I know it's short but it will all be explained in the next chapter.

Chapter 24

"Baby can you excuse us for a few?" Dom asked as he walked up the back steps and planted a kiss on her cheek. She smiled sweetly and walked into the house with her now empty beer in her hand. "Garage now." Dom demanded darkly. The guys all shared a look before they wearily stood up and marched into the garage. Once everyone was inside Dom closed the door and looked at them one at a time. "Explain."

"Look, this is my fault, I found them and I told Mia and she told Brian so we were going to see them; again." Jesse swallowed nervously. "Vince didn't know where we were going he just came and then we told him right before we got there." Jesse rambled on.

"Didn't you think that I should know if you had found them?" Dom asked matter-of-factly.

"I'm sorry Dom, we didn't know how you were going to react." Jesse explained with his puppy dog face.

"Let's not fight about this man. What'd you tell them? Did you talk to her? Are they coming home?" Brian said in a somewhat cop tone. Through dark hooded eyes, Dom shook his head.

"You guys know as well as I do why they won't be coming back." Realization hit them all and instantly they were ashamed that not only did they keep something about his family from him but, they didn't have the guts to tell him they were dating now. Dom walked out of the garage without another word.

"Damn." Vince sighed.

"Hey you," Addison smiled from her seat on the edge of the bed. "Where ya been?" Her nice smile was covered by his mouth as he bent down and gave her a much needed kiss.

"I went to Cabo and saw Letty and Leon today." Her face fell; he gave her a reassuring smile. "They've both made some choices and they won't be coming back. It's nothing to worry about I just had to hear it from them myself." Addison nodded and hugged him close.

"Well, it sounds like you had a stressful night." She grinned; he followed suit. Without another word she pulled him down onto the bed and began to kiss him hurriedly. Dom groaned and pulled away.

"You didn't bring the tutu did you?" There was a pause before they both laughed. Addison shook her head; still smiling, before she kissed him heavily.

"Baby?" I wiped the tears from my eyes and looked over at the door just as Leon was opening it slowly. It was almost déjà vu because this is how our first kiss happened. "Are you okay?" The redness on his neck had finally faded. "Tell me what he said." He commanded softly as he sat down next to me and put his arm around my neck. I leaned into him as the tears finally stopped.

"He told me we aren't welcome in the family anymore." I sniffled.

"He was angry babe. You know how Dom is impulsive. Just give him some time and we'll talk to him okay?" I nodded grimly as he tipped my chin up and planted a reassuring kiss on my lips.

"I don't want to lose my family Le."

"I know baby, I know."

(ONE YEAR LATER)

"Come on you big lug, let's get to the store." Addison laughed as she dragged Dom away from the back yard and into the car. Mia had forgotten something for the BBQ and nominated Dom to go. Addison took pity on him and decided to come along. Once they were in the car, Dom started it and pulled away before they hurried to the small grocery store a few blocks away.

Once they were out of the car Addison jumped on his back and laughed as they walked into the store. She was very light so picking her up was nothing. Without putting her down they walked down the isle and picked up the barbecue sauce before they went and grabbed a some more beer just in case.

Finally Addison jumped down from his back as they walked up to checkout. The young teen rang them up and just as they were about to pay Dom heard an all too familiar laugh. He looked towards the entrance and saw something he never expected to see, let alone at the little corner grocery store. It was Letty.

"Dom!" Addison snapped and then followed his stone cold gaze towards the door. She knew who it was from the picture she had seen. She knew all about Leon and Letty because Addison was the one who Dom vented too that night.

Addison looked at Dom sadly before looking over at Letty who had grabbed a basket and started to walk away without a clue. It wasn't seeing her that surprised him…

… it was the fact that she was pregnant that surprised him.
