Chapter 3
"Alright, I'm coming." Letty yelled as she walked to her front door.
"Dom!"
It had been a month since the pair had seen each other.
"Hi Letty."
"What the hell are you doing here? You don't belong here. Yo no quiero tú aquí." (I don't want you here.)
"Pero, cariño te amo mucho." (But, sweetheart, I love you very much.)
"Y yo no." (And I don't.)
"Don't lie."
"Just tell me what you're doing here."
"I missed you. I wanted to try and repair our relationship."
"No. You should move on, Dominic."
"I don't want to. I want to stay with you. Please."
"I already said no. You're not gonna change my mind."
"Fine, but before I go, can you at least tell me what that is?" He said gesturing to her slightly protruding abdomen.
"That's none of your business."
"Are you pregnant?"
"Yes, but like I said, it's none of your business."
"It is if that's my baby."
"Dom, please just go. I don't want to talk right now."
"I'm gonna come back. You can't get rid of me."
"Whatever, Toretto." She said as she closed the door in his face.
Once she closed the door, she leaned against it and sighed heavily. She tried so hard not to, but she started tearing up. Damn hormones. She whipped her tears after a moment and went back to bed.
After only 30 minutes in bed, there was another knock at the door.
"I swear, Toretto, if that's you..."
"Oh."
"Don't seemed too depressed."
"Hey, Mi. What's up."
"Nothing. I just thought we could spend the day together. What do you say?"
"Yeah, sounds fun, but only if I can see Jack sometime today."
"Ok, deal. Now go get ready. We have a full day ahead of us."
"K, I'll be back in like 20. Just make yourself at home." Letty said as she went back to her bedroom to get ready.
After only 15 minutes, Letty came back, fully dressed, hair in a half up, half down style, and even a bit of makeup.
"So, where are we going first?"
"I was thinking we should get our nails done."
"Ugh, I should've known what I'd be getting myself into when I agreed to spending the day with you. Why do we have to do girly shit?"
"Because, sometimes it's good to get pampered."
"Fine, let's go before I change my mind."
The girls went to a famous nail salon in Downtown LA. Mia knew Letty would hate it but she liked to hear her complain. It was amusing.
Mia got her nails done in a baby blue color with white dots. Letty got her nails a dark grey because Mia refused to let her get black.
After the nail salon, the girls went to a small café for brunch.
"Mia, I still don't understand why we have to do such girly shit. I mean first we got our nails done and now we're eating brunch in a café. After this, can we please do something I like."
"And what exactly do you want to do?"
"Dammit, now that I think about it there's not a lot of stuff I can do. Racing doesn't happen until night and it's dangerous. I don't think there's any games today. Just tell me what we're doing next."
"Well I was thinking we could go get our hair done. I know you're not gonna like it, but it'll be fun."
"Honestly, I just want to do anything that keeps my mind off of Dom."
"What do you mean?"
"Dom came to my apartment this morning. He said he wanted to work things out. I told him no and he said he would come back. He's not gonna give up. I guess he really does want to work things out. I'm not sure, though. I love him but he has a lot of explaining to do."
"That baby is coming soon. Don't you think he has a right to be apart of his child's life?"
"I don't know, Mi. He really hurt me this time. I don't know if I want him to see my child."
"Just think about it."
"I am and I will."
"Good."
The girls finished their brunch and went to get their hair done like Mia said.
Mia got her hair in a half up, half done style with the lower hair curled into beach waves and the top part braided into a fishtail. Letty had her hair in simple curls and up in a ponytail.
"Can we go see Jack, now?" Letty said when they walked out of the salon.
"Yeah, let's go."
Mia drove herself and Letty back to 1327 and discovered Brian and Jack playing in the front yard.
"Look, Mommy's home." Brian said to his son.
"Hi, baby." Mia said as she hugged her son.
"Hey, kid." Letty said to the boy as he hugged her.
"Hi, Aunt Letty." The little blonde said.
"So, what did you girls do today?" Brian said as he kissed Mia's cheek.
"We got our nails done, we went to brunch, and got our hair done."
"You look beautiful, baby."
"Thank you."
"You look good too, Let."
"Thanks Bri."
"Letty, do you wanna stay for dinner?" Brian suggested.
"Um, I don't know."
"Well, do you have somewhere else to be?" Mi said.
"No, not really."
"Then you should stay for dinner."
"Fine."
After a few more minutes in the yard, the family decided to move to the back yard.
"Can I talk to you guys about something?" Letty said.
"What's up, Let." Brian said as he set down Jack.
"I'm gonna move after the wedding."
"What!?" Mia said, shocked.
"I've had a lot of time to think lately and I realized that it would best for me and my child if I moved out of LA. I've spent most of my life here. And being here just reminds me of Dom. I'm completely serious about not going back to Dom. We both need to move on."
"But, don't you want your child to have a family?"
"Of course I do, Mi. I'll still visit and stuff, but right now, I just wanna be on my own."
"Where would you be moving to?"
"Spain. I love the place and I have enough money to buy a cozy villa in the Canary Islands. I have to do this."
"I'll leave about a week after the wedding. I'm really sorry."
"Letty, you don't have to be sorry. We will love and support no matter what. We're family. It's what families do." Mia said as she embraced Letty.
"I love you, Mia."
"Love you too, Letty."
Right as Mia and Letty let go of each other, the doorbell rang.
"I'll get it." Letty said.
"Dominic Antonio Sicily Toretto, what the fuck are you doing here?"
"The better question, is why are you here."
"I'm supposed to be having dinner with my family."
"My sister, my nephew, and Brian?"
"Why do you care?"
"They're my family too."
"No, Dom. You lost them the day you walked out on me."
"Letty, I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have done that."
"Dominic, I don't want your apologies. Just, please, leave."
"No, not until you let me explain."
"Fine, you have one minute."
"When I left, I had planned on coming back that night. I figured you'd want some space, so I got a motel for the night. I was going to go back to you, in the morning, but I ran into a girl."
"30 seconds." Letty said, bored.
"Letty, I don't know how to tell you this, but I got her pregnant."
"Good going, Dom. Honestly, I really don't care anymore. I'm gonna live a happy life with my child and you'll live a happy life with yours. We have to move on, Dom. You're minute is up. Can you please leave?"
"Yeah. Goodbye, Let."
"Goodbye, Dom." She said, on the verge of tears. (A/N: The same way she said goodbye in the cemetery scene in F&F 7.)
She wiped her eyes her eyes and walked back to the backyard.
"Who was it?"
"Dom."
"What happened?"
"He told me he got a girl pregnant. I told him I didn't care and that we should both move on and live happy lives with our families. But, the truth is, I really do care. I feel extremely betrayed."
"Dom's an ass. I'm glad you told him to move on. He needs to."
"Are you still gonna invite him to the wedding?"
"No."
"Good."
"Let, I know it's not traditional, but can you walk me down the aisle? My dad was gonna do it but, well, you know. Then it was gonna be Dom but now I'm not even inviting him. So, I want you to do it."
"Mi, I will gladly walk you down the aisle."
"Thanks, sis."
"Can we eat now? I'm hungry."
"I am too. I'm gonna get Bri to make us dinner."
"Yay."
