Immediately after the team meeting, I headed to the hospital because I am bringing my little girl home from the hospital today. I considered it my best insight to tell everything to the management of Mclaren who understood the situation without hesitation and wished Penelope the best they could.Of course Penelope. I couldn't even talk to her and I haven't received any news about her condition since yesterday. Did Adeline notify her father? What about him?I arrived at the hospital where I had a warm welcome. My little girl smiled at me as I took her in my arms. Her tiny legs rose into the sky as I put her in the carrier. All I had to do was wait for my mother to arrive.

-Good morning, that is, for a day, --my mother entered the ward

-Finally that you have arrived, I can now go to Penelope, --I told her

-Has she already woken up from a coma?

-No, nothing yet, but I want to go in and the chief doctor said I have the opportunity to do that today if I really want to.

-Then go son, I'll stay here with Emily.

I looked gratefully at my mother, who still helps me as much as she can today. I found the love of my life in a glass-walled room who lay in bed quietly and motionless. I also saw myself in the mirror and was amazed. My hair stood out, it was combed messy and I didn't look like a handsome pilot. I was worn inside and out.Entering Penelope, I took a huge breath. The machines she was attached to gave a terrible sight. I love her. I love her so much and I couldn't imagine my life without Pen. Does she think that too? What can she dream about now?It's a shame she can't see how wonderful our little girl was born. Too bad she can't smell the baby that I can smell....After my thoughts kept quiet, I was finally left alone with Pen again. I took her hand and kissed her. I felt a tear roll out of the corner of my eye and the rays of the sun disappear from my face. It was painful to see the love of my life, the mother of my child, that way. Wordlessly ... Because Pen always made me laugh. At every moment. Her kiss was telling and always warm. She healed my heart, it changed my life, and now I need her. My little girl is at stake. But I'm still so young for that....Leaving the room, I smelled the bad smell of reality again. But a good thing is happening today. I can be with my little girl

-Do it carefully, why did you come with this car, --Mom murmured

-This was delivered to Monaco, I don't know what to do,-- I answered and put the baby carrier next to my mother

-Son, you're never going to grow up!

In fact, my Mclaren car wasn't the most ideal for carrying the baby here and there, but I'm an F1 driver. I don't have a family car. By the way, people love my sports car. We arrived. To my family house, which was now empty in Monaco. I honestly didn't imagine the moment I would arrive with my child like that.
Penelope's absence was very bad. She left darkness behind and silence.
...

The baby started crying and even screaming. The little head turned red.

-Mom, what should I do?-- I asked anxiously

-Has she ever eaten ?,-- she asked

-No not at all

-Then I have to feed her, I do formula to be the best

With a sigh, I took Emily out of the carrier and squeezed it.

-What would a mother be with you, --I told her

-I'm glad I can help my son, --mom did the formula and gave it to me and I started feeding my little girl

-How eager to eat,-- I said with a laugh

-Right ? , reminds me of you. You always loved to eat too, --Mom said and smiled.

And that's how our days have been since then. I became a full-time father. Emily ate and slept ate and slept. And I trained, dieted and slept. But of course it was bad here too because Emily couldn't sleep at night. She woke up every minute and started crying. After 3 days I had dark circles under my eyes and I was noticeably exhausted. I was unkind and lethargic. Mom sometimes took the night to find out for myself to rest, but it's all hard. It's very, very difficult.
I felt obliged to visit Penelope again after 3 days, who received good news about her condition. If all goes well, she will be woken up tomorrow and will be able to come home from the hospital in 1 week. That was the best news of the day

4 days after we got home,  friend of mine named Charles Leclerc knocked on my door. As you may already know, Penelope has had a really good relationship with the Monaco pilot for a long time, so I understand his visit.

-Dude, you look awful, --said the boy from Monaco who handed over a small package of presents

-Don't even say I haven't slept in 4 days

-But that's not good, what's up with Penelope?

-They will wake her up today and then if all goes well in 1 week she will be home,-- I said

-But why didn't you tell me first, Charlotte and I would have been happy to help and we are still happy to help you,-- Charles said, holding my shoulder reassuringly.

-It's normal for you, Charles, but I can't ask for such a favor,-- I said

-But mate, don't worry, I'll bring Charlotte tomorrow to help and everything will be fine. I’m glad Emily is okay, --Charles said, and I was grateful to have such a good friend
