Amelia slowly opened her eyes as the light filled the room. She squinted as the room became clearer to her. She tried to sit up. Dom was at her side in a second.
"Millie…" He whispered to her.
"What happened?" Amelia groaned as she leaned her head back against the pillow.
"You have been unconscious for about two days…" Dom sat down on the bed. Amelia opened her eyes and looked up at him. "Do you remember anything?"
"Yeah…" Amelia started. "Is Hobbs okay?"
"Amelia…." Dom started. The door slowly opened cutting him off. In walked the doctor, he had dark hair, and was tan. He looked familiar.
"Hello Amelia, how are you feeling today?" He asked. Amelia continued to stare at him. Was that the man she saw that night in her room? She could have swore it was Han. She could have swore it was her best friend that came back from the dead.
"Amelia…" Dom started.
"I'm fine." Amelia answered finally.
"Are you sure?" The doctor approached her, he began touching her head and feeling her pulse.
"Yes, I just thought you were someone else." Amelia told him.
"I see."
"Is Hobbs okay? And Letty…is Letty okay?" Amelia looked around the room. Only Brian was sitting in the chair staring at her. "Where is everyone at?"
"Calm down Millie…" Dom put his hand on her leg. She looked at him with tears in her eyes.
"I will leave you guys alone. Everything seems to look good, if it stays that way you will be able to go home. Its good to have you back with us." The doctor smiled at her. She couldn't help but smile back at him as he turned to walk away. "You have a good support system here with you. They haven't left your side for a second."
"Thank you." Amelia whispered. She didn't speak again until she heard the door shut. "Just tell me…"
"Letty is okay. She wasn't hurt." Dom told her. Brian stood up from the chair and walked over to her.
"What?" Amelia was in shock. "You heard it Dom, Riley shot her."
"We thought Riley shot her…"Brian started. "Riley is a cop Amelia, he was hired by Hobbs to follow Ian a long time ago."
"So Letty is alive?"
"Yes." Dom smiled at her.
"And my family…Mia, Leon…everyone is alive?"
Dom nodded his head. "Leon was shot in the arm but he is fine. Everyone is okay. They are at the house right now. We had some contractors coming today to see what they could do to fix the damages. That's why no one is here. They will be by later on."
"So we won? How does that happen to us?" Amelia was smiling as the tears fell down her face.
"We are just lucky I guess." Dom told her. He leaned down kissing her on the forehead before getting off the bed. He sighed as he rubbed his hands over his head. He walked to the window and stared out it. Amelia looked up at Brian who was looking down at his hands.
"Then why are you acting weird?" Amelia asked. "What's going on?"
"Amelia, when you were running away Hobbs was shot. Ian was able to shoot him in the back. It pierced his heart….it killed him." Brian told her. Amelia shook her head as the tears flowed down her cheek. "He was trying to protect you because he found something…"
"He's dead?" Amelia whispered.
"Hobbs was a good man. He died protecting you. That was his job Amelia." Brian tried to justify it.
"But he is still dead."
"That's the way it works some times." Dom was still standing at the window.
"Amelia…" Brian started.
"I want my family here. Call Mia, I want them here." Amelia was panicked. "I need to see them myself."
"Okay…I will call them." Brian pulled his cell phone out of his pocket and walked out the door.
"Dom…"
"Rest Amelia…we have the rest of our lives to discuss what happened." Dom walked over to her. He sat down on the bed, leaning back against the pillow. He pulled her over to him as she wrapped her arms around his body, and laid her head on his chest. "Just sleep, I've got you."
Amelia sat on the bed and stared off into space. She had her clothes on and she was ready to go. Dom had left to go sign some papers for her release. Her mind began to wonder to the night she was semi awake, the night she saw Han sitting at the edge of her bed.
"Amelia you ready to go?" Dom walked into the room. Amelia jumped at his voice. "What you thinking about?"
"Han." Amelia whispered. "I know he's gone, I just…I don't know."
"How about we go home to our family?" Dom asked her with a smile. "I know you are dying to get out of here."
Amelia smiled at him and nodded her head. She lifted herself off the bed as Dom grabbed one of her arms. She looked down at his side. He was shot. She put her hand on it before lifting his shirt. He rolled his eyes as he pushed his shirt back down. "Its over Amelia."
"I sure hope so." She whispered. She slowly walked to the door. She didn't bother looking back, she knew he was behind her. She walked through the hospital with a new look on life. She was grateful for the life she had. She wouldn't change it. They lost lives, too many if you asked her but she was still here. Her family was still here. That's all that mattered to her. She smiled at the nurse and doctors she passed.
"Its Sunday." Amelia smiled at her brother as he opened the car door for her.
"That it is."
"There better be a dinner waiting on me when I get there."
"Do you think we would give up Sunday dinner?"
Amelia laughed at her brother as she leaned her head back against the seat. The sun bore down into the car, hitting her in the face. This overwhelming peace was taking over her. She was finally at peace. The ride to the house was silent. She liked it that way, she had a lot to think about. Everyone they had lost ran through her mind. Jesse, his perfect smile, his wit. The way he looked at her when he thought she wasn't watching. Vince, his brotherly instinct to protect her, his laugh. Gisele, her beauty, the way she loved Han. And then there was Han. Amelia looked out the window. She tried her hardest to remember exactly that night in the hospital room. Was it not him? The car pulled up to the house and stopped.
"We're here." Dom told her. He grabbed her bag from the backseat before opening the door and climbing out. Amelia opened the door but waited for Dom to help her out. She slowly began walking up the driveway to the patio out back. She heard voices and laughter, that made her smile. She was home.
"Its about time you showed up." Tej was the first to appear. He had tongs in his hand and an apron wrapped around his waist.
"Dom was driving slow." Amelia replied causing Dom to laugh beside her. She slowly walked over to him as he laid the tongs down before wrapping his arms around her.
"Its good to see you baby girl." He kissed her on top of the head.
"Don't let his big ass lips swallow your head." Roman appeared at the top of the steps. Amelia couldn't help but laugh as Tej glared at the man. "Ha! That was a good one."
"You're the one with the big ass forehead man…" Tej retorted
"Come here." Roman walked down the steps and over to Amelia. He wrapped his arms around her. "I will kick your ass if you ever do something like that again."
"What did I do?" Amelia shrugged her shoulders. "I was kidnapped."
Leon walked out of the house with Mia and Letty behind him. "Letty…" Amelia whispered. She let go of Roman and slowly began walking towards the steps. Letty descended them and wrapped her arms around Amelia as Amelia continued to stare. She couldn't believe she was still here. "You're okay?"
"Yeah." Letty laughed. "I'm fine."
"I heard it though, I heard the shot." Amelia let go of her. "I thought he killed you."
Letty shook her head. "I am really happy you are okay too." Amelia smiled as tears fell down her face. She wrapped her arms around Letty's body again. The sound of car doors shutting caught their attention. Two cops began walking up the driveway.
"Toretto…" One spoke. Amelia's heart stopped as she came face to face with Riley. She watched as Dom shook hands with the man who kidnapped her. "Amelia…" He turned his attention to her. He walked over to her. "My name is Detective Riley Hawkins. I believe I owe you an explanation." Amelia just nodded her head at him. "I have been undercover for Hobbs for the last two years. I have been running with Shaw that time, trying to figure out what he was up to. I am really sorry for what I put you through. I never had the intentions of hurting you or Letty. I just had to let him believe that I did. With your help, I was able to arrest twelve guys who were in America to cause a great deal of chaos."
"Hobbs…" Amelia started.
"He was the best man for the job. He got the job done. He died a hero and I will forever be in debt to him. He trained me. He was a good man. A good cop. He will be missed."
Amelia nodded her head at him. "Thank you." Amelia whispered.
"I just wanted to stop by, I feel like you needed an explanation in person." Dom walked over to Amelia putting his arm around her shoulders. "I will see myself out."
"Thank you for everything…" Dom started.
"Hobbs told me about you. Never thought I would trust a criminal."
Dom began to laugh. "Hobbs said the same thing."
"You guys have a good night." Riley turned around. "Oh I forgot…Hobbs wanted me to give you this. He said it was urgent." He pulled an envelope out of his pocket and gave to Dom. Dom looked down at it in his hands before looking at Amelia.
"What is it?"
"Lets eat!" Roman yelled. Amelia began to laugh as she turned around. "I'm hungry."
"You are always hungry." Amelia stated. Leon walked over to her. She smiled up at him as he leaned down kissing her softly on the lips.
"I've missed you." He whispered as he brought her into his arms.
"I've missed you too." Amelia sighed as she kept her arms wrapped around him. She was happy to be in his arms.
"That's real sweet, can you come over here and do that at the table please?" Roman smiled at them. Amelia laughed as she let Leon go and moved over to the table. Just as she was about to sit down she heard another door close.
"What is that?" Amelia asked. The sun was in her eyes. She shielded it with her hand but still couldn't make out the figure walking towards them. She looked around as everyone was looking at her with a smile on their faces. "Who is it?" she stood up. The figure was getting closer. She squinted…it couldn't be. He stopped. Amelia closed her eyes then opened them. He was standing there. He had a smile plastered on his face. His hair began to blow in the window. Of course, he had chips in his hand. Amelia's heart began to beat a little faster as she felt her legs pick themselves up. She was running. "HAN!" She screamed. She ran straight into his arms as he picked her up swinging her around. "Han!" She cried. She pulled away from him and looked him in the eyes. "You are here."
"I'm here." He told her. She wrapped her arms around his neck as she tears streamed down her face. Her family was whole again. She didn't know how, she didn't know when, but he was alive and he was home. They were together. Everyone. He let her down as she wiped her face. She turned to look at her family behind her. Mia had her arm around Brian's waist with Madison in her arms. She looked at Dom who was sitting at the table, with Letty in his lap. Then Leon, he had Archie in his arms. Then there was Tej and Roman. They were all there, smiling at her. "Lets eat." Han smiled at her. She held on to his hand as they walked to the table.
"Roman!" Brian yelled. "He reached in first, he has to say grace."
"Okay okay…" Roman laughed. He put the chicken back down before holding his hands out. "Dear Lord, thank you so much for the family you have given us. Please bless this food God, and bless our lives. We may have lost a few along the way, but we have always stuck together. Thank you for that…" Amelia smiled as she stared around the table. They had lost a few people along the way. The journey seemed long. It seemed like it would never end. But one thing remained the same, they were a family. All roads led to this. All roads will lead them back to where they needed to be, no matter what. You always want what you are running from and from Amelia, she wasn't running anymore.
AN: Happy ending! I think so! There was too much sadness in this story for there to not be a happy ending. Hope you guys enjoyed it! Let me know what you think! I really don't know what I am going to do with myself now that I don't have this story to write anymore. Haha REVIEW!
Prelude:
Amelia walked in the office of the garage. She was sweating, but it was break time. She threw herself in the chair as she took a sip of her water. She leaned her head back as she looked down at the desk. There was manila envelope sitting on it. She sat up putting her water down. She looked up making sure no one was around before picking the envelope up. Her hands were shaking. The last time she did this Letty was alive. She looked up again, no one was in sight. She opened it up pulling all the contents out. Something fell to the ground. She looked down before looking at the paper in her hands. It was to Hobbs. She bent down and picked up the paper that fell on the ground and turned it over. Her heart stopped.
"Jesse."
