"Mom! We're home!" Stevie and Peter walk into the house after coming back from Zandvoort.
"Hello my lovelies! How was it?" Trudy is walking around with a crying Zara in her arms so Stevie quickly drops her bags and rushes to her daughter.

"She's got some colic I think. I'm sure she is very happy to be with her mommy again." Trudy hands her granddaughter over to Stevie who immediately starts to rock her little girl.
"Oh my poor baby, does your tummy hurt? I've got you sweetie. Mommy is here again." She puts Zara over her arm, the little girls head resting on her arm and her tummy on Stevie's hand.

Usually this works like a charm as she gets a bit of a massage because of the pressure.

Again it does it's magic and about five minutes later Zara is relaxed and comfortable resting on her mothers arm

Again it does it's magic and about five minutes later Zara is relaxed and comfortable resting on her mothers arm.

Peter gives his wife a big kiss, happy to be home after an amazing weekend.
"We had a great time, right Stevie?"

She nods stroking Zara's back, they sure did, but being here with her baby back in her arms is where she feels even better.
"It was surreal to be honest. We've met some amazing people and being at the race was fantastic."

She looks back on the Saturday. After they had breakfast with Daniel, Seb and their trainers, she told Christian that she would come to the Monza race weekend with the kids.
She then went back to Daniel's garage to watch free practice and later also qualifying.

Daniel and Seb had locked out the front row with Daniel on pole position.
He even came to her to celebrate real quick with a high five, before he had to go do his media duties and later her dad and Stevie went into town to get a bite to eat.

Race day was insane, there were people everywhere, but again they were allowed to stay in the garage to watch the race.
Daniel won and even though they aren't even friends, Stevie still felt proud that he managed to win.

She watched the podium ceremony standing with the team which was surreal.
After that they had to leave to be on time for their boat back, but they both had the best time and it's a weekend they will never forget.

~~~~~~~~
When Daniel looks down from the top step of the podium he can see Stephanie standing there surrounded by his team members.
When he crossed that finish line his first thought was that he hoped she was proud of him.

It might be crazy, but he really wanted to impress her by winning. It's like he's back in school, showing off for the girls.
But this is just one girl, one beautiful blue eyed girl who has somehow managed to steal a large chunk of his heart in these few days.

After the podium ceremony he has to go give interviews which feels like they take forever.
He really wants to go find Stephanie and ask her out to dinner tonight or maybe get her number.
He can't find her in the garage anywhere or in hospitality.
