Dom looked at his calm wife in shock. He didn't know what to do. The baby isn't due for four more weeks, two states away from their doctor, and the roads were covered in snow. It could be braxton hicks or actual labor but they needed to go to a hospital.
"Are you sure?" He asks her.
"I just had a gush of fluid fall out of me while I was taking a piss. This is happening."
"Okay okay. Uhh..alright. We can use the car to get to the hospital. It'll be slow but we'll get there."
"There's ten inches of snow outside."
"It won't stop the truck."
"What about clothes for the baby?"
"They got gift shops. We'll get her a couple of onesies and we can find a car seat tomorrow." He says frantically trying to fill the suitcase with clothes. She wobbles over to him and takes his hand.
"Dom honey, you need to sit down for me okay." He sits and she stands in front of him."Now I'm going to change out of this dress while you go downstairs and called the guy from the front cabin where we checked in. There's gotta be a hospital that's close by."
"How are you so calm right now? I thought you'd be panicking right now."
"Oh no, I'm only calm because I know how this goes the second time around. I got good ten minutes before these contractions hit me light a freight train. So go downstairs and call him, then come get me." She says.
"Okay. I'll make the call and we'll find a way out of here."
"Don't tell the kids, I don't want them freaking out. I love you." She kisses him and she walks back into the bathroom.
Dom takes off his jacket and throws it on the bed. He goes into the hallway and gets on his phone with the front desk.
"Front Desk" The cheery voice elates.
"Hi, This is Dom Toretto in Cabin 6. My wife just went into labor and we need to get to a hospital nearby."
"Well the hospital is about eight miles east of the resort but there is a birthing center about two miles into town."
"Okay. Do you think the jeep would be able to get through the snow?"
"Yes, the car has snow tires to trek through but you have to be cautious while driving. If you can't get out, we have a horse and carriage that can get you there."
"Alright, what's the name of the birthing center?"
"The Valley Cloud Birthing Center."
"Okay, Thank you."
He races downstairs and sees everyone in the living room. He needed to get Brian and Mia away so they could help them sneak out of the house.
"Hey Bri, Mia. Can I talk to you guys for a second?" The couple gets up off the couch and walk over to Dom whose standing by the stairs. "Okay I need you guys to help me but you can't tell everybody else or freak out the kids."
"Dom what's wrong? You're scaring me." Mia says to him.
"Letty's water just broke. I got to get her to the birthing center in town. I need you guys to make sure the kids don't see us and watch them until we're back."
"Are you sure it's the real one?" Brian asks him.
"Yes we're sure." They turn to see Letty standing at the top of the stairs in her red leggings and puffy black coat.
"Baby I haven't warmed up the car yet." He says to her quietly so no one else could hear.
"Your daughter doesn't care. She's running the show buster."
"You know she ain't playing when she calling you the buster." Brian says to Dom.
"Can we go now?" She says.
"Let me help you honey." Mia goes up the stairs and takes Letty's hand to go down the stairs.
"You guys gonna make it through in the jeep?" Brian asks.
"Yeah. They have snow tires so we can make the two miles." He says grabbing his snow jacket.
Letty and Mia get down the stairs and she helps her re-adjust her coat as Letty fixes her pink beanie on her head."You guys are good with the kids?"
"We'll be fine. You two just get to the birth center." Mia says.
"Alright let's get on the road." Dom says as he opens the door.
"Let's make some babies, it'll be fun honey." She says walking out of the house.
"She loves me, I swear." He says walking out the door behind her.
Two Years and Nine Months Ago, March 2015
Havana, Cuba
Dom and Letty lay in bed together as the fan blows towards the bed. Dom holds his with in his arms as she lays her head in the crook of his neck. He kisses the top part of her nose and she smiles as she slowly wakes up. She opens her eyes and moves her head up to look into his eyes,nudging her nose against his.
"Hi Husband."
"Hi Wife."
"Can I tell you something?"
"Yeah."
"I never want to leave. I know we've been here a day but I love it here. The people, the culture, and the food. So much to offer on this little island." She says as she traces her fingers on his chest.
"Good cause I'm not letting you out of this bed." He says as he pulls her on to his chest, making her laugh. She straddles his waist and he sits up on his hands. She wraps her arms around his neck and he puts his hands on her hips. "Can I tell you something?"
"Mmhm."
"Seeing yo with the family yesterday got me thinking about us." He says as he slides his hand up her blush pink nightie to her face, touching her cheek.
"You want us to move to Cuba now?"
"No. But now that we're together and we're happy, we can build a life and maybe...a family of our own."
"You want kids?"
"Do you want them?"
"I always knew you would want them but we just never talked about when."
"We've lost so much time together and I never thought we'd get the chance and now we do."
"We would make some really cute babies."
"So what do you say, you wanna make a few babies with me?"
"Well, you said a lot so..I guess we better get to work."
He laughs and kisses her, laying back down on the bed and bringing her back down with him.
Present
"Alright baby, take it easy." Dom helps Letty out of the truck in front of the birthing center. He holds her hand and shoulder as they walk to the front door of a building and a nurse walks up to the door with a wheelchair. She opens the door fr them and they walk through.
"Hi I'm Josie. are you Dom and Letty?"
"Yes, did somebody call for us?"
"Jerry from the hotel called and said you were coming." She helped Letty into the wheelchair and wheeled her through the lobby. the area looked like a hospital only smaller. "Is this your first?"
"Our second. Please tell me you can give me an epidural." Letty groans as her contractions speed up. A doctor comes out of a room at the end of the hall in navy blue scrubs. He's quiet old and has a stephescope around it's neck.
"Well hello there. Who's ready to have a baby?" He says.
"Now's not the best time for jokes." Dom says to him seeing Letty point bullet eyes of anger at him.
"How far apart are her contractions?" He asks.
"There five minutes apart." Dom says as Letty squeezes her hand.
"Looks like your baby ready to come out. We may not be able to give you medication for the pain."
"You've got to be kidding me?" Letty says as her head falls back.
"We have several birth methods in aiding through labor."
"What's the best one?" Letty says.
"We have several birthing baths that are helpful."
"We'll do it." Letty blurts out.
"Letty, are sure?" Dom asks her.
"I don't freaking care. I want this kid out now...AHHHH." She screams as another contraction hits.
"Let's get you to a room." The doctor orders.
