To my reviewers- I was shooting for the Silence of the Lamb institute. Glad it worked. On with the story. You'll really like this one. Yes it's short but I figured you guys were patient enough waiting on me to get it together.
Letty was really quiet on the ride home. Too quiet. "Hey Let baby what's the matter?"
"Nothin' Le I'm fine." She continued looking at the window. He rubbed his hand down her leg and she pushed him away.
"You sure sweets?"
"Yeah Le."
"Talk to me Letty."
"He tried to kill Jesse. He stuck up for Jesse. Why would he do that Leon?"
"He's not the Dom we knew Let."
"I know. But to shoot up a conveince store is one thing. Trying to kill someone who's apart of your family Le?"
"I guess the will to not go back to prison won over everything else."
"Yeah and when Miguel grows up and fines a picture of Dominic somewhere. We're gonna have to tell him his Uncle's in jail."
"It'll be alright Letty. We ain't ever gonna see him again."
"What if he gets out?"
"He'll be a senior citizen babe. We'll prolly be dead." He said in a joking voice trying to lighten up the mood.
"Yeah and what happens when he finds Miguel and our baby?" Leon slammed on the brakes. That was the last thing he had expected her to say. Letty had her hands over her mouth. She obviously didn't plan on telling him like that. "Le?" She managed to choke out.
"Come again? Our baby! Letty? when? where? how? Well I know how and it was great but " He was rambling. Letty put her hand on his shoulder and he stopped talking.
" I found out 3 days ago."
"You should've told me." His voice reflected the fact that he was hurt that she hadn't told him.
"I wanted too. I just didn't know how." She started crying and he pulled her into his lap like he did in Arizona.
"Shhhh. Letty it's okay. I still love you."
"R-Really?"
"I'll always love you Letty. Always." He whispered into her neck.
"I love you too Leon." She said wiping the tears.
"Hey Letty?" He said smiling.
"Yeah babe?"
"We're gonna be mama and daddy."
"Yes we are." They kissed passionately. It turned into making out. She broke it off. "Leon we're sitting on the side of the road."
"Don't care." He said still smiling.
"Me neither." She kissed him again. Both of them not caring that they were on the side of the road. Making out.

The next morning Letty and Leon snuck in the front door and turned the corner into the living room. Vince and Mia were sitting on the couch looking straight at them.
"Where were you guys?" Mia said like they were teenagers that had been out all night.
"We stayed with Jesse last night." Letty lied smoothly.
"You're full of it." Vince said in a tired voice.
"Dawg, we're you guys up all night waitin' on us?" Leon asked trying not to laugh.
"What if we were?"
" I'd tell ya I was sorry my phone died. I couldn't call you guys."
"You guys are way too happy for people who stayed at a hospital for an entire night. I know I was there."
"What chu think Letty?" Leon asked mischiviously.
" I'm pregnant." Letty said like it was nothing. Then she busted out laughing seeing Mia and Vince's expressions.
"What did she just say.." Vicne said trying to collect his thoughts. Leon came up behind her and put his arms around her.
"I'm a be a daddy V." Mia got up and hugged the both of them. She was exstatic.
"You'll be a good one too, won't he V?"
"Yeah man, congrats." He hugged Letty and Leon too.
"Sorry to rain on the parade. But what happened with Dom?" Mia asked. Letty ran upstairs.
"Letty..." Leon's eyes trailed her up the stairs and then turned to Mia. "Dominic's in jail. He tried to suffocate Jes." He said it as gentley as he could. Crazy or not, Dominic was Mia's brother.
"Oh god. Did?"
"No Jes is still alive. He's commin' home today around two don't let me forget about him."
"Okay, now go on after Letty. She needs you more than I do." Mia said quietly. Leon hugged her and went up the stairs after Letty. He knocked on their bedroom door. He felt akward in doing so, but Letty always wanted Leon to knock when they were living in seprate rooms.
"Come in." Letty said barely loud enough for him to hear through the door. He walked in slowly.
"Baby what's the matter?"
"I'm scared Leon."
"Why sweets?"
"That I'll be a bad mom to my baby, like my mom was to me, and like her mom was to her."
"You'll be a great mom Letty." He said kissing her forehead. He was actually glad that Mia had gotten pregnant now. Not that he wasn't glad. He loved Miguel. But know he had some experience in the subject. Which would help him with Letty.
"You think so?"
"I know so sweets." Letty wrapped her arms around Leon's neck and he hugged her back. She held on to him tighter.
"Don't leave me Leon. Please."
"I won't Letty, never."
"Promise?"
"I swear." She let him go and yawned. "Why don't chu get some sleep baby. You look exahusted."
"Okay.." She barely finished the word before she fell asleep. He wrapped the covers around her and laid down with her for a little while before he had to go get Jesse.
