Dominic, age 20, Leticia, age 16

A man who still had the shadow of childhood in his eyes walked up to the man sitting with his head in his palms, obviously he hadn't slept well.

"Hey brother, long time no see huh?" Dom looked up with a small smile on his face.

"It's nice to see ya again Vince."

"Well what're ya waiting for? It's been two years and you don't have the instincts to hug your best friend?" Vince grabbed him in a large bear hug Dom tensed, he wasn't used to people touching him. Vince understood and pulled back.

"You ready to go home brotha?" Vince asked. Dom looked off into the distance, and sighed.

"Yeah man I'm ready to go home."

The Toretto's house

The whole car ride home had been silent; neither of the two were very talkative. Dom was scared, what if his family had changed too much? What if he had changed too much? Was Mia still ok? Had the racing scene changed? Dom grimaced at his last thought. Had Letty moved on from his family? Dom had made sure to never read any letters the team sent to him and he'd never let them visit him. He was scared, scared that if he got tastes of the world outside of that prison he'd miss it too much and lose himself. Dom stared out of the window, looking at the passing houses and people, and thought, I'm never going back there again.

"Hey man be careful they're gonna kill ya with hugs." Vince said as he and Dom stepped out of the car. Dom just looked at him and frowned a little. Man he's lost his humor. Vince thought

"It was a joke man." Vince punched him in the shoulder as he opened the door. Dom walked in, everything was the same but yet it all was different. Dom didn't have much time to dwell on it when he was suddenly tackled in a hug by his little sister, it was less awkward but it was still slightly uncomfortable.

"Oh my god Dom I missed you so much, I'm so happy you're home. I made your favorite Spaghetti with meat balls." His little sister said all of this so fast that it took Dom a second to process it. He wasn't used to talking to people either. Once he realized she was finished talking he smiled and kissed her on the head.

"Thanks Mi." Mia just smiled at him like she'd been praised and skipped back into her kitchen.

"Yo daug we missed ya pumpkin." Leon had gotten scruffier more grown up Dom observered. Leon hugged him too, it still felt uncomfortable.

"H-h-hey Dom, I've kept your Mazada in perfect condition, we've spent all weak working on it." Dom smiled at the jumpy little kid.

"Who's we?" Dom asked wanting to know who was working at the garage.

"Me, Vince, Leon, and Letty." Jesse replied smiling at Dom. Dom felt warm at the mention of Letty's name.

"Who'd ya think would work on it Dom?" Dom turned around to see Letty leaning up against the wall in a grease covered white tank top and some jeans, sucking a lollipop, figures. The whole team shuffled out of the hallway giving the two some privacy. Dom didn't notice though he was looking at the beautiful Latina in front of him, her raven colored hair was longer and falling loosely over her shoulders, her body had filled out in all of the right places. He thought she was gorgeous in 8th grade now she's a goddess. He smiled; he genuinely smiled for the first time in 2 years.

"I was hoping my family, you know I don't trust anyone else to touch my engine." Letty smiled and her eyes glazed over, Dom acted on instinct her pulled her close to him in a hug and it felt right, it felt like he was meant to be here holding her. Dom felt a wetness on his chest and realized Letty was crying silent tears. After awhile Letty pulled away even though Dom wasn't ready to. She looked up at him and smiled as she wiped her nose with the back of her hand.

"Welcome home Dom." And with that she was gone. It felt like the color left the room as Letty walked out of it. Dom smiled, this was going to be interesting.
