Private Life is a happy life

41- Stole The Show

GEORGE POV ~ TW!!! This will be a very emotional chapter so I apologise in advance.

~Before the race~

I walked out of my drivers room, ready for the race, I was feeling confident. I looked around the garage and Lucy wasn't there, she was sat at the viewing area. Toto called me over, "Lucy is sitting this one out, she's had a positive pregnancy test." I felt the blood rush. "She's pregnant?" I asked, trying to stay calm, "Yep, about 5 weeks." I did the maths in my head, that right around the time we slept together, could it be mine?

My heart raced, I was excited, I looked for her and put my hands into a heart so she knew I supported her. Her face lit up, I know there's a chance it could be Lando's, but I wasn't focussing on that.

I tried in the race, but Lando kept trying to get into a dog fight, I'd have give him the position but he was slower. We finished and he finished ahead by the width of the wing. I jumped out the car to search for Lucy, but she was gone. "Lily took her mate." "Thanks Alex, see you tonight."

I raced back and got ready, ready to tell her I'm willing to support her no matter who's it is. If it was mine, I'd be the best dad, I'd love them more than anyone ever loved another being. I was always told it would be hard for me to get someone pregnant, but I was happy I could. I headed out with a smile on my face. I go to the club and there she was, looking as gorgeous as ever, she only had a hoodie and jeans on, but she was still breathtaking.

I ran up behind her and lifted her, asking if it was true, she smiled and said yes, I was so happy. I told the others, who were shocked. I watched her the entire evening, ensuring her and the baby would be okay. I knew Lando was staring, but I didn't care, he'd left her when she needed him.

We set off back to the hotel, all in good spirits, as we got into the hotel, she'd stopped walking talking to Lando, he was raising his voice so I stepped closer. He went too far and I stepped infront and he pushed me, we started fighting, I saw Lucy go behind him and someone pull me, I tried to tell her not to, but she fell. I pushed Max off and went to her, she was folded over on the floor, crying. I cried with her.

She could be carrying my baby, I didn't even know why she was on the floor, I held her, then I saw the blood coming through her jeans and I cried with her, I apologised over and over, if I'd have just stayed out of the way, this wouldn't be happening, is she okay? Is my baby okay? Why did I step in, it was all my fault.

Lily called the ambulance, Lando realised what had happened, that she was pregnant and it was his arm that made contact with her stomach, they were trying clean up the bits of blood. The ambulance came and I climbed in with her, holding her hand, trying to stop my own tears. They had her on machines and took out a tummy scanner, they couldn't hear a heartbeat and she'd lost a lot of blood.

My biggest fear came true, they gave us their condolences, my baby was gone, Lucy's baby was gone, and it was Lando's fault, I didn't want to see him, I could kill him right now. I know I only knew for a few hours, but I'd planned my life with them and now they were gone, the only evidence left was a big bruise and bloodied pants.

We got to the hospital and they put us in a room, Lucy was so scared, she'd stopped crying but I think she had no tears left, I rested my head on her chest, she placed her hand on my head. The doctor came in and apologised again and just gave her some painkillers, like that's going to heal anyone's pain.

They discharged us, she looked defeated, I called Max to come get us, they gave her paper pants that I had to help change her into. She didn't feel like walking, neither did I, but I needed to be strong. The drive was the worst of my life, Max knew, he didn't know what to say so he said nothing. When we got back, it was like I'd left her there, she didn't want to move, I carried her. She put her arms around my neck, I lifted her legs and wrapped them around me, she was hugging me the whole time.

All I was focused on, was not dropping her, not breaking down, she needed me to be strong and I'd be anything she wanted me to be. We went to her room, everyone was there waiting. I placed her on the bed, she was a mess, she took her hoodie off, I saw the bruise and had to relive what happened, I laid behind her and put my arm around her and just cried. Max offered to take me on a walk, I agreed, I've got the rest of my life to be upset about this, why should I do it infront of her.

"Come here, mate." He hugged me, as soon as the door closed and I cried. He held me, we started walking round the streets, my head flying with what ifs and what should have beens. I'm glad I wasn't alone right now, the baby things aside, seeing what happened first hand broke me, Lucy was a human, what she went through was awful and I hated to witness it, to see such things happening in the world, it hurts to see her go through that.

We came to a bench overlooking a river, I don't know which one because I don't know how long we walked for, we just sat for a few minutes.

"You wanted the baby, didn't you." He sounded upset. "Yes, I know it probably wasn't mine, but I wanted it, I wanted it with her." He put his arm around me. "I spent all day thinking about it, as I was racing, wondering if they'd be a racer like me, if they'd be a mechanic like her or if they'd break the mould and have nothing to do with cars. Things we could do, all the places we could visit, all the things of life I could show them." I sighed. "I felt the same about P, all the things I'd show her and how she'd be raised, it's awful when that gets taken away from you, whether they're yours or not."

"I feel the most for Lucy, hasn't she been through enough?" I looked at him. "She's been through more than her fair share mate, but she's strong, you don't have to be strong all the time." It was like he was reading my memories.

"I don't know what to be." It was nice to talk honestly, "Just be you, be George, be her George, that's what she needs." He was right. We'll never be the same after this.

We walked back to the room, Lucy and Lando were sat on the bed, they'd both been crying. Lucy held her arms out to me, I hugged her, she wrapped her arms tightly around my neck. "Want me to sleep here tonight?" I asked, she nodded, fighting back more tears. Max and Lando were on the spare bed. Lucy laid infront of me and fell asleep pretty quickly, I kept whispering in her ear about how sorry I was, what I thought about her and how much I needed her. I fell asleep crying behind her.
