Letty is getting dressed in her bedroom while Dom unpack. She is getting into her black leggings when Cat walks into the room. She knocks on the open door and Letty turns around to see her.
"Is it safe to come in?"
"Only because the baby weight is slowing me down and I'm already relaxed from my bath this morning."
"I know you're mad at me and Dom but we were just trying to help. Mom misses you so much." She says as she walks in.
"Then she should've told me over the phone."
"She came for you. Come on, she missed your wedding and she wanted to be there to see her grandchild."
"You're always on her side." She says as she puts on her denim styled pull over.
"I'm not choosing sides. You two are the same person. Just as stuborn and prideful."
"I'm not prideful. She never apologized for all the crappy things she said to me."
"Letty she knows that. She just wants to start over with you. She's missed a lot."
"Have you told her about Brian?"
"I told her that Dom had a baby while you guys weren't together."
"You didn't tell her about my first wedding right?"
"You really think I'd throw you under the bus. Just at least give it a try."
"Okay. She can come out with us tomorrow."
"That's a start. Now quit hiding in here and come get breakfast. Mom's making pancakes."
"She's already moving in." She says as they walk out of the room.
"Be nice."

The Next Day at The Baby Store
Letty's P.O.V
We walk into the baby store standing next to each other. ME and my mom haven't had a real talk yet but we've been civil so far. Dom took Brian to the garage today so it's just us girls for the day. I already know he's planning me a surprise party back at the apartment. It sounds weird for me to want to spend my birthday at a baby store but I've been focusing on the baby since I found out I was pregnant. Having my own little girl has me wanting to spoil her. God, this damn hormones are making me more of a girl these days. I walk over to the oneies stands and look through all the cute graphic onesies with stars and "Mommy's Little Rockstar".
"That looks so cute." Cat says to me.
"Don't you want something in pink?"
Here we go. "She already has some pink already. I don't want it to be too girly. She's gonna be just like her mama."
"Shouldn't you get three to six months sizes?"
"Why should I?"
"You were a chunky baby when you came out. She's already a big baby."
"Mom she's only five months in."
"Me and Dom are going to be the ones dressing our daughter. If you guys want to get her something she can wear later, be my guest."
"Let, look at this one." Cat shows me a lilac onesie that has "Daddy's Little Helper" with a wrench and screw driver on it.
"Awwww. Dom will have her in this even if she pukes on it."
"Is he excited for a baby girl?" My mom asks.
"Yeah, he is. He can't wait to drive her around in the back and get her a little toy car."
"Really?" I hear my mom being critical again.
"What do you have to say mom?"
"I just think girls should be playing with dolls and not be around in cars and playing in dirt."
"Dad took me driving with him."
"And look how you turned out."
"Mom, don't be rude."
"It's not the first time she's done it." I say out loud.
"Letcia, we're in public."
"Then let's go outside if you're too embarrassed or ashamed of me."
"I'm not ashamed of you."
"That's not what you said when you threw me out."
"Oh here we go." Cat says.
"You told me that leaving with Dom was going to be the biggest mistake of my life and that I was foolish for following love."
"You were seventeen years old. You try raising two girls with no husband."
"You're the one that left dad. We had no choice. He isn't the one that screwed me up."
"Letty, you have no idea how many times I wished I did more. If I did, then you would've turned out better."
"I'm fully happy with my life right now. I have my husband and my kids and I'm fine with our life in New York."
"How can you love a child that isn't your?"
"You know what, I"M DONE. I'm not gonna stand here while you disrespect me and MY FAMILY. Brian is as much my child as he is Dom's and I chose to be his mother. You can walk back to the apartment and I want you out of my house." I power walk out of the store but as soon as I get to the door, I feel a stabbing pain in my stomach and clutch the door handle. "AAAHH"
"LETTY. What's wrong?" Cat runs to me.
"The baby. God, it feels like I'm being stabbed."
"Mom, call 911."
