Connar watched Dom get into his car and move up to the starting line. She saw Allyson whirl around and stalk towards her.
Connar, who was leaning against Jesse's Jetta, starting making her way towards Allyson. Allyson seemed composed when Connar reached her but Connar knew it would be for just a while.
"Al, what's the--" Connar started.
"Come on, take me home. I don't want to be here anymore." She grabbed Connar's arm and pushed her back towards Jesse's car.
"Wait, hold on. Let me get the keys." Connar looked around for Jesse. She found him talking to Leon, who was watching the scanner from the inside of his car.
When she reached them, Jesse looked up and smiled. He reached out for Connar and pushing her towards him, he wrapped his arms around her waist. He pushed her close and put his thumbs into her back pockets. He looked at her and said, "Hey, babe."
Connar smiled and said, "Jess, I need your keys."
He took the keys from his pocket and placed them in her open palm. He said, "Why? Where are you going?"
Connar's reply was drowned by the yell of the crowd. The race was about to start.
Once everything quieted back down, Jesse asked, "What?"
"Al wants to leave. I'm taking her home. Do you think you can get a ride from Dom or someone? Meet me at my place after, 'kay? I need to tell you something." She gave him a quick kiss and turned to make her way back to Allyson. Jesse turned back to Leon and shrugged.
When Connar reached Allyson she was rubbing her arms. She unlocked the car with a button and Allyson jumped into Jesse's car and waited for Connar to go around the front and get in.
It took a while to get out of the crowd that was surronding the car. When Allyson and Connar had left, the race had already started.
When they had gotten a few blocks from the race, Connar turned to Allyson, "Al, what happened? You seemed okay when you first came and now you're all sulky and shit."
"Wow. Jesse must've rubbed off on you. You just said 'and shit' at the end of your sentence." She laughed, trying to change the subject.
Connar made the kind of face that said stop-fucking-around-and-tell-me-what's-going-on.
Allyson sighed and said, "Dom wanted me to race with him."
"So?"
Allyson looked at Connar with disbelief in her eyes. She made a small noise and said, "I can't race. I told you. I won't take the risk because of Dominic. And then he had the nerve to tell me that I had changed."
"Which way?" Connar asked suddenly.
"What? Oh, go left." Allyson said, suprised at the much needed subject change.
Allyson gave Connar directions to her place for another five minutes when they finally pulled up to Allyson's driveway. Allyson opened the door of the Jetta and was about to get out when she noticed that Connar still had the engine running.
"What are you doing?" Allyson asked looking behind her.
"I'm waiting for you to get out so I can go."
"Get your ass out of that car and come inside with me." Allyson said motioning towards her house. Connar shut the engine off and got out of the car. When they reached the door Allyson unlocked it and walked into her living room.
An old woman was sitting on the couch drinking something out of a mug and watching TV. She looked up startled when they walked in. She checked her watch and said, "Allyson, I didn't expect you back until later. Dominic is sleeping and we has such a fine time. We watched the Rugrats and played with all of his new cars."
The lady had stood up and placed her coffee mug on the table. She grabbed her purse and made her way to the door. Before she opened the door she said, "I'll see you tommorow then?"
Allyson opened her purse and pulled out forty dollars and held them out to the lady, "Here you go, Mrs. Jenkins."
Mrs. Jenkins waved the money away and opened the door and left. Allyson looked back at Connar and said, "I love that woman. She is the sweetest lady I've ever met. Want some beer?"
Connar shook her head. "No, thanks. But, you can tell me why you and Dom had that argument." Connar asked with a smile.
Allyson sighed, "I told you he wanted me to race, right?" When Connar nodded she continued, "Well, he told me that I had changed. I mean of course I've changed. I only his damn kid. Ugh, I can't believe he said that."
Connar raised an eyebrow at Allyson and said, "You know, Al. You can't blame him for telling you that you've changed. He doesn't even know about Dominic. Which, I still think you should tell him about. Just don't get all worked up about it, you know?"
Allyson gaped at Connar, "You're taking his side on this? And I'm not telling him anything about Dominic."
"Mommy?" Dominic said, standing in the doorway of the living room rubbing his sleepy eyes with he back of his hand and yawning. He was carrying a toy car in his hand.
Allyson smiled, "Hey, sweetheart. What are you doing up?" She crossed the living room and picked him up. He layed his little head on her sholder.
Connar smiled at the both of them. She knew Allyson was the perfect mother. Connar looked down at her own stomach and rubbed it. She couldn't wait until she had her own kids with Jesse.
"Al, I've got to get going. Jesse will be at my apartment soon. I'll go pick up your car tommorow and drop it off here, okay?" Connar said making her way to the door.
Allyson nodded and Connar noticed that Dominic had already fallen asleep in Allyson's arms. Connar smiled and left, quietly shutting the door.
Allyson took Dominic, still sleeping in her arms, to her room. She layed him down on her own bed and slipped the blankets from underneath him and covered him with them. She went to the other side of the bed and, without getting undressed lied down next to Dominic. She looked at him sleeping and noticed that he really did look a lot like Dom.
Soon, she her eyes were closing and she was asleep.
