Part 4

Jenny's POV:

I offered Leon a beer and sat down on the couch in my living room. " When did you get in to Tecolutla?" I asked him.

He took a long grateful drink and smiled at me. " Last night, I got in around 3a.m. driving in from Mexico City. Thank you very much for this."

" No problem. You must be exhausted from all that driving. Why did you come out this way?"

" I talked to my friend Mia and she said that Letty was in this area."

" Like I said she was up until a week ago." I sighed. " I don't know about Letty, but Dom is due back here in two days."

" You've seen Dom?!?" He sat up straighter.

" Yeah, he came through here three days ago.  I made him promise to come back in five days, so I could help him look for Letty."

" He was here?"

I nodded and motioned for him to follow me. I led him into my gallery and moved him in front of the pictures of Letty. " He was right here."

" Funny." He rolled his eyes and looked around the room. " Did you really make all this stuff?"

" Yeah." I smiled and unveiled the picture the third picture of Letty.

" She looks so gentle. That ain't like her." Leon examined the picture more closely. " Is she supposed to be pregnant in this picture?"

'Three, two, one.' I though bemused as he started adding everything up in his head. I couldn't help but smile I could practically see the wheels turning in there.

" Holy shit! She really was pregnant!" He yipped.

I laughed out loud. " Yeah that would be true." I handed him the Christmas picture I had of us. " I take it that no one knew before you guys got split up."

" No, none of us; not even her."

" Well on the advantage, when she finds Dom she won't have to go through the awkward honey-guess-what conversation."

Leon laughed and rubbed the back of his head. " Always look on the bright side?"

" I try." I winked and caught him looking at me. " I'm too old for ya darlin'."

" I didn't say anything."

" You were thinkin' it."

" You're awfully sure of yourself."

" I'm an artist, it's an occupational hazard." I smiled and jumped as my front day opened. " Hang on a sec." I told Leon and called out to the visitor. " I'm coming."

I rounded the corner and shrieked in delight. " Oh my god you found her! Letty I'm so glad you see ya; I'm gonna kill ya!" I hugged her tightly and laughed out loud.

" I can't breath, bitch." She complained but hugged me back.

" Leon!" Dom thundered over our heads.

I quickly backed out the way and let the reunion commence without an outsider getting in the way.

" Shit Letty! You're gonna be a momma!" Leon whopped and hugged her.

" It was a big surprise to me." Dom announced.

" I'm sure it was." Leon laughed.

" I wasn't exactly writing it into my planner." Letty complained half-heartedly.

I laughed, " Children are never planned. Come on I want to show you something." I motioned for her to follow me.  We walked up the ramp towards the second floor.

" Where are we going?" Letty asked.

" Into your room." I smiled and opened the door.

The four of us walked into the room and Letty gasped at the boxes. She touched the top of one of them and a soft smile crossed over her features. " When did it get here?"

" The day you left." I complained. " Of course you left before dawn and I didn't hear you. How did you manage that?"

" I walked down the ramp instead of taking the stairs." She answered still looking over the boxes.

" Damn ramp. I'm gonna kick Li-Chi's ass next time I see her." I put my hands on my hips.

" Who's Leche?" Dom asked.

" No it's Lee-che.  She's my best friend and she can't walk, so when I designed my house I put in the ramp." I walked over and knelt next to Letty. " It's all there."

" I know." She smiled again.

" What is all this?" Leon couldn't help ask.

" My nursery." Letty grinned and pointed to the picture on the biggest box. " See, that's the crib."

Dom leaned over her and looked at the picture. " It's beautiful." He kissed her temple.

Letty snapped her fingers. " Wait isn't Lee, Morgan's middle name?"

" Yep. Named after Li-Chi or Lees as I normally called her.  She stayed with me in the hospital, when Morgan was born."

" Your husband didn't stay with you?!?" Letty curled up her lip. " That bastard."

" Well he was with me until the breech."

" Breech? There's another baby term I don't know." Letty smirked.

" A breech is when the baby can't be born naturally because it's too big for the mother. We though Morgan would be okay, but after fourteen hours…"

" Fourteen hours! What the fuck! I'm gonna be in labor for fourteen hours!" Letty yelped.

" It's possible most first time births are long, but not always. It just depends on the mother and child." I offered.

" Oh fuck." She rubbed over her eyebrow. " Anyways, you were saying."

I laughed, " Yeah after fourteen hours I tried to deliver him, but his shoulders were too broad, so I had an emergency caesarian section. Lees stayed with me. Funny thing is that we Morgan was gonna be a girl. So we had the name Cynthia Morgan picked out and that wasn't gonna work."

" How do they do that, caesarian thing?" Leon questioned me.

I sighed and pulled my shirt up to show off the scar that ran down my stomach. "Slice and dice."

" Did it hurt?" He asked me quietly.

" Not at the time. They had me so drugged up I couldn't feel my lower half. Now later I couldn't walk and I could barely stand. But Morgan was okay and that was all I cared about." I rolled down my shirt. " He was born blue, because he hadn't had any oxygen, but the doctors brought him back."

" So you named him after your friend because she stayed with you." Letty offered.

" Yes I did. She got in an accident after Morgan was born and lost the use of her legs. She took Morgan's first baby pictures. Hey come on let's go downstairs and get something to drink." I motioned for them to follow me.

Dom's POV:

I stretched again and yawned as I walked out of the bathroom and into Letty and my bedroom. I looked down at Letty, who was still sleeping her hand curled under her chin and a serene expression on her face.  I got dressed and kissed her temple before walking down to the kitchen.

Jenny was already up, dressed and making breakfast. " Morning." She greeted me with a chipper tone that I knew was going to take some getting used to.

" Morning." I echoed as she handed me a cup of coffee. " Thank you."

" You're welcome." She flipped the pancakes and picked up her own cup. "Letty still asleep?"

" Yeah." I answered and looked up as Leon stumbled into the kitchen.

" Whoa." I heard Jenny mutter under her breath at Leon's wasted look.

" Coffee." He mumbled.

" Here you are. Good morning." Jenny smiled and handed him a cup.

Leon muttered something about 'damn morning people' and thumped down in the chair next to me.

This had pretty much been our pattern for the last week. Jenny had opened her house to the three of us without a second thought.  The house was deceiving since it had the strange octagon shape I figured the room would be small and oddly shaped but they weren't at all.

After walking through the house a few times I noticed that there were three stories and a basement/storm-cellar, two staircases, one ramp, which went all the way to the third story. The first floor was the oddest: the front and main galleries were in the front, followed by the actual living room and a library; the back consisted of the kitchen and the studio, where Jenny spent the majority of her time.

The second floor was more like a hotel: fifteen rooms in all and fifteen bathrooms to go with them.  Until last week the only people that lived her full time were Jenny and Morgan, the rooms were all for guests. Jenny obviously wasn't hurting for space. The third floor was for entertaining: it was almost all windows; it was one room, a banquet hall or something like that.

I wasn't used to living in someone else's house. It made me feel like a free loader half the time, of course the other half I too busy doing projects that Jenny asked me to help with.

Of course the last surprise had been the huge dog that Jenny owned.  Now the point of this German Shepard mix was to protect Morgan, but Corpus, as he was named, was a big baby. I doubt that dog would hurt anyone if his life depended on it.

I jumped as fingers snapped in front of my face.

" You in there?" Leon asked.

" Yeah sorry, just thinking." I looked at him, then at Jenny. " I miss something?"

Jenny laughed, " You poor night people." She put a plate of food in front of both of us and went back to sawing on her grapefruit. " I was saying that my friend Rico is ready to meet with you two today."

" Finally. What the Hell took so long?" Leon complained.

" Culture clash, my friend." Jenny sighed. " See people here move at there own pace and no one can hurry them up; I learned that fast. In the States you get ahead half on who you know and half on your own skill; here it's all in who you know."

" That's why you have a Mexican driver's license?" Leon asked.

" I passed the test." She laughed. " But yeah the major helped me out a bit. So you guys learn any of that Spanish yet?"

We both looked the other way, causing Jenny roll her eyes. " Wonderful we'll have to wait until this afternoon to go down there so I can translate."

" Oh that's right the midwife's coming this morning." I polished off the last of my breakfast.

" Yup at ten. So, it would be very helpful if you could wake Letty up pretty soon. That way she has time to wake-up and the battle of the wills begins again." Jenny cleared the plates and looked up at Morgan as he came thundering down the stairs. " Good morning, Morgan. How's my Hero doing?"

" I don't wanna go to school!" He announced.

Jenny arched her eyebrow at he son and sighed. " That's fine, but you're still going."

Morgan huffed and crashed down in a chair.

Jenny set a plate down in front of him. " Here's your breakfast and your juice."

Morgan pushed the juice away and looked at me. " I want coffee."

" No you don't." Jenny laughed.

" Yes I do." He scowled.

" Okay." Jenny poured another cup of coffee and set it in front of her son. "It's hot."

Morgan took a couple sips and made a face, before looking at me and smiling. "Good morning."

" Morning." I smiled back and ruffled his hair.

He smiled at Leon and waved.

 Leon managed a half smiled than stared back at the table.

Morgan started eating his breakfast occasionally lodging another complaint about going to school.

Jenny finally folded her arms over her chest. " Morgan Lee O'Connor, you are going to school and that is finally."

" I hate you." He screeched and ran out of the kitchen.

I stood up to chase him, but Jenny stopped me.

" Don't; I have to handle it." She was half way out the door, when she looked at me and winked. " Doesn't this make you excited to have kids?"

I sighed and walked back upstairs to wake up Letty. I walked through the open door and looked at Letty who was sitting up rubbing her eyes. I sat down on the bed next to her and touched her cheek. " Good morning. How you feeling?"

She made a face and blinked her eyes, before rest her hands on her stomach.  She cleared her throat and managed a sleepy smile. " Morning. I'm hungry."

" That's good." I smiled.

" I want coffee." She complained.

" No coffee!" Jenny barked from the hallway as she walked by our door.

Letty scowled and sighed. " Okay time to get up." She struggled as she stood up and I carefully steadied her. " Thanks."

" No problem, Mommy." I kissed her temple.

She smiled and was about to say something, when Morgan started screaming in pain.

I could hear him screaming and yelling, but I could make out was a very loud, "Mommy!"

I ran out into the hallway just as Jenny came flying around the corner.  We nearly collided, but I moved against the wall at the last second. Jenny raced into Morgan's room and rushed out a second later carrying him.

" Is he okay?" I asked.

Jenny held a towel against Morgan's head. " Hold that there, Morgan." He whimpered as he put pressure on the towel. " I know it hurts, Hun. I'm sorry."

" What happened?" Letty asked from the doorway.

Jenny sifted Morgan on her shoulder. " Did you leave your bedroom door open?" She demanded.

" Yeah."

" When I get back from hospital, we're gonna have a long talk about your personal grooming appliances." She snapped.

" What the Hell are you talking about?" I growled as we raced down the stairs.

" Your damn straight razor ass hole!" She raced into the kitchen. " Leon, get up and grab a set of keys and my purse, we've got to get a hospital."

Leon jumped up and raced to the front of the house.

" Don't…" I started.

" No!" She yelled. " This is my house and my son is hurt. I will talk to you when I get back. Stay here and wait for Rosemary."

" Jen, I got it." Leon called from the doorway.

Jenny ran out behind Leon cradling Morgan.
