One Shot: Good News- Daniel Ricciardo
Youâre in Perth with Daniel and in family enjoying Danielâs winter break; a welcome surprise awaits.
Warning- mention of fainting and pregnancy.
It was a Sunday afternoon in sunny Perth, Australia. The house party that Daniel and his family threw was absolutely amazing. There was palpable positive energy in the air and everyone was buzzing. You were making your rounds with Daniel as you two met up with all the guests. Many of your guests were seeing you two for the first time since your marriage, 8 months ago. You both had decided to keep thr wedding very low-key and intimate- only immediate family and family friends.
Soon, Daniel went to hang out with the boys, Michael, Blake, Marcus, Scottie and a few of his other school mates. You went over, said hi but soon left because you wanted Daniel to really enjoy with his friends and not worry about whether you were comfortable or not. He rarely got time to spend with his close mates.
You headed over to the area of the house where Grace and Michelle were sitting. Danielâs nephew, Isaac, came running and sat on Michelleâa lap. You three were laughing over something Isaac said and it was so cute! Little Isaac had really warmed up to you over the past couple of months and you couldnât be happier. You were now his âAunt y/nâ! Uncle Dan and Aunty y/n- sounded so good :) it melted your heart.
Food was laid and Grace got up, leading you and Michelle to the outdoors table. It was about 8 in the evening and the weather was cool. You were walking outside to where all the guests and family were but saw Michael in the kitchen, on the way.
âHey! you coming outside?â, you asked him.
âYep, right after ya.â, replied Michael in his thick Aussie accent.
You waited for him to finish his glass of water and you two walked outside. He walked a couple of steps behind you. You were walking down the steps when you suddenly lost balance and missed a step. Thankfully Michael was right there and he caught you by your arm. You heart was in your mouth.
âCareful there y/n! You alright?â, questioned Michael.
âYe-yes, all goodâ, you replied while still catching your breath.
âWhat was that?â, you thought to yourself. You really felt dizzy for a few seconds after that near-fall. But thankfully Michael was right there and he made sure you could walk.
Daniel was playing with his nephew and you thanked god he didnât see what just happened. Daniel would have unnecessarily freaked out and called the doctor. You knew him. Though you appreciated his concern 100%, you didnât want to attract and unnecessary attention and cause panic.
Dinner was fun! The food was delicious and Isaac and Daniel are from the same plate haha! One could not separate Isaac from his favourite uncle when he was in town! Drinks were served by Joe after dinner and there was live music to which everyone danced! It was a jolly good evening and everyone was in spirits.
There were a few ingredients missing for the dessert that Michelle was making so Daniel and Joe said that they would head down the local market to get the stuff. We had also ran out of beer so two went to buy everything. Daniel insisted that Joe didnât have to go but Joe wasnât going to back down. Having a busy schedule due to F1, he didnât get to see his son as often as he would like. So the two of them were on their way.
You, along with Blake and Michael helped Grace take the dishes inside. Thatâs when it happened again. You felt dizzy but this time there was no one to hold you up. Thankfully you leaned against a wall on time. The plate in your hand fell and the glass shattered. Blake, Michael and Grace turned around and ran towards you. Grace gave you water to drink and Michael and Blake carried you to the nearest sofa. You laid down for a second and then you were fine.
You missed Dan. You needed him. You wished he came back soon. You just wanted to hug him and cuddle with him. You wanted to cry. What was happening?
Suddenly you felt the urge to throw up so you rushed toward the restroom. Grace patted your back and continuously told you that everything was going to be okay. She was such an angel. Dan was lucky to have a mother like her. Soon Michael came to check on you.
Michael and you shared a brother-sister type relationship. You knew him since before you even knew Daniel. For the past 3 months you had been training with Michael as well because you realised that it was time to get fit and conscious about your health. Michael knew your diet in and out so he was certain that nothing in your diet could have caused you to throw up.
âHas this happened before?â, asked Michael.
âNope. Thank god.â, you replied.
âI know it couldnât have been anything you ate because I keep a check on everything Daniel, Blake and you eat.â, said Michael.
âHave you and Daniel started trying for a baby?â, questioned Michael.
You were taken aback by that question. It was a very personal question and it came out of no where!
âWHAT!â, you almost squealed with surprise. âNo! and whyâre you asking me such questions Mike?!, you exclaimed.
âIâm sorry. That was a really personal question.â Michael realised what he has just said. âI only asked because dizziness is one of the signs of a woman being pregnant. Plus I saw the look on your face when Dan made you sip on his wine. You couldnât keep the wine down, could you?, he asked.
âAs a coach, I understand these things thatâs why I had to ask. Really apologetic if I crossed any boundaries y/nâ, said Michael.
âDonât worry, itâs just you.â you said while patting his arm.
You and Daniel have always wanted kids but you hadnât started trying just yet. After what Michael said you couldnât help but think if you were actually pregnant. You wanted to take a test.
You quietly asked Michelle if she had a pregnancy test and she squealed with excitement at the through that you might be pregnant. You told her you werenât sure and you just wanted to take a test. She had a test kit and gave it to you.
You went outside not sure how to feel. Excited? Nervous? You didnât know. You didnât know how Dan would react but what you did know was that he was going to be the best father ever.
You didnât want to tell anyone the happy news before you had told Dan. Michelle knew, because she stood right outside the restroom, too excited to know the outcome. She knew what this was going to mean to Dan and you didnât even need to tell her not to tell anyone else before you told Dan.
Dan and Joe were walking back into the house after their trip to the supermarket. You beamed at Daniel and he gave you a kiss on the forehead before placing all the packets on the table. The party continued as is. Daniel took your hand to lead you outside to join everyone but you took his other hand and asked him to come to the bedroom with you.
âSomeoneâs already excited? I thought we were going to wait for the night but weâll I guess now is okay too!!â said Daniel in a cheeky and excited tone.
You rolled your eyes and said, âShut up you! Itâs important.â
Daniel picked you up in his arms in a bridal lift and took you into your bedroom.
âWhatâs up babe?â, questioned Daniel.
You stepped closer to him. So close that he placed his forehead on yours. You brought his right palm up to your stomach and placed it there. You closed your eyes. His hand on your stomach felt so good. So natural.
âWhat? Whatâre you doing?â, said Daniel.
You looked up at him and into his eyes. Nothing needed to be said .
He looked at you with puppy eyes and soon his eyes were teary.
âAre you serious?! Weâre pregnant!!, screamed Daniel and you nodded.
He kissed you romantically and lifted you up and twirled you in the air. âOh my god I canât believe this! Iâm going to be a father!
You hugged him and cried. You were so happy. This is all one could ask for.
Daniel bent down and kissed your stomach and this mental image will be in your memory forever.
âNow the test was positive but I still feel we should go to the doctor to get it confirmed before we tell everyone.â you said.
âRight on it.â said Daniel as he instantly called the doctor to make an appointment.
You two kissed for a while with his hands on your waist.
âWhen do you think this happened Dan?â, you asked l, breaking the comfortable silence you both were sharing.
âAfter my Monza win.â, Daniel said.
âWHAT?! How can you say that with so much confidence? How do you know for sure?â, you asked with utmost surprise.
âWe didnât use protection that night babe. It really was the best sex ever.â, he replied while giggling.
âWhat am I going to do about you Mr Ricciardo?â you said jokingly as you casually punched his arm.
âDaniel lifted you up in the same way he got you into the room and led you outside towards the party. There was a certain glow on his face and you could see how much this meant to him. You were so grateful. You couldnât wait for what the next few months were going to bring but all you knew that with Daniel by your side, it was going to be a journey you would never forget.
