Chapter four
Brian spent the rest of he and Mias honeymoon in a state of shock. His wife and his baby sister were pregnant at the same time. They were on the plane back to Cali and he spent most of the trip staring out of the window. Mia looked at him for the thousandth time and rolled her eyes.
Brian was disappointed. His baby sister was supposed to be enjoying her twenties, not becoming a mother. Part of him was cared that she wasn't in the right state of mind to make life altering decisions. He knew Dom would kill him for even bringing up the subject. Evie was doing great, but that doesn't mean she's one hundred percent back to her old self. She still has nightmares from time to time.
Nothing was more important to Brian than making sure his sister was well cared for after everything she went through, but the thought of being called uncle Brian made him smile a little. Conflicting emotions. He could see Jack running around with two other children laughing and raising hell. That life looked great. Sighing he looked at his beautiful wife and grabbed her hand, kissing it.
" Are you out of your mood? " She asked smiling smiling at him.
He smiled back and nodded. " I Guess it wouldn't be so bad to have a couple more little people around. "
With Evie and Dom
Jack got excited as they entered the airport. Evie knew he had missed his parents. " Jack come here. " She said holding out her hand so that she wouldn't lose him.
He smiled and ran to her, happily taking her hand. Dom looked at them with a silly grin on his face. He couldn't wait until their baby was born. Evie had her first doctors appointment the day before and the doctor said she was a little over a month along. They got to see their baby on the ultrasound, which at this point looked like a small dot. The doctor turned the volume up on the machine and they heard the heartbeat. Dom couldn't remember ever being this happy.
They got to the right terminal and sat down to wait. Jack found a little friend to talk to who was sitting a couple of seats away and they babbled on and on. Evie kept her eyes on him while Dom looked for Brian and Mia. After ten minutes he tapped her on the shoulder. She looked over and saw them coming through the crowd.
Evie looked at Jack and grinned. " Guess who I see? " She asked nodding her head in their direction.
He looked and took off running. " Mommy! "
Mia dropped her bags and picked him up and hugging him tight. " I missed you so much cheeky monkey! "
Dom grabbed the bags she dropped and sat them down where they were waiting. Brian stood behind Mia waiting to hug his son as well. Mia handed Jack to him and immediately pulled Evie in for a hug.
" I can't wait to be an aunt! " She said excitedly.
Dom and Brian stared each other down before Brian held his hand out to shake. Dom grabbed it and pulled him in for a manly hug. Evie looked at her big brother and gave him a small smile. He looked her over and saw that she was glowing. She had never looked so happy before. Dom and Mia saw that they were having a moment and took Jack to the vending machines for a soda.
Brian and Evie sat down side by side and were silent for a moment. " Is this what you really want Evelina? " He asked softly.
She knew this was coming. " I want it more than I have ever wanted anything Bri. I feel like I am exactly where I'm supposed to be. I love Dom and I can't wait to be a mom. Lord knows I'll be better than ours. " She said shuddering a little.
" Jack is going to have a new sibling and a new cousin to play with. " He said putting it out there.
Evies eyes got big. " Mias pregnant? "
He nodded his head and she pulled him in for a big hug. " Another niece or nephew for me! "
" Hey I thought we were telling them togther? " Mia said holding a Dr. Pepper to Evie.
Brian smiled. " Sorry babe I couldn't stop myself. "
Dom was holding Jack and grinning. " Well we all have something to celebrate. This calls for a family BBQ. Let's get out of here. " He said pulling out his phone.
AAF-NB
Every one showed up to the BBQ. Rome and Tej came after they closed up shop. Han showed up with some racer chick. Even Hobbs stopped by. Everyone was sat around the two large picnic tables as Roman said grace. Once he was done Dom moved Evie, who was in his lap, into a standing position and stood as well.
" I want to thank you all for coming. Tonight we are celebrating two amazing changes that are happening with in our family. " He said and Brian and Mia stood as well.
" Mia is pregnant with baby number two. " Brian gushed and everyone cheered and got up to congratulate them.
Evie put her hand on her still flat stomach and smiled. " I'm pregnant too. "
Romans eyes almost popped out of his head. " Arte you serious right now sis?! " He yelled picked her up and twirling her around.
" Rome put me down or I'm gonna barf on you. " He put her down instantly.
Everyone was hugging and congratulating and didn't see the woman walking into the back yard. Mia pulled back from Han and was the first to notice. " Letty? "
Dom, Brian, and Evie all turned to look at her words. The Letty stood there looking all out of place. " So... What are we celebrating? " She asked awkwardly.
Dom glared at her. " What are you doing here? " He asked pulling Evie close to him. Letty noticed and narrowed her eyes.
" I missed my family. " She said putting her hands on her hips, her eyes never leaving Evie.
Mia went and pulled her in for a small hug. After all, they had been close at one point and time. Letty hugged her back.

Dom was fuming. Not hungry anymore, he went into his garage and took a look under the hood Evies Camaro.
How dare she show up five years after she left me? When I'm happier than I've ever been in my life?
He thought wanting to punch something hard, but restrained himself because the last time he did that it hurt like hell.
" Babe? " Came Evie voice from the front of the garage. She was holding a plate of food.
He looked at her and instantly felt better. " Hey beautiful. " He said wiping his hands off on a rag.
She walked to where her car was parked and handed him the plate. " I know you're hungry please eat. "
He took it and sat on the work bench. She leaned against her car and watched him eat for a few seconds.
" So that was her huh? The woman that broke your heart? She's pretty. " She said sadly.
Dom looked at her and sat his food down and motioned for her to come to him. She sat on his lap and his hands rested right over the life that was growing in her. " She isn't important anymore. This- " He said rubbing her stomach " is what's important. Our baby. Me and you. Ride or die. "
His words hit her hard and she turned to give him a passionate kiss. Someone cleared their throats and they broke apart. Letty stood there holding a Corona.
" I didn't mean to interrupt, can we talk for a few minutes? " She asked looking at Dom.
He sighed and pecked Evies lips. " Give us a minute. Save me some desert. " He said and Evie stood up and walked passed Letty, who grinned a little.
Evie rolled her eyes once she was back in the sunlight. Mia saw her and smiled. " I see you've met Letty. " She said linking her arm in hers and walking around the yard.
" Not formally. She needed to speak with Dom. " She said rolling her eyes again.
Mia grinned. " You're so jealous. "
Evie glared at her. " It's not funny! She's his first love, the woman who left him. I don't know her, but I hate her already. "
Mia just bust out laughing. " Oh sissy I don't mean to laugh, but you gotta know that Dom loves you and your baby more than anything. Letty may be his first love, but you're his true love. I believe that with all of my heart. "
Her words made Evie realize that she was being silly. She was just terrified that she would lose Dom and slip back into the shell of a person she used to be. She wouldn't recover if that were to happen she just knew it.
" Thanks Mia. I really needed to hear that. So... You never told me about Greece. Was it as beautiful as they say it is? " She asked.
Mia smiled and started pulling her towards the house. " I have so many pictures you have to see them. Oooh and I got you a present. Come on! "

Dom stood up and went back to Evies Camaro. " I'd never in a million years have thought you'd like anything other than your Charger. " She said lightly.
He snorted. " This is Evies Camaro. "
Letty made a face. " Yeah Brians sister. Look I don't know her, or what you and her have going on, but- "
Dom didn't let her finish. " That's right you don't know what's going on. She's Mias sister in law. She's carrying my child. She's my woman. The best woman. She's been through hell and back and can still smile and be happy. She's stronger than most people. That's who Evie is. " Dom growled.
Letty looked like she was gonna be sick. " You knocked her up!? Ever heard of a condom Dom? "
He had never put his hands on a woman but she was pushing it. " Don't go there Letty! It wasn't an accident, more of a surprise. We've been together for over two years. "
" You mean you're serious about that kid? I would have understood if you were just hooking up but that's kind of robbing the cradle isn't it? " She said hitting below the belt.
Dom shut the hood and walked up to her. " You don't know the situation so just stop running your mouth. If you plan on hanging around you will be on your best behavior are we clear? " He asked firmly.
She nodded and he left her to go find Evie.
