Chapter 8
Leon's POV
She is asleep with her head pressed against the window. I guess the exhaustion was finally too much for her to fight. I pick up my phone and dial the hospital. The nurse is patching me into Jesse. "Hey Jess, how are you feeling?"
"Better." He still sounds weak.
"I wanted to let you know that I am taking Bella to see Dom."
"Why?" He asks nervously.
"She is losing it man. She doesn't sleep or eat."
"Dom is going to kill me when he finds out about the baby."
"He'll get over it."
"Easy for you to say you didn't get her pregnant."
"True. Don't worry. I will call you in a few hours once they have had time to talk. Get some rest ok."
"Yeah I will. Take care of her."
"You've got my word. Talk to you later dawg."
The hotel is coming up on the left. I pull into the lot and shut the car off. "Bella, we're here. Time to wake up." She turns her head and stares at me with half open eyes. She nods and gets out of the car. We walk together towards the hotel room. I pound my fist on the door. No one answers. I keep pounding until I see the lights come on.
Dom growls as he opens the door, "This better be important!!!"
"Yeah, it's important." I smugly reply back.
"Leon, how's it going?"
"Not so good, I brought someone to see you." I step to the side revealing Bella behind me.

Dom's POV
I cannot describe the shock of seeing my baby sister standing in front of me. She has changed. Her eyes no longer shine and even her smile seems forced. I reach out for her and pull her into my arms. We hold each other for a few minutes. It has been so long since we last seen each other. "Come in here so we can talk," I pull her into the room. Leon steps into the room and closes the door.
"Where's Letty?" Leon asks noting my empty bed.
"She's next door. We got into it so she decided to sleep alone."
"Hey, I'm going to go see her and give you two some time alone."
"Great. Tell Letty that we'll head over in a few."
"See you in a few," with that Leon left the room.
I turn my attention to Bella. She is fidgeting. "So how is school?"
"I quit. It just didn't work out."
"YOU WHAT?" I am trying to control my anger. She can't throw away her future like that.
"College was not what I wanted and so I decided to come back home."
"Isabella Olivia Toretto, you just quit. This is unacceptable. You're going back if I have to drag you back there myself."
She leaps to her feet and is in my face, "King Dominic, I am not going back. You can't tell me what to do anymore. I am an adult and I can make my own decisions."
"Isabella, you don't know what's best for you."
"Neither do you. I am staying in Los Angeles. Case closed."
"Oh really. Is that so?"
"Yeah and I have some more news for you. Dom, you are an uncle."
My anger cannot be contained any longer. I pick up the chair next to the door and smash it into the sending wood flying. "Who got you pregnant?" I grab her by the shoulders and pull her off of the ground. "Tell me so I can rip him apart." I was not prepared for her answer.
"Please Dom stop. It's Jesse. He's the father of my daughter."
I release my grip on her and let her crumble to the ground. She is crying. It feels as though the room is spinning. I sit down on the bed trying to gain control. Leon and Letty run into the room. Leon is holding Bella trying to calm her. Letty is screaming at me. "Letty, shut up. Get your stuff, we're going home."
