AN: Wow! Thank you all for the reviews on that last chapter! I did tweak a few things in the last chapter just to make it more believable. I do apologize to all the Dotty lovers out there, yes I killed the baby. I'm really sorry. But I hope you guys enjoy this chapter!
All Mistakes are mine
Letty looked down at her legs as she slowly slid her pants off. Her hands were shaking as she touched the blood. Was it real? Maybe she had started her period. A sudden pain hit her in the stomach causing her to fall to the ground. Blood filled the spot where she sat instantly. She tried to control her breathing as she held onto the counter lifting herself up. She grabbed a towel off the rack putting it down on the floor. There was knock on the door. "Um…give me a second." She replied as she wiped up the blood off the ground.
"Let, are you okay?" It was Mia. Letty covered her mouth as the pain hit her again. She needed help. She slowly walked over to the door bringing the towel with her with her feet. She slowly opened the door looking at Mia with pleading eyes. "Letty?"
"I need your help." Letty gasped out. She opened the door more letting Mia see inside.
"No!" Mia covered her mouth. Letty pulled her inside shutting the door behind her. "What happened?"
"I don't know but it won't stop." Letty replied. "There is blood everywhere."
"Here sit down, sit down." Mia ushered her over to the toilet and sat her down. Letty covered her face with her hands. "Does it still hurt?"
Letty shook her head. "No I think it stopped."
"Letty, I think we need to take you to the hospital."
"No!" Letty gasped. "No hospitals. I don't want Dom to know."
"Letty…" Mia whispered.
"Please Mia, he can't know. Not right now."
Mia nodded her head. "Okay, I won't tell him."
Tears slowly slid down Letty's face as she sat there. "We need to get you cleaned up." Mia told her starting the water in the bathtub. She made sure the water was warm before helping Letty take off the rest of the clothes. She helped Letty into the bath before cleaning up the rest of the blood with a towel. She looked over at Letty a few times noticing she was just staring at the wall, blankly. Mia nodded her head as she grabbed a washcloth from the counter, wetting it, and then began washing Letty's arms and back. "Everything is going to be okay." She whispered. "I'm right here."
Mia stuck her head out the door before ushering Letty down the hall and into her bedroom. Everyone's door was closed, so she expected everyone to be asleep. She sat Letty down on the bed, pulling clothes from her drawer and dressing Letty. "I am going to go throw these towels in the wash so no one suspects anything, I will be right back." Mia whispered. She pulled the covers back on the bed before laying Letty down. "You rest, and I will be back." Letty didn't respond. Mia didn't really expect her too. She picked the towels off the floor and rushed downstairs. Letty stayed in the position that Mia had left her in, she wiped her face with her hand as the tears fell down. She didn't even have time to take a test to find out, it just happened. She had no warning, it just…killed it. She closed her eyes squeezing them shut as she thought about her baby. Ho was she going to tell Dom? She knew that telling him she was pregnant was going to be hard, now telling him she was but she lost is going to be worse. Soft sobs escaped her mouth as she heard the door open back up. She covered her mouth as she felt the bed dip. Mia laid down beside her wrapping her arms around the Latinas body. Mia felt her body shake as she tightened her grip, this was what friends were for…family was for. Tears fell down Mia's face as she closed her eyes letting sleep take over her.
The sun was shining bright into the room as Mia opened her eyes. She was still in the position she fell asleep in but Letty wasn't beside her. She rubbed her eyes before sitting up. She wondered what time it was, she groaned as she looked around the room. There wasn't a clock in sight. "Really Letty? How do you get up in the mornings?" She threw her legs over the side of the bed and walked to the door. The smell of bacon filled the hallway. Mia was surprised someone other than herself was cooking. She hurried down the stairs and into the kitchen to find Letty leaning over the stove.
"Um, Let…" Mia walked in slowly. "Are you really cooking right now?"
"You sound so surprised." Her tone was different. She didn't look up from the stove. Mia nodded her head as she went and sat at the table.
"So you don't own an alarm clock? How do you get up in the mornings?"
"Dom, I usually sleep in his room. If you want to know what time it is, its eight thirty."
"How are you feeling?"
"I'm okay, the pain comes and goes. The bleeding stopped so that's good I guess."
"I really think we should go see someone, something might be wrong…"
"No." she was firm. "It had to be those bikers, I fell down last night. That has to be it."
"Letty… I know you and I know you are going to keep this to yourself, but please please do not block me out. You need help through this and I am here for you every step of the way. I just need you to know that."
Letty finally turned around and looked at her friend. "I know that Mia, I am just trying to process everything right now."
"Wow that smells so good!" Vince walked in the kitchen and immediately stopped when he saw Letty standing at the stove. "Wait, is this really happening right now?"
"Do you want to eat?" Letty yelled twirling around with the tongs in her hand. Mia began to laugh.
"Geez, calm down ma." Vince held his hands up in the air. "What are you two doing up anyways? I expected you to sleep till at least noon."
"Couldn't sleep." Letty mumbled.
"Thinking about last night?" No one replied. Letty began taking the bacon off the stove as Mia played with a string on her shirt. "Right."
Letty brought out the plates as she set the table before putting all the food on each plate. Vince continued to look back between Mia and Letty, expecting one of them to speak, but no one did. The room began to fill up with the rest of the family so he didn't press the situation.
"Letty made us breakfast." Vince replied nodding his head. Letty came up behind him slapping him hard across the head. "Owe!"
"Shut it!" She snapped. Mia covered her mouth as laughs escaped.
"Don't you be laughing over there." Vince pointed his finger at her.
"What's the occasion?" Leon asked.
"Can I just cook a damn meal for yall?" She yelled. Everyone stopped what they were doing and stared at her. She sighed as she walked out of the kitchen leaving everyone there wondering what the hell was going on.
A few moments later there was a soft tap on Letty's door before it opened. Dom appeared in the doorway. "Hey." His voice was soft.
"Hey." She whispered back.
"Are you okay?"
She nodded her head fearing that if she spoke everything would come spilling out. She wanted to tell him, she wanted to scream it to him. But she just sat there, not saying a word.
"Letty, I'm not mad about last night…" She moved off the bed and over to the jacket. She pulled out the cross necklace and handed it to him.
"I don't even remember putting it in there." She replied.
"We were working on the Supra and you took it off my neck and said just in case it got broken…that a week ago."
Letty nodded her head. "Its been a long week." She mumbled.
"Why? What's going on?"
"Did you ever find anything about Brian?" She changed the subject. He sighed.
"He was roaming around Mexico City because he is afraid of losing his car. So we took him to Trans garage, their engines are missing in their cars. I don't know it was a weird night. But everything is good with Brian I guess….Vince is still convinced."
"Of course he is."
"So how about you tell me what is really going on with you?" Dom lifted her chin up so she would look at him. She closed her eyes breathing in. She didn't respond to him instead she moved him aside and walked out of the room. She left him there again wondering what the hell was going on.
She walked outside letting the sun hit her in the face. It was Sunday, it was the annual BBQ but she didn't care. She needed to get out. She needed to run away. She climbed into her Nissan and pulled out of the driveway and headed towards the beach. She put her sunglasses down over her eyes as the tears filled them. The beach was only a couple of miles away, so she pressed on the gas and sped all the way there. She quickly got out stumbling on the sand until she made it to the water. She collapsed as the water hit her instantly. She covered her face with her hands as she sobs and tears came out. "Oh my god!" she cried. She was instantly soaked as she sat there. She rubbed her hands over her face wiping the tears away. How could they be so stupid to be in that situation in the first place? She wanted to kick herself for not using protection. Moments had passed and she finally calmed down. She felt the presence of someone behind causing her to spin around.
"Hey." Vince knelt down beside her. "Ma, are you okay?"
She shook her head. "What is it Letty?"
"Vince…" Her chest jumped. "Something horrible happened."
"What is it?"
The tide came up again. "I lost my baby."
"What?"
"Don't tell Dom, please." She cried. "He cant know, I don't want him to know."
"Letty…" Vince whispered.
"Please."
He nodded his head.
Present Day:
"Letty?" Dom walked outside on the porch. Letty was standing there holding her stomach. "Are you okay?"
She nodded her head as she looked up. "What is it?" He asked.
"I had a baby?"
"What?" he asked.
"I was pregnant."
"When?" Dom asked glaring at her.
