Sally was over at Flo and Ramones, She was crying hard. it had been two weeks sense she felt like she lost Lightning completely and it was not what she wanted. Flo hugged Sally tightly and did admit "Sally you know I love you but?.. Maybe this is best?.. The two of you never were the same after the crash?.." Sally wiped her tears and nodded saying "But it wasn't the crash?.. It was me?.. I messed up and created this mess!?.." Ramone frowned and brought them tea before heading to work himself. Sally wiped her eyes and then announced "It's not just that he wants a divorce Flo?.. He told me Cruz is pregnant too?!" Flo's eyes widened as she asked "He?.. I thought you said he wasn't sleeping with her anymore?" Sally sniffled answering "I didn't think he was!?.. He lied to me.." Flo shook her head and held Sally close. Sally, who was like her own duaghter to her. Flo tried to cheer her up and distract her, "Why don't you take a break from your work and bring colton and help me work at the cafe? Get your mind off this? These last few weeks have been tough on you and you gotta lool after those twins in there sweetie." Sally rubbed her still barely showing belly and nodded.

So as Flo suggested Sally helped out at.the cafe. Trying not to be so upset about.. Everything. Lightning and her hadn't talked sen see e he left. It was hard for Sally to accept that Lightning had chosen Cruz. That Lightning had gotten her pregnant and chose to be a family with her. It hurt beyonf anything else! Sally began ringing up a line of people. Not paying to much attention to them. Just their bills and money, rining them up and handing them cash and or a receipt. She took one of the last customers. She sighed and took the bill stating "That'll be thirteen ninety five.." 95.. That number rang in her head.. The man spoke her name "What has Miss Sally so down?" That Italian accent!? Sally looked up seeing.. Francesco Bernoulli. She smiled a little answering "It's nothing. I'm just a little despressed.. Being alone all the time and.." She stopped and felt so queazy. She grabbed her stomach and her mouth mumbling "Excuse me.." She walked quickly away. Leaving Francesco for a moment. When she came back she had Colton on her hip and apologized "I'm sorry about that.. The joys of pregnancy." She joked with a giggle. Francesco's eyes widened asking "You are pregnant?" Sally nodded and finished ringing the Italian up. Francesco asked "Why do you not tell Francesco?" Sally laughed a little explaining "Well I guess I just didn't know how? I mean it's kinda difficult to come out with Hey?.. I'm pregnant? And I thought you'd be back in Italy by now?" She shrugged. Francesco nodded "Ci.. Francesco has family matters to attend.."

He then stared at her baby bump that he thought was a bit large for her early pregnancy? "But?.. do not take this offensive Miss Sally but?.. You can't be more than a few weeks? You seem large for that? You are smal!? But.. For your pregnancy?.." Sally giggled and explained as she adjusted Colton on her hip. "Yeah well. That's cause it's twins." "Gemelli!?." Sally stared unsure what he said. Francesco stared silent. The customers behind began to become impatient. Sally spoke up, "Well I gotta get these other customers but, It was good to see you again Francesco." Francesco nodded and stepped aside "You uh.. You to.." He began to leave but stopped and thought for a moment before walking back up in front of a paying customer saying "We should do dinner. Talk about this." Sally raised a brow asking "There's not much to talk about? I mean what's done is done? Lightning doesn't seem to care.." Francesco's brows lowered snarling "Well Francesco does not care of McQueen!? Francesco insists on helping you." Sally was surpised and opened her mouth to reply but customers started complaing, "Hey come on man?! I wanna get out of here and head back to my room!?" Francesco turned and snarled at the man, "Do you not know who Francesco is!?" The man placed his hands on his hips answering rudely "Francesco. I only know cause you've only said it like ten times!? now get in line!" Francesco was about to go off at the man but Sally grabbed Francisco's arm pulling away and giving in, "Alright Francesco.. I'll have dinner with you tonight just?.. Go on and leave the customers alone.."

Francesco grabbed her hands and replied "You must know that Francesco is here. My mama and papa were in a similar situation.. Francesco knows what it is like without a papa and.. And does not want them to suffer that." Sally stared and asked "You want to be involved?.." Francesco nodded "Ofcourse Miss Sally. Francesco would be honored." Sally's eyes widened surprised. The customers began to complain loudly. Sally nodded slowly and replied back "Okay... Well?.. wow?.. We can talk tonight I guess?.. I'll call you when I finish here.." She left to her work. Francesco sighed and left himself to prepare for tonight...

Cruz was readying herself for the race. She was sitting in her trailer crisscrossed. Breathing in and out. Alone. Or she thought, Then she felt his warm breath against the back of her neck followed by a tender kiss. She giggled "Lightning?.. what are you doing!?" She opened her eyes and pushed him away, "I'm trying to meditate before the race!?" Lightning sat down beside her and asked "You sure you wanna race today?" Cruz nodded answering "There's only a few races left. I wanna finish the season and win the cup before taking maternity leave." Lightning nodded. Cruz grabbed Lightning's hand and asked "When can we go out in public together?.." Lightning sighed answering "I haven't thought to much about it?.. It's been crazy enough trying to keep the media from me and Sally?.. Maybe once the divorce is final?" Cruz frowned whining "But that could be months?!.. i want to show you off and introduce you to my friends!? You expect me to have to go through the entore pregnancy hiding the father?" Lightning knew she was right and thought about it before purposing "Okay.. How about tonight?.. Tonight I take you on a real first date?"

Cruz smiled wide and became super excited! "Really!? oh yes!!! Yes Lightning!" She wrapped her arms around him and kissed him with such passion! "You and I are gonna have some super good fun after our date then!" Lightning smiled at his young girlfriend but she wasn't the love of his life. Tex knocked and walked in. The way Cruz and Lightning were on the floor confirmed what he hoped wasn't true. Tex looked mad as he spoke up "So it is going on. The two of you are still seeing each other?" Cruz frowned as Lightning stood up explaining "Tex it's not as bad as it looks?.. Sally and are are getting a divorce and Cruz and I."- "She's pregnant." Tex interrupted. Lightning and Cruz stood up and in awe that Tex knew?! Cruz asked "How did you know?.." Tex sighed answering "You left your test results from your drug test in the trialer last week Cruz." Cruz frowned and was embarrassed. Tex shook his head and snarled "This makes me mad. You should have told me Cruz. You two should have been alot more careful.. Lightning I'm gonna want to talk to you alone." Lightning nodded and glanced at Cruz. Cruz sighed and grabbed her helmet before exiting the trailer...

Sally finished up a shift and was counting tips while bouncing Colton on her knee. Flo walked over and asked "Did working here help any honey?" Sally nodded "Yes. Very much Flo." Flo smiled seeing Sally in a better mood. "Glad to see you a little happier. Anytime you need me, you know I'm here." Sally nodded again "Thanks Flo. Actually something weird happened? Francesco was here and he said he wants to help me with the twins?" Flo raised a brow asking "He wants to help?" Sally replied "Yea? Thats strange right?" Flo shrugged answering "I guess? Doesn't he live in Italy?" Sally sighed saying "Yeah but?.. It's nice having someone not even care if there Lightning's and just offer to help? its actually kinda sweet of him." Flo smiled and asked "You wouldn't leave town for Francesco?.. Would you?" Sally's eyes widened answering quickly "No!? I could never leave town? This place is my home it's just.. Ive been really lonely so? Its nice of Francesco. Plus he's nice to look at even at his age." Flo and Sally both laughed at that. "He's taking me to dinner tonight." Sally added. Flo raised her brows surprised "Well now? Sounds like he wants more." she smiled and winked. Sally rolled her eyes and frowned saying "It was just fun what we had before. I only love Lightning Flo.." Flo sighed replying "Forget Lightning tonight. I'll take this sweet boy and watch him so you and Francesco can have such a lovely time." Sally frowned adding "I'd bever had even met Francesco if it weren't for Lightning?.. I don't know?.. I don't think I can do this.."

Flo patted Sally's hand and asked "Has Lightning even talked to you about seeing Colton?" Sslly shook her head answering "No.. We have to finish the divorce still so?.. Whenever that comes in for signing I'll see him?.." Flo frowned and explained "Sally I'm afraid Lightning is gone honey?.. If Francesco likes you enough why not enjoy it?.." Sally took Colton and stood.up to leave "Because I made him leave Flo?.. I should never have slept with Ben from the start?.. I should have been in that hospital?.." She left upset. Missing Lightning..

Lightning waited in the living room for Cruz to come out of the bedroom to go on their first... Public.. date.. Lightning's nerves were getting to him and he was a bit scared. He kmew at least one person would spot them. But he owed Cruz this.He began tapping his foot and constantly checking the time. He hadn't been on a date with anyone besides Sally in so long. Then Cruz came out. "I'm ready.." She said shyly. Lightning turned toward her and "Wow?..." He stood up from his seat staring at her. "You look amazing." He said softly complimenting. She was wearing a long black and white striped maxi dress that hung off the shoulders. Cruz blushed and asked "Do I look pregnant yet?.. Cause I feel it.." She frowned. Lightning walked closer and lifted her chin to his face answering "You look beautiful.. Perfect for our date.." Cruz smiled a little. And gosh she did. Her brown hair in a side curly piny tail and make up all smoky eyed with white sandals on her feet. "Come on.. Let's enjoy tonight." Lightning said as he took her hand and they left for their date.

They did have a lot of eyes on them aa they walked into the restaurant. Which felt more like a club. But Cruz had picked it out and this date was more for her. There was even a dance floor. Playing music that wasn't exaxtly what Lightning was use to for sure. They sat at their table. They were being watched. It was obvious even as people tried pretending they didn't see them or reconize them. Cruz grabbed Lightning's hand saying "Thank you.. This means so much to me." Lightning nodded. Somehow it didn't feel completely right. "Now I wanna twll my parents before we go arouns sayinf we are... You know.." Lightning's wyes widened. Cruz's parents.. This was getting more and more real. It was kinda scaring him. So he began kinda drinking to help his nerves. They had some salads first but Cruz began to notice his drinking faster than he probably should be? "Hey?.. Are you sure your okay?" She asked. Lightning sipped the rest of his wine down nodding. Suddenly a flash went off as a young kid passed them by and ran off with their photo. Lightning blushed. Cruz sighed saying "You know?.. We can just go home if you want?.." Lightning waved for another drink and shook his head "No. This is your night and after all you deserve this Sally, Cruz! I said Cruz." Cruz glared a bit but let it slide sense she had been the other woman for so long. When the waiter poured another drink Cruz kinda scolded "Maybe that's enough Mr McQueen?.. The bill is already over four hundred?" Lightning sipped some and thought maybe Cruz was right. Lightning sighed and pushed the glass away saying "You know I love it when you call me that." Cruz snickered back "You're drunk. You wanna go home?"

Lightning stood up and kissed Cruz's lips. Pulling her bottom lip with a bit of sucking it as he pulled away and released her. Cruz was surprised mostly because they were in public. "Mr McQueen?.. You... I?." Cruz was speachless. Lightning sat back down ans said "Why dont we enjoy dinner?" Cruz nodded staring all wide eyed. He was tipping and verging just full on stupidity at this point. But Cruz let it be ans remained seated. Lightning gazed at her as his nerves calmed down. "I love that spaced out blank stare of yours.." Cruz rolled her eyes at his weird compliment. Then Lightning got up and sat next to Cruz instead of across and wrapped one his arms around her. "I want everyone to know.. That you're my girl now..Mine alone.." He kissed her neck and rubbed her leg with his hand slowly going up. Cruz hid her face into his blushing as Lightning began to suck her neck and kiss it. Biting tenderly and his hand continued into her panties. Cruz quietly exhaled. But oh it turned him on. "Lightning.. We are... In public.." Lightning smiled pulling away saying "That's what makes it fun?" He kissed her lips so lustfully. They caught the eyes of other couples. Lightning noticably kissed Cruz with his mouth open and toungue out, taking in her tongue and sucking it gently. Cruz could faintly hear the sound of a few gasps!

Lightning pushed his hand into her panties again under the table and pushed a finger inside her. Cruz pulled her face away and grabbed his hand softly ordering "Stop.. Wait til we are home.. Please.." Lightning thrusted his finger in and out of Cruz's area a few times before pulling away and then licking his finger, sucking and cleaning off her juices. Cruz blushed but now she was all kinds of turned on! Cruz grabbed Lightning's groin through the pants. Lightning yiped a bit from the pressure. Mayhe even jumped a small bit. Cruz began rubbing his member through the pants. Lightning cleared his throat and closed his eyes in the pleasure as Cruz tightly and barely fit her hand inside his pants and began stroking his member slowly but firmly. Lightning's bresthing became quicker as hks hands became fists. He swallowed hard and enjoyed the pleasure for a moment. He leaned his head back and quielty moaned. Cruz giggled blushing and shooshed him quietly. Lightning grabbed her hand saying "You gotta stop.. I'm going to explode if you keep it up.." He said in her ear. Cruz looked around then replied in a whisper "Go ahead and cum here baby.. I can cover it up easily." Lightning raised a brow but then she began stroking his a little tighter and faster and more at the base then tip. Lightning grabbed the cloth of the table and bit his lip. "It's too obvious?.. Please... Stop?!" He whispered loudly but then he couldn't hold it as he felt the warmth of his climax explode in his pants! He turned red and held his breath feeling the release. But now it could be obvious if he even stood up. Not to mention the fresh smell of cum now. But as Cruz pulled her hand away she accidentally spilled the wine all over Lightning's pants! Lightning jumped a bit tossing hisn hands up snarling "What was that for!? I.." He realized she had spilled this in his lap on purpose to cover the stain of cum and smell. Actually kinda smart of Cruz?...

Sally and Francesco sat at a table at Wheel Well again. Enjoying some live music and dinner. Francesco smiled watching the musicians. "Who decided to hire the band?" Francesco asked. Sally smiled answering "I did. The place needed someone to help it still be a nice and?.. Happy place.. Withput Lightning around I just?.. This place isn't entirely the same.." She frowned. Francesco nodded asking "So.. The uh?.. Pregnancy is going well I assume?" Sally stared. When he talked out of third person it was weird. But she nodded. Francesco asked "Why would you not tell me?" Sally shrugged answering "Well?.. I didn't want you to turn away from me and think I was disgusting or something.. I'm embarrassed really.. I'm sorry." Francesco frowned explaining "Sally you do not have to be embarrassed?.. I have messed up to. But Francesco promises to be by your side. You know I could always be more involved if I had my own place here?" He smiled. Sally stared surprised asking "It's weird enough you are saying I and not Francesco but?.. I don't understand why you care so much about my pregnancy?" Francesco explained "Well why wouldn't Francesco? Plus in all honestly.. Francesco has been a child who's father was in another country. And I do not want that." Sally raised a brow confused a bit. Then a few people started to get onto their phones and gasp and awe and talk. Sally looked around asking "What on earth could be going on?" Francesco took out his phone and eyes widened admitted "You will not like it.. It is McQueen.." Sally stared and grabbed her phone out. On social site was a photo of Lightning with his tongue down Cruz's throat. They were in public!? Sally felt dizzy and sick as she stood up saying "I have ti go.. I dont.." and she fell fainting! Francesco knelt down and called out "Someone call the hospital!"...
