(Dominic's POV)

When Mia told me that Letty and Leon were coming home, my stomach started to do flips. I got all nervous and shit, just like the time when Letty and I had sex for the first time. I still remember that day well. She was eighteen, and I was almost twenty-one. I had recently gotten home from prison, serving time for beating Kenny Linder into a retard. She looked so damn fine, in those ripped-to-shit low riders that practically showed her ass crack and tight red tank top that revealed her belly button. I knew it was time, and so did she. It was the best night of my life. I told her that I loved her and meant it.

At first I was angry that they were coming home.

"Why, Mia? Why are they suddenly coming home after not talking to us for a year and a fucking half?" I bellowed to Mia the night after she announced their little news to me.

"Dom, they were scared. They thought that they'd be turned in!" Mia snapped. She continued to stir the pasta that was simmering on the stove.

"For a year and a half?"

"Look, it's not easy for them. You put them in great danger, Dom, with your hijacking stunt. You should have listened to Letty when she told you it wasn't right and that you shouldn't be doing it without Jesse."

"Who told you that?" I demanded. "Did Letty?"

"No, Dom. You did, remember? When you were crying to me that night on the phone from Mexico?"

"Fuck, I just don't know if I'm ready to see her."

"Why, you've been crying all over her room and I even hear you talking to her! When is it gonna stop, Dom? Are you gonna be loony forever or just until someone snaps you out of it?"

"Fuck, no, I'm not gonna be loony forever. I want to see her so damn bad, but I'm not sure if I'm still angry with her for abandoning me, that's all."

"Dom, you love her. She loves you. It'll be fine." Mia walked over to me and kissed the top of my fuzzy head. She looked into my sad eyes.

"When you see her, for the first time, the love that you had for her when she left will all come flooding back, you wait and see." Mia went back to her pasta, leaving me at the kitchen table to bury my head in my hands and cry my heart out over Letty for the seven-hundredth time in nearly two years.

I was too lost in my sorrow to even notice the phone ringing ten minutes later. I heard Mia put down the spoon and walk across the kitchen to answer it.

"Hello, Toretto residence," Mia answered.

"Hey, Mia, how you livin' girl?" said a familiar but tired voice that sounded like they were talking in a tin can.

"Letty, hi! How are you guys? What's up with your phone?" My heart leapt at the sound of Letty's name.

"Fine, how about everyone over there? I dunno what's wrong with this damn thing."

"They're hungry, even though it's ten-thirty at night!" laughed Mia.

"Leon and I are hungry, too. Whaddya makin'?"

"Ravioli and tomato sauce. What are you and Leon gonna have? I remember you guys telling me that Big Kahuna place was pretty good." Mia began mixing the pasta with the sauce. She turned off the burners and put a lid on the ravioli pot.

"Well, we were hopin' we could catch some ravioli before it's all gone."

"What are you saying, Letty."

"Save some for us, we're at the airport!" I heard Letty squeal. Mia began screaming.

"OH, MY GOD! YOU GUYS ARE HERE! Why so soon!?" Mia cried.

"We cancelled the lease on our house, sold the stupid cars - well, gave one away to the airport parking lot - and, well, here we are." Letty sounded pretty proud of herself.

"Do you want someone to pick you guys up?" Mia wanted to know.

"That would be great," Letty said.

"Okay, I'll have Vince go and get you guys. Just hang tight until he gets there, okay?"

"Sure, we're at the United Airlines terminal and we have five boxes!"

"Okay, maybe I should go with him. I've got some room in the Integra," Mia said.

"So we'll see you guys soon?" asked Letty.

"Yeah. Oh, I'm so glad you guys are coming home!" Mia's lower lip began trembling.

"Us, too, Mi. See you later."

"Bye, Lett." The girls hung up. Mia turned to me, her tears spilling over. She must have been glad that the team would be together again at last. I turned away from her and got up.

"Where are you going, Dom?" She frowned and sniffled.

"To the garage. I have some shit do take care of," I growled. I grabbed my keys and went out the back door to our garage. A few seconds later, Mia heard me peel out of the driveway in the RX-7. Vince walked into the kitchen and found Mia crying. He wrapped her into a huge hug and kissed her forehead.

"Where's Dominic goin'?" Vince growled.

"To the garage, at freaking ten forty-five at night. He just found out that Letty and Leon are coming back tonight. We need to pick them up at the airport, okay? They have five boxes to bring back," said Mia, drying her tears on Vince's dirty wife beater.

"Today? So soon? Well, I guess so," Vince said, a little surprised at Letty and Leon's hastiness, but happy they were coming back so soon.

"Okay, let's go." With that, Mia and Vince grabbed their keys and roared off in the Maxima and the Integra.
