A/N: Guys the Reviews have been great, and a lot of you are givin me food for thought. i wanna say thanks to every one who is reading this story, it means a lot to me that you guys are reading and taking the time to review.
To JR: you made a pretty damn good point in the fact that most 2 year olds can't communicate the way that Bent and Cede do in the story, i really never thought of it before so thanks for bringing it up. Also i know that Letty and Dom are being wild, but theres a purpose for that one, i have this idea and i need them to kinda be wild and lenient with their kids so that when certain events take place they question their "fast and furious" life style :) but i was glad you called me on it!
To anyone who's wondering why they aren't married yet: I have no idea, i keep throwing all sorts of stuff in from ideas i get, but i just haven't sat my but down and worked on a wedding yet. It's comming i promise, i just don't know how i wanna do it, but if you've got an idea, let me know, i'd love to hear it!
Letty's POV
Moving Forward
The next two and a half weeks came with a lot of Drama. I threw all the energy I had into two things, the first was being a better mother. This meant that the kids weren't at the races as much as they would have liked, and Dom and I tried to bump up our safety a bit after the Johnny scare, meaning no more racing with the kids in the car, and no more crazy parties at the house. The second thing that had consumed my attention was the wedding that I had put on the back burner. Dom and I had been engaged for so long it was ridiculous, but according to Mia, it took him over 8 years to propose so a near three year engagement wasn't that far off for us. Mia had been working on the perfect wedding for years, but Dom and I took forever and a day to pick a date so some of the major details were lost.
"Letty! You cannot have bridesmaids in leather dresses! That's not even funny as a joke!" Mia shouted while the guys and I cracked up at my suggestion to have a couple of the racer skanks be bridesmaids and wear their own leather dresses.
"I think it's fucking hilarious, don't you Le? I mean, couldn't you just see it? Monica and one of the Tran skanks strutting down the isle fighting over who got to stand closest to Dom!" I cracked up.
"Yeah! Then we could give Bent a Mohawk and let Cede wear some leather boots or something! It would be so hilarious!" Jesse piped in.
"Yeah Mi, you could dress trashy and be the skank leader!" Vince laughed but shut up quickly after a warning look from Mia.
"I honestly don't give a fuck what the Bride girls wear, as long as they don't look like they just walked off a pole." Dom said
"They're called Bridesmaids Dominic, and Letty needs to pick a dress now!" Mia shouted above the laughter waving another dress catalogue in front of my face.
I took the book and placed it down in front of me, laughing a little every time I looked up at one of the guys.
Most of them were tacky, and even a little skanky, but one caught my eye, it was a simple red dress that fell just above the knee and pinched at the waist before hanging loose.
"This one!" I exclaimed jumping up off my chair and showing it to Mia who surveyed it carefully.
"It's pretty, but are you sure, you haven't even looked through the other 12 books yet." Mia said
"I like this one Mia, and I don't wanna see the other 12, order 4 of those please." I said
"4?" Dom asked turning his head away from the TV.
"Yeah, one for Mia, two for your cousins Blair and Camille, and one for my step sister Maria." I said
"Your step sister is gonna be in the wedding?" Dom asked confused. He knew how much my family and I hated each other, but he'd never heard me speak ill of any one the way I did of Maria, she was the Satan's spawn that had ruined my parents marriage and my whole family.
"My mother asked me to let her, she said that we were sisters and I should make her my maid of honor, when I told her that I already had one, she insisted that Maria at least be a bridesmaid." I explained
"And you just agreed to it, you didn't even try to fight her?" Dom asked
"Nope, even Maria won't ruin my wedding, plus she might be of some help, after all she's been married what, 4 times?" I laughed
"I guess." Dom said
He turned back to his movie and beer, and Mia and I returned to her planning book. She made the call for the dresses and put them on an express order so that we could pick them up by the end of the week. Then we worked on dishes, or as Mia put it "china" I went with red plates that were rimmed in gold and matched the color of the wedding.
Finally after hours at the kitchen counter, I was allowed to go to bed, while Mia initiated the hunt for my wedding dress.
I climbed the stairs slowly and began to head to my room. Quickly I turned around sensing that something was off, and walked towards the kids room. I opened the door a crack and smiled at what I saw. Sitting on the floor in between the two beds was Dom.
"Can you sing to us like mama does daddy?" Cede asked him
"I don't think so baby, didn't your mama ever tell you? She's the only singer in this bunch." Dom said reaching over to smooth her curls.
"But mama sings to us every night." Bent said
"Mama is working on the wedding guys." Dom tried
"Can we help?" Cede asked
"No, it's time for you guys to sleep, that means no talking, and eyes closed." Dom said
"We can't sleep unless mama sings us our song or we hear a story." Cede said stubbornly, I chuckled, she was really determined to get her way.
"Okay what story do you wanna hear?" Dom said giving in to her Bambi eyes
"I wanna hear the story about you and mama, the one from when you were younger, the one with Grandpa" Cede said and Dom complied
"Okay, your mama worked in my papa's garage, that's your Grandpa. He loved to teach her about cars, sometimes I think he taught her more than me, because she always used to listen to him. Me and uncle Vince used to work there too, and we helped my papa build a really cool car. You know my charger?"
They nodded.
"Well that used to be my papa's car. He built it and made it look real cool and go really fast too. When he would race, it would do a quarter mile in 9.8 seconds, that's really fast. When me and your mama were in high school, my papa had started to race, and so he would take me and uncle Vince to the track, and your mama was so stubborn she insisted that she tag along. She was always really pretty, and she loved to be around cars, they made her smile, so when your mama turned 16, your daddy decided that he loved her. So I got her a car, and I decked it out with everything I could find, it was beautiful. And when your mama saw it, she was so happy! She jumped up and hugged me so tight, and then she told me she loved me, and I said I loved her, and then we lived happily ever something or other." He said
I fought to cover my laughter, his story was pretty random, it bounced from one place to another, and the details changed all the time depending on when he told it. It was Cede's favorite story, she loved it.
I watched as he kissed them both goodnight and shut off the light. He opened the door and let out a low chuckle.
"How long have you been there?" He asked
"Long enough to hear your version of our childhood romance." I joked
"I have no idea why she likes that story so much." He said as we walked toward our room.
"She's a helpless romantic, I blame Mia." I joked
"That would be way funnier if I could see her growing up all girly, it's almost scary how much like you she is." He replied
"I hate to say it, but I worry that she'll end up like me, I mean we pulled some crazy shit. People think we're crazy now, and we've mellowed out a lot, on a scale of one to ten the way we live right now is a three compared to before." I said as I cuddled up next to him
"If she's half the woman you are I'll be happy, and if Bent turns out like me, well we'll get to that one later." He laughed, "I can't wait till Mia has children
"Careful what you wish for." I whispered softly as I drifted to sleep. He was in for a big surprise.
