"Let, how could you be so stupid?!" Leon couldn't believe what he was hearing. His baby sister had just told him she tried to take down a drug lord while pregnant and she failed. "It would have been one thing to do this solo, but you did this with a baby growing inside of you! You could have been killed! Your baby could have been killed!
"Damn it Leon, don't you think I know that?! I know I screwed up and I could have lost my baby. I should have walked away, ok, and I know that! But I didn't do it! I have to deal with that guilt every day!" Leon could tell Letty was trying to fight the tears. As usual, she couldn't and wouldn't show any form of weakness.
With a frustrated sigh Leon sat next to Letty and lowered his voice. "Let, you're on the run and pregnant. To top it off everyone thinks you're dead. How are we supposed to fix this?"
Taking a deep breath Letty just said what she felt. "I don't know, Le, but I'm scared. I never thought about being a mom. I guess somewhere in the back of my mind I knew there was a possibility I could have been killed, killing my baby in the process, but I needed to try. Going undercover would have brought our family back together. I would clear his name so he could come home and I wouldn't have to do this alone." Letty stood up and started pacing the room. "Dom was gone and he wasn't going to come back on his own, Leon! I couldn't and wouldn't abort my baby because he or she was made out of love." She stopped and faced Leon. "Then when I pulled myself out, I couldn't help but think how could I have possibly thought this was going to end well? How could I have been so selfish? How could I possibly risk my baby's life just to show Dom he needed me?" By this time, Letty couldn't keep it in anymore. Letty turned away screaming out in anger, causing Leon to flinch. He knew this ran deeper.
"What's wrong with me?! Why does everyone I love leave me?! What did I do to deserve this, Leon?! I loved him and he knew what walking out on me would do to me. He knows how hard it's been to trust when all I've ever seen is the back of everyone I've ever loved, as they walked out of my life." Letty braced herself for what she was about to say next. "Leon, I watched his back as he left. He didn't even spare a second glance. It was like I was living the past all over again, seeing my dad walk out my front door. The worst part of it was waking up the next morning finding that damn money on the night stand. It was like he was saying "thank you for all the years of service but fuck off". It was like I was some cheap whore." Letty was tired of being strong all the time. She hadn't cried the next day after Dom left. In fact, she hadn't shed a single tear for him until now. It was just too much and she needed to let go.
Leon swiftly went over to Letty needing to comfort her. "Nothing is wrong with you, baby girl. Don't ever think that for one second. Dom's intentions were honorable, he just went about it the wrong way. You and I both know he didn't want to hurt you, especially that way. You know he would never purposely hurt you. He loves you too damn much for that shit. He just made a mistake Let. As for your dad, he was an idiot for even thinking about leaving you. You're an amazing woman, mama, and that baby sure as hell is lucky to have you." Leon kissed Letty on the cheek and a small smile graced her lips. She was the lucky one. "Come sit down. All this stress surely can't be good for the baby."
How right he was. As soon as the words left his lips Letty felt a sharp pain in her stomach causing her to cry out and fall to her knees. Something was seriously wrong. "Le, I need to get to the hospital."
With fear growing inside, Leon quickly picked Letty up bridal style and took her to his car. He wasn't going to let anything happen that would cause Letty to lose her baby. That was his niece or nephew in there. "Hold on, baby girl, hold on."
"Leon, help my baby. Please." Letty clutched her stomach, praying to God that Leon would get her help in time. If she couldn't be with Dom she didn't want to lose the only piece she had left of him. She didn't want to lose her baby.
A/N ok so this is short because it didn't make sense to keep going. Essentially, it's just a filler. Remember, this is all happening after the first accident caused by Fenix. In an earlier chapter you found out that there was another accident and that she doesn't remember anything that happened between the two. She only remembers what happened before Fenix and what Owen has essentially told her (which of course we'll find out later).
