Before I start I just wanted to say thank so much for all the feed back.
It helps keep me writing so much !
"Surprise?" Dom asked looking away before stepping closer.
"Surprise? " he repeated his voice laced with sarcasm, and anger.
"When the hell where you going to tell us?"
Looking around at all the hurt expressions I felt almost guilty . I was down right shock when Jesse stood up to Dom.
"We just found out ourselves, hell were barley dealing with it , so what were we supposed to tell you?" he said putting his arm around me, and carefully leading me away from a gawking Brian.
"How are you feeling? Is everything ok with the baby? Did you get your pre- natals yet?" Mia asked going into doctor mode, making my head spin as I tried to come up with all the right answers.
"Mia," I said laying my and on her arm to calm her down." Everything is fine."
Turning in Jesse's arms I faced the person who's reaction mattered the most.
"Damn, I don't' even know what to say," Letty said walking closer. " You're gonna be an F'ing mom yo!" She said suddenly embracing me.
"Yes, I am ," I said shaking as I began to realize just what that meant. I knew you ended up being just like you're parents with your kids, most times, and I wanted to be nothing like ours.
"You won't be like her," Let said . Using that uncanny way she had of knowing exactly what I was thinking. It was times like this that I swore we should have been twins.
"But what if I am ?" I whispered low enough for only her to hear.
"Listen to me mija," she said d taking my hand, leading me away from the team, and from Jesse to talk alone.
"You may have her blood running through your veins, but you are nothing like that cold bitch." " I worried so much for you, because out of the two of use you had it the worst."
"You were so small, you couldn't just leave and get away like I could, and you were so shy, and quite then , never sticking up for yourself," She shook her head , and I knew she had been holding these feelings inside for a long time.
"But you were strong , Ladie, no matter what you never cracked, just keep going, and made it look easy to do , the beatings, your papi coming back, hell you were my rock at times."
"So now , you're telling me that you're gonna be a mami, and I kwo you will be great."
"Thank you," I said hugging her as the tears fell. Dam hormones! I thought . I guess in a way I had always worried that some part of my Mother would some day surface in me. I just wanted so much more for my children then I had had. They would never be afraid to go home cause Mami might be high, or have to hide bruises. They would never be afraid night to go to sleep at night for fear of someone slipping into their room that they would need to fight off.
I can still remember that day that made me and V's relationship. I was only ten when my Father decided to come back, and I was terrified of the man. He was loud, always drunk ,and the look in his eyes when they landed on me chilled me to the bone. I avoided him as much as possible, and tried to go unnoticeable. I knew there was something just not right with him.
He'd come in to my room that night, and I cried out as I tried to fight him off. It was no more than ten minutes later when the squeal of tires was followed by V who burt in pulling him away form me, and taking e into his arms. He was only 16 at the time , but big for his age. He carried me out , my Mothers screams following me out the door. I'd lived with the Torettos ever since; and now things were changing. It was time for the teams little girl to finally grow up. Cause let's face they were the one's who raised me . It was humbling to think I was going to have a little one of my own soon.
"Congradulations Dawg!" Leon said hugggn me as we came back in. I laughe das I hugged him back, only he could sound right using the word Dawg to a girl It was a relief to have everyone know, but at the same tie it was a curse. The guys watched me now, making sure I had my rest , never letting me work overtime; and asking me a million times a say if everything was ok.
A few months later .
I was four months pregnant and starting to show as I went with Dom, and Brian while they did some businesss with Harry. It was like an unspoken law that I had to be with at least two people from the team at all times. Rubbing my belly I looked at the newest Nos kits as they talked inside the office.
"Are we finally gonna hook up at Race wars? " asked a voice I had prayed I would never hear again.
"Lance I'm four months pregnant ,and married," I said placing my hands over my slight tummy as I looked around . Wanting Dom to walk out, but not to at the same time.
"Even like this you're still hot, maybe hotter, and I would certaintly take you ," he said licking his lips, and making me want to gag
"Just stay the hell away from me," I said backing up slowly as he continued to eye me up , and down. He was just a freak there was nothing attractive about an old pair of denims, and wife beater that was slightly curved outward by a buda belly.
"What's wrong ? "the boys asked as I suddently appeared in the office pale faced.
"Just saw Lance," I said shrugging.
"I' gonna freaking kill him I swear," Dom said walking to the door only to catch his back as he left the store.
"Let it be Dominic."I said trying to make him remember who we were around.
"My bad," he said coming over to kiss me on the fore head. A chill went down my spine as I thought about race wars, and Lance .Once again I knew things were going to go wrong.
"Surprise?" Dom asked looking away before stepping closer.
"Surprise? " he repeated his voice laced with sarcasm, and anger.
