A/N; I wanna thank Maliek for the kind review. I'm glad you like it so far. On with the story.

Leon, Letty and Tiger had all gone down to Florida to see Leon's mom. Vince was getting the last of his stuff moved into Amanda's house. So all that was left at the fort was Mia,Miguel,Brian and Jesse and even Jesse had made himself scarce lately. She and Brian were talking.

"What do you think about me selling the store?"

"It's where we first met, I thought you might want to keep it."

"Yeah, but it's also where a lot of my memories of Dom are. My mother started that store and when she ran off my papi took it over, and when he died Dominic took care of it and I thought I was going to, but it hurts me to walk into that store everyday and have a flashback of my dad or Dom."

"Well sweetie why didn't you say somethin'?"

" 'Cause that's Letty's store as well as mine, she said she was fine with it."

"So why are you asking me?"

"Just thought I'd get your two cents."

"What ever makes you happy Mia I'm fine with."

"Good," Miguel came in the kitchen rubbing his eyes.

"Mama?"

"What's the matter Miguel?" She said adjusting him on her hip.

"Noodles." He told her. Miguel's favortie thing in the world was macoroni and cheese. He'd picked it up when Letty was craving it and now he wanted it all the time. She heard Jesse calling her from the house garage and she put Miguel down.

"Daddy'll fix you some sweetheart. Uncle Jesse's calling mama." Brian tried to get out of it but by then it was too late Mia was already out of the door and he turned back around to see his 11 month old son staring back at him.

"Noodles daddy, noodles!" Miguel told Brian.

"Alright, alright Miguel wait a minute." He found a pot to boil macoroni noodles in and put it on the stove.

"Daddy?"

"Yeah?"

"Where baby?" Miguel missed Tiger horribly and he'd ask Brian or Mia everyday where she was.

"Tiger's with Uncle Leon and Aunt Letty, Miguel. Where she was yesterday."

"Well why don't they come back?" Miguel asked him with puppy eyes. Brian sighed.

"Why don't chu go watch T.V. while daddy fixes your noodles alright?"

"O'tay." He went into the living room and watched cartoons until Brian called him back into the kitchen.

Leon and Letty were at Leon's mom's house. She hadn't put Tiger-Lily down since they'd gotten there except to take a nap. Letty was suprised that Leon had his mom's eyes. She guessed they were just a strong family trait.

Leon was right about his mom. She treated Letty as her own and for once she felt that the generation above her wasn't as bad as they seemed. She hadn't felt that way since Tony had saved her from her own mom.

"Letty..." Misty said shaking her. "Leticia? You in there?" Letty snapped out of it.

"Yeah Misty?"

"What'd I say about that sweetheart? You can call me mom."

"Yes mom." Letty said playfully.

"She's hungry." She told her as she handed Lily to her.

"I don't know if I'm gonna make it outta here with her." She said jokingly going down the hall to a secluded room as to not give the whole house a peep show.

"You're welcome to stay as long as you want to Letty, you and Le know that."

"We know mom." She said before shutting the door. She came out a few minutes later empty handed.

"What'd you do with her sweetheart?"

"She's asleep in the basanett,"

"Ah, come here I want to talk to you for a minute." She said patting the kitchen table. Letty sat across from her.

"What are yours and Leon's plans on getting married? It's pretty obvious ya'll are infatuated with each other."

"Ummm, we haven't talked about it yet." She said embarrased she hadn't even thought about marrying the father of her daughter. Her cheeks were turning red. "My sister is getting married in two weeks though. I guess Leon planned on bringing it up then."

"Well you be sure to give me a call when you guys do set a date. I'd love to help you plan it some. Me and Leon's daddy just had a little thing with our family there. Leon would love that. He's used to always joke he was going to elope with the girl of his dreams and ride off into the sunset with her."

"Wouldn't have it without you there Mom." That made Misty smile. Leon came through the door talking on his cell.

"Yeah Jes, just do what you can for it bro, don't worry if it flat lines."

"Ya'll talking about surgery over there honey?" Misty said looking at her son.

"No mama, Jesse wanted to know what he wanted me to do with this car we just got in."

"Oh, Jesse? How's the poor dear? I hear he's had a rather rough year." Leon knew what this was going to lead to.

"Hey Jes? Mom wants to talk to you." You could here Jesse say " Oh Mom! put her on!". He handed the cellphone to his mom and ushered her outside so she'd get a better signal and sat down with Letty.

"Where's Tiger?"

"Asleep. I just fed her."

"I see. How was the day with mom?"

"I finally got a nap, and I got up and your mom was talking to our daughter. She was telling her about you and what you did at her age."

"Hmmm, wonder if I should be worried." He said playfully.

"Nah, she was just talkin' about how you would wake up in the middle of the night ,and how your smile made it all worth it, that kinda thing."

"I just hope we're as good grand parents as my mom is to Tiger."

"Me too babe,"

They enjoyed their stay with Misty,but glad to be getting back home. Letty drove all day, and Leon drove all night and they got back to California late the next day. Miguel heard a car pull up and stood up on the couch to look out the window. He saw Letty get out of the car and stretch and ran into the kitchen.

" 'etty and Uncle home! ' Iger too!" He told his parents. Mia leaned over the sink and sure enough Letty and Leon were getting out of the Skyline. Miguel was standing at he door when they walked in. Leon scooped him up.

" Hey lil' man."

" 'I Uncle Le!" He reached out for Letty and Letty put the car seat carrying Tiger down to get him from Leon.

"Hey lil' man. I misses you."

"I miss too 'Etty," She handed him back to Leon and put Tiger in the playpen and went into the kitchen. Mia hugged her.

"It's about time."

"We made a bee line from Miami to Florida now, give us some credit." She gave Brian a quick hug and went to go see Jesse so he could acknowledge her exisistance.

Miguel got down from Leon's grip and went over to his play pen to see his baby cousin.

" 'I 'Iger. Me glad you back." He told her and then went off into his own languge containing something about noodles and rugrats. The rest you couldn't understand if you tried, but Tiger loved it.

They all gathered around for dinner that'd Mia'd made. After friendly conversation Miguel got tired and Mia put him to sleep in his new room. Which happened to be next to Mia's room. Dom's old room. Mia joined the rest of them out in the living room.

"Hey guys?"

"Yeah Mi?"

"What you guys think about bumping up my marital arrangement?"

"What you mean?" Letty asked not getting it.

"I mean why don't we leave for Vegas tomorrow?" Letty grinned ear-to-ear at the idea.

" I'll call Amanda and V !" Leon just rolled his eyes and put them back on the T.V. That was a yes.

"See I told you they'd love it." Brian told her putting his head on her shoulder.

"I thought they would.
