I know, I know…it has taken me forever to update. What can I say, been so busy with this and that I haven't had much time to write. I have also been suffering the worst writer's block I've ever had. Just need some inspiration I guess. Anyway, thanks for the reviews for the last two chapters.

I understand the unhappiness with the Dom/Letty/Cecily situation. It wouldn't be right unless Dom and Letty's relationship hit a few snags along the way. I don't know if they will end up together in the end, but for now Dom and Cecily are together on the run.

And now on with the chapter and as always read and review, they inspire me.

Chapter 67

Sky stomped out of the house with a look of anger upon her face. Hector and Jesse took it as a sign that all was not right. They decided not to even ask in fear of bringing her wrath down on them. She was the first to speak, "Jess, help me get the boys inside and onto the couch. Since we didn't anticipate bringing them there's no room set up for them. I'll figure out where to put them once we get Leon and Letty settled."

Jesse jumped up in the truck and pulled Nicholas into his arms. It took a few minutes to get the boys settled. Both woke up when Jesse and Sky laid them on the couch. Caleb latched onto her neck and screamed every time she tried to lay him down. Finally, she bribed him with a cookie and a promise that she would be just outside the door. He gave in and sat on the couch nibbling on his cookie.

Seeing that Sky had her hands full with the kids, Jesse and Hector took care of getting Leon and Letty inside the house and into their beds. Sky went out to the truck to gather all the medical supplies they would both need during their recoveries. Eva had set them up with boxes of dressings, antibiotics, and pain relief. There were boxes upon boxes loaded into the truck. Sky grabbed a few, balanced them on top of each other, and slowly made her way to the house hopping to make it inside without dropping everything. She stepped through the door and ran right into Hector.

"Damn girl give me those before you hurt someone."

"Sorry."

"Yeah I know. Why don't you let Jesse and me get those, go check on your patients."

"Okay. Just put everything in the dining room. I take care of it from there." Sky headed to see Letty first. In the hallway she came face to face with an angry Vince. "Not now."

"Don't tell me not now. What the hell were you thinking running off like that? If you would have given me a chance I'd have thought of a way to fix things."

"Yeah right Vince, looks like you were too busy getting it on with Mia. So was it all you thought it would be."

"Don't fucking go there Sky."

"What testy about your new relationship? Could it be that you know she's just using you to get over Brian? You're just her rebound guy and sooner or later she'll push you aside for the next blond haired blue eyed surfer boy. Face it Vince, you're not her type."

"Bullshit. How the fuck do you know how she feels?"

"Please I saw how she was with Brian. Vince, he was her first do you know that?"

"What does that have to do with anything?"

"Everything, she doesn't love you Vince. Someday that fact will sink in. But go ahead and play in your fairytale world until then." Turning her back to him, she walked away.

"Hey." His voiced bounced off the walls of the hallway.

"What?" She said without even turning to face him.

He wrapped his arms around her and whispered in her ear, "I missed you."

Sky put her hand on tops of his, "I missed you too."

"You need any help?"

"No V I think I have it handled. Get back to bed and we'll talk more in the morning."

"Goodnight Princess." Vince kissed her cheek and let her go.

She was amused by how fast his mood went from angry to sweet. He really was just a large teddy bear with a rough exterior. She dreaded what she had to do next. Deep inside she prayed that Letty would still be sedated and not ask her questions about Dom. The room was modestly decorated by Dom's choice. It had a simple bed and dresser. A ceiling fan moved the hot air around, but did little to cool the room. It was dark except for a tiny light emitted from a lamp on the dresser.

Her patient laid quietly on the bed. Sky drifted over to the bed and sat down beside Letty. She took Letty's wrist and checked her heart rate. A knock on the door startled Sky. Jesse walked in with a folder under his arm and a bag of supplies.

"Here's her chart doctor. I have also brought some supplies." Sky giggled at his humor. Enjoying the smile on her face he kept up the act. "What can I do to assist you Dr. Thomas?"

"Well you can begin nurse by handing me the chart and then you can tell me how much fluid is left in the IV bags." Sky took the folder from Jesse's outstretched hand and opened it. Inside she found handwritten notes by Eva telling her exactly what she needed to do. "Jess how are we on IV fluids?"

"There about half full."

"Good we don't need to change them yet. Hey where's Hector?"

"Hanging out in the living room with Vince and the boys. He wanted to wait until you finished with Letty so he could tell you goodbye."

"Well let me give her some antibiotics and check her wound then I'll be out."

"Ok Sky yell if you need me."

"Thanks Jess."

Sky watched him walk out and went back to reading the chart. She was nervous about giving the medication afraid she might kill Letty. If she didn't give her enough it wouldn't work and if she gave her too much she could hurt or kill her. Her hands were shaking as she placed the needle into the medicine bottle. With care she drew out the plunger and watched the liquid fill the syringe. The syringe was filled to the desired point and Sky pulled the needle from the bottle. The instructions told her to push the air out of the syringe. The medication was ready to be placed into the IV, but Sky hesitated worried that she had done something wrong.

"Why don't you do it already?" Letty spoke with a raspy voice.

"Damn you Letty. You scared the shit out of me. How long have you been awake?"

"A few minutes, now are you going to tell me how it is that I went to sleep in a hospital room and then woke up with you in some strange room."

"Well do you want the long version or the short version?"

"Short version cause I'm about to nod off again."

"Jess and I got arrested. Harry and Hector bailed us out and with some help from a few of the nursing staff at County we got you and Leon out."

"Damn girl how the hell did Hector and Harry pull all that off?"

"Beats the hell out of me, I'm just happy we're here."

"How come Dom isn't in here helping you?"

Sky looked away not wanting to answer.

"You better tell me."

"He's not here Let. We're not sure where he is." Sky waited for the tears to begin, but they didn't come. Letty didn't show any emotion at all. "As soon as we get settled we'll try to figure out where he could've gone."

"Don't worry about it. He doesn't want to be found. If he wanted to be here, he'd be here. This is typical Dom. It's always about him and what he wants."

"Maybe the border was too hot. He might be laying low for a while."

"I know him and this is the last place he'll come. I know where he went. He went to her."

"You think Dom went to another woman?"

"I know he did. He doesn't think I know. For the last four years he's been seeing her behind my back. I don't know why I just let it happen. Guess I didn't want to let him go."

"Seeing who?"

"Cecily."

The image of the girl flashed in Sky's memory. Cecily had been a neighborhood girl that Dom fell for back in the day. Sky had no idea what had happened to the relationship, but the look on Letty's face told her that it never really ended. "I'm sorry Letty."

"What do you have to be sorry about? I should've left him, but I stayed and he just kept breaking my heart. If we ever get out of this mess, it's over between us. I'm just going to go my own way." She took a deep, haggard breath. "Girl can you give me some pain killers along with that?"

"No problem." Sky pushed the antibiotics into the IV port and then pushed in the pain meds. She sat with Letty until she drifted off.

The guys were seated around a table in the living room playing cars with the boys. The scene was so cute with the big guys trying to explain every detail of the cars and the boys just wanting to wreck the cars into each other. "I hate to break this up but Hector you need to get back across the border and I need to get the little ones to bed."

"You're right I need to get home before my girl thinks I'm out with someone else. Might actually get me some if I get there early enough."

"TMI, TMI Hector. There are some things you should leave out of conversations."

He wrapped his arms around her waist and picked her up off the ground, "You know I'm sexy. Don't ya. Admit it you think I'm hot."

"Gross. Stop now before I get sick."

"Hey is that anyway to treat your hero." Hector put her feet back on the ground.

"You're right. Thank you for everything you did for us." She kissed him lightly on his cheek.

"I knew you liked me. You want this sexy body." Hector said lifting his shirt and exposing his abdomen.

She pushed him toward the door, "Go home Hector."

"I'm going Gorgeous. You take care of yourself. See ya guys." With one last wave he was out the door and gone from their lives. The team didn't know if they would ever see him or anyone else from LA again.

"Hey boys it's time for bed." A chorus of 'aw come on' came from both the boys and the guys. Sky would not be challenged though. "I said it's bedtime."

Jesse stood up and Nicholas followed him, "Where do you want to put the boys?"

"Well I guess we can put them in my and Leon's room."

Vince spoke up, "I got a better idea. Mia is not using her room so why don't you put them in there. The bed is big enough for the both of them."

"Good idea Vince. Come on Caleb, come to Sky." He ran to her waiting arms. "Do you want me to tuck you in?" Caleb nodded and Sky smiled at him.

The boys were more tired than they let on and we both sound asleep within a few minutes. Vince and Jesse went off to their respective bedrooms leaving Sky to herself. It gave her a moment to reflect on what had happened in the last few weeks. It didn't take long for the tears to fall. She had her family back, but their futures were uncertain and they would forever be on the run. That was no life and certainly bad for the little boys asleep in the other room. Unfortunately she had no plan or way to change things.

It was a no-win situation, but there was no time to sit on the couch and wallow in sorrow because in her bedroom was the man she loved and he needed her. She wiped her face and went into the bedroom. His breathing was soft and regular signaling a deep sleep. She ran over his vitals and injected antibiotics into his IV as she had done with Letty. A large chair sat in the corner diagonal from the bed. She took her place in the chair to watch over him.
