Chapter 1
Ally watched as her husband and son rolled around on the front lawn. She smiled as a warm feeling filled her heart. Her eyes sparkled when she looked at her husband and then to her son. Everything was perfect in her life. She'd been married to the man she loved for 7 yrs and they a beautiful son to show for it. Vincent was just like his father. He'd taken to wearing jeans and tank tops. The little boy also LOVED cars. It was he could take about.
She looked over at the house next to hers and shook her head. Ally would have never imagined that living next door to the Toretto house would be this nice. Since meeting Mia and her family, she'd become one of them. They'd taken her in and shown her how wonderful families could be. She wished her parents could see how happy she was and the loving family she was in.
"Mamma" caused Ally to look up.
A smile graced her face and Vincent ran up to her. She reached out and took him in her arms.
"Hey buddy"
Vincent held on to his mother's neck while laughing.
"Daddy says you have to come and wrestle with us"
"Oh he does" she said while letting go of her son. Vincent grabbed hold of her hand and pulled as hard as he could to get her off the steps.
"OK"
Vince stood up and put his hands on his hips. After all these years Ally still took his breath away. He couldn't understand why she chose him. His saw the love in her eyes and she walked up to him.
"Daddy" she said with a smile.
"Mamma" he said before winking at her.
"Come on" Vincent huffed.

The three of played in the front yard for another hour before being interrupted by Dom. All three of them turned and saw him staring down at them.
"Are you three coming to eat?"
They began laughing then got up. Vincent ran in the house so he could clean. Dom grinned while thinking, The word eat is mentioned and the boy is off just like his dad.
"Hurry up" Dom said before walking back to his house.
"Baby go ahead I'll bring Vincent over" Ally said before kissing her husband on the cheek.
"OK hurry up" he said before patting his wife on the butt.
Ally shook her head at him then turned and walked up the porch and into her house.
~~~~~
"Come on baby" Ally said while whipping her hands clean. "They're going to eat all the food buddy"
Vincent came running down the hall and into the kitchen. "NO."
Ally took hold of her son's hand and headed for the front door. They were almost to Dom's house when Ally stopped and said, "Did I lock the door?"
"Don't know," Vincent said while looking up at his Mom.
"Let's go check" Ally said as she picked up Vincent and threw him over her shoulder. He began laughing when she started poking him.
The sound of a car turning the corner cause Vincent to jerk out of his mom's hold. She let him down then asked, "What?"
Vincent ran to the sidewalk while pointing at the car that was speeding towards the house. Ally ran up to him and knelt down by him.
"OK what kind of car is that?" she asked.
She looked at her son, whose eyes were wide from looking at the car. Something shinny cause her to look forward. Her eyes grew wider when she realized it was a gun.
"NO" she yelled while pulling Vincent in her arms. She went to turn but wasn't fast enough. A bullet hit her skin causing her to fall back. The air was sucked out of her body. Everything went silence, she was going in slow motion. She turned her head and say Vincent laying practically on her. He looked so peaceful like he was sleeping but she knew he wasn't. She tried to scream but couldn't. Her eyes closed then reopened when she felt the pain running threw out her body. Vince...!
~~~~~~
The sound of gun shots caused Leon, Letty, Dom and Vince to run outside.
"OH MY GOD!!" Letty yelled when she saw Ally and Vincent lying in the yard next door.
Vince took off and fell hard against the ground. He franticly crawled over to his wife and son who were bleeding.
"OF FUCK..JESUS..ALLY..VINCENT.. DOMINIC" he yelled while not knowing what to do. His eyes filling with tears.
Dom yelled for Leon to call an ambulance before rushing over and falling to his knees next to Vincent. Tears swelled up in his eyes, he knew they were dead without touching them. Letty stood behind him and covered her mouth with her hand. She slowly knelt down and put a hand on Dom's back.
Dom took in a deep breath and felt Vincent. He then felt Ally and started shaking his head. Megan who had been in the bathroom ran out of the house when she say Leon's face. She rushed over and fell down next to Letty. When she went to reach out for Vincent, Dom stopped her.
"NO!!NO" she yelled while tears began falling down her face. Letty pulled her up against her and held her tight.
Vince looked at Dom then began punching the ground. "FUCK, FUCK, FUCK" he yelled before pulled Ally up against him. He rocked back and forth. He was in daze and then everything went silent. He couldn't hear Megan and Letty crying. All he could do was hold his wife in his arms and stare at his son.
Dom closed his eyes then took hold of Vincent. He felt tears running down his face. He pulled Vincent over to Vince. Vince took hold of his son and snapped out of his dazed condition. He began yelling as loud as he could.
Leon ran out of the house again and made his way over to them. He stopped when he saw Vincent's lifeless body. He turned and say Megan crying. He felt like he was going to faint her stepped closer then came to his knees.
"Buddy" escaped his lips while Dom moved close to him. His eyes filled with tears and he looked over at Dom.
~~~~~~
By the time EMS arrived nothing was to be done. Vince was so enraged that Dom and two other cops had to hold him back. When Mia and Brian arrived, Mia ran up to Dom. Brian slowly followed and watched as his wife collapsed against her brother. He ran up and asked.
"Dom?"
Dom lifted his head and didn't say anything. Brian looked over at Megan, Leon, and Letty and knew what had happened. He felt sick all the sudden. Fuck! He walked over and saw Vince sitting on the ground. He knelt down next to him and put a hand on his shoulder. Vince turned his head and saw tears running down the side of Brian's face. All the years of hating the man sitting next to him and now Brian was like a brother. He raised his right hand and laid it on Brian's cheek.
Brian didn't know what Vince was going to do. At this point he didn't care. Go ahead and hit me if you want. Vince let out a sigh then announced in a menacing voice.
"Find out who did this!"
~~~~~~
FOUR YEARS LATER:
Dom stared at the house next door. He'd spent every Sunday sitting on his front porch staring and remembering what life was like before... The sound of the screen door opened and he heard his wife's voice.
"Baby you want some dinner now?"
Dom turned and smiled up at Letty who was now very much pregnant. He put his hand out for her take hold of it. She smiled at him and took his offer. When she was seated next to him, both sat back and looked up at the sky.
"Why don't you call him again" Letty said after a few minutes of silence.
"He won't talk to me"
"Go and tell him its time for him to come home"
Dom turned and looked at Letty. "I can't force him to do anything"
Letty shook her head then said, "Dominic. He needs to come home. It's been long enough and I want our child to know our family"
When Dom saw tears stringing down her cheeks, he reached out and wiped them away.
"He's not the only one that needs to come home"
"Leon" she hissed. "That stupid asshole. I'll go and get him"
Now that was the old Letty. He grinned then kissed her on the cheek.
"You are right baby. It's time"
~~~~~~
Leon sat in his office tapping his pen against his desk. The sound of knocking on his door cause him to look up.
"Yes"
"Sir, there's a women here to see you"
He stood up and brush himself off before saying, "Go on let her in"
The door opened and a very pregnant women followed his assistant. He smiled then extended his hand. He been in this business so long he'd gotten to the point of looking straight through people.
"Oh Hell no" the women said before putting her hands on her hips and cocking her head to the side.
"Letty" he yelled.
"Who else freak" she yelled back.
"Oh my God" he said while coming around his desk and hugging her.
"Whoa" she said, "Not to tight."
Leon let her go then took a step back from her. His eyes again focused on her being pregnant. "Damn"
"What brings you to Florida?" he asked her.
"Let's cut the shit Leon, I want you to come home"
Leon sat down in one of the chairs in front of his desk then said, "This is my home"
Letty followed suit then said, " No this isn't your home. You need to come back to LA"
"I can't" escaped his lips making him sound like a little boy.
"Leon, Dom and I want you be there when the baby comes"
He could look at Letty, he didn't want to face her. He didn't want to face the fact that he'd never dealt with what had happened all those years ago.
Letty leaned forward and took hold of his face. "Leon, please do this for me"
"I really can't" he told her before standing up.
She watched as he strolled around his desk and took his seat. Letty let out a laugh then stood up. She smiled at him then said, "The past won't stop haunting you until you've dealt with it."
Leon watched her turn and walked out his office. He slammed his fist down on the desk. The memories rushing to his mind. Megan, Vincent..Ally..I can't do it. I'm sorry!
~~~~~
Megan Thomas was hard at work, finishing up her news letter when the phone rang. She leaned over without taking her eyes off her computer screen.
"Hello"
"Megan"
Megan sat up, she knew it was Dominic Toretto on the phone.
"Megan" he said again.
"Dom"
"Yeah. How are you?"
"I'm pretty good and you? How's Letty?" she asked.
"She's fine. Look the reason I called is I wanted to come down and stay with us for a while."
Megan's smiled vanished. "Dom, I'm so busy with the work. I really can't."
She heard Dom sigh then he said, "Please. It's just that Letty is pregnant and she'd due any day now and we want everyone to share this with us."
After minutes of silence, Megan agreed. The past years had been hard for her, hell hard for all of them. She moved an hour away from LA and settled into a new life. Her thoughts then went to Leon. They hadn't spoken in three years. After Ally and Vincent's deaths, they moved into an apartment together and tried to make a life for themselves. They soon found that a dark cloud lingered over them. It all came to a head one day and when he left for work, she packed her stuff and left. Not that she didn't love Leon, she did. She could live with the pain anymore and Leon had pushed his pain away. He acted like nothing had ever happened. So now it seemed to be time for her to go back to that place. The place that still held so much pain for her.
~~~~~
Mia sat across from Brian shaking her head.
"Baby what's the matter?"
"I can't believe Dom let Letty fly to Florida, she's so close to her due date"
Brian reached over the table and took hold of his wife's hand. "She said she wanted to speak to Leon face to face not over the phone."
Mia smiled at him. "I just."
"I know baby" Brian told her.
