Daddy, you won! - Lando Norris
You and Lando have been dating since you were fifteen years old. You two have been together through thick and thin. So when you found out you were pregnant at only twenty you both knew you could handle it together.
You gave birth to a beautiful baby boy in the November of 2020. Your pride and joy, you and Lando could not be happier.
You didn't want to have your son exposed to the race track too soon. Babies are delicate and as his mother, you are over protective. Lando always said, every weekend since Rowan had been born, that he should be at the races. And you always said no.
One week before the Australian Grand Prix and you were having the same conversation you and Lando have before every race.
"I think you and Rowan should come to Australia." Lando said as you both got into bed.
"I don't know, Lando." You sigh, "He's still so young."
"But it'd be nice. And it's not like he's ever gonna be alone. You can be protective mama bear."
"It's loud, we don't want to deafen him-"
Lando cut you off with a solution, "He can wear ear defenders."
"And fans. I don't want him to be scared or overwhelmed by the amount of people."
"You can take him straight to hospitality. Please y/n. You haven't been to a race in two years. It would mean so much to me." Lando interlocked your fingers as he spoke. You stared into his pleading eyes. Those eyes you always struggled to say no to.
"Fine," Lando smiled more then you knew possible, "We'll come to Australia." Lando cheered, wrapped his arms around your waist and pulled you into a passionate kiss.
"Where's the sunscreen?" You panicked as you frantically emptied one of your suitcases.
"It's right here, babe." Lando said as he pulled a bottle out of the baby bag you had packed for the day. "Are you okay?" He asked, applying the sunscreen to Rowan's skin.
"There's nothing to be nervous about."
"What does nervous mean?" Rowan said.
"It means worried, baby." You answered.
"Because there's going to be lots of people today."
"Bluey will make you not worried." Rowan handed you his blue whale teddy, causing you and Lando to chuckle at the cuteness.
"You hold on to bluey, lovie." You handed Rowan back his whale.
The shock on everyone's faces when you walked into the paddock was priceless. You had told noone about you and Rowan attending the Grand Prix.
Even though Rowan could walk, you decided to carry him to ensure you didn't lose him.
"Y/n! Rowan!" A familiar Spanish accent yelled as the three of you walked to hospitality.
"Uncle Carlos!" Rowan screamed as Carlos approached.
"Hey buddy." Carlos put his hand out to fistbump the toddler. "What are you doing here?" He turned to you.
"Lando finally convinced me that it'd be safe." You smiled.
"Will we see you in the paddock more often, then?"
"If today goes okay. Maybe."
"Well, I'll see you all later." Carlos said as he patted Lando's shoulder.
"Yeah, bye mate." Lando said as Carlos walked away and you continued to McLaren.
You were sat in Lando's drivers room before the race.
"You should watch in the garage with everyone else. Then you can be the first ones I see when I get out the car."
"I don-" Before you could protest Lando interrupted, already knowing what you were gonna say.
"He's got ear defenders."
"Okay, we'll sit in the garage."
Rowan was so excited watching the race. Squealing anytime he saw an orange car on the screen.
You'd never seen Lando drive so well. He started the race in P13 and had managed to work his way up to P2.
Lando was right on Max's tail. A close fight for the win. The atmosphere in the McLaren garage was incredible. Noone expected the car to be capable of this. And with a possible win on the table? Everyone was so nervous.
For the last few laps, Lando had been making so many moves to overtake Max. Getting so close, but not close enough.
They were fighting right to the chequered flag. Just as Max was about to cross the line with another win under his belt, Lando came storming past. By mere inches Lando took home his first ever win.
The garage erupted into cheers. Everyone ran out to meet Lando at the podium. Holding on to Rowan, you made your way to the front of the barriers.
Lando parked his car in the first place spot, removed his helmet and immediately ran over to you and Rowan. Embracing you both. Kissing you on the lips.
"You did it." You said through the tears of joy, "You're a Grand Prix winner."
"Daddy, you won!" Rowan screamed over the cheers.
"Yeah, I did, baby." Lando said as he took Rowan from your arms for a hug.
You'd never felt so proud, seeing Lando on the highest step of the podium.
This win was something Lando has been working for his whole life and being able to celebrate it with the two most important people in his life made it even more special.
