Chapter 4: Trapped
***Flashback***
Colours swirled around her, she heard scraping metal and when everything came into focus she realised the car was upside down, she could barely move. Trapped in the seatbelt of the car there was no way out. It felt like hours had gone by, but in reality it was more like minutes. Fenix came into view and after that everything went dark…
"LET! LETTY! WAKE UP!" Dom cried out her name as she screamed in her sleep. Her eyes flew open, filled with unshed tears
"What…where…?"
"Your safe Let, I've got you"
Sitting up in the bed in the bedroom they shared at Brian and Mia's, something that had only happened organically weeks after Letty regained her memory. Dom had been in the hospital for a week and Letty had been staying at the house Roman shared with Tej a couple of blocks away from 1327. She'd been staying there before Deckard Shaw had declared war on the family unit, spending days with Dom but still feeling lost as he remembered everything and she, nothing.
Since he'd gotten out and she knew the true extent of her feelings toward her, dare she say it, husband, she'd stayed at the O'Conner house more and more til eventually they were sleeping in the same bedroom, talking through her memories and stories she remembered. They'd fall asleep after talking into the small hours and Dom simply held her and rocked her when the nightmares hit.
1327 was being rebuilt and Dom had considered making it a completely different house, especially after Mia called it a curse, but he'd gone ahead with his original plan and everything was being put back and rebuilt to the way it had been. He wanted colourful and 10 second cars in the drive, a charger in the garage and BBQ's out back.
Letty gripped onto Dom as he rocked her. Tears flowing silently down her face. She was done. Done with feeling like everything around was about to shatter, Done remembering Fenix and the night she "died". She'd had enough. She pulled back from Dom and looked up at him.
"Dom make me forget….."
"What do you mean?" Dom looked confused
"Make me forget it all Dom, make love to me"
Dom had pulled back slightly and scrutinised her. They'd been sharing a bed for weeks now, simply because Letty felt safe around him, but she'd never once asked him for more.
"Let…."
"Please don't reject me Dom, I don't think I could take it if you said you didn't want me"
"Letty I never stopped wanting you"
"Then please Dom….."
"You're sure about this?"
"Yes…."
Dom slid his hand into her hair and kissed her and when she pushed for more he'd simply allowed her to take over. This was all about her.
That had been over a month ago and while they hadn't slept together every night, they still shared the bedroom at Brian and Mia's.
It wasn't until Dom had started packing his and Letty's belongings to go back home that Letty realised that she hadn't had her period. She'd mentally counted in her head and it had brought her back to the night she'd pleaded with him. She'd needed to feel something other than fear and insecurity. She'd made excuses and headed for the nearest pharmacy and, using the key she still had to Roman and Tej's, she'd taken the test, her eyes closed the whole time.
Looking at the test and the pink plus sign she'd collapsed in tears, sure Dom was going to run as soon as she told him. She tried to tell her self they were married and remembered her vows again, but fear seemed to have a grip over every aspect of her life.
She ran through every possible outcome in her head, as she headed back the O'Conner's, reaching the gate she put her game face on. She wasn't ready to lose Dom just yet. So she'd helped pack, joked with Brian, played in the sprinklers with Jack and made dinner with Mia. Acted like everything was fine, as she did every day. Only Dom knew the extent of the damage she'd been left with after everything and for that she was grateful, she couldn't take it if everyone started looking at her with pity.
She'd had nightmares at Roman and Tej's place but Roman slept with earphones on and on the nights she had screamed, Tej had simply sent her text to say he was in the living room playing Xbox with ice cream and acted like he'd heard nothing. Hot tears prickled behind her eyes those nights, Tej simply treated her like Letty. Never sat and directly asked her if she wanted to talk, he'd simply handed her a controller and shoved the ice cream between them and declared war on zombies. She'd be forever in his debt for those nights, for as far as she knew he'd never uttered a word to anybody including Dom, who would have off the deep end.
So as she climbed into the O'Conner's Black SUV, she vowed her life would be different now. She'd be a mother and she do the best job she knew how.
She just had to get through telling Dom first and his reaction.
