This starts at the beach scene in FF7, and goes from there. I'll try to stick to the plot, but it might be AU if necessary to mold the story the way I want it to end up. This is a Dom/Letty fic so it will center in their relationship, but I will be putting as much of each family member in this story.

I know what I want to do with this story, how it goes, and how it ends. But like in any writing, it still might change during the process of putting it into the paper (or the word for that matter), so opinions, commentaries, and suggestions will be entertained.

So on with the story!xxoo

Chapter 1

Peace.

That is exactly how it felt sitting together on the shore while watching Brian and Mia play with Jack on the beach. They deserve it after what happened, after everything that their family went through. However, looking back, the price for this peace had been much too high. They have lost a lot on the way.

Jesse. Sweet, stuttering, genius Jesse. Shot dead by Tran in front of the house. There was Leon too. After getting Letty across the border and in safety, he opted to cope up with the lost and the situation on his own. Never heard from anymore. Of course there was Vince, old coyote. Died protecting their family, loyal until the very end. And then Giselle and Han. Both were bump into on the road, ended up sticking up with the family—part of the family—and will always be.

Now what's left of them are here. Each one feeling a different sense of peace and belongingness. Each one occupied with their own thoughts. Finally, this felt right. They just hope it last longer than the last time.

Letty's eyes were focus on Brian, Mia, and Jack, but her mind is elsewhere, somewhere faraway. So far it goes years back. She can feel Dom looking at her but she can't bring herself to look back at him. Later.

She is aware of course, that they still have not properly talked. After they took down Decard and Baijan, Dom was hospitalized, and all of them with the exception of Mia were injured one way or another. Shortly after everyone's recovery, they decided to have this trip. They needed this peace right now; they can talk about what happened in the past later.

Dom goes between watching Letty and then Mia and her family. He is happy for his sister and Brian. He smirked, The buster ended up not being a buster after all. He knows that the last one will be the LAST for Brian, and though he felt sad about it, he understand. They were having their second child and Brian wanted to be there for Mia, Jack, and the upcoming addition. Brian wanted to do right by Mia.

Dom gets it more than anything. Hell, now that he has Letty back with him completely, thoughts of heisting trucks, bringing down drug cartels, or messing with terrorists were vanished as soon as they come up. Unless this family was hurt or threatened, he will be happily spending his time making up everything to his wife.

He glanced at Letty to his left. She is intently watching Brian, Mia, and Jack, but he can feel that there is something more in her mind. Her eyes are not focus, she is not there. He wanted to get her attention, but thought better of it and just decided to let her be. They will have to talk about him leaving her on the DR. He knows it is still painful to her.

He then heard Tej and Ramsey bantering with Roman about what is the best way to pick up girls. He just smiled at their antics. Trust Roman to argue with a girl about girls. He looked back down at Letty, still preoccupied. Looking closely however, he was able to sense that she is somehow tense.

That hurt a bit, but he try to understand. Letty may have her memories back, but a lot has already happened after all. Maybe it is just him. Maybe he is just not used to Letty being tense with him. It has always been comfortable when it comes to their relationship and their interaction.

Dom sighed. He needed some air. He stood up and went to his car to go for a drive.

"Yo Letty! Mr. Alpha going somewhere?" Roman asked Letty when he noticed Dom's car driving away.

"He just went for a drive, Rome." Letty answered. She felt the shift in Dom's aura before he decided to go for a drive. She knew he needed to calm himself. "The guy needs some air."

Roman looked at Tej and Ramsey and whispered confusedly, "Air? What air she talkin' 'bout?" and then he gestured his hand , "There's a lot in here." Ramsey laughed at that, and Tej playfully punch him.

Letty ignored them and smile at the approaching Mia, Brian, and a running Jack. "Tire yourself there, kiddo?" she said while ruffling his hair. Jack nodded at her, "I'm hungry aunt Let." Letty laugh as Jack sat beside her and laid his head on her lap while waiting for his mummy to prepare his food. "Of course you are!"

"He missed his favorite aunt." Mia told Letty while handing Jack a sandwich. "He kept asking where's his aunt Let is and when is she visiting him, since you went away." Letty smiled at Mia, "I missed him too. He's the reason I came back, you know."

"Hey!" Mia smacked her arms.

"Gods, Mi. You can't take a joke." She said laughing while rubbing her arms. "Of course I missed you too and the buster." Mia shrug at her first comment. "I'm so glad your memories are back Let. I love you regardless, but I really missed my best friend.

Mia frowned suddenly then slapped Letty's arms again. "I still can't believe you and Dom got married and you didn't tell me!" Mia kept hitting her arms while continuing with her rant, "You were with me, I'm your best friend, and you didn't tell me about it? Leticia!"

"I can't believe you've gone so violent." Letty said absentmindedly. Mia just cocked her brow at her. Letty sighed, "That was not planned Mi. I already told you, I was supposed to tell you once Dom was back."

"Fine. I'm letting it go…for now." Mia huffed. "Really, Mi…"

Brian was suddenly in front of the two. He handed a tumbler of iced tea to Jack who is still comfortably leaning into Letty while munching on his sandwich. "Where'd Dom go, Let?"

"Went for a drive. I think."

"You think?" Mia asked. Letty rolled her eyes. "Right. I'm sure he went for a drive. I felt that he might need some air."

Brian look at Letty. "Yeah?" He said teasingly. He knows those two don't need a lot of words between them. They know each other very well that body language is enough to get the message through.

Letty just shrugged at him and then smirked. "Yeah Brian. He's probably moping around, heartbroken, because he'll miss you."

Brian laughed at that, "If I didn't know any better Let, I'd say you're jealous."

"Now, guys, what is this?" Tej asked hearing them laugh and catching the last part of their conversation, "Who's jealous of whom?"

"Letty!" Brian pointed at Letty, who was now nodding at something that Jack is saying, "She's jealous of Dom and me." Letty just rolled her eyes at Brian and then focused back on Jack.

"Nah, Brian. I know you're beautiful, man, but Dom's whipped." Roman piped up. Brian give Roman the finger and then turn to Letty and teased, "For what it's worth Let, there's nothing to be jealous about."

"Oh, good O'Conner." Letty drawled and then smirked, "I can't say the same for you with me and your wife though." Mia looked at Letty and then snickered, "Love you Let!" "Love you too, gurl."

Brian eyed the two suspiciously. Ramsey laughed at his expression and having been informed a bit of the family's history, decided to add to the teasing. "Say Mia, you and Let did lived alone in LA before Braga right?" Mia nodded, Ramsey cocked her head, "If Letty didn't disappear, would you have married Brian?"

Mia put on her scandalous face, "Of course not!" Mia answered at once, "I definitely would have stayed with Let."

Everyone laughed except Brian. Letty and Ramsey high fived. Roman keep saying "Oh no! Oh no!," and Tej was holding his fist in his chest, "Ouch man. That must hurt."

Brian just shook his head and smiled. As dysfunctional as they may seem, this is his family. The first one he's ever known. "Whatever, man. I'll go find Dom." He walked to his car and drove off.

Not fast enough though, he still heard Letty shouting, "Dom's nape is a weak spot. It turns him on Brian!" Everyone laughing at that, and Mia whining, "Letty! I do not need to know that!"

Yep. That's definitely their family, alright.

A/N: So there's the first chapter. I tried to show the interaction between everyone, just to set a ground for the coming chapters. I want to show how close they all are. Do comment however if you think they are OC. I'll try to stick with the characters' personalities as much as I could. XD
