Sophie was not emotionally prepared for what awaited her in the new Vogue Beauty Secrets video.

She had expected skincare tips and light glam. Maybe a glimpse of the Leclerc home in Monaco. What she got instead? Full-blown domestic intimacy and the softest glimpse into Charles Leclerc’s family life that had her immediately texting her group chat in all caps.

The video starts with a soft click of a camera. Then, a yawn.

“Hi, Vogue,” Y/N greets, bleary-eyed but smiling, her voice raspy from sleep. “I’m Y/N Leclerc. It’s 6:42 a.m., I haven’t had coffee, and I have approximately six minutes before someone needs me, so let’s go.”

She’s in a silky ivory robe, hair loosely twisted up, bare-faced but still radiant. The Monaco morning light spills in through tall windows, and behind her, their bathroom is sleek and softly lit, complete with pampas grass, glowy wall sconces, and a tiny pink toothbrush on the counter.

“So, I start my routine with cold water to fake looking awake,” she says, splashing her face. “This cleanser is my holy grail. Saved me from pregnancy acne, postpartum dry skin, and whatever hormonal situation is happening now.”

Just as she starts patting her face dry, a high-pitched wail breaks through the audio.

Y/N sighs, already smiling. “Hold on.”

The camera stays rolling as she walks out of frame. A minute later, she returns with a sleepy, whimpering baby girl snuggled into her chest and latched under her robe, suckling quietly.

“This is Amélie,” Y/N explains with a gentle bounce. “She woke up from a nightmare. Or gas. Or because the moon shifted slightly. Who knows.”

She reaches for her toner with one hand. “We multitask in this house.”

From the hallway, there’s the unmistakable sound of tiny feet running and then,

“MAMAN! Maxime threw the car in the toilet!”

Y/N freezes mid-serum. “Of course he did.”

Seconds later, Charles appears in the doorway in a plain white tee and black boxers, holding their son Maxime upside down like a sack of potatoes while their other son, Luca, trails behind looking scandalized.

“We’re resolving a Formula 1 incident in the bathroom,” Charles says, grinning at the camera. “Luca’s the steward. Maxime is currently being investigated for unsportsmanlike conduct.”

“Did you retrieve the car?” Y/N asks.

Charles shrugs. “No comment.”

He presses a kiss to her temple, checks on Amélie with soft eyes, then scoops up both boys with ease. “We’ll be back. Maybe.”

As he disappears, Y/N turns back to the camera with a laugh. “As you can tell, I live with four Leclercs. And none of them understand volume control.”

She continues her routine: moisturizer, under-eye cream, a little face oil, occasionally pausing to adjust Amélie’s head or sip coffee that mysteriously appears beside her.

Y/N narrows her eyes toward the door. “He always does this. Drops off coffee like a skincare fairy.”

There’s a beat.

Then Charles reappears with Leo, their dog, trailing behind him and immediately curling up at Y/N’s feet.

Charles grins, now shirtless and balancing Luca on one hip, Maxime hanging from his back like a little koala.

“Thought you needed a refill.”

Y/N lifts her brows. “You mean a refill of chaos?”

He kisses her cheek again. “Always.”

She rolls her eyes fondly. “I’m going to try to do mascara. Let’s see how this goes with a baby attached to me and a toddler kicking a soccer ball off the bidet.”

The camera captures her reflection in the mirror, her swiping mascara with practiced precision while Amélie dozes, Charles wrangling twins in the background, Leo curled up protectively beneath her. Somehow it feels… cinematic. Like watching a memory unfold.

She reaches for her blush and hears,

“Maman, I want the pink lips too!” Maxime shouts, bolting into the room again with one of her glosses in hand.

Charles walks in, sheepish. “He stole it. I tried.”

Y/N gestures to the camera. “Well. Raw and real, right Vogue?”

She lifts Maxime onto the counter, dabs a bit of gloss on his lips, and hands the wand to Charles with a teasing smirk. “Your turn.”

Charles blinks. “I thought this was your video.”

“Your lips are dry. Don’t embarrass the family.”

The camera catches Charles puckering obediently, Y/N laughing as she applies the gloss while holding Amélie in place.

Sophie can’t believe she’s witnessing this. Charles Leclerc in a lip gloss application tutorial. Shirtless. Surrounded by three kids and a dog. Whispering something soft in French to his daughter, whose little fist is tangled in his necklace.

“I swear by this nipple cream,” Y/N adds, completely unbothered. “For any of you breastfeeding, it’s a life saver. Charles applies it for me when I’m too tired.”

“I do?” he calls from the hallway.

“You do now,” she calls back.

She finishes her makeup with one hand, blush, a bit of highlighter, tinted lip oil.

“And that’s it,” she smiles. “That’s my five-minute face for school drop-offs, F1 events, or just chasing the dog through the garden while holding a crying baby.”

Charles reappears once more, now with Amélie peacefully burping over his shoulder, the twins playing with Lego on the rug behind him.

He leans into the frame. “She forgot the most important product.”

Y/N blinks. “I did?”

Charles kisses her cheek. “Confidence. And a little gloss.”

Sophie feels like her heart’s going to explode.

The screen fades just as Maxime announces, “Papa tooted,” and chaos erupts behind them.

Y/N blows a kiss to the camera.

“Thanks, Vogue. Come back when we’ve slept for more than three hours.”

Fade to black.

having the boys over for dinner was unanticipated, and slightly out of nowhere, but nonetheless it was happening.

alfie hadn’t cooked them anything, of course, but they’d ordered a massive wagamamas banquet and called it a day.

after the meal, they were sat amongst themselves, talking and laughing about what they’d been up to and ideas for podcast guests, but alfie had become a little loose-lipped and comfortable.

almost too comfortable.

“oh, i can’t do a pod next week by the way ‘coz my mrs has an ultrasound appointment, but i’m free the week after.”

the older men shared a look before turning back to alfie.

“what?”

“bro?”

“what?” alfie frowned.

“your mrs is expecting?”

“oh, shit, erm …” he scratched the back of his head, “yeah? she’s pregnant.”

what was once silence quickly ascended into loud hollering and chaos as they forced him to stand into a hug and celebrate.

“this is huge, AB!” cal gasped out, still in shock.

“ah, congrats, bro.” chip grinned, a little emotional as he pat alfie on the back.

a couple hours passed before you came back, sabina and liv at your sides, all of you carrying bags full of new items.

the quietness from the boys at the sight of you made you feel a little uneasy.

you eyed them all awkwardly as you shut the door, glancing to alfie with a look that read ‘what’s going on?’

“hi sabina.” chip greeted.

“didn’t know you lot were all here.” liv chuckled.

“neither.” you hummed, “also why are you all staring at me like that?”

“errr …” your boyfriend looked incredibly guilty, and it was cal’s eyes dropping to your stomach that made you connect the dots.

“alfie!” you exclaimed scoldingly, “it was supposed to be a surprise!”

“it was an accident!” he tried to defend himself.

“what’s a surprise?” sabina furrowed her eyebrows in confusion.

“congratulations, though.” cal said at the same time.

“no way!” liv screamed.

“what?! what?!” sabina fussed, still not catching on.

“are you actually?!” liv looked at you.

you nodded, gnawing your inner cheek, “yeah.”

“oh my god!” she immediately burst into tears, latching onto you.

“i’m so lost.” sabina blinked.

“they’re cooking up a little one.” chip said.

“shut up!” she shouted, turning away from her fiancé to look at you, who was getting teary-eyed at the raw reaction from your friends.

“reader!” she gasped, joining the hug, “are you okay? like, oh my god this is insane!”

“yeah, i’m okay.” you chuckled, pulling away to fan your face, “god, i didn’t wanna cry today!”

sabina laughed wetly, dabbing at her cheeks so her makeup didn’t smudge.

“okay, but don’t tell anyone.” alfie prefaced, cheeks hurting from grinning at the interaction between you and your girls, “we were supposed to say individually, but i fucked up.”

“i can’t keep this from isaac!” liv scoffed, “i’ll slip up on accident or something!”

“we’ll come round next week to tell you, and you just pretend you didn’t know.” you said, putting a hand on her shoulder.

“okay, okay.” she nodded, “no, i still can’t believe it.” she put her hands to her cheeks, “have you got names planned or anything?”

“no, not yet.”

“we don’t even know if it’s a boy or a girl yet.” alfie laughed.

“okay, but still!” she smiled. “oh, i’m so happy for you two.”

“thanks, liv.” you beamed, looking to sabina, “you alright?”

“no!” she exclaimed, making everyone in the room laugh, “you’re too young! i’m supposed to be pregnant first! you’re like my baby girl i can’t believe this!”

“you get to be aunty sabina?”

“stop!” she started crying, putting a hand over her eyes, “i can’t wait— stop, that’s so cute but so, like, oh my god! josh, we have to buy them baby clothes.”

“alright, calm down, you know it’s not our baby.” chip replied.

“we’re going to be uncle and auntie! like actually this time, not as an internet joke!”

“yeah, girl, i know!”

you always found it funny how chip picked up on alfie’s lingo.

“ay, but seriously, congratulations you two.” cal said.

“thanks, cal.”

ON THE POD

“before we wrap this up, AB, you’ve got some pretty sick news, no?” cal addressed.

“oh, yeah, i do. we got the ultrasound back.” alfie nodded

the boys turned their head towards the screen where stan had pulled up a picture that alfie had sent across.

“look, healthy baby. all lookin’ good— i’ll be honest, i had no idea what i was looking at at first but when they explain what’s where, you can see it.”

chip laughed with his head in his hands.

“i think you should tell the audience that your girlfriends pregnant first.”

“oh, yeah, reader’s pregnant.” alfie hummed nonchalantly.

“is that it?”

“what else do you want me to say?” he chuckled, “she’s pregnant. she’s got a bun in the oven. we’re expecting. i’ve got a yute on the way.”

“alright, whatever.”

“nah, i need to act like i care or someone will be in my mrs dm’s telling her to leave me.”

that caused all the boys to laugh a little harder.

“im so fucking excited to be a dad, bro. like actually.”

“i’m excited for you. you’ve gotta grow up a bit before she gives birth though.” chip said.

“yeah i know— nah, don’t mention the birth. we’re both shitting it but it’ll be worth it. fingers crossed.”

“fingers crossed?!”

“yeah, what if we have some little goblin child? mood ruiner.”

“raise it properly then, problem solved.”

0:15

the first clip came after a small intro titled reader and her features, the clip was from the 'first to find angry ginge' video and started with jakey pulling out his phone and making a call with max khadar stood next to him

"pick up" jakey spoke into the ringing phone whilst moving his newly bought bucket hat onto his head

"hello, jakey?" you questioned looking at the younger man on the facetime call "you alright?"

"reader" jakey greeted smiling "we're filming at the moment and we've lost ginge, dont suppose you have his location" he tried pulling a serious face but a smirk was still evident

"you what" you looked into the phone confused "wait a minute, i'll call you back"

the video moved from jakey and max to ginge in the back of an uber ending a phone call with tays and AB to answer your call

"morgan?" you spoke as he answered the call

"hiya love" his appearance caught you off guard but it wasn't the most random thing you'd ever seen him wear, the blacked out sunglasses and camo hat wasn't the worst combo "i'm just filming at the moment" he moved the phone towards his go pro

"jakey rang me" you confessed watching a smirk form on his face

"what a cheat" he scoffed with a laugh "they're trying to find me for the video, what a fucking loser" he held the go pro up again "this is why no one likes you jakey, always ruining the video"

"stop being horrible" you scolded through the phone moving around the house

"can you please tell him i'm on the tram" the smirk on his face was so large it made you giggle

"will do, do you still want burgers for tea?" you asked looking in the fridge at your options

"yeah thanks love" he ended the phone call and stared directly into his camera "fuck you jakey davis"

the clip moved back to jakey "we've got a hint that ginge is on the tram"

~

1:12

the next clip was from the 'helping ginge find love' video, it was a clip from the first few minutes of the video where the boys thought it was funny to call you and ask your opinion on the video

"hello reader" tays spoke holding the phone in the middle of the other bov boys excluding morgan who sat in the other room watching through the camera "your on speaker right now"

"hiya mikey, what's up?" you asked whilst curling your hair in the mirror at home

"we're filming a video called helping ginge find love" beano's thick voice travelled through the phone

"you fucking what" your voice raised and you set your curling wand down next to you, all you heard in response was giggles from the rest of the boys "are you taking the piss?"

"it was his idea as well" jakeys spoke watching as ginge entered the room quickly

"stop fucking lying" morgan spoke walking over to the phone "reader love its just for content" he tried to soften the blow

"it better be" you hung up not wanting the hear anymore

the clip continued showing ginge chasing jakey around the room and quickly catching him and tackling him to the ground muttering a dickhead under his breath

~

2:03

the clip was from the 'lie detector' video where you made an in person appearance at the end after watching behind the scenes all day

"why did I agree to this" you mumbled as the man hooked you up to the detector

"you got something to be nervous about reader?" tays asked from the sofa behind you

"i just know your gonna get me to say something horrible" you confessed rubbing your hands on your jeans

you hadn't planned to be apart of the video, so they had no pre planned questions for you, so the boys were asking the questions themselves

"i'll start" jakey spoke from one side of the sofa "who's the most famous person in your dm's?" the boys responded with an ooh as your face heated up

"does morgan count?" the two of you had been together since you'd left school but he often still responded to your stories with some cheesy pick up line

the boys allowed your answer yet the man pulled a face

"what have I been saying the whole video" he spoke from behind the laptop and you knew your answer had been a lie

"the truth will set you free" they spoke from sofa in between giggles

"tell the truth reader" chazza spoke from the back of the sofa

"doesn't matter" ginge spoke "i'm the only one that fucking matters anyway" you nodded at his response moving on

morgan was next to ask you a question "who is your least favourite bov boy?"

"uh chazza" your answer was slow and surprising to the boys

"a strong pass" the man thumbs up your answer making morgan belt out a laugh

"reader what the fuck" chazza spoke "i thought we were good mates"

"we are, i don't dislike any of you" you spoke truthfully pulling an extremely apologetic face towards the blonde "can I change my answer" you asked looing at his face receiving another laugh from morgan

"reader" beano started after taking the longest time to think of a question "have you ever thought about cheating on ginge"

"no no no" you spoke quickly and honestly waiting for the guy to tell you if you were telling the truth

"true, well done" the man smiled and you let out a sigh of relief

"okay i'm done now" you laughed going to take off the wires attached to you "those were not nice questions"

"oi you still have two left" tays stood not yet asking his question but you had already de-wired yourself

"too late" you laughed as morgan hugged you and you moved out of frame

~

4:43

the next clip was from morgans 24 hour stream he did a few months ago, it was around 2AM whilst he was asleep, you remember that night you had been tossing and turning asleep in your bed without him, yet sleep wouldn't come to you

you found yourself moving to his streaming room your blanket wrapped around your shoulders and your slippers on your feet

"hi chat" you greeted as you entered frame "cant sleep" you mumbled crouching down to lay next to your boyfriend

"reader?" he questioned his eyes opening at the new noise

"missed you, i couldn't sleep" he laughed opening his arms to you the chat awing at the action

you crawled into his arms and pulled the duvet up over you, leaning into him and closing your eyes

~

5:23

the next clip was the 'secret Santa' video the boys had filmed, you laughed when you saw morgan dressed as Santa on your screen

"is this mine, is it?" morgan spoke with the Santa voice he was putting on, ripping apart the red Christmas wrapping paper

it was a box but the product name wasn't facing him until he turned it around, a laugh came from chazza next to him but he just held a serious expression

"this isn't really for me then is it?" he questioned showing the camera the box containing a vibrator

the rest of the boys burst out laughing and beano took it from his hands

"nah reader will love this, its pink and everything" he laughed examining the box "its a shared gift" he insinuated wiggling his eyebrows

"i guess she knew she was getting this" he recalled to earlier in the morning when you said you were excited to see what he got with a suspicious look on your face

unknowingly tays nodded from besides ginge with a smirk on his face making jakey laugh

~

6:32

the next short clip was from the bov house announcement vid where you made a small cameo

it started with morgan alone in bed his hand subconsciously moving to reach for you, not noticing your absence, the loud noise from beano's room made him quickly sit up before looking to your side to see you absent

"oh he's taking the fucking piss"

the video followed ginge to beano's room where you and him were having a dance party and drinking buzz balls

"its 3AM can you shut the fuck up?" he angrily spoke

"awh don't be like that" beano spoke followed by you trying to pass morgan a blue buzz ball

"no I've had enough" he moved to switch the flashing lights off "stop stealing my girlfriend and get out" he grabbed your hand as he walked out of the room

~

7:08

the midway clip of the video was from the 'stranded in the uk' vid when chazza and ginge were in the back of this mans car whilst he was giving them a lift

"can I borrow your phone to ring my Mrs mate?" morgan asked receiving a yes from the driver

"gonna get reader to pick us up?" chazza asked looking at the ginger man

"exactly, thank you mate"

"another bloke who's got your girlfriends number" chazza commented "everyone's got it" morgan let out a major laugh

"stop taking the piss" he turned serious "she's not gonna answer, gonna have to call her five times"

"hello" you answered sceptically not knowing who had called you multiple times

"hiya love" morgan greeted "you alright?" he didn't wait for you to answer "you know how we're filming a video, we're stranded and I've not got me phone, where are you at the minute?"

"i'm at your mums" you responded "what do you want?" you asked impatiently receiving a laugh from chazza "hi chaz"

"how far are you from akrinson train station" morgan asked not allowing chazza to respond in sake of time

"hang on" you exited WhatsApp moving to google maps "its nearly 2 hours from me"

"fuck off" he exclaimed loudly through the phone

"oi" you scolded "i'll hang up on you in a minute, 2 hours by train"

"what about by car?" morgan asked laughing at you

"35 minutes, if your gonna ask me to pick you up, im gonna need something in return" you negotiated looking at morgan's mum with a smirk

"bloody hell if you wanted a shag just ask" he joked wiggling his eyebrows at the camera, a smile present as he waited for your response

"ew no" you grimaced "i need a 45 minute foot massage tonight" you added "please"

"perfect can you set off now?" he asked shaking his head at the camera and mouthing 'absolutely not'

"yeah just give me a few, need to get some petrol" you spoke moving to put on your shoes

"reader" chazza quickly spoke before ginge hung up "will you get me some strawberry laces" he begged resulting in a dirty look from ginge

"are you taking the piss"

"yeah can do, bye love you morgan" you smiled making note to go inside the shop whilst there

"love you bye bye" he hung up handing the phone back to the man "just don't be calling my girl on the weekend"

~

9:21

the next clip was from later in the same video

"chaz" you rolled down the window passing him his strawberry laces before looking at ginge and passing him a redbull "your welcome"

"thanks love" he moved to kiss you through the car window having to lean down to the height of your fiat 500 "we've got a budget of £19 so we couldn't get a train ticket, so these barbers gave us a lift, we have about 40 minutes of travel time and one mode of transport left"

"right okay" you sipped on your diet coke from the drivers seat watching chazza eat his strawberry laces

"can you google how far the bov house is, or a train station and we can get a train somewhere" morgan asked and you moved to grab your phone

"and we have to go to KFC" chazza added making you laugh

"is that a challenge?" you asked looking at the camera as ginge shook his head

"you haven't got any spare cash on you?" he asked knowing you keep some in your car for emergencies

"I've got a tenner" you grabbed it from your glove box handing it to your boyfriend

"We take donations" they looked to the camera man for approval

"its gone up to an hour foot rub" you demanded from morgan making him pull a conflicted face before taking it from you in agreement

"we have to do another challenge, can you wait here for a bit?" you nodded

"ill find a parking space, the bov house is an hour away"

~

10:43

the clip resumed from when the two entered your car

"cant believe the millionaire has his girlfriend driving in this" chazza complained as morgan sat in the front and he and the camera man were squashed in the back

"do you want me to leave you here" you asked seriously turning around to face him

"would save you from her horrid driving to be fair" morgan told him receiving a dirt look from you

"excuse me you asked me for a lift" you reminded "and i went and bought your shit for you" you looked at the redbull in his hand "where am i going now?" you asked leaving the parking garage

"kfc please" chazza told you and ginge moved to type it into your car screen

~

11:07

"what do you recon jakeys doing right now?" chazza asked as he you and morgan sat in kfc, morgan's arm around the back of your chair as you waited for your order

"wanna know something weird about jakey" morgan started making you laugh as you remembered the days earlier events "he walked into the living room, no pants on first of all just boxers and a shirt, scarred reader for life"

"feel sorry for ellie" you leaned into morgan

"he goes outside 'what have you been doing' 'cutting my toenails'" you pulled a disgusted face

"what" chazza exclaimed with a laugh as you moved to the counter to receive your order

"you're not eating this in my car" you told them placing it down on the table "just cleaned it"

"couldn't tell" morgan seriously spoke "all your bloody hair clips everywhere" you just playfully hit his shoulder

~

12:01

the penultimate clip of the video was from the AB vlog where he came to the bov house

"rocket detected" AB said as you entered the frame of his camera "joking im not trying to be disrespectful" he held his hands up in jest as he caught a look from ginge and a laugh from you

"this is on" morgan said as you two sat in the sauna

"last one to pass out" AB spoke into the camera "love shit like this, do any of you use this"

"no" chazza and jakey responded

"we do" you answered sitting next to chazza at the back, resulting in a laugh from morgan and a blush to appear on his face making the rest of the boys groan

"erh, don't even want to know what goes on in there" Alfie was quick to move out of the sauna, chazza and jakey following quickly behind whilst you just giggled

~

13:11

the final clip was a long one, it was just you and morgan on his stream you were duetting one of his new favourite songs, 'iloveitiloveitiloveit' by bella kay

all lights in the room were off due to the late time of 2AM, the two of you were illuminated by the lights from his pc

you were both screaming the lyrics whilst dancing around his room, you had seen this club numerous times in edits, despite it only being filmed very recently

unfortunately your fun was cut short as tays entered the room

"can you two shut the fuck up" he slammed the door shut as he left only making you two giggle as the song continued playing in the background

~

after the video ended you reposted it and looked at the comments

user1: genuinely love their relationship

user2: how's he done that then

user3: am i the only one who finds them cringe -> user4: yes

you smile reached ear to ear when Morgan entered the room

"what you smiling at" he asked moving to his draws to pull out some pajamas for the both of you

"i just love you" you stood up and went to kiss him
