AN: Since Tanner doesn't have a first name it's going to be Chad
Part:11 of 18
Brian called his dad Wednesday to see if he could find out anything on Tom. Chad told Brian that he would see what he could find about Tom and then let him know as soon as he knew.
Brian just heard from his dad yesterday. Chad couldn't find anything on Tom. The thing none of them knew was there was something to find on him but they just weren't looking in the right place.
Friday December 29th
Brian couldn't wait until Mia's doctor's visit today at one. He was starting to get real excited about getting to see the babies for the first time. Brian decided on Tuesday that he was going to propose to Mia tonight after supper in front of everybody that way they could witness it. This way none of the guys could say that Brian didn't really propose to Mia.
"Hey Brian are you ready to go," Mia asked coming into the garage where Brian and Dom were working on Brian's car that had arrived around ten last night.
"Ok but I thought that your appointment wasn't until one," Brian asked looking at the clock to see it was only 11:30.
"It is but the doctor's office is twenty miles outside of town and with it being lunch time it'll take us awhile to get threw town," Mia said.
"Ok let me just go change and I'll be ready. Oh…" Brian said.
"Here take my car," Dom interrupted throwing his key to Brian.
"Thanks," Brian said catching the keys.
"No problem," Dom said turning back around to work on the car while Brian went into the house to change.
After Brian changed he came back into the garage where Mia was waiting for him.
"Ok you ready," Brian asked.
"Yeah," Mia said.
"See u later Dom," Brian said starting to head out of the garage.
"See you two later. Be careful Brian," Dom said.
"Don't worry I will be," Brian said taking Mia's hand in his.
"You better be," Dom said.
"Good bye," Mia said and with that they walked out to the drive way where Dom's car was sitting.
"So how do I get there," Brian asked once they were in the car.
"You remember the way that Dom went to get into town," Mia asked.
"Yeah," Brian said.
"Just go that way and I'll tell you once you get that far," Mia said.
"Ok," Brian said putting the car into reverse.
"So do you usually go alone or does one of the guys come," Brian asked checking to make sure that Tom wasn't trying to follow them.
"Usually Letty and Dom go with me," Mia said.
"Oh. Mia if Letty wanted to go she could have," Brian said.
"No she had something that she had to take care of," Mia said.
"Oh ok," Brian said.
After awhile of driving Mia noticed how Brian kept looking in the mirror.
"What are you looking at," Mia asked.
"Nothing," Brian said realizing that he'd been caught.
"Brian what is it? You're scaring me," Mia said.
"I think Tom's following us," Brian said knowing that he couldn't lie to Mia.
"Don't worry about him. Once we get to the doctor's office he won't be able to get in. See here they have the doctor's office set up that during the day you have to ring a bell to get in. There's usually someone right by the door and they know everybody. But if someone that's not supposed to be there tries to get in then they won't let them. He can't get in," Mia said.
"Oh ok. Does your doctor know about him," Brian asked jerking his head back towards Tom.
"Yeah she found out because one day she notice that I seemed quite stressed so she asked what was going on. I told her and she told me that if he got worse then to file a report but I haven't because he doesn't live that far away from us and I don't need trouble with the twins on the way," Mia said.
"So when you go to your appointment then does Letty or Dom go in with you," Brian asked.
"Yeah they both do. At first it was just Letty then one day Dom decided that he wanted to come. I didn't really care because it gave me support to get through this. And I'm happy that I've had him and Letty around since you couldn't be. All I can say is these two are not going anywhere near street racing until they're 20 years old," Mia said putting her hand on her stomach.
"First off I'm sorry that I couldn't be with you. If I had known then I would have figured out a way to get myself out too. And don't think that I didn't want to leave but I knew they'd really look into it if we both disappeared at the same time," Brian said.
"I know you would have been. I don't blame you or anything," Mia said taking Brian's hand and kissing it.
"Well that's good. Now why can't our two children go near street racing? It's going to be in their blood Mia and I'll be there making sure they don't get hurt," Brian said.
"I just don't want to see them end up getting hurt. If they want to race then we'll take them to a racetrack," Mia said.
"Mia I don't think that's going to work with their father and uncle racing all the time. Why don't we wait until they're born and then go from there? You know that I'd never let them race until they got their license. Besides they might not even like street racing," Brian said.
"Brian O'Connor you know these two are going to love racing. And I'm not buging on the street racing. Not until they're twenty or older," Mia said while thinking I don't want them to race but if they have to I want them to be with their dad or uncle.
"Where do I go now," Brian asked seeing that they were coming into town.
"Just keep going until you hit out of town. Then about two miles out there'll be a road called Riverlit. Turn there and then keep going until you hit the water," Mia said.
"So where is this place by a lake," Brian asked.
"Sort of. She's not a midwife but a doctor. Actually she's an old friend of mine from back in high school. She came out here after she got done with medical school," Mia said.
"So how did you find her and why does she work all the way out here," Brian asked as they were just about to hit the edge of town.
"Well she just opened up a new office in town. I read it in the paper. And she doesn't work out here usually but her daughter had her baby at her house so she asked if we could just meet her here today," Mia said.
"Oh so is her office usually where you have to ring the bell," Brian asked noticing that Tom was still following them.
"No not usually that's why Dom started coming partly. Tom always follows me when I go to my doctor's appointment," Mia said.
"So why don't you just get a restraining order against him," Brian asked.
"I've tried but they say that I don't enough proof. That's why I was hoping that he might be wanted back in the U.S. because then we wouldn't have to worry about him. Turn here," Mia said before Brian missed the turn.
"Well we'll just keep hoping that my dad can find something," Brian said.
"About your dad. Did you know that he was all your life," Mia asked.
"For the most part. Up until I was ten I thought that he was just my parents' friend. I found out when I saw my birth certificate. I was really upset with my parents for not telling me. I confronted my parents and they all sat down with me and talked it out. What happened was my mom and dad were dating back in high school. Then my mom got pregnant with me right before she started college. She never told my dad because he was going to school to become a cop. Then he left to go on the force and my step-dad was there to pick up the pieces that his older brother left behind. My dad was mad at first that my mom had cheated on him even though they were broke up. When I was about ten months old my mom finally told my dad that I was actually his son not his brother's. Since he said that he wasn't ready to be a dad and my step dad was doing such a good job he said he'd just act like friend to them but he wanted to tell me some day. So from then on he became a dad to me but he really wasn't like a dad. He was more like the person I went to when my parents said no. That worked for all of two years before they realized what was going on. Then it ended up being that I went to him when I couldn't talk to my parents. But I found out that he did tell them most of what I told him. What amazes me is that Letty and Dom met because he arrested them both," Brian said.
"That's amazing and yeah they were street racing each other which at the time they didn't know it was the other one. Dom finally met his match with her. Since then they've been together," Mia said.
"Oh," Brian said.
"Turn here," Mia said.
"Ok," Brian said and did.
"Her name is Sarah and she knows everything that's been going on," Mia said as they were walking up to the house.
"Ok," Brian said.
"Hey Mia how are you doing," Sarah asked coming to the door.
"As fine as I can be considering that I'm carrying twins," Mia said with her hand on her stomach.
"Well that's good come in," Sarah said standing out of the way for them to come in.
"So you must be Brian," Sarah asked.
"Yeah nice to meet you," Brian said sticking his hand out.
"Nice to meet you too. So Letty and Dom didn't come with you," Sarah asked shuting the door.
"No they had other things to do," Mia said.
"Ok. Well why don't you follow me and we'll get started," Sarah asked.
"Ok," Mia said and with that they followed Sarah to a back room where the equipment was already set up.
"Brian if you would help Mia up onto the bed we'll get started," Sarah said.
"Sure," Brian said sticking his hand out for Mia to take.
"I hope that I'm not taking up your bed," Mia said climbing on the steps by the bed and then onto the bed itself.
"No this is a spare bedroom that my daughter has. She's two rooms down resting while the babe does," Sarah said.
"Oh ok," Mia said getting comfortable on the bed.
"Brian while I go wash my hands if you don't mind would you move to the other side of the bed," Sarah asked.
"No problem," Brian said walking to the other side.
About fifteen minutes later Sarah came back.
"Ok sorry about taking so long I just wanted to make sure that my grandson was still sleeping. I'm afraid that my daughter is quite a heavy sleeper and doesn't always hear him when he wakes up," Sarah said starting to put on a pair of gloves.
"That's ok. So what did she name him," Mia asked.
"Roberto Allen Fry after his father," Sarah said.
"Well I bet he was shocked when she told him," Mia said.
"Yes he was in fact. He would be with her right now but he had to work today. Since Liz wasn't suppose to have him until next week Roberto doesn't start his leave until then," Sarah said.
"Well at least he'll start it after work today," Mia said.
"Yes. Now can you please move to your right so you'll be closer to me since I can't really reach you in the middle of the bed," Sarah said.
"Sure sorry I should have thought about that," Mia said.
"Don't worry you wouldn't think that a 5'4 girl couldn't reach the middle of this bed but it's a little hard for even me to," Sarah said.
"Yeah. What's up Brian," Mia asked turning to him because she noticed that he had his eyebrow raised.
"Are you sure she was your friend in high school," Brian asked.
"You didn't tell him Mia," Sarah asked while rolling the ultra sound machine over to the bed.
"Not the full story," Mia said.
"What's going on," Brian asked.
"Sarah's daughter is also Dom's daughter," Mia said.
"What you're pulling my leg right," Brian asked.
"No it's true she was born seven months after Dom and I broke up. I didn't tell Dom about Liz until she was almost a year old," Sarah said.
"Why not and how old is your daughter," Brian asked.
"She's going to be twenty in June. I didn't tell him because I didn't know how to tell him. When I got pregnant with Liz Dom and I were only ninth graders. Back when Liz was born it wasn't cool to have kids that young. Since my sister and her husband didn't have kids they decided that they would watch Liz for me during school and whenever I needed them to. They didn't raise her but they did help me a lot. When my parents found out that I was pregnant they were not happy at all. My father was about to disown me but he didn't because a week after he found out I had Liz. He fell in love with her as soon as he saw her. From then on he and my mom helped as much as they could too. My father wanted to kill Dom but I wouldn't let him because I told them that he didn't know. My father wasn't really happy that I didn't tell him but he understood," Sarah said.
"So did you break up with him or did he you," Brian asked a little confused.
"I broke up with him. It was just after I'd found out that I was pregnant. I only did it because I thought that he would if he found out about Liz. There are days that I wish I hadn't but it all worked out for the best in the end," Sarah said smiling.
"So how did he find out about his daughter," Brian asked.
"Well that's the funny part of it. I didn't actually tell him he found out himself. I was at the store one day and Dom happened to be there too. Liz ran off while I was looking at the fruits. I started panicking because I didn't know what had happened to her. After looking in all the isles that I thought she'd be in I decided that I'd just look down every isle. Well I had just come back to the fruit section when I saw a guy holding Liz up in the air. She started reaching her arms out to me so I ran over to her. But before I got to her Dom turned around. He knew that she was my daughter because she called me mommy. He would have probably asked me questions but after I got her back I just walked right out of the store. He chased me down but by the time he got to the car I was already leaving. Since we were already out of school for the summer he followed me to my sister's house and tried to talk to me. I didn't want to talk because I was afraid that he'd be mad at me for keeping her from him. And I was afraid that he might try to take her away from me. What I didn't know was she'd told him her birthday. Well she didn't know the exact day but she was close for only being a year old. Her birthday's on the 20th but she told him it was the 18th so he came over to my parents house then which happened to be two days later. Since my dad was home I had him watch Liz and we went up to the park to talk. I told him that she was his daughter and that I knew I was pregnant when we broke up. Of course he wanted to get back together right away but I didn't want to. He did see her and got to know her and hung out with her. He also came back for her 1 year birthday. I have about one of the only pix that have all three of us in it. See we got back together right before school started and stayed together until Dom got brought in for street racing and being under the influence of alcohol. He and I had gotten into some trouble in the past and that was the last straw for the state. I was also drinking that night but I got away before the cops got me. Dom did turn me in but only because he didn't know he had until the next morning after the alcohol had worn off. The state told me that I had exactly one month to clean up my act or they were taking Liz who was seven at the time away. I told Dom that I couldn't bear to have Liz taken away from me so we were through. He asked me to give him a chance and I did. But one month later he still hadn't cleaned up his act so I broke it off officially. But just a month after that I found out that I was pregnant again. This time I did tell Dom and he was happy as could be. Eight months later Dominic Jr wanted to make his way into the world. We were on our way to the hospital but we never made it there. There were a couple of kids that were street racing and they're the ones that hit us on the side that I was on. The impact killed Dom Jr. right away but I was alright. I was in the hospital for a month after that. Dom only needed a couple of stitches. He stayed with me until I got better but after that he only came around to see Liz. Neither of us have ever been the same since then. I'm sorry Mia," Sarah said setting the scoop of the ultra sound machine down before leaving the room.
"Oh God that could have been me," Brian said while Mia was trying to get up so she could go comfort Sarah.
"What," Mia snapped at Brian because she'd finally just gotten herself into a sitting position but was still trying to get off the bed.
"That night I was racing against Sean who's the one that hit Dom and Sarah. It would have been me but I pulled over when I saw that they were coming but Sean couldn't. Since his car was totaled he got out of the car and ran. Not really knowing and being young I fled too. Then the next day I saw the accident in the paper but they never said that a baby got killed," Brian said taking a seat on the bed.
"YOU BASTERED! YOU LET MY SON DIE? HOW COULD YOU? DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT DID TO ME AND DOM? DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG I BLAMED MYSELF FOR IT? AND WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEY NEVER SAID? THEY SAID IN THE PAPER THE NEXT DAY HOW THE BABY DIED AT THE SCENE OF THE CRASH," Sarah yelled coming back into the room.
"No they didn't. I read the paper but they never said anything about you being pregnant. All it said was how you two were just in the wrong place at the wrong time. All it said was you two were on a late night cruise. At first they thought Dom had been drinking but they found out that he wasn't. The reason that they couldn't figure out who's car it was, was the plates were taken off. I don't know how that happened because Sean didn't take them off and they were on there when I left," Brian said.
"Yes they did it's right here," Sarah said taking the clipping and shoving it into Brian's face.
"Oh my God they did," Brian said looking ready to be sick.
"Yeah they did. They said that the crash must have caused me to give birth or something because they found him on the ground and he was already dead also someone must have cut the cord since it was cut by time they got there," Sarah said.
"I'm so sorry Sarah if I had known at the time then I would have called the cops even if it had meant me and Sean going to jail," Brian said.
"Just answer one thing for me, why? Why didn't you," Sarah asked tears streaming down her face.
"Because if I got into anymore trouble with the cops then I was going to get my license taken away and I could have spent time in jail," Brian said not realizing that was the wrong thing to say.
"YOU WORTHIEST PIECE OF SHIT! GET OUT OF MY HOUSE NOW," Sarah said throwing the ultra sound picture at Brian.
"I said I was sorry," Brian said.
"GET OUT," Sarah screamed slapping Brian across the cheek.
"Come on," Mia snapped dragging Brian out of the house by the arm.
So what should have been a happy time for them ended up turning into a sad day.
Mia was so mad at Brian that she didn't say anything until he started talking which was when they were almost home.
"So why are you mad at me? I didn't do anything wrong but still you act like I did," Brian said turning his head to glance at Mia.
"You don't get it do you," Mia asked.
"No I guess not," Brian said.
"If you had just called the cops even if you hadn't stayed around then my nephew might still be around. But you chickened out and just left. I just hope you don't do that to these two," Mia said with her hands on her stomach.
"And what's that supposed to mean," Brian asked seeing the house just ahead.
"Well if you didn't want to call the cops when it wasn't even your fault how are you going to be when they decide that they want to come," Mia asked with her hands still on her stomach.
"I was eighteen years old when it happened. I had just told my dad that day that I wouldn't get into trouble," Brian said.
"Well that's the day my brother just got out of jail. He didn't bail on Sarah when she needed him," Mia said happy they'd be home very soon.
"Well it seems to mean that he did," Brian said pulling into the driveway.
"You don't know what you're talking about," Mia said.
"Let's see she needed him after she lost their son but he just walked away from her. And he hasn't seen his daughter in what two three years," Brian asked stopping the car.
Instead of replying Mia just slapped him across the face and got out of the car. She hadn't realized until she was walking to the garage that it was opened and Dom was still working on the car. He saw and heard everything.
"Mia what's wrong," Dom asked grabbing her arm on the way to the house.
"Nothing," Mia said jerking her arm out of Dom's grip then walking into the house.
Dom stood there for a few minutes trying to decide who he should talk to when Letty came out.
"What's wrong with Mia," Letty asked.
"I don't know but from what I heard I think he knows about Liz. Why don't you go talk to Mia and I'll talk to Brian," Dom said.
"Ok," Letty said kissing Dom's cheek.
As that was going on Brian had found the ultra sound of the twins and was still looking at it as Dom came around to the car and got in.
"Amazing isn't it," Dom asked.
"Jezz man scare me why don't you? And yeah it is," Brian said still trying to catch his breath.
"Sorry about that man. So what happened," Dom asked.
"What do you mean," Brian asked putting the ultra sound down.
"I know my sister well enough to know that she doesn't just go storming into the house for no reason. Besides I heard what was said so why don't you just come out and say the rest," Dom asked.
"Well I now know that you have two children and that I'm to blame for the death of your son," Brian said.
"What do you mean," Dom asked.
"That night I was there. The guy that hit you was Sean not the ass that helped me but another guy. He took off after he hit you two and I did the same. I didn't call the cops because I'd promised my dad just that day that I'd stay out of trouble. I know that you have to hate me so I'll just leave you and your family alone," Brian said starting to get out of the car before he found his arm being held in a vise like grip.
"Get in here," Dom said pulling Brian back into the car.
"What? Do you really want your nieces or nephews to be around someone that let their cousin die," Brian asked after he'd gotten back into the car.
"It's not your fault what happened. Even if I had been aware of what was going on I might not have been able to stop it," Dom said feeling a lump form in his throat.
"If I had called the cops then your son could have been saved," Brian said.
"No he couldn't have been. I don't know what happened but someone took our baby from us. Someone kidnapped our son when we weren't aware of what was going on and they replaced him with a dead baby. What Sarah remembers isn't how it happened. At first they thought that he'd been still born while we were on the way to the hospital but then they did an adtosphy and found out that the baby belonged to a couple that had lost their child two months earlier. As they were going over the crime scene they saw that someone had somehow had Sarah give birth and then replaced our son with a child that was supposed to be buried. In the beginning they thought that we'd dumped our son's body somewhere. Then they found out that we hadn't. The only reason that all the newspapers say something totally different is because I had them printed up like that. Liz doesn't even know the full truth because she was too young then. Sarah's parents and sister do but I asked them not to tell because I knew if she knew it'd tear her up. I was afraid that she'd spend all her time trying to find him. I did try to find him but there were no leads and there wasn't anything to go on. You were right I wasn't there when she needed me most of all," Dom said starting to cry.
"God man I'm sorry and I didn't know. So do they think he might still be alive," Brian asked feeling himself get teary eyed.
"Since no one every sent a ransom note they think that whoever took him had something against me. Every night for the last eleven years I've prayed that he's out there still alive," Dom said.
"If you want me to ever have anything looked into just let me know and I'll have my dad do it," Brian said tears running down his cheeks now.
"Thanks man that means a lot to me," Dom said starting to laugh.
"What's so funny," Brian asked turning to look at Dom.
"Well I was just thinking looking at your face we're out here crying where anyone can see us. I'm just thinking what the women would say if they saw us," Dom said smiling while wiping off his face.
"Yeah I don't really want to know," Brian said wiping off his own face.
What both of them weren't aware of was that someone was taking pictures of them.
"You know I never get tired of looking at those," Dom said seeing that Brian was looking at the ultra sound picture again.
"Why you look at my childrens' a lot," Brian asked looking up from the ultra sound.
"No I look at Liz's and Dom Jr.'s," Dom said.
"You have them on you," Brian asked.
"Yeah I have them everywhere I go," Dom said getting them out of his wallet.
"If you don't mind my asking what is Liz's middle name," Brian asked.
"Her full name is Elizabeth Grace Toretto," Dom said.
"I like that name," Brian said.
"Yeah so do I. The funny part is I told Sarah what I wanted to name my daughter if I ever had one and she did. Elizabeth was my mother's name and Grace was my great grandmother's name," Dom said.
"That's really special," Brian said.
"Yeah we were going to name our son Dominic BernardToretto Jr.," Dom said.
"Different but cool. So was it your idea or hers," Brian asked.
"I wanted to name him Bernard after my father who never got to see his grandson born. I left his first name up to Sarah and she wanted to name him after me. I asked her if she didn't want to name him after her father but she didn't because she really didn't like her father's name," Dom said.
"What was his name," Brian asked.
"Richey Bernard Young," Dom said.
"Ok that's a little weird. So you were going to name him after her dad too since Bernard was his middle name," Brian said.
"Yeah," Dom said and with that they sat out in the car looking at the ultra sound pictures.
Meanwhile well that was going on Letty was talking to Mia or more like her door.
"Mia," Letty asked knocking on Mia's door.
"Go away," Mia said just wanting to be left in piece.
"Mia what's wrong," Letty asked.
"I said go away," Mia said.
"If it's because Brian knows about Liz don't worry. He'll come around to except it in time," Letty said.
Mia still chose not to answer so Letty did the only thing she could think of.
"Oh hey Jess," Letty said.
Mia who knew that Jess didn't know about Liz flew out of her bed and to the door faster then she had since she'd gotten pregnant with the twins.
"Wait," Mia said after she opened the door and remembered that Jess, Vince and Leon weren't at the house right now.
"Now that I got you to open the door mind if I come in," Letty asked putting her door in the doorway so Mia couldn't shut the door on her.
"Fine," Mia said seeing Letty's foot in the doorway.
"Thank you," Letty said coming in and shutting the door behind her.
"So what's going on with you and Brian," Letty asked walking to Mia's bed and sitting down by her.
"Well Brian now knows about Liz and Dom Jr. Letty he knows who hit them and he saw it with his own two eye! But he ran off and didn't call the cops," Mia said wanting to cry because of the memories that it brought back up.
"Mia how much did Dom really tell you about that night," Letty asked wondering to herself why she was bring it up.
"He told me how the accident somehow made it that Sarah gave birth but by time they got there he was dead," Mia said.
"That's not the way it happened," Dom said walking into the room.
"What are you talking about," Mia asked seeing Brian come in behind Dom.
The guys had finally decided that they'd come check on Mia.
"What I told you wasn't what really happened," Dom said taking a seat at the chair by Mia's desk.
"What are you talking about," Mia asked.
"The baby they found on the floor of the car wasn't our son. He belonged to a couple that's baby had died two months before then. Someone took our child and switched it with a dead child," Dom said.
"Why didn't you tell me," Mia asked looking hurt and ready to cry.
"Because I didn't think you could handle it at the time. I didn't even tell Sarah what really happened because I knew she'd do everything in her power to try and find him. I didn't want to see it destroy her and Liz loose her mother in the process. I looked and searched for him but there wasn't anything to go off or any leads. I looked for a year straight and came up empty handed. I've prayed for the last eleven years that he's still out there alive," Dom said feeling tears running down his cheek.
"You should have told her Dom. Do you know how much she blamed herself for his death," Mia asked starting to cry now and leaning into Brian's embrace.
"Yes and do you know how much she would have blamed herself if she'd known," Dom asked.
"Not as much as she did," Mia said.
"Mia she would have been out there looking for him until she ended up in the hospital because of the pain it caused her," Dom said.
"And this has been so much better always wondering what if," Mia asked.
"Yes this way she can move on. If she'd known then every time she saw a little boy that looked like him she would have been seeing if it was him. She would have put herself into an early grave," Dom said.
Mia would have said something but at that time the guys walked into the house.
"Hello anyone home," Jess yelled.
"Yeah we'll be right down," Dom yelled.
"I don't want any of you to tell them what was said in this room or with Sarah. They don't know and they don't need to know at this moment. Do I make myself clear," Dom asked standing up while wiping off his face.
"Yes," Mia, Brian and Letty said at once.
So after that Dom and Letty went down stairs to talk to the guys. Mia and Brian could hear what they were saying but they chose to inore them.
"Are you going to be alright," Brian asked seeing that Mia was still crying.
"I will be. Brian I'm sorry for what I said earlier," Mia said.
"Don't worry about I'm the one that's sorry I didn't even stop to think of what that must have been like for your family," Brian said leaning down to kiss Mia's head.
Seeing that Mia looked ready to fall asleep Brian started to get off the bed.
"Please just rest with me," Mia said putting her arm on Brian's.
"Ok," Brian said laying down.
In no time both of them fell asleep. Before falling asleep Brian decided that he would let things get back to normal or as normal as they could before he proposed to Mia. He was only planning on waiting until midnight Monday morning before proposing to her. But what he didn't know was someone else had the same idea.
Brian and Mia didn't wake up until Dom came in around 5:30 to say that dinner would be ready in about ten minutes.
After they got up and were awake they went down stairs to see that supper was just getting set on the table.
"Have a nice nap you two," Letty asked setting down the potatoes.
"Yeah," Brian said while pulling out a chiar for Mia.
"Well that's good. Supper's ready," Letty shouted into the living room where the guys were.
They weren't in there by choice but by Letty's. She had kicked them all out because they had been wanting to start before it was all done.
"Feeling better," Jess asked looking at Mia.
"Yeah I was just tired," Mia said while thinking What did they tell you?
Everyone was just about to start eating when the doorbell rang.
"I'll get it," Dom said putting his napkin on the chair.
Dom not even thinking didn't look out the peep hole to see who it was. He just opened the door which was a very bad mistake.
"Hel," Dom started to say before he was getting yelled at by Sarah.
"Why? Why didn't you tell me that was our son we buried? Why did you let Mia do this? 11 years! 11 years I've thought that our son was dead. But now I find out that he could still be alive. Why did you let me go through that," Sarah yelled at Dom while hitting him on the chest.
"What are you talking about," Dom asked taking her hands.
"This," She said throwing the news clipping at Dom.
Dom who wasn't used to getting yelled at by girls that short let go of Sarah's wrist which she chose to then run off crying. Dom then picked up the clipping and saw that it was the real one from that night a 11 years ago.
"Shit," Dom exclaimed running after Sarah not realizing that everyone was in the living room wondering what was going on.
"Sarah," Dom yelled running after her.
"Leave me alone," Sarah yelled trying to get in her car but not fast enough before Dom got to it and grabbed her arm and spun her around.
"What," Sarah asked her face away from Dom's.
"Will you look at me," Dom asked.
"What do you want," Sarah asked crying.
"I didn't have Mia leave it for you. Until tonight she didn't even know the whole truth either. I didn't tell you because I knew it'd tear you up. I searched for our son for a year straight. Any little lead I got I went for. After five months the case went cold but I didn't stop looking. Do you know how hard it's been for me since Mia's gotten pregnant? And for the last 11 years I've always wondered if any of the kids at the park could be our son. I've never stopped hoping or praying that I'd find him someday," Dom said letting go of Sarah because he knew she wouldn't try to run.
"Why didn't you tell me? We could have looked together," Sarah said.
"Because I was afraid that if I did then I'd loose you too. I'd already lost one person I loved and I couldn't bear the thought of a second," Dom said.
"You don't have to feed me that garbage. I know we just weren't mean to be," Sarah said staring to stop crying.
"It's true why do you think that we didn't start dating until three years ago? He held onto you for that long," Letty said coming outside.
"I was always right here," Sarah said.
"Maybe your body but not your soul. You died some that day when we lost our son. I didn't want to loose the rest of you because I knew that I couldn't be the soul provider for our daughter so that's why I chose not to tell you the real truth," Dom said.
"I'm sorry that I couldn't be there for you," Sarah said.
"I'm the one that's sorry," Dom said pulling Sarah into a hug.
"I think I better get back before Liz wonders what happened to me," Sarah said starting to get into her car.
"Why don't you come join us for supper besides I think that Dom has some explaining to do to the guys," Letty said.
"I couldn't do that," Sarah said.
"I insist. Look you can call Liz and let her know that you'll be a while so she doesn't worry," Dom said.
"Ok," Sarah said and with that the three of them walked into the house.
"Everything ok," Mia asked coming up to Dom.
"It will be," Dom whispered to Mia.
"Guys I want you to come into the living room because I have something very important to tell you," Dom said.
"Can we finish eating first," Jess asked.
"Just bring your plates into the living room," Letty said coming back from showing Sarah where the phone was.
"Ok," Jess said.
After Sarah got off the phone with Liz she and Dom told everything. They each told what they knew for every part of the story.
Later that night by time three guys went to bed they had heavy hearts and heavy minds. But there were four that weren't able to fall asleep. But when they did three dreamed of what it must have been like for Dom and Sarah and one dreamed in what he wasn't sure were flashbacks of that terrible night or just dreams. He'd been having theses dreams quite a bit since Vince had come to Italy.

AN: NOT UPDATING UNTIL I GET FOUR REVIEWS!
AN2: I know that's a lot for three chapters but the story was starting to get a little blain for me so I decided to spice it up a bit. Or like Emeril says kick it up a notice!
