Nikky tossed and turned all night, she couldn't stop thinking, about the life she had to leave behind and about her "hope" for the future.
"Nikky come here baby." V said smiling they were looking in the mirror and V had his arms around her, his bronze hands caressed her stomach. "I love you baby." He whispered. Nikky looked at him then back in the mirror and he was gone. "V!" she screamed as she awoke. She started to cry, not because of the dream but, because of the reality. He was gone at least to her. 24 weeks and I still can't him outta my head or my body. she thought. Yeah she was pregnant and when she was four weeks along he left her. He was just going to visit for a little while and then bam! He was gone. She vowed to kill Toretto, for letting him die like that. Alone. Nikky shook the thoughts from her head. The nights were the worst lying in bed wishing he was there, trying to picture their daughter growing up without him. She couldn't handle it. She tried to drown out the sound of the streets and went slowly back to sleep.
Nikky got up around 6, she woke up earlier and earlier with each day of her pregnancy. She dreaded the final months when she would be awake at three, maybe even two. Her morning sickness was gone within the first month and now all she had to look forward to was the birth. She heard that 27 of women die during birth. And sometimes when she was up late she'd pray to god to be one of those 27. She wanted to be with V so bad. But she had a piece of him and she'd hold onto it forever.
Jaki and Erica were still asleep when she went out for a drive, She drove down Fisherview Road past the house were Toretto lived, Past the garage where V worked then finally where he was carried off in a plane to his death. She slowed the car down and walked into the field a cross stood there. What used to be pale white was now covered in mudd and grass. She could see dead flowers lying next to the grave. She fell down to her knees and started to cry. Her eyes closed, she felt the baby inside kick and she realized that someone was standing behind her. She quickly turned to see a man standing behind her with blonde hair, "What do you want?" she asked wiping tears from her face. "Are.. Are you Nikky?"
"How do you know my name?"
"I.. I Have something to tell you."
"What?"
"I'm Brian O'Connor."
Nikky stood up and started towards him . "Don't you ever come near me again!" She yelled. "You're the reason. You're the reason he's dead."
"He's not dead." Brian said sympathetically.
"What?" she had started to walk to her car but that had stopped her dead in her tracks.
