A/N: Okay, to those of you who have already read this, I just had to edit it and add a few things in! Sorry for all of the delays, I am studying like mad for exams right now but I will be finishing them of course and updating as soon as I can!
Letty POV
"Daddy?" Bella asked softly
"Yeah baby?"
"Can you stay home tonight maybe?"
I immediately tensed at her words and Dom did too, I could feel it under his grasp that he had on my hand.
"Yeah baby, I will be home a lot more now" Dom said calmly but I knew that hurt him, Bella wasn't trying to hurt him but I know that hearing that was like a stab in the heart.
"Then maybe you can start being happier too mommy" Sophia added
"Why would you think mommy was sad?"
"You just look sad all the time and that makes us sad, and then you don't want to play with us" Sophia said sadly.
'Great' I thought. 'Now we've hurt our kids and that was the worst part'
"I promise momm-"
"Daddys sorry girls" Dom interrupted me, and I looked at him.
"Daddy has been the one making mommy sad, and I am sorry"
"It's okay, daddy. We just want you and mommy happy again" I tried to not let it show but I started to tear up and couldn't help the rebellious tear fall down my cheek. Dom saw and reached over and gently wiped it away.
We pulled up to the house and got the kids out and made our way into the kitchen to start dinner.
"Mac and Cheese!"
"No! Spaghetti!"
"NO! Mac and Cheese!"
"Spaghetti!"
"No Sophia, it's gross"
"No it isn't, you're gross"
"No! You are. Mom!"
"Don't be a tattle tale"
"Shut up!"
"Bella, do not tell your sister to shut up" I said annoyed
"She started it"
"And I'm ending it, go to your room"
"But, she-"
"No buts, go." She stomped off.
"Do not stomp in this house Isabella" And Sophia stuck her tongue out teasingly at her sister getting into trouble.
"And you, you do not call your sister gross and stick your tongue out at her. You get into your room now too."
"No, mommy!"
"Sophia" She huffed and crossed her arms and stuck her tongue out at me and I grabbed it between my index and middle finger holding it out.
"Enough with this, you better stop with this attitude, missy."
"Ine" She tried mumbling 'fine' but had difficulty with my fingers holding her tongue.
"Upstairs. Now." She pouted and made her way up the stairs.
Just then Noah started crying and it just made me angry.
"Fuck sakes, now what" I groaned turning around seeing Dom holding Noah
"Sorry, I just uh, he's hungry" Dom said.
"Can you just give him a bottle that's in the fridge, I'm in no mood right now to fight with him on breast feeding today"
"Yeah, sure" Dom said grabbing a bottle and heating it up in the microwave with Noah on his hip. I made my way to the sink and put my hands on either side of it letting my head fall in stress and exhaustion.
I felt Dom reach one hand around my waist in an attempt to turn me around and I did. Neither one of us said anything so I looked up at him with a worn out look in my eyes.
"We're gonna get through this you know"
"How are you so forgiving? Why are you being nice to me right now? I cheated Dom, I fucked up I get it ok, just yell at me please and get it over with"
"I don't want to yell, Letty. Did you not hear those girls in the car?" Dom said reaching beside me and pulling the bottle out and testing the temperature on his wrist before giving it to a fussy Noah.
"I don't want them thinking that we make eachother sad Let, or that we don't love eachother or that I'm leaving them. I'm pissed off Letty, I'm hurt but yelling isn't going to help right now no matter how much I want to yell at you."
"Just tell me, Dom. I'm big enough to handle whatever it is you want to throw at me, I've been on the receiving end before so just do it"
"No, Letty"
"Dom! Just fucking yell at me, that's how we deal with things, you yell I yell we fuck we makeup and we're fine!" I was so stressed out that my emotions were everywhere at this point.
"You think that's what's going to solve this! We fuck? Jesus Christ Letty, I didn't think you'd ever be that stupid." He shouted putting Noah in his Play Pen in the living room.
"Don't you dare call me stupid"
"Well what do you expect? You cheated Letty plain and simple and you think that if we fuck that's going to make it better? You want me to treat you like some cheap whore! Is that what you want?"
"Fuck you, don't fucking call me a cheap whore, how dare you say that, you're just a bad, Toretto"
"You want to sit here and act like a bitch go ahead, I'm going to make food for my kids"
"OUR kids, don't fucking act like I am not their mother and that I am irrelevant and acting like I mean nothing"
"Telling me to fuck you so I'm not pissed at you? That's pretty fucking low Letty, even for you. I didn't think you'd ever be one of those girls"
"One of what girls, Dominic? Enlighten me"
"An easy, weak, no respect for herself, slut of a girl who uses her body to get out of a situation" That was it that was my breaking point, never in my life did I think he would say that to me. Maybe call me a bitch and to fuck off which wasn't the best but that was way better than what he just said.
"Are you kidding me? How dare you ever say that to me? I am their mother, I am the mother of YOUR children, Dominic!"
"Yeah some mother" He spat
"Fuck you" I said grabbing Noah and my keys slamming the door on the way out.
"Daddy?" Sophia and Bella said softly coming down the stairs as Dom sat on the chair with his head in his hands. He said nothing and Sophia reached out and lightly touched his arm with her small hand.
"Hi babies" He said looking up at his daughters with tears in his eyes.
"Where's mommy?"
"She had to go out, she will be back in a bit ok?"
"Why are you and mommy sad with each other?"
"It's grown up stuff, hunny."
"Is mommy going to leave us now?"
"Does mommy hate us? Was it because Bella and I we're fighting?"
"Tell her we're sorry, we didn't mean to make her leave"
"No angels, never. Listen to me, you have the best mommy in the entire world, who loves you both very very much. It was not you girls at all, sometimes mommys and daddys don't always agree on everything and grown ups get mad"
"Ok, daddy." Bella said not quite convinced.
"What happens when you and your sister fight?"
"We get sad and don't talk" Sophia said
"Right, but you still love each other right?"
"Yes, shes my sister I love her more than anything, daddy!"
"Yeah, shes my best friend, I love her a lot!" Sophia said holding her big sisters hand tightly. Just like Letty and Mia used to do when they were kids making him smile.
"Exactly, just like me and mommy, we might get upset, but I love your mommy just as much as I love you, and mommy loves me so much too."
"So, you and mommy will be happy again?"
"Of course baby girl, I love mommy too much"
"Okay, daddy"
"Promise me something girls"
"Ok"
"I hope you didn't hear what daddy said to mommy"
"Not really, we just heard yelling"
"Always remember that no boy is EVER allowed to talk down to you, ok? Never let a boy call you a bad name or else he is not a man."
"Daddy?"
"Yeah?"
"Did you call mommy a bad name?" Sophia asked holding his hand. He looked down not wanting to face his daughters.
"Yeah, I did, and it was very very wrong of me."
"We forgive you, daddy" Bella said hugging me tightly. I never asked for it, and the kindness of my daughters was all Letty. Although; some people may laugh at that; it was true. Letty was a hard ass and stubborn as hell, but she truly had a heart of gold. She would honestly do anything to make sure our kids were happy and did what she could to make sure everyone else was ok first, she never showed people her emotions for the simple reason being she didn't want anyone to think she was incapable of taking care of them when they needed it.
"Thank you, babies." I said pulling them both in tightly for a hug.
"Love you, daddy" The said in unison.
"I love you girls more, you've made mommy and daddy so happy." They pulled away and kissed my cheek and smiled, I knew that smile. It was the same smile Letty wore when she wanted something.
"What?" I said hesitantly
"We're hungry" Sophia said holding her big sisters hand again, they were joined at the hip and I hoped they always would be.
Back with Letty
I was driving around LA with no destination in mind, I was upset and hurt but I can't blame him for being upset. I can blame him for what he said though, I wanted him to yell at me and get it over with which was childish I know but I didn't expect him to go as far as calling me a whore and a bad mother, that was crossing the line. I didn't show my feelings much and that was my fault and my own insecurities but that just wasn't like me to sit down and talk nicely about what was bothering me, I wasn't a stepford housewife so yelling was the easiest that way I didn't have to sit down and talk to him face to face. I could talk to the therapist, because I didn't know her and she was as gentle as a butterfly so I would've been rough in her eyes no matter what I may have said so I didn't care as much.
Noah was making cooing sounds in the back seat making me smile, my kids were my life and although I was hurt, Dom was too. I could do this without him, I know that. I am very independent, but that wasn't the point. I could do a lot of things without his help, I just didn't ever want to. Dom and I had a love like no other.
We can live without each other, we just don't ever want to have to. We are both hard headed and stubborn as hell, but he makes me smile, and laugh, he's a great father, and I still feel something that I have never felt with anyone else, I can't describe it, and to me that was special. That was the reason why I agreed to marry him, why I was able to have kids with not much fear, he builds the confidence in me that I never knew that I lacked. I mean let's face it, I have a huge ego and so does Dom, but he sees through that and knows what I worry about and what I don't like about myself and he lifts me out of that. I pulled up to the intersection and came to a stop and looked around for cars. I saw it was clear and proceeded onto the next road.
Dom POV
"Daddy Stop!" Bella laughed as I tickled her and Sophia jumped on my back, I played with my daughters happily waiting for Letty to come home so I could apologize and hold her again, I crossed a line tonight by saying that to her, it wasn't even true, and knowing that someone could possibly talk to one of my daughters that way or if my son thought he could talk to a woman like that made me sick to my stomach. I heard the phone ring and lifted Bella and Sophia up tossing them on the couch as I answered the phone.
"Hello?"
"Yes, hi I am looking for Dominic Toretto?" I started to get worried because of my past and my enemies but tried to keep my cool around my kids.
"Yeah, this is him"
"Hi, Mr. Toretto, my name is Melissa and I am calling from Cedars Sinai." I felt my heart drop in an instant
"What's wrong?"
"We have your wife and son here, there was a bad accident and we called to inform you that your wife is about to undergo surgery and we need you here"
"What is happening?" I asked with panic
"I think it would be best to talk in person"
"I'll be right there" I said hanging up the phone with my shaky hands.
"Daddy?"
"Girls go to your room please now" I cracked out, they could tell by my tone something was wrong but thankfully didn't question it and went upstairs. I picked up the phone and called Brian because I didn't want to worry Mia right now.
"Brian?"
"Hey man, whats goi-"
"Get here now, alone"
"Whats wr-"
"Please don't ask just get here"
5 minutes later Brian ran in, "Man whats up?"
"Letty and Noah were in an accident going to hospital don't tell the girls" I said running out the door speeding to the hospital.
"Please god, let them be ok, don't take them from me. Please I am begging you" I said to myself in the car as I weaved through traffic. I pulled up to the hospital and quickly ran into the front desk.
"Leticia and Noah Toretto" I said with a panic, the young woman noticed and didn't waste any time asking silly questions of who I was or anything and I appreciated that.
"Uhm, it looks like Mrs. Toretto is on the 4th floor preparing for surgery and Noah Toretto is on the maternity ward, floor 3." I ran up to the third floor first and met an older woman at the desk.
"My son was brought in Noah Toretto"
"Yes, he is in the cribs, and he is ok Mr. Toretto. Your son has a few scratches and the doctor has checked him over for any head injuries, but your son is fine. He was securely fastened in his car-seat." She told me giving me a soft smile.
"I have to go check on my wife and I will be back" I assured her and ran up to the fourth floor as I opened the door I saw a bloodied Letty being wheeled out on a gurney quickly.
"She was hemorrhaging we need to get her in now" A nurse shouted pushing past me.
"Letty!" I said running after them as they wheeled her away. I could see blood on her face and dried tear stains on her face.
They pushed past the doors and I tried to follow them in but was held back by a nurse.
"Letty! Wake up baby!" Please let me see her!" I cried
I pushed past the nurse and ran to her, "I'm sorry baby, I'm so so sorry I should've been there, I forgive you don't leave me baby, don't leave our kids. C'mon Letty. It's you and me forever babe. Wake up, please Letty!"
"Sir, you have to get out now!"
"I love you Letty, I will always love you." I shouted to her before being pulled out by two woman. I wouldn't hurt a woman so I did as they forcibly told me to. I got out as they started performing surgery on my wife.
I slouched down to the floor crying yet again with my head in my hands.
"Don't take her from me, God. I will do anything, just don't take her from us."
