Dad Lando List

Lando got home late from a race weekend, well for Lila at least. It was past dinner but before bedtime and she was exhausted.

She was playing with her toys quietly in her playroom when Lando came in and tried tickling her, making her tea party setup get ruined, by her shaky hands as he did so. “Daddy! Stop, my tea cups!” She whined. Lando giggled, not realizing Lila was mad at him now.

Her mum was cleaning up the kitchen from dinner and she went to her leg, clinging like her life depended on it. Lila huffed a breath without explanation and Lando came in the kitchen with them.

Lando kneeled down and poked Lila’s tummy teasingly and she turned away. He kept poking her and she started whining at him. Her usual giggle no where to be found. “Lan, leave her alone, she’s tired.” Her mum said. Lando left her alone for the time being.

Lila had been told she had to take a bath. Her mum running the water to a lukewarm state and Lila playing with the bubbles and her water toys. Lando came in to check on them and playfully splashed water and bubbles. Lila had yelled at him again. “No! No water in my hair!” Her mum grabbed Lando’s hand and ushered him out.

“I don’t wash her hair tonight, so she’s adamant it doesn’t get wet.” She explained. Lando gave her a quick kiss and she finished bathing the little girl. She dried her off and brought her to her room to get dressed.

It was a usual movie night for the girls and Lando went along with it while they picked a princess movie of some kind to watch. Lila was cuddled into her mums side while she watched the movie. Lando tried to make Lila laugh again with no success.

“Lando, leave her alone!” Her mum said again. “I feel like I’m parenting you more than her.” Lando laughed at the statement and left Lila alone for the night. Maybe she’ll be herself tomorrow when she isn’t tired.

Sure enough the next day she was fine, giggling when Lando would poke her side or tickle her. “I’m sorry for annoying you yesterday sweetheart.” Lando said when they were all calmed down.

“It’s okay daddy.” Lila said. They were playing in her playroom, the tea set undisturbed this time. Lila had put on a princess dress, seeing as they weren’t going anywhere.

“How can I make it up to you?” He joked. A big smile on his face. Lila thought before answering. She always wanted to try on one of his big helmets. “You want to wear one of my race helmets?” He asked.

She nodded and he motioned for her to follow him. He brought her to his streaming room where he had all his previous helmets. She picked his most recent testing helmet and he took it off the shelf.

“It’s heavy sweetheart, so you might want to sit down.” She listened, sitting on the couch. Her mum walked in and silently watched as Lando put the heavy helmet on her head and she giggled. He opened the visor and she looked at him, he could tell she was smiling really big at him.

“Let go daddy.” She said. Lando was hesitant, the helmet was nearly half her weight. He took his hand off and saw her head sway to the opposite of the couch and caught her. She giggled profusely as her mum had a mini heart attack.

He took the helmet off and she was super giggly still. “Yeah?” He asked, smiling from the contagious smile she had on.

“Your turn daddy!” He put the helmet on with the visor up and made faces at her through it. She reached her hand and closed the glass. Giggles erupting loudly as they played around with the helmet.

Giggly girl 🤭

Dad Lando List

It’s been nearly a year since his wife died suddenly. She was literally driving home from the grocery store, 5 minutes away from her house, when a drunk driver hit the drivers side of her car. Lila was with Lando at the house, a small grocery trip ended in a funeral. When his wife hadn’t come home for hours, he tried calling, texting, but nothing.

It was when a police officer knocked on his door with the information that she was in the hospital and not doing good that it all came hurdling down on him. He called her mum first and told her what he was told and they rushed to the hospital.

Their mums in the waiting room, Lando handed Lila to his mum as to not scare her from all the machines his wife was on. He held her hand as she took her last breath. Crying into her hand as the machines flatlined. He signed all the paperwork and got all her things that were still in tact.

He saw her car at the impound lot and broke down again. Her car mangled, the same car he bought her as an anniversary gift 3 years prior, the one she dreamed of having. Cisca had kept Lila the few days after, allowing Lando time to grieve and settle everything.

Him and Lila went to the funeral, front row, on display. Lila had no clue what was going on. The 2 year old confused on why everyone was crying and wearing the same color. She also wondered why there were so many beautiful flowers around a box.

Lando opted for a close casket funeral, for Lila’s sake. The picture of her mum on the big board didn’t help though. “Mama!” She said and pointed to it. Lando burst into tears again and Lila was confused.

The media went silent on Lando’s behalf while he took the next few races off. The drivers banding together to help him in anyway possible. Other drivers with daughters bringing them for play dates.

When racing resumed, Lando had no choice but to bring Lila along. It was hard at first, but she napped a lot. The other drivers bringing their daughters and wives when they could, allowing Lando to not have to worry.

Now during the break, she was inconsolable and Lando didn’t know why. Lila was screaming and crying, her tears nonstop flowing as Lando tried calming her down. She hiccupped from crying so hard and drenched her shirt with tears.

He took her shirt off and she was left in just a diaper. She didn’t want his touch, swatting him away while he kneeled. “Sweetheart, what’s wrong?” He asked again, her crying drowning out what she kept yelling at him. She whined at him.

He was at a loss of why she was so upset, not letting him hold her and comfort the cries. “Mama!!” He finally understood her words and it pulled at his heart, now trying not to cry himself.

He hated how cruel the world was, taking his wife away so suddenly. Lila didn’t understand death, thinking her mum just left them. Lando hung his head and stood up. He didn’t know what to say or do anymore. She wants someone she can’t have.

He barely had time to grieve, taking care of Lila was his main priority and he didn’t want her to see him upset. It’s clear to him now that she didn’t have time to grieve either. Lila sat on the cold wooden floor, holding her pacifier as she screamed for her mum.

“I miss her too Lila.” He said to her. She paused crying and breathed in short breaths. He offered to hold her and she mocked his movement, also wanting to be held. He held her close to his chest as her tears were silently still falling. “Mama still loves you, sweetheart, she’s just not here to say it.” He whispered.

He looked up and tried to hold back the inevitable tears. His voice cracking as he cooed to Lila. “Mamas gone?” Lila asked, her little voice breaking Lando’s heart. He let the tears fall.

He had texted his mum in the middle of Lila’s screaming fit and she told him she was on her way. When the front door opened, the sight she saw was gut wrenching. Lando swaying an upset Lila while he himself was upset.

“My babies.” Cisca murmured. She wrapped her arms around them and told Lando how much of a good dad he was. “It’s not your fault baby, there was nothing else we could’ve done.” She cooed. He knew his wife’s death was not his fault, but it weighed on him as if it was.

“Mimi, where’s mama.” Lila sniffled. Cisca looked to Lila and back to Lando. Realizing why they were both upset, Lila wanted her mum and Lando couldn’t help her.

“Oh baby, mamas in a better place.” Cisca smiled, holding back her own tears. “How about we get you down for bed, yeah?” Lila nodded and Cisca took the little girl to bed. Lando sat down at his kitchen counter and cried.

… can I say that I kissed the brick before throwing it? Or cleaned the knife before stabbing? 😭

Dad Lando List

Request— I fear we need a Lila Saudi Arabia quali Lando comfort fic - 🌙 @bucket-hat-lando

Lila watched with intent, daddy is on track— she needs to focus and watch. It was Q3, he was almost done and then they could get treats and he would talk racing with the other people around.

That all changed when he slightly tapped a wall and caught a curb wrong, skidding across a wall. Lila flinched and clung to Jon. “No! Daddy!!” She whined to Jon. He looked to the pit wall for confirmation that Lando was responding and he was.

“He’s okay Lila, just a little hiccup.” He nodded. Lila’s bottom lip quivered, making Jon frown. Jon had heard Lando’s self doubt on the radio and snapped his head around to the tv, now broadcasting the replays.

He shielded Lila from rewatching the crash, knowing it would upset her further. Minutes pass by and Lando ends up back in the garage, weaving his way through all the mechanics. They all wanted his attention, but he only wanted one person at this very moment: Lila.

She immediately reached her arms out for him and he took her in his embrace, hugging her tightly as she laid her head on his shoulder and wrapped her arms around his neck. He knew she saw what happened and was glad it was minor.

Anything can happen on track, knowing Lila would see it caused him more stress than anything. He was grateful nothing horrible happened to him. Jon talked with Lando as the little girl clung to him, also glad he was okay.

He set her down and she followed him around, a tight grip on his finger as he talked with engineers and mechanics before medias. When he did do media, she stayed by his side. She noticed his tension and hugged his leg during an interview.

He smiled and the interviewer shot him a confused look. He was being hard on himself and hated that he might rub off on Lila. “Good luck tomorrow.” Lando nodded and moved on.

Some of the other rookies who got out in Q1 or Q2 were around and noticed Lila. Lando was doing another interview and Gabriel made eye contact with her. She giggled at his silly faces and Lando looked down and then towards her line of sight.

“She’s too cute.” Gabriel said, patting Lando’s shoulder before walking off. The interviewer looked over the barrier and caught a glimpse of Lila.

“You’ve got company with you!” She said. Lando smiled and picked Lila up. “Hello!” Lila shied into Lando’s chest and he fixed her shirt.

“Yeah, I just overshot how close I was and the car just did its own thing.” He shook his head, answering the question.

He finally finished the medias and got to relax in his driver room, or so he thought. He set Lila down after closing the door and she whined. He looked to her and her bottom lip was poking out. He tilted his head and crouched to her level.

“What’s the matter sweetheart?” He asked. He could see tears brimming her eyes and he took her in his arms again. He sat on the couch and leaned back, Lila comfortably on top of his chest. “Did I scare you?” She nodded her head.

“Car is hurt too.” She whined. He didn’t hear her and asked her to repeat what she said. “Your car is hurt too daddy.” She said louder this time.

“Oh sweetheart, the mechanics can put it back together.” He said, moving a strand of hair behind her ear. “I didn’t mean to hurt the car.” She sighed into his chest as he lightly rubbed her arm. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to scare you.”

She curled tighter and he continued tracing lazing shapes on her back. “It’s okay, daddy, you’re not hurt.” She mumbled. He kissed her head. He wanted to overthink the crash, but Lila needed to be assured that he was okay and that the car wasn’t hurt.

“Uncle Osc got second, did you get to congratulate him?” He asked. She shook her head no and he smiled. “Do you want to? He’s right next door.” She shook her head no again and he nodded.

“I want to stay with you daddy.” She said. “You told me crashes hurt and I don’t want you to be hurt.” She sniffled. He internally awed, but realized he did tell her crashes can hurt.

“I did say that, but some crashes don’t hurt as much- like mine.” He reassured her. “Or uncle Osc’s in Australia.” He reminded her. She clung to Oscar that day, wanting nothing but for him not to be sad.

She whined again and he put his arms around her. “You don’t hurt, daddy?” She asked, raising her head to look at him.

“No, I don’t hurt Lila.” He confirmed. He smiled at her. “Daddy is tired and frustrated though.” He admitted. She didn’t know what he even said but he felt like in a sense, she did know.

“Will a hug fix you?” She asked, hugs usually ‘fixed’ her when she felt a way she couldn’t describe. Lando always asked her the same question when she was overwhelmed, or throwing a fit.

“A hug might help, I won’t know until I get one.” He fake pouted to her and she wrapped her arms around him again. He gasped and she giggled. “Oh my goodness! That hug fixed me right up Lila, thank you!” He said feigning enthusiasm for her.

She curled back into his chest and ended up asleep. He brought her back to the main garage and Jon let Lando speak his frustrations out. The mechanics dealt with the car, telling Lando how to avoid the issue he had.

When he left the track and put Lila in her car seat, she stirred. “Shh, go back to sleep.” He cooed, running his knuckles over her cheek soothingly. “We’re going to the hotel now.” She listened and fell back asleep.

Yes this was a recent request, but timing would be hella off if I added it to the queue

Warnings— Lando being a clingy dad

A/N— one or two requests were two in one so, they’ll be separate but give me some time 🙂‍↕️

Dad Lando List

Request— hi, can u please write abt lando's and osc's first birthday as a dad?

Lando had been on his way home from a race weekend, his birthday the only thing on his mind, it was his first birthday as a dad, Lila’s dad to be exact. She was only 2 months old, but she was everything and more.

His wife was well taken care of while he was gone, having their parents help out as much as possible while he was away. What he didn’t know was that they were setting up a birthday surprise.

He was on his way home but with all the timing, he would arrive the morning of his 26th birthday, meaning they have to set up everything the day before.

His wife organized and set up the decorations while Cisca held Lila and tended to her needs. The cake and drinks would be put out the next morning.

“Perfect.” She sighed. Cisca admired the effort put into the balloons to the small confetti scattered on the table. “All else is tomorrow.” Cisca was sleeping in the guest room, she wanted to see her son as well.

“Why is her rocker on the table?” Cisca asked. Lila would be propped right in the middle with a onesie that says ‘happy birthday daddy’ and Cisco awed at the tiny detail.

They went to bed and in the morning Lando’s wife was super excited while dressing Lila in the onesie. “Such a cutie you are!” She said to the baby. Lila cooed and smiled. “Yeah? Ready to see daddy?” She smiled and picked her up.

The cake and drinks were set out when they saw Lando’s uber pull up and she set Lila in the rocker on the table. She stayed by her until Lando came in, she moved out the way and shouted ‘surprise’ causing a scare to Lila.

“Awww look at you!!” He said, she was crying now, her mum and Mimi yelling out of the blue and Lando showing up, she was utterly confused and scared. It hadn’t ruined the mood however.

“I didn’t think she’d be so scared.” Her mum said to Lando when he picked her up. “Happy Birthday lan.” She added kissing him.

“Thank you my love.” He said. He looked around while rocking Lila to a calm state, the baby realizing Lando was rocking her and melting into his chest.

“Did you see her onesie?” Cisca asked. “I think it’s adorable.” She smiled and hugged Lando. He held his baby back and read the onesie.

“Aww! My sweetheart.” He said when she smiled at his face. He kissed her head and held her on his chest again, enjoying his favorite people spoiling him.

Even if Lila interrupted the fun they were having with her cries, Lando didn’t hesitate to soothe her cries. His wife tried taking her and he turned Lila away from her. “It’s your birthday lan, I can take her.”

“It is my birthday, and I want to hold my babygirl.” He said. She giggled. He always took over as the main parent when he was home for a few days or weeks.

He enjoyed his day, being spoiled while Lila slept or just calmly enjoyed being in Lando’s arms.

Oscar one is on its way 🙃

Yacht Adventures

Summary— 3 F1 drivers take their families out for a fun boat ride on Charles’s yacht

Warnings— none…?

A/N— I thought this idea was fun, I added a bit more Lila and mum scenes too!

Dad Fic List

Lando and Charles would pass in the paddock and Lila would say hi from the French words he taught her, her little ‘bonjour’ or ‘salut’ was the highlight of Charles day. There was a break soon and Charles stopped Lando this time, little Lila getting shy.

“Do you want to come with me, Carlos and your dad on a boat adventure?” Charles asked her. She looked to her dad and nodded.

“Please daddy please!” She was excited and Lando smiled. The two stayed in touch, both living in Monaco. Lila asked every day, at every hour when they were going. The day came quicker than expected and she was so giddy and excited.

Carlos brought his two little ones, Carlo and Vivi. While Charles also had his little girl, Juliette. “There she is!” Charles said, Juliette would not shut up about seeing Lila again. Charles didn’t bring her around the paddock, his team not as fun or interactive.

“Papa, Lila and uncle LaLa!” Juliette said, her little French accent was to die for. The four little kids went off to play and their parents talked. The boat sailed for a while until they were just wading in the water. There was a shallow part near a beach for the kids to be able to stand up.

“Lila, sweetheart come see.” Lando said. Lila padded her feet to get to him and he kneeled down. “Mama is going to put sunscreen on so we don’t get hurt from the sun okay?” Lila nodded and ran up to her mum. Rebecca and Alex doing the same for their kids.

“Lila I love your swimsuit.” Alex commented, her little girl squirming at the cold sun lotion. Lila giggled and her face went red.

“Say thank you my love.” Her mum reminded her, beginning to put the cold lotion on her body. She flinched away at the cold and her mum stopped. “What’s the matter?” She asked.

“It’s cold mama!” She yelled. Her mum knew it was cold, so she rubbed her hands together to warm it up and then continued to lather it generously. The little girl was pale from the winter, but could tan better than Lando if she had the right amount of sunscreen on.

“Better?” Her mum smiled. Lila gave her a smile back. Her mum grabbed a different bottle and used it on Lila’s face. Lila hated it. She screamed again and held her mums wrist while stomping her feet.

“Why are you screaming sweetheart?” Lando asked from behind her. Her mum looked to Lando and he giggled, realizing why. “Lila it’s so the sun doesn’t hurt you, if mama doesn’t put it on your face, it’ll be red.” He wasn’t lying and Lila knew it. She calmed down at his words and her mum picked her up.

“All done!” Her mum said smiling at the upset toddler. Lila giggled, she loved when her mum would say that when she was done putting something on Lila. Lando wiped a tear away and pointed to her friends already on their way to the beach.

They got in the water and headed towards them, the kids having their fun in the water. Lila joined and splashed water, made sandcastles, and her favorite was learning French from the Monegasque. “Château de sable.” Charles said slowly.

“Chat-oh dee sable!” Lila tried. Juliette said it and Lila giggled. Saying it over and over until she got it right. “Daddy! Mama! Look at my château de sable!” She said, running up to them.

“That’s awesome sweetheart, what does that mean?” Lando asked, unaware Charles and Juliette were teaching her French. Lila ran off again leaving Lando speechless. “What is that?” He asked his wife.

“Fuck if I know.” She laughed, the kids didn’t hear her curse. Lando laughed and Charles told them it meant sandcastle. “Don’t go teaching her another language, she’ll start cussing us out in French.” She laughed.

“Jules already does that.” Charles said. “I don’t know what Alex is teaching her.” Alex playfully swatted at him and the little girl came up to them.

“Papa, can we go back on the boat?” She whined. Charles redirected her to go play with Vivi, the little girl only playing with her brother most of the time.

“Carlo is mean.” She said innocently to him. “He stepped on my sandcastle!” She made a new one, but still.

“He’s just a boy Jules.” Lando said. Charles sighed and walked with Juliette over to the Spanish pair of kids.

“Carlos what’s this I’m hearing of Carlo being mean?” Charles asked. “Juliette is not happy.” Charles looked to his daughter who didn’t look the part of unhappy. Splashing Lila and Vivi like nothing happened

“Mate, he’s been mean to me today, I think he’s mad it’s only girls his age.” Carlos chuckled. “Carlo! Do not throw the sand son!” He yelled. Luckily Rebecca stopped the hand before it tossed sand.

Lila ran back to her parents upset, Juliette and Vivi stopped splashing her and played by themselves further off. She was whiny and tired for sure. The sun mixed with her nap time was not ideal. “Oh my baby, come see mama.”

Lila crawled onto her mums chest and relaxed. Tears no longer present. Her mum rubbed her back and cooed sweet nothings to her. Lando took off his hat and placed it over Lila’s head, blocking the sun.

“Lan.” His wife said warningly. “Leave her alone.” Soon the others also started complaining about stupid things and they all headed back to the boat for a group nap time. Charles showed them the room under the deck and the girls slept soundly on the bed together. Carlo refusing to take a nap on the same bed, so his mum put him on the couch across the room.

“Lila seems like a handful no?” Rebecca asked. Truth be told yes, she was daddy’s little princess and mamas little helper, she was clingy and they loved it.

“Sometimes, she’s just very clingy, gets it from Lando.” Her mum laughed. “I don’t know what I’ll do when she finds out I’m pregnant and she doesn’t get all my attention.” The others all knew a second baby Norris was expected, but Lila hadn’t had the courage to ask why her mums belly was getting bigger yet.

“When you start showing more she’ll be more inclined to ask I’m sure.” Alex said. “Jules already asked me why.” She giggled. The little girl swapped languages to ask Alex why. “I told her everyone has different body types, because kids repeat that kind of stuff you know?” Props to Alex because Rebecca would’ve told her two the truth.

Btw Alex and Rebecca were added to make it easier to write! If you submit a request for them to be in it by all means but they don’t have to be
