Charles Pov:

Today is the day. I will finally meet my son. Amélie texted me earlier at which time I have to be there. I can't even express how excited I am. I bought a few presents for him as a apology for not being there earlier in his life. Charlotte decided to not come with me.

Fast car drivers🏎️🏎️

Lando
We forgot to ask, how was your date Max?

George

Max
It was very good
We're definitely doing it again

Alex
its time guys, our champ finally found someone

Danny Ric
I feel like a proud dad

Carlos
I think I actually have to cry

Max
Guys you're so overdramatic

Lando
thats why you love us

I rolled my eyes and put my phone back into my pocket. Wait till you find out she has a son that's from me.

I went to the kitchen.

„You really don't want to come with me?"I asked Charlotte one last time

„No, I don't want to come today. It's your first real time meeting him, I don't fit in there. It should be only you and him, and maybe Amélie. I come next time" she said and gave me a kiss.

„Okay then I see you later, I love you" I kissed her a last time and went to my car.

What do I say? I cant just come in like hey Jules, I haven't been there for you, but I'm your father.

I realised, I really fucked up big time.

I arrived at the apartment and knocked at the door.

„Hey, come in" she said anxiously. We went to the kitchen.

„Charles, I don't know if this is a good idea anymore. He just met Max and I don't want him to be confused"

„Are you kidding me?! You let him see Jules before me?" I said angrily

„You could've met him before, but you just left" she said dryly

„Don't start acting smart now. I want to see my son, Amélie"

„Charles I just told you, it could confuse him. You can come again soon"

„No, Amélie, I want to see him now. I bought presents for every birthday I missed. Do you know how bad I have been feeling the last few days that I wasn't there for him? You can't just tell me now to not see him. I want him to finally know me" I said getting a little bit louder

„Charles, be quiet or he hears you" Amélie told me

„I don't care. I want hi. To hear" I said

„Mama, whose is screa--" Jules came running in and saw me. Shock was all over his face. Seconds later he started smiling and came running to me to hug me.

„Charles, what are you doing here? C'est une rêve. First Max is here and now you. Réveillez-moi" he said blinking his eyes.
(This is a dream; Wake me up)

„Jules please sit down, we have to tell you something important" Amélie said. Jules let go of me and sat down on a chair.

„This is very important for your life, Jules. Everything will change, okay baby?" She slowly said

„Mama you're scaring me" Jules said. I came down his height and Amélie and me now sat infant of Jules.

„Jules, I'm your Papa" I blurted out. He looked at me and started to cry.
I went forward and hugged him.

„Why are you only coming now? You can't be my Papa, you're lying" he looked at me again.

„Baby, he really is your Papa. Please don't cry. He is here for you now and will forever be" Amélie cut in.

„I'm happy that you're here now, Papa" Jules said hugging me. I smiled and hugged him back again. Papa and son, finally.

„I brought you presents for every year I wasn't here for your birthday. I have to get them out of my car, how do you like that?" I told him. His eyes went big and they started shining, He really has my eyes.

„Yay, thank you, Papa."

I went downstairs and got the presents out of the car.

Amélie Pov:

It's finally out. I don't have to avoid his questions about Papa anymore. I feel so relieved right now. The big weight on my shoulder is finally gone now. I just hope this will work out, especially with us having different partners.

„Jules, let's go to the living room" I said. He went up and run to the living room, I chuckled and went after him.

„Thank you for bringing back Papa. I don't believe it Charles Leclerc, Mama. Is it really him?" He asked still not believing it.

„Yes it is. I'm sorry for not telling you earlier, baby" I said with tears in my eyes.

„Hey Mama, its okay, its not your fault"

He is so sweet. His personality remembers me so much of Charles, when he is not angry.

„I'm back. Are you ready for the presents?" Charles asked smiling over both ears.

He nodded.

He opens all the present and was very happy about them. We let him play a little bit with them in the living room.

„Jules, Papa has to go now. You can call me anytime you want, I will answer you" Charles said getting up.

„Papa, will you take me to the Ferrari factory once?" Jules asked him as he hugged him.

„Yes, I will" he answered and we brought him to the front door.

„I will see you soon, Jules" Charles said hugging him one last time

„See you, Papa" he said looking at him one last time.

I have to see my sister and parents.

„Jules, do you want to see tante Relia, Mamie and Papi?" I asked him.

„Yes Mama" he said excitingly and we drove to my parents apartment. I texted Relia to come there.

We knocked and my Mama opened the door.

„Bonjour à vous, how are you?" She asked as Jules run into the apartment.

My sister and Papa were already in the living room as my Mama and me walked in.

„I finally met my Papa, guess who. It's Charles Leclerc and he brought me many presents for all the birthdays he wasn't there" Jules just said. My parents and sister looked at me with big eyes.

„You finally told him?" My Papa said.

„Yeah Charles found out after the Grand Prix and we just told Jules today" I told them.

„I'm proud of you, Amélie" my Mama said

I smiled

„Mama also has a new boyfriend" Jules said hugging me

„What and you didn't tell me?! What's his name?" Relia said.

„How did you meet him?" My Mama asked happily

„I want to meet him, see how he is" my Papa just said. He never really wanted me to date anyone. He didn't even want me to date Charles. It took long till he finally have in.

„He is not my boyfriend, we're just talking to each other right now, but he already met Jules. His name is Max and we met at a bar" I said slowly

„Its Max Verstappen, to be specific" I gave him a nasty look

„Woah sis, Max Verstappen?! You have it with race car drivers" she said laughing. I laughed too.

„I tell you kid, he is no good. He will break your heart like Charles did" my papa told me.

„Don't be so harsh to her. If she is happy, the let her. She can live her own life. How is it going, Amélie?" My Mama supported me

„It's good. He already met Jules" I told them

„And he promised me to take us out to Zandvoort and to let me sit in his race car" Jules said beaming.

„Does he already know about him and Charles?" Relia asked.

„No, but I Plan on telling Max soon" I said. With that the conversation was over.

We cooked after and had a good family evening
