"Maybe you should stay home." Lando suggested grabbing Y/N's hands and intertwining his fingers with hers as they should outside his home in Guildford. It was the weekend of the British Grand Prix and Lando had opted to stay at his home instead of in the hotel near the track like the rest of his team as he could easily drive to the track each day. It was currently media day of the weekend and Lando was trying, with all his limited skills of persuasion, to convince Y/N to stay home, his reasons all seemed to link to one common factor, Y/N's pregnancy.
To Y/N, it wasn't a big deal. She was nearly 4 months pregnant and wasn't really showing but to Lando, this was a life or death situation and he had made excuses aplenty, ranging from (but not limited to):
1. You're pregnant.
2. You could get dehydrated.
3. You could get sick.
4. You could get tired and have nowhere to rest.
But Y/N had made each one of his excuses invalid and after promising to be safe and stay with Jon or Charlotte whenever she wasn't with him, they were off. It was around an hour and a half journey, but Y/N didn't mind as it allowed her to calm herself before she was faced with the craziness that was an F1 weekend. This would be Y/n's first race weekend being pregnant as she hadn't been able to come to any other races during the current season due to university where she was studying International Business with French.
It seemed pointless to try and convince Lando that she's be alright on her own as it all seemed to go in one ear and out the other. Lando was just being overly cautious – rightfully so (to an extent), but now Y/N could barely walk to the other side of the garage without Lando near panicking himself to death, which she sometimes found endearing as it just proved how much Y/N meant to him and how much he loved her, but Y/N couldn't lie, she was secretly happy when Charlotte pulled Lando away to do some interviews, leaving Y/N in the capable hands of Jon.
"I'll be back in like 2 hours top, ok?" Y/N nodded with a small smile on her face as Lando wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her in for a tight hug, kissing her head and discretely rubbing her stomach. "Love you." He whispered against her head. Y/N murmured the same into his chest, before Charlotte grabbed the back of his shirt and pulled him away, providing Y/N with a laugh as she watched the exaggerated expression take over his face.
As soon as Lando was out of sight, Y/N made a beeline for his driver's room in the McLaren hospitality. While it was amazing to watch the mechanics at work in the garage, it was boring with Lando to keep her occupied and none of the other driver's girlfriends where currently at the track and so Y/N was left with no one to keep her occupied for the next few hours. McLaren had one of the best hospitalities on track, so it never bothered you to spend time in there, and currently Lando's bed in his driver's room was calling your name.
"Oh my god! Y/N! I've been looking everywhere for you!" Lando burst into his driver's room. His hair was all messed up from running his hand through it and his eyes were wide in panic. "Why didn't you stay with Jon?"
"I got tired-"
"I told you, you'd get tired." He pointed out knowingly but dropped his brief smirk when he saw her glare.
"I thought it'd be best for me to stay in here. I don't want to be a burden to anyone."
"You're not a burden." Lando squeezed onto the bed beside Y/N, allowing her to rest her head on his chest and trail her fingers along it, drawing shapes onto his polo shirt. It was silent for a few minutes, the two of them simply enjoying each other's presence in peace without being bothered from anyone outside the room. "I love you, you know that, right?" Lando spoke out of the blue. Y/N paused her movements and glanced up at him from his chest, "Of course I do, and I love you too."
"I worry about you, this pregnancy, that wee person in there will be our child and it scares me in case something happens to it." Lando reached his hand across to lay it over her stomach.
"You have nothing to worry about. It scares me too, but it's ok to be worried or scared because everyone is and it'll be the best thing in our lives." Y/N soothed his worries and lent up using her arms to steady her as she leaned over him to press a sweet kiss to his lips.
"C'mon, let's go home." Lando stood up and grabbed her hand along with their bags and together they left the track, and Lando couldn't help but imagine in a few months when they'll be holding an actual baby in their arms as they do the same walk.
