The Proposal | a sebastian vettel fanfiction |

Alyona swore.

It's been two wonderful, beautiful years. Tiana had grown in such a beautiful girl and Themis was a talking, walking menace.

Seb had also won the championship after all those years.

And then -Alyona swore again- she was pregnant again.

Seb would be ecstatic, of course. Championship and baby. He'd be too happy for Alyona to cope with the all smiling and cheerful mood. He's not going to stop at anything.

He'd probably call everyone. Every single person they knew. And the worst of all, James would be just as bad.

Alyona emerged from the bathroom dressed for the prize giving gala.

She groaned as she looked at herself in the mirror. Thin, muscled and beautifully not pregnant. She loved Themis and Tiana and everything in their family and she loved -truly, deeply, desperately- Sebastian. He was her everything. And if it made him happy, she was happy too.

She turned around and looked at Seb.

He looked up and smiled. "You ready, love? James' downstairs."

"Seb," she said pursed her lips.

"Yes, love?"

"I'm pregnant."

Seb stayed put for a moment, Alyona thought he wasn't breathing before his face broke in a huge smile and he rushed towards Alyona picking her up and kissing her deeply.

He let her back on her feet and looked at her. "I love you."

"I know." She grinned and pulled back. "Don't start with calling anyone, please."

He embraced her so tightly and pressed a kiss on her shoulder. "I'm so happy. I can't breathe."

James came up the floor, walking stick at hand even though he never used it."Well, look at you. What's the occasion?"

"Dad," Alyona said.

Seb was already sniffing, he went up to James and hugged him. "We are pregnant."

James pulled back and took a good look at Seb. Alyona knew her dad was going to say something bad. "You are pregnant, Sebastian?"

"Dad!" Alyona exclaimed and approached them.

James laughed and patted Seb on the shoulder. "Don't name my grandson after Hagrid's dragon."

He turned and left.

Seb groaned. "Norbert is my dad's name!"

As Alyona turned to take her purse she could listen to her father shouting from the stairs.

"Hagrid's dragon."

♚♚♚

When they went downstairs, James was playing the piano, Tiana sat by his side and Themis was balanced on his knee.

He turned to Tiana and sang a French song, the old man was too jolly for his own good, he didn't stop when he saw Seb and Alyona coming to goodnight the kids.

He stopped though when the song was finished, he turned to the girls.

"Grandpa's in a good mood! Pizza and ice cream for dinner!" He exclaimed as he embraced both of them.

When Alyona heard that, she turned around and glared at her dad from the main door.

"I want healthy kids, dad. Don't even try to feed them pizza that late at night."

"I'm not Van Dijk, love." Her dad said. "I would never force a diet on a kid. I would have feed you all the pizza and the ice cream in the world if I had the chance to raise you."

Alyona bit her lips for a moment before she chuckled. "Good one, dad. I'm not falling for that again. Last time the kids couldn't sleep from the sugar you fed them."

Seb hugged her around the waist and pulled her out of the house. "Pizza and ice cream would be fine, James."

James laughed and played a fast tune. "That's why I like you, son!"

Seb guided Alyona out of the house and closed the door. He guided her to the car and opened her door. Once both of them were in, Alyona stopped him from starting the engine.

He looked at her and Alyona shook her head smiling. "I can't believe it, Seb. I can't. Sometimes, I go to bed at night and wait until you're sleeping, and just take a few moments to commit your face to my memory in case I wake up back in my old life. Where Van Dijk's the only father I ever knew and you never existed in my life."

"It's real, Aly. All of it." He said and brought her hand up to kiss it.

"I'm trying to take it all in. I never dreamed of having the chance, so I never even thought of it."

"Aly, if you're having trouble-"

"No," she said shaking her head. "No, I just can't put in words what you mean to me. Or how much I value what you've given me. And to think how bad I've been to you in the beginning."

"It's in the past. I love you, now. Somehow, it feels as I've always loved you. We're good, Aly. Everything we have is real and no one can take it from us."

She looked at him and leant over to kiss him. Her fingers combed through his hair and moaned. Seb pulled back and smiled.

"Let's name the kid Norbert if it's a boy, it will make your dad fume." He said and straightened on his seat.

"He's not gonna like it." Alyona chuckled.

"I'm counting on it."
