I've spent all day on this one chapter and I'm still not happy with it. I don't feel like I've gotten my point across but I promised an update so here it is.

Vince's POV

It had been a long ass day. The garage was almost at full capacity, and Leon had just towed in another that needed to be fixed by tomorrow. We'd done overtime, trying to get as much as we could out of the way today so that tomorrow wasn't a late one too. Now all I wanted to do was go home and relax with a corona.

"We out?" I asked Dom as finished up in the office.

"Yeah. We'll have a busy day tomorrow though." He sighed tiredly as he rubbed his head.

"Yeah, I figured." I nodded as I turned to leave the office knowing he'd follow me.

"You good?" He asked me and I nodded silently. Was I good? Fuck no but I couldn't tell him that.

"Ready?" Dom asked everyone as Jesse finished shutting down the computer.

"Let's roll."

"Mia's afternoon tutoring session ran over, she hasn't cooked. We need to grab take out on the way home." Letty said as she slipped her phone into her pocket.

"Damn, alright. What's everyone want?" Dom asked and a chorus of 'whatevers' sounded.

"Well in that case I vote chinese so you can just all deal. Vince you're coming to help." Letty spoke up while I tried not to groan. All I wanted to do was go home and shower.

"Can't you take Dom?" I asked annoyed.

"Nope. Let's go." She said as she grabbed my keys from my hand and headed for my car.

"Hey, no. You are not driving my car." I said as I quickly went after her leaving behind the others to lock up.

"I'm going with or without you so make your choice." She sassed back, jumping straight into the drivers seat before I could do anything about it.

"Fuck." I muttered as I jogged around to the passenger seat, knowing the threat of Letty leaving without me was real.

"Good choice." She smirked at me before she pulled out of the driveway.

"Dom has his hands full with you." I muttered making her laugh.

"Oh he knows."

Ten minutes later and we were sitting on the bonnet of my car waiting for our order to be ready. I cast a look over to Letty and narrowed my eyes when she quickly looked away, again. This was the third time I'd caught her staring. Obviously something was on her mind.

"You going to spit it out?" I asked her as I stared her down.

"Say what?" She asked.

"Whatever it is that you want to say. Come on, spit it out." I sighed as she finally turned to look at me.

"You and Emily-" She started and I quickly turned away.

"Nope not discussing that." I said brushing her off.

"You don't even know what it is I'm going to say." She huffed annoyed as she blocked my get away.

"I can imagine. Look Let just leave it alone, it's my problem to deal with." Her eyes flashed with anger and I knew immediately I'd said the wrong thing.

"Problem? Is that all she is to you?" She demanded angrily and I sighed, running a hand over the back of my neck.

"I didn't mean it like that." I muttered feeling bad about the way it had come out.

"Then how did you mean it? Explain it to me Vince." She spoke, arms crossing as she stared me down.

"Fuck. Why you getting all up in my face over this?" I asked trying to avoid answering her.

"Because someone has to."

"What does that mean?" I asked angrily.

"You're being an idiot."

"I'm being an idiot?" I asked incredulously.

"Yes you are. Have you even spoken to her? Like really spoken to her? Asked her how she's feeling about this? What you guys are going to do?" She fired off at me and I hesitated for a split second but it was enough for Letty to notice.

"No you haven't." She answered for me.

"We've spoken a little bit. I told her I'd be there." I said as if that explained everything.

"Be there? What does that mean Vince?"

"That I'd be there for her and the baby." I spoke getting slightly defensive over her questioning.

"Yeah? You going to be there for the late night feeds, the teething, the sleepless nights, the crying? To help her when she hasn't slept in five days and is a mess thinking she's a bad mum? Or are you just going to be there when it suits you? Using her as a toy when you're bored." She asked me quietly.

"Shit Letty. I'm not fucking heartless of course I'll be there for all that." I sighed as I ran a hand over my head. She blinked at me, assessing me with her eyes before she looked away.

"I spoke with Emily on Sunday." She said softly and I paused, my eyes narrowing at her words.

"Right..." I said hinting for her to keep talking.

"I told her about Dom and I." She spoke eyeing me as she started. I stayed silent, wondering where she was going with this.

"She asked me how I told him, about the scare."

"How did you tell him?" I asked not knowing much other then what came out during our big fight.

"I didn't."

"Then how…?"

"He confronted me. We hadn't been on speaking terms since the day after my sixteenth." She spoke as I joined her on the car.

"I never even noticed." She smirked at me and rolled her eyes.

"You lot never notice much." She teased and I rolled my eyes back at her.

"So what happened?" I asked as I looked down at the girl I thought of as a little sister.

"The night I got back from the DR he spoke to me about his feelings. I told him I needed to think about it. The possibility of us having a baby together scared the shit out of me but it also made me feel like I was making him settle." I frowned as I listened to her open up.

"Dom doesn't-" I started but she cut me off.

"Settle? Maybe not for a chaser but for someone he thinks of as family, he would have. We both know Dom, he's a good man. If I had of been pregnant I couldn't do it to him, I would have felt like I was trapping him." She sighed.

"He didn't feel trapped. He wanted you." I spoke quietly remembering the talk Dom and I had had the morning after our fight.

"Anyway back to my point," She started and I nodded waiting for her to continue.

"Emily understood what I meant, said she felt the same way- Let me finish." She added when I quickly went to interrupt her. I frowned but said nothing letting her continue.

"She explained how she hadn't planned on telling you."

"What?" I asked shocked.

"Can you blame her?" She asked me and I frowned.

"A guy deserves to know he's about to be a father." I muttered, my mind swirling with the news. Fuck.

"Which is why she did tell you." Letty spoke up and I nodded.

"Yeah..." I mumbled preoccupied. Why hadn't she wanted to tell me? Was she afraid of what I'd say? That I would have made her- No. I'd never have gone that far.

"Look Vince I don't know what's going on in your head. I don't know how you feel about her or what you want but I will say this. I know what it feels like to want a guy you can't have. I waited years for Dom and it sucked. Watching him work his way through women hurt like hell. One day waiting wouldn't have been enough anymore,I would have moved on." She spoke as she jumped down from my car.

"What are you saying?" I asked confused.

"Emily, she's no chaser-"

"Damn right she's not. She's fucking better then any of them." I spoke up making Letty pause.

"Yes she is. She's also not the type of girl to wait around for someone who doesn't want her."

"What the fuck are you talking about?" I asked confused.

"You guys are going to have to sit down and talk. And I mean talk. You both have decisions you need to make. One of them being are you both comfortable with having other women or men in the baby's life-" She continued on like I hadn't spoken before I cut her off again.

Other men? Fuck no. Emily was mine, that baby was mine. No other male was raising my kid.

"Whoa hold up. Back track for a second who said anything about other people?" I asked as I pushed off the car and stopped her from leaving.

"V, I know you. I know your rep and so does she-"

"I haven't been with anyone since I started with Emily." I snapped.

"You saying your exclusive?" She asked it casually but it was a loaded question. She was digging which meant there was more to this then she was letting on.

"Wasn't at first, I mean I never slept with anyone but... Look I want her, I want this to work. I haven't felt like this about anyone... fuck I sound like Dom." I groaned as I rubbed a hand over my face.

"Vince you need to talk to Emily." She said with a small smile on her face before she walked back into the take out place to grab our order.

Yeah I fucking did. Tonight.
