise, something she would remember forever.
He spent his spare moments researching rings and thinking about the perfect way to ask her. It had to be special, a moment that would capture their journey together and the love they shared.
---
Cassy, meanwhile, was blissfully unaware of Lando's plans. She was absorbed in caring for Emilia and adjusting to their life in England. Emilia's easygoing nature made things simpler, but it was still a lot of work.
"Emilia, you're such a good girl," Cassy would often say, smiling down at her daughter. "You make everything so much easier for Mommy."
Lando continued to help as much as he could, balancing his commitments with his family duties. He cherished the quiet moments they had together, knowing that their lives would soon be even busier once the season started.
---
Their return to England was a whirlwind of activity. The McLaren team welcomed them warmly, and there was a constant stream of well-wishers and visitors. Lando's parents were overjoyed to spend time with their granddaughter, and Cassy appreciated the extra hands to help with Emilia.
One afternoon, as they were getting ready for another round of meetings, Lando turned to Cassy. "I've got a surprise for you later," he said, his eyes twinkling with excitement.
Cassy raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "Oh? What kind of surprise?"
"You'll see," Lando replied, keeping his plans close to his chest.
---
Lando had arranged a quiet dinner for the two of them, with his parents agreeing to watch Emilia for the evening. He wanted everything to be perfect, from the setting to the moment he would get down on one knee.
Cassy dressed in a simple but elegant dress, her curiosity piqued by Lando's mysterious behavior. As they arrived at the restaurant, she couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation.
The evening was perfect. They talked, laughed, and reminisced about their journey together. Lando's heart raced as he felt the moment drawing closer.
---
After dessert, Lando took a deep breath and reached for Cassy's hand. "Cassy, there's something I've been wanting to ask you."
Cassy looked at him, her heart pounding. "What is it, Lando?"
Lando stood up and took a small velvet box from his pocket. Kneeling down on one knee, he opened the box to reveal a stunning ring. "Cassy, you've made me the happiest man in the world by being by my side and giving me our beautiful daughter. I want us to be a family in every sense. Will you marry me?"
Tears filled Cassy's eyes as she nodded, unable to speak. "Yes, Lando. Of course, I will."
Lando slipped the ring onto her finger and stood up, pulling her into a tight embrace. The restaurant staff, who had been in on the plan, cheered and applauded, making the moment even more magical.
---
Back at the hotel, they couldn't wait to share the news. Lando's parents were the first to know, their joy evident as they hugged Cassy and congratulated them both.
Next, they made a series of video calls, much like they had done when Emilia was born. Friends and family were overjoyed, offering their congratulations and well-wishes.
Charles and Alexandra were ecstatic. "I knew something was up!" Charles exclaimed. "Congratulations, you two."
---
As the evening drew to a close, Lando and Cassy sat together, Emilia sleeping peacefully between them. They were filled with a sense of contentment and excitement for the future.
"We're going to be a proper family now," Lando said softly, his hand resting on Cassy's.
"We already were," Cassy replied, smiling. "But now it's official."
---
With their engagement now official, Lando and Cassy looked forward to the future with renewed enthusiasm. They knew there would be challenges, especially with the busy F1 season ahead, but they were ready to face them together.
As they prepared for the next steps in their journey, they felt a deep sense of gratitude for the love and support of their friends and family. They were not just a couple anymore; they were a family, bound by love and commitment.
And with Emilia Grace in their lives, they knew that no matter what challenges lay ahead, they would face them with joy, strength, and unwavering support for one another.
---
The next days were filled with a flurry of activity as they balanced their new responsibilities with their existing commitments. Lando had meetings and training sessions to attend, while Cassy continued to care for Emilia and make plans for their future wedding.
Despite the busyness, they always found time for each other, cherishing the moments they had together as a family. Their love, stronger than ever, was the foundation that would carry them through whatever came their way.
As they looked ahead to the new season and their new life together, they knew one thing for sure: the journey they were on was just beginning, and it was a journey filled with love, joy, and endless possibilities.
