I grew up around this chaos often attending races with my brother throughout the years whether it was to see dad or see uncle Seb both of them are great idols in my life in more ways than one after dads accident our family became very different we strive to preserve his privacy as he once did with us and in doing so it has brought all of us who know the truth a lot closer
Sebastian Vettel stepped up to help raise me as I was only 9 and had an aspiring passion for motorsport, we went to my races like dad had went to micks, he got me sponsors and publicity I grew quickly even sometimes overshadowing micks talents despite not meaning too but he didnt care he loved seeing me thrive and now I have landed myself in an alpine seat and i couldn't be anymore terrified
"Relax y/n you've got this I can't believe your more scared of meeting the drivers than you are of racing" mick laughed leading me towards the huddle of drivers
"Hey I do that all the time what if these people hate me you can't be with me all the time mick"
"It's impossible to hate you kiddo" I hear from behind us I turn and see Sebastian standing with Charles, Carlos and lance who all smile brightly making me cower slightly he steps forward placing a kiss to my cheek
"Boys meet my amazing goddaughter y/n" Sebastian announces and a few other driver come over so now there is an even bigger huddle
"Can't wait to see if you've got what it takes" max smiles shaking my hand starting an endless stream of introductions
We all talked for awhile before being shooed away to get ready
I'm so nervous what I screw this all up right before I put my helmet on I hear Sebastian's voice once again
"I'm not looking at the car I promise just want to see y/n" he shouts but everyone just lets him through knowing he would spy as simply as this he leaves all his talking on the track he approaches me with wide arms and I hug him
"I just wanted to tell you one last time you've got this and we are all so proud of you kiddo, now make sure you've got everything sorted and please go to the toilet before hand don't be one of those people. I love you, no mercy on the track but just know that no matter what everyone is going to see how incredible you are today and I will always be there for you my sweet angel" he grins cupping my cheek I laugh and give him another hug
"You know your not my dad right?" His eyes widen and he nods sadly
"Kid no one will ever replace your dad or his love I only hope I can show a fraction of it through my actions towards you your dad is my best friend and I made a promise to him that I will always protect you" he helps me put my helmet on then leaves to get ready himself
The race gets started and it is going amazing I've managed to move all the way up to p5 which for a rookie on their first race is unbelievable I'm about to go for the overtake when a red flag hits and we're all rushed into the pits I quickly jump out of my car after being told the crash was serious and we'll be here awhile the crash was between ocon my teammate and Sebastian oh no please uncle seb please be ok
I look around and see mick running towards me and engulfing me in a hug we both quickly take off our helmets so we can see each other clearly and continue watching the screens
Esteban is out of the car but sebs is flipped and currently caught on fire apparently he can't get out the stewards are rushing to put the fire out oh I hope they do it in time if be jumping in my car and driving towards them right now if it wasn't for micks tight grip which I'm guessing is part of the reason he's doing it
"We are still waiting to see if multiple world champion Sebastian vettel is ok Esteban ocon who was also involved in the collision seems to be doing just fine but is being rushed off just in case and in the pit lane we can see Sebastian's godchildren mick and y/n Schumacher waiting patiently hopes high, I know we always want our drivers to come out good and well but I am especially praying for this one on their behalf those Schumacher kids have been through so much in the past years.
Oh my that was another blast of fire shooting from the Aston Martin's engine the smoke is so incredibly thick the orange is warping all colours around it...but what is that is that just me or is their movement beyond those flames-THERE IS, SEBASTIAN VETTEL IS LEAPING FROM THE CAR INTO THE ARMS OF HIS HELPERS HE IS OKAY I REPEAT SEBASTIAN VETTEL IS OKAY"
My knees buckle as I see him throw his helmet to the ground and gasp for air they drag him away from the inferno
"Oh mick" I sob collapsing into his chest and he hold me tightly
"He's alive y/n/n he's ok he's here" mick coos shakily seb is helped into an ambulance that comes speeding towards us and stops right in front of us the paramedics jump out and call on me and mick telling us how Sebastian has asked to see us quickly
We both run towards him and when I see Sebastian in his charred race suit I break down into tears
"Oh kiddo come here. I'm sorry I know this isn't the debut race you wanted but i promise you everything is ok" he stokes my hair and wipes my tears
"I'm sorry I just- I thought you were gone, I thought I was never going to see you again, I lost dad I can't loose you too" I sob even harder this time and now feel guilty for being comforted by the man who almost died I don't mean to be so selfish I just can't go through that pain again
"Hey hey hey mein süber Engel, I understand and like I said I will always be here for you and your brother don't think I'm forgetting about you Mickey I'm not going anywhere kids i promise" he grabs mick and pull us both into a group hug which we accept gratefully I truly do not know what I would do without him
We're in very good hands dad don't worry
