Chapter 7

They had been dating again for a week. Things had been going seemingly well, but things were still awkward. They still had stuff to work out and now they were on crunch time because of the babies.

"Hey Dom." Letty said as she walked into Dom's room.

"Hey Let, what's up?" Dom aid as he patted the bed next to him.

Letty sat down and said: "Do you wanna to come with me to my doctor's appointment tomorrow?"

"Yeah. Is everything alright?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. It's an appointment for the babies. If we're lucky, we could find out the genders."

"Wow."

"I mean it depends on the positions they're in and if they're big enough yet, considering they're small,"

"What's wrong with them? Why are they small? Are they smaller than normal?"

"Dom, they're fine. They're small because there's two of them. Twins are smaller than just one baby."

"Oh."

"We should probably start talking about names."

"What do you have in mind?"

"I don't know. Maybe we could use your mom and dad's names as middle names."

"Lucia and Antonio?"

"Yeah."

"Do you wanna stick with traditional Hispanic names of like gringo names?"

At that, Letty laughed.

"I think we should use gender neutral names."

"Huh?"

"Names that could be used for a boy or a girl, like Jesse."

"Ok."

"I like the name Finnley."

"Cute, I guess."

"You don't like it?"

"I mean it's fine."

"Dom, if you don't like it just say so."

"Let, it's fine."

"I don't want you to be unsatisfied with our kids' names."

"Fine, how about Quinn?"

"I like it."

"Good."

So Quinn Lucia Toretto Ortiz?"

"Wait, why are you putting my name in front of your name?"

"It's traditional."

"Who cares about tradition?"

"Uh, me."

"Come on, Let, can't we just put my name last?"

"Ugh, fine."

"So Quinn Lucia Ortiz Toretto?"

"Yeah."

"Now, what about for a boy?"

"Carter?"

"Yeah, I like it."

"Carter Antonio Ortiz Toretto?"

"Yes."

"We should probably come up with one more of each in case there's two boys or two girls."

"Ok."

"Jadyn?"

"Jadyn Havana Ortiz Toretto?"

"Havana?"

"The capital of Cuba."

"Yeah I know, but why did you choose it?"

"My father's family is from Cuba and my cousins live in Havana."

"Oh."

"Do you like the name?"

"I love it."

"Good."

"Alex?"

"Alex Maceo Ortiz Toretto?"

"Maceo because it's your middle name?"

"Yep."

"So Jadyn Havana, Quinn Lucia, Alex Maceo, and Carter Antonio?"

"Yeah I love them." Dom said as he kissed Letty's temple.

"Dom?"

"Sorry."

"I don't mind it." She said as she buried herself into Dom's side. "I miss this."

"I'm sorry."

"Dom, I know you're sorry. I mean I'm still mad but I can tell you're trying to make things better."

"Thank you."

"I'm doing myself a favor too. I mean you I missed and I was stupid to stay in SanFran for as long as I did."

"You are not stupid, Let."

"Whatever you say."

Dom looked at her in the eyes for a few beats, and then pressed his lips to hers. She returned the pressure and things started heating. They continued to kiss until Dom's hand started going up Letty's shirt."

"Whoa." She said as she pulled away."

"Sorry." Dom said, moving away from her."

"No, I liked it, I'm just not ready for that. Eventually, maybe, but just not yet."

"I get it." Dom said as he got up.

"Where are you going?"

"I don't know?"

"Dom, you don't have to go. I'm not trying to push you away."

"I know, I just... I just wish things would've never happened. I wish I hadn't cheated. We would probably be ok. I fucked everything up and now it's liked we're starting all over again."

"I get it, Dom, I do. I agree, but I think it's good to start over. This, time we won't have any secrets and we'll be honest with each oter. Plus we have babies on the way. Those babies are proof of our love for each other. We do love each other. We just have to regrow the trust."

"I know."

"Can I sleep with you?"

"Of course." Dom said, getting back into bed.'

"Just hold me." Letty said as she buried her face in Dom's chest. He held her and they both drifted into peaceful sleep.
