Heather's POV:

Leon and I were official couch potatoes one Saturday morning when we saw Mia fly down the stairs almost knocking poor Jesse over.

"Mia what is it?" I asked noticing that she couldn't stop smiling. She just stuck out her hand showing off the huge diamond on her finger.

"Oh my God!" I screamed hugging her. I was so happy for her she'd make the perfect bride. Vince, Dom and Letty were waken up by all the yelling although we didn't care.

"What the hell are you yelling about 9:30 in the damn morning." Dom demanded.

"I'm engaged." Mia said proudly showing them the ring.

"Congratulations." Dom said while scooping her up in a bear hug. Letty launched herself at her happy as well when Brian came down the stairs.

"You couldn't wait could you." He laughed when she shook her head no. Everyone when up to the two lovebirds to say their congrats before asking what was for breakfast.

About a week later I was working when my cell went off. It was Letty.

"Hey girl you're late were you at?" I asked concerned.

"Home I'm not feeling real good. I haven't been for a couple days."

"I think I might have an idea why. I'll be there in 5." I finished hanging up telling Dom I forgot something and would be back in a little. I didn't wait for his answer. Before going to the house I stopped at a local drug store picking up a pregnancy test hoping to god that it wouldn't turn blue. I got there to here Letty throwing her guts up. Not a good sign. I walked in the bathroom to hold her hair until she was done.

"Thanks for coming."

"No problem Lett." I assured. "Here take this." I said handing her the pregnancy test.

"That's what I was thinking but I was to afraid to take it." she told me.

"I'll be right out here." I felt bad but what could I do besides be there for her. I left her alone waiting in the living room for her to come out of the bathroom. She eventually came out and the words that left her mouth next killed me.

"I'm pregnant."

I went over and hugged her. We sat on the floor while she cried although I wasn't sure if they were tears of joy.

"Oh Letty you're going to make a great mother." I reassured her brushing the hair out of her face.

"What about Dom?" she asked.

"What about him? He's going to love the idea that he's going to be a dad. When are you going to tell him?"

"I don't know."

"It's up to you but we should schedule a doctor's appointment first to make sure."

"Yea." Letty said yawing.

"Go lay down I'll call and set it all up." I ordered seeing how tired she was. She headed up the stairs.

"Heather, Thank you I owe you."

"Nah we're even." she laughed and went to her and Dom's bedroom while I set up the appointment.

I was able to get one three days away which wasn't bad at all. Of course Dom seemed suspicious why Letty was throwing up every morning but she just told she had a stomach virus. Which was true in a way.

No ones POV:

The day finally arrived where it was now or never. Heather drove while Letty sat in the passenger side of the Evo. Heather noticed that Letty looked really scared and tired to comfort her.

"Lett it's going to be fine, Dom's going to love being a dad." Heather explained and managed to get a smile out of her.

"Besides you'll only look like a whale for a couple months and you can send Dom for them midnight cravings every chance you get." Letty swatted at her laughing feeling a little better.

"I'll be a cute whale." Letty argued holding out her stomach.

"Yea no more on top for you." Heather laughed making her blush, something you rarely saw Letty do.

They talked the rest of the way both feeling better about what was ahead, well at least one of them was. When they got there the parking lot was full and it was only 10 in the morning. Letty huffed but followed Heather in any way knowing there was no way out of it.

"Excuse me, I'm here for a 10:15 appointment for a Miss Rodriquez." Heather checked with the nurse at the head desk.

"Ah yes the doctor will be with you shortly if you two will take a seat." Heather nodded her thanks and grabbed a magazine with Letty on the other side. They sat and made fun of all the people in the magazines who needed desperate makeovers. The fun was cut short when the doctor appeared out from one of the doors.

"Miss Rodriquez?" he called searching the waiting room till Letty stood up and went into the room. It wasn't until a half hour later did she reappear. She wore a smile and had more confidence in her step.

"So?" Heather asked impatiently. "I'm three weeks pregnant." She whispered holding onto her stomach.

"Congratulations Lett its going to be great." Heather reassured her while walking her to the car and driving home.

"I think I'm going to tell Dom tonight."

"Maybe take him out to dinner or something for a while?"

"Yea that be better." She paused looking out the window realizing they were at the house.

"I'm going to go back home and get some sleep." Heather told her.

"If you need anything just call the cell it's always on." She finished noticing that Mia was home she saw her cleaning the front window.

"Thank you Heather." Letty said before getting out.

"No problem girl, I'll see ya tomorrow." Heather said before peeling off.

Heather went home and didn't even bother taking her clothes off before she jumped into bed. Dom was the last thing on her mind before she fell asleep. She woke hours later about 11 or so. She shivered feeling how cold it had become, the sound of the wind could clearly be heard. The windows were wide open making everything in the room scatter.

"I don't remember leaving these open." She said aloud as she shut them but that's as far as she ever got before an arm closed around her throat making her see black.

Darkness was all that she could see when she opened her eyes. She found that she was back in bed but she couldn't get up because her hands were tied above her head on the headboard of the bed. She rattled the headboard until a figure stepped out of the blank of darkness.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you." Blue eyes stared back at her ones that caused so much pain.

"Let me the fuck go Mark!" She yelled making a lot of noise hoping someone would hear.

"Now why would I do that babe?" He smiled walking closer to her.

"You bastard I'm going to fucking kill you!" He laughed.

"You're in no position to make threats." he now stood at the end of the bed. That's when Heather saw her chance she arched her hips and was able to get them off the bed enough to get a roundhouse to the side of his face. He stepped back holding his cheek and split lip which was bleeding all over him.

"Still have that fire in you I was afraid Toretto tamed it out of you." He shook his head and walked to the bath room to check his lip.

Heather watched him go and turned her head to see her cell and the knife sitting on top of her bureau. She couldn't reach it with her hands but tried with her feet. Her toes were able to grab the slick pocket knife but the only problem was how was she going to get the blade out. Thank god she took one of them yoga classes when she was back in New York. Lifting her leg so it straight she brought it back as far as she could without crying out. But it was still out of reach of her hands so she pull her leg all the way back and then forward real quick releasing the knife making it fly and hit the wall. It almost fell behind he bed but her hand was able to reach out and grab it.

Mark returned blood free not knowing that Heather was cutting through the leather straps with his own knife.

"Where is it?" He asked getting mad.

"Where's what?" She asked bitterly.

"My car."

"You mean my car that I paid for that you gave to your skank?" Colors flashed over his face and she could of swore she saw steam come out of his ears. He wrenched her hair back exposing her neck putting his other one on her windpipe slowly crushing it.

"Where the fuck is it?" His patience at an end. He squeezed harder making it difficult for Heather to keep her eyes open let alone think. She was almost through the first strap she kept cutting until she got her hand free. She sliced it across his wrist and then kicked him in the face making him fall in pain. Heather worked feverishly on the other strap knowing she wouldn't have much time. It snapped and she pulled her other hand free grabbing her cell phone. She only got as far as dialing the 9 before her legs were pulled out from under it. He was on top of her in minutes.

"Where the fuck is it? You pull that shit again bitch and I'll slit you throat." He roared trying to choke her.
"Okay." She managed to get out as he eased off grabbing the knife from her but not the cell phone.

As he turned to get up she hit and held the 1 on the phone calling the only person she knew who would help her. She silently slid the phone under the bed hoping his phone was on and he came over to check it out.

"Get up and show me where its at." He commanded and she listened out of options. Heather led him out of the apartment complex and over to the separate garage she kept it in. She unlocked it and switched on the light revealing the Viper.
"What the fuck did you do to it?" He asked walking around it.
"Made it better." She smiled provoking him into a rage.

"You're going to have to pay extra for that." He laughed probably at the things he was thinking of doing to make her night a living hell. Heather decided to piss him off even more once you got made you lose.

"Fuck you Mark! You aren't going to do shit expect run your fat lip which must hurt like a bitch by the way. You want to play asshole? Come fucking get me dickhead." She yelled seeing him about to explode oh yea she got him. She knew saw him take the gun out from under his jacket, never knew he had it. She heard the bullet whiz be her head.
"SHIT!" She screamed and fell to the ground.

It didn't hit but it should of, she rolled to the side and saw Mark coming right at her. She jumped to her feet and rolled the garage door shut and put the lock back in place. Her breathing was erratic and her heart was going a mile a minute. Her mind was screaming to run and she listened taking off not knowing where she was going. She knew the lock was going to hold him for long. Hearing more gun shots she ran faster but didn't watch where she was going cause she slammed right into a solid wall of muscle.

"Where is he?" His deep voice asked.
"Locked in the garage but he's probably out now looking for me."
"Stay here." He commanded.
"Dom! He has a gun." He turned around and lifted up his shirt to reveal a pistol nestled inside his jeans. He threw her his cell and told her to dial 911. She did and reported that her ex-boyfriend was trying to kill her and to hurry up. Soon after she pocketed the phone and sat on the cold concrete just listening but not hearing a damn thing. She couldn't just sit there so she got up and ran back to where she left Mark, the garage door where the Viper was kept, was wipe open. She stood there for a minute trying to find Mark. Dom's back was to her as he was searching the parking lot. Then, out of the corner of her eye she saw Mark stand up and take aim.


"Dom! Behind you." She yelled watching Dom spin around and dodge Mark's bullet and then firing one of his own. It hit him in the left shoulder making him fall to the ground dropping the gun. Heather ran over and took the gun and pointed at his head without a second thought she pulled the trigger. But not a single bullet came, she popped the chamber, empty.
"Damn it!" She was half tempted to ask a half conscious Mark if he had any more bullets. Dom came over within seconds and eased the gun out of her hand knowing that if there were anymore bullets in the gun Mark would be dead.
"It's okay it's over now." He whispered taking her in his arms and carrying her out to his car.

The police and ambulance showed up about 2 minutes later. Mark was loaded into the ambulance while the officers questioned Dom and Heather. They explained how he tried to kill both of them and how he was stalking Heather. The officers took down their information and double checked it with his profile. It came back that Marcus Carra was wanted on 3 separate murder accounts and that he was going away for life if he didn't receive the death penalty. They said he would be transferred out of Cali and back to his home state of New York where he would serve his sentence. Dom looked over to see that Heather could barley keep her eyes open.


"Come on you're coming home with me." He whispered in her ear. She didn't object and hopped in the car glad it was over.

The next morning Heather woke up on the couch with someone on top of her. She opened her eyes to find 200 pound Dom sound asleep. She didn't want to wake him but she really had to pee and get a shower. No one was awake yet so she slipped out from under him and went to the bathroom to freshen up a bit. Heather was still really tired but she wanted to go back home and clean up the mess from last night. Her nerves were still on edge flinching at any little noise or movement. She knew that if Mark didn't have a bad aim she wouldn't even be standing here right now, never seeing Dom, Leon or anyone again she shivered at the thought.

After getting a shower and borrowing more of Leon's clothes she headed back into the living room and found Dom was still passed out. Big surprise there. She put her wet hair into a bun and went over to sit beside him. He grabbed her around the waist bring her down next to him eyes still closed.


"Mmmm you smell good." Heather laughed at his laziness but then remembered about Letty and then it felt wrong.
"I just wanted to say Thank You Dominic." She purred feeling his fingers slip under her jersey.
"My pleasure babe." He ruffled into her hair.
"Dom we can't do this anymore you have Letty and a child to think about." She reminded him although it didn't seem like it.

"What?!" He asked confused sitting up. Heather was freaking out Letty never told him shit!
"Letty's pregnant Dom." She told him not wanting to set him off. He ran a hand over his head sighing.
"You're going to make a great dad. You and Letty belong together. Its just we can't do this anymore. It's not fair to us Letty Leon or the team and we have to think about everyone here." She looked up to find she had his full attention he began to speak but she put a finger to his lips.
"Let me finish. Look I'm not going to lie to you I have feelings for you Dom but I can't act on them. Letty's my best friend and Leon's my boyfriend and I can' t mess that up. I wish it could be different Dominic I really do but you have a kid to think about now and your team. Letty needs you right now she's scared about telling you although I'm not sure why. I'm sorry for everything." Tears flowed freely down her face as she finished feeling her heart crack in two. The thing that really tore her up was the despair in Dom's eyes he looked lost and upset. She kissed him slowly feeling the passion between them and wishing they could say the hell with it and be together but it doesn't work that way it never will. Heather got up minutes later walking to the door.
"It's going to be fine Dom, go to Letty she needs you more." And with that she walked out the door heading home. It was a nice day for a walk.

Neither of them knew that Vince had heard their entire exchange shaking his head there was real love between them. He knew that Heather just did the hardest thing anyone could do, she gave the man she loved to another woman. Over the next few days Letty finally told the team she was pregnant and they couldn't be happier. All wanting a little rug rat to play with. Mia was ecstatic and busy making plans for her wedding and already setting up the baby's room. Everyone just let her go knowing that they couldn't stop her. She was the one after all who made breakfast.

Heather found that she was spending more and more time away from the team. Even though she went out with Leon every other night she rarely went over their house only to work. She wasn't real sure why but then she knew. Dominic. One name, one man that she can't get enough of. Nights were more restless, days more depressing, everything just felt wrong. She felt like a part of her was slowly dying inside so she turned to the only thing that would fix it, racing. Her escape the thing that solved all her problems in those few seconds everything felt alive, right.

Three months passed and Heather was back on track or so she thought. Mia and Brian's wedding was finally here and like always everything was hectic.

Heather's POV:

It was beautiful, the ocean stretched for miles and the beach was littered with shells of all sizes. It took your breath away that something could be this perfect and still be here. The wedding was on a little beach in Mexico only the team and I attended Mia wanted a small wedding. Letty and I were the maids of honor cast in simple navy dresses that hugged our every curve. I looked over to Letty remembering how many adjustments had to be made to her dress because she kept getting bigger. She was showing a little although she still wasn't fat at almost four months into it.

My eyes also fell on the shiny diamond she was wearing. Her and Dom were engaged it still hurt to say it. My eyes stung a little at that thought but what could I do? I turned my head and met his eyes it seemed they were watching me the whole time. I couldn't place what I saw cross his face but I saw it in his eyes. Eyes are the windows to the soul and his was wide open. We watched each other for the rest of the wedding not caring who saw.

After Mia threw the bouquet it somehow landed in my arms. I threw Leon a glance and he took off running trying to be funny. I laughed cause it was true I wouldn't marry anyone the one I wanted was already engaged.

We rented the beach house for the weekend needing time off. I walked to the water and sat in the sand letting the water run across my feet watching the sunrise before me I had front row seats. I heard someone sit beside me yet I didn't look up.


"He loves you too you know." Vince quietly told me. I met his eyes and found that he was telling me the truth. He continued.


" All the years I've known him I never saw him act the way he does with you. Even with Letty. When's its you two together nothing matters and everything seems to melt around you. You let him go and gave him to Letty that's true love. He'll always love you even if he never told you he does. He'd give up everything for you without a second thought." He finished.

"God V you're going to make me cry. I love him so much but I couldn't let him do it, not for me. You guys need him more especially Letty even thought she doesn't seem to think so."

He held me the rest of the night telling me that he was here for me. Everything was so screwed up I didn't think it could get any worse, boy was I wrong! If only……..
