The girls are now a day old. I'm sat with both in their little incubators. There was a few problems during their birth but 2 hours later and they were fine. The doctors just advised them to be there for the time being.

I obviously offered to donate a few hours here to give their mother some rest. With her near- crash with my car and me driving here like a maniac and not to mention her labour she was basically out for the count after 5 minutes.

I wasn't complaining though I did love to watch them sleep. Their little chests lifting up and down with the little wires strapped to their bellies.

One of the girls was tiny compared to the other. The doctor regarded it as TTTS - Twin to Twin Transfusion Syndrome. She had a little extra equipment- just a small tube down her nose for her to be able to feed as the bigger baby got more food in the womb.

Ellie has no idea about names yet so right now we're just calling one tiny and the other big. Sounds about right.

I was researching on over 500 websites last night trying to come up with names but she didn't like any.

Like c'mon how are you going to say no to 'Bella'?
It means beautiful in Italian.

I glance down at my phone and it reads 14:37pm and as if on cue my belly rumbled. Lunch time! But I should probably check on Ellie before hand.

I stand up from my seat before whispering goodbye to tiny and big and walk down the hallway to Ellie's bed. I pull back the curtain and find her sat up reading a magazine.

"Ooo 'Okay' magazine good choice." I tell her, like I didn't know it's the only magazine she'll ever read.

"Thanks you know me so well. So how's tiny and big?"

See she even goes along with it.

"They are all fine. Tiny is doing well, doctor said they could be out of there by tomorrow."

"Oh great I'm dying to hold their little chubby newborn faces agai-" Ellie exclaims before being intruded.

And in walked the man, the myth, the legend: Lewis MF Hamilton.

And I suppose today is "we wear red." As he struts in out of breath in his bright red Tommy Hilfiger tracksuit. He stopped at the sight of us and a groan of relief is let out by him as he lands a hand on his hip with the other combing his hair.

"You have no idea how many nurses were trying to get a picture. Damn I really thought I could blend in today."

"Wow Lewis - such a hard life you have." I tell him as he tries not to smirk and swats me gently on the arm. Then his attention completely shifts to Ellie who's now sat up straight combing her hair back and doing whatever to make herself look more presentable.

Weird, I thought.

"How are you?" Lewis says awkwardly but I saw that glint of concern in his eyes and he reaches down to grab Ellie's hand.

Even weirder, I thought.

She smiles at him - her big toothy grin. Which reminded me of our school days when she had a down-bad crush on Jude Walters for 3+ years.

Okay this is all starting to make sense now.

"So how long have you two been seeing each other?" I say to the two - and just as I suspected their faces both turned red. They didn't even turn to me but instead tried to talk to each other with their eyes.

"Okay cut the bullshit, I'm not stupid."

"3 months." Lewis grimaced as he answered earning a deathly look from Ellie.

This is so hard to watch ... But I loved it!

"We'll why didn't you tell me at the start." I happily shout as I bring them both in for a hug, "oh you guys!"

"Sorry Sayd, we just knew you was already going through so much and-" Ellie tries to reason before I cut her off.

"Oh shut it. This is the best news I've heard in a while! My nieces' stepdad is literally a billionaire and drives alongside their aunt."

"Woah, woah slow down!" Lewis laughs as he raises his hands up.

"Sorry this is just ... AMAZING!" I apologise as I skip out of the room and run to grab lunch, ignoring all the nosy nurses walking by.

                                ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And just like that it was night again - precisely 22:08pm.

Me Ellie and Lewis were seated around tiny and big. Ellie was holding one hand of tiny's and Lewis was holding one hand of big's. We were just admiring them as we couldn't properly cuddle until tomorrow.

"During my pregnancy I always thought I was so stupid for getting knocked up. Especially by a random guy I met at uni for 2 weeks. But I realise now everything happens for a reason. The universe put them on this planet for me, for us, for a reason."

"It sure did." I agree with Ellie before sliding both hands in to meet both the girls' small hands.

"Just to let u know Ellie I'm not going to leave. Not like their 'unavailable' dad. We'll take our relationship nice and slow and we'll raise the girls together. If you let me." Lewis says which makes my heart melt inside.

Why do I feel like this conversation isn't meant for my ears.

"I'm going to leave you two to it for a bit." I tell them before retracting my hands from the incubators and walking out of the room.

Just because I left doesn't mean I won't spy on them though. So I sneakily placed myself outside the window and due to the dark they won't be able to see me.

I watch them as Ellie nods and they hug each other and Lewis wipes her tears from her face.

"This is even choking me up." I whisper to myself.

"Me too."

I jump out of my skin at the voice that came from behind. Luckily the hallway was lit enough to show me who the person was.

Obviously a man, lean build, nice curly hair, amazing side profile. Slight Belgian accent.

Lando Norris.

And just like that I became nervous again.

"What are you doing here?" I nervously joke with him as I cling onto my hair for dear life. Like my hair was going to save me!

"Oh I just heard from Lewis that Ellie just had the twins and said he thought I should come." Lando says innocently.

That little-

I turn my head now facing inside the room and see two mischievous smiles smiling back at me and I roll my eyes.

So they had motives ... Fair play to them.

"Wanna meet tiny and big?" I ask him before grabbing his soft hands that sent sparks through my body.

"Huh"

As soon as I bring him right up close to the two girls he soon understands. "Oohh. Ones big and ones small got it!" He laughs.

His laugh was contagious - it completely filled the room. It made my stomach do about 300 summersaults.

He gazed at me with longing eyes staring into mine before the two distracted us.

"I think I've found names." Ellie reveals which makes my stomach do another 300 summersaults.

"What is it!!!" I basically scream in anticipation.
