We arrived together at home and surprise Vivien.
"Mommy! Daddy!" she squeals and runs to us.
We both kneel down and hug her.
"Daddy you won!" she says with a big smile. "This victory was for you, mi princesa." Carlos lift her up, as she gives him a big kiss on his cheek.
Me and Sofia walk to the kitchen. "And? How was the weekend?" she asks.
I cannot hide my happines: "It was perfect. Everything was perfect."
She hugs me: "I'm so happy for you, my friend."
I keep quiet. "There is something more," she says. I shrug and smile.
"Vanessa, tell me!"
"We're hosting a dinner tomorrow. You'd know then."
"Nooo, I'm your best friend. Let me know. Please!"
Carlos walks in and hugs Sofia.
"Sofa, thanks for taking care of Vivi."
"You know I adore her. Now...tell me what is going on with you two."
Carlos looks at me and I shrug.
"I told her about tomorrow dinner, nothing else."
Carlos laughs: "Don't be so curious, Sofa. Tomorrow will be soon."
"Oh, come on!!"
"We're a little late, Vivi have to go to sleep. See you tomorrow at 19.00 at Carlos' apartment. Okay?" I say and kiss her cheek.
"Ah, fine."
She walks us to the door.
"Thank you for everything," I say and hug her. "No problem, another time again. Are you sure you won't tell me what you have to say?"
"Good night," I say laughing and we left.

*Next evening
We're preparing a dinner.
"My family is on the way," Carlos says as he reads the message.
"I'm a bit nervous," I admit as I prepare the table. "Don't be," he says and kisses me.
The bell rings. "I'll open it!" Vivi shouts and runs to the door. "Grandpa!"
"Oh, it's my father in law," Carlos says and fix his collar. "Go greet him," I say and tap his butt.
I took a deep breath. It's starting.
I walk to the living room and greet my dad. "Hola, hermosa," he greets me as we hug.
We're sitting on the couch, drinking wine and chat.
The bell rings again. Now I open the door and there is standing the whole Sainz family and Sofia.
"We met outside," Sofia says when we all hug. Our apartment is full, so do our hearts. It is a great feeling, seeing all the people who you love.
"Do you need any help in the kitchen?" Blanca asks. "Oh, maybe you can mix the salad," I say as I put some potatoes out of the stove.
"Are you two okay now?" she asks.
"Actually, we are. I wasn't that happy for a long time," I admit.
"Me and Ana were very mad at him. I cannot believe how he could do that to you."
"It was hard for me."
"Ehm...I heard that you had some romance with-" she starts, but stops when Ana walks in kitchen.
"Charles," I add and nod.
"Sorry, you probably don't want to talk about that," Blanca continues.
"I don't want to hide anything. I still care a lot about Charles."
"But you are in love with our brother," Ana says. Blanca looks at her.
"Yes. I can't imagine my life without your brother," I smile.
"We love you, Vanessa. You are like a sister to us and we are very happy that you two talk about everything and now you're back together," Blanca says. They both walks to me and we hug.
"I don't want to ruin everything, but..." Ana starts and seriously looks at me. "What?"
"I'm afraid of Rebecca."
"Ana, don't start please," Blanca says.
"No, it's okay. I'm thinking a lot about her. Do you think she'll make some problems?"
"I don't know. She is not a bad person, but... She was obsessed with Chili."
"Probably she still is..." I add worriedly.
"Mommy, I'm hungry!" Vivi runs to us.
"You can tell everyone, that dinner is ready, love," I say.
"We'll continue some other time," Ana says.
After the dinner, we all gather in the living room.
"We are very happy seeing all of you here tonight," Carlos starts. We're holding hands and sitting together. I am soo nervous. He gently squeezes my hand, leans to me and kisses me on the cheek.
"We invite you, because there is something we would like to tell you," now I say.
"Are you pregnant?" Sofia asks.
"No, I'm not pregnant," I say and blush.
"Not yet," my dad says. "Or, maybe, but we still don't know," Carlos quietly, but loud enough that everyone hear it, says. We all laugh.
"Come on, tell us!" Ana says impatiently.
"We decide to move in together. We're going to buy a house and a property," I start. "Yeah, we'd like to have a big house with garden, dogs, maybe horses and, of course more babies," Carlos continues.
"Oh, this is great!" Reyes says with teary eyes.
"But? There is something more, right?" Sofia asks. Ah, she knows us very well. We keep in silent for a while.
"Carlos asks me to marry him."
There is a lot of oh and aw. Reyes and my dad start crying.
"And she said yes," Carlos says now.
In another few minutes we're crying, laughing, hugging.
"I know it, I know it," Sofia says as she hugs me again. "I'm sooooo happy for you."
"I am happy too. Sorry, I couldn't tell you yesterday. We agree to tell everyone together."
"Ahhh, don't worry." She hugs me again.
"When will be the wedding?"
"We'd wait to the end of the race season. Maybe on december."
"Oooh, this is going to be very soon."
"Yeah, I'll start planning it tomorrow."
"Gosh, I can't wait to see you in white," she squeels.
"Me too. I can't wait to be his wife."

*Later that night
"I can't wait to call you Mrs. Sainz," Carlos says when he walks out of the bathroom. I am laying in bed, cover with blanket.
He steps to me and the towel drops down to the floor. I smile. He uncover the blanket and sees that I'm wearing that sexy nightgown.
"Ahhh," he moans. "Come here."
We spent a hot night together again.

*Two months later
I left my job, so we can travel around the world with Carlos. In the meantime, there was a lot of preparation for the wedding. Sofia, Ana and Blanca help me a lot. I already have choosen the dress, we pick the cake, sent the invitations, pick the place of ceremony. We agreed that the wedding wont be big, so we invite our families, friends (including his mates from F1) and his Ferrari team.

We're at the grand prix in Sao Paulo right now. Carlos has already left the hotel, while me and Vivi are still there. Reyes is with us, so she can babysit Vivi in some time. We're in the hotel restaurant having late breakfast.
"I'd like some more fruit," Vivi says. I stand up and I feel dizzines so I grab the chair.
"Vanessa, are you okay?" Reyes asks and quickly stands up.
"I'm a little dizzy. I may have had too much coffee."
If I'm honest, I feel like a sh*t for few days now. Maybe because of some flu or infection. All this travelling are so exhausting and we move from one place to another.
"Sit down and drink some water. I'll bring more fruit for Vivi and for you," Reyes says and walks away. I obey her and sit back.
"Mommy, are you sick?"
"No, Vivi. I'm just tired."
I drink some water and now I feel better.
Reyes brings us more fruit and we eat it.

When we get back to the hotel room, I feel diziness again, so I sit down on the bed.
"Let's go to the qualification!" Vivi shouts, while she jumps on the bed.
"Vivien stop jumping!"
"No, I don't want to, it's so fun!"
She jumps over and over again. I stood up and make a few steps, then I collaps.
The next thing what I remember is, that I wake up in the bed.
"You collapsed," Reyes says.
"Oh, I'm so sorry. I don't feel okay."
"You should go to the doctor."
"No, I'll be okay. I think I need some rest. Can you take Vivi to qualification?"
"Of course. Promise me that you'll call me if you feel worse."
I nod. "Please don't tell Carlos that I collapsed. I'll tell him later."

Vivi and Reyes left and I stay in bed. I order some fresh lemonade and when the waiter bring it to me, I stand up and feel dizzy again. I take a sip of lemonade, when I suddenly feel sick. I run to the bathroom, lean to the sink and threw up.
