From Deep End to Surface and Everything In Between (Sebastian Vettel FanFic)

You Complete Me

'Let's go inside.'

'Eeergh -' She still didn't move from her position, looking out of place when her eyes diverted to the image of the children. She and the children were the worst possible combination. She couldn't stand them at all. 'Can I please just stay out here? I can wait for Emily in the car - I don't mind at all!' Seb's amused looks turned into confusion, with a fleeting feeling of hurt passing his features.

Before he asked why she stepped forward to her lips to his longingly before wrapping her hands around him tightly. 'Happy belated birthday, love.' She murmured, taking in his perfume and allowing him to fill her senses fully. She was also seeking assurance that she would be okay with children running around. When he finally broke the embrace by intervening their fingers, leading them towards the inside of the house that had a romantic country feeling like part of the decoration. The house was a cosy and comfortable family home.

Scar was totally out of her element the moment they stepped into the children's sight. She became rigid, her nerve system on overload when she kept her wide, scared eyes locked on the two young blond girls. 'You okay?' Seb questioned when she hadn't said a word after they had settled into his patio with Emily and Britta on her sides. 'Urgh, hmm. Sure.' Scar shot a panicked look towards Emily, screaming silently for help. Emily held a teasing smile on her face before she shook her head, nudging it towards the girls.

Scar felt her movement was followed when she and Emily were in the midst of their nonverbal conversation. She jumped in her seat when her gaze landed on one of the girls standing in front of her. 'Crickey!' she screamed, scared of the unexpected appearance before her. 'Hi. I'm Emma. I'm six.' She beamed, showing her partly toothless goofy smile. Then she climbed on Scar's lap to hug her. Scar remained stonefaced when Emma shoved affection towards her. 'Scar!' Emily hissed. Oh right. She tapped the child's back clumsily, praying the moment would pass soon. She knew she looked visible more relaxed when Emma ran off back to her dad's side, babbling away random topics.

Scar's body relaxed, and her eyes locked with the other child, who was strikingly shy compared to her sister. 'This is Olivia, Liv for short. She's nearly four. Want to say to the ladies?' Seb introduced from his seat where Liv was sitting on his lap. This was perfect. Scar waved with a slight smile on her lips. 'I'm Scar. Nice to meet you, Liv.' Scar's stone-cold heart melted for an inch toward Liv, who hid further into her dad's lap, the blonde hair hiding most of her face.

'Now the intros are over. How about some cake?' Britta clapped her hands together and went into the house. Scar's eyes wandered around Seb's colossal backyard and patio. 'Do you have access to the lake?' She beamed when she saw a glimpse of blue ticking on the horizon. 'We have a private beach.' Seb shrugged, and beaming became wider. 'Can the girls swim?'

'Not yet. It's been slowly working in progress.' Seb said, a soft glint in his eyes when they followed the running girls like a hawk.

'I could teach them.' Scar blurted to her utter astonishment. Wait, what?! 'I mean, if you -' she stuttered and Emily facepalmed next to her. Good job, Scar. 'I would appreciate it, thank you.' The warmth passed through his eyes when they found hers. Her cheeks turned into a darker shade of pink the longer his eyes remained on her.

'That's settled then!' Emily beamed next to her, and Scar turned to her in confusion. 'Maybe Scar should stay here for a weekend?' Scar's jaw dropped, and her gawking continued towards her friend. Was she fucking with her?

'Scar loves children; she's natural with them.' Emily announced, looking every inch triumphed of her statement when Scar turned her face towards Emily, staring at Emily in disbelief. She's a what?! 'She's just joking.' Scar laughed awkwardly. 'Aren't you?' Emily's beam didn't shine any less. 'Noup. I meant every word.' Seb shot confused looks between the pair, and he said hesitantly.
