Chapter 15: Mama Mia

"Oh shit, Mia !" Brian yelled, kneeling by her side. "Her pulse is weak" Brian said, panicing as he pressed two fingers to her neck to check her pulse.

"We gotta get her to a hospital. Now !!" Dom boomed, scooping Mia up in his arms, and running to the door.

"I'll drive," Brian said voicing his agreement, grabbing his keys, and running after Dom, only stopping to grab a blanket from the living room.

The Supra roared to life, and Brian sped down the road, weaving in and out of traffic, towards the county hospital. He screeched to a stop in the emergency ambulance bay, getting annoyed glares from the nurses on smoke break in front of the hospital. The car had barely stopped and Dom was already out, and storming into the hospital.

"My sister needs help, now !" Dom boomed. Sending nervous patients fluttering, an elderly nurse came up to him, directing him towards an empty stretcher where he gently laid Mia down..

"What's her name?" The nurse asked checking her vitals

"Mia" Dom answered his voice filled with worry.

"What happened?" The nurse ran around filling out a chart, looking Mia over, seeing the blood on her hands and dress.

"I dont know. We heard a crash in the kitchen, so we went to check on her and next thing I know, she's bleeding and passed out on the floor." Dom explained running a hand over his stubbled head, standing back helplessly.

"Is she on any medication ? Does she have a history of this happening ?"

"No, this has never happened before. And she isn't on anything, she's pregnant." Dom explained as the nurse headed out and into the bright hall.

"How far along is she ?" The nurse asked as she headed towards a doctor, practically running.

"I dunno, " Dom said frightened.

"She's 4 and a half monthes," Brian said coming up to them.

"Oh dear." The nurse said, breaking into a sprint. "Doctor we have a pregnant female in trauma bed two, with serious hemorraging. Vitals are low and irregular, she's lost a lot of blood." The nurse continued running off Mia's stats as they headed back to where Mia lay unconscience. The gurney covered in blood.

"We need to get her to OR stat. Have a transfusion ready. Looks like a second trimester miscarriage, ok lets move." The doctor yelled, as they began wheeling her towards the elevator. Dom and Brian tried to follow them, but the nurse stopped them.

"I'm sorry but you can't go. You are going to have to wait in the waiting room. We'll let you know as soon as we know something." She said gently, leading the two distraught men to the waiting room. "Now I need one of you to fill out these forms. And is there anybody you can call?" She asked as she handed them a clip board. They nodded dumbly to her, to which she nodded and turned on her heel and walked out.

"I'll get the forms, call the house and let them know what's up." Dom instructed, tears in his eyes. Brian sniffled, and went outside to make the phone call.

*****************

Twenty minutes later, Letty burst through the double doors leading to the waiting area, where a nurse jumped in her path.

"I'm here for Toretto." Letty told the nurse briskly before pushing past her, seeing Brian and Dom sitting in the stiff, plastic orange chairs. Letty was followed by the rest of the team.

"Whats up ?" Vince asked.

"Do we know anything yet?" Aaliyah questioned the frazzled men.

"How is she?" Jesse added.

"How's the baby ? Leon asked too, all the questions pouring out of the now frazzled team.

"You all cant be here." The nurse said briskly, getting annoyed at the shouting team, who was ignoring her. "Are you all family ?" The nurse demanded, cutting into the noise, making the team turn and face her.

"Yes we are." Aaliyah said, walking right in front of her, arms crossed against her chest, glaring down at the nurse. The nurse's mouth snapped shut, and she turned curtly on her heel and stamped out of the waiting room, muttering curses.

"Hey man, you want some coffee?" Leon offered, to which Dom and Brian could only nod. "Alright, I'll go see what the cafeteria offers." He patted their shoulders, and turned down the hall.

"I'll help yah, " Kel offered, running after him, not comfortable with hospitals

**************

Several hours later, the team sat around the waiting room. Jesse and Leon flipping through some magazines laying on the table. Vince paced the small hall, until everyone yelled at him to stop. Dom leaned against the wall, Letty leaning beside him, stroking his shoulders absently, starring at the tile pattern on the floor. Brian sat hunched over in a chair, holding his half full, cold, styrofoam cup of coffee in his hands, staring off into space. Kel and Aaliyah sat on either side of him, alternately rubbing his back soothingly. The room was eerily quiet, save for the periodic turning on and off of the fan in the pop machine, and the clicking of nurses heels on the floor. The creek of the door, startled everyone, and they all jumped up to hear the news.

The doctor's face was grim, and his green scrubs were splattered with blood, he pulled down his face mask, and pulled back the paper surgical cap he wore.

"How is she?" Brian asked finally, causing everyone to unconscienciously take a breath.

"She lost a lot of blood, and this is very traumatic to the body, especially a pregnant one." He paused and nobody moved, not even blinking. "I was able to stop the hemoragging. "

"Get to the point already doc!" Vince yelled, exasperated, and on the point of breaking.

"She is going to be fine. She is stable, and sleeping in her room." Everyone let out the breath they didn't know they were holding.

"And the baby ?" Brian pressed the doctor. The doctor glanced down at the floor before meeting their eyes.

"The baby is ok."

"Thank god." Aaliyah said, hugging Brian.

"We're not out of the woods yet." The doctor warned cutting into their celebration. " Mia will need several weeks of bedrest, and then she should try to keep quiet, and stay off her feet as much as possible, and not lift anything. We want the baby to stay inside for as long as possible, any stress could cause her to go into premature labour, resulting in hemoraging, and a incredible list of difficulties for the infant. Do you understand ?" Everyone nodded to the doctor.

"Can we see her ?" Dom asked

"Sure, but only for a few minutes and not all together, she has been through a lot, and needs her rest." The doctor stated.

"Thank you Doctor. " Brian said, shaking his hand. The doctor nodded,and wearily headed down the hall to get cleaned up.

******************

"Jesus Christ, put me down Brian." Mia shouted as Brian carried her up the stairs to her old room in Dom's house. " I can walk, you know ?!" She whined as he continued his way up the stairs.

"No, you can't. Well you can but you're not supposed to. You know what the doctor said." Brian stated firmly, as he kicked open the door to their room.

"Yah, yah, yah ." Mia said as he lowered her onto the bed.

"Now stay there, I'm just going to go get you so magazines and books to look at while you're stuck up here. Hey this will at least give you a chance to catch up on your work." She nodded her head and smiled sweetly at him, as he ducked out of the room. Mia waited until she could no longer hear Brian's footsteps on the stairs, before swinging her legs over the bed to get up. The bed springs squeaked as she stood up, she was just about to walk when the door swung open.

"And just where do you think you're going ?" Dom boomed, arms crossed against his massive chest, staring at her with his eyebrows raised.

"Just to get something." Mia said, batting her eyelashes at him, feigning her best innocent-who-me look at him.

"Thats what I thought. Now get your ass back in bed Mia Toretto!" His voice harsh, but Mia could see the love and concern behind the gruff tone.

"Is something wrong?" Brian asked, coming back in the room, just as Mia hopped back on the bed.

"No everything is fine." Dom stated, with a pointed glare to Mia to keep her in place. Mia flopped back against the pillows, arms crossed against her chest, pouting defeated.

************

"Oh shit !" She leaned against the counter, staring at the little plastic stick in her hand. She flopped down on the toilet seat, and grabbed the box off the counter. "This can't be right" She re-read the package again."Yup blue means positive, what am I gonna do now ?" She held her head in her hands.

"Girls !! We got a surprise for you. Get down here." Jesse, Leon, and Vince called up the stairs. She wiped the tears from her eyes, wrapped the stick in toilet paper and buried it at the bottom of the waste basket, she rinsed off her hands, and headed down the stairs, with a forced grin plastered on her face

**************

Dom had just settled down in the living room, with a Corona, when the guys came home. Dom sighed wearily, and headed out to the hall to see what was up.

"What's up?" Dom asked as Brian headed down the stairs to see what everyone was up to.

"Well," Vince started, "we found you a house"

"What for, I have a house." Dom stated.

"Not you Dom, him." Vince pointed at Brian.

"Seriously ? Thats great. How far away is it?" Brian had been looking for a bigger place for a while now for Mia and him. He knew Mia wanted to stay close to home, and they would both feel better with the team around.

"Get this its next door.!" Leon cut in.

"As I was saying, " Vince growled at Leon, "its next door. The daughter of the old lady who used to live there, put her in a Nursing home because she was too ill to live alone, and the daughter is trying to unload the place."

"That's great." Brian hugged Vince all manly like. "Let's go have a talk with her." With that the two headed out the door, to go talk to the daughter, the sooner Brian got the place the better.

"Well thats good, I'm gonna head back out to the.."Dom started but was cut off by Letty grabbing his arm.

"Hey Dom, can I talk to you for a sec?" Dom nodded, and followed her out to the garage. Aaliyah and Kel were about to go check on Mia but Leon and Jesse stopped them.

"Oh no, don't go yet." Leon started.

"Yah we got a surprise for you two." Jesse smiled mischieviously.

"For us?" Kel asked, confused.

"Yah, you two wait here, we'll be right back with it. It's waiting in the car." Kel and Aaliyah smiled brightly and waited patiently for the boys to return. Meanwhile out in the garage.

**************

"What's up Let?" Dom asked leaning against the bent-up Charger.

"I've been thinking a lot about you and me." She started, as she stood in front of him, gazing up into his dark eyes with her own.. Dom nodded for her to continue. "A lot has changed lately, and well I was thinking maybe you and me could give it another shot." Dom's jaw dropped, he hadn't expected her to say that. "Well..?" Letty pushed at him, imploringly.

"I don't know Letty, maybe we can...."Dom started but was cut off by the squeals of Aaliyah and Kel from the house, that sent him running again. Letty slammed her fist into Charger, and sighed loudly before heading back into the house.

"What's wrong?" Dom practically yelled, as he stomped into the house. Kel and Aaliyah weren't under attack, actually they were jumping up and down, alternatively hugging eachother and Jesse and Leon, who were standing back, greatly entertained by the happy, squealing girls.

"What the hell?" Dom asked, as the girls stopped and finally turned to him. He had barely gotten the words out when, he was attacked by a grey blur.

"Who with the what now?" Letty asked, walking in to see Dom get attacked.
