Chapter 2

Disclaimer: The response to this has been absolutely fantastic, thanks all!

After Chuck had gotten out of the car, he couldn't help but gulp again when Mia's brother and the woman known as Letty grew serious and stared straight at him. "Uhh… Hi?"

The stares continued and Chuck grew even more nervous until thankfully, Mia stepped in with an eye roll. "Guys, stop it!"

Letty chuckled and looked towards the girl who was like a sister to her while Dom went up to Chuck. "Girl, you know how protective we are of you."

Mia smiled softly. "Yeah, I know. But there's nothing to worry about from Chuck. He's a good guy."

"I'll take your word on it, girl, but you know your brother is probably gonna be a harder sell." Cautioned Letty.

A sigh came from Mia but she had hope as she nodded an agreement, knowing how her brother could be as she turned her attention to the two most important men in her life. Things between the two had been silent after Dom had come to stand in front of Chuck and despite how nervous and admittedly scared he was, he held his ground and looked the bigger man in the eyes. "So, you're the guy my sister likes to talk my ear off about."

"Uhh, yeah, that's, that's me."

"I've had a friend do some homework on you, Charles Irving Bartowski."

"Oh yeah?"

"Yeah, the Internet's a wonderful thing accordin' to him. You've had it somewhat rough and no doubt most others would be bitter about it but you're not."

"My sister, my friend Morgan, and some therapy helped out a lot with that." Chuck told him seriously.

Dom nodded at that. "But despite that and what my sister's told me, I don't know you, Bartowski. And because of that, I don't trust you. But you keep doin' right by my sister, and I won't have trust issues with you anymore. Got me?"

"I got you. I love and care for Mia a great deal and I've got no plans to ruin that. I'll do what I need to in order to earn that trust because I don't want Mia to be forced to choose between us. Because I know I'll lose her to you and that's the last thing I want to see happen. It… It'd crush me. It'd crush us both."

Kid's definitely got some potential. I see why my sister's so nuts about him. I don't think I have anything to actually worry about, but still… This IS my baby sister after all.

"So long as you don't do anything stupid, Kid, we won't have to worry about that. Now, let's head inside as we actually were finishing up getting lunch ready. You hungry?"

"Uhh… I'm still feeling pretty nervous so I can't give an answer to that one."

Dom couldn't help but grin in amusement at that. "Well, once you have a beer or two in you, I'm sure you'll be feelin' a lot better. And by the way, in our household, you can have any beer you want as long as its a Corona."

Chuck, despite how he was feeling, couldn't help but give a strange look to the big guy as they began to walk towards the girls. "Uhh… Isn't that… Isn't that kinda contradictory?"

He gulped when the big man turned back to look at him and to his surprise, Dom laughed as he turned back to look at his sister. "I think I just might end up likin' like this guy, Mia." He declared as no one outside of Mia and Letty had ever dared to question him on that until now.

His words made Mia smile as she hugged him before going to Chuck and wrapping her arms around him. "I'm happy to hear that, Dom." She said with a fond look at her boyfriend.

Together, the foursome made their way inside the Toretto household for an enjoyable lunch together that let Dom and Letty get to know Chuck just a little more outside of what Mia had told them. And for him to do the same with those two.

Author's Notes: The way I wrote this made it feel like this is the end, but no worries. Its not. Chuck will be meeting the rest of Team Toretto soon!
