So... I'm at work, with FP1 playing in the background and a customer came in and was like, "Can't believe a girl is watching F1."
I was just like, yeah I really got into F1 over the last year, but I grew up watching NASCAR with my uncle so I've always enjoyed racing. And then we kept talking about the cars and changes and such.
He backtracked so quickly once he realized I actually knew what was going on as opposed to just knowing a few drivers... 🤣
OH MY GOD! I just finished Heated Rivalry last night and I can not wait for season 2. I'm literally about to go buy all 7 books in the series because I need more Ilya and Shane!!! And Scott and Kip are just so cute! 🥰
Am I allowed to thirst over all of them because seriously that show was HOT! 🥵
A/N: I apologize if they suck. I haven't written anything since late 2024. When I had a writing crisis and realized I hated how I wrote. It's been a long journey to get myself back to enjoying writing and wanting to write. Comments and reblogs are always appreciated!
All my love!

“Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Norris, you're having a baby girl!” Your OBGYN says to the two of you.
“Oh my God, I'm going to be a girl dad!” Lan says like he doesn't know what to think, but is so excited anyways.
“She's not allowed around George. She'll have enough love for drama in her genes already.” You say, laughing at his reaction.
That night when you get home and settled, Lando leans in close to your abdomen and whispers, “Hey there princess, daddy can't wait to finally meet you. And you're going to have a lot of uncles that want to spoil you.”
You just roll your eyes and smile at the absurdity of that statement.
**********************
“What's our movie for tonight doll?” Lan asks you as he walks in with the takeout you were craving.
“Wicked! Parts 1 & 2.” You say back and you can practically hear him rolling his eyes at being subjected to your favorite movies again. “Don't act like you don't love them.” you say with a laugh.
“I wouldn't mind our girl being the Glinda kind of princess.” He says with a sigh as he settles in with you.
“Arabella Glinda Norris, that's cute.” You whisper to yourself, but Lando hears it.
“I think it's perfect.” He says and kisses you before handing you the takeout container.
Your daughter makes her happiness with it known through a little flutter of kicks to your abdomen.
**********************
“We are not painting the nursery papaya orange Lando!”
“But she's a McLaren baby, we have to.” He counters, hugging you from behind.
“I already agreed to a McLaren plush and mobile, that's enough McLaren for her nursery.”
“What do you think Belle, should your walls be papaya too?” Lan asks your stomach.
“I was thinking a dusty pastel purple, like a light wisteria color.”
“How about a pastel papaya? Your pastel and my Papaya?” He asks and then there's a flutter of kicks coming from your unborn daughter.
“Alright, apparently she wants pastel papaya.” You mutter to yourself, barely believing you're letting your unborn daughter pick the paint color.
“With a big McLaren decal on the wall.” Lan says.
“NO! No more McLaren.” You protest, but he's already looking it all up on his phone. “Can't we do sunshine and cute, friendly forest animals for our little princess?”
“Ooh, cute, friendly forest animals in race cars, now there's a unique idea for our girl.” He says and adjusts his search.
“I suppose that's the best compromise I'm going to get out of you, but I'm getting her a normal plush teddy bear and a normal plush puppy with zero racing references for balance.” You say before heading to the kitchen, designing a nursery is energy consuming and all you want to think about is pasta.
Later on Lan joins you on the sofa with a digital view of everything put together and you can't help but smile at the princessy touches he added, including the Glinda American Girl doll as a reference to the middle name you both chose.
**********************
“What do you think she's going to be like?” Lan asks you one night while you're cuddled together on the couch, his hand resting lightly over the swell of your stomach.
“She's going to be our little princess.” You say, “Heaven knows the paddock is going to spoil her like one.”
“Is this where I tell you Zak is already thinking about papaya and baby pink for a limited run livery.”
“You've got to be kidding me… Our daughter is not a marketing tool.”
“No, she's not, but she is already McLaren’s Princess.” He says smiling. “Oh, by the way, Max sent over a design for her first kart.”
“I am going to strangle Verstappen the next time I see him.”
**********************
“Do you have a name?” The nurse asks.
“Arabella Glinda Norris.” Lando replies without even thinking about taking his eyes off his newborn daughter.
“Perfect. I'll be right back with the temporary birth certificate.”
“Thank you doll.” Lan says to you, kissing the top of your head. “Thank you for making me a dad.”
“You're going to be the best dad Lan.”
**********************
‘P1 baby, this one's for my little princess Belle!’ Lando said through the radio. You smiled down at your daughter, nestled in your arms wearing a papaya onesie with pink booties and pink baby headphones to protect her little ears. It was Belle's first race and Lando was flying all weekend.
As soon as he finished with media and the podium, he was sprinting back to the motorhome to be with you and Belle.
“Look Belle, Daddy's back!” You coo at her, watching as her hazel eyes get bigger at the mention of her favorite person. He runs up to you and carefully takes his baby girl. She reaches up and pats his cheeks. Lando just smiles the biggest you've ever seen.
“She knows I won and she's congratulating me in her own language.”
“Pretty sure she's just happy to be back with her favorite parent, but whatever you want to believe baby.” You say and kiss him on the cheek. “Congrats on P1 my love.”

“Belle, let's not put rhinestones on Daddy's fireproofs.” You say to your four year old.
“But mommy, Daddy loves my art projects.” she says while putting more rainbow colored rhinestones on Lando's fireproofs for this season.
“Hey, I'm home” Lando calls out from the living room. Your daughter grabs the not quite dry fireproofs and runs to greet him.
“Daddy, I made your suit pretty.” She says proudly.
“Shit… I'm going to have a tough time explaining this one to Zak.” He says with a big smile on his face.
“LANDO! Watch it.” You say and point your eyes towards Belle.
“I love them Princess,” he says and scoops her into his arms. “Let's go make another set pretty, maybe the 2025 ones.”
**********************
“I can't believe we're doing this.” You say to Lando.
“It's the only thing she asked Santa for, we literally have to.” Lan says to you.
“It's a living, breathing puppy, and she's 5, she's not exactly ready to take care of a puppy.” You say.
“Don't even try telling me you haven't missed a fur baby in the house since we lost you know who.” Lan says, being conscious of how attached you were to the dog you had to put down 8 months ago. Belle has been begging for a new friend everyday since.
“Well, I suppose Cogsworth is a super cute pup.”
“And we can pick him up on the 26th. It's like crazy perfect timing.”
++++
“Merry Christmas princess. We have one more gift for you, but it won't be here until tomorrow.” Lando says to Belle after she's opened up all of her other presents, including a Glinda themed scooter from the other drivers.
The next morning Belle is up at the crack of dawn with chants of ‘is it here yet?’ ‘Is it here yet?’
After breakfast you all get in the car and you turn a movie on for Belle while you drive to the dog breeder’s place.
Belle, who always falls asleep on car rides, is none the wiser when you get there and Lando wakes her up gently to go inside and meet your new puppy.
“So… what do you think of Cogsworth?” You ask her as she's running around in circles with him following right behind.
“Love Coggsy! Love Coggsy!” Belle squeals and plops down so Cogsworth can chill in her lap.
“Can we go to the pet store now and pick out new toys for Coggsy?” she asks politely and you and Lando just look at each other.
“Thank you for the best gift ever!” Belle says to the breeder on the way out.
“It's moments like these when she uses manners that I can't believe how big she's gotten.” Lando says to you as you settle Cogsworth into the travel kennel in the backseat of the car by Belle so she can be close to him.
As you head towards the pet store you usually go to, a smile breaks out on your face as you listen to your five year old tell her new puppy about all the plans she has for them.
So... I wrote something for the first time in almost a year. It's like 6 short 100ish word blurbs about Lando x Reader and their daughter. I don't know if it's something I should post.

So I had a fic pop up on my for you page... It was Ollie x pr assistant who was also his ex girlfriend. I forgot to like it and accidentally closed out of Tumblr. Would be extremely grateful if someone could give me the author and title!
Met TIM HOWARD at Premier League Mornings Fan Fest (I shouted USA USA and he pointed at me and pumped his fist like we do when we chant! He also signed my United hat and the inside of my dad's USMNT shirt!)
Went to the KC Current game vs Seattle Reign and watched TEMWA CHAWINGA score on her birthday, Lorena keep a clean sheet which gives KC the NWSL record for most shutouts in a single season, and to top that off they clinched the fucking NWSL shield tonight!
Got a selfie by Arrowhead stadium (GO CHIEFS!)
Icing on the cake: United beat Chelsea! (Fuck you Blues!)
And to add the cherry on top, Christian Pulisic scored a brace against Udinese today!!
