Chapter 22

Dom's POV

The day we got home from Mexico is still etched into my brain as if it had only been yesterday. Seeing Mia again was great, but that's not why. And it's not even because we found out everything that happened in our absence. It's for one very simple reason. Eddie and Lucy.

I've come up against some scary people in my life. Between Lompoc and the streets I'd seen it all so it's easy for me to say that very little scared me anymore. But I was scared of going to see Eddie and Luce. Don't get me wrong, I missed them; for all intents and purposes, they were my Mama and Papi. But they were going to kill me. I got Letty hurt. I put her in danger. They were going to have my ass.

But I guess you can't kill the father of your grandchild right? Well at least, future grandchild. Bump in your daughter's belly. Letty still wasn't showing very much. Just a little bump but I also happened to know Eddie and Lucy's view on children being born out of wedlock. Like my parents, they were both strict Catholics. They were not going to take too kindly to me knocking up their baby girl.

We figured it'd be best to get it over and done with. Like ripping off a band-aid. But once we pulled up to their house, I froze. I ain't ashamed to admit it. I froze like a scared little punk. But believe me, if you knew what I knew, you would have frozen too. Letty walked around to the driver's side and opened the door. She reached in and grabbed my hand, pulling me out of the car and up to the front door. You see it wasn't just the fear that was holding me back. Yes, I was afraid of their reactions to everything we were about to tell them and everything they already knew. But I was ashamed too. And that is the harder thing for me to admit to. I'd done the one thing that I'd always promised them I would never let happen. I'd let harm befall Letty. I didn't know how on earth I was going to look Eddie and Luce in the eye.

Letty didn't let me back out though. She opened the door and dragged me inside as she called out for Eddie and Lucy. They came running in and gathered the two of us up in their arms. It was certainly not the reaction I was expecting. And unfortunately, it was only short lived. They pulled away from us, took two full steps back and just looked at us. It was the most disconcerting feeling being looked over like that. Lucy stepped up to me and looked me straight in the eye and as I'd feared, when I looked in her eyes I saw the shame in them. Then she slapped me. She actually slapped me. But she followed it up by giving me a hundred kisses where her hand had hit.

"Don't ever worry me like that again. You hear me?" She looked at me pleadingly. I nodded looking her in the eye. I really wouldn't, I promised myself as well in that moment that I would make sure we never got into any more shit for the rest of our lives. I would not make Luce worry like that again. She rubbed my cheek gently. It hadn't hurt. She's such a tiny thing. But the warmth of her hand was nice. She turned from me, and looked at Lett. She reached over and pulled Letty into her arms again. Flush against her. I guess that's how she found out. She pushed Lett away from her by the shoulders and looked into her face. That's how she knew for sure. She saw the look in Lett's eyes.

Luce turned to me with such an angry stare, before her face softened.

"How long?" She asked and I had to stop myself from smiling at the look on Eddie's face. He had no idea what was going on.

"12 weeks." Lett said quietly. Then I found myself engulfed in another hug. But as quickly as it came it ended. Lucy shrieked and clapped her hands together.

"A baby. Oh how wonderful. A baby." She was so happy. Eddie however, was not. He screamed 'what' so loud I thought the neighbours would call the cops. Then there was a hand around my throat pushing me up against the wall.

"Oh for god's sake Papi. I'm 21 years old. Let him go!"

TBC…

Author's Note:

A bit shorter this time, I know, I'm sorry. But I just had to be horrible and leave it like that. =]

Thank you to everyone who reviewed and a big thank you to everyone who's stuck by me though the long journey of this fic. So after receiving everyone's votes I've decided to stick with my original plotline. To hell with Hollywood. Thanks to everyone for you support, there's only about three chapters left now. And I promise, pinky promise, that they will be up asap. No big waits in between. In fact, I'm off to start work on the next chapter right now. So hopefully only a day or two between chapter 22 and chapter 23.

Thanks again everyone,
And until next time...
Happy reading... and reviewing. =] xx Ally
