Yay! New chapter to WLA…*big grin*

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

Dom's jaw hit the floor when the doctor said those words, he couldn't believe his ears. "Wha-wha-what?" he stuttered.

"Your…wife?" he looked at them, and when they said nothing, he continued, "Your wife is pregnant, Mr. Toretto." They said nothing, so the doctor began to make his way out of the room, "I will leave you two to discuss it."

When the doctor was out of the room Dom turned to look at Letty, who was just as white-faced as he was. He felt like his voice had completely stopped working, and his brain was one big jumble. The only thing he could hear was "You're pregnant. Congratulations." Over and over again in his head. "How did this happen?" he asked, directing the question to no one in particular.

Letty was quick with her smartass response, "Well Dom…when a man and a woman love each other…" she trailed off and started to chuckle.

He turned to glare at her, "This is not a joke Leticia. And it was a rhetorical question."

"I know…I couldn't help myself," she said with a sly smile. In reality, she was trying very very hard not to break down right there in front of Dom. "So…"

"So…" Dom was fidgeting and couldn't look her in the face, he wanted to cry and leap for pure joy at the same time. He was having a baby! A baby! It was almost impossible to believe, after all the bad things that had happened to them…finally, a miracle.

Letty looked down at her hands and started playing with one of the bracelets she had on. "The doctors…they told me I probably would never be able to have children…" her voice cracked and she started to cry softly. She wiped the tears away as quickly as she could, but Dom still noticed. It was useless to try and stop them, the tears just kept coming, her sobs getting louder with each passing moment.

Dom put his arms around her and tried to calm her down, "It's okay baby…really, it's okay.

Her sobs got so violent that Letty started to shake, she was struggling to breathe and could barely speak. Dom rocked her back and forth softly, still trying to calm her down. Her sobs quieted down after a while, and all you could hear were her little hiccups and Dom whispering into her hair that everything was going to be okay.

When Letty was finally calm, Dom layed her back and looked into her eyes, "This time, I'm here. This time we're going to do it all together. This time I won't let anything happen to ruin our happiness."

She sighed, Dom was probably making impossible promises, but it was all he could do and she was happy he was there. "Dom…I'm pregnant," hearing herself say the words somehow made it more real.

Dom smiled big, "Yes! I'm gonna be a daddy."

Seeing Dom so happy made Letty smile big too, "And I'm gonna be a mommy." Knowing that Dom would be there with her this time made Letty feel like maybe she could actually get through it all. But she knew, that this time she wouldn't let anyone get in the way of her and her baby's happiness, with Dom or without him. "When do I get out of this place?"

"Don't know…we can ask the doctor when he comes back."

Letty nodded and sighed, "So what do we do now?"

"I had another surprise for you…but I'm thinking I'll just tell you instead. I don't want you to get hurt again." Dom scooted his chair closer to the side of her bed and started playing with her hand. "Letty, I've known you for almost my whole life. And even though I never realized it, I've loved you since the day you set foot on our front lawn looking for that basketball you carried everywhere…" He paused, looking confused, as if he forgot what he was originally going to say and was lost in his memories of the past.

She was getting impatient, and she was tired, "Get on with it Dom," she said softly. Letty had no idea where Dom was going with his rant…she was in a dream-like state, still in shock from the doctor's news.

He stayed quiet for a while longer, and she looked at him with tired eyes. Dom caught her exhausted look and decided to get on with it, "Letty…marry me."

Err…I know that sounds cliché, but it's not! Really! You know I wouldn't do anything cliché, this is something I've had planned from the beginning. (I've had almost everything planned from the beginning, lol.) Yeah so…more to come… "soon" *ducks* don't hit me! It's not ORP soon, I promise. =)
