Muted

Idea credit goes to @summer00lala

There was a soft knock at the door which of course Lando noticed. He turned off his camera before telling the chat he'd be right back and then muting his mic.

"Landoooo!" Y/N made her way into the room, taking her place on Lando's lap.

"Babe? What's wrong?" He asked, feeling concerned.

"I'm hungry! Can you order mcdonalds?" She gave him her best pleading eyes.

"You really couldn't pick up the phone to do it yourself."

"Nooo..." She whined!

"Can't you just take my credit card and order it!"

"Wait. I forgot I had access to that. Bye!" Y/N perked up at the idea and began to stand and walk off.

"Seriously?" He exclaimed, turning in his chair to see Y/N about to leave the room.

"Yes! Me and the little one are hungry! We want chips dipped in mcflurry!"

"Why are your cravings so weird?" Lando grimaced.

"Ask your daughter not me!"

"I hope you mean my son?"

"No. I mean my daughter. I can tell; mother's intuition." She told him knowingly.

"I'm still thinking we will have a boy."

"You know we haven't ruled out twins! They still run in my family tree." Remembering a random fact about her family's history.

"Yes I know and we will find out next week."

"Can I leave and buy my happy meals now?" She pouted.

"Sure. Luv you both."

"Love you too. So does our little one." Y/N placed her hand on her stomach as she replied and then turned to order as much food as she wanted! Lando smiled as the thought of him, her and their unborn child. He turned back to his computer and turned the facecam and mic back on.

"I'm back chat."

Chat:
User1: YOUR EXPECTING?!
User2: Y/N's PREGNANT!!!
User3: Hey... ummm. You weren't muted.
User4: It's gonna be a girl.
User5: A boy definitely.
User6: YOURE HAVING A CHILD!!
User7: Did anyone else hear twins?
User8: I feel like we heard something we weren't meant to...
User9: Please don't spread this across the internet! They haven't told us yet for a reason.
User10: I love happy meals!
User11: U 2 are so cute with each other! Awww. 🥺

Lando's eyes widened at the realisation he hadn't picked the right button to mute. The world had heard everything now and it would no doubt reach the media within minutes.

"Hehehe... so I guess you all heard that...." He nervously laughed. "I guess this is as good a time as ever to say that me and my girlfriend of three years are expecting a child!"

Lando scratched the back of his neck awkwardly before continuing.

"She's about 4 months along and we're planning to find out the gender next week, along with the possibility of twins. You guys would have probably found out within the next month anyway. Y/N is beginning to show slightly so someone would have noticed."

Lando was kind of unsure as to what to do. He couldn't just carry on streaming without expecting questions from his chat and as he had already been streaming for four hours he decided to end. He said goodbye and then was left with his thoughts.

How was he going to tell Y/N the secret was out?

"Hey Lando?"

Very conveniently, Y/N walked into the room looking very confused at her phone. She then looked up and met Lando's eyes before asking,

"Why is the hashtag BabyNorris trending on twitter?"
