So its been a while. Holy, so if you are still reading. Thank you.

It took me a while to reread the story to write this chapter for you. I am going to school full time and work part time, so I honestly don't have much time to write anymore which saddens me.

Hope you like this one. I will try to upload more often. Edit laterrrr gators. Homework time.


Letty and Dom looked over and smiled, as Tony blushed a bit.

"Sorry, my fault"

Everyone shrugged and went back to mingling as Tony walked up to the happy couple. Letty leaned in to Dom's chest as Tony started,

"Annemarie is crying in the bathroom"

Letty raised her hand,

"Guilty"

Tony raised his eyebrow as she sighed,

"Its not like I meant too. I just told her she would find a guy someday like I found Dom. And she freaked out and ran inside"

Tony laughed,

"Always making friends"

Letty laughed,

"And you love me all the same"

Tony laughed and put his hands up,

"Somehow."

He turned to Dom,

"Can we talk for a few minutes?"

Dom nodded as he unwrapped his arms from Letty and kissed her temple. They walked in to the garage and sat on the old work bench, Tony put a hand on Dom's knee.

"I need you too know how proud of you I am"

Dom smiled,

"I know you are pops."

Tony nodded, and kept going digging in to the drawer and picking out a small box and putting it in Dom's hand. Dom looked at him with a raised eyebrow. Tony smiled,

"Just open it"

Dom laughed a bit as he opened it, noticing that it a key to the garage.

"I already have a key to the shop pops."

Tony shook his head,

"I'm giving you my key, its yours now"

Dom turned to fully look at his father and shook his head,

"What are you talking about?"

He shrugged,

"I know you were pissed when I asked Vince to come with me on the road but I knew you would never leave your sister or Let. And I have always known your heart is in that shop. So it's yours while I'm gone."

Dom put a hand on his mouth and looked at the key. A smile creeping on to his face and looking at his father,

"Are you sure?"

Tony nodded,

"One hundred percent. Harry wanted to talk to you not me the other day. You are that place Dom. So run with it, I have so much faith in you"

Dom smiled a bit and sighed,

"Thanks pops, I wont let you down."

Tony stood up and clapped a hand on his shoulder,

"I know you won't"

Tony looked up when he heard uncle Earl screaming about the good ol' days. Dom nodded,

"Go. I just need a minute"

Tony nodded and smiled as he walked out of the garage. Dom picked the key up and traced it with his finger. He had used this keys a hundred times before but this time it was different.

Now once he opened that door, he was in charge. He had full responsibility of the shop. He was so happy and yet so scared. It was his chance to make it or break it. He smiled as he slipped the key on his key ring.

The door creaked as Letty opened it and leaned against it,

"Hey sailor"

He smiled,

"Hey"

Letty smiled as she dug her hands in to the back pockets of her shorts, crossing her ankles,

"You alright in here?"

Dom nodded standing up and walked to her, grabbing her hips and kissing her. Letty stumbled back a little grabbing Dom's shirt. She smiled as he steadied her pulling away,

"I am amazing"

Letty smirked,

"I got that, you had a good talk?"

Dom nodded,

"You know how I was upset he asked Vince to go with him?"

Letty nodded as they readjusted so she was leaning on the garage wall with Dom's hands on the wall beside her as she played with the buttons on his shirt,

"Yeah I remember, you guys talked it out?"

Dom shrugged,

"Yes and no"

Letty raised an eyebrow as he continued,

"He gave me the key to the shop"

Letty laughed,

"We all have a key for the shop"

Dom shook his head,

"No, he gave me his key. He's giving me the shop while he's on the road"

Letty smiled and put her hands to her mouth,

"Babe"

Dom nodded,

"I know, its mine."

Letty smiled as she stroked his cheek,

"You are going to do amazingly well"

Dom smiled,

"You think?"

Letty nodded,

"Yup, and at least now well I'm at school you won't have to be depressed in your room waiting for me to get back at the door"

Dom laughed,

"Like a dog?"

Letty smiled,

"A very cute dog"

"Cute?"

Letty laughed and deepened her voice,

"I mean a manly dog. A very manly dog"

Dom laughed and kissed her, he mumbled 'better' as Letty laughed. The rest of the night was spent in the backyard listening to old family stories as Letty sat in Dom's lap trying to stay awake.

Dom rubbed her knee,

"Come on, I'll take you home"

Letty shook her head,

"Comfortable"

Dom chuckled in to her hair as he kissed it.

"Okay"

Letty smiled as he closed her eyes again playing with his fingers as the fire cracked in the background. Most of the adults had, been drinking enough to get a little loud and when a beer bottle smashed on to the ground Letty jumped out of her sleep.

Dom chuckled,

"Come on, bed time"

Letty grumbled,

"You aren't my mother, you can't tell me what to do"

Dom laughed,

"Okay, I am asking you nicely"

Letty laughed lowly and rolled her eyes looking at him. He smiled a goofy smile,

"Please"

Letty scrunched her nose and sighed,

"I don't want to get up. Carry me"

Dom laughed,

"Gosh you are needy sometimes"

Letty smiled,

"But if I remember correctly you love me"

Dom smiled,

"I do"

She smiled and stood up stretching. Dom smiled and stood up sweeping her off her feet and she laughed. Dom smirked,

"I will carry you"

She smiled,

"Well giddy up horsey"

Dom laughed as they walked in to the house up to his room. He collapsed on the bed with Letty underneath him. She laughed as he nuzzled in to her neck. Letty rubbed his head, and whispered,

"We're going to be alright"

Dom nodded,

"I know. Tomorrow is the start of something new"
