Summary: What happens 6 Months after the last truck jacking Feedback: I would like feedback since this is my first time doing this. Just be gentle with me! 1. There was enough Corona in the house to float the Spanish Armada. Limes and salt stood ready for the tequila Dom had stocked up on in anticipation of their arrival. The house was a clean as it was gonna get and he was getting antsy. Almost 6 months had passed since the shit hit the fan. They had all agreed that if anything ever went wrong that they would split up and lay low for 6 months. Well, something had definitely gone wrong and it was his fault. Now he just hoped they would forgive him and show up as planned. He knew Mia and Leon would show, but Vince had been hurt pretty bad and Letty...God, he hoped Letty was all right. He didn�t know, not for sure, how any of them were. No contact had also been a part of the plan. The hardest part. Not seeing his sister for 6 months had been bad, but being without Letty...it had been like walking around with a gaping hole in his chest where his heart shoulda been. He had seen her practically every single day since she was 10 years old and these past 6 months without her had been pure gut-wrenching HELL. God, he hoped they got there soon. He was sick and tired of being alone. Not that he necessarily had to be. There was a waitress at his favorite local bar who had let him know in no uncertain terms that if he ever wanted to get laid, she was more than available. Once...he had almost given into temptation, but he had remembered the wounded look on Letty's face when she had found out about him fuckin Tran's sister. Shit, it took forever to get back into her good graces and her pants and after everything that went down, he wasn�t willing to risk it. So 6 months of self-imposed celibacy seemed a small price to pay. 2. Two days passed before the first of them arrived. Dom had driven up to his "Little Piece of Paradise" as he like to call the hacienda style house he had purchased with a chunk of his...(ill gotten gains?)...savings and seen the white Jetta parked out front. The car reminded him of Jesse. He knew that Jesse wouldn�t be waiting inside the house for him but for a split second he almost believed he that would see the hyper kid again. Jesse's death had been horrible and his blood was still on his hands. No, it wasn�t Jesse, but who was it? Dom parked the 65 Mustang Cobra and raced into the house. Flinging the door open he found Leon sprawled on the big leather couch in the living room. "Bro!" "Dom!" The two men embraced awkwardly and ended up slapping each other on the back with as much machismo as possible. "How was your trip down, man? You hungry? Thirsty?" Dom was so glad to finally have company. He wasn�t a solitary man and it hit him how much he missed the team. Leon took Dom up on his offer of food and drink and guzzled a Corona as he told Dom of what had happened 6 months earlier. He had taken Letty to the hospital after dropping him and Mia at home and then gotten the hell outta Dodge. Letty was gonna claim to have been beaten up by an ex-boyfriend, give a fake name to get checked out and then split herself. He hadn�t seen her again after leaving the hospital. He had hopped a bus heading north and gone to Canada. He had family there who wouldn�t rat him out and besides, grass and prostitution were legal up there. Not such a bad place to lay low for a while. Although he had nearly frozen his ass off for the last few months, the idea of meeting up with Dom and the team in sunny, warm Mexico made it easier. The two men talked well into the night before turning in. Dom took a shower just in case Letty arrived sometime before morning. If she did, he'd have her to wake up to tomorrow. He missed her so much. He wanted everything to be perfect. He had made his room as "Letty-friendly" as possible. He had painted the walls in a rich warm tone that reminded him of the shade of Letty's smooth skin. He'd bought a shitload of those scented candles she loved and the biggest bed he could find. Letty always complained about the double he had back home. She liked her space in bed and with extra king he had now, she would have it. 3. Thinking about Letty's space in his bed gave him a massive hard on. He was pretty damn tired of taking care of business himself and hoped to God that Letty got there soon. Dom tossed and turned for a while before finally falling asleep. Letty opened the door and quietly slipped into the room. Closing the door behind her she walked to the foot of the large bed. She was beautiful in the dim morning light. Her hair was longer and it looked like she had been driving with the windows down. It was messy and all over the place like after a wild session of hot sex. She lightly skimmed her fingertips over the footboard and slowly sashayed over to his side of the bed. She didn't say anything, just looked at him with those long lashed eyes of hers. She ran her hand over her flat stomach and lifted the tight white wifebeater up to show a flash of pale caramel colored flesh. She pulled the shirt off slowly, revealing the lacy black bra underneath. She stood there in the frilly scrap of nothing and a holy pair of ripped-to-shit low rider cut offs. He moved to pull her to him and she stepped back just out of reach. God! She was gonna torture him! Letty undid the snap on her shorts and slid them down her slim legs. She wore white cotton bikini panties. The kind that she knew drove him nuts. He had spent more money buying her new underwear than any man in his right mind would but then he had been the one who ripped them off of her. She used the filtered light from the window to her best advantage turning slowly to show him her profile as she reached behind her to unhook her bra. She arched her back and thrust her chest out, knowing she had his full attention. She slid the bra off and held her arm out to dangle it briefly before letting it fall onto the bed at his feet. He picked it up and held it to his face. It was warm, slightly damp from her sweat and smelled that wonderful Letty smell. Surly she knew she was killing him. He was so hard he wouldn't last long once he had her naked in the bed with him. He watched as she turned slightly more toward the window. The pale light shone against her high rounded breasts. He silently thanked God that Letty wasn't the kind to mutilate herself with silicone. He was a man who appreciated natural tits and her were perfect. Barely more than a handful, but then he had big hands... He smiled in the dark. He wanted to run is tongue over every inch of her body and then make up for the past 6 months by fucking her senseless. Letty must have seen the glint in his eyes. She moved closer, took his hands and placed them on her hips. Oh...God! She was gonna let him rip the little white panties off of her! He swallowed hard and gulped in a huge breath of air that smelled like Letty. He ran his hands over her hips, his thumbs traced over her slightly protruding hipbones and moved under the little strap of cotton on either side. One quick move and he would have what he wanted... "Letty...Letty?" "Fuck!" Dom rolled over and punched the pillow next to his head. It was always the same damn dream and he always woke up before getting Letty naked. He had never been so frustrated in all his life. 4. Dom rolled over and looked at the clock, 6:45 am. It would be hours before Leon woke up. He got of bed and took an icy cold shower. He had to get the Beast under control or he would throw Letty over his shoulder the minute she walked threw the door. He scrambled eggs for breakfast and made coffee, the smell of which brought Leon outta his room yawning and scratching his balls. "Shit. What fuckin time is it? Leon was never chipper in the morning. Dom poured a cup of strong black coffee and handed it to Leon. He took a gulp of the steaming liquid. "It�s not as good as the sludge that Mia makes but it'll do." Leon sputtered. 5. Not knowing who would arrive next or when they decided to head out to pick up a few extra groceries and replenish the Corona that had been sucked down the night before. They ran the errands quickly and returned to the hacienda to find a black truck parked next to Leon's Jetta. Vince? The truck wasn't Letty's style. Dom couldn't help but be a bit disappointed. As they pulled up a thinner, paler, cleaner version of V. exited the house. He had already helped himself to a cold one. Dom noticed the fading scars on V.�s arm and felt a slash of pain remembering the look on his oldest friend's face, white with shock as Spilner, no, Officer O'Conner called for paramedics. Bryan...Dom wondered about him, still not sure if he would welcome him like a brother or just beat the shit out of him and dump him somewhere out in the dessert. Undecided, he turned his attention back to Vince. The 3 men stood in the strained silence. "How are ya, Brotha?" Dom barely got the words out when the blow landed knocking him on his ass in the dirt. Vince looked ready to kill. "That's for leaving me and Letty to the wolves." He held out his hand to help Dom up. His expression changed from one of rage to one of amusement. All was forgiven. They spent the next 4 days going to the beach, getting drunk and Leon and Vince whored around with any available female they could find...Boys will be boys after all. Dom wouldn't let them bring their conquests back to the hacienda for fear that Letty and Mia would be there. Dom's bruised face, ass and ego healed quickly but he learned that Vince's healing was on going. V. had nerve damage in both his arm and leg. It wouldn't matter what kinda car he had he wouldn�t race the quarter mile again. He didn�t have the reflexes or the coordination for it. He was over it now though, he was better under the hood than he was in the driver's seat anyway. And at least the pain wasn�t bad anymore. He was just worried about Letty. 6. Dom couldn't believe his ears. "You mean to tell me they didn't do shit? They just let you go off to some fancy rehab center clear across the country? I wanna know everything that went down." He heard fear in his own voice. Vince took a swig of his beer. "They were all over the place at first. I didn't tell em jack shit. They kept asking were you were and I told them I didn't have a clue. They took all kinds of statement and made threats. Then they showed up one day and said no charges had been filed and that I was free to go. The Doctors wanted to send me to this rehab place in Maine. Fuck, at the time I was in so much pain it never occurred to me to ask who was footing the bill for it. I still don't know." "What about Letty?" Dom paced in front of the wide stone fireplace. Leon straddled a stool at the bar nursing a Corona and Vince sat on the couch with his head in his hands. "I don't know. I asked a nurse if there was a patient there using Letty's fake name and the woman said that she had already been discharged. I don't know where she went and I wasn't about to call Mia in case it was all some sort of tripped up mind fuck." Vince ran a hand through his hair and sighed. "I just don't know." 7. Dom stood leaning against the large wooden mantle, his head down. "Fuck. Oh...fuck." He wanted to break something. Damn Spilner/O'Conner and damn him for insisting on doing the last job with the team a man short. He hadn't been paid enough to risk the lives of everyone he loved and yet he had done it anyway. Oh Christ, they could have let Letty taken the fall for everything. She could be locked away in some hole right now! His beautiful, sweet, bitchy little Letty. The phone rang. Leon answered it. Only 5 people knew the number and 3 of them were in the same room. If could only be Mia or Letty... "Hello?" "Letty's with me. We're about 5 hours out. Tell Dom we'll see him soon." The phone went dead. Dom watched Leon's relieved expression and the tension flowed out of him. "Well?" Dom's voice was still anxious. Leon smiled. "5 more hours. The girls will be here in 5 hours!" "The girls? BOTH of them?" "Yes! BOTH of them!" Leon laughed. "Thank God!" 8. Dom spent the next 3 hours making V. and Leon clean shit up. Letty was coming and there was no way in hell he would let her walk into a fucked up messy house. His new obsession with neatness was sure to impress her. He had everything ready except...Shit! He needed flowers. It was the only girlie indulgence he ever gave her. She certainly deserved them now. He looked at his watch. He had 2 hours. Plenty of time to drive into down and get Letty the most beautiful damn flowers he could find. They arrived 20 minutes after Dom left. Letty had wanted to drive straight through and not stop again so they made really good time. Mia entered the house first. Leon picked her up and swung her around not noticing the blonde following. Vince stood up and reared back ready to throw a knockout punch with his good arm. Mia pulled away from Leon and moved to stand between Bryan and V. "You can�t hit him, V." Mia said firmly. "The fuck I cant!" Vince charged and stopped cold when Mia held up her hand. The ring caught the light. "Oh shit, Mia..." Mia and Bryan entered further into the living room and Letty appeared in the doorway behind them. Leon dropped his Corona and it shattered on the tile kitchen floor. Vince's jaw dropped as he watched Letty walk in. Mia stood protectively by her friend, She knew Letty was tired and eager to get it over with. Vince gasped, "Does Dom know?" At that time Dom walked in. His attention on Letty's back. He noticed her rounded ass in the black capri pants and the tight little tank top that hugged her back. He imagined slipping the little straps off her shoulders before a strange feeling hit him square in the gut. Something was wrong. His brain hardly registered Mia and Bryan's presence. "Does Dom know what?" He growled. Letty turned to face him. Two-dozen bright pink roses costing $89.99 U.S. American dollars dropped to the floor at Dom's feet. 9. "Hey Papi" Letty's hand rested protectively on the swell of her very pregnant belly. She caught Dom's eyes and held them; watching reality of her new physique hit him. Dom stood half in, half out of the house with crushed pink roses all over the toes of his boots. Letty stared or was it glared at him from behind her shades. Her hair was pulled up exposing her shoulders and neck. He could tell from her stance that she was ready for a fight. His eyes moved over the rest of her. Her bulging belly wasn't the only thing that had gotten bigger; Her breasts were definitely fuller. The tiny pink tank top she wore showed off every curve of her pregnancy-enhanced form. Most women covered up while pregnant but apparently not Letty. The bottom half of her belly was exposed revealing a belly button stretched flat. Then it hit him. A sick feeling rose up in his throat. Just how pregnant was she? As far as he knew she wasn't pregnant when the last job went down. If he had known he never would have let her go but she never said anything. Surely she would have said something. Oh GOD! What if Letty had finally gotten back at him for screwing Tran's nympho-skank sister? The thought of Letty with another guy tore at his heart. Dom continued to stand there dumbstruck. Letty watched the question come into his eyes like an ugly accusation and it pissed her off royally. "Yes, you stupid Fuck! It's yours." She wanted to smash his face in or at least break something over that cue ball head of his. 10. "Letty, I, uh, oh God..." It came out as a ragged whisper. Dom let Vince and Leon lead him over to the oversized recliner and he flopped down in it, glad for a soft spot to land. He'd never felt so out of control in all his life. Not when the last hijacking had gone sour. Not when he saw Jesse die on the sidewalk in front of his house. He was numb. Letty took over. " Just shut the hell up, Dom. I've waited a long time for this. I'm not gonna go over it again so listen up. Yes, this baby is yours. Ours. I'm due in about 3 weeks although it could happen at any time really. So try NOT to piss me off." "When? I mean how..." Dom's tongue and his brain weren't working in tandem. "I'm sure you remember the how part. To answer the when; the night Bryan brought you home." Letty winced and rubbed at a spot on her abdomen. Baby Toretto was one hell of a kicker. Yeah, Dom remembered the night all too well. His body tightened at the memory of the "massage" he had given Letty. Hell, he had obviously given her more than that that night. "I didn�t know until after the last job. When they checked me out at the hospital they ran a pregnancy test. That�s standard procedure these days. Anyway, I walked out against medical advice with 3 cracked ribs, a dislocated shoulder and prenatal vitamins. It kinda changed my plans. I didn�t know what to do so I went to Mia. I didn�t know Bryan would be there." Letty didn�t have time to continue before all hell broke loose and Dom leapt onto Bryan trying to pound the shit out of him. "You arrested my pregnant girlfriend?" Dom shouted between punches. Leon and Vince tried to pull Dom off Bryan. Mia jumped on his back and grabbed hold of his ears. She screamed at him. "If you hit my husband one more time, Dom, I swear to..." Dom stopped at the word "husband". So Spilner/O'Conner was family now. Mia would never forgive him if he turned Bryan into a half-witted high school janitor. He had to get control. He got off Bryan and Mia slipped off his back. He turned around and gave her a huge hug. Dom helped a bloody Bryan up from the floor. "Congratulations. Welcome to the family, Bro." Well, that was a little unexpected. One minute Dom was beating the shit outta Bryan and the next they were practically planning were to have Christmas dinner. Everyone seemed a little shell-shocked. Including Letty. She was gripped by a particularly strong Braxton-Hicks. Letty gasped and doubled over slightly wincing at the wicked practice contraction. Dom was by her side instantly. Fear and concern etched on his handsome face. He was one his knees, one large hand on the small of her back, the other on the rise of Letty's stomach ready to help her stand up straight once the spasm passed. For some reason, Baby Toretto took that moment to make its presence known by kicking the spot where Dom's hand rested. That was all it took. 11. Dom jerked his hand off Letty's stomach, His eyes wide as if he had just gotten a jolt of static electricity. Letty laughed that wonderful Letty laugh that he loved so much and had been waiting 6 months to hear. The tension of the past few minutes evaporated. Vince got Bryan 2 Coronas, one to drink and one for his swollen eye. Mia and Leon helped clean up the mess from where Dom had attacked Bryan and then got drinks for themselves. It was party time! Dom was still with Letty. Everything changed in the instant he felt the baby move under his hand. He wasn't ever sure if he had felt it at first but Letty's laugh had reassured him. He pulled the fabric of Letty's tank top up to expose her belly. The skin was stretched smooth and there were a few thin shiny marks here and there. Stretch marks...His Letty had stretch marks! Caused by the growth of his child cradles between her hips. His Child. His. The realization of the tiny life growing inside Letty formed from mist in his brain and spread throughout his body. It curled in his belly and slithered up to wrap itself around his heart. He was gonna be a father! There was a dark line from Letty's belly button that led lead down to...his favorite place on Earth. The skin just to the left of it rippled as a tiny arm or leg stretched in its confined space. Dom looked up into Letty's face. She smiled at him and finally took of her sunglasses. God, she looked so tired. Dom pulled her shirt back down and smoothed his hand over her belly possessively. He kissed her for the first time in 6 months. His hand swept up to the back of her neck and he tilted her head back. Dom nibbled at her lips and Letty's arms went around his neck. She opened her mouth and sucked in Dom's bottom lip. After that, there was no turning back. The kiss told her of everything that Dom wanted to say for the passed 6 months. When they finally parted, Dom had a hard on the size of a Volkswagen. Letty looked ready to drop from exhaustion. Dom made a mental not to feed her well and put her to bed early. Any ideas he had about sex would have to wait. 12. Dinner was BBQ chicken. Bryan and Dom manned the grill. Mia made potato salad, baked beans and cole slaw. Letty tried to help but was given orders to rest by both Dom and Mia. So she laid in a lounge chair in the shade watching Dom watch her. She had so much more to tell him. A basketball landed in her lap with a thud and she threw it back to Vince. "V., Leon! Be careful around Letty or I'll pound both of you!" Dom growled loudly as the one on one B-ball game intruded on Letty's peace. When it was ready, they sat down to eat at the big table in the back yard. Just like old times. Only Jesse was gone. They all felt his loss though no one said anything. After a few minutes, Dom decided to say grace. He didn't really do it often but he was kind of the man of the house and with the baby coming, well, maybe he should get used to it. "Dear Heavenly Father..." He started, hands folded, head bowed, "Thank you for bringing us all back together and for keeping us all safe while we were apart. We really appreciate it. Please continue to watch over us as our family grows..." he peaked over at Letty who looked famished. "And, well, just thanks for everything. " Dom crossed himself although he hadn't seen the inside of a church in years. "Amen" 13. They had ALL be famished. There were no leftovers to take up space in the crowded fridge so that was good. Leon and V. actually insisted on cleaning up. That had been a friggin miracle! When they finished they came back to chill with the rest of the team in the backyard. "I'm confused. Letty, you never really said what happened after Blondie busted you." Leon smirked at Bryan from his perch on top of the picnic table. "I've been kinda wondering that myself. I just didn't want to rush you." Dom sat on the end of Letty's lounge chair with her bare feet in his lap. Bryan and Mia cuddled in the lounger next to them. "Try to stay calm, Bro. Some of this you're not gonna like." Bryan really hoped Dom wouldn't freak. He doubted seriously if Letty could handle any more stress. Letty sighed. Why not start big? "I turned states evidence in exchange for immunity for all of you..." "Shit! Letty, you did what?" Dom felt sick. She was going straight to prison. "Dom just shut the fuck up and listen. I cooperated with the feds and gave them the names they needed in order to make the case. We were just really small fish, Dom. They needed to get to the sharks. A whole bunch of other shit was connected to it all and it was a lot bigger than the insurance fraud we had our hands in. The feds figured it would look better with Great Whites on the line rather than guppies, so I did it. I got a really good bunch of lawyers and turned over every name and detail I had." "Letty, you didn't' know shit. How..." Dom looked at her astonished at what he was hearing. "I have ears, Dom. I listened and kept my mouth shut. I thought if ever you got into trouble, I could help you. Anyway, after they got what they wanted and knew they could use it, they didn't need us anymore. I just had to make restitution for the shit we stole and that was that." Letty was getting sleepy. "Letty? How did you make restitution for 6 million dollars? Dom tried to prepare himself for the worst. Mia reached over Bryan to pat Letty's arm encouragingly. "Don't stop now, Leticia. Might as well tell them everything." Letty told them what happened from beginning to end. The night had grown dark around them and they sat bathed in light coming from inside the house. Dom still sat at her feet. He had thrown his head back to gaze up at the night sky. There were so many stars. Millions and millions. "How much did you say again, Letty?" Dom wasn't sure he heard her right. "Eleven million. There's five left. It was his way of making it up to my mom. He wouldn't have anything to do with her after she ran off with my dad and by the time he had forgiven her ...it was too late, my folks had already died in the accident. Being his only grandchild, he left it all to me. When my name was mention on the news and in the papers a horde of legal types showed up and took over. After that, I moved in with Mia and..." "Waited." Dom ran a finger over the dome of her right ankle. "And waited. I didn�t know what to do about the money so its still sitting in the bank. Mia went back to school and I started manning the lunch counter." Vince chimed in. " You're sitting on five million bucks and working the fucking lunch counter? You sure you didn�t hit your head when you flipped that Honda?" Dom sighed in the dark. A comfortable cool breeze blew in from the ocean. "So it's all over? Just like that? We can all go home?" "Not exactly." Mia said quietly. Bryan pulled her closer wanting to shield her, just in case. "What?" Dom knew the bad news he had braced for was coming. Letty took his hand and held it. "Dom, you have to testify. That was the only condition." "And if I don't?" He looked at Letty in the dark. "If you don�t, Dom, you can�t come home. They'll issue warrants for you and..." Letty broke down. Shit! Letty never cried. Dom didn�t know what to do. He wanted to go home. Get back in the garage, sleep under the same roof he had slept under as a child. He wanted to go home but he didn�t want to be anywhere near a courtroom. Shit! Fuckin Shit! 14. Mia jumped to Letty's rescue pushing Dom "The dumbshit" Toretto out of the way. "Asshole! You stupid shit! See what you did!" Letty opened the floodgates and Mia tried to comfort her and smack the hell out of Dom at the same time. "Its been a hell of a day, Letty, come on and I'll help you unpack." Mia led Letty into the house. The air conditioner hummed to life and freshly cooled air blew throughout the interior. Mia knew Letty's things would be in Dom's room. She also knew that once Letty calmed down she was gonna be pissed. Dom would probably be sleeping on the couch tonight. Letty hated to cry, especially in front of others. It didn't jibe with the badass image she tried to maintain. Mia had seen so many changes in Letty over the last 6 months, mostly due to her pregnancy but also partially due to the fact that she abandoned by Dom. Letty didn't know that she knew but she had heard her crying herself to sleep at night. Letty also wouldn't like to know that Mia knew that she slept with one of Dom's dirty beaters, probably finding comfort in his scent. Dom had been kind of a slob so when Letty moved in she had cleaned up his room, done all his laundry, put it away and made herself at home. Waiting for him. At first things looked really bad. The cops were all over everything. Letty had headed straight for Mia after leaving the hospital not knowing that Bryan was there at the house too. The cops had arrived soon after. The shit hit the fan when one cop got a little too rough trying to cuff Letty. After all she had a dislocated shoulder! Mia had screamed at the pig that Letty was pregnant and if he hurt her, She, Mia would kill him. She had never threatened anyone in her life but she had damn well meant it. When Bryan had heard her scream, he had sprung into action and dragged the guy off Letty. He ended up getting busted himself. Mia knew then that she loved him. The lawyers had shown up the next day after Letty's pictures were all over the news. Things gradually began to settle down. Bryan turned in his badge and gun and became a Private Investigator. He moved in soon after and they got married at the courthouse with Letty as their only witness. Poor Letty had been sick as a dog and still waiting for Dom. Mia knew Letty had been too scared to call him. She was still afraid the deal would fall through and she knew as well as everyone that Dom wouldn't go back to prison. Letty couldn't risk Dom's freedom. It meant too much to him. So with nothing else to do, she had waited 6 whole, long, life-altering months. 15. Mia led Letty into the large room at the end of the hall. Dom's room. Upon entering they found Letty's bags at the foot of the huge bed. They also found the room to be completely not the pigsty they had expected. The room was warm and inviting. Tidy! The candles that Letty liked were scattered over every level surface in the room. Dom had gone that extra mile to make her feel at home. Mia was right, after Letty calmed down she was pissed. Royally Pissed! Mia watched as Letty emptied her clothes out of her bags and put then in the drawers Dom had cleared out for her. She practically threw the clothing. "He'd better get his ass in gear and get ready to testify! Stupid jerk! Everything is being handed to him on a silver platter and I swear, Mia, if he can�t, if he wont do it. I'm NOT staying HERE! Letty's voice broke. She was on the verge of tears again. Damn fuckin hormones!! Letty took a deep breath. Three more weeks and the baby would be here. Just three more weeks. Maybe less. Her back hurt and she was bone tired. "Mia, thanks for being here for me. I don't know what I'd do with you." Letty hugged Mia and yawned. "Girl, you and the peanut need to get some sleep. You know its not good to get all worked up. Everything is gonna be OK." Mia turned to leave. Before she reached the door she heard Letty... "Tell Dom he's been couched." Letty's voice was quiet. Mia knew she didn't want to be without Dom. But she also understood that Letty was fighting for her family and that family included Dom. "You making him work for it?" Mia cocked her eye at Letty. It was an old joke and both women giggled. "Goodnight, Letty." Mia closed the door. And bumped into the wall of her brother's chest. "Where you think your going?" She asked in her best smart-ass tone. From the look on her face, Dom could tell there would be no getting near Letty tonight. Yup, the look on Mia�s face said it all. He�d be sleeping on the couch. 16. The rest of them turned in about 1 am. They had sat around talking and doing little nit picky things to bug the shit out of each other. It took Dom's mind of Letty for a little while. They had all ended up in a dog pile in the floor in front of the fireplace. Tables were knocked over, cushions pulled off the couch, and a lamp got broken but they laughed till their sides ached and tears streamed down their faces. It was just like old times only instead of ending the night rolling around naked and sweaty with Letty; Dom was alone on the couch. It was a long night. Sleep refused to come for Dom. He couldn't get comfortable on the couch. His feet hung well over the far arm and the cushions were nowhere near as soft as the pillows on or the woman in his bed. From the living room Dom could hear V. and Leon snoring like chainsaws. They took turns, first one and then the other. How could they sleep through that racket? Twice he heard Bryan and Mia getting it on. It had pissed him off! Damn it, you don't come into a man's house and fuck his sister!! Unless that man's sister happens to be your wife which Dom finally remembered right before he was about to get off the couch to go pound Bryan. He didn't think Mia would appreciate it if Bryan got another black eye courtesy of his fists. He lay there in his jeans. The leather couch was sticking to his bare back. Thank God for central heat and air! At least he was cool. He retraced the events of the past day. Mia showing up with Bryan in tow had been a shock but seeing Letty knocked-up-out-to-there pregnant had been...well, amazing. He had never imagined his tough little Letty pregnant. She knew engines and body work not babies. Hell, he didn't thing she had ever even owned a doll! It had always been cars for Letty. Cars and him. Only him... 17. He was sure of that. He had been her first and damn it he would be her ONLY! He ran a hand over his stubbled head as he remembered that first time. He had snuck her up to his room so Mia wouldn�t see. It had started out as just a make out session, which always left him wanting more. He didn�t mean to get carried away. When Letty didn�t stop him he couldn�t stop himself. She was an incredible kisser and kept nipping at his bottom lip. It drove him nuts! She didn�t protest when his hands slid under her shirt or when he pulled it off of her. They�d only ever gone that far before. He�d really meant to stop before anything else happened. He really had. He was a man of restraint or at least he had been until he pulled away from Letty and she made a sound that he could only describe as a disappointed growl. After that, all good intentions flew out the window along with her bra and several other items of clothing that they had ripped off each other in their haste to get naked. He had meant to go slow. He had tried not to hurt her but Letty was tighter than the Hoover Damn and he wasn�t a small man in the family jewels department. He knew he had to be hurting her at least a little. When he was completely inside her, he had looked into Letty�s face. She had her eyes screwed shut. Then, when he started to move in and out of her, she transformed in a wildcat right before his eyes. Her eyes locked onto his. Her nails dug deeply into his shoulders, back and ass. She ground her hips against his and matched him thrust for thrust. Geezus, Letty was made for sex! She was a natural and she came hard that first time. Dom had to put his hand over her mouth to keep her quiet while she screamed his name. All he needed was Mia banging on his bedroom door while he was banging Letty! She went still and her mouth latched onto his. Dom was still moving over her when she raised her legs up around his waist and pushed up off the bed one last time thrusting her tongue into his mouth simultaneously. He�d gone off like a rocket and collapsed on top of her. When he finally rolled off, Letty curled into a little ball beside him and went to sleep with a satisfied cat-like grin on her face. He congratulated himself on a job well done and went to sleep himself. He woke up the next morning wrapped around Letty�s little finger and her lush body. Letty snuggled against him and he figured why not put his morning wood to good use. He had just started to wake her up when the phone rang. It was followed by a knock on his door. Mia! Shit! �Letty, I know you�re in there! Your dad called but don't worry, I covered for you. And Letty, I hope you made him work for it!� Dom could hear Mia laughing as she walked down the hall. So that had been that. The team got used to them slipping off for quickies and every guy in town knew that Letty was strictly off limits. Property of Dominic Toretto. Nobody messed with that! And while Dom looked, he never touched (well except that time with Tran�s sister) and Letty took pleasure in chasing away any skank that might have been flashing Dom her�smile. Dom almost laughed out loud thinking about Letty�s possessiveness. Then he heard it. A soft, muffled sound. Erratic gasping coming from�his room. Letty was crying in her sleep. Dom had finally fallen asleep. Letty tiptoed into the living room. She took a blanket out of the closet and covered him with it. Dom snuggled into it immediately as it had gotten cool in the room. Letty went and got back into Dom�s bed alone. Dom lay asleep on the couch wrapped up in the plush blanket dreaming of Letty. 18. They were on the beach by 10 am. Vince and Leon hooked up with a couple of hot, Swedish tourists and promised to write. Dom figured they would show up again in a day or so. Bryan and Mia had quickly stripped down to their suits and headed into the bright blue water. He and Letty were left on the beach. Alone. Together. He spread out their towels and plopped down. Letty wasn�t speaking to him. In fact she was ignoring him completely. She pulled off her oversized t-shirt. Leave it to Letty to where a bikini. This was obviously a woman who was proud of her pregnant body. Letty laid next to Dom letting the morning sun warm her. The baby was always active in the morning and Letty ran her hands over her belly poking back when the baby kicked. It was their own private little game of tag. She hoped Dom realized what he would be missing out on if he didn�t testify. The baby kicked again and she poked the little thing back. She didn�t know if the baby was a boy or a girl but she had a name picked out. A good name. Dom watched Letty out of the corner of his eye. Damn! She looked goooood. It wasn�t wrong to have sexual thoughts about the mother of your child was it? Were all pregnant women this sexy or was it just Letty? Dom itched to touch her. He knew she put the blanket over him last night. She always did that. Even when she was pissed off to the extreme at him, she still fretted over him. Letty was going to be a wonderful mother. �Letty?� �Mmmm�?� �What happens if you go into labor down here?� The thought scared the hell out of him. �I�m rich, Dom. My private OB-GYN is flying in today. She�s booked into the La Playa Resort. She�s getting a free vacation and will be around and on call 24-7 just in case.� �Smart idea.� �Tell Bryan. It was his.� �Really? He and Mia are doing good?� �Yes, they are doing very well. They�re very happy.� �What about you, Letty?� �What about me, Dom?� �How are you?� �Geez, let�s see Dom, I�m 23 unmarried, knocked up and unemployed for the most part. Luckily I�m sitting on a shitload of money so I don't really have to worry about it. I am scared shitless about having this baby and about whether or not I�m gonna be raising it alone, so to answer your question, Dominic. No I am not good and I haven�t been happy since you left.� Letty let it all come out. �I�m sorry Letty.� �You should be Dom� �I love you.� �Yeah, yeah�� �Letty, I�ll do it. Anything you want. I�ll do it.� She wasn�t sure if she believed him. �I wanna go home, Dom and I want you to come with me. I want to show you the nursery that Mia and I fixed up and more than anything I wanna wake up with you in that stupid double bed. That�s what I want. That�s all.� Letty never looked at him while she spoke. Dom took it all in. After a few minutes of uncomfortable silence, he replied, �When do you want to leave?� From the water where they played, Bryan and Mia watched Dom and Letty. One minute they were side by side lying in the sun perfectly still. The next they lay face to face making out like a couple of horny teenager. Mia silently thanked God for answering her prayers. 19. Letty, Dom, Vince and Leon left Mexico two days later. Bryan and Mia stayed on at the hacienda for another week honeymooning before returning home. When they arrived they found the rest of the team in the garage. They were back in business. Dom and Letty got married the day Dom had to testify. They said their I Do�s before the Justice of the Peace. Dom slipped his grandmother�s ring onto her finger, kissed her square on the mouth and left her with Bryan and Mia. He rushed to the courtroom where he was expected. The sooner he got it over with, the sooner he could get back to his wife. His heart skipped a beat. God, he loved that word�wife. Dom was finishing his testimony when Bryan slipped into the courtroom. He sat behind the prosecutor and passed the man a folded piece of paper. �No further questions, Mr. Toretto. Thank you.� �Your honor, I move that the witness be released immediately due to a family medical emergency.� Dom�s head whipped up. He looked from Bryan to the judge. �What family medical emergency?� The judge asked. �Your honor, Mr. Toretto�s wife has gone into labor.� Dom didn�t wait to be dismissed. He flew off the witness stand in a blur. Epilogue Dom and Bryan made it to the hospital in record time, running every red light and stop sign and breaking every speed law known to man. Dom and Letty�s son was born exactly one hour after his father left the witness stand. Dom entered the maternity ward lounge where the team sat waiting anxiously. All eyes were on him. �7 lbs. 4 oz.! It�s a BOY!!� Dom sat down next to Leon after quickly embracing his sister. He was shaking like a leaf. He had never in his life experienced anything that compared to watching Letty give birth to his child. �Letty and the baby are both fine. She called me every name in the book and made up a few of her own. She threatened to rip my dick off if I ever touch her again but she�s fine!� Dom passed out cigars and laughed as Leon and Vince joked about being �uncles�. He couldn�t wait to get back to Letty and the baby and started to leave the lounge. �Wait Dom! What�s his name?� Mia stopped him before he got out of range. Dom turned around and flashed them all a big �Proud Papi� smile. �Jesse. His Name is Jesse.� End |
