The doctor looked like he was about to change his mind when Dom spoke, "Look Doc, just tell us."

He conceded, "Well, the bad news is that Ms. Rodriguez has 3 cracked ribs, a mild concussion, and she's suffering from Atypical depression."

The team looked like they were going to faint, but the doctor kept going, "The three cracked ribs were already injured but were almost healed, she hurt them again with the force of her fall. She hit the corner of the sink when she was falling so she was knocked out, the blow also cut her head. She told me that she had been feeling dizzy and tired for a long time. These are common symptoms of depression."

"What's the good news?" Brian asked.

"She'll be out in a few days, the concussion and the ribs will all heal pretty quickly, although she will need to take it easy for a few weeks. And the depression will pass soon enough, but she'll need some help coping."

Dom looked very troubled, "When can we see her?"

"Well, she was awake when I was examining her, but we gave her something for the pain and she fell asleep. Only one person can see her at a time. Try not to wake her. She definitely needs some rest. I'm going to give her a prescription for antidepressants. We want to keep her under observation for a little while, it'll be a good time for her to rest too."

"I want to see her," was all that Dominic said. The doctor nodded and the nurse motioned for Dom to follow him. Dominic followed the nurse into a private room.

He saw Letty sleeping with her head bandaged, she looked so frail and helpless, he wanted to hug her and never let her go, for fear she would fade away if he did. However, he kept himself from it, not wanting to wake her.

Instead he went to the chair at her bedside, sat down, and gently stroked her cheek. "Letty don't ever scare me like that again. I don't know what I would do without you," he whispered.

Letty stirred, and Dom stopped moving, he still didn't want to wake her. He layed his head next to her gently and prayed silently. God, you know I have never really asked for much from you. But the only thing I ask now, is for you to watch over my baby. Please God, don't take her away from me. Please. I've already lost someone important to me, don't make me lose another part of my family.

Dominic fell asleep next to Letty, it was already late and he was really tired. He was awoken by a light tap on the door. The team stood there quietly, all of them wanting to see Letty.

He got up as quietly as possible and walked to the door. They knew that they didn't have much time because Dominic wanted to be with Letty so they hurried.

Jesse went in first, he sat on the chair next to her bed and gently took her hand. "Hey big sis," he crooned, choking back tears, "You better get well soon Let. You know I'll always be here when you need me, right?" It was more of a statement than a question. Before he left he added, "I love you, you're one of the few people I can really talk to." He let go of her hand, kissed her cheek and walked out.

Mia walked in next, she gently put Letty's hair away from her face and took her hand. "Girl, you gave us a good scare there you know," she whispered hoarsely. Then she added, "I'm here for you Let, always," and she walked away.

Leon came in after her, "Hey baby girl," he said while taking her small hand into his big one. "You get better ok? The house would seem empty without you and Dom yellin' up a storm." He laughed a little, "Love ya girl." He got up and left.

Then it was Brian's turn, and he walked up to the bed awkwardly. "You know Letty," he started, "I never really got a chance to get close to you, but lemme tell you, I don't think I could get used to you not being around. All of you are my family, and I don't want the only family I have to lose another member. Get better Let, I'm always here for you." He got up and kissed her forehead.

Brian walked out to the hallway with the others, and Dom nodded for them to sit down in the chairs that were there.

"Look, it's been a long ass day, why don't you guys go home and get some sleep?" he said, more as a statement than a question.

They nodded, the guys went ahead and Mia stayed behind to talk to Dom. "You're gonna stay here?" she asked, already knowing the answer. Dominic nodded. "Take care of her for me ok?" Dominic nodded again, Mia hugged him and left to catch up with the guys.

Dominic walked into the room again and went to sit on one of those hospital armchair/bed things. It was on the other side of her bed, and he made with way quietly over to it.

Dom watched Letty sleep for a long time. He though about all the time they shared together. He had always loved her, yet his dumb ass never wanted to admit it. He thought about her for a long time. He didn't know when he started to cry, he didn't know when he fell asleep holding her hand. But the next morning he woke up and Letty was the one watching him.

"Mornin' baby," she said.

"Morning," he replied. "How are you feelin' Let?"

"Like a bus ran over me then decided to back up and run me over a few more times," she laughed, but flinched at the pain it caused her and immediately stopped.

Dominic caught this and quickly got to her side, "You need anything baby?"

"No I'm fine," she answered.

"You scared us pretty bad last night."

She nodded, "When am I gonna be able to leave?"

"The doctor said in a few days."

She jumped, "A few days?!?" she yelled. Letty quickly regretted it when she felt the stabbing pain in both her ribs and her head. She groaned.

"Let, baby, don't do that, you're hurting yourself."

"It's just that I wanna go home Dom. You know how much I hate hospitals."

"I know baby, but the doc said that they need to keep you here for observation."

Letty groaned, "Fine, so what did the doc say was wrong with me?"

Dominic almost fell out of his chair, "You don't know?"

"Well I know that my head hurts like a motha, and I obviously fucked up my ribs, but that's about it.  Did he say why I was dizzy and tired?"

Letty looked at Dom questioningly, he felt like his heart was going to break into a million pieces, she looked so lost.

He finally answered her, "He said that you have a mild concussion from hitting your head, you have 3 cracked ribs, and you're suffering from Atypical depression."

Letty's face looked troubled, but she nodded and said, "Oh…ok."

"He's gonna give you a prescription for antidepressants," he added quietly.

Letty nodded again, it was quiet for a while and then she spoke, "Dom?"

"Yeah?"

"I really miss Vince."

Dominic stayed silent, he knew she was ready to talk.

Ok guys, I know this chapter was really short and kinda crappy, but I needed a cliff hanger to stop at. (I know I'm evil, lol.) Oh yea, the depression thing was actually planned from the beginning. I was tired of the 'someone get pregnant' bit so I changed it. I hope those who actually suffer from depression don't take offense I know it's a serious problem and it will be treated that way in my fic. I hope you guys come back for more. It's the same deal as last time-no reviews, no continuation. I wanna give a special thanx to Cindy for leaving all those great reviews. And to anyone else who read my story. Thanx for the support! =)
