Just Another Championship - The Battle for Wolff | Max Verstappen #2

Mexico 🇲🇽

Max's (POV)

We headed straight to Mexico after the race finished in Austin. I worried about how Kaycee was feeling after what had happened with Charles but to my surprise she seemed to be optimistic about things moving forward, and it seemed like she was finally willing to accept that I truly did want to be there for her. I wondered if she was just putting on a brave face but she did genuinely seem to be a lot more positive.

I was getting myself ready for the race mainly in my own world but Kaycee seemed to groan in pain as she sat down on the couch which instantly caught my attention, I looked at her wondering what was wrong but she didn't say anything and just acted like it never happened just like she usually did. It wasn't the first time it had happened, the last couple days she seemed to be really uncomfortable I put it down to the heat seeing as she was still trying to cover herself up as much as possible. Me and Emilia tried to convince her just to announce her pregnancy but she was adamant she didn't want to do it until after the season was over. Obviously her bump was visible by now and we knew that by the time it got to Abu Dhabi a jacket wouldn't hide it any longer but as always once she had her mind set on something she was ridiculously stubborn. I loved her but sometimes I wished she would listen to us more for her own benefit

I leaned down to kiss her but as I did Louise came barging into my drivers room. "Louise now isn't the best time" I chuckled slightly hoping she would quickly fuck off, but she didn't she just gave me a hesitant look. "Erm sorry but there's something that you should know" Louise said anxiously as she looked at us both. At first I assumed it was something to do with the car but from the expression on her face I could tell it was something more then that. "everyone knows that Kaycee's pregnant" she continued as she shifted uncomfortably. Kaycee's eyes darted straight to me, she was definitely assuming that I'd already told Louise but the fact that she knew was as much of a shock to me. Louise seemed to sense our confusion "someone told sky sports" she paused briefly looking at me "there's a rumour that it's Charles' baby" I looked at Kaycee to see her reaction. She wasn't ready for anyone to know she was even pregnant let alone who the father was but her expression was completely blank. I gave Louise a look and she seemed to get the hint that she should leave. "Say something" I needed her to tell me how she was feeling because if she didn't I knew that she would just keep it bottled up inside her "Everyone was going to find out eventually" she paused and sighed. "I'm just glad I don't have to wear this anymore" she tugged at her jacket and took it off. The sigh of relief she let out made me chuckle slightly. I couldn't help but think that maybe the announcement being taken out of her hands was the best thing that could have happened. "You have a race to win" she said smiling at me softly as she stood up. I noticed her grimace in pain again there was definitely something that she wasn't telling me and this time I wasn't going to let her not give me an explanation. "What's wrong" she looked at me confused "that's the second time you've been in pain since you came in here" she rolled her eyes and stepped towards me "Will you stop worrying about me I'm fine" she chuckled and leaned up to kiss me. Definitely her way of trying to distract me
