Letty's POV
No One Hurts What's Mine
Let's get one damn thing straight, I got off of that hoe for my kids. I didn't want them to have to talk to me through a prison phone for the rest of their lives, but had it not been for them I would have killed that piece of shit. How dare she talk to me like that, I wish I could run her over with my car.
"Letty, baby are you okay?" Dom asked as soon as I got out of the truck.
"Yeah, help me get your kids out of the car." I said, I was so on edge I didn't want anyone to tell me anything right then.
"Letty, I know now might not be a good time but can we talk?" Hector said, I had no idea what he was doing there but I handed Bentley to Jesse and walked over to his car.
"What's up esse?" I asked
"Listen Lett, I heard Tran and his boy's before the fight, they're after your kids Letty. I know the feeling you get when it comes to your kids and I want you to be on your guard, I know you can't go with them everywhere, but I want you to know what your up against." He explained I took the information in and tried to remain calm. He was speaking Spanish knowing that it would be harder for Dom to pick up on the whole conversation.
"Gracias esse, I really appreciate you looking out homes. Are you on your way to pick up Maria?" I asked in Spanish, Maria was Hectors daughter, she had grown up at the races but when her mother came back in town she insisted that Maria stay away from them. She really just wanted to keep Hector away from his daughter, but she wasn't really succeeding though because Hector picked her up after every race and took her home with him, he was a really great dad.
"Yeah, her Ama is gonna run me into the ground though, she wants to take Maria to San Juan with her, but I ain't having it girl, you know I can't have her taking mi ija all the way across the state."
Hector said goodnight after that and drove off. I turned and walked into my house. Everyone was sitting around the living room waiting for me to come in. I sat down in the huge armchair with Dom.
"Hector heard Tran saying that he's coming after the kids to punish me for embarrassing his girl in the race and kicking her ass afterword." At my words the room went still, even Dom tensed beside me
"They won't ever get close enough to even try." Mia said she was sitting on the couch leaning against Vince, it was odd but those two had been growing more and more touchy since Dom had come home. Brian had been dating a little since then, it was obvious that Mia just loved him as a friend.
"I have a few buddies who hang on that side of town, they're real shady dudes but they could get rid of Tran for once and for all if ya know what I mean." Leon offered
"No, we have to handle this the right way, I'm not gonna fuck around when it comes to my children, I know how Tran get's and I'm not gonna let them get caught in this." Dom said
"Well I could always call in a favor down at PD, they've been on the Tran's ass's for awhile, maybe they can put a few officers on the kids, or at least get someone inside Tran's operation, that way if anything goes down you would know that the twins would be safe." Brian offered
"I like the way that sounds." Jesse said, it was the first thing he'd said since we got home.
"What are you talking about Jesse, man the cops ain't never did nothing good for nobody man. Even Brian tried to sell us out man." Vince said
"I know that man, but seriously man Tran is dangerous, you may not remember, but I haven't forgotten the two bullet wounds he put in my chest. If we can at least get someone watching him it would make our lives a little easier than if we just took him on our selves, Johnny doesn't play fair man and I don't wanna watch my family run into a bullet wall, and I'm sure as hell not explaining to those two kids why their parents at there to talk to them or to take them to races or to throw them birthday parties and that shit, I'm not doing it man." Jesse was shaking like a leaf in a rain storm.
I agreed though, I really did think that it was one of those things that we couldn't do on our own, there was just way to much at stake for them this time. We had to think about what Johnny was capable of and the truth of the matter is that he was one of the craziest rich Asian kids you would ever meet.
"Brian, see what you can do man, if the cops can help us then we do let them. In the mean time, they don't leave our sight, and that means we go everywhere, if Cede walks five feet one of us is right next to her, and if Bent wants to get a toy from the truck someone goes with him." Dom said, his voice was hard and I could tell that although every one stood up and walked off toward their own respective rooms, the conversation between him and I was far from over. I walked into our bathroom and jumped into the shower trying to wash away the horrible feeling that had settled around me. I loved being back at the races tonight, it was where I belonged, but I really wished I hadn't hit that tramp, I had given Johnny and his twerp friends a reason to hurt my kids.
"We need to talk babe." Dom said coming into the bathroom
"I know that, but before you say any thing, I wanna say that I'm really sorry." I said
"You understand that although you were trying to make them stay away you realize that you may have given them a good reason to come after our kids." He said
"I know that, but I had to do it." I said
"You are incredible Letty!" He shouted, he was angry, "You are willing to do whatever to shut someone up even if it means letting people hurt those around you."
"I said I was sorry, you think I don't feel bad, I'm there mother, but you know something Dom, no one messes whit what's mine." I said defending my self as I dried my body and got dressed
"You know what, you're still so reckless, I blame you if anything ever happens to my kids!" He screamed
"Your kids, since when are they yours, last I checked they were ours Dom as in both of ours! And I'm not responsible for all of this, but I am trying to fix it Dom. You know nothing about sacrificing a thrill to protect those around you. You left Leon to come see if I was alright after I flipped my car at the last heist, and then you ran off to Mexico leaving me hear to fend for myself, I ended up almost dying. Are you serious with that Dom, do you wanna play that card on me." I shouted
"Fuck you Letty." He shouted at me
"That's all you had to say." I replied softly and left the room.
Dom looked like he was going to run after me but I knew that he wouldn't I had to go I really did. I was not going to break down crying in this house not a chance.
I ran down the stairs and jumped in my car taking off. When I got to the beach I did the one thing I could think of, I took my shirt off first and then my pants and dove in. I felt the cold water cover my skin as I swam out towards the buoy. Half way there I thought I could hear Mia calling to me, and Leon telling me to stop running away but I kept swimming. Then I felt it the large hand wrap around my ankle and pull me back. It was Leon
"What the hell are you doing man?" He asked me
"Swimming." I answered simply
"He meant why are you here and not home in bed with your fiancé or watching out for your kids." Mia asked swimming up behind him
"Dominic made it pretty clear that we're done and that they're his kids so really I have no business there." I managed before the tears started to spill from my eyes.
"Dom was angry Lett, he's said worse stuff before, why are you taking this so seriously he asked, he was steering us back towards the beach so that we wouldn't have to tread water.
"Because, you didn't see his face Le, he hates me for putting us in this situation and he wants me gone!" I sobbed as we finally made it on to the sand we all lay there letting the waves wash over us.
"That's not true!" Mia said "He's angry and he's scared, those two emotions never did a good thing for him, remember Linder?"
"Well this time he wants to beat me with the wrench." I said sadly
"Lett, Dom was in his room sobbing when you left, that's why we came to get you, it's not like the other times where you can just go home in a week or two and find him waiting for you. He'll go crazy girl."
"I'm sorry, I keep messing up lately, it's just I want them to know better than I did growing up, I want my kids to feel like I'm gonna protect them and that I love them, I don't want them to have to fight for themselves like I did." I said tears forming now
"Look we all have mixed emotions about this whole situation right now, we need to hope and pray that things go better, and that we can get this whole crazy situation fixed." Leon whispered
"Yeah and the house is gonna get more crowded soon which means that we're gonna need to sort this out fast." Mia added
I looked at her puzzled
"What do you mean more crowded?"
"Well I'm kinda pregnant Lett." Mia sighed
"What! Dom is gonna kill Brian when he finds out." I screamed out loud
"No, he won't kill Brian, because it's Vince's baby." Mia whispered
"You slept with Vince?" Leon laughed
"Yeah, we've been kind of together for almost two months now, he's changed a lot since the heists, and I know that he could handle a baby. If you and Dominic can have twins then Vince and I can handle a baby." Mia sounded so sure of her self, it was like she was saying that I was a good mom or something.
We talked on the beach for hours, I told them about how scared I was that Dom would hate me if something happened to the twins, and Mia talked about her and Vince's secret relationship. It was actually a good night. We left the beach when we saw the sun coming up and I drove home with Mia so that she could give me the details about the relationship between her and Vince. It was actually a really strong foundation for something real, Mia was happy about being with him and she actually seemed excited for her baby.
When I pulled up to the house it was really quiet, I saw all the cars in the driveway and on the street and I knew that no one was up yet. I headed inside and up the stairs to my room. I expected to find Dom laying in bed, but instead he was in the rocking chair in the corner of the room with both Cede and Bent's baby blankets on his lap, he looked so sad and tired at that moment. Normally when Dom slept he looked peaceful, tonight he just looked so frustrated. I nudged him awake softly.
"Dom, baby it's me." I whispered
"Letty?" He asked
"Yeah babe it's me, te quierro." I said pulling him out of the chair
"Where did you go?" He asked, his voice was so dry.
"I went to the beach, I needed to think about some things Dom. You were right, I messed up and I put our kids in danger, and if something happens to them and you wanna blame me I will totally understand, but I love you Dominic, I know I don't always say it and sometimes I do things that make you doubt me, but I really do love you. And right now what I need to know is if you still love me?" I poured my self out to him
"Of course I still love you, I blamed you and I shouldn't have, I let Tran's threat shake me up." He said wrapping me in his arms, and just like that it was all okay again all fine it was all back to the perfect little unit.
We talked about Tran's threats for the rest of the night knowing that although most of the time he is just talk, this time he seemed to mean everything that he'd said. I was worried that the blonde skank would egg him on into something that he would never have done normally, and Dom seemed to think that the whole situation might just be Johnny's idea to get a few extra bucks out of the Toretto team.
Johnny's team had been on a loosing streak for the past year and a half, and word around the races was that his endless train of money might have hit a dead spot. Dom thought that it might be possible that Johnny thought that kidnapping the kids for ransom would be a good way to up his cash flow a bit, that idea scared me most of all.
