Hello again, I just wanted to say that I'm really sorry that it took so long to put up the last chapter, but fanfiction.net decided to lock my account since I didn't take off Double Trouble, so I couldn't post it till 9/21 which I did. J Anyway, I hope you enjoy this chapter, and I have the next few years planned out for this story, lol. I guarantee you won't be disappointed. Enjoy!

Dominic hurried to catch her before she fell on the pavement, he was there in an instant. "Letty, Letty, baby, are you okay?" he asked urgently, while shaking her body gently.
Letty stirred, "Ughh……ummg…Dom what happened?" she said groggily.
"I don't know Let, you were getting into the car and you just blacked out. Have you been taking your meds?" he asked with a very serious face.
"Yeah, but they get me woozy and shit. I hate them."
"Then we'll ask Sandy if she can lower your dosage. Imagine what woulda happened if you were alone."
"Dom it's not that serious, just let me—"
"No Letty! It is that serious. I don't know what I would do if anything happened to you again. I would never forgive myself!"
"But Dom—"
"No, but nothing," he interrupted, and Letty knew that was the end of it.
She got into the car grumbling about how he was being totally unfair and that this was totally unnecessary. Dom made sure she was completely ok, and comfortable, before he went to the other side of the car and got in. They drove home in a calm silence, which was unusual because usually silence between them was tense and uneasy. This was a welcomed change.

"Leon gimme the damn remote!" Jesse yelled.
"No! I wanna watch 'Mujeres en Bikinis'!" Leon answered.
"You've been watching that crap all freakin' morning! Lemme watch racing on the big screen now! It's my turn!" he whined.
"This is not the only TV in the house Jesse!"
"No but it's the biggest and you've been hogging it!"
Jesse and Leon had been fighting for the remote for half and hour. Ten minutes into their fight, Mia and Brian had snuck away to their bedroom.
*******************************************************************
"Brian I wanna go back to school," Mia sighed.
"Why don't you tell Dom? I'm sure he won't object." Brian replied.
"Yeah but he's gonna say it's too dangerous, since…you know…the police are looking for us," she told him with a thoughtful look.
"Well you can just change your name Mia. What's your middle name?"
"Ummmm, it's Naiya," she answered.
"That's a beautiful name Mia. All you have to do is pick a random last name and you're set."
"Let's see…I was reading this book and the girl's last name was Belle. I really like it. I think I'll use that," she said beaming. "I can't wait to get back to school!" she shrieked happily.

Dom and Letty went through the front gates and pulled into the garage, glad to be home.
"You want me to help you?"
"No I'm fine," Letty said softly.
"Okay," Dom complied.
They got out of the car and walked into the house. As soon as they went in the front door they heard Leon and Jesse yelling at each other.
"Give it to me Leon!!!!"
"No! Just let me watch my women!"
"God damn it Leon give me the remote!"
Dom and Letty walked into the living room on the left side of the house and saw Jesse chasing Leon who had the remote.
Letty stood there watching, then suddenly burst out laughing. She laughed so much her stomach hurt and she started to cry. She noticed Dom was laughing too.
"Stop it guys, Leon just give him the damn remote. You were watching that when we left, and that was three hours ago," Letty said wiping her laughter tears.
"No girl, the best part is coming up!" Leon whined.
"Give Jesse the remote Leon," Dom repeated, and that was the end of it.
Grumbling, Leon gave Jesse the remote and started up the stairs to the NEXT biggest TV in the house. Letty stopped him before he went up.
"Le, go tell Mia and Brian to come down, I have some news."
Leon nodded and walked upstairs to find Mia and Brian. Letty turned around, then she and Dom sat down on the couch to watch racing with Jesse until they came back down. About five minutes later, Mia came down the stairs with Leon and Brian a few steps behind her.
"Wassup Let?" she asked.
"Sit down," Letty replied, when they were all seated, she continued. "Okay, so you all know how I had to go to the therapist because I needed a follow-up right?" They all nodded, "Well it just so happens, that my therapist is my best friend from New Jersey!" she said happily.
Everyone smiled, they were all happy that Letty was finally able to find some happiness.
"That's great Let, what's her name?" Jesse asked.
"Yea, when do we get to meet her?" Mia questioned.
Then Leon, "Is she hot?"
"Okay guys, one question at a time," Letty answered chuckling. "Her name is Sandra DelCastillo, but everyone calls her Sandy. You'll get to meet her tonight, she's coming to dinner. And I don't know if she's hot, ask Dom."
Leon looked at Dom expectantly, "Ummmm…I guess she's hot," he said with a sheepish look.
Letty punched him playfully in the arm, "Hey!"
He took her into his arms, "Not hotter than you baby."
Letty smiled, and kissed him. Everyone else groaned, and got to watching TV. Then Mia let out a big "Oh!" and they all jumped.
"Damn Mia you tryin' to give us all a heart attack?" Jesse yelped.
"No, I just remembered something important. I have news too," she looked at the group seriously. "I wanna go back to school."
The statement took them by surprise, but Dom's face was unreadable. After what seemed like a lifetime, Dom spoke.
"Okay Mia, you can go back to school."
They all let out a breath that they didn't know they were holding, and Mia smiled broadly.
"Thank you thank you thank you thank you!!! I love you! Hey I even thought of a fake name, 'Naiya Belle' isn't it pretty? I like it. I wonder when I'm going to start school. Maybe I can start like soon!" she babbled.
"Mia, calm down, let's go start dinner, we have a guest tonight!" Letty said, almost as excited as Mia. She was inwardly shaking her head, I will never understand that girl's obsession with school…

Well this time I was nice and didn't leave you with a cliffer, but the next chapter is the dinner party, so come back soon! I am soooooo sorry this took so long, I was having a fight with my friend (who happens to be Sandy) so I had really bad writer's block. The next chapter will be up by Friday, Saturday at the latest. Thank you so much for being so supportive. I love you guys! =)
