Summary: This takes place after FATF 1. Jesse is okay and just got out of the hospital. Vince is out of the hospital as well and has to go to physical therapy. Mia has not heard from Brian in four months. Dom and Letty are on the rocks. Johnny and Lance are both dead. Leon is fine but he just broke up with a girl.
"Hi, could I have one PB&J and one tuna sandwich, please." Kate asked as she sat down in Toretto's Café, putting her daughter in her lap.
"Sure." The girl behind the counter replied. The whole team was in the café eating lunch.
"Nice car." Leon told the girl, talking about her blue skyline.
"Thanks," She replied with a grin.
"You new around here?" Jesse asked her, noticing that her license plates were from another county.
"Yeah, I'm here looking for my ex- boyfriend. Do you know a lot of people around here?" Kate asked, hoping someone would know her ex.
"Yeah, we do. " Vince replied. Vince was looking at Kate's daughter. He thought to himself 'She looks just like Brian.'
"What's his name?" V asked, taking a bite of his sandwich.
"Brain O'Connor." Mia dropped the plate in her hands. While Vince spit out his sandwich and smiled. While Letty, Leon and Jesse just looked at each other in shock.
"So I take it you know him?" Kate responded.
"Yeah, we know him quite well." Letty replied.
Just then Dom came out of his office. "Who do we know?" Dom asked.
"The pig." Vince blurted out. Everyone gave him a dirty look, whereas Kate looked confused.
"I'm Dom, this is my sister Mia, my girlfriend Letty, and my friends Jesse, Vince and Leon." He said pointing to every person.
"I'm Kate and this is my daughter Madison." She said.
"Nice to meet you." Everyone said with a smile.
"So why are you looking for Brian?" Vince asked, giving a snicker.
"Well he left town about 7 months ago and told me that he was coming up to L.A. to do some work. He told me he would be home when he was done and he has never came back." Kate said, slightly embarrassed.
Mia handed Kate and Madison each a plate and they started eating.
"When was the last time you guys have seen Brian?" Kate asked in-between bites.
"About two months ago." Mia replied.
"Where are you staying?" Dom asked her.
"Well I have to go find a hotel." Kate replied.
"Why don't you and Madison stay with us? We have a big house and it would be nice to have some company around." Dom said, smiling. The rest of the team seemed excited to have some new people in the house.
"Are you sure?" Kate asked.
"It won't be a problem at all." Mia said, while making another sandwich for Letty.
"I'll take you over to our house." Vince said. Kate and Madison finished up eating their sandwiches and they followed Vince's car. When they got out Vince helped her take some suitcases out of her car. She carried in Madison and sat on the couch.
"Do you need any help unpacking?" Vince asked. Vince felt that he was falling for her.
"Yeah, that would be great." Kate grinned. "Let me go put Madison down for her nap first." She said, laying Madison down on the couch and covering her up with one of her baby blankets.
"How old is she?" Vince asked.
"She'll be 3 in a few weeks." Kate replied sighing. She has had a hard time raising a kid alone.
"And how old are you?" Vince said grinning.
"I'm 22. You?" Kate said moving closer to him.
"I'm 24." Vince replied. She was getting close and he started to sweat, so he changed the subject.
"Let me show you where your room is." He told her as he picked up her suitcases and headed downstairs. "Jesse, Leon and I live down here. There is one extra bedroom that you can stay in." He said.
"Great." She said. They got to her room and she started to unpack, while Vince sat on the bed and watched her. Kate turned around and smiled at him.
"What are you looking at?" She asked curiously.
Vince was still gazing at her in a dream state. She came up closer to him and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"Earth to Vince" Kate said loudly, waving her hand in front of his face.
Vince came out of his dreaming state.
"Ohh uhh …..What?" He said.
Kate just laughed at him and sat next to him on the bed.
"You okay?" She asked him.
"Yeah great." Vince replied moving closer to her face and kissing her on the lips. She deepened the kiss. A few seconds later she pulled back and smiled at him.
"You're a great kisser" Vince said to her.
"Your not so bad yourself" She replied.
Once Kate got unpacked, she went upstairs and checked on Madison. Madison was still sleeping so she brought her down stairs to her bedroom. When Kate was done situating herself, she knocked on Vince's door. "Come in" Vince said in a rough voice. Vince was laying down watching tv. He patted the bed motioning for her to come lay down next to him. She laid down next to him. She fell fast asleep next to Vince. Around 5 the team came home and found them laying next to each other. Madison woke up when she heard everyone down stairs. Letty decided to let Kate sleep, so she took Madison up stairs to color.
Kate woke up about a half hour later. She went upstairs and everyone was in the kitchen.
"Hi momma!" Madison said as Kate was entering the room.
Kate just smiled as everyone looked at her. She grabbed a seat at the kitchen table, across from Dom.
"So Kate," Dom started to say, "How long did you date Brian?"
"Well I've dated him for about 4years, but I have known him for 20 years."
"So you guys were still together when he left?" Mia asked, getting angry pretty fast.
"Yeah. Last thing he said to me was see you in two months. He gave me a kiss and drove off." Kate said.
"We have something's that we need to tell you. Letty, why don't you go take Madison into the living room to color." Dom said in a very serious tone. Kate started to feel a little uncomfortable. Dom, Kate and Mia sat in the kitchen for 2 hours. Dom and Mia told her everything that went on. Kate and Mia both cried, whereas Dom just got mad mostly because Brian left his girlfriend and daughter and how he mislead Mia and the rest of the team. By the time their discussion was over it was time for them to get ready to go street racing.
"You coming racing tonight?" Mia asked.
"I have to find a babysitter." Kate said
"My mom will do it." Letty said as she walked into the room carrying Madison along with a coloring book and crayons.
"That would be awesome; it would great to have a break for once." Kate said relieved she didn't have to spend another night with a 3 year old.
"You'll ride with me." Vince said coming into the room, and giving her a kiss on her forehead. Everyone else in the room gave the two a weird look. Kate blushed while Vince smiled.
Kate went downstairs to get ready. It only took her about 15 minutes. All the guys were in the living room playing video games. The girls were up stairs still getting ready. Kate came up from the basement wearing a pink and black plaid mini skirt with combat boots and a short little tank top that said 'Ride' on the front of it. When she entered the living room they all took their eyes off the video game and stared at her.
"Is this okay?" Kate asked a little nervous
"That is wonderful babe." Vince replied giving her a kiss.
"You ready? We are going to go drop off Madison at Letty's moms' house then meet the team at the garage." Vince said standing up.
"Sure," Kate said as she grabbed Madison's bag of toys and clothes.
Vince picked up Madison and carried her to the car.
They dropped her off then headed to the garage. On the way to the garage Kate's cell phone rang.
"Hello?" She said into the phone, not recognizing the number on the screen.
"It's me, I'm so sorry that I haven't talked to you in 7months. I'm on my way back home." Brian said into the phone
