Chapter 9
After the blood test Gracie walked around in a daze. She was scared about the results. She was almost positive that Little Mia was Dominic's but she wasn't sure. Gracie couldn't picture her daughter having any other father than Dominic. She felt terrible about that she let this situation happen. The doctor said that the results would come back in a week and this was a week exactly from the blood test. Gracie waited for the mail all day.
Dominic wasn't doing much better. He wished and prayed with all his heart that Little Mia was his. He wouldn't love her any less if she wasn't, she would still always be his daughter to him, but if she wasn't his by blood that meant someone else was her father. This wasn't something that Dominic was ready to handle. The mere thought of this either sent him into frenzy or he got sick over it. He was determined that Little Mia was his no matter what any doctor said. He was willing to do anything necessary to keep her; he wasn't about to let Adam take her away from him. Dominic was the one who had raised her, so as far as he was concerned he WAS her real father, Adam couldn't show up and a week later be Little Mia's father. Dominic was really fired up over this. He waited for the mail all day.
During this entire ordeal, Little Mia was at Marlena's house. As far as she knew, her "happy family" was off on a beach somewhere basking in the sun and was going to bring her back wonderful presents when they came home. Obviously she couldn't have been more wrong. She had no idea that at home there was a silent war being fought over her and that when she finally did come home, she might come home to a new daddy, one she had never met in her entire life, but still the same was her father.
The team walked on eggshells. They didn't want to do anything that was going to piss Dom off. He was already going through a lot of shit that he didn't need to and it was all because he loved Gracie with all his heart. They did mostly everything around the garage trying to ease the stress on him. None of them could believe the things that Gracie had done to him, but then the remembered that Gracie had been young when she cheated on Dom and at that time none of them thought that they should be together. They thought that Gracie was too young to know what love really was and that Dominic just wanted to believe what she felt for him was real love because he loved her with everything he had. The entire experience to them began to seem unreal, and they wished it were.
The wedding had been postponed. The day the test results were due to come back was the day that Dominic and Gracie were supposed to be getting married. The situation over Little Mia was too hectic to have the wedding put in at the same time. Leon, Jesse and Vince weren't even sure if the two were still going to get married. But Letty and Mia, being women were convinced that love would prevail and that the marriage would still take place. Gracie knew that she wanted to marry Dominic, but Dominic wasn't so sure about Gracie now. It seemed that there was a lot that he didn't know about her and that scared him, as it would scare anyone else. He was now seeing a whole new side to her that had never come out before. This woman had caused him more pain in the past two weeks than he ever had felt in his entire life. Dominic wasn't sure if he was ready for a lifetime full of surprises as much as he loved Gracie, the trust was beginning to fade away.
Mia and Jesse were sitting at the table when the mail truck pulled up.
"Oh shit here we go..."Jesse said as he looked out the window.
Mia reached across the table and took Jesse's hands in hers.
"It's going to be alright no matter what." She told him.
Jesse nodded his head but his eyes remained focused on what was going on outside the window. It seemed like the mailman took longer to get to the mailbox today than he ever had before. By the time he had dropped the mail into the box it felt like two eternity's had passed. As the mailman traveled across the lawn and back to his truck Mia and Jesse starred at each other. Finally Jesse got up and walked outside to the small black mailbox that hung against the house. He reached in and picked up the pile of mail that had just been dropped off.
Jesse walked into the house and slowly sorted the mail. He created a pile for himself, Letty, Mia, Vince, Leon, Dominic and Gracie and then there was the final envelope.
"Angel Memorial Hospital" was the return address. He silently placed it on the table and he and Mia starred at it.
At this time Gracie and Dominic walked into the room and saw what they were looking at. They looked at each other for a few minutes and then Dominic finally picked up the envelope.
"I wanna be alone for this ok?" Dominic said as he looked at Gracie. She nodded.
Dominic walked into the living room and sat on the couch. He turned the envelope over in his hands debating on whether to open it or burn it. Finally he took a deep breath and opened the letter.
He skipped over all the crap written at the top and looked directly at the bottom.
Adam Taring: 98%
Dominic Toretto: 0%
We have concluded that there is no possible way for Dominic Toretto to be the father of Mia Vincenza Toretto.
Dominic couldn't believe what he was reading. Little Mia wasn't his daughter. He thought about her face, and he realized there was nothing about her that looked like him. Maybe he only thought she had his nose, he had just wanted to see it or something, she looked almost exactly like her mother.
He was devastated. He got up and walked slowly back into the kitchen. By this time the whole team had gathered silently into the kitchen and were waiting with their own thoughts. They all gazed up at him and stood up when Dominic entered the room. He looked at all of them one by one and then stopped on Gracie. She knew without him telling her what the letter said. Little Mia was Adam's. She burst into tears and ran up the stairs. The whole team stood in shock, had this really just happened?
"Guys help me." Dominic said as he crashed to the floor and burst into the most tears he had ever cried in his entire life. All the emotion he had kept bottled inside of him flowed out of his body. The thing he loved the most in his life wasn't even really his.
The whole team gathered by his side. They to had started crying. None of them cared how they looked, the guys didn't even care that it wasn't manly to cry. The team cried together for the pain their best friend was feeling. He had been the best father to Little Mia, he did more for her than anyone could ever ask for, and now he had found out that she wasn't even his. Dominic still loved her no matter what, but Adam was really her father. Dom wanted more than anything to know that he personally was responsible for the life of Little Mia and it broke his heart knowing that he wasn't.
No one knew what to do. The team lie in a heap on the floor in tears while Gracie was upstairs in the shower drowning her own. Everything was crashing down for her; nothing was the way it was supposed to be. Little Mia was supposed to be Dominic's little girl, not Adams! She couldn't believe that her mistakes had caused so much pain for the other people in her life. Gracie didn't know anything that couldn't make up for the hurt she had brought upon the people she loved, especially Dominic. Little Mia was the most important person in his whole world, and now he knew that she wasn't really his. Dominic had raised a little girl who was someone else's baby.
Finally down in the kitchen Letty stirred. She stood up and wiped the tears from her face.
"This isn't right. This is going to stop now." Letty said sternly to the rest of the group.
They all paused from their tears with the exception of Dominic and looked up at her.
"Dominic, Little Mia's your kid no matter what. You're keeping her. That little girl is named after your sister and your best friend! How is Adam connected to her now? He may have helped give her life but you are the reason she is still alive! You have taken care of her since the moment she was born! I'm not going to let anyone, especially not this asshole take her from you!" Letty yelled.
And right there and then, Letty started a revolution that was about to change things for everyone.
