37 - Max Verstappen

Monaco

Y/n's POV

"Alright babe text me when you finish FP2, love you" I ended the call with my boyfriend Max, he's away for work and I stayed home because I wasn't feeling so good.

Max is a well-known Formula 1 driver for Aston Martin Red Bull racing, the season started a few months ago and he is in Canada right now. 

I'm so proud of him, he's won three Grand Prix already and he's said to be on the road to win a Championship in the next two years. 

I try to go with him when I can but this time I couldn't, I'm feeling very tired and I've had headaches for a few weeks now so I'm staying in Monaco to rest while he's racing. 

I've been feeling nauseous too, Max was worried about leaving me alone but I told him it was fine and that I would rest until he comes back.

One thing I have noticed is that my period is late which happens to me sometimes but I think I know what's happening and, to be honest, I don't know how to react.

I might be pregnant.

I didn't want to tell Max yet because I wasn't so sure and if it wasn't the case we'd be disappointed. 

Max is 23 and I'm 20, we're young but I know that we're capable of doing it, we've been together for years.

Ever since Max left for Canada I've been on the couch watching some TV because I can't go back to sleep. I was waiting to do an at-home test and maybe go to the clinic.

I didn't call my parents or friends because I wanted to keep all of this a secret. Also, it would be fun to announce to all of them with surprises and maybe ultrasound pictures and little onesies. 

That only if this is true. 

With a heavy sigh, I got up from the couch and went to the bathroom and took the test. These minutes were the longest of my life, I was constantly checking my phone for the timer and staring back at the test to see if there was anything. 

When the timer rang to alert me it was done I was suddenly nervous, I couldn't look at it. Max and I weren't even trying for a baby which was a surprise for me. I was taking the pill, maybe the change of time zones every time I traveled with Max made me take the pill at the wrong time.

Diverting my eyes to the test I looked at it with one eye opened and the other closed. 

Positive. 

"Oh my god"

I am pregnant. I'm having Max's baby. 

I can't believe it, I'm going to be a mommy. The feeling of having a tiny human inside of me was so foreign and new. I just hope Max will be happy about this and not mad, most F1 drivers start families after or by the end of their careers. 

The text notification of my phone distracted me from my raging thoughts. It was from Max saying he wanted to video chat because he was worried about me. 

I left the test in the bathroom sink and grabbed my laptop from the bedroom heading to the kitchen so I could make some food while talking with Max.

I started the call and a tired-looking Max answered. I could see the bags under his eyes and he was laying on what seemed to be the bed in his motorhome. 

"Hi love, how is everything doing? Are you feeling better" 

I remembered the pregnancy test and hid the blush that was making its way on my cheeks. 

"I've been better thankfully and you how was the car? I couldn't watch FP1 sorry" Max nodded and took his jacket off making his phone fall. He picked it up and gave me a quick smile.
