Chapter 15

Rome watched as Brian looked towards the clock every five minutes and wondered if his friend had plans already for the day. He knew that Toretto would want to ask his friend on an outing, but he knew as well that not everything would go as smoothly as it seemed at first. He could tell that his friend was not taking things well, but he also knew that if he didn't try to stay calm that his pregnancy could turn into a high-risk one. Rome knew though that if he tried to stop his friend in finding happiness that the blond would never forgive him for it. There was a chance that Toretto would not allow anything to happen to Brian and the baby, and that he would stay once all the danger was gone. Rome was just wary of the things that would change if things went south, Brian wouldn't be able to survive if Toretto left or if something happened to the man because he was trying to protect not only their unborn child but also the blond man he seem to have buried deep in his heart.

"You seem to be having deep thoughts right now," Tej voice came from behind making Rome to look towards his other friend. "By the look on your face it doesn't just seems like you are having deep thoughts, but I know you are. So want to tell me?"

"I'm just worry that Brian will end up hurt once all of this is over. I know for a fact that if something ever happens to either Toretto or his child that he wouldn't be able to survive," Rome said after a prolong silence between the two men as both watch the blond in question looking towards the time once more.

"Does he have a date?" Tej asked instead of agreeing or disagreeing with his friend.

"I think he arrange an outing with Toretto, or it could be that his doc might come today and he has finally allowed Toretto to be there," Rome answered with a shrug not sure which of the two was the correct one.

"You haven't asked him?" Tej incredulity was obvious the moment he asked the question.

"I wish to keep breathing Tej," Rome answered with a frown on his face. "If I go up to him and ask it could go two ways, and the odds of going in my favor are low so I don't wish to risk it."

"So the great Roman Pearce is afraid of Brian O'Conner's reaction, that's new."

"Don't laugh you bastard, if you were in my place believe me you would be thinking your moves twice before even daring to question the man in that office," Rome sneered, but he knew that Tej would be able to tell that he was only half serious.

He could tell that if O'Conner or Toretto decided to start showing that they were getting back on friendly terms Dante De Angelo would not react well. He had worked for the man long enough to know what his reactions would be if he found out that O'Conner and Toretto were getting back together; the man was already planning to torture Toretto for touching O'Conner and for daring to lay eyes on the blond. To make things worst O'Conner had given Toretto the one thing that he had seemed to have kept close to his heart. He knew that Dante De Angelo would try to hurry things along, and that would just not do. He had to talk with the other two and make sure that things were under wraps for a while, just to allow O'Conner and Toretto to see what they obviously felt for one another.

'Soon we won't be able to hide that the two of you are together, but we will try as long as we are able,' he swore silently as he kept watch over the people that were protecting O'Conner.

Dom watched as Brian greeted the doctor that was checking him; he had to admit that she was a beautiful woman. If he had been into women he would have gone for her in a heartbeat, but he was not in fact into women. He wasn't really into men either, he was just in love with Brian and he knew that no one else would do. That no one else would be able to enter his heart. He could see by the small frown on the blonde's face that he hadn't like that Dom had taken a liking to the woman.

"You know I only love you," Dom whispered when the doc had left them for a moment.

"Doesn't mean I will like you taking a liking to others right away," Brian countered with a small glare.

"Jealous much?" Dom asked with a small smirk on his face.

"In your dreams, Toretto," Brian said rolling his blue eyes but Dom was able to see the small flash of insecurity that went through them.

"I love you, Brian. The Doc just looks like a friendly person and I just wish to keep her on friendly terms; I don't doubt that she will not allow me to be present if you or her are angry with me," Dom reassured the blond taking a hand into both of his.

"I know that," Brian confessed softly. "I know that, but it still doesn't make it easy to see."

Before Dom could say anything the Doctor had returned; and it was obvious that she had heard some of their conversation but had to interrupt even if it seemed like she hadn't wished to do so. He wondered how long she knew Brian; by the way that she talked to the blond and behaved around him it was obvious that Brian and the Doc knew each other from before. Dom had learned though that if he questioned Brian about the Doc he would close off and he didn't want that after having to work in getting the blonde's attention once more.

"How is everything?" Brian finally asked when the Doc was putting everything away.

"Everything is going well; you need to relax more though. If you keep stressing yourself your pregnancy can become a high-risk one," the Doc answered honestly as she stopped putting her things away and looking at the pair. "Don't forget that you need to eat healthy and to meditate at least once a day."

"I try to Doc, but things are heating up," Brian answered blowing out a frustrated breath.

"I know Brian, but at least try to stay calm okay?"

"I will do my best," Brian's answer was honest and Dom knew that the blond would keep his word.

"I will come back in two weeks, call me if you need anything."

Dom watched as Brian nodded before the Doc excused herself and left without saying anything else.

Dante watched as Carter's men moved around, packing things here and there as if preparing for something to go bad. He wondered what Michael was planning; he knew that the man was making sure that Carter wouldn't try to do something against him. Michael didn't like when others tried to kill Dante, at the beginning Dante had the motivations the man had, but over the years he had stopped wondering since the man had proven to be loyal to Dante. That didn't mean that Dante didn't take care of himself, he just didn't need to look over his shoulder every moment since the man had joined him.

"Everything is being prepared Boss," Michael informed Dante two days later. "Carter seems to be planning something against us before leaving so I had to move everything to be done here, and Toretto and their family should be captured soon enough. It seems that O'Conner is not being check by any doctors, it seems like his friends don't really trust anyone."

"Take care of Carter first," Dante instructed. "After him I want you to make sure that the one capture is O'Conner and Toretto, the rest will follow soon after."

Michael nodded as he seemed to make adjustments to everything that he was planning.

Carter watched as his men moved everything he had instructed. He would have to leave his home for a while, but he would return soon enough. He had to get rid of De Angelo and get O'Conner in the same move. It would not be easy but nothing that was worth it in the end would be.

"Everything is ready, Boss," Enrique said as he approached the man. "We just need you to make the call."

"Not now, in a week we will make our move," Carter said looking at one of his most trusted men. "De Angelo won't know what hit him; and I then we will make sure that our allies and enemies know not to mess with me."

Carter watched as Enrique nodded but didn't say anything, he knew that Roberto was overlooking the proceedings while one of them stayed with him at all times. It was their way of making sure that he was alive and not killed by an enemy.

'Soon things will go in my favor.'
