Hola Chica - Carlos Sainz Jr. fanfiction

Chapter 16

Sophie's POV

I pulled up outside my parents house in Madrid with my bags and a huge secret. After a swift knock on the door my mum opened it, saw my suitcase and pulled me into a hug.

"I won't ask. Come in, you know where your old room is," she said, kissing my forehead and leaving me to resettle myself in.

I sat at the foot of my old bed, remembering when I brought Carlos back for the first time. We'd cuddled in my bed watching films all night until I fell asleep on his chest.

There was a shy knock on my door. I opened it to find my fifteen year old brother.

"Dantae!" I exclaimed, pulling him into a tight hug.

"Hey sis, what are you doing back? You moved out ages ago," he said, looking at my suitcase and back at me. "Oh.." He said, realising what had happened.

"Don't worry about it. I'm here for the foreseeable future. At least until I can get an apartment anyway. I've missed you," I said, kissing the top of his head.

"Dantae! Come on! We'll be late! I want to get some dirt track time in!" Someone shouted.

"One second, my sister's just come back so I want to make sure she's alright," he shouted back.

"Still dirt biking?" I said, grabbing my training kit from my bag.

"Of course. Alejandro and I entered ourselves into a motocross championship," he said.

"Is it the track near the centre?" I asked.

"Yeah, why?"

"Shall I drive you? It's a long walk. I'm going to the gym meat there anyway," I smiled.

"If you don't mind. I'll go tell Alejandro," he said, running out as I changed into my sports bra and shorts, feeling self conscious about my stomach.

"Ready boys?" I said, smiling at them as I pulled my Toro Rosso jacket on.

I wanted to get rid of some extra weight. Not that I needed to. I wanted my stomach to stay small for nine months. That way no one would realise. Yes. I was pregnant again.

I jumped in my car in the way back, reluctant to check my phone  I knew full well Carlos would have left messages.

"Are you okay?" My dad asked "you look a little pale,"

"I'm fine," I said feeling the colour drain from my face. I ran straight upstairs and took a lot at myself in the mirror. My bump was still there. It wasn't big, but it was enough for anyone to realise I'm pregnant.

I skipped dinner that night, telling my parents I was too tired.

"Sophie? Are you okay?" Dantae asked. I had turned off all the lights in my room and was crying heavily, my arms wrapped around my stomach. "Soph, I'm not stupid, I know why you've left Carlos. And it's not because you sucked off Max or because he had sex with Carmen" he said, sitting cross legged next to me, stroking my back "it's because you're pregnant again, isn't it?"

"I left a note for him. I don't know if he'll find it though," I said through my sobs.

"Where is it?"

"It's in my cupboard. I left it with two pregnancy tests for proof,"

I sat up and looked at the clock. "You should be asleep, no? It's late,"

"I wanted to see how you were, I worry about you. I really missed you when you moved out,"

I kissed the top of his head "take tomorrow of school and we'll spend some time together, how's about we watch some films?"

Carlos's POV

I wandered aimlessly around the house, looking for any signs that I was dreaming.

She can't really be gone...

Her side of the bed smelt like her. She hadn't take all her clothes. I dug through them to where her memory box was. Since we met she was collecting out memories and outing them away. Photos, jewellery, everything she could find. But there was something behind it.

Hi Carlos,
If you're reading this then well done on finding it. I need you to look in the bathroom cupboard where I kept all my skincare.
From
Sophie

I threw the note down and ran there. Right there in the cupboard was two pregnancy tests. Both positive. Beneath them was another note.

Yes. I'm pregnant again. I'm at my parents house. No one can know about this. But you're definitely the father. Congratulations...

"I'm so stupid." I said, sitting on the floor with my head against the wall.

I read the note through again.

I'm at my parents house

I grabbed my car keys and ran to my car. It was a long drive, but she was pregnant with my child. I had to be there for her...if she'd let me.
