Not The Same: Chapter 20: Trust: Letty's POV:

I love taking long drives. It's very relaxing and calming. I've been driving for two hours now trying to calm myself down. It worked. I was thinking about all the shit that happened today. Dom and I were so happy then I found out that he has a son. With another woman! Sleeping with that slut was a mistake but having a baby wasn't. Babies are never a mistake. Under some circumstances they are but this is not one. Or maybe it is. I'm don't know. I feel like I don't know anything anymore. The only thing I do know is that no matter what, I will always love Dom. No matter how much of a dick he is, I will always love him. I have never been so close anyone before. I was afraid that if I ever did, they would leave me. Dom never did. He always stood by me and supported me. I remember when I was 18, I got in a huge fight with my mom. She told me I was worthless and pathetic. That I was a mistake. I couldn't take it anymore so I went to his house all pissed that I couldn't help but cry my ass off. He held me and whispered sweet things in my ear. He told me that I wasn't a mistake. That my mom was just talkin' shit. He told me that I was a miracle. Ever since then I knew that I could always count on him and know that he will always be here with me to support me, care for me and love me. And he always was.

Now that I was thinking about that, I softened a little. The team and I knew that Dom was my soft spot. If something happened to him, I would bring so much hell in that house it wouldn't be funny. I love Dom with all my heart but I don't know if I can ever trust him anymore. I should of let him explain before storming off but what the hell is there to explain? Maybe I should talk to him again. I sighed and made a U-turn and drove back home.

I parked in the driveway and got out of my 240. I opened the door and walked inside the house, stepping into the living room. I saw Dom sitting on the couch feeding a bottle to his son who was peacefully asleep. I couldn't help but soften a little. The scene before me was so loving and sweet. Dom looked up at me and placed his child on the couch putting a pillow under his head and a blanket over him. I walked up to him and wrapped my arms around his waist and gave him a little peck on the lips. "Let's talk. C'mon," I said taking his hand and leading him to the kitchen. I didn't want to wake up his son.

Dom hopped on the kitchen counter as I went to the freezer to get an ice pack. I walked over to him and stood in between his legs. I gently placed the ice pack on his left cheek where I backhanded him earlier. I held the ice as he squinted. "Sorry," I muttered.

"What are you sorry for?" he asked, "you didn't do anything wrong."

"No. I should of let you explain before storming off. So...explain."

"Letty, my son is not a mistake. I never ever regretted having him. I just regret having him with Monica and not you. Letty, I always wanted my first child to be with you. I think about our future a lot, you know? I think about if we ever will get married and have a little family of our own. Letty, I'm sorry but I love my son and if you can't accept that then..." Dom's voice trailed off. I smiled at him and kissed him softly still holding the ice pack to his cheek.

"I accept that. He is your kid. I can't blame you for loving him even though you had him with a whore. It's just...it's not your son that's bothering me too much. It's because you never told me you ever had a son. When were you gonna tell me?"

"I don't know. I was just afraid that if I ever told you, you would pack up and leave me again. I don't think I could handle that again."

"Dom, if you would've told me the truth then I wouldn't leave you 'cause atleast you were honest. Trust and honesty are the key things to making a relationship work other then loving eachother. If we don't have that then we won't work. Do you understand?"

He nodded.

"Do you trust me?"

He nodded.

"Do you love me?"

He nodded.

"Do you want to be with me forever?"

He nodded.

"Then be honest with me. You know what they say: Honesty is the best policy. Can you atleast try?"

"I'll try," he promised.

"That's all I'm asking," I said giving him a kiss.

"I love you," he smiled, "you make me so happy. You and my son."

"By the way, what's his name?"

"Andrew. We all call him Andy though."

"We?"

"The team and I....and Monica."

"Oh." I said getting a little pissed.

"Hey, I love you," Dom said putting on his puppy dog face as he wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me closer. I softened. I could never resist his puppy dog look. It was just too cute. We kissed for a little while until I broke away.

"You know Dom, I was thinking about our future too. I kind of even got names for our children. Well, atleast a name for a boy. I was hoping that you could name the girl."

"Oh really? Ok. What's our little boy's name gonna be? It better not be nerdy."

"It's not! I was going to name him Anthony. You know...after your dad."

"Anthony. Anthony Toretto. I like that," he smiled.

"It was going to be Anthony Dominic Toretto. I'm naming our little boy after the two most important men in my life," I smiled putting the ice pack down and snaked my arms around his waist.

"I love you, Letty."

"I love you, Dom."

"Always?" he asked.

"Always." I confirmed.
