Here's another chapter! Thank you so much for all your lovely reviews!

As a thankyou, I've decided to spilt this chapter into two, so instead of a two shot, it will be a three shot!

Enjoy X


'I can't have children'. The words echoed round his head like a record stuck on repeat. He could sense his wofe looking at him, watching him for his reaction.

'Dom.. say something, please'. He ignored her, the words from before still filling his ears. He dropped his hand from her stomach in shock, inhaling a breath, before he realised his mistake. Dom watched as Lettys eyes flashed with hurt and whipped round to face him.

'Let-'

'What? You can't touch me now I've told you that?' She asked icily, her eyes showing her emotions.

'I didn't mean... you just told me you cant have kids, how was I supposed to react?' Dom winced at the words, digging himself a small hole.

'Any way but that!' Letty exclaimed. 'Do you know what that instantly makes me think?' She continued.

Dom quickly nodded and reached out for her. 'Im sorry! Im sorry!' He cupped her cheek with his hand feeling her tense slightly. 'Tell me what the doctor said' he told her softly, his hand slipping down to hers and leading her back to the bedroom, his hand flicking the bathroom switch off. He climbed back into bed, frowning as Letty sat on the bed, crossed legged.

'He asked me if I had any previous surgery and I told him I had. One, was to stop the internal bleeding after the car accident, and then another in my teens' Letty said, her fingers picking at the bed sheets.

Dom frowned. 'What surgery in your teens?'

'It was shortly after you had gone to Lompoc' Letty revealed, her eyes dropping to the bed sheets.

17 years previous

Letty Ortiz swallowed down another glass of water, rinising her mouth of the taste of bile. While she hadn't been physically sick, she had kept dry heaving silently into the bucket she had discreetly placed next to her while she worked on a car at the gargage.

'Okay, lunchtime! Who's buying and where are we going?' Vince Epps hollered, the second the clock hit 12pm.

'Leon, you can buy. We'll eat outside, its a nice day' Jesse Lomas said, before rushing through to the back to find some chairs.

After Leon had got almost everyones order, he turned to Letty, noticing her pale face.

'Girl, you okay?' He asked, frowning as she nodded.

'Course I am! I'll have my usual!' Letty snapped, not wanting the others to fuss over her. She waved Leon off and turned back to her car, her stomach hurting...

'Letty, you okay? You've been in there a while!' Mia Toretto shouted up the stairs.

It was now early evening and after only taking a few mouthfuls of food earlier when Leon had returned to the garage, the gang were watching her closely. Nothing would normally stop Letty from eating seconds on any meal, until today.

'I'm fine, Mia! I'll be down in a minute' Letty shouted back shakily, before bile rose in her throat again and she quickly ducked her head back over the toilet and threw up again.

'Letty?' Mia's voice seemed closer and it wasnt until her hand pressed against Letty's forehead, that Letty realised she was in the bathroom with her.

'Go away, Mia!' Letty groaned, stifling a pained cry with her teeth digging into her bottom lip.

'Letty, I think you've got a temperature! Let me go get you some water!' Mia exclaimed, not missing the way Letty was clutching her stomach, before she quickly rushed from the room.

'No, Mia!' Letty called after her, but it came out as a whisper. She tried to get to feet, but a searing pain erupted through her stomach, causing her to scream out loud, painfully. She gasped as she hit the floor, clenching her teeth in pain. She heard feet hurrying up the stairs.

'Letty, you okay?' She heard as the footsteps got louder. She was vaguely aware of Jesse screaming for Mia to call for an ambulance, before she succumbed to the darkness...

'Wait a minute, you collapsed and I didnt hear about it?' Dom interupted, his expression showed he wasnt pleased about this new piece of information being brought to life.

'What could you have done? You were in Lompoc!' Letty stated

'What about when I came home?' He pointed out.

'You came out of Lompoc a year and half after that. It didnt seem worth mentioning and up until recently, I didnt think I'd ever have to bring it up again!'

Dom sighed. He had been waited for the anger to spill from Letty, but he still hated that side to her, she was scary when she wanted to be.

'Okay. Just tell me what happened when you woke up' Dom said, trying to ease some of the anger from Letty.

'I woke up a few hours later and they told me I had had a rupted appendix. Long story short, theres so much scarring tissue from that operation, coupled with that from the car accident, that...' Letty trailed, lifting her hand and running her finger over her forehead.

'How can a rupted-'

'It released pus into my abdomen, which caused my ovaries and fallopian tubes to become infected!' Letty interupted sharply, her tone marking finality of the convosation.

Dom reached out for her hand, but she pulled away, climbing from the bed and walking towards the window, gazing out at the night sky, not wanting his comfort at that point in time.

'There are other ways we can have kids, Letty' Dom spoke after spending ten minutes in silence. He watched as Letty's spine straightened as she turned from staring out of the window to fave him, her face not impressed.

'Other. Ways?' She punctuated each word with a step towards him, her arms folded. 'Do you think I want some random stranger bringing our child into the world? I'm your wife, Dom! I should be the one the give you a kid! Me, the one you've known since we were kids' she shouted, her eyes hardening as her voice got louder.

'Letty, I was pointing out the possibilities, I wasn't saying we should go ahead and do it!' Dom remarked, hotly. Letty's eyes flashed as she stood her ground.

'Do you think I want to see a surrogate do all the things I should do? Carrying a child, going to the scans, etc?' Letty argued. Dom stayed silent, his eyes narrowing as he latched onto something that she had said earlier in the night.

'Coupled with that from the car accident?' Dom said, causing Letty to blink at the sudden change of convosation.

'What?' She asked, her head tilting to one side.

'Coupled with that from the car accident' that's what you said. So, are you saying that if you hadn't got into that accident, you could have be able to have kids?' Dom asked, his voice tight as he tried to keep control of it.

'I don't know! Maybe, but if-' Letty cut herself off, throwing her arms in the the air. She looked as though as she was refraining herself from saying something else, causing Dom to frown.

'But what? What else were you say?' He asked, reaching for her shoulders. 'LETTY?' He shouted, his eyes searching hers for the answer, as she still didn't answer him.

A knock at the door made Letty jump. She eased herself free of Dom's grip and unlocled the door, swinging it open to find a very tired looking Jack.

'Jack!'

'Why are you shouting?' He asked, rubbing his eyes tiredly.

'We... We were just having a disagreement and it got out of hand. Sorry, Jack' Letty apologized. She glanced over her shoulder at Dom, who was sat on the edge of their bed, rubbing a hand over his jead and face. 'Come on, lets go get you settled again' she held out a hand for Jack to take and led him back to his bedroom, leaving Dom to his thoughts...


'Are you not coming back up to bed?' Letty took a long sip of her Corona, as Dom spoke up from behind her, half an hour later.

'Thought it'd be best if I gave you some space' she replied, handing him a Corona when he sat down next to her on the kitchen steps.

He took a long sip before he sighed and turned to speak to her. 'You blame me don't you, thats what you were going to say? For the car crash? If I hadn't left you, you wouldnt have gone to Brian, and met Braga. We wouldn't have had to spend a year and half without each other.'

'I was about to blame you, but then Jack knocked on the door, thankfuy. We're both to blame, me more so than you because I knew what I was getting myself into was potentially life threatening' Letty said, drinking from her bottle, before looking at her husband. 'I'm sorry. I'm sorry for even thinking it-'

'You dont have to be sorry, like you said, we're both at fault. I made the worst desicion possible when I turned my back on you and I'm just glad that I've got a second chance' Dom said, reaching out for her hand and clasping it with her free one.

'Are you... disappointed?' Letty wondered a few minutes, her head resting against his shoulder.

'A little bit, but if it means I get you all to myself then I suppose I'll be okay' Dom said, kissing the top of her head and smiling. Letty lifted her head, making sure to lock their eyes.

'We're going to be okay, aren't we?' It was rare for Letty to show her feelings, but he knew himself it was better than bottling them up.

'We're going to fine, I promise' Dom told her, his hand cupping her cheek as he leaned to kiss her. Letty responded firmly, her arm looping round his neck and pulling herself closer to her husband...
