Tony found a empty room upstairs and passed out on the bed. It had been a long day for the teenage boy, maybe even longer than his whole life. He didn't know what to make of Letty, it surprised him that Letty was well, more independent than he thought she would be. He always imagined his mom kind of like a Mia type. In a way he was happy he finally met his mom. But in another he was pissed because he knew his dad's heart was still aching and it was because of her.
He fell into a restless sleep only to be awaken sweating. He looked around the room at first confused at where he was at. He sighed remembering. He looked over at the clock, 3 in the morning. It was his birthday, his sweet 16, but it didn't seem like it. He sighed knowing most likely his dad didn't even remember. It wouldn't be the first time either.
"So what are we going to tell him?" Mia asked Dom.
Mia watched her brother gulp down his fifth bottle of Corona. She eyed her first one which still hadn't been touched. This was going to be hard on all of them. Not just for Tony or Dom, but all. She sighed not knowing how to answer her brother's question. She knew Dom didn't mean any harm back then, but she also knew how stubborn her brother was. And Tony had the same quality.
"I don't think you could really explain it all Dom," Mia said. "Hard to imagine this day 16 years ago. Back then all we thought about was racing. Racing, the garage, the store, and us." Mia remembered the good old days.

**flashback**

"Dom get your filthy hands off my sofa!" Mia scolded as she swatted her brother's oil greased hands off the living room sofa.
They had all just come home from the garage. Everyone was exhausted and just wanted to sit down on the couch, but Mia wouldn't let them, afraid they might get a permanent stain on the brand new sofa.
"Jesus Mia it's a couch, get over it!" Letty said taking a seat.
"LETTY!" Mia whined. **end of flashback**

Mia smiled remembering that day. How she and Letty held a grudge match against each other for the rest of the day. The guys had to watch themselves in order not to be attacked by the angry women. Anything or anyone that came in contact with them were quickly destroyed. Then later that night V and Leon started fighting and it was up to Letty and Mia to make sure they didn't kill one another.
"16 years?" Dom asked surprised. "Shit his birthday is today?!"
