Author's Note: One of the requests left in review. Letty finds out she is pregnant.

A Surprise

Not that she would have told anyone, but it was her boobs that first made her suspicious. She wasn't puking her brains out in the toilet every morning or feeling overly fatigued. But she was feeling different. Like her body wasn't really her own. And she started noticing the weight she was gaining despite any changes in her level of activity or eating habits.

At first she'd just wondered if it was a side-effect of getting older, but she'd quickly dismissed it. Her mother still had a great body, despite treating it like shit, after all. She was also certain Dom had noticed, and he confirmed that one night lying in bed when he asked if her boobs had gotten bigger. She'd punched him in the shoulder and rolled over, but it had stuck in her mind. He'd notice, after all. He spent a lot of time looking at them.

So this afternoon she'd cut out of the garage early, stopped by the drug store before heading home. She was in the bathroom, t-shirt pulled up, examining her belly in the mirror. Turning sideways, frowning and tilting her head. Maybe she was just imagining things.

Well, only one way to know for certain. Eyeing the test in disdain she read the instructions twice before taking it. She used both in the package, just in case, and let them sit while she waited the required five minutes. She paced from the bathroom into the bedroom and back again, checked the time on her cellphone before wandering back into the bedroom and flopping face down into the mattress.

She let out a long breath, trying to relax and not think too hard about it. After all, there was no guarantee she even was. And even if she was, then what was the problem? She was married to a man she loved. A man she'd been with for half her life. She knew he wanted kids, even though they hadn't really formally talked about it. And maybe it wasn't ideal that it was happening only about six months after they'd been married. But it wasn't like they'd had to get used to living together, or find out all the new unpleasant things that many newlyweds had to. They already knew each other's bad habits and dark secrets. Every skeleton in the closet.

She laid there until she heard the sound of a car engine and then the front door opening. Heavy footsteps on the stairs. She lifted her head slightly as the door creaked open. The bed sagged under the weight as Dom sat down at the foot, easing off his boots.

"You okay?"

"Fine," she mumbled, pushing herself to sit up.

He leaned over to kiss her and then smiled, standing and tugging shirt off over his head. Dropping it to the floor he crossed to the bathroom. She watched him disappear through the doorway only to come back out a few minutes later, holding one of the tests in his hand.

"Do you have something to tell me?"

"I don't know. Do I?"

"I think so," he said, passing her the test with a digital Positive reading on the end.

"Surprise?" she ventured weakly, staring at it as if the results might change.

Dom laughed, sitting beside her. "Good surprise?"

"Yeah…" she began. "Yeah. I think so. Do you?"

"Of course!"

She smiled and then laughed when he stood, scooping her up into his arms and kissing her. She wrapped her arms around his shoulders, grinning against his lips.

"So," he murmured, drawing back. "A baby."

"Yeah," she sighed, laying her head against his shoulder. "We never talked about it, really."

"I guess not," he agreed. "You a little freaked out here, Mami?"

She chuckled, slapping at his back. "More than a little. I mean… I never really pictured myself as a mom."

"There's never been anything you couldn't do if you set your mind to it."

She grinned, nuzzling at his ear. "Careful. You'll feed my ego."

"That's my job. The next few months. To build your Mami ego."

Letty smirked. "Is that right?"

"Mmm hmm. So by the time this baby comes you're totally confident that you'll be a great Mom."

Flushing slightly, she buried her face against his shoulder. "You're such a fucking sap."

"Hey cut me a break here." He laughed, squeezing her hips. "I think I'm allowed to be a little bit sappy about my first child."

"Okay, okay." She relented, feeling happy. "But unless you feel like celebrating up against a wall would you mind putting me down?"

He did set her down, though on the bed, laying her back before leaning down to kiss her slowly. He grinned then suddenly, his gaze dropping to her chest.

"I knew your boobs were bigger."
