Hey guys, here is the newest chapter, no throwing things I know it was wrong but hell it works and I like the way this is going to go... As always I do not what so ever own anything that is familiar. Well I guess that's kind of a funny thing to say cause if you are following this then everything is familiar. You know where I am going with this so that said here it is.

Thanks to all that have reviewed.

A special shout out to cheer for her strength and courage. She is a wonderful friend.

Also all that is in bold belongs to Stacey, she has helped write the last few chapters and I am sure will help with more.

Now on with the show.

"I know Papi dying really messed you up, you didn't need the news of me adding to it all" Rachel explained "all Dom was doing was what I asked to protect you"

"But still maybe meeting you would have made me feel like I didn't completely lose him"

"Well you just got a part of him back" Rachel said smiling sweetly at her.

"I guess I have"

Rachel and Mia entered the living room together laughing and giggling like they had known each other for years. Jennifer and Sammy were sleeping on the couch next to their uncle Nick and Bella. It was late and Rachel should probably have had them home and tucked up nicely for a couple hours now, but things need to be sorted out.

"I should get them home" Rachel announced watching her two beautiful children for a second.

"No leave them they can stay over here tonight, no need to wake them" Bella said

"They will just get cranky if they're anything like their Uncle" Mia added earning a smirk mixed glare from her Dom.

"Well I'm going home anyway, it's just easier saves coming to fetch them in the morning" she said yawning

"You've had more than the limit of beer to be driving" Dom said, "you're not going anywhere, you're staying here to"

"I like my home comforts" Rachel explained. Dom and Rachel argued a while longer about how she was staying over and Brian finally stopped the bickering by telling them he would take Rachel home himself.

"We need to talk anyways," he said looking at Rachel who nodded to him before turning to Dom and sticking her tongue out, she had gotten her own way and she was happy about it. Rachel walked to the door stepping over Vince and Jesse who were on the floor.

"That ok?" Brian asked walking over to Mia.

"Yeah go ahead" she sighed before kissing him before he followed Rachel to the door. Mia walked over to them both hugging Rachel "it was great to meet you, and we still have a lot of catching up to do. I will come pick you up in the morning to fetch your car"

"Sure" Rachel said, "I'd like that". Rachel called goodbye to the rest of her new family and received a few 'nice to meet you' and 'Laters'. She walked out of the house Brian close behind, figuring out how he was going to ask for permission to be in his daughter's life.

They drove part way in silence neither one knowing where to start. Traffic was heavy which was unusual for that time of night so they would have even longer in the car to talk. Which were a good thing and a bad thing at the same time.

"Rachel I'm sorry" Brian began slowing down for the car in front to turn.


"You don't need to apologize to me," Rachel told him "I knew from the moment I met you that things wouldn't work between us. You need to be explaining all this shit to your daughter"

"I will if you'll let me," Brian said glancing over at her quickly before turning his attention back to the road. "Rachel I wanna be in her life, I wanna make it up to her, I wanna be her father" he added quickly as his cell phone rang. He took his eyes off the road for a second to pick it up from the little pouch he had by the gear shit. He flipped it up reading Mia's name on the caller ID. When he looked up all he saw was the back end of a lorry. He heard a loud noise and then everything went black.

He could hear a woman screaming but his eyes were to heavy to open, his head was banging, he could feel the blood dripping from his lip. When he finally managed to open his eyes, he wished he hadn't. Rachel's head was resting on the dashboard, he couldn't see any blood coming from her but she was white, and her eyes held nothing but pure fear. "Brian" she began before coughing "I want you to take care of Jen and Sam" she added

"No Rach, your gonna be ok, you can take care of them" he said panicked.

"No I'm not. I can feel it…" he began to disagree again but she interrupted him "listen to me, I want you to look after Jenny and Sam, you Brian not Dom, he has enough shit that I don't want them involved with. Dom and Bella need to concentrate on themselves so I want you and Mia to take care of the babies and remind them every day that I love them, and I wasn't in pain and all I wanted was for them to be happy"

"Rachel just hang on I'm gonna get you some help"

"It's to late" she said he began to cry and scream for help "Brian smile for me" she said softly


"What?" he asked

"Smile for me" she said. He plastered on a fake smile for her "I always loved that smile" no sooner had she finished her sentence a small stream of blood ran down from her mouth and she didn't speak again. Brian screamed and yelled as loud as he could for someone to help him.

Someone was talking to him asking if he was ok but he was in too much shock to answer. He could see people running around as he sat on the curb, he had no idea of how he got to it, but here he was sitting on the curb watching the blur of life going by him. He tried to remember what had happened and all he could recall was Mia ringing his cell. He got up unsteadily and walked back over to the car where Rachel's dead body still lay.

He climbed through the window and retrieved his cell phone from under his seat and then looked at Rachel again as he climbed out, throwing up when he sat back at the curb.

He didn't know how long he had been sitting there staring at this cell, there was no easy way to call your wife and tell he that the sister she just meet is now dead. How was he going to tell his best friend that his sister that he has taken care of since the day she was born is now dead? Hell how was he going to tell his daughter, a daughter he hasn't seen since she was 4.

"Brian, are you all right?" Annie, Bella sister asked. She was the responding officer and when she arrived she thought she recognized the car but didn't know why till she say him sitting on the side of the road.

"Yeah." Brian replied out of common knowledge that he would never be ok.

"Were you hurt?"

"I don't think so. I need to call Dom and Mia." Brian stated more then asked.

"I am going to need you to come down to the station later and tell me what happened. But that can wait for a while. Did you want me to call them?" Annie asked knowing that he must be hurting.

"No, but can you give me a ride to the hospital." With that Brian scrolled down on his phone and called the house. He didn't want to have this conversation on the phone.

After a few rings the phone was answered.

"Hello?"

"Hey Bella, it's Brian. Can you bring Mia and Dom to meet me at the hospital?" Brian was glad that Mia or Dom didn't answer the phone. He just hoped that she wouldn't ask to many questions.

"Are you guys all right?" Bella asked going into mother mode.

"Yeah, I am, please just get them there." Brian said softly.

"Sure." With that Brian and Bella hung up and Annie took him to the hospital.

Brian sat in the main waiting room, he didn't know how he was going to break the news, but he had to some how. No matter how much he was hurting now he knew it was going to be nothing close to what Dom and Mia would be feeling.

Brian looked up to find Bella, Dom and Mia headed his way. They looked pissed not to know what happened but worried as well.

When they got closer and realized that Rachel wasn't with him, Dom was the first one to talk.

"Ohh God what happened to her?" Dom asked, Brian was a guy that always had his emotions written all over his face, he was pissed with him driving over here, why couldn't he have just told him over the phone that Rachel had broken her arm or something? Looking at the dread on Brian's face Dom knew it was much more serious and dropped his macho man act.

"We got into a car accident. There was nothing I could do. I glanced down to see that mia was calling me, then when I looked up I saw the back of a car and all went black. She didn't have her belt on." Brian said clearly up set about his all.

"And?" Dom questioned knowing Brian didn't want to continue but he was the only one who could tell them exactly what had happened.

"She's gone." Brian said just a little above a whisper, he didn't want it to be real and now actually saying the words made it real, realer then he wanted it to be!

At the thought of her new found sister being dead, Mia clung to Dom sobbing and Dom gave up all care about what people saw, he fell to the ground engulfed in grief for his sister taking Mia down with him, he to sobbing. Bella cried to and hugged Brian who she could see clearly needed the comfort Mia was incapable of giving him right now.

After a while Mia and Dom viewed the body and claimed it. Even though she had ID on her, they still had to have family claim the body. Mia stood over the body and couldn't bring herself to say goodbye, she had only just met her how could she be saying goodbye for good so soon? It wasn't fair and it wasn't right.

They made it back to the house, before anyone said anything else.

"What about the girls?" Mia asked suddenly remembering her sister had left behind two children.

"We will take care of them." Dom stated looking at Bella to let her know that he was going to do it with or with out her.

"Yeah, we can take them." Bella voiced her agreement with Dom knowing that he needed her support.

"Thanks Dom, but me and Mia will take them. After all one of them is my daughter. Rachel asked me to care for them." Brian said looking at Dom and then Mia hopping she would agree with him.

"I don't know Brian, It's going to be rough taking on two girls with BJ." Mia said softly.

"Brian you should listen to her, I'll take them, they know me and trust me. " Dom said sternly.

"Mia, Baby please, this is my chance to make it right. Where else would you have wanted to be when you lost your mom and dad?" Brain stated knowing that was a touchy subject but that was the only way to get her to relate to him.

"Don't worry about it Mia, I'll take care of them." Dom said addressing his sister as nice and sweet as he could to try and get her to agree with him.

"Dom, I am taking care of my daughter and her sister, I promised Rachel, She said she didn't want them involved in all of your shit. I will take you to court over this if I have to." Brian came back at Dom with anger.

"Bring it on, I am taking them and that's final. There is no discussion here." Dom stated and then went up stairs to go to bed.

"Damn it, Mia why wouldn't you back me up with this?" Brian questioned not caring who heard them fight.

"Did you promise her?" Mia asked softly.

"Yes." Brian answered looking her in the eye to tell her that he wasn't lying.

"Then we will do it, ill talk with him later. I'm going to bed." Mia told him.

"Mia, I'll talk with him. Things will be ok in the morning. Promise. " With that Bella went upstairs to talk with Dom about how stupid he was being. The girls would be close and well taken care of. He would always be close to jump in the second Brian fucked up, if he did, but Bella didn't think he would. He had messed up with the team once and she couldn't see him doing it again.

Mia lay in bed beside Brian, she was thinking about today's events, she was still in shock and she hadn't absorbed all the information yet.

She didn't want to fight with Brian and she knew he didn't want to either, he just wanted to fulfil Rachel's wishes and she knew he wasn't going to give them up with a fight, even a fight with Dom.
