Hey guy's! In replies to the reviews (Which I LOVE!) Letty and Derrick are divorced and Letty has a restraining order against him for her as well as Santiago. This is all based off of a friend of mine (Who knows I am writing this) Trinik YOU need to write something cause I love your ideas and you'd make one hell of a story! Alright here we go!

Letty leaned against the door frame quietly watching as Santiago played with his action figures in his room. He held superman in one hand and the joker in the other, he smashed the two together his little face twisted with concentration.

"What's your real name Superman! My names Dom and I'm here to kick your butt" He mimicked slamming them together once more. Letty couldn't help but feel her chest constrict as he played along pretending Dom was his superman action figure. She didn't want to have this conversation, have him relieve his horrific experience once again but she had to. In order for justice to be served her baby boy had to go point out those monsters. He had to be brave. She sighed heavily pushing the door open wider and sat down beside Santi on the floor.

"Hi mami"

"How's my baby?"

Santi looked up almost confused, he wasn't a baby but why did mommy even like him anymore? He was broken.

"Okay"

Letty held her arms out to him and he flinched back, touching was bad what if Mami thought he was touching her like he did those ladies. He couldn't make mami hate him more.

"Come here please miho I want to talk to you, it's very important."

Santi eyed her nervously before shuffling into her lap, Letty held him tight as his head laid against her chest. He felt so small even though he acted almost twice his age.

"Remember how Mami promised the police were going to catch the people who hurt you and lock then away?"

Santi nodded feeling his tummy start to turn inside him.

"Well in order for them to know who hurt you we have to go point them out at the police station" Letty murmured quietly brushing his hair from his face. She felt him tense against her as his eyes began to water. He shook his head and roughly pulled from her embrace.

"No"

"Santi baby we have to"

"No Mami no"

"It's the only way to make sure they get locked away baby" Letty sighed standing up to walk towards him. Santi ran to the other side of the room eyes wide with fear.

"I can't!" He screamed tears pouring down his cheeks. "They'll tell you what I did Mami and you'll hate me more and make me go away!"

Letty gasped at her son's words, she could never hate him. Pain flashed through her as all the signs came together, he thought she blamed him for everything. That's why he'd become so distance, why he wouldn't let anyone touch him.

"Baby I don't hate you"

"I touched them Mami you told me that's bad I did! And I let Papa hurt you!" He sobbed uncontrollably his little knees shaking to the point where he could barely hold himself up. Letty crossed the room tears streaming down her cheeks to pull him into her arms. They sat on his bed as she rocked him gently just like she had when he was just a baby. His head pressed against her chest and his legs curled into her lap. It was almost an hour before his cries came to a slow stop, he looked up and Mami was still awake peering down at him. Her eyes red and blotchy to match his own.

"I'm sorry" He mumbled against her chest. Letty tilted his chin so his gaze met her own, she had to make him understand.

"Santi I love you more then anything in this very world, none of this was your fault. The adults made you do those things baby and Mami knows that. Sometimes bad people do things to people who don't deserve it and then it's the police man's job to find them and make them pay for it. So we have to go down and tell the police so they can lock them away so that they don't hurt anyone anymore. I know your scared but I'm here no matter what always nothing could ever change how much I love you"

"I didn't stop Papa" He whispered pain evident in his little eyes, he was the man of the house. He protected his Mami. Letty swallowed the sob that threatened to bubble over, how could you tell her 5 year old son that daddy had changed?

"Santi that isn't the same daddy you remember... daddy got into some bad things and they changed him. I know you remember the daddy we left behind but Mami made us leave because of those things. I don't want you to love your daddy any less but right now he's very sick"

"Daddy's a monster" He replied in anger remembering how many times daddy hit him and tossed him around.

"You don't have to see daddy if you don't want to" Letty murmured pressing her lips against his hair.

"Can Dom come with me Mami?"

Letty froze she hadn't even considered Santi wanting Dom to come with them.

"He's downstairs, you can ask him if he'd go"

Santi stood up from his mothers lap pausing to turn around and jump back into it. His little arms wrapped around her neck as she soothed his back gently.

"Te amo Mami"

"Te amo miho"

Santi climbed down the big flight of stairs his superman action figure clutched in his little fist. He heard Dom's voice from outside as he poked his head through the front door. Dom was bent over the hood of the Daytona when he heard the pitter patter of little feet behind him. His pant leg shifted against his thigh as Santi tugged on it gently.

"Hey sport" He smiled crouching down to Santi's level. Santi looked up at Dom eyes wide with fear, he felt as nervous as the kid looked. Sure he was around kids often enough but he didn't know how to help Santi heal.

"Will you come with me to go see the bad guys" Santi whispered his bottom lip trembling. Dom blinked in shock, he wasn't his dad or anything to the boy. Why him?

"Yeah of course Santi"

Santiago watched as the big man in front of him stared at him in confusion. Adults were supposed to know lots but they seemed to know little. He shook his little head shoving the superman action figure out at Dom.

"You're the real superman" He whispered "You saved me and my mommy and I'm scared.

Dom felt his body surge with emotion, Santiago actually believed him to be superman.

"It's okay to be scared Santi everyone gets scared even me. We just have to be very strong and get through this"

"Like the Hulk?"

Dom chuckled "Yeah just like him"

"Will you protect my Mami?" He asked quietly anxiously toying with the action figure.

"I'll protect you and Mami always" Dom murmured. Santi launched himself into Dom's arms catching him off guard and almost knocking him over. His little arms clung to his neck and Dom rubbed his back gently.

"Thank you" Santi whispered still clutching at Dom's neck. Dom just nodded his head biting back the tears that threatened to spill over. He would do anything to protect him and Letty, he loved them.

How was that!? Next is the visit to the police station and Letty's blowout. I kept this part separate I felt it was...necessary.
