To my reveiwers- I want to think Betty-boo,Jada91, and Roswell-loverll for putting me on their alert list. Jada and Roswell don't be afraid to reveiw me I don't bite,hard. lol. But for real I wanna know what ya'll think.

Lily and Letty were released from the hospital a couple days later. It was just Letty,Mia, and Miguel home. Brian and Rome had gone to the tire store. Leon and Vince were running the store and they really didn't wanna know where Tej and Suki were. Letty was taking a nap and awakened by Lily's cries. She threw her legs off the bed and walked over to the basanett and picked Lily up.

"What's the matter Tiger? I just fed you." She cooed to the infant. She carried her out to the living room where Miguel was pulling on Mia's shirt tail.

"Mama, mama somethin' 'rong with baby!" He was telling Mia and turned around to see Letty holding her. "Baby 'tay?" He waddled over to Letty and she got on her knees so Miguel could see all was well.

"Baby's fine Miguel." She messed his hair up. He gave her an innocent smile. His eyes went back to his cousin.

"You o'tay. Me take cares of you." He said touching her cheek. Miguel had grown attatched to her in a small amount of time. Letty was glad at this. She'd have someone to talk to and get under the hood of the cars with. They'd be inseperable if Letty had anything to do with it.

"Hey Miguel?"

"Yeah 'Etty?"

"Wanna hold her some more? She's done with her nap."

"Me 'oles baby!" He squealed and clapped his hands and climbed onto the couch knowing the drill. Letty gently brought Miguel into her lap around holding the baby somehow and he mimicked the move he'd done at the hospital.

"'Ere Uncle 'E?

"Uncle Leon is at the store."

"Mommy 'tore?"

"Yeah mama's store." Brian came through the door and Miguel jumped down from Letty's lap after getting free from 'holding the baby' and waddled to Brian.

"Hey lil' man." He said picking Miguel up and settling him on his hip.

" 'I daddy." They walked into the kitchen and Mia greeted the both of them even though Miguel had been home all day.

"Letty!" She heard Mia call her. " Put Tiger down for a minute and come here." Letty rolled her eyes and did what she was told. She put Tiger in Miguel's playpen and went into the kitchen.

"What Mi?"

"When you guys leavin' for Le's moms place?"

"When Leon can get off long enough I guess. Why?"

"Well Rome,Suki,Tej and Jimmy are leavin' to go back to Miami tomorrow and we were gonna go out to eat. Wanna come out with Lily and Le?"

"Sure Mi, you know I'd love to." Mia turned her attention towards Miguel who was still in Brian's arms.

"Come on Miguel, lets get you ready" She took him from Brian and he went and got him a snapple as no one had replaced the Corona's that Leon had thrown out when Letty was pregnant. Letty was multi-tasking cleaning Lily up and calling Leon on the cell. Tej and Suki came through to door. Suki riding Tej piggy back.

"Hey guys." She jumped down. "What's goin' on bullet?"

"Goin' out to celebrate meeting you guys,"

"Oh shi...erlock I gotta get ready!" She ran upstairs where she was keeping all her stuff. Tej just rolled his eyes.

"Women." He got a snapple out of the fridge and sat down across from Brian. "You alright Bullet?"

"Neva betta man. Why you ask?"

"You act like you want to come out with us."

"Nah man, I'm stayin' with Miguel and Mia, no doubt."

" That why you ain't asked about Moni?"

"Monica don't have anything for me anymore man. I haven't thought about her for a while."

"Well good, she got herself a new one and she looks a lot happier than she was with you,"

"I'm happy for her then."

Suki came back down in a pair of tight pink jeans and a lighter shade of pink spagehitti strap tank top. Her hair was down and Tej about fell to the floor.

"Don't drool man, Mia just mopped this floor."

"Man, shut up."

"Hey Mia! Bring lil' bullet down here we gotta get goin' " She yelled up the stairs.

"Workin' on it Suki! Besides Leon and V ain't back yet!"

She yelled back down the stairs. On cue, Leon and Vince walked through the door. Leon went straight for Letty and Lily. Vince went downstairs to check on Jesse and to call Amanda. Mia came down the stairs with Miguel on her hip she'd dressed him in a pair of tan boots, a dark pair of jeans and a blue shirt that brought out those heartbreaker eyes. Tiger was in her car seat with her pasafire securely in her mouth, drifting to sleep sucking on it. They were all ready to go.

"How the he..ck are we all going to one place as a party?"

"We're going down to Applebees. Already reserved a table for us,"

"Ah, for Suki,me,you, Amanda,Tej,Roman,Brian,Leon,Vince,Jesse,Jimmy and a booster seat for Miguel?"

"Yeah."

"Mia that's eleven people, not to mention the kids!"

"Letty I've got it covered would you relax!"

"Yeah Let, we all chippin in with the bill." Suki said patting her pocket full of money. Tej came up and put his arms around Suki.

"We all takin' our own cars though. Ain't no way we all piling up in a few of 'em"

"Wouldn't dream of it," Letty said smoothly and went over to join Leon and Jesse who were holding Tiger.

"Alright look!" Mia said at the top of her lungs so everyone could hear her. "We're leaving so get in your cars and meet us there, follow the speed limits" She said looking at Tej and Roman who had a disappointed look on their face. They all got down their without any problems and enjoyed their last night together with all the people they'd come to know, but the California crew were happy to get back down to the few of them and the Miami crew were happy to be getting back home soon.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

They'd all said their goodbyes the next day and it was time for Lily's one month check up already. Miguel came into their room and was jumping on the bed between Leon and Letty.

"Up! Up! Mama say Uncle and 'Etty have to up!"

"Miguel go to sleep sweetheart." Letty said half asleep barely realizing who it was. Mia'd come in after him waking them both up.

"You guys have a doctors appointment to make. Get up!" She said shaking them. Leon woke up to Lily crying after Mia's voice had woken her up. Letty followed suit after quickly realizing her child was crying.

"She's hungry Le give her over." Leon handed Tiger off no questions asked and Letty took her into their ajoining bathroom to feed her as Miguel was in their room still jumping on their bed. Miguel's birthday was rolling around soon. He'd officially be a year old. Time was getting away from Letty here lately. There was a soft knock on the door.

"Let baby hurry up in their I still gotta get in the shower and you do to." She heard Leon say in a grogy voice on the other side of the door.

"Alright babe," She finished feeding Tiger and came out pulling her shirt down. "You can take a shower first babe."

"Why don't we kill two birds with one stone?" He said evilily. She couldn't help herself. She turned to Mia.

"She's been fed and changed. All she needs is some Aunt Mia time." Not really giving Mia any choice she put Tiger-Lily in Mia's arms and she pushed Leon throught the bathroom door closing it with her foot.

"Let's hope you don't have a brother or a sister anytime soon sweetheart" She said looking down at her neice. Lily fell asleep and Mia placed her back in the basanett next to Leon and Letty's bed. She went down the hall to her room to wake Brian up. He had agreed to stay with Miguel while Mia was at the store.

"Brian?"

"Hmm?" He said opening his eyes to look at Mia.

"Wake up babe, you got to stay with Miguel today rember?"

"Yeah." He started getting up and Miguel was waddling down the hall into his parents room.

"Daddy?"

"Yeah Miguel?"

" I go with 'Manda and 'Ince to the store?"

Brian looked at Mia to see if she knew what he was talking about.

"They're gonna go get groceries. He heard them talking about it in the kitchen this morning." She explained to him.

" If they say it's okay you can."

"Yay!" He took off down the hall to what Brian assumed would be Vince and Amanda.

"Hey Mia?"

"Yeah?"

"Is Vince serious about this girl he's got around?"

"I think so. She's been stayin' around alot and he's happier with her than any girl he's ever been with. I hope they are anyway."

"Me too. Even if the guy thinks I'm Lucifer I still want him to be happy you know?"

Mia walked over and sat in his lap and kissed him.

"Me too babe."

Brian motioned for her to stand up.

"As fun as that would of been, you need to get to the store."

"It's been a little slow lately,I can stay here."

"Sorry babe you got to work and I need to be getting to mine. Where's that wrecking ball son of mine?" He started off in his search for Miguel.

Mia'd gone off to work and Leon and Letty left for Tiger's doctors appointment. Letty was driving and Leon was flipping through radio channels and turned it off when he'd given up on finding a channel.

"Hey Letty? How come I've never heard you talk about your parents?"

Letty tried to not get angry with Leon for asking the question. It wasn't his fault and she sure didn't want to argue with him infront of their daughter.

"They're in Texas. Well my mom is anyways, my papi died when I was 11, but I'm pretty sure you knew that."

"How come you don't talk to her babe? The first minute I could get a way I called my mama and told her about Tiger."

"My mom was horrible to me Leon. I'm not acting like the stupid pricks who ruin their relationships with their parents because their stuck up, but my mom would tell me I wasn't anything. All I'd ever amount to be would be Dom's 2 dollar slut. When that wasn't enough to make me bawl in sorrow she'd slap me around some."

She had to pull over so she wouldn't wreck with her blurred vision from her tears. Talking about her mom tore her up inside. She was the only family Letty had left and she'd washed her hands of her so to speak.

"I'm sorry baby I didn't mean to make you cry." He said trying to get her to stop. He loved this woman with all of his heart and soul and to see her cry and him be the cause of it tore him up. "Want me to drive for a little bit?" She nodded in lack of words and traded off with him. They'd gotten to the hospital with Lily for her check up.

Dr. Anderson came in and did a routine exam of Tiger, asked Letty a couple of questions and gave Lily a clean bill of health. They set off for their car.

"Hey Letty?"

"What Le?"

"You can share my mom." Letty smiled and agreed with the idea. She'd never met Leon's mom before but with the way Leon felt about her she had to be an amazing woman.
