Start from the beginning
                                    

Teena woke up a few hours later feeling a lot less sick and dizzy as she did this morning, the girl rubbing her eyes softly as she sits up and notices Button was still lay on the floor where he was when she first fell asleep. She grabbed her dry coat from the table and slipped it on, the brunette making sure Button's lead was attached to his collar before they left the hospitality to see what was going on outside.

A few mechanics and engineers stopped to greet Button, cooing over the cute, somewhat clean dog as they walked to the McLaren garage in the cold. The race had started about 45 minutes ago and so far it was going well, Lando was in 4th place and had been since the opening lap so at least he was doing well.

"Everything alright now?" Charlotte asks sweetly.

"Feeling a little sick still but other than that I'm fine." Teena responds, scratching her arm softly.

"Is there a certain reason why you feel sick?" Charlotte quips, watching the Monegasque shrug softly. Charlotte raised an eyebrow at her and watched the nervous smile appear on her face, the brunette tucking her hair behind her ears.

"Alright let's go for a walk, looks like we need to have a chat." Charlotte links arms with her, the two leaving the garage and returning outside into the cold.

"Spill." Charlotte nudges her.

"Alright alright, I'm pregnant." Teena whispers back, listening to Charlotte squeal happily.

"Valentina! Oh my god congratulations." Charlotte hugs her, the two of them giggling like children.

Teena had found out she was pregnant only 2 weeks ago herself and managed to get into the doctors whilst Lando was busy, telling him that she was just nipping to the shop instead of actually telling him she was going to the doctor. 

Whilst at the doctors they had informed her that she was around 2 and a half months pregnant already, leaving her a little confused as to how she hadn't noticed a lot earlier. Then she realised she'd been so caught up with work, the early mornings and late nights at the office, that she hadn't realised anything at all.

"Oh my, Lando's going to be so happy." Charlotte smiles.

"I haven't told him yet, I only found out myself 2 weeks ago and I'm 3 months along already so I wanna tell him by myself so I can tell him that I wasn't trying to hide it from him." Teena swallows the lump in her throat, watching his PR officer salute.

"Your secret is safe with me."

Lando sighed as he let his racesuit hang down by his waist, the driver following Charlotte through the paddock to get to the Media pen for their post-race interview. Charlotte was having a hard time wiping the grin off of her face as he was being interviewed, Lando finding it a little weird but he continued with his interview anyway.

"What's up with you?" Lando asks.

"Nothing! Nothing, just excited to see you in P4." Charlotte lies, following him back to the hospitality after his interview had finished.

"Is there something you're not telling me?" Lando looks over at her, noticing how she looked away almost immediately.

"Charlotte, spill." Lando scoffs.

"I can't! I promised Valentina I wouldn't say anything." Charlotte sighs, looking at him as he raises his eyebrows.

"No! Don't try and tempt me, go and speak to her if you want to know." Charlotte scolds him, listening to him laugh before they get inside the hospitality. Lando looks around the entire building for his fiance and his dog, only to find out that they'd both gone back to the hotel as Teena was exhausted.

"Charlotte please can you just tell me? I'm in agony and Tee's gone back to the hotel." Lando sighs.

"I promised I wouldn't tell you." Charlotte shakes her head.

"I'll tell her I found out by myself..." Lando grins cheekily.

Charlotte looks at him and bites her lip for a second, debating it back and forth before she sighs and shakes her head about what she was about to say to Lando.

"Your uh... fiance... is cooking a bun!" Charlotte speaks.

"What? She's making cake?" Lando furrows his eyebrows, listening to his teammate laugh rather loudly.

"Mate even I understood that, she means your fiance is pregnant." Daniel speaks, noticing Lando's face drop in shock.

"I didn't tell you, he did." Charlotte puts her hands up in defence, the brunette boy immediately leaving the hospitality to change out of his race suit and get back to the hotel.

"Tee?" Lando calls, walking into their hotel room to find it rather quiet. 

"Teena?" He calls again.

"Bathroom." She calls back quietly, the Brit shutting the door to their hotel room and walking into the bathroom.

Teena sat on the bathroom counter in her pyjamas, her hair in French braids and her makeup completely gone from her face. Button was curled up and half asleep on the fluffy bath mat in front of the shower and looked as though he could live there forever.

"Charlotte told me she told you." Teena starts, looking at him with a tiny smile.

"Well, Daniel told me, Charlotte tried to make it sound like she hadn't told me." Lando laughs, moving to stand in front of her and rest his hands on her waist.

"I honestly would've told you sooner but because I've been so caught up with work, I only found out a few weeks ago." Teena informs him.

"Doesn't matter, what matters is that there's half of me and half of you in there." Lando beams softly, poking her stomach.

"He or She is currently the size of a plum, because silly me didn't realise and I found out I'm already 3 months along." Teena looks at her fiance with bright eyes, the smile still present on his face.

"You know other people are going to be so negative about this because it's so early, but I'm ready. I never dream about anything but living a long and happy life with you, and having kids and a dog and living in our house and having a World Championship or two underneath my belt, that's what I dream about." Lando speaks truthfully, letting her hands rest on his cheeks.

"Congrats on P4, by the way. My superstar driver." She beams.

"I love you, so much." Lando mumbles.

"I love you too."
