A/N: after I wrote Chap 2 I had the urge to keep writing that's why its up so soon LOL.
Thanks to ElcaminoCat, vinces-Girl and Cryptography87 for the reviews.
Chapter 3: The races begin.
Mia's POV:
I have been helping Dom, Hector, Jesse, Leon and Vince set up for this big race, Hectors not part of the team of anything, He just has the connections. I glance over to Dom who is talking to Vince. I glance out at the crowd and I see over 2000 people maybe 4000. I look over Leon and Jesse; they are telling Luka funny stories about BEFORE the heists. I can see that not everything is Ok. I got a letter from Brian the other day. He is coming to the races; he's bringing his team with him. Don't get me wrong, I can't wait to see him but, it's the fact that Dom and the boys have been looking for him and Letty for like 4 years and out of the blue he knows where I am. It's creepy.
I walk over to Dom and Hug him, I tell him what a great job he's done and that I love him before he steps out and starts the 'opening ceremony'. That's when I see him. Brian. He's standing with a little Latino Asian man and 3 others. I glance to his left and I see her. Letty. After I've finished wondering what she's doing with Brian I notice that She looks so beautiful, and sad. She has a small girl on her hip; the little girl is wearing her dog tags. It's not hard to tell that she is Letty's Daughter. My eyes meet hers. She looks at me and points to me. The little girl on her hip then waves to me, and smiles.
"Yo, Mi, Are you okay?" Vince brings me out of my silent conversation with Letty and her girl.
"Yeah, there are just so many people!" I say, not sure whether to tell them about Letty and Brian.
"Yeah, your Bro did good!"
Letty's POV:
After I saw Mia, I pointed her out to Maddy.
"That's your Auntie Mia" I said. She waved to Mia and Mia smiled back. I know she would be shocked. Not only to see me, let alone to see me with a daughter and Brian. After that I put Maddy down and held her hand. If Mia had seen me in the midst of like 3000 people and from the look on her face known that she was my Daughter. I'd don't want to know what Dom, Vince, Jesse or Leon would do. After Dom had finished Crapping on about how he was happy that we all had turned up he said that whoever one the last race would then race him, for slips to their whole teams cars! That means like all our cars but also Leons skyline. Vince's Maxima. Jesse's new Acura NSX and Dom's His new Lamborghini Murciélago LP640. (Jimmy had already checked out their cars.) I wanted that racer to be me, after all he was driving a very expensive car and he wouldn't beat me as easily if at all any more. I'm the Queen in Miami, Alabama and Mississippi! When Hector took the stage I took Maddy back to our shed and told her that the bald man on stage was her father, she didn't look shocked. I then went back to working on my 240sx and Maddy helped me. For a 3 year old she has got mine and Dom's passion for cars already! After about half hour we had changed the oil, changed the fan belt, and replaced the brake leads and As soon as we had finished changing the water Brian, Rome and the crew walked in.
"Yo, latina. Yo man gave you a challenge" Rome said trying to get me angry.
"I'm up for it" I replied. Looking at Maddy who like me was covered in oil and grease. At that very moment Suki said the one thing that could've killed me.
"Hey Mami, looks as if Mia Toretto is heading this way!"
I stopped what I was doing raced to the roller door and saw Mia; she was about 50 meters away.
"Okay, Brian, hide for now its better for me to soften her up for you. Everyone else look busy. Maddy come here" I said hastily. Maddy came over to me and I picked her up. We walked outside and met Mia right before she got to the shed.
"Leticia Maria Rodriguez," a long uneasy pause. "…baby girl come here!" she squealed as I put Maddy down and hugged my Best friend.
"Mommy" Maddy tugged on my shirt. "Is this my Auntie Mia?"
"Yes baby, this is her!" I said letting Mia go and escorting her into the shed.
"Auntie Mia?" said Mia questioningly.
"Yeah, uh… we kinda have a lot to talk about" I said.
"So she's Dom's then?" she said a little more seriously.
"Yeah uh, Maddy why don't you go Find your Uncle and tell him about what your Aunt looks like!" I said Sitting down on my bonnet. Maddy smiled, hugged me and then ran to find Brian.
"…Maddy, nice name! now Is she Dom's and Who's her uncle?" she said, this time her voice was dead serious.
"Okay Yes Mia she is Dom's because I'm not some tramp to run away and just get pregnant! And Brian's her 'uncle' everyone here is." I said meeting her serious tone. But I think I may have scared her a little.
"I didn't mean it like that Let. I just had to make sure…..Brian! Now I know he is here Letty, he wrote me a letter a few weeks back"
"I know I told him where you were, does the Team know? You know that we are here?"
"NO!...they have been searching non-stop for you two for like 4 years. The only break they have had has been this big race thing and even this was a set up to get you to come."
I sat there quietly. He looked for me. Why did I have to be so hard to find! He knew me well, I cant resist a big race. I told Mia the story of why I left MY way and how I ended up in Miami. Told her about Maddy and how much like Dom she is etcetera, etcetera. About 20minutes later I thought that the Crew (team O'Connor) was getting too restless. So I introduced Mia around.
"Mia….uh….This is the Miami crew! That's Suki; she's an amazing graphics artist! Tej he runs the races, and that's Suki's man. Roman; Brian's best friend and crap as racer. Jimmy; my cousin and quiet as mechanic. Everyone this Is Mia Toretto, Maddy's Aunt. My Best Friend" I got all this out of me with a 'hey baby nice to meet you' out of Suki. 'Sup' out of Tej. No comment out of Rome and Jimmy said a polite Hello, creepy right?
As if she and Brian had been listening the whole time Maddy ran in and jumped into my arms, I know they were because Brian came in silently and sat on a box in the corner. Maddy had that deathly blank look on her face so no one could tell what she was thinking.
"Hello Maddy, it'll be nice to get to know you better!" Mia said leaning over towards Maddy.
"OK" was all Maddy said? I had to laugh she was too much like me, it's scary.
"Maddy, your too much like your mami!" said Suki in the midst of laughter. That's when I noticed everyone , including Brian, were rolling around on the floor laughing.
"What? Why is everyone laughing? What did I do?" Mia said eagerly.
"well, when Maddy's not sure about someone, or they get to close to Letty she goes all Ice Princess on us!" said Suki again. Mia and I just laughed as Maddy hugged me tightly.
"I wonder what she'll do when she meets Dom?" Mia said Laughing but the whole room went silent.
"About that Mia, uh…can you not say anything? About Me I mean, I would rather meet him on my own" I said quietly hugging Maddy back just as tight. I know Mia saw how much Maddy means to me because she nodded her head slowly, and because she must have thought whatever kept me from Dom had been serious, Maddy was serious!
We talked some more, all of us. Before Mia decided that at 1:30pm it was time to go and make the boys lunch. We said our goodbyes, but she said she'd be back. I knew she couldn't stay away. Little did we know that when Mia left our shed the Boys were looking for her. Vince and Leon had seen her leave!
