Chapter 1

Brian looked at the piece of paper in his hands, his blue eyes filling up with tears as he read the words over and over again. It couldn't be possible, they had been so careful to always use protection. He had made sure that Dom knew that they couldn't have sex without some kind of safety measure; and while it had been hard to explain to the man the reason behind it Brian had told the man. To say that he hadn't expected Dom's reaction would have been an understatement, the man had seemed to be happy about the prospect that they would have a child if they ever decide to do so in the future. Now though could never happen and it wasn't that Brian hadn't want to stay with Dom and make that dream come true. He had to leave though to keep the man he loved and his family safe from harm.

'What am I going to do?'

Brian lay down on the bed and tried to make himself as small as possible, his arms going around his midsection in a protective gesture before allowing himself to cry for what he could have had and now couldn't have because of his past. He knew that he couldn't go back to Dom and tell him, the man was probably angry with him for leaving without saying anything. Only to find out that the only reason Brian was seeking him out was because he was pregnant; it would look like Brian was only interested in the money the man would have to give him.

'I'm sorry baby but you and your father won't be able to meet each other. I can't go through the pain of him taking you away from me.'

Roman Pearce looked at his friend from across the garage they were working at, his dark eyes noticing the changes very quickly. He could see that the blue eyes that had once shine with mischievous and humor were now dull and full of pain. He could see that there was some happiness but not as much to rival the rest of the negative emotions. Not for the first time Roman wondered what had happened to his friend after the blonde had left five years ago. He knew that the man had become a lone racer and had gone from place to place, but always keeping a low profile so he could stay hidden from whoever seemed to be following him. Roman could tell that his friend was planning to move away again, it was dangerous to stay in one place for too long.

"What are you hiding from me, brah?" Roman asked his friend.

The black man watched as his friend looked at him in surprised at the unexpected question, and knew that by his reaction Roman wouldn't believe him if he said he wasn't hiding anything. Roman knew the moment that his friend had decided to tell him what was happening to him, his blue eyes looking around as if making sure that no one was listening in on their conversation.

"I'll tell you tonight at home, it's too dangerous to tell you in public."

Roman stayed silent for only a moment but decided to trust his friend that he wouldn't run away and tell him the truth.

"Aright," Roman consented.

The man watched as the blonde man went back to working without saying anything else.

Vince wasn't always very observant when it came to other's emotions, but he like to believe that he knew his family well enough to know when someone was faking an emotion. Now though it wasn't hard to notice that his family wasn't the same after the Buster had left without saying anything. Everyone had taken it hard, especially Dom and for that Vince wasn't sure if to hate the blonde racer or not. They had become friends of sorts and while outsiders saw them argue about the smallest things, Vince had come to see the blonde as someone that he could trust in. Vince had seen that Brian had kept things hidden and it had seemed to hurt him as time passed by; there had been times when it seemed that Brian would have trusted in Vince to tell him what he was hiding. Those moments were always interrupted though by others and the moment would be lost.

"I haven't found anything D, no one in the racing scenes seem to have seen him in the past three months," Jesse's voice came from the kitchen.

"He couldn't have just disappeared like that," Dom's voice sounded frustrated and tired. "He has to be somewhere."

"I'll keep asking and checking the police radio."

Vince entered the kitchen in time to see his friend leave through the back door in order to go to the garage were the orange-neon eclipse was park waiting for his owner to return to claim it back. Dom had given it to Brian as a gift for their third anniversary before the blond went missing.

"I hope we find the Buster soon, he was the only one able to calm Dom when he was like this," Jesse said looking at Vince.

"Yea me too," Vince said nodding his blue eyes looking through the window as his friend stood in front of the car.
