Takerlover21 – Yeah, I loved the chat Casey & Letty had. I tried to make it a little funny. I think I am going to go with Dom as the dad. Seems everybody wants him to be the dad. I'll find a twist to throw in. :evil grin:
Jada91 – Yeah, Letty's going to have to put Casey on birth control. She needs it! You'd think that having Lynn would be enough birth control to stop JJ from being born. Hmm.
StreetRacinChiki – Yeah, I think I'll go with Dom being the father. That name is so cute. It just goes together so well.
Angel-Chickie – Yeah, I do believe that the father will be Dom's. That's what everybody wants. Thanks for the input.
SpecialButNotEd – Thanks for the input. I think now it is safe to say that the baby will be Dom's kid.
Bima – OMG! Your review made me laugh. Not being able to chose between Deke and Dom. Haha. It was like your head was arguing with itself. It was great.
Mrs Hahn – I feel special. Delaying the gym for my story. :grin: Thanks for the review, hun.

I watched as Dom walked up the street without me. I wrapped my arms around my waist and frowned, biting my bottom lip. Should I go home, or should I go somewhere else? Would I never hear the end of it? I sighed and put one foot before the other, walking toward my house.

Suddenly I felt a rush of anger build inside of me. I wondered where it came from but then I remembered that Dom said he'd leave if the baby wasn't his. What could that possibly mean for us? I crossed my arms and headed home.

I reached the driveway just as he walked in the front door. Casey was standing there, holding the door open. I sighed and walked up the driveway to the front door. She looked at me as I walked through the door.

"Hey mom. What's up?" She asked. I shook my head and sighed as I heard my bedroom door slam shut. "Something wrong?"

"No, Casey, everything is fucking fine." I said quietly walking into the kitchen. I opened the fridge and pulled out a bottle of beer. Casey walked into the kitchen and watched me as I opened the drink and took a long drink.

"Mom?" She asked quietly, as if she were afraid of asking. I pulled out a chair from the table roughly and sat down in it. She walked slowly to the table and looked at me. "Mom."

"What?" I asked staring at the top of my bottle.

"Give." She said reaching for the bottle. I took one last drink and handed the empty bottle to her. She took the bottle and walked to the trashcan, dropping it inside. "You know you aren't supposed to drink. It's not healthy for the baby, you know." I nodded and she sat down in the chair beside me. "Did something happen?"

"No." I lied.

"And you're lying." I looked at her and hiccupped. "Mom, just tell me."

"I stayed the night somewhere and your dad over reacted." I shook my head and looked up at her. I put my head back and shook it again and looked back up at her again. "That beer just hit me." She chuckled.

"So, where'd you stay the night?"

"Deke and Craig's."

"You didn't." She said not believing it. I raised an eyebrow and nodded.

"I did. Your dad must have been going door to door looking for me. I'm actually surprised that Dom didn't kick Craig's ass." Casey looked at me with a scowl. "I had to tell Deke I was pregnant, he needed to know. It could just as well be his as well as your dads. We argued and I crashed on the couch. I swear, nothing happened, Casey." She looked at me, not believing it. "Casey."

"Craig shot you, you shot him and you stayed the night at his house last night?" I nodded a little. "Mom! You can't be there, it's not right. Isn't it, like, against the law or something?"

"No." I said dragging out the ending. "Why would that be against the law?" She shrugged her shoulders and I chuckled, shaking my head. "Uh. Okay. All we did was talk. And I helped him put away the dishes." She chuckled and I smiled a little. "He apologized, not that I forgave him."

"Why did you go over there anyway?"

"I told you I had to tell Deke that I was pregnant. He needed to know. It wouldn't have been fair if he didn't know. And honestly, I'm glad I told him." She looked at me, questioning 'why?' with her eyes. "Your dad said that he wouldn't be around if the baby wasn't his."

"Oh." She said with a hint of sadness in her voice. "He said that?" I nodded and she sighed with a frown. There were footsteps on the steps in the living room and we both looking toward the door as Dom walked through. I looked over at Casey and she nodded a little, standing up. She walked passed Dom, giving him a small smile, and walking into the other room. He walked over to the fridge and pulled out a beer.

"Put that back." I said scratching my temple and looking over to him. He sighed and I heard the clink of the bottles meeting each other. "It's not even noon, it's too early for beer."

"Are you pissed off at me?"

"Yes." I said rubbing at my eyes. I wasn't tired but my eyes felt itchy for some reason. Was it because I was holding back to tears? "How would you feel if you were me?"

"How would you feel if you were me?" He questioned back. "I came here this morning and you weren't here. Not to mention that the kid was worried. I go door to door for two blocks to find you at an ex's house. The ex that happened to put you in jail." I rolled my eyes.

"Yeah, well Casey told me you went to see Jade. Why'd you go there? Oh yeah, Dom, the ex that put me in jail. Don't you fit that description as well?" I asked standing up and stepping toward him. I leaned against the counter next to him.

"What are you saying, Letty?" He questioned pushing me into the counter, boxing me in with his arms.

"Tell me why you were at Jade's and I'll tell you why I was where I was." I leaned back, arching my back over the counter. "Seems fair, right?"

"She needed somebody to talk to."

"You couldn't have used the phone?" I asked quickly. He moved one of his arms and ran a hand over the top of his head and rubbed the back of his neck. "Well?" I asked quietly.

"She wanted to talk to me, Let, okay?" I nodded. "Your turn."

"I went for a walk after you left. Couldn't stay here and stay sane. So, I walked around the block and I stopped there. I had to tell Deke that I was pregnant. It just so happens that Craig was there. Deke and I got into an argument and I didn't feel like walking home in the dark. I crashed on the couch. When I woke up, Craig was up and all we did was talk."

"Yeah. That's what he told me." I nodded and bit my lip. His eyes were wandering around the room with no destination. "He seemed pretty nice."

"Dom?" His eyes wouldn't meet mine. He was hiding something. "Dominic." His eyes finally met mine, but they weren't normal. "Dom, what's wrong? You aren't still mad at me for this are you?"

"No." He said shaking his head. He sighed and I put a finger under his chin, forcing his eyes back into mine again. "I slept with Jade last night." My eyes searched the entire kitchen before that registered in my head.

"What?" I questioned putting my hands on his chest.

"I slept with Jade last night." I pushed on his chest roughly and glared at him. "Letty." I shook my head and chuckled to myself halfheartedly. "Please, let me explain." I shook my head again and shoved him as he stepped closer.

"Get out of my house, Dom." He opened his mouth to speak. I shook my head and looked at my hand. I twisted the ring off of my finger and held it in my fist. "And you can take this with you." He took it and looked at it, running his fingers over it.

"Letty."

"Just." I couldn't even finish my sentence. "Leave." He nodded and walked to the back door. He took one last look at me before opening it and walking out, closing it softly behind him. I took a deep breath and shook my head. Casey walked into the kitchen and looked at me. I shook my head again and walked passed her, through the living room and up the stairs to my room. The bed closed as my face met my fluffy pillow.

"Grandma?" Lynn asked from the other side of the door. I wiped my eyes quickly and sat up, looking at the door. "Are you okay?" Of course I wasn't okay, kid, I was hurt and upset.

"Yeah. Lynn, I'm fine."

"Can I come in?" She asked. I sighed and took a deep breath.

"Yeah, come in." The door opened and she walked in, closing the door behind her. "What's up, baby?" I asked quietly. She walked over and sat on my bed next to me. I crossed my legs in front of me and she smiled up at me.

"I wanted to ask you a question." She sounded sophisticated when she spoke. I chuckled because I knew she was trying to show me that it was a serious question and not a childish question. I nodded and she smiled a little. "Do you know who my dad is? I asked mom but she just starts crying so I don't ask anymore."

"Oh. Well, I'm not sure I'm allowed to talk to you about it. If I knew I could, I would talk to you about it. I've never met your father but the way your mom described him he sounds like a good man."

"Oh. Okay."

"Is that all you wanted?"

"Yeah." She said nodding his head. "I'm going to go watch cartoons." I nodded and smiled as she got off my bed and walked to the door. She stopped and turned back toward me. "Thanks grandma." I nodded and smiled. She opened the door and Casey was standing there. "Hey mom." Lynn said looking up at her mom.

"Are you going to watch cartoons?" Lynn nodded and smiled. "Can you keep an eye on your brother for a few minutes?"

"Yeah, sure." She smiled and nodded. Casey watched as Lynn walked down the stairs slowly then turned her attention back toward me.

"Can I come in?" She asked. I sighed and nodded with a forced smile. She walked in, closing the door behind her. She slowly walked over and sat next to me. "I didn't believe it, but I heard it. Sadly."

"Yeah, well, that's your dad for you." She frowned. "I think you expected too much from him and he let you down. I can't help that, hun." She nodded.

"I'm here if you need a shoulder to cry on."

"Ditto." She leaned in toward me and wrapped her arms around me slowly. "Damn you, don't make me cry." She chuckled and put her head on my shoulder. I took a deep breath and put my arms around her.

"So, what are the plans for the day?" I chuckled.

"Thanks." She nodded. "Um. Nothing. Why?"

"I thought you had something at my aunts house?"

"Uh crap." I looked around the room. "Do you want to go? Food." She nodded and smiled.

"Sure." I smiled and nodded a little. "I'm all for food." I chuckled and she smiled bigger.

"Casey!" Jason shouted from the bottom of the stairs. I walked in from the living room and looked at him. "Why isn't she ready?" He whined. I chuckled and walked over to him.

"Have you seen her in the morning?" He looked at me and nodded. I stepped up behind him and smiled a little. "She needs time to get pretty." He chuckled and Casey appeared at the top of the stairs.

"I heard that." I rolled my eyes.

"He's right, we got to get out of here." She walked down the stairs and Jason pulled her into his arms. "Ready?" She nodded and I smiled. "Then grab the little ones and let's go. I'm hungry." They both chuckled and we all looked at Lynn who poked her head over the back of the couch.

"Ready?" Casey asked Lynn. She nodded and smiled. Casey pulled away from Jason's arms and walked over to the playpen in the corner, which held a sleeping JJ. She cradled him in her arms and almost immediately Jason was by her side, ready to take him if she needed. She did.

Absentmindedly I thought that Jason would be a good father. I had no idea where the thought came from. I smiled and leaned against the front door. I reached for the doorknob and pulled the door open. Lynn jumped off the couch and took off for the stairs.

"TONY!" She yelled. "Come on!" I chuckled and looked at Jason.

"How's the car situation going to work?" I asked looking at Jason because he was the only other person in the room that drove. "Five people and a car seat won't work in my car."

"Well, JJ's car seat is in my car so I'll take him and Case. You can take Tony and Lynn." He smiled and I nodded. "Work?"

"Yes. That works." He smiled and nodded.

"Mom?" Tony asked from the stairs. I looked over at him and he smiled a little. "Are we leaving yet?" I nodded and he finished down the stairs with Lynn behind him.

"You two are lucky. You get to ride with me." I said pointing to Lynn and Tony. "But your both back seating it."

"Well, I'm glad you decided to come, Letty." Leon said nudging me in the ribs with his elbow. I looked at him over my cup and nodded a little. "So, who were the kids you came with?"

"Huh?" I asked. He motioned in the direction of Casey and Jason who were making out at a picnic table where the kids were eating. "Well, that girl is Casey. She's my daughter. And the boy she's making out with is Jason, her boyfriend. The boy sitting across from them is Anthony, call him Tony, he's my son. Then Lynn is next to him. Lynn just happens to be JJ's sister, JJ being the baby."

"JJ and Lynn are your kids?" He asked with his eyebrows raised.

"No, my grandkids." Just when I thought his eyebrows couldn't get higher, they did. Amazing. I chuckled a little and Mia walked over, dropping down on Leon's lap. "Hey Mia."

"I'm glad you came, Letty. You seen Dom?" I shook my head and she nodded, raising a beer bottle to her lips. "He said he'd come with you. He said you two were engaged. Can I see your ring?"

"Mia, baby, I think you should take it easy on the beer." Leon said reaching for the bottle. She moved it away from his hand and took another drink. I chuckled and looked at Mia.

"We broke up, Mia." She nodded and frowned. "He slept with his ex wife." Her jaw dropped and I chuckled, nodding a little. "Plus I'm pregnant and unsure of who the father is. He said if it wasn't his, he's leaving." Seriously. So this was for the best, right?

"Who's that?" Mia asked pointing to the opposite side of the yard. I looked and Casey was talking to some guy who looked a bit older than her. I looked back at Mia and shrugged my shoulders. "Oh."

"Never seen him before." I looked over to where Casey and Jason were making out and Jason was sitting there, watching them carefully. I made a funny face when I caught him taking a drink of beer. "I'll be back." I stood and walked over to Jason slowly. He stood a little when I reached him. He sat back down at the same time I did. Jason was always polite.

"What's up, Ms. Ramirez."

"Call me Letty. Or you can call me mom." He sighed and looked across the yard. I looked quickly and the guy was kissing Casey. I looked back at Jason and he was shaking his head, taking another drink of the beer he had in his hand. I reached for the beer and took it from his grasp. "You're too young to drink."

"I know. I'm sorry." I nodded a little and he looked at me. I set the beer down and looked back over at Casey.

"Who is that over there with Casey? He looks a little familiar but I've never met him." I looked back at him and he stood so I stood too. "Jason, who is he? This is seriously bothering you." He nodded and I pushed him so he was sitting back down.

"Oh, don't you know? That's Lynn's dad."

"Huh? I thought he left her? Why the hell would she be kissing him?" He shrugged and I looked over at him.

That's where I'm ending this chapter. Sorry guys. Saving the drama for the next chapter. Heh. I'm SHOCKED at all the feedback I got on my last chapter. So happy.
I know probably most of the people who read this story are probably young but I just saw this commercial and I liked the song that was playing. It's a commercial for a Subaru B9 Tribeca. I know the name of the song is called "Dust in the Wind" but I want to know whom it's by. I want to download it. Lol. I like it. If anybody can help, I'd be forever grateful.
