✨MICKSCHUMI ✨

It was extremely strange and rather empty to be leaving the house and driving to the airport with Antonio, without our baby son, Matteo. I constantly checked my phone for updates and released a shaken and nerve filled breath. Antonio sent me a small look before lifting his left hand off the steering and placed it on my thigh with a gentle, reassuring squeeze,

"Matteo will be perfectly fine amore, your brother is very good with him and you trust him right?"

"Do I trust Lando with our baby boy...no." I stated, sending Antonio a quick side-eye.

He chuckled and continued, turning into the airport car park.

"Lando is so good with him, though I think he's still upset we gave him an Italian name, he wanted him to be called Lando 2.0."

I scoffed, followed by a chuckle which caused Antonio to smile at my uplifted mood.

The flight to Abu Dhabi was a long one, yet it was nice to be able to rest my head on Antonio's shoulder and sleep, not worrying about wether Matteo needed a bottle or a new nappy. It was heavily relaxing to feel Antonio's hand lightly pushing down my hair and twisting my fingers within his. He gently shook me awake when we landed and led me through the airport. It was total luxury in the chauffeur driven car all the way to the hotel where me and Antonio went to the room and got changed before heading out for the night. Halfway through the meal a face time call came through from Lando, I raised my eyebrows at Antonio who sent me a nod with a smile, I pleased accept and squealed to see Matteo sat on my younger brothers knee.

"Matteo my baby, how are you, oh I'm missing you so much, I love you Matteo!"

I began gushing down the phone and felt my heart warm at the sight of my baby boy with his dark tufts of hair and bright eyes that were so similar to his Dads.

"Erm hello, I'm here as-well, your brother, Lando Norris?" Lando scolded down the phone,

Antonio laughed at Lando, which also seemed to aggrivate Lando even more,

"Shut it Giovinazzi, my car is better than yours!"

Antonio swiped my phone and whispered, not so quiet and I still managed to hear him,

"And I'm sleeping with your sister."

"Ewwww stop it!" Lando grimaced, I shook my head at Antonio and took my phone back,

"Bye Lando, and bye my baby boy, say bye to papá!"

I turned the phone to Antonio and felt my heart burst with joy at the sight of Antonio's eyes wide with love when he saw his baby boy on screen. I eventually ended the call with Lando and me and Antonio turned back to dinner. Whilst paying for the bill, Antonio slid his hand across the table and linked our fingers together.

"There's a reason I asked your little brother to look after Matteo this race weekend amor-" he began,

I looked up curiously, and nodded for him to continue,

"I love you and adore you, I have since the day I saw you with your brother those 3 years ago. I noticed you look into my garage and when our eyes met, my lord, amore I fell in love with every part of you and wanted to spend the rest of my life with you."

I smiled at him, my heart swelling,

"Then one year ago you gave me the greatest gift I could ever ask for, I saw something that was even more beautiful than you, if that is even possible: you gave me a son: Matteo is my world and I couldn't ask for a better mother to my son."

I felt tears brim in my eyes at the way Antonio was talking about our son but gasped as he slid across a red velvet box and flicked it open to reveal a sparkling ring.

"Marry me and please do me the honour of becoming Mrs Giovinazzi."

"Yes, yes yes!" I squealed.

Walking into the paddock of the Marina circuit with the Abu Dhabi sun shining down on us was even more special as every so often I caught the ring shining in the sun. Me and Tonio headed straight to the Mclaren garage where Lando had texted me he was waiting with Matteo.
Me and Antonio went in and immediately raced over to Matteo, he squealed and clenched his tiny hands at Antonio who picked him up and held him tightly to his chest, pressing light kisses on his head.

"How did my son manage the whole weekend without me!" Antonio gushed,

His eyes shining when his son squealed with joy and held his tiny fists around Antonio's hair.

"Oh shit!" Lando exclaimed, pointing at my ring.

"We're engaged!" I exclaimed, smiling brightly as Antonio wrapped an arm around my waist to bring me closer.

"So now she is my wife, not just sleeping with your sister!" Antonio teased at my brother,

"Shut up!" He snapped,

"But for y/n, and only y/n... congratulations."

Me and Antonio thanked my brother, took a photo and wished him well for the race before setting of to the Alfa Romeo garage for the race...
