A Big Decision (Teen Dad!Oscar AU)

(Part 8 of Teen Dad!OP au [Can be read on its own])

Summary: It is time to pop the big question

The twins had finally gone down for a nap after spending so long fighting it. The kids, at age three, have started to fight them more and more, leading their parents to start discussing if it's time for naps to stop. Honey, being a stay at home mom, had needed the nap time as much as her kids had in the past, giving her time to catch up on chores or just rest for a little, so she was really trying to get as much time as she could with it. But maybe it truly was over.

She was surprised to see Oscar pacing in their living room once she went back downstairs.

“Well, aren't you home early?” She says as Oscar immediately wraps his arms around her, burying his head in her neck and kissing it.

“Missed you all, did what they needed from me extra fast so I could get home earlier. Thought we could maybe go out tonight?”

“Oscar, it's a friday night. Do you know how impossible getting a babysitter would be? The kids also take a while to warm up to babysitters, I don’t think it's a good idea.”

“Good thing I thought ahead then. Lando had a free night and has been begging to see them after the last ‘betrayal’ when they wore Sargeant hats. Even better, he said he would do it for free if it meant working towards being the favorite.”

“Oscar, you can’t get your coworkers to babysit your twin toddlers for free by dangling favoritism in their faces.”

“It was his idea! I am just capitalizing off of it. I got us a nice reservation too, we just need to let him now in the next…” Oscar checks his wrist where his watch usually rests but finds it missing, “uh now. So I need an answer quickly, are we going to stay home and eat the same leftovers we have had for the past two days, or are we going to make Lando Norris the happiest man alive by letting him watch our kids for free while we have an amazingly romantic dinner?” Oscar quickly asks as he takes his ex-fiancee, now girlfriend, in his arms.

“Fine, let's go out, we could use the night off. Let Lando know I appreciate him watching them for us.”

“Perfect, why don’t you go out, do something nice for yourself, I'll take over with the kids. We still have time before dinner tonight.” Oscar suggested in a strange tone as he kissed all surface area of her face.

“What is up with you today? I don’t mind it but you are so much more touchy.” She laughed.

“Don’t worry bout a thing.” Was all he replied as he walked away. “Tonight will be the best yet, I promise.”

That’s when it struck her, why he was being so weird. Surely, he was going to propose.

After the huge fight in Suzuka, she had called the engagement off, causing them to ignore each other’s existence unless it came to the kids, for seven weeks. Since they had gotten back together, life had been blissful. Sure, it was most likely the ‘honeymoon’ phase of their relationship, but even so, they had been so ready to marry each other before things started going downhill. Maybe days after they got back together isn’t the right time to get engaged, but they had been to hell and back together since they got pregnant at 18 years old, they were it for each other, always would be. 

Oscar taking off of racing had also been a blessing. It had been hard for him, certainly. But he had needed to learn how to put his family first again, a priority that got harder to keep up with since joining Formula 1. 

As she sat in the nail salon chair, getting what were hopefully her engagement nails done, she thought back to how far they’d come. 

Arriving home with her nails done, and after getting the most amazing massage, Honey was giddy as she greeted her, hopefully, soon to be fiancé. After an hour and a half of filling her head with wedding plans and thinking about their future when she would finally get to be Mrs. Piastri after 7 years, she was more excited then she was the first time he proposed. 

This excitement continued from the moment she stepped into the shower, till the moment she sat in her seat at the restaurant. Oscar had hired a driver for the night, saying it was a night all for them, no need to be careful of how many drinks they were going to have, he had also told her he had plans to take them to the beach after where they could finish the night with a picnic by the water and stay as late as they liked. 

There was one thing that was off about him though, while she had expected nerves, she had also expected excitement from him and soon noticed the more giggly she was, the more upset he seemed to be. Maybe he realized she had caught on?

She finally asked what was up after he spilt his drink.

“Seriously Osc, what is wrong with you? You claim this is such a nice night for just the two of us but you are a mess right now!”

“It’s nothing, I’m sorry I don’t know why I’m like th-”

“Bullshit. I thought I made it clear how awful of a liar you are Oscar Jack Piastri, just tell me. Please?”

Silence filled the air as he stared at her, words failing.

“I will get up if you don’t-”

“I had a meeting with higher ups at McLaren earlier today and was told if I don’t come back then I am out of the contract and I agreed to come back for the Spanish Grand Prix!” Oscar blurted out.

Again, a heavy silence landed on the couple, both of them daring the other one to speak first.

Then, without a single word, Honey got up from the table and walked to the car leaving Oscar at the table, tears starting to fall.

Part 2 coming tomorrow!

"If I got shot by a dog," my partner began, "would you avenge my death?"

We both knew the answer. Dogs are the perfect creature, entirely blameless for any perceived offence. To hold one of nature's ideal beings responsible using our corrupt series of flawed laws would be a moral crime in its own right. If anything, we would be the oppressors.

"No," I barked towards the Caprice's dashboard.

Working in Animal Control had become significantly more difficult after those scientists figured out how to give dogs the power of speech. Suddenly, they were no longer our beloved companions. It turns out, all these years, dogs had just been going along with it because they didn't really understand how the law worked, and didn't seem to want legal personhood. Then they did. Things went downhill from there. You ever tried to deny a gang of vicious Dachshunds the fruits of their labours?

It's not what I signed up for, is all. What I wanted to do was help doggies and kitties get back to their loving homes. Turns out that makes me a bad guy. And that's exactly what I looked like that fateful night that I responded to a break-in at the old atomic laboratory.

"Bad dog! Drop that Strontium-90!" I yelled at a Schnauzer, my shaking hands holding a can of mace.

Suddenly, I was blinded by lights. Studio lights. It was a sting, set up by the local TV news to capture anti-canine brutality. I lost my job, and my attorney made me do a bunch of speeches to the kids at the newly-mixed high schools, explaining why what I did was a hate crime.

All I can say is that it's a good thing cats weren't interested. They knew they were at the top of the social pecking order already. Sorry, force of habit. I know magpies are trying to get the vote.

I can't stop thinking about the Watcher thing it's just so fascinatingly bizarre . like so many components of that decision and how they handled it were so bad and so completely out of left field for how they've operated in the past I am baffled . Someone put these guys under a microscope Stat

#watcher #like ?? it all boils down to money i know but wow #like i dont think Anyone would've cared that they introduced a subscription service if they hadnt announced it in the worst most victim #complex way possible + made SUCH a stark leap from completely paid to completely behind a paywall ?? i do not know how they expected that t #go over well #i guess i am just most baffled by the way it seems to suggest that they are just so out of touch when previously #they seemed overall very humble and down to earth #i do not think theyre just like evil money hungry freaks or something #like definitely its also that they also just want to keep improving and making better stuff and that takes more money but also . #like ....... their content Has gone a little downhill despite it all . i think most people have been thinking that and just holding out hop #that it wasnt true. #idk im gonna stop talking its not important #i dont even know why im so invested in this actually . its just . so bizarre as previously stated #trainwreck etc. #i am glad they frantically took everything back dear god #funny to watch a little i must admit #mine

me when im obsessed with dead singers from 50 (well... mostly 70-120) years ago and im heartbroken to know i'll never see them on stage... never hear them breathe, never see them sweat, never even touch the hem of their garment...

it really is enough to drive a person mad...

#this is so funny because this is the one vaguepost that i wholeheartedly 100% agree with skdhsjshsjdhsn #like yeah!! it does indeed pain me that the level of operatic singing has so drastically decreased over the last 50 years! #that top operatic stars of today are all either nasal or wobbly or knödely or completely inaudible without microphones #but some of yall are just not ready for this conversation. example a #anyway. as many have said before. its kinda easier to understand how some people cant appreciate certain operas #if they never heard them sung well lol #sorry im out of blood today. i know this is a very uncomfortable subject for many but. #you can actually judge someone's singing in a pretty objective way. there are nuances of course. but from a technical point of view #it really is pretty simple #(also its not like i dont enjoy *some* modern singers lol have you SEEN my kwiecień posting???? lmao #hell. there are even some modern singers i have a soft spot who i KNOW sing... Not Very Well. but i enjoy them lol #not many ofc but. yknow) #also 50 years ago would be the 1970s if im doing my maths correctly and. that is really the point in opera history #when it all started going downhill (sadly partly because of one of my all time favourite singers' influence... but thats a different story) #anyway. remember when luis tetrazzini said that the future generations of singers will be The Best singers in history #because they'll have access to all those recordings of The Greats Of The Past that they'll be able to listen to and learn from? #lmao queen you were right about so many things but that was tragically not one of them </3 #opera tag #yes im stirring the pot of boiling liquid shit and putting this post gently into the main tag #*luisA tetrazzini ofc #lol and lmao im out FOR blood* shdgsjsghs

[girlwithfish]

him saying he had a savior complex towards me is funny bc he was slowly killing me and sucking the happiness and life out of me and also causing me extreme distress for over a year

#if thats what you think saving me entails #Likeee hes just dumb then sorry....oh my partner is saying No. let me continue to attack her #LOL #Like its crazy when someone takes away that basic autonomy and power to say no from you. it just becomes normalized #once the boundary is crossed and constantly violated and u just give in to ur power to say no being taken away #its all downhill from there #the basic rule of autonomy that u learn at such a young age that no means no and this 23 year old man did not understand it #i think they do understand they just dont care #which is so enraging honestly. like someone who cares for you will stop when u say no or stop its basic consent and respect #And as for physically attacking me at times like fuck you for real no normal person does that u r literally unwell idk

[bbeelzemon]

gonna be real with you guys for a minute. i want the nasty old man Vulture in spiderverse 2 to have nasty old man sex.

#not saying anything further on the matter. those of you who followed me in 2018 already know my sins #spiderverse spoilers #<- idk maybe. just in case #[LIE - DIFFICULT] im not gonna get obsessed. #im not! im not. i wont. nope. im not. #holding back the urge to draw him cuz i know once i do its all gonna be downhill from there.

[sk3l3t0n444]

i feel like everybody hates me, but especially those who i look up to...i feel like a little kid again...looking up to those who only look down upon me, instead of picking me up and embracing me.

#i just feel like nobody fucking likes me...like everybody secretly hates me and are actively trying to make me feel bad about myself #like i know that probably isnt true...but its the only thing that make sense #like no matter what i do everybody seems to leave me alone in my own little bubble... #everybody has their little groups with their little friends...but i dont...im the one who is a small member of multiple groups... #and that gets me left in the fucking dust #i just want to belong somewhere...i change and adapt to hopefully become a part of some group but it never works #i just want someone to hold me and tell me itll be ok...and that people dont actually hate me... #ykw if you fucking hate me you can tell me anons are on...i just wanna know im not the crazy one here... #im just trying to fit it so much that ive lost myself...who am i and who is what ive become? #i try and be friendly...and hope that i get accepted somewhere but they never really care... #im like the last kitten left in the cardboard box...all the others were cuter and healthier and now nobody wants me #nobody wanted me from the start...and now im all alone #idfk #i would do anything for a hug rn #since january shit has been going downhill...died...moved...gone...and then i had some people who cared and then it all fell apart again... #i just want to belong somewhere ffs...i want to be able to have friends...not just people who tolerate me... #i would rather have one friend that 10 people who tolerate me #idfk...im going to go eat ice cream until i cant feel any emotions anymore... #if i wasnt a pussy i would be stealing my parents alcohol...they already dont like when i eat... #or maybe i shouldnt eat...then maybe someone would love me...idfk...i just want to feel loved and secure and like i fucking belong

"these characters in a found family would not neatly assign each other roles reminiscent of a nuclear family bc found family is about unnameable bonds that rarely fit into a nuclear family structure"

RIGHT! but also nothing is more funny/tragic than characters assigning each other the roles of a nuclear family as a way of showing how they expect each other to act, and then it all falling apart bc you cant neatly put each other into roles & boxes and when you do it just ends badly<3

anyway i love Celia, 'Father' of her genderqueer 'Son' Rametto, who is nine years younger than her and puts her on a pedestal as his his father figure; and speak of the devil and you shall summon him bc these two less than a decade apart genderfukers can fit so many father-son issues.

kid. kiddo. "isn't that what fathers do, damage their children"- i am shaking you by the shoulders- choosing someone to be your 'Father' does not get rid of that. getting hurt by your parents comes free with having someone hold the role of raising you, and choosing who it is will not stop that hurt.

- now get Celia down from that pedestal before you tell her 'your not my dad' and then watch her crumble under the weight you put on her shoulders; and watch your worldview shatter as you realize she is just a hurt kid like you; and she isn't your father but at the same time, she is in every way that matters, because you placed her there; and you cant take back the damage that did to both of you.

#Celia doesn't have daddy issue #shes the target of someone else's #i love these funky two so much its like Celia & Cecio but even worse. Cecio forces Celia to be his parent but not on purpose #and he doesn't resent her for not living up to that #that much #celia #rametto #thebirdwrites #gold & silver #Rametto just looked at his brothers best friend and decided she was the only motherfucker her respected and so she was his role-model #and it all went downhill from there #CELIA WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU PUT YOUR 'SON' UP FOR 'ADOPTION' ?? #TO YOUR EX? #shaking them<3 #i mean in truth his brother is just to obvious about being a mess to parentify in an idolizing way. #so he picked the next best thing: Celia #this is widely regarded as a bad move #they are sooo adam raised a cain coded<333

Apparently I timed my quitting perfectly

#work tag #the new manager is absolutely awful and since hes taken over nothings been done properly #the managers that are left are sick of everything they barely do anything on shift the slackers are worse than ever #the newbies dont take anything seriously or have any common sense whatsoever so its just completely downhill #we had an EHO visit last week on the boss' close had lost a star on our rating as a result so the area manager came in a couple days later #he bollocked our boss for the way hes been acting but then he went right back to being a prick #so apparently after i left last night the district manager visited and they had to shut the store early for cleaning #but this was after my manager told me that the boss has been blaming everyone for the state of things but #when they offered to close the store and do a deep clean he refused because of money #the district manager was not happy he pulled both managers aside and now theyre gonna have to close the store for a deep clean #but they might also have to shut down temporarily to get everything sorted but the thing is since this new guy took over only about #half of the closing cleaning tasks have been being done because close is usually made up of the slackers and they just dont wanna do #anything properly its been an ongoing issue for months now and now its catching up with them cus theyve got in the habit of not doing it #one of my managers has kept saying he doesnt think the store will last until Christmas but everyone else is sure were gonna be shut #well before that point like its gotten the bad its part of why i quit #anyway i just got the rundown from my coworker who was on close when this all went down last night

jjk s2e5 has me in tears bro the way mappa animated geto and gojo's last real conversation is so heartwrenching im in physical pain from it. the way gojo is outraged, the was he moves and rages but cant take a single step forward, the way his voice hitches when he raises his hands, knowing deep down what this will all lead to. the way he shakes. the way his hands shake. im unwell.

#when yaga told him and the scene cut to his hamds bleeding.... im gonna end it all #the way it was an ordinary sunny day and the way the people around them were mere backround to them #if gojo wanted to. he could have blasted a purple then and there but he couldn't brring himself to do so not for some care for random ppl #but bc he didnt wanna hurt his one and only #im SICK #its all downhill from here too like goddamn #'life gets better do NOT start reading' wish id taken the advice 😔😔 #getos shower scene was SO GOOD TOO #oh my god when the sound of the water turned into clapping i wanted to chop my own head off frfr #jjk #jjk season 2 #pebbles (me) ramblers
