Kevin Magnussen X Nico Hülkenberg - Tiny Miracles

presents

The night before, Kevin had sat by Nico's side, holding his hand as tightly as he could without hurting him. They barely spoke, just exchanged soft words and occasional smiles, both too emotionally drained after everything that had happened. Nico needed to stay in the hospital for observation, but Kevin didn't want to leave. It was one of the hardest things he had to do—walking out of that room, leaving Nico behind, even for a few hours.

Now, as Lance pulled up outside the hospital, Kevin found it hard to suppress his nerves. Lance had made a promise to Nico the night before that he would personally drive Kevin back, and true to his word, here they were. Esteban was sitting quietly in the back, offering a steady presence.

As they neared the hospital, Kevin's eyes flicked to the small gift box placed on the seat beside him, tied up with a neat bow. He glanced at it but didn't comment, too distracted by his thoughts. Lance, sensing Kevin's apprehension, didn't push him to talk. When they reached the entrance, Lance let Kevin out of the car first.

"Go ahead," Lance said, gesturing toward the hospital doors. "Take a few moments with Nico before we come up."

Kevin gave him a small smile, grateful for the chance to have some time alone with Nico before more visitors showed up. He hurried inside, eager to see his partner.

The hospital room was quiet when Kevin slipped in, and he saw Nico propped up in bed, looking a little better than the night before but still pale. His eyes lit up the moment he saw Kevin, and for a moment, it was as if nothing else existed.

"Hey," Nico murmured, his voice soft but warm.

Kevin leaned down, pressing a gentle kiss to Nico's forehead. "Hey. How are you feeling?"

"Tired," Nico admitted, shifting slightly in the bed. "But I'm okay. Better now that you're here."

They stayed like that for a moment, soaking in each other's presence, before the door opened again. Lance and Esteban entered, each carrying something more than just themselves. Lance had the small gift box from the car in his hands, while Esteban followed with two large bags.

"Sorry to interrupt," Lance said with a grin, "but we've got presents."

Kevin blinked in surprise, eyeing the bags as Lance handed him the small box he'd noticed earlier. "What's all this?"

Nico sat up a little straighter, confused but curious. "Yeah, what's going on?"

Lance and Esteban exchanged glances, clearly trying to contain their excitement. "Open them," Lance said, setting the bags down beside the bed. "These are from us, but just wait. There's more coming."

Nico and Kevin shared a look before Kevin opened the small box first. Inside was a tiny onesie, bright white with the Formula 1 logo printed on the chest. Nico let out a surprised laugh as Kevin pulled it out, holding it up for them to see.

"Are you serious?" Kevin grinned, shaking his head in disbelief.

"Oh, that's not all," Esteban chimed in, gesturing to the larger bags. "We figured you two would need a whole wardrobe for the baby."

Nico chuckled, his eyes lighting up with amusement as they opened the larger bags. Inside were more tiny outfits, all branded with Formula 1 logos—little hats, baby socks, even a miniature racing helmet toy. There were also plush toys and a few baby books, all neatly packed and arranged.

"This is way too much," Kevin said, his voice touched but a little overwhelmed. "You didn't have to do all this."

Lance waved it off with a grin. "Of course we did. It's not every day one of our own is having a baby. We're all excited for you."
