By the way I don't own any of the characters in this story except for the ones I make up on my own!

Chapter 2

Dom looked down the hall, he was told to come to the emergency room and he didn't like the sound of that. He went to the front desk and asked where he could find Dani Toretto. He didn't know if the team was behind him, he didn't care.

Ms. Cauffman met him infront of the door to Dani's room. "Mr. Toretto," she smiled.

"Ms. Cauffman," He smiled back but tried to get through and she stopped him by putting a hand on his chest lightly.

"Dominic watch what you say to her. She has had a hard time. Dani will explain everything, but it is safe to let you know that she isn't going back in foster care." She said.

"What happened? Is she alright? And why isn't she going back?" He didn't look into her eyes or talk to her face the whole time, he kept glancing over her shoulder at what he could see of his sister's bed.

"She's fine, she is going to be sore, but she's fine. Why don't you and Mia go talk to her and then I'll give you more details, hmm?" She said and walked to the waiting room.

Mia was right behind Dom, which he didn't notice. He asked the rest of the group to stay outside. It was a Toretto family meeting. They knew and walked into the waiting room. Mia grabbed Dom's hand and was surprised that he took it as they walked into the room.

There she laid asleep. The youngest Toretto that they hadn't seen in 3 years. She had been in foster care for 7 since Dom went into jail. She was 16 now and Dom and Mia couldn't believe their eyes of how much she had grown, they also couldn't believe the bruises they saw on her face. They didn't have to wander, they knew. That son-of-a-bitch family she was staying with did this to her, Dom took a deep breath and squeezed Mia's hand. Mia looked at her brother, praying that he wouldn't let his temper get to him. He walked over to the bed and laid his hand upon Dani's cheek. She stirred and then opened her eyes slowly, well one eye since the other one was swollen shut.

"Dom?" Was all she said, and was glad to see her brother smiled back.

"Hey cupcake," He smiled.

"I told you I hate that name." She smiled back

"Yep she's okay," Mia smiled.

"Mia," a broader smile came upon Dani's face.

"How you feeling sweetheart?" Her sister asked her.

"Like shit, I hate these damned drugs they give me for the pain they make me sleepy, otherwise I'm okay especially since Ms. Cauffman said I get to come and live with you again, if you would like me." Dani said.

"If we would like--" Dom came was shocked. "Why wouldn't we like you to, we have been waiting for this day for 7 years." He smiled at Mia who almost started crying at the news.

"Where's the team? Are you guys still doing okay?" She looked around.

"They are right outside, you up for some visitors?" Mia asked.

"Hell yeah," Dani smiled.

"We are going to go and get everything settled with Ms. Cauffman, we'll ask the team to come in. It's good to see you, il mio bambino(my baby)" Dom said as he kissed her on the forehead and left. Mia did the same.

The two walked out without saying a word. As they walked out to the team sitting in the waiting room their conversation diminised immediately as they all stood up.

"Is she alright?" Letty asked walking over to Dom grabbing his hand.

"Yeah she's fine." He nodded and kissed her on the forehead.

"In fact, the first thing she asked for was you guys," Mia smiled at them as they smiled back. "Well what are you waiting for, go see her." She jerked her head towards the room as they all came to their senses and were happy to know they got to go see her.

Brian was following when Mia stopped him. "What?"

"Not the time Bri, wait okay, you're new, she gets nervous around new people." She smiled. He nodded agreeing and then said he was going to go get some coffee and have a cigarrette while they talk to Ms. Cauffman.

The two sat nervously as the social worker spoke. "The couple she was with wasn't the best. Yet they cleared for her to be put with them. They seemed nice and were happy to take on a child since they had lost their own. We did not know it was a publicity stunt, we thought since they were strict people they would be good for her. We also did not know that Mr. Cohan was an alcoholic, and a coke user. By the time we figured it out it was too late. We were on our way to arrest him and we had got the call on the way there about a domestic dispute. When we got there we found her at the bottom of the stairs he had pushed her down them after beating her." Ms. Cauffman lowered her head. "I'm so sorry you two that she had to go through this. We do screen very well and this rarely happens and we don't like it. That is why I decided to give her back to you. She is 16 and you all are clear of any records as far as we know. Dom we know you and your friends are on probation after the heist incident, and I had to beg the authorities to let her stay with you. When staying with you, you must give her a curfew, she must not get into any big trouble, you must stay clean of criminal acts. This is a trial basis for the both of you. She must not skip school, her grades must come up, no drinking, no parties that affect her if it is a school night. Do I make myself clear to the both of you?"

Dom clinched his fist, first she was sorry then she was acting like him and Mia were the bad guys. He took a deep breath to calm him down for the 5 time that day and looked at Mia who nodded and then he nodded. They signed the papers and then got up and went to see their sister again. An empty piece in their souls had been filled again, and nothing could change that.

"Look at your battle wounds kid, did the other one look worse?" Vince was joking with her as Mia and Dom walked in. The whole team was crowded around her.

"Yeah, I'm pretty sure he isn't breathing anymore," Dani smiled back.

"Hey give my bambino some space, heh?" He came over and kissed Dani on the forehead again.

They were all talking and chattering like old times, everyone was happy. Brian could hear the commotion outside the door. As he looked inside and the crowd was moving he could see the girls face. Mia turned around and saw him and smiled. Dani noticed this and looked at the door. She knew him!

"Brian?" She said loud enough so the team stopped talking and looked at him.
