Forever and always

Chapter seventy-six

Olivia's pov:

July 2024

The season was going great, it was time for the last race before summer break which was in Spa, Belgium as always, I was quite excited because after Sunday's race Charles and the other drivers are entering their summer break! And just like last summer break, this one will also be very special. Last year Matheo and Elena were born during the summer break, and this year it will be their first ever birthday, but not only that Charles and I are finally getting married, and I'm overly excited.

Today was Thursday and we arrived in Belgium yesterday. I woke up and walked to see if the twins were awake, and of course they were. Charles was still sleeping so I just let him do that. I took the twins to the "living room" since we have a suite in the hotel, the rooms and "living room" are separated. I sat the twins down on the couch in front of the tv where they could watch something fun, while I ordered us some breakfast.

I love the age the twins have now, they're starting to walk a bit and they can sit on their own, plus they understand lots of words, it's the cutest stage. Next thing is for them to say their first words, they're trying already but it probably won't happen until maybe two or three months.

I had ordered breakfast and while we waited Charles woke up. "Goodmorning love" he said as he walked into the three of us. "Good morning" I smiled and then he placed a kiss on my forehead, and the same did he do to the twins. "I have already ordered breakfast for us" I said, "ah great, I'm starving" he answered and sat down next to Elena who was sitting on the sofa clapping to the children's music on the tv, it was adorable. Matheo wasn't really into the music playing.

After we had eaten our food, we got ready for the day! We are going to the track even though there's no racing, usually I never go with Charles on Thursdays, but today is an exception. Because he again this year asked if I could go with him to lay flowers where Anthoine crashed, and of course I would.

We arrived at the track, I love this track so much! It's one of Max's home races, since we were born here. And the orange army support here is wonderful, of course nothing beats Zandvoort but still, I love this.

We walked in the paddock. I was holding Elena's hand and Charles was holding Matheo's hand as they were trying to walk a bit. I gotta admit it took a long time but it was worth it because it looked cute and they seemed to enjoy it. - A few cameras captured some pictures of us walking here which were kinda cute.

"Hey guys" I heard a voice from behind saying so I turned my head to see Max. "Hey Max," I said and smiled. "Hey" Charles also said. Max also greeted the twins, they are always smiling brightly when they see him which is adorable, they definitely love their uncle Max.

"So Oli, mom is coming tomorrow to watch practices.. I just thought you should know" Max said. "Of course she is, thanks for telling me Max" I answered. "Weren't you supposed to watch practice at Red Bull?" Charles asked. "Yeah not anymore that's for sure" I answered. "What about qualifying then, I can tell her not to come on Saturday! But Vic will be they're" Max asked. "That's a deal then, I would love to see Vic again" I smiled, since it's not that often we get to see our little sister.

We walked into Ferrari and greeted people there. I love this team, they're the sweetest. Then Charles grabbed some flowers and then we walked out on the track. We were now carrying the twins, otherwise it would take all day! When we arrived at the place Anthoine crashed, in the Raidillon corner. We saw Pierre was standing there with flowers as well. "Hey" Charles said and went to hug Pierre. "Hey Charles, Hey Oli" he smiled and then waved to the twins. "Hey Pierre" I said and then we walked closer to where two bouquets were already laying. One was from Pierre and the other one from Juan who was involved in the crash. "I can't believe it's been five years," Pierre said. "Me either, I miss him" Charles said and sat Elena down on the track while he laid the flowers next to the others. "Me too, I miss him so much," Pierre answered.
