Not gonna say much…just get to the story. I've been reeeeeeally lazy lately, and everything's been crazy…so here you go. =)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dominic looked at the doctor like he had grown three extra heads, "What did you just say?"

"We saved Leticia, but the baby couldn't be saved. I'm sorry for your loss. You'll be able to see her in a few hours—"

Dom cut the doctor off, "Letty was PREGNANT?!"

Dr. Starita looked at him, confused, "Yes. She was about 3 months pregnant, ten weeks to be exact. Did you not know?"

"Would I be asking you this if I knew, you idiot!" Dominic retorted, losing his patience.

"Look Mr. Toretto, I understand that you're upset, but this is not the time for that. Now you will be able to see Leticia in a few hours. I suggest you go home and freshen up or whatever. She'll be knocked out for a long time anyway, so you won't be able to talk to her when you go in to see her." Dr. Starita started walking away, leaving a shocked Dom behind.

He started walking numbly back to where the rest of the team was sitting. "Letty was pregnant," he whispered when he got there.

"What?!" Mia screamed. The others looked at him with bugged out eyes.

"Letty was pregnant," he repeated, a little louder.

"Oh my god, she lost…she lost…" Mia couldn't finish her sentence, but Dom knew what she was going to say.

"Yea…when Priya shot her, she lost the baby instantly," he managed to choke out.

Somehow, everyone started crying then, just when things looked like they couldn't get worse, they did. The dark cloud that had descended on the team since they left California still had not vanished. They had no idea when it would, but they didn't know if they could take much more. Even though Letty was okay, an innocent child was dead because of a crazy woman's jealousy.

"I'm sorry Dominic," Sandy went to hug Dominic, and they cried in each other's arms for awhile. "When will we be able to see her?" she whispered a little while later.

"The doctor said in a few hours, but that she'll be knocked out for a long time. He said we should go home and do whatever, then come back."

"I think we should Dom, everyone needs a hot shower and to calm down and all that. Does Letty know about the baby?" Brian asked.

"I don't think so…the doctor didn't say anything about telling her. My guess would be no, since she just came out of surgery and she's already sedated," he answered.

"Who's gonna tell her?" Jesse asked, quiet tears running down his pale face.

Dom ran his hand across his scalp, he always did that when he was frustrated or nervous. He didn't answer for a few minutes, and Jesse thought he just wasn't going to. But finally he said something, "I'm going to have to tell her."

Everyone left Dom alone after that, because he refused to go home, and they all wanted to calm down before seeing Letty. He stayed sitting in that uncomfortable plastic chair, not caring, because all he could think about was Letty and the little Dom or little Letty that he could have had.

*******************************************************************

Thirty minutes later, the doctor came out to find Dominic all by himself, pacing back and forth in the waiting room. "Mr. Toretto, Leticia is still unconscious, but stabilized. If you still want to see her—"

Once again, Dom cut the doctor off, "Yea I wanna see her."

Dr. Starita nodded and motioned for Dominic to follow him, they walked a short distance and got to a private, closed room. The doctor showed him the door and went on his way, leaving Dom to go in on his own.

When he went inside the room, it smelled faintly of baby powder, and the scent reminded him once again of what he could have had. He saw Letty laying on a hospital, she looked so frail he thought he was going to die right there. She was pale, and there were monitors hooked up around her, yet the look on her face was peaceful.

He went to her side and sat in the armchair by her bed, his hand found hers and he entwined her fingers with his own. He remembered the days when things were simpler, a time long ago, when everything wasn't so fucked up. Dom layed his head down on the bed next to his beloved Letty, and quietly cried himself to sleep.

~*Dream*~

"Daddy!! Can I wide in the car wif you?" a three-year-old little girl asked Dom when he was about to get into his new racing car.

It was a sunny day in California, the perfect day for a drive along the beach. Letty and Mia had gone shopping for whatever it was they needed that day, and they left Dom and the guys with Dom and Letty's daughter.

"Sure baby, anything for my little princess," Dom replied grinning.

The little girl squealed happily and went to the other side of the car, Dom followed her there and picked her up swiftly. He put her in her car seat and went to the driver's side of the car, feeling like his heart was gonna explode from all the love he felt for his little girl.

"I wuv you daddy," she said when he got into the car.

"I love you too Sophie," Dom replied. He started driving, thinking about how lucky he was to have Letty and Sofia. They had named her after Dom's mother, but they called her Sophie for short. Dominic had never thought he could love anyone so much and so completely. And his daughter looked just like Letty, big brown eyes, long black hair, she was like her mother's own mini me.

"Daddy…"

"Yea baby?"

"Can you and mommy teach me about caws?" she said in her little baby voice.

"So you wanna learn about cars huh?" Dom said with a smile.

"Yea, I wanna leawn how to dwive fast like you and mommy," Sofia said clapping her hands happily and giggling.

Dominic had to laugh, it was unbelievable how a three-year-old in a little pink dress would want to learn about cars. But he was happy, he had been completely happy since the moment Letty had told him she was pregnant. He finally answered his daughter after they both stopped giggling. "Well precious, I think I'm gonna have to ask your mom about that. I don't want her kickin' my butt for teaching you how to speed."

They went into a fit of giggles again, and Dom pulled over at a Dairy Queen to get them some ice cream. "Here you go baby," Dom said handing his daughter some ice cream.

"Thank you Daddy. This is my favowite!"

~*End Dream*~

Dom awoke suddenly, and buried his face in his hands, crying again. Why didn't you tell me Letty? Why?

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you Dom," Letty said, as if she was reading his thoughts.

He turned his tear stained face toward her, "Why Letty? Why didn't you tell me?" His voice was nothing more than a hoarse whisper.

"I was scared Dom. I didn't think you wanted a kid…I don't know, I know it was stupid…I'm just so sorry. I didn't mean for this to happen, I was so stupid and now our baby's—" Letty started crying then, sobbing uncontrollably. She didn't care about the pain her body was in, she didn't care about anything, because her baby was gone.

Dominic got up and leaned over her, enveloping her in his arms. "It's okay Letty, I swear, I'm never gonna let anything like this happen again. I'm never going to let Priya get near you again."

Letty just kept repeating that she was sorry over and over, still crying, clinging to Dom like he was going to be ripped away. He rocked her back and forth, smoothing her hair, trying to her get to calm down. Finally after what seemed like forever to him, he realized that she had fallen asleep.

*******************************************************************

For the next three weeks Dom stayed with Letty at the hospital, constantly at her side. The only time he ever left her was when Mia would come and drag him out so he could shower. At those times one of the other members of the team would stay with her. Letty was never left alone in that room, never.

Three days before she was supposed to get out, the doctor asked Dominic to see him in his office. Letty said it would be okay, since the office was just a few doors down, that she would be fine alone for ten minutes. She was wrong. As soon as Dr. Starita's door closed, the cause of all of Letty's pain walked into her hospital room. Priya.

"What are you doing here?" Letty asked coldly, her face masked in a look of complete hate. She wasn't scared of Priya, she wasn't going to give her that. But she would have rather died herself than her baby, and it was all Priya's fault. Her baby was gone, and it was all that psycho's fault.

"Oooh, well aren't we a little feisty today? Ya know I've been waiting to catch you alone. Your idiot friends never fuckin' leave your side. But now, I have my chance to tell you what I need to."

"I don't wanna hear anything you have to say."

"Hmm…as I recall it was you that said 'we don't always get what we want' wasn't it? Well any who, I'm going to tell you anyway. You, are in our way. Dom and I have been praying for you to die so finally we can be together without you in our way," she replied snidely.

"That's a lie, Dom would never—"

"Wouldn't he? Your little 'runaway' antics have not done any good for your relationship. Every time he leaves this hospital he comes straight to my house, to complain about what a pest you are. He told me not to come here though, he told me he would just leave you one day. But I think I like it better this way."

"I don't believe you, Dom loves me, Dom would never leave me," Letty said, on the verge of tears.

"Believe what you want Letty, but I have no reason to lie. You can stay here, and force him to leave you. Or you can…well disappear," Priya laughed, then walked out of the room, leaving Letty alone once again.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hmmm…so what is Letty going to do? Do you think she'll believe Priya? And why is Priya saying these things to her? Find out on the next episode of…**dramatic voice** What Lies Ahead!
