Chapter 65-Married with Children
A couple years later...
"Leon, call them down here." Dom said, pulling his leather jacket over his body. Leon walked to the bottom of the stairs, juggling his keys in his hand.
"Everyone let's go!" He yelled, walking back over to the door. Soon after, the thunder of footsteps came running down the stairs. Two small girls and two boys entered the living room. Mia and Brian's beautiful daughter, Angel Brooke O'Conner, ran over to her parents. She was five years old. She had long, raven dark hair like her mother and shining blue eyes like her father. Her skin was dark like Mia's and her smile was bright like Brian's. She was wearing a long, baby blue dress with blue sandals to match.
"How's daddy's girl?" Brian asked, lifting her into his arms. She smiled widely and wrapped her arms around his neck. She was a daddy's girl for sure.
"Good. How is you?" She asked, kissing his cheek.
"Daddy's good." He smiled, kissing her back.
"Junior, didn't I tell you to keep your coat on? Go get it." Rome said to his son, pointing to the stairs. Jeremiah, 5, now had curly brown hair and his skin was a creamy color. He was wearing a tiny jersey and jeans with NIKEs. He bounded back up the stairs and back down, fixing his jacket on his back.
"Sorry." He said with puppy dog eyes. Lily smiled and leaned down to his eye-level.
"It's okay bubby. Daddy's just a meany. Have fun playing with your cousins?" She asked him, fixing the collar on his jean jacket. He nodded and hugged her.
Vince walked over to the stairs to the other two children. He pulled out gum and handed it to them. "Shh. Don't tell the others." He whispered as the kids smiled and attacked him with hugs and kisses. The small boy, who had long, curly dark hair and deep chocolate eyes, was wearing a Toretto's jacket with his name on the front and jeans. The girl, who had long, straight dark hair with almost black eyes, was also wearing a Toretto's jacket and jeans. She had the same sense of style as her mother. She never liked anything too girly.
"Go get mommy and Aunt Sashie and tell them it's time to go please." Vince said, watching the kids bounce back up the steps.
"Mommy, Aunt Sashie, Uncle V said it's time to go." The twins, both 6, said simutaneously as the ran into Letty's room. Sasha was fixing her fitted hat on her head while Letty was fixing her necklace on her neck.
"Come here you two." Letty said, taking a seat on the bed. The twins ran over to her and jumped on the bed beside her. "Now when we get to this race, you have to promise to behave. Don't go too far and stay close to the camper. Hold hands and stay out of trouble. Promise CJ?" Letty asked the girl, holding out her pinky finger. Casey Jenae Toretto stuck out her pinky, and locked it with her mothers. "Promise Bruno?" Letty asked, reaching for her son's finger. Elijah Christopher Toretto rolled his eyes and locked fingers with Let.
"C'mon Eli. You can ride with Aunt Sash." Sasha said, waiting by the door for him.
The group was going to a Stock Circuit race that Dominic was competing in. He decided to follow in his father's footsteps and race bigtime. They all continued to street race, but not as much following the birth of the kids. Jesse and Diana moved back to California a few blocks down from Dom and Letty. Weddings were all over the place in the past few years. Mia and Brian after the birth of Angel; Dom and Letty after the birth of the twins; Sasha and Vince just two years ago; and Jesse and Di just a few months ago. Leon and Senia were set to wed the end of this year.
Dom hooked the Charger onto the back of the GMC Sierra Denali truck. He tossed his bags that held his belongings in the back of the truck and walked around to the front of the hood.
"What, we not taking the minivan?" Letty asked sarcastically, carrying a luggage bag on her shoulder. The both hated the minivan but they had no choice but to drive it.
"Well considering the kids don't want to ride with us, I figured we'd take the Big Daddy out for a spin." Dom smiled, hitting the side of the Denali. He loved that truck more then the Rx-7. He always kept it clean and rarely let anyone drive it. Letty rolled her eyes and tossed her bag in the back seat.
"Eli, Davis c'mere." Sasha called the boys who were going to be riding with her and Vince over. She buckled them in the backseat of the Maxima while Vince tossed their bags in the trunk.
Angel and CJ rode with Lily and Mia in the minivan. Mia loaded Bam-Bam and Cupcake in the back of the minivan with the girls. Rome and Brian took the Lancer while Leon and Senia rode in the Skyline. Jesse, Diana, Tony, and Brianna all took the Jetta.
On the road ...
"You know, my daddy's a better racer then yours. He beat everyone." Eli said in a matter-of-fact tone, playing with his toy car.
"Nu uh. My daddy's better!" Jeremiah retaliated. They always had this argument. They were best friends but continously argued about who's daddy was better at racing.
"Aunt Sashie, tell him Daddy's better!" Eli demanded, his voice deep for a six year old.
Sasha grinned and looked over at Vince, who turned letting her know he wasn't getting into it.
"Both of your daddies are good." Sasha said, hoping to end the never-ending feud.
"Ha, that means he's better." Eli said, sticking his tongue out at Jeremiah. Jerry rolled his eyes and went back to coloring in his book.

"Mommy, when is Uncle Tej coming to see us?" Angel asked Mia, rubbing Cupcake's head. She loved Tej. Everytime he, Suki, and Jimmy came to visit, he'd always take the girls out for ice cream. He spoiled them just as much as Mia did.
"I don't know. You wanna call him?" Mia asked, pulling out her cell phone. Both the girls cheered as Mia dialed the number.
"Hello?"
"Tej, how are you hun?"
"Good, Mia. What's up?"
"Oh nothing, on our way to Dom's race. The girls just wanted to say hi."
"Put them on."
Mia put the phone on speaker phone and handed it to Angel.
"Uncle Tej!"
"Hey CJ, Angel. How are my girls?"
"Good. We miss you." Angel yelled into the phone.
"I miss you girls too. Next time I come up there, I'll take you girls shopping. That good?"
"Great. Bye Uncle Tej. Love you."
"Love you girls too. Bye Mia. Call me and tell me about the race."
"I will. Bye Tej."

"Dude, Sash and Letty are gonna be pissed at me." Tony said to Brianna as he turned off his iPod.
"What'd you do this time?" Brianna asked, staring out the window.
"Harry fired me. Again." He said, laughing.
"Dude, don't tell me you were still sleeping with Madison." Jesse said, looking in the rearview mirror at him.
"Dude I couldn't help it. The chick wanted me." Tony smiled looking at Diana, who rolled her eyes.
"So Jesse when your gonna shave that goatee of yours? It looks gross." Bri asked, watching Jesse pull at his facial hair.
"I think it's sexy." Diana said, playing with it herself.
"Ugh." Bri shivered, focusing back out the window.

"Bro tell me the truth, did you have any idea our lifes were gonna turn out like this?" Brian asked, looking over at Roman.
"Hell naw cuh. Who knew we'd get married? Hell, who knew we'd both have kids? And at 33 years old? It's crazy man." Rome said, oblivious to how fast they had grown up.
"It seemed like just yesterday we were back in Barstow, boosting cars for kicks. Now here we are. Grown men with families. It's hard to believe man. But I wouldn't trade it for anything." Brian said, holding his fist out to Rome. Rome laughed and gave Brian dap. "Ya know Rome, I wanna tell you thanks for helping me out back in the day man. On that Verone bust. Hell the Toretto's would probably be behind bars if you didn't. Thanks bro."
"You know Romey Rome always gotcha back Brian. Hell if I didn't take that job, I'd probably still be back at the derby with that damn thing on my leg."
Brian looked up at Leon's Skyline ahead of him and got a crazy idea. Roman noticed the look on Brian's face and frowned.
"The girls would flip Bri, don't do it." Rome tried to warn him. Brian picked up the walkie-talkie.
"Leon, you busy?"
"C'mon Buster let's see what you got." Leon already could tell by the sound of Brian's voice what he wanted. Brian laughed and tossed down the walkie-talkie. He shifted gears and smashed the gas, speeding up to Leon. Swerving in and out of traffic, Leon and Brian put on a show for the family and other drivers.

"What are they doin'?!" Dom yelled, as Leon and Brian's car went flying past him.
"Old habits die hard Dom." Letty answered, smiling at the rear of Leon's car. Dom looked at her with his brows furrowing. "Let them have their fun."
Dom smiled at the thought of racing again. Ever since the birth of the twins, he hadn't been racing much. He'd been up on late nights rocking them both and telling the stories of the races. It's been about four months since Dom had last street raced. He declared that his last street race and he'd hang up his cape as King of the Streets. After finally finishing rebuilding the Charger, he decided to wanted to continue his father's legacy. Now he's 35, married, has two kids, and his racing in the pro's just like his dad. This was Dominic's dream life.
"You miss it?" Letty asked him out of the blue.
Dom thought a minute.
"Nope. I love what I'm doing now."
"Good. You gonna push them to race?"
Dom's face scrunched up in confusion.
"The kids. You gonna keep them from it or push them to it?"
"Letty it's their choice. I want them to make something of themselves. But they are Torettos. It's in their blood to race. So if they wanna feel that rush, I'm right behind them. Maybe they can build a mini Toretto team. Who knows."
