So this idea came to me the other day when I was thinking about what kind of Fast and Furious story I want to write. I wanted to do something different from the regular base stories of the movies. Everyone always uses the story from the moive but twist it up. I wanted to do something completely different. So with that being said, I really hope you enjoy this first chapter.
Getting Through It
Leticia Toretto woke up with the beautiful LA sun shining on her face through the drapes. She looked over at the digital clock on the night stand and saw it read 8:37 a.m. Letty was lying there when she felt a little foot fall across her waist. She smiled immediately knowing which child of hers was in the bed. She turned over to see her handsome husband Dominic Toretto snuggled up with her beautiful 1 and a half year old daughter, Clio Angelica Toretto. Letty chuckled at the way Clio had her hand on her father's face and her foot over Letty while peacefully sleeping on her back with her long dark brown locks falling in her face. There was a loud thud from down the hall then the sound of small feet running down the hallway signaling that her 3-year old son, Audi Jensen Toretto was awake. Letty got up, walked to the bedroom door and opened it just as Audi collided with her legs. "Audi baby. Slow down."
The boy giggled and looked up at his mother, raising his arms to be picked up. "Sawwy mommy."
Letty picked him up and balanced him on her right hip while closing the door with her left hand. "Do you know if your brother is awake?" Audi shook his head no. Letty walked down the hall to her 5-year old son's room. She opened his door to see Diesel Brian Toretto lying in his custom Dodge Charger bed with his stuffed dinosaur under his arm. She closed the door and headed downstairs into the kitchen with Audi in her arms. She sat him down on the counter next to the sink and started getting ingredients from the refrigerator. "Do you want to help mommy cook breakfast?"
Audi smiled and nodded his head. "We have a BBQ today, wight mommy?"
"Right baby." Letty walked back from the refrigerator and sat the ingredients on the island in the middle of the kitchen.
"Evewone coming here?"
Letty walked over to Audi putting soap in his hands and pointing to the sink. "Yes they are. That's why we have to make sure everything is straightened up around the house." Audi nodded while he washed his hands. Letty gave him a paper towel to dry his hands and then sat the carton of eggs next to him. "I want you to count me out 5 eggs in Spanish, okay?"
Audi nodded and began to count. "Uno...Dos... Tres... Cu-cua.. Mommy how do you say 4 in Spanish again?"
"Cuatro."
Audi nodded and went back to counting the eggs. "Cuatro... Cinco! I did it mommy!"
"Muy bien mijo!" Letty smiled and kissed his cheek. Letty and Dom thought it would be beneficial, for their kids, to be taught mainly Spanish but also a little bit of Italian. Being bilingual will help their kids get the best jobs in life when they get older. "Now I want you to fill this cup up," Letty pointed to the measuring cup on her hand. "with this soft stuff, 4 times, while you count in Spanish," She pointed to the pancake mix box. "and then put it into this big bowl. Got it mijo?"
"Got it mommy." Audi began to fill the cup up with pancake mix and put it into the bowl while he counted to 4 in Spanish. Letty began to get the bacon and sausage out of the refrigerator when Diesel walked into the kitchen. "Disea! Disea up mommy!"
Letty turned from the refrigerator and smiled when she saw her oldest baby walk over to her rubbing his eyes. "Well good morning baby." She picked him up and he laid his head on her shoulder. "Did you sleep good?" He just nodded his head. "Do you want to help me and Audi cook?" He shook his head no. Letty rubbed his back. "Are you okay baby?"
"Sí. I'm just in my waking up mode mommy." Letty chuckled.
"So is this one." Dom walked into the kitchen with Clio in his arms.
Audi looked up at the sound of his father. "Papi! Papi look! I was helping mommy!"
Dom walked over to Audi and kissed him on the head. "Good job buddy!" He then walked over to Letty and kissed Diesel on his head. "Good morning Diesel." He turned to Letty and kiss her on her lips several times.
Diesel lifted his head up from his mother's shoulder and put his hand on Dom's mouth stopping him from kissing Letty again. "Stop Papi. That's yucky!"
Letty chuckled as she sat Diesel down on the ground and he ran into the living room. Letty reached and took Clio from Dom kissing her all over her face. "Good morning mija."
Clio giggled and kissed Letty on her mouth. "Ma-in mami."
"Papi, can you help me? I wanna go with Diesa." Dom helped Audi off the counter and he ran into the living room where Diesel was.
Letty opened the refrigerator and gave Clio her juice. "I'm almost finished cooking breakfast baby. Then I have to go to Mia's to pick up the buns and drinks. Rome, Tej, Gisele, and Han should all be here around 1. Tony and Helena are coming around 12 to help watch the kids and set up. I got the guest bedrooms made up on the east side of the house."
Dom walked over to Letty and kissed her on the cheek. "I'll finish cooking here while you go get dressed and get the kids clothes out for today."
Letty smiled and turned to Dom. "Have I told you I love you?"
Dom chuckled. "Maybe once or twice."
"I guess I'll have to tell you more often." Letty winked and walked upstairs with Clio on her right hip.
Mia O'Connor sat at her vanity mirror in her master bedroom that she shared with her loving husband, Brian O'Connor. She was getting ready to attend a lunch meeting with Brain and some of his colleagues from the police department. Mia was putting the finally touches on her makeup when she heard the doorbell ring. "Mia could you get that?" Brian yelled from their walk-in closet.
"Yeah I got it." Mia walked down stairs and smiled when she saw Letty through the window in the door, standing there with Clio on her hip. She opened the door and let them in. "Hey Letty." She smiled and hugged her. "How is Tia's baby?" Mia cooed at Clio as she took the little girl from Letty's arm.
"Ti Ti!" Clio giggled and clapped her hands as Mia kissed her cheek.
Letty walked in and closed the door, following Mia to the kitchen. "How you living girl?"
Before Mia could answer, she was interrupted by her 4-year old son, Maverick Jack O'Connor, running down the stairs to Letty. "Tiiiaaa!"
Letty caught him as he jumped into her arms. "Mav! How's my favorite little nephew? Wow dude, have you grown?"
Maverick laughed. "I've grown this much Tia." He stretched both of his arms out wide demonstrating how much.
Letty smiled. "Wow that's really big buddy!"
Mia chuckled at her son. Maverick loved his Tia so much as if she were his own mother. "Go get your stuff Mav so you can go with Let."
"Okay mommy." Letty put him down and he ran upstairs to his room.
Letty walked to the counter and sat at one of the stools. "To think he just turned 4 the other week."
Mia threw her head back and groaned. "Ugh! Don't remind me. My babies growing up."
Letty chuckled. "Just enjoy the young age while it's still here." Letty turned as she heard another little voice yelling her name. "Here comes my little munchkin."
Letty turned around as she watch Brian and her little 2-year old niece, Isabella Leticia O'Connor, try to come down the steps as fast as her little legs could move, and run in Letty's direction. "TIA! TIA! TIA!"
Letty caught Isabella and twirled around. "Bella! Bella! Bella!"
The little girl erupted into fits of giggles as Letty kissed her all over her face. Letty stopped twirling them and Isabella pointed to her nose. That was always their thing. Bella would point to her nose and Letty would eskimo kiss her. That caused Isabella to giggle even more. "Let." Letty turned and saw Brian smiling with his arms stretched out for a hug.
She walked into his embrace and hugged him. "Hey Bri."
Brian walked over to Mia and took Clio from her arms. "How is my little ladybug?" Brian lifted her in the air and blew on her tummy causing Clio to scream in laugher. Brain laughed at his niece then turned to Mia. "You almost ready baby? We gotta get go so we won't be late."
"Yeah baby. Just let me get this stuff for Let so she can take it to her house for the barbecue." Mia walked around the kitchen getting foods and putting them into a bag for Letty.
Maverick came back downstairs with his bag on his back. "I'm ready Tia."
"Okay baby. Let's go get in the car."
Brian followed Letty to the door. "Let, do you need me to get the car seats?"
Letty opened the door and walked out. "No it's okay. I drove the Rover so all the seats are in there." She opened the car door and helped Maverick up into the car then buckled Isabella into her seat. Brian walked around and put Clio in her car seat.
Mia walked out and put the bag with the food in it in the front seat then walked around to the back. "Okay babies. Give mommy and daddy a kiss. We will see you guys at the barbecue." Mia and Brian kissed all 3 children good bye and closed the doors.
Letty got in the front seat and cranked up the car. "You two be safe and I'll see y'all in a little while. Te amo."
Mia and Brian said their goodbyes and I love you's to Letty when she pulled off. They walked to there white Range Rover and pulled off heading in the opposite direction as Letty.
Letty and Gisele were in the middle of setting the table and making sure all the food was on the table. "Hey Rome? Can you grab Isabella for me and get her in her chair?"
"No problem Let." Roman left Dom's side at the grill to go grab Isabella from the mini playground in the yard.
"What do you need me to do Letty?" Letty looked up to see Helena standing by a chair with a sweet smile on her face. She became Dom and Mia's stepmother about 8 years ago. Mia had encouraged that her father try to date again 2 years prior to Anthony marrying Helena. Helena fit in perfectly with the family. After awhile, Dom and Mia started calling her mom and she became a grandmother when the kids were born.
"I don't want you to do too much Helena. Just can you try to get your wild grandchildren to wash up before we eat. I sent Rome to get Isabella washed up." Helena nodded and went to get her grandkids.
Gisele huffed and hung up her phone. "Let, I've called Mia like 20 times now. I don't know what's taking them so long."
Dom walked in and sat the meat he just took off the grill on the table. "Still no word from Mia or Brian?"
Letty shook her head no. "It's not like them Dom. They would've called if they were going to be late."
Dom kissed Letty's forehead and rubbed her arms up and down. "Relax baby. I'm sure everything is fine." Letty sighed and laid her head against his chest. "I'm sure they will be here soon. They never miss a barbecue. Everyone is hungry so let's just start and they'll be here. Okay?" Letty shook her head yes even though she had a bad feeling.
25 minutes ago..
Brian and Mia had just left the restaurant. They were now on their way to Dom and Letty's house for the barbecue. Brian was driving with his left hand while holding Mia's hand with his right. "That was a really nice lunch Brian."
Brian smiled and kissed the back of Mia's hand. "I'm glad you enjoyed yourself. Maybe we can do it again sometime."
"Guess what your daughter said the other day?"
Brian put on his signal as he made a right turn. "What?"
Mia smiled and looked over at him. "She said she wanted a baby sister."
"Did she now?"
She chuckled. "Yeah she did. She claims she's old enough to take care of a baby now."
Brian pulled up to the white line at the red light then turned to Mia and laughed. "That girl is something else. Do you want another baby?"
Mia pondered the question for a minute. They were very well finically stable, Maverick was 4 and Isabella was 2 so it wouldn't be a bad idea to keep the two year difference between the kids. Mia smiled and looked at her husband of 5 years. "Yes. I would love to have another baby."
Brian cupped Mia's cheek and pulled her in for a kiss. That lasted all of two seconds when there was a loud car honk beeping at them. Brian laughed and looked through his rear view mirror at the person throwing their hands in the air. "Geez, I'm going." Mia threw her head back laughing as Brian pulled put his foot on the gas pedal to make his way through the light. He glanced over at his wife but it was to late to try and prevent them from being hit by the car speeding towards the passenger side of the car.
So what do you think? I hope you enjoyed it as much as i enjoyed writhing it. Please review :)
AN: All of the kids have either a car name or something related to cars except for Isabella. Diesal is a fuel type. Audi of course is the car brand Audi and Jensen from a Jensen Interceptor. Clio (pronouced Cleo) from a Renault Clio. Maverick from a Ford Maverick.
