DREAM - Daniel Ricciardo

-25- Tennessee Whiskey

Used to spend my nights out in a barroom
Liquor was the only love I've known
But you rescued me from reachin' for the bottom – Chris stapleton

The new parents were woken up by a nurse who came into the room 'Good morning everyone, how is the little one?' The nurse asked as she walked over to Joey's crib to check on him. Isa sat up in the bed while Daniel sat down on the couch 'Good I guess, he woke up once to have his milk but other than that we slept really good' Isa said while she looked down at Joey. 'Well aren't you two lucky! We are going to check his vitals and if everything looks right you three can go home' the nurse told Isa and Daniel while she picked up Joey to begin his checkup. The checkup gave Isa and Daniel time to take a shower. As the two got out of the shower the nurse put Joey back in his crib. 'Well you two can change his nappy and give him a bath, I will help you with it and after that you can go home' The nurse said as she let the little bath fill with water. Daniel laid Joey down, taking of his onesie and diaper. He turned his head as he was met with a big present. Isa laughs at Daniels face and hands him a wet wipe to clean his cute butt. Joey giggled and splashed the water as Isa laid him down in the water, it made Isa smile at her handsome little boy.

Daniel pushed Isa in the wheelchair, Joey already in the car seat on Isa's lap. Daniels parents made sure to prepare everything at the house while Daniel and Isa made their way home. Isa sat in the back with the baby, Daniel looked in his rear mirror to admirer his beautiful fiancé interact with their newborn. Daniel couldn't believe the life he had. The most amazing fiancé he could ever ask for, how she agreed to be with him still made no sense to him, a darling newborn son, a loving family who will do anything for him and Isa and the most wonderful job in the world. Daniel was nervous as he would have to leave Isa and Joey once he would get back to racing, but he was sure they would make it work. Maybe when Joey is a little older, they could travel with Daniel some more to watch him race and be together as a family more often. Daniel parked the car in the garage, grabbing the bags out of the trunk before helping Isa out of the car, she was still a little sore, so walking was still hard. Daniel carried Joey upstairs and Isa opened the front door to their apartment, they were met with a banner and balloons which said "welcome home Joey!". Grace made some food for the pair to enjoy while they put Joey into his crib to sleep some more. Isa sat on the couch feeling exhausted even though she didn't do that much, birth taking its toll on her body. After having some food Daniels parents went into town for some shopping and sight-seeing, and Isa and Daniel went to take a nap. After about twenty minutes Isa was awoken by a cry coming through the baby monitor. She went to the nursery, sat in the big comfortable chair they put in the room and fed Joey while rocking him. Isa fell asleep in the chair, Joey in her arms close to her chest. Daniel woke them up while it was time for dinner, he made a simple pasta dish for him and Isa to enjoy. They had some small talk over dinner, Daniel lit some candles and they had a glass of wine, It was nice and romantic. After dinner they went for a little walk, Isa couldn't walk that long but she wanted to catch some fresh air. Joey was sleeping in the stroller, Daniel was pushing it and Isa's arm was linked with Daniels. The sun was setting over Monaco and in that moment they felt like they could carry the world on their shoulders. Daniel occasionally glanced at Isa, admiring her beauty in the evening sun. They went back to the apartment as Isa was getting tired, her body feeling sore. Daniel put the baby to bed and stripped of his clothes, putting them into the laundry bin. His naked form lying in bed as he slept that way. Isa came out of the shower, just in her panties and one of Daniels shirts, she laid in bed next to him, cuddling into his side. 'I'm really happy right now you know, thank you for making my life complete' Daniel whispered to Isa who teared up a little. 'It was a two person job you know, I didn't get pregnant on my own' Isa laughed at Daniel. 'I know but you carried him for nine months and I sometimes can't believe that you chose to be me, to spent the rest of your life with me and to have children with me. And sometimes I can't believe that I have the privilege to love you and call you mine'. Isa stroked Daniels face, her hand going of his chin, which had a light stubble but it made him look sexy. 'I wouldn't want to have children with anyone but you Dan. I love you and if anyone is lucky, it is me, because I have the most caring, funny, smart and sexy man in the whole world by my side'. Their lips met in a soft and sweet kiss, legs intertwining as they went to sleep.

Isa let out a yawn as she opened her eyes. She patted the bed, expecting to feel Daniel lay beside her but she was met with an empty left side of the bed. She stepped out of bed, Daniels shirt covering her upper body and her thighs as it was way too big on her small frame. Isa wandered through the apartment trying to find Daniel. She was halted by a precious and yet sexy sight of a shirtless Daniel, standing in the kitchen, one arm was holding their baby to his chest, while he was making two cups of coffee with his other hand. Isa's heart raced, this was a sight she wanted to wake up to everyday, the masculine man holding this small baby close to him, it made her fall in love with him all over again. Isa was woken up out of her daydream by Daniel, 'No joey, mommy is awake. Mommy go back to bed, we wanted to surprise you' Daniel says which brings a big smile onto Isa's face. she walks back into their bedroom and lays under the covers, sitting against the headboard. She grabs her phone and checks her social media and texts, she puts her phone away when she sees Daniel walk into to the room, Joey in one arm and a tray with coffee and some pastries in the other. Daniel handed Isa their son, she laid him in the in between her and Daniel while Daniel sat on the bed as well. He handed her a cup of coffee and a plate, 'our first morning as a family all by ourselves, it feels right you know, like we have been doing this for ages' Daniel says while taking a bite of a pastry he was eating.

That afternoon the three of them decided it was time for a walk. They would take a stroll on the beach. After they all took a shower and got dressed they left the apartment. Isa could feel some stares in their direction, she looked at Daniel and couldn't blame all the women for staring. Daniel looks so handsome as they walk along the boulevard, black shorts on his legs, a white polo on his torso which made his well build physique stand out. The most precious thing about Daniels appearance was the little baby strapped to his chest. Joey waved his arms and legs around while he took in his surroundings. Isa got a hold of Daniels hand, intertwining their fingers. She felt lucky to have started their little family together. When they went to the ice cream parlor, after lunch, they were stopped by an elderly couple 'What a beautiful family you have, take care of each other'. Isa and Daniel smiled at the lady and thanked her, wishing her a beautiful day, they looked at each other and kissed briefly before walking back to their apartment.

Joey was taking a nap in his room while Isa and Daniel made some dinner. Isa was sitting on the counter, singing along to some pop song that played through the speakers of their apartment. A glass of wine sitting in her hand while she occasionally sipped on the dark liquid. She watched as the muscles in Daniels shoulders contracted while he was chopping some vegetables. She jumped of the counter, wrapped her arms around his torso, standing on her tiptoes so she could give Daniel a kiss in his neck 'I love you, and I can't wait to have more kids and spend the rest of our life together'. Daniel dropped the knife he was holding, turned around, put Isa back on the counter and stood in between her legs. His arms were around her waist while her hands were going through Daniels curls. 'I love you baby, now and forever'.
