Enjoy! X

The night sky whizzed them as Dom drove towards their house, the car silent.

After finding Letty and their daughter standing near his car when he exited the hospital, she had told him Brian had dropped her off on his way home.

'Where does my name come from?' Mariella asked from the back seat. Letty gave a small jolt as she spoke, seemingly in a world of her own.

'You were named after my mum and Mia' Dom replied, as he glanced at her through the rear view mirror.

'Why aren't I named after Lettys mom?' Mariella asked, looking for her Dad to her mom and back again.

'My mother wasn't even a mother to me, and I've never known my father' came Letty's voice from the passenger seat.

'Oh...' Mariella said, not knowing what to say, before pointing to the right. 'Turn right here' She told Dom, who did as she told him to do.

'So, how did you two meet?' Mariella asked, settling back in the back seat.

'I moved onto their Street when I was ten... and when I turned fifteen, a lot of thing happened...'

'Like what?'

Letty casted a glance at Dom, who nodded, before she continued. 'Well, your dad crashed his car into me, almost taking my arm off, him and Mia lost their Dad, your granddad and I fell pregnant with you'

Mariella gasped. 'He died? My god, how?'

Letty didn't even have to look at Dom to know his knuckles were white, as he tried to keep his emotions to himself. His father's death was always going to be touchy subject. 'We'll tell you that another time' She said quickly, before rubbing Dom's back comfortingly.

Mariella watched the action, watching how Dom calmed immediately at the touch of her mother. His knuckles lost their whiteness and he shifted through the gears as they pulled up at Mariella's home.

'Which house is it?' Letty asked, as she unbuckled her seatbelt and looked at the row of houses.

'The third one down from this one' Dom and Mariella answered together.

Mariella shot him a confused look. 'How the hell do you know?'

'I came here once, you were nine years old and you were refusing to go to school... you eventually went and I went to speak with Darcy' Dom told her, before climbing out of the car and pulling his seat forward so Mariella could climb from the car.

'Hang on. You came here one day and you didn't say hi?' Mariella asked her dad, who looked over at Letty, who was finding this amusing.

'I'm not going to help you. You said it, not me' she told them, setting off down the street.

'You were on your way to school... and I was here with about your mother's... death' he said, using air quotes on the word 'death'.

Mariella opened her mouth to say something, but decided against it, choosing to follow her mother, who was watching them from the pathway leading up to the house.

'Don't be mad at him, you were only young and you didn't need to be confused to why you had two sets of parents' Letty told her daughter as she stomped up the path, her curls bouncing with every step.

She didn't say anything as she opened the door and stormed inside and up the stairs, leaving Dom and Letty outside.

'What?' Dom asked, seeing his wife looking at him, with a small smirk.

'Nothing' She said, heading inside the house and looking round at the house that her daughter called home.

Dom spotted a cabinet with photos on it and wandered over, seeing pictures of Mariella when she was a little girl.

'Hey Let, come here' Dom beckoned her over, holding up a photo of a toothly grinning Mariella in a swimming costume. 'Smile' he asked.

'Why?'

'Just do it' Dom told her, watching as she smiled widely. He smiled and laughed gently as the same smile erupted on Letty's face.

He placed the photo down and looked at some others.

'Hey, Dom' Letty lifted a photo with Mariella holding a toolbox and dressed in little overalls. 'Mini us' She laughed.

'Yeah, she is' Dom agreed, his arm slipping round her shoulders and pulling her close.

'Right these are all the bags... I can't bare to look at the prices' Mariella said, as walked down the steps with her hands full.

'Good god!' Letty exclaimed, seeing the names of the bags.

They followed Mariella into the living room, only for her to swing her arm out and stop them.

'Take your shoes off. Darcy hates it when her carpets have a spec of dirt on them' Mariella told them.

Dom and Letty looked at each other and pulled a face, toeing off their shoes and leaving them in doorway, following their daughter to middle of the large living room and sat down, watching as she rummaged through all the bags for the receipts.

'Okay, you guys add it all up!' Mariella said, handing the receipts to Dom and scarpering into the kitchen...

'Mariella, you okay?' Letty asked, half an hour later, as she headed into the kitchen to find her daughter staring out into the black night sky.

'How much?' Mariella asked, getting to the point.

'Depends... does Darcy have an overdraft?' Letty asked, leaning against the doorframe of the kitchen.

'Yeah by $500 dollars why?'

'Do you know what her last bank statement was?'

Mariella pointed to the wooden notice board, where all the bank statements and calenders were.

She watched as Letty walked over and looked at the number on the last month bank statement and then down at the figure Dom had wrote on the back of a receipt.

'Okay... this isn't that bad-'

'That bad? My sister-'

'Calm down! I'll replace the money tomorrow!'

'What are you on about? How are you going to replace the money?' Mariella shouted.

'Do you want to leave this house?' Letty asked, raising an eyebrow at her daughters tone.

'No!'

'Well then... And your Dads cancelled your room at the Cinema Suites. Wasn't that hard considering we only had a few more hotels to check before we came here' Letty told her daughter, before heading into the living room.

'Where the hell am I supposed to stay?' Mariella's question went unanswered. She stormed back into the living room, seeing her parents folding everything back into the bags. 'Did you not here me?'

'Yeah, I heard you. You've been staying there until you found us, according to Mia and now you've found us... You've no reason to stay there...' Letty told her daughter, who pulled a face and looked between her birth parents.

'How can you pay back the money?' Mariella repeated, wating for an answer.

It was clear neither one of her parents were going to answer that question, as they stayed silent, which made her more frustrated.

'Guys!'

'Does it matter? You're our daughter and we'd hate to see something bad happen when we could prevent it!' Dom replied, patiently.

'But-'

'Look, it's getting late and she's had a long day. I think it's time you both went. Mariella has school in the morning' came Darcy's voice from the doorway.

Mariella scowled. 'No, I want to know how-'

'She's right. We'll go. Look, don't worry about the money. Like I said, we'll sort it' Letty told Mariella, before getting to her feet.

'Sort what money? She doesn't need your money' Darcy told Letty, who smirked and looked at Dom.

'Aw babe, listen. Can you hear the jealousy in her voice?' She asked him, before turning to Darcy. 'Just remember, you almost hit my daughter today. Now, I'm only helping you because this is our daughters home and we...', Letty pointed to herself and Dom, 'are not seeing anything bad happen to her'

'Look, we don't need your money! I have a good enough job to repay however much my youngest has spent with my card'

'She's gone way over your $500 overdraft... just saying' Letty said, before slipping her feet into her boots and waiting for Dom to do same.

'Do you want our help or not?' Dom asked Darcy.

'No, I can sort this out myself!' She said stubbornly.

'Fine... you know where to find us' Dom told his daughter, who stared at him for a second before nodding.

Dom followed Letty out of the house and towards his car, closing the door behind him.

'Let, we can't force her to take the money or come with us' he reasoned, seeing her facial expression and placing his hand on her shoulder.

'I know. It's just... never mind'

'No, Let. What were you going to say?' He asked, gently, caging her against his car.

'I felt like she was speaking for her. Mariella has a voice, but... you heard Darcy's voice when she spoke. She's either terrified were going to take our daughter back, or she's jealous that Mariella has found us and could want to know us' Letty told him.

'Let, she's bound to be jealous that we're back in her life. We're a threat to her... she's brought her up since she was born...' Dom told her softly.

'I know... It's just, seeing her now, all grown up with attitude and stuff... makes me wish...' Letty trailed off and Dom knew what she was going to say.

He pulled her to him and stroked the back of her head gently. 'Let, we did what was right. You know that having a kid and then going on the run wouldn't have worked out well...'

Letty sighed and gazed at him. 'I know. Just makes me look at Mia and Brian with Jack and I can't help but feel slightly jealous'

'Well, with our next one you won't have to be jealous' Dom spoke before his brain registered the words.

Letty's eyebrows almost shot into her hairline. 'The next one?' She blurted, her tone shocked.

'If... if that's what you want, we don't... we don't have-'

'Dominic Toretto, stuttering. Never thought I'd see the day' Letty teased, a certain smile curling her lips upwards.

Dom smiled down at her and connected their lips, his hands gripping her waist tightly and protectively.

'Oh god, do you have to?'

They pulled away in surprise at their daughters voice and looked in her direction.

'Yes, I do' Dom replied, laughing when Letty punched him on the arm.

'What's wrong?' Letty asked her daughter gently.

'Can... can I see you again? Maybe in a few days? I need to my head round today. Everything's a bit overwhelming at the minute and I need to process everything' Mariella asked.

'You don't even have to ask to see us... and you can take all the time you need' Dom told his daughter gently. 'The balls in your court. When you're ready... we'll answer any questions you've got, I promise'

Mariella nodded and smiled. 'Thanks...' her voice trailed off, leaving Dom and Letty with the impression she wanted to say something else but decided against it. 'See you soon?' It came out as a question rather than a farewell.

Letty nodded. 'See you soon' She said, watching as her daughter smiled and turned, running back to her house.

Dom and Letty climbed back into the car, shutting the doors as they did.

'You do realise we're going to have to tell her everything, right?' Dom asked, looking over at his wife, who nodded.

'Yeah, I know, babe...'
