Christmas 2016
The Torettos had double to celebrate this week. Lydia was born three days before Christmas. Lydia wasn't due for two more weeks and expected to be a New Years Baby. For her first birthday, they had a small family birthday party for the little girl. Dom wanted to make this holiday special for Letty and the kids. She was just restrictd to bed rest by her doctor and he wanted her to let him take the reigns for this year.
Letty was waddling down the stairs in her plaid pajamas with her hands on her back. Seven months pregnant and she's still moving on her feet. She reaches the end of the stairs and turns to see Dom putting presents under the tree. He's been doing the decorating, making the gingerbread house, and getting Christmas presents for the kids.
"Look at you being domestic." Letty says as she walks into the living room.
"I swear the hardest part is hiding them. I swear Brian becomes inspector gadget during Christmas." He says as he stands up.
"Just like you used to do back in the day."
"How's mini me doing in there?" He says touching her belly.
"He's doing some yoga in there. My bladder is as flat as a pancake but I'm good. The kids fell asleep easy and can't wait for Santa to come." Dom chuckles as he looks at his wife's belly. "Look at that smile." She says squishing his cheeks.
"I'm just happy. You, me, and the kids being here. It's more than I can ever want in this life."
"Me too." She leans her head up and kisses him. "You saved me some cookies?"
"Saved you a sugar and chocolate-chip."
They walk over to the couch and sat down. He reached over to take the cookies from the coffee table that the kids left for Santa. Letty takes a sugar cookie from the plate and Dom took a chocolate-chip.
"Since we got time before I passed out, we can figure out a name for this kid." She says as she bites into it.
"Right." Dom reaches under the table and pulls out a baby name book. They've been going through names for the last few weeks as her due date comes closer. They settled that Anthony would be the middle name and they would choose the first name together. "Alright, top three are Raymond, Luca, and Mateo."
"I'm stuck between Luca and Mateo."
"Mateo Anthony Toretto." Dom says.
"It doesn't flow like it should."
"How should a name flow?"
"Like when we picked Lydia's name."
"I feel like girl names were easier for us than picking out a boy's. How did you figure out a name for Brian?"
"It just came out of nowhere. I was already thinking about names for our kids when we talked about trying."
"You were?"
"Yeah."
"You are too cute. You're such a teddy bear under all that muscle." She says while tip toeing her fingers on his chest.
"What about Luca Anthony Toretto?"
"That sounds perfect."
"Yeah, I think so too."
"So our son finally has a name." She kisses him and he kisses her back. They hear a giggle coming from the the stairs. They turn around to see Brian sitting on the stairs and looking at them.
"What are you doing up buddy?" Dom says.
"Santa." He says as he held onto his teddy bear. Dom and Letty laughed as they stood up from the couch. They walked over to the stairs and Dom lifts him in his arms. He laid his little head on his dad's shoulder as he rubbed his back.
"Well let's get you to bed baby. Santa's on his way to see you when you sleep." Letty says to him. She kisses his cheek and the three of them went upstairs to bed.

February 1st, 2017
Letty is woken up by the sound of pouring rain coming from outside. She looks over at the clock on her nightstand and it's only 7pm. She turns her head and sees Dom watching Titanic on TV.
"Did I fall asleep again?"
"You passed out an hour ago. They haven't hit the iceberg yet though."
She shifts herself slowly as her belly has taken over. "Man, I feel like this belly has me on a leash."
"That doesn't sound weird at all."
"You know what I mean."
"One more week and we'll have our little boy in our arms."
"You're just saying that cause you aren't the one pregnant."
"I'm saying it cause I love you." He says as he goes sin to kiss her but she swats him away.
"No no no. That's how I got into this mess. I'm gonna go pee."
"You need any help."
"I got it." She says as she tries to lift herself off the bed and successfully does. She waddles to the bathroom in her out streched white tank top and black yoga pants. Dom goes on his phone when he gets a email notification. He looks at it and smiles seeing that the gift he designed for Letty was ready to be picked up. He was about to call Mia to ask to pick it up for him when Letty comes out of the bathroom.
"Baby."
"Yeah."
"It's time."
"For what?"
"It's time to have the baby."
"NOW?" He says as he jolts out of the bed.
"Yes now! My water just broke. Call Mia and Brian. We need someone to watch the kids." She says walking out of the bathroom and over to the door to put on her shoes.
"Okay. I'll call Mia and we just need the bag. Where's the bag?" He says while walking around the room pacing.
"It's in the car." She says as she holds on to the door pane.
"Right, it's in the car. Let's get you to the car." He says running out the door passing her.
"So I'll just meet you there?" She yells out into the hallway and he runs back in.
"Sorry baby. Let me get you downstairs." He says as he takes her hand and puts his other one on her back.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the father of my child."
