Behind Closed Doors
My second Dom and Letty fic
Based off Furious 7 guys and gals so if you haven't seen the movie, read at own risk….
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters though if I did I'd be locking Dom in a cage and keeping him as a pet ;)
Chapter 3: Reality
Dom and Letty were finally moving what little they had at the O'Conner household back into 1327. If she was honest, Letty was terrified. Excitement was floating around her somewhere too but for the first time in months, and since her memories had come flooding back she and Dom would be just that, her and Dom. She'd finally allowed Dom to take a sledgehammer to the gravestone that bared her name.
Two reasons existed for this. One, Dominic Toretto had finally put a ring on it and two, She'd legally changed her name. She wasn't Leticia Ortiz anymore, she was Leticia Toretto. As much as felt secure, more secure than she'd ever felt with Dom before, she was having a hard time getting used to mail coming in with her married name on. Her driver's license, her ATM cards, everything had been changed and the only thing not able to comprehend it was her own brain.
Reality was kicking in big time. Brian and Dom packed everything into the O'Conner's new black SUV, Mia deciding that her weekend racer husband just didn't suit the minivan they'd originally picked. Brian had been more than happy to see the back of it, and it wasn't just because of the damage caused by the blast. So off he'd gone with Dom and come home with it straight out the showroom.
Letty watched them from the front door and was in a bubble of her own when Mia appeared by her side
"You know Let if you aren't ready to go, you can stay"
Letty turned to childhood and best friend and blinked away the hot prickling behind her eyes
"That's not it Mi…. it's just so….. real, you know? Ive gone from not knowing who I was to reliving every moment, every feeling. Fifteen years of Dom included…. I just wonder if I'm the same person I was"
"You were our Letty before you remembered, Dom told me about the race in London, whether you remembered or not, you were still Letty."
"It's the name thing Mia. I can't get my head around it."
"Tell you a secret? Mia O'Conner still feels completely foreign to me" Mia said smiling as she looked at her husband then back at Letty "But I promise you, you'll get there, no ones rushing you Let…. Not even Dom."
Letty hugged her friend, tears in Mia's eyes as they pulled apart as Brian and Dom came up the drive to the door.
"Mia they're moving down the street, not the other end of the world babe" Brian said wrapping his arms around his wife.
"I know…just take care of my best friend Dom….or I'll kick your ass"
"Roger that" Dom said and turned to Letty "You ready?"
"As I'll ever be Ace"
Good byes were said and as Letty climbed into the passenger side, Dom situated himself behind the wheel. They pulled out of the drive and made the short distance down the street. Letty could hardly believe her eyes. The house looked exactly as it did before Deckard Shaw had blown it apart. Dom had been through everything with the architect down to the last detail. The basement had once been Leon and Jesse's bedroom and Dom had even rebuilt that in. She climbed out the car and ran her hand over the numbers on the door, 1327. This was it. This was her reality now.
She swung the door open and memories of laughter, parties, video games, and late nights just sitting with Dom hit her. This time she couldn't stop the tears.
"Hey, what's wrong?!" Dom dropped everything and was at her side in the main room in less than a second
"It's our home."
"Yea Let, our home"
"Dom…" She hesitated
"What?..." he asked with a small smile
"It's not just our home… I'm pregnant"
"Your….."
"…pregnant. I'm sorry Dom"
"Hey, why are you apologising?"
"I thought….."
"What? That'd I'd run for the hills? Leave you to deal with everything alone? That wasn't part of our wedding vows Let…. We'll get through this. Like everything else. This is our reality now"
"You've had so much shit to deal with because of me, why haven't you ran?"
"Because no one in the world could love another person the way I love you, you're the missing puzzle piece Letty. I lose all common sense around you."
"Tell me we're gonna be ok. Lie to me"
"I don't have to lie, we're gonna be more than ok"
Letty threw her arms around Dom's neck. Reality was him. Their baby. Reality wasn't just outside, Dom had been chasing her demons away one by one and brought it in behind closed doors.
My timeline for Mia and Brian having their little girl is a little different from fast 7, mainly coz that was a plot twist I wasn't expecting and I'd already wrote Casey Toretto and Jessica O'Conner into my other fic (The Brian And Mia Chronicles) so I'm keeping the timeline the same here or I'm going to confuse myself.
Sorry if this confuses people.
Loves, *K*
