The morning slowly crept onto the Toretto home, the inhabitants slowly stirring to the waking world. Mia, Dom, and Brian are the first to wake, Mia in the kitchen starting breakfast as Brian sips coffee and Dom reads the paper. Slowly the rest of the team enters the kitchen smelling the cooking breakfast, all grabbing a cup of coffee and mumbling their good mornings. The table is set and the cooking is done, they start eating at 7:30. After grace the team starts to eat and chatter is hear around the table. A while later the room goes quiet and Dom raises his head to see what's wrong, he sees Julia in the doorway looking extremely uncomfortable. Those who had not seen her since the week before were shocked to see her in such a battered state. Mia rushes to her side,

"Hey, did you sleep well?" All attention is focused on Julia and she feels extremely awkward at their stares.

"Ummmm... Yeah I did, thanks for taking care of me Mia, I mean you know yesterday and um... You too..." she says while she looks towards Dom through her curtain of hair that hides her face.

"It's fine, come on lets get you a place to sit and something for you to eat." Mia walks with her hand gently grasping Julia's elbow and steers her towards the table as a seat is placed between her and Dom. Mia goes and get her a plate, some coffee and silverware as Julia slowly sits down, grimacing from the pain of the bruises on her body. Everyone notices the pained look on the girl's face and shoots her worried glances.

"Uum.. I'm ok, it's... Well it's not so bad..." Julia quietly states when she looks up from her seat and sees the worried looks all etched on the others' faces. Mia places some food in front of her, and the team watches in amazement as she does the sign of the cross and sees her lips move as she quietly says a prayer to herself. Those closest to her, Dom and Mia were the only ones that could hear her small prayer to God.

"In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. God thank you for the meal I am about to receive for it will nourish my tired body. For I know others are not as fortunate as I and I thank you so very much for allowing me to have people in this world who worry about me. Thank you for sending the Torrettos my way. I also pray for my parents for I hope they have eaten their own meal this morning. Amen. In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit." Tears have coursed down Julia's face as she says her prayer and as she finishes she wipes away her tears and starts to eat. Both Dom and Mia are grateful to hear her small prayer even if it they weren't meant to because it showed them how deep her kindness was. The rest of the team could only look on with faces of awe as she prayed and cried. After the initial silence was over the others began to eat . The room once again became quiet when Dom asked Julia a question trying to bring her into the conversation, "I didn't know you were Catholic."

"Oh, yeah I... I... Pray before I eat... Ummm my grandpa always said I shouldn't be ashamed of my faith... and that no matter where I was I should pray... Huh..... Even... Even when I'm not home."

"That's good my mami always said that to me too." Letty interjects with a bright smile, trying to get one out of the quiet girl, Julia gives back a small smile to them all.

"I didn't know there were asian catholics, I thought that you were all Buddhist." Vince said with a question in his voice, not said unkindly but more with curiosity.

"Ummm... Well you know about missionaries... Well the missionaries... Umm they converted a lot of us...you know..." Julia answered back quietly, her not knowing if her answer was sufficient enough.

"Cool," is the only reply she gets from Vince as he starts to eat ferociously again and Julia takes a bite of toast and sips some coffee.

"Errr... Julia?" She looks up at the occupant of the voice and sees Jesse.

"Ummm, yes?"

"This is a stupid question.... But are you like part hispanic or something? I mean 'cuz your hair is curly and your kinda uhhhhhhh curvy and shiiii......." Jesse gets a jab in the ribs from Leon who was trying to make the younger man not embarrass Julia further.

Turning several shades of red and with her hair falling over her face she answers the question even though it makes her feel awkward beyond belief.

"Oh...I... No, both my parents are from South Korea... Uhhh my mother says my hair, my hair is like my great grandmother's... Everyone thinks I'm mixed though."

"Woah, that's cool. Curly haired/curvey asian chick." Which got a jab in the ribs from both Leon and Letty this time,trying to save her before she died of embarrassment or too much blood flowing to her cheeks. Trying to draw attention from her Mia asks about what's happening at the garage, the conversations between the team strikes up as they all answer and talk amongst themselves. Julia gives Mia a grateful smile and starts to drink some more coffee, slowly eating her toast because her mouth hurts from the blows her mother placed on her. After finishing her coffee she gently puts her arm on Mia's to catch her attention.

"Do you think the professors will mind if I don't go in for a while, I don't think I should go in like this."

"Yeah, I'll tell your professors that you won't be able to make the classes for about a week okay. I'm sure they'll understand since you're one of the best students."

Blushing from the compliment, "Ummm, ok I can give you my program. I think you'll need it since you don't know all my professors and their rooms. I'll go get it for you." Julia gets up and makes her way out the dining room and up the stairs to her room. Once Julia is up the stairs conversation turns to her.

"Damn... I didn't think it would be that bad," Letty states in astonishment. "I mean... Damn. And she's so nice to you know. Even if she is all quiet and shit."

"So I'm thinking the chick is going to be staying with us for a while." Vince states "And I sure as hell don't have a problem with it if anyone else doesn't."

"Nah, brother I couldn't stand the idea of her getting beat more than she has," Leon says while grasping Letty's hand in his, Letty squeezing his back in agreement.

"Sure, we have room. I...hmmm...I don't want her to leave too," Jesse says to the group, voicing his thoughts.

"Well the rest of the group just about said everything I was going to," Brian says.

"All right, then she's staying," Mia says after hearing all the other's agreement, even though she would have force everyone to agree if they hadn't allowed Julia to stay. However, she knew after seeing Julia none of the team would have been able to refuse Julia staying in the Toretto's home.
