Chapter 2

He smiled as he looked over at her, "My name is Dominic Toretto. What's yours?"

"I'm Emma Thompson." She held out her hand to him with Brenden on her shoulder closest to Dom, "It's nice to meet another single parent!"

Dom shook her hand and smiled as Brenden started to giggle as he moved his hand out towards Dallas. Dallas laid his head down on his daddy's shoulder and rubbed his little nose against the soft material of the shirt.

Dom and Emma sat and talked for a little while longer before they decided to go in and finish their shopping. After they said goodbye, they headed in different directions into the store.

A few minutes later Dom stood in front of the baby juice again; he tried to figure out what flavor Dallas might drink better. He sighed before he heard Emma's voice.

"Do you need some help, Dominic?" she asked as she saw Dom looking confused. Emma slowly pushed her cart down the same aisle that he stood in.

As he looked up from the juice he smiled at her, "Have you ever had to buy this juice for Brenden?"

She nodded her head as she walked a little closer to Dom. "Yeah, I had to buy him some a couple of weeks ago."

While he looked back at the shelf lined with different flavors he ran a hand over his head, frustrated that he had to ask a stranger for help, "Was there a certain flavor he liked more?"

She let out a small laugh. "I found that he prefers the grape flavor, the other ones he just spit back out." Emma reached in front of Dom and picked up a smaller bottle of the grape juice.

Dom looked into the seat of the basket, and grinned at Brenden, "A man that knows what he likes! Ya gotta love that!" Dom chuckled, and felt a little more at ease, since Emma didn't seem to think he was weird asking a question like that.

Emma nodded her head and smiled at Dom. "I would try a small bottle of it first, just in case Dallas decides he doesn't like that flavor." When she heard Brenden shriek, she turned her head towards him and giggled at her very vocal baby.

After he put the bubble gum flavor back on the shelf, he chuckled. "Yeah, save me some money in case he decides not to drink it either," he did a small pause, "One more thing!" He placed the grape bottle into his cart and looked at Emma, "Do I just give it to him straight? Or do I have to mix it with the formula?" he asked and again he hoped she didn't laugh at all of his questions.

She gave him the sweetest smile he had seen on a woman other than on his sister. "How many ounces is Dallas eating, Dominic?"

After he glanced at her, he grinned as he peered into the cart at Dallas, "He is taking four ounces every three hours," Dom said, proud that his son was a big eater and had finally got to the point where his little belly was letting him eat more then two ounces every two hours.

"Okay, you put in two ounces of the juice and add two ounces of slightly warm water. Shake the bottle to mix it up and then give it to him." Emma smiled since she loved that she could help a single father.

Dom looked back at Emma, "Thanks, Emma. I appreciate your help today!" Again he focused on Dallas who was a sleep in his car seat. "Do you think I could possibly call you if I have anymore questions about this whole baby thing?" He glanced at her and hoped she didn't tell him no.

For a second she thought about it as she looked Dom over. "That would be fine, Dominic!" She quickly wrote down her name and number on a piece of paper, before she slowly reached her hand over and handed it to him. It was then that Emma noticed Brenden was quiet as he rubbed his tired eyes. "Well I better get this one home. Call me anytime!" She smiled one more time before she pushed her cart away.

Someday I won't need to ask people all of these questions; someday I'll be the one telling the answers, he thought as he placed the number into the safety of his front jean pocket. He did another big sigh, before he headed to the front of the store to pay for the medication and the juice.

Pulling up to the diner Dom took a crying Dallas out with him. He walked into the store as he carried the diaper bag and the bag with the juice and medication in it. "Mia, can you put two ounces of this juice stuff into a bottle and then add two ounces of water for me?" he asked, out of breath and now feeling exhausted.

Mia took the diaper bag from her brother and set it onto the counter. "I will! What did the doctor say?" she asked as she got the juice from the bag and headed over to the sink to mix the liquid with water.

Dom ran a hand over his head that was now starting to hurt. "He's got an ear infection, she thinks that is why he's not wanting to eat or sleep," he sighed and took the liquid medicine out of the pharmacy bag, before he read how much to give the screaming baby. "Doc gave me medicine to help with the pain and infection and showed me how to give him a wet wash cloth to suck on if he won't take a bottle."

Coming back from getting the guy's drinks, Jesse picked up the juice container that Mia set down. "Did the doctor recommend this for him?" he asked as he put the juice back in its place on the counter.

Dom nodded as his head started to throb worse. He took the eye dropper and slowly squirted the pink medicine into Dallas' mouth. "Yeah and a mother I met at the pharmacy told me how to give it to him." He looked at his younger sister and their three friends. "If it wasn't for her I would have probably given him straight juice and made him sicker or something." He frowned but then smiled as he noticed that Dallas wasn't crying anymore; instead his little lips smacked together while he swallowed the yummy stuff his daddy gave to him.

Mia rubbed Dallas's head. "That was nice of her to help you out! Does she have a little one too?"

Dom took the opportunity to put the juice bottle nipple into Dallas' mouth. "Yeah, her son is almost seven months old." He watched Dallas start to try and drink. "I think I'm going to talk to Frankie, the owner of the pharmacy, about putting in a changing table in the men's room," he said out of the blue as he looked up at his sister and smirked.

Laughing, Mia looked over towards her big brother. "Did you have to change him in your car again?"

He smirked at her and started to chuckle; the time he didn't get the diaper onto Dallas quick enough and the baby peed on the seat ran through his head. The way Mia snorted from laughing so hard made him laugh harder. "Nah, I got to use the women's bathroom. But you weren't there to be my look out, so Emma said she would do it for me."

"You are turning into a woman, D! First you start carrying around a big purse and now you use the women's bathroom? I'm definitely never having kids if I have to turn girly!" Vince said with a cocky smile, which made Dom and Mia both peer at him as he walked from the bathroom to the food counter. Just as Vince sat down, he flinched. "Ow, Mia, what the hell did you do that for?" he asked and started to rub his upper arm where Mia smacked him.

"Leave him alone, he's doing what any good father does!" She walked back behind the counter to get their lunch started.

Dom took a moment to observe Dallas; he noticed that Dallas had drank about an ounce already. "Poor little D. is such a hungry little boy," he said as Dallas let go of the nipple, gasping for a breath that he didn't want to take. Dom smirked and set the bottle down in order to burp him. At first Dallas laid his head on his dad's shoulder and watched Vince drink from his own form of a bottle. A few moments later Dallas picked his head up, while his eyes were still fixated on Vince and let out a loud burp. All four men stopped what they were doing and looked at the twelve pound baby, as his little eyebrows moved in thought as he switched his view to Leon.

The men made little cheering noises, "That was a great one, little man! You are getting the hang of this man thing!" Leon said as he bent down and smiled at Dallas.

Mia giggled and started to plate the food. "My nephew is not going to be a man like you four. He's going to be a gentleman!" She looked over at the miniature Dominic as he let out another little burp, since his dad kept patting his back.

When the guys did another cheer for the second burp, Dallas' head quickly went back down to the comfort of his daddy's shoulder and a big smile appeared on his little chubby face.
