So the 2nd trailer just dropped and the music video for "Hey Ma" came out and had the Cuba scenes in there. In story related news, I changed my original set-up of what Daniella would look like. I decided to go with Becky G since she could pose a resemblance to Letty and has that tough free-spirit characteristic in her already. I'm working on a prequel and sequel for this story centered around the family so get ready.
Letty's P.O.V
"So I guess I'll start from the beginning. I met your dad when I was fifteen. I grew up down the street and got into cars when I was ten. I had the biggest crush on him but he never noticed me. It was't until I went to street race that I got his attention. I started coming to his garage and working on cars and we fell in love. We'd been together three years when your dad got into trouble working with this guy from the other side of town. I went with him to go do the job."
"Why?"
"I loved him and I stood by his side. Even if it meant being on the run."
"What happened?"
"I flipped my car and got hurt. Your dad got me out of there and I went to the hospital. By the time I got there, he was already on his way to mexico and I was gonna meet him down there. But when I was admitted, the doctor told me I was pregnant. I didn't know what to do. I was seventeen and your dad was in Mexico in hiding. I knew that if you stayed, they would have taken you away in the hospital and I would never see you again."
"Why didn't you tell dad?"
"Cause I knew what he would do. He would have come back or wanted to keep you and that would have tipped off the cops and they would have taken him and you away. So I made the hardest decision I ever had to make and put you up for adoption."
"If you guys weren't on the run, would you have still kept me?"
There it was. The nail in the heart. I knew she had a better chance at a good life if she wasn't with us. But in my heart, I wished I had taken her with me and we had the chance to raise her together. Tears start filling my eyes and I try to keep it together for her.
"If it was different, I never would have let you out of my arms. I wished that we got to see you take your first steps and walk you to your first day of school. But I know you already have parents that love you and I don't want you to think that I want to replace them."
She walks over to the couch and sits next to me. She takes my hands and looks at me, her face trailed with tears and a weak smile.
"All my life I wanted to know where I came from. I kept asking myself why you left and if you ever cared. But meeting you, I know that you really loved me enough to let me go. I never hated you for that mom. I've wanted to find you for so long and I'm not losing you now."
Hearing her call me mom brings me to tears and gives my heart so much relief. I take her in my arms and hold her tight, not wanting to let her go. She held on to me as if we were being closed by the walls. When I hear her starting to cry, I cradle her head in my shoulder and kiss her forehead. I can't believe I'm holding my daughter in my arms right now. That moment gave me more of the strength to get us out of here. I don't know how but she was going to come out of this alive.
"We're going to get you out of here okay. I promise."
Out of nowhere, we hear the door open. I turn to see two guys dressed in black vests and pants. They didn't have any weapons on them but I can't be sure.
"The boss wants to see you."
He points to me and I can feel Dani tensing up in my arms. What did she want with me? I didn't know if I was about to be tortured or worse, they hurt Dani.
"Mom, don't go."
I pull her face in my hands to look at me. Her eyes are filled with fear, fear of losing me. The same eyes I'd see in Dom whenever I almost died. I wasn't going to let her loose one of us just yet.
"Baby, baby look at me. Nothing is going to happen to me okay. I'm coming back, I promise."
I hug her one more time and during it, I put my pocket knife in her pocket where they could look. She can work her way out of here or fight off and get away from these creepy guys. I stand up and walk towards the door. The two step away to let me by and I walk through the door, not knowing what I'm walking into.
Dom's P.O.V
I kept looking at my ring and couldn't get Letty out of my head. I asked myself how the hell we got into this mess ? We were happy in our own little bubble in Cuba before this all started. I keep thinking about the last good moment we had together, hoping we could go back to that after this.
[Cuba, eight weeks ago]
"You okay?"
It was morning and Letty was laying down on her back while I laid on my side. I propped my arm on my elbow and rested my hand against my hand to look at her. We landed in Cuba yesterday and we spent the night just making love to each other. We had so much lost time to make up for and I wanted to worship every part of her body. She'd just woken up and her body was wrapped around in the sheets from the night before. She turned her face to me with a smile so big I hadn't seen in years.
"Yeah. I just never want to leave this place or this room."
I kiss her softly and she put her hand against my face.
"I need to tell you something."
"Yeah. What is it?"
"You know how I said I remember everything? I don't remember us ever having a talk about one day, maybe starting a family of our own."
It was true. We never had the conversation about kids before. We were so caught up in the mayhem and craziness in our lives. I wanted to start that next part of my life with her, I just didn't know if she wanted them yet.
"I know. What are you thinking?"
"I think that we've lost so much time already. There was so much holding me back before and I don't want to keep waiting to start our life together. I'm not saying I want to get pregnant tomorrow, but I just wanna know if it's something you'd want."
"Do you remembered when I told you about that dream of you and me in Mexico?"
"Yeah. We already did that."
"That wasn't the dream. It was you and me were walking on the beach and holding this baby girl's hands in between us. Teaching her how to walk and our feet sinking in the sand. She looked just like you."
"She did?"
"Yeah. She had your brown hair and these eyes that were so dark with a little bit of light shining when you look at them. So to answer your question. If one day we do have kids, it'll be the second best day of my life."
"What's the first?"
"Marrying you."
She laughed and kissed me. I cradle her in my arms as I pull her leg up against my waist. I pull her close to me, her now laying on her side. She moaned when she felt my hard-on pressing against her stomach. I start kissing her neck and she presses her hand on the back of my neck, showing she wanted more. I felt her pull away for a quick second and looked at me with a little smirk.
"You do know the first one's gonna be a boy?"
"Really?"
"Really."
"How many?"
"Maybe three."
"I was thinking four. Two boys, two girls?"
"I think I'm good with four. But I'm not popping out twins or else we are never having sex again."
I laugh a little and turn us over to her side of the bed, me being on top of her.
"You got it. Well if we're gonna have four babies, we should probably practice first."
"I think you're right."
She pulls me down to her as I kiss her, pressing our chests against each other. We never wanted this moment to end.
We didn't think that would be the night we got pregnant. we thought that we could finally have that moment and stay there forever. I was tearing my family apart before my own eyes. I should be upset about Letty not telling me about ever having a baby. We could've gone through it together and could've gone to Rio like we thought about and raise our family. But I understand why she did it. Our lives were too dangerous to have kid around. I feel guilty for putting her in a place where she had to make a choice on her own. I think back to before, to what she was gonna say in the garage. She said something about what happened after the crash and she was about to finish when we were interrupted. She was going to tell me about Dani. I needed to get my family back and the only way I could was to get them out of here.
"You know some guys would be pretty pissed if they had a kid they never knew about?"
I hear her voice and my face turns grey and full of anger. I turn around to see her standing by the window, taunting at my emotions.
"You really haven't gotten out your anger out or confronted her."
Hearing her talk about Letty made me sick in my mom. She's been threatening to kill her and my family, using them to force me to do her bidding.
"Don't you dare talk about her."
"Fine, you can talk to her yourself."
The door slides open and my eyes are in shock as Letty walks into the room. How did she get her here? Why does she have her? I don't what she planned on doing to her but all I could think about in this moment was the hurt in my wife's eyes. The dried up tears down her face says it all. I've put her through hell before but this is probably the worst I've done to her. I turned my back on her, on our son or daughter that was growing inside her. What if something was wrong with the baby? I don't how she's feeling right now but I know she would want to punch in the face right now.
"I'll leave you two alone."
She walks out of the room and her men follow behind her. The moment those doors closed, my eyes went straight to Letty. The tension in the room is high and we just stare at each other for a minute and it felt like hours had passed. She starts walking towards me slowly and I follow.
"Letty, I-"
I suddenly feel the slap of her hand against my face.
Next: Confentation
