Disclaimer: I own nothing associated with the Fast and the Furious franchise I am just a fan.
This is my first fanfic so please give me a lot of constructive criticism I really need it.
Los Angeles, Dominic Toretto: Age 7
"Daddy! Daddy! Daddy!" Little Dominic Toretto screamed down the hallway. Anthony Toretto ran down the hallway of his house with a crowbar ready to beat off whatever had his son screaming bloody murder.
He ran into Dom's room ready to fight off anything that would dare harm his little boy, but was confused when he saw nothing out of place in Dom' s room.
"What's the matter Dom? Why were you screaming?" Anthony asked crowbar still in hand, not letting his guard down.
"I'm scared Daddy, I keep seeing monsters in my room." Anthony let out a relieved sigh, when he realized his son was only scared of being left alone in the dark. You see, Dom's mother Teresa Toretto had died giving birth to Dominic's little sister Mia. Dom was only six when it happened. So to comfort himself and his son for the past week, he had Dom sleep with him in his bedroom, along with his daughter, so their entire family would be there with each other in silent comfort. But Dom had expressed his want to sleep in a bed of his own for a change, so Anthony Toretto begrudgingly complied. Although he could tell his son was trying to show his dad that he was strong enough for both of them.
Anthony put down his crowbar and walked over to his son's bed and sat down. Little Dominic didn't hesitate to crawl into his daddy's strong, safe, arms, where he knew the monsters couldn't touch him.
"How about tomorrow we can go buy you a nightlight, so no more monsters will even think of coming into your room, and tonight you can sleep in my room with me?" Dom nodded enthusiastically.
The Next Day
"Well which light do you want Dominic?" Anthony asked already knowing his son will choose something with a car of some sort on it. Dom was looking between two night lights with a very serious look on his face. He was trying to decide between the 69 Camaro, and the 1970 Charger nightlights. While little Mia was sleeping in Anthony's arms. Suddenly Dom looked up from his intense decision and looked up to watch a woman with little girl in her cart.
"Leticia stop grabbing things off the shelves just because you pick it up doesn't mean we're going to buy it, Baby." A woman said who was talking to a little Latina girl who looked like she was about 2 years old; the little girl had a little pout on her face as her assumed mother put the star nightlight back on its shelf. Dominic was staring straight at the little girl and waved, the little girl in turn stuck her tongue out at him. This captivated Dom even more, but what truly surprised me was he ran to the shelf and picked up the star nightlight, and said,
"I want this one," with the goofiest grin on his face.
