F1 One Shots II

#56 Sebastian - Sleepy

NARRATOR POV: When Sebastian Vettel came home from another Eco convention in Munish, all three of his kids were already in their beds, sleeping soundly, while his wife was cleaning the kitchen after dinner, downstairs.
-I'm sorry Liebling, my flight got deleyed...- he said, hugging her from behind and placing a kiss on her cheek, feeling guilty.
-It's fine Seb. You told me in advance..- she tried to calm his concerns with soft smile.
-I know, but I didn't retire from F1 to leave you with them all alone anyway! I feel guilty...- he replied, to which she made tsk sound and turned around in his hold, leaving the washcloth on the counter.
-No need, I told you I got it!- she still tried to trick him, even after all those years of marrige. Taking care of 3 kids at the age under 10 is hard and that's not a secret. The oldest, Klara Emilia, is 9, middle one, Maria Gabriele is 6 and their youngest, Theodore Frederick is only 2, so that's hella work with them all on daily basics.
-Theo wasn't fussy about going to sleep?- Seb asked her next, looking her deeply in the eye.
-Not much, thankfully.
-Mari washed her teeth before bed without complains? And hair?
-Luckly so.
-Ellie...?!- Sebastian sighed, knowing his kids damn well enough to see the lies.
-Klara read another 3 chapters before bed tho!- Eleanor tried to save the situation.
-You know that this one would read books all day if she could!- Seb sighed again and added -I shouldn't have insisted on that convention...
-No! You wanted and needed to be there to speak up on what's important to you! Another day with them by myself wasn't that hard! I swear!
-You're tired...- he more stated than asked, making her roll her eyes, before answering.
-It was eventful day, but we managed- El said and added -Hungry?
-A bit, yes.
-We left you a bit of our lasagna, let me just heat it for you..- she instantly jumped into action, moving to the fridge and then the oven, to heat it up.
-El, liebeling, I can do it myself..- he tried to stop her, but she refused.
-If you want to help, finish cleaning Mr- Ellie replied with stern but loving look, before she focused on the oven's settings once again.
-Alright...- Seb agreed and proceded as he was told, and before they knew it, both of them sat at the kitchen table and shared how their day went after their last conversation when Seb was still waiting for his flight. The atmosphere was light and cuddly and they relished in the calmness they provided for each other.

....
After Seb finished his dinner, Ellie stood up and wanted to clean the dishes, but her husband stopped her.
-Liebling, you look exhausted..! Go to bed, I'm gonna clean it, take a shower and join you in bed...
-But..
-No "buts" Ellie! You're barerly standing on your two feet Liebe!
-Alright..- she gave up and flashed him small and tired smile -Ich liebe dich...- she added and gave him small kiss on the lips.
-Ich liebe dich auch, meine Princesse- Seb replied and hugged her tight but briefly and then they seperated. Ellie went upstairs to sleep, while Sebastian did exactly like he said. Firstly cleaned the dishes and the kitchen, took a quick but still relaxing shower and then joined his exhausted wife in bed.
-Can I tell you something Sebby?- Ellie mumbled, half asleep, as she cuddled close to him.
-Anything, Cara mia- Seb smiled and kissed her forehead.
-I'm so tired, it's not even funny...?!- she said and only then Seb realised how hard she fought with herself to stay awake for him. But now, when he's home, she can rest.
-Go to sleep El. I got you... All of you..- he whispered softly and kissed the crown of her head.
Soon after that, everyone in Vettel's household was deeply asleep, resting and re-charging energy for new adventures of tomorrow. With that being said, we'll have to see what else life has in store for this family...?!
THE END

Sleepy and cuddly night at Vettel's house...
I know that it's a bit short, but I like it anyway...
Sometimes it's just hard to come up with something longer and write it good and neat from start to finish...
You'll have to accept this little one until Wednesday..
How are you all feeling?
Have a nice day! / Goodnight!
