One

Letty had been surprised when she had learned that Brian O'Connor refused to testify against the team and had then lost his job. She learned a lot about him in the past few months that she probably knew him very well. He had ran to Miami where he became famous on the streets until the DEA caught up to him and offered him a deal of immunity if he helped take down Carter Verone. Only instead of taking the deal for himself he had tried to take the deal for the team which hadn't worked out for him so now he was a free man. Letty had wanted to hate the blonde for falling for Dom but she couldn't because Dom fell as well only both had refused to acknowledge it even though they were both pretty miserable. Now here she was in a sticky situation knowing that she wouldn't make it out and Brian O'Connor was her only hope so that is how she found herself pounding on his door in the middle of the night.

"What the hell?" Brian yelled only to freeze when he saw her standing there her arms full.

"I need your help," she told him pushing her way past him inside.

"Letty," he started only to pause once again when he saw the bundle in her arms move to reveal a baby.

"She needs your help," the woman told him a strange look in her eyes that he couldn't identify.

"Letty what's going on?" Brian asked shaking his head confused as he locked the door.

"Almost a year ago Dom left me because he thought it would be better not knowing what he was leaving behind," Letty said shaking the bundle in her arms.

"I'm sorry," he told her and she could see that his was sorry.

"I know but I was expecting it. I mean Dom was never faithful to me and I use to think that it was because he just couldn't be but then things changed after you came. I could see the truth that we were just too much alike and that he had feelings for you. I knew though when he ran that he would never say anything because he didn't want to hurt me. I went to the FBI Brian to get him home but I have this feeling that it won't turn out like I want it too and this little girl deserves better. Will you help me?" Letty asked finishing her story looking sad and like she was barely holding back tears which surprised him.

"I don't know what I can do Letty," Brian admitted not bothering to deny the fact about the feelings he had for Dom which she was grateful for.

"I know that I won't make it out of this just like I know that you and Dom are meant to be. I need to do what is best for my daughter and that is you so will you take her. I have all the paperwork putting both your name and Dom's on the certificate of birth," Letty explained tears falling because she had to give up her little girl but knowing it was the right thing to do.

"Are you sure?" the blonde asked taking a step towards her.

"I have never been surer of anything in my life Brian," Letty told him determined handing the bundle over, "Take good care of her and make sure she knows that her Mommy loves her."

Brian was so shocked that he couldn't speak. He knew the truth of the woman's words because he had spent years trying to deal with the loss of a man who hadn't been his. The fact that Letty had stood there so strong said so much about her and he felt his heart break for her as he looked down at the bundle in his arms. He turned to see her open the door and knew that he had to speak before she left.

"What should I name her?" he asked wanting to do this last thing for her.

"Dom's mother was named Amelia I want her to have that name as her first name. After that I don't know," she said softly looking back at him.

"What's your middle name?" the blonde asked giving her a look.

"My middle name is Marie," she answered.

"I'll make sure that she knows her mother loved her so much that she made the ultimate sacrifice and gave her the best chance she could have," Brian swore to her.

Brian watched Letty go feeling his heart break and wishing he could help protect her but he had refused to join the FBI for a reason. He had instead moved back to Barstow wanting to find himself again or maybe he wanted to find Dom he just didn't know anymore. He looked down at the baby and sighed seeing the slightly tanned skin and dark hair. He knew that she would have dark eyes and held her close to him knowing that he had to get out of California because the further he was away from the FBI the better and he knew that in Miami he would have family to help him.

"Don't worry Amelia Marie O'Connor," the blonde whispered looking out far away, "I promise that you will be the most loved baby in the world."

Brian sat down on the chair and saw out of the corner of his eye that Letty had left a bag on the floor which was probably filled with diapers and formula. He would have to get some things tomorrow before he left for Miami and thanked his lucky stars that he had enough money saved up that he could get out of his lease. Brian knew that Echo Park was home but it wasn't safe there yet and until it was Miami would just have to do. He just wondered how true Letty's words about Dom were and how he would react to all of this.
