Chapter 8

Sam's POV

Rome handed everyone a drink "Yeah, come on baby. Who's good living? So, we in Brazil, it's the good life. You got a little more than $19 or $20 million coming, what you going to do with your money?" Rome said as he sat down on a nearby chair, we all looked at each other. I just surged my shoulders. Han put his head to the side thinking, I couldn't help but smile at him; he looks cute when he thinks.

"Me, actually, man, I have been thinking about opening up a garage back home. A place where people can bring their cars and not get completely ripped off, you know what I mean?" Tej said then took a drink out of his beer. "Yeah, that sounds good." I said out to him.

"Really, so your dream is to start a day job? That's stupid like, why would..." Rome started to say, making me and Han chuckle a little. "No, It's not stupid at all. I love what I do." Tej commented back to him "You tell him, T." I said to Tej making him laugh

"That don't make no sense to me." Rome said while looking at us. "Nothing ever makes sense to you, Rome." I said to him making him look at me, just then Rico came up to the table placing a plate down with burnt ribs.

"I know what I'm going to do with my money; buying some cooking lessons for my man." Rico called out. "See? See? There you go with that negativity. Man, you know me. Money ain't a god damn thing." Tego shouted to him which really made me laugh. "It's going to take a little more than money to learn how to cook. That's horrible, but I heard they was looking for a chef down at this animal shelter. I know the manager." Rome said to him. "Aww, come on, boys. Leave Tego be. If that the way he likes to cook, then so be it, he likes it." I said out sticking up for Tego. "You always have to go onto the side that make no sense, don't you, Baby Girl." Rome called out.

"She just like to be nice to people" Han called out still massaging my ankle which does not hurt as much now but I bet if I stand up, it will. "Ohh yeah, saying all the good stuff to stay in her good book just so you get some at night." Tej commented out to Han. "Who said it's just at night?" I questioned knowing all too well it would start something. "Hell no, where?" Rome exclaimed as he jumped out of his chair. "Like we will tell you, Rome." Han said to him throwing a chip at him. Rome just laughed walking off somewhere. "You always know what to say to start him off, don't you." Han said looking at me. I just smiled and winked at him. "You know me." I said back to him moving closer to him, kissing him. "Keep that to the room people." Tej said out to us making me and Han laugh…

"We're less than 24 hours form the biggest celebration of our lives. Y'all need a refill. This is serious stuff." Rome said while handing everyone a beer then to Mia and Brian "No, I'm good, thank you." Mia said to him, giving the beer to Brian. "No, she can't." Brian told his friend as Rome tried to give her another one. "What do you mean?" Rome asked the couple. "She can't." Brian said back to him then looking a Mia as she looked at him. I moved off Han's lap, standing up. "You good?" Han asked me. "Yeah, I'm good, actually." I told him while walking over to Brain and Mia with Han following me. I could fell his eyes on me as I walked, well more like hobbled, to see Brian rubbing Mia's belly.

I just laughed to myself knowing all too well what he was saying. "Are you serious right now? Is that the reason you let him beat you in the quarter-mile? That was a baby gift." Rome said out making us all laugh. "No, that's messed up! No, you're not taking that away from me." Brian commented out, I just laughed just as Tej came up behind me. "Wait, Wait, hold on a second. So did he just smack he ass or did he grab and hold on to it? Which one was it?" Tej asked making us all laugh again. I just punched his arm. "Damn, Girl, you got a punch." Tej said back to me before I walk off to hug Mia. "Congratulation, Mia." I said to her as I hugged her. "Thanks." Mia replied as I saw Han go up to Brian giving him one of them man hug things "Congratulations, Man." Han said to him. "Crazy, Huh?" Brain said back to him "It's you boy. Why would you keep something like that away from me?" Rome said but I don't think anyone was paying anything to him. "What happened to the pull-out method, Man?" Tej asked causing everyone looked at Han and I."Ahh hell, don't look at me like that." I told them all.

"So, is there going to be a baby between the two of you?" Rome asked, I took in a deep breath. "No." I answered. "Really? You don't want a kid?" Mia questioned me, Han still quietly standing near me. "Hey, we just got together and only know each other 2, maybe 3, months and I can't." I said to them as the all looked at me. I felt Han's arm wrap around my waist. "So I did not have to pull out then. Why couldn't you have told me that early?" Han said out making everyone laugh. "HAN!" I shouted to him punching his arm harded then I punched Tej. "Ahh, that hurts." Han said out to me. "I know, man, just did it to me not too long ago. I know your pain." Tej said, still rubbing his 'injured' arm. "You know I'm joking, Baby?" Han asked into my ear before kissing my neck. "I know." I said to him "So, how come you can't have kids?" Mia asked "I don't know. I had a check-up not long after meeting Dom and they said that everything seem to be well and the operation I had, it was done really well, so I figure that something must have happened a long time ago." I said out to then "Toast." Dom voice came out, making us all stop and walk over to him and Brian "Money will come and go. We know that, but the most important thing in life will always be the people in this room. Right here, right now. To Family." Dom said rising his beer "To Family!" we all said as we toasted to 'family'.

Han's POV

I walked up to Dom as everyone was talking to each other "So Mia's having a baby, bet you're happy." I asked him; Dom just smiled. "Yeah, family is getting bigger." Dom said back to me, I just looked at him, then to the team to see Sam laughing as Rome was tickling her sides. I just smile and laughed a little at the scene. "So you and Sam. I know I told you before but she really need someone there for her." Dom told me with a very serious face. I looked at him then back to Sam "I'm there for her, Dom, now and forever. I love her." I said back to him "What?" Dom looked surprised at my last statement, but I looked at him "I love her, Dom." I said again which made Dom smile. "You really do, don't you? I can see it." Dom said back to me "Hey, I know you can tell if people are lying or not, Dom. I know you better then that." I commented back to him. "But I do and I've told her that too." I added to my statement. "What she say?" Dom asked me very curiously. "She loves me too." I said to him. "Really? She said that?" Dom asked in a shocked way. "Yeah. Why?" I questioned him. now I wanted to know this new information. "Well, I've never heard her say she loved anything, not even her favourite car." Dom said back to me "Why doesn't she like herself? You told me how she never thinks she pretty, sexy or anything?" I asked him.

"I don't know, but I think it might be because of the marks on her back, or she thinks that way because of the fucker who did that to her. Ya, there are physical scars, but there has to be some mental scars too, before she lost her memory." Dom said back to me. "I could punch the person how did it, but if they hadn't, you would have never found her, and she would not be doing this job today." I said as Dom cut me off. "And you would have never go to know her." He finished the sentence off, smirking. "Yeah. I would be still thinking of all the naked girls I could want and have, but with Sam, she make me think just of her, like she is the only girl that matters to me. No one else." I sincerely told him. "You're getting too cheesy for me, Han. Just go over there and take her to bed, SO she can rest that ankle of hers. You hear me? REST!" Dom said to me, pushing me away from him. "She could always just lay there while I do everything else to her." I said joking to him "Oi, no talking about that with me. I don't what to know about it. I don't care what you do, just don't tell me." Dom shouted to me as I just wave my hand up as I walked away. I got up to Sam, putting me arms around her waist. "I think it's time for bed for you." I said in to her ear "Aww, you just want to have some fun." Rome smirked to us. "No, she needs to rest that ankle some more, so it good for tomorrow." I told him before picking her up.

"Han." A voice called out behind me causing me to turned, only to see Vince there. "Not now, Vince." Sam said as she stood between the two of us. "No, Sam, I'm not going to do anything." Vince told her. "Then what?" Sam questioned him. "Han, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have punched you. I just, she means a lot to me ok and I don't want anything to happen to her. I love her like my own sister too. Just like Dom." Vince commented back to me "It's cool, Man. I know you care for her." I said back to him. I walked past Sam over to Vince giving him what Sam would call a man hug thing, "Take good care of her, will you?" Vince told me so only I could hear. "I will, Vince. I will." I said back to him before walking back over to Sam, picking her up again making her laugh and taking her to our room. I gently placed her on the bed. "Sleep, ok? Big day tomorrow. I love you." I told her before kissing her lips then her forehead "I love you too, Han." Sam said to me before rolling onto her side and falling asleep. God, I fell like a lucky man to have her. I moved to my side, putting my arm around her, pulling Sam closer to me. I kissed her shoulder before nuzzling into her to fall asleep at the sound of her soft breathing.
