Thanks for the reviews. I just wanna let you know that I have no idea what year my story is set in. I'm almost positive it's not 2007 though lol. Maybe 2012 sometime. But that's not important.
I just realized something I did in the last chapter. I made the twins older then Jeremiah, although Jeremiah was born first. In case things are confused ... here are the relations:
Casey or CJ; Elijah or Bruno (5)- Dom and Letty's twins
Jeremiah or Jerry, 'Miah, Davis, JD (6) - Lily and Roman's son
Angel (5) - Mia and Brian's daughter
Hope that helps soon. Read&review.
Chapter 66-Driving Fast
Mia's POV
When we got to the Stock Circuit race site in Seattle, it was roughly 9:00 A.M., Saturday morning. I was glad to finally make it here. All that driving that me and Lily split up made me worn out. I just wanted to get in my designated camper and crash. We all pulled up to our campers, which were five medium sized trailers that was spread out in a deserted area. In Camper One it was: me, Brian, and Angel; Camper Two: Dom, Letty, Elijah, and Casey; Camper Three: Sasha, Bam-Bam, Vince, Tony, and Brianna; Camper Four: Diana, Cupcake, Jesse, Leon, and Senia; Camper Five: Rome, Lily, and Jeremiah. I could tell it was definitely going to be packed and uncomfortable for everyone.
We were going to be here for a weekend and neither Dom nor I had been to this race site in over fifteen years. Since the day our father had been killed here. The memories of that day came flooding back as I stepped out of the minivan. The screaming ... the crying ... the fire. The way Dom cried his eyes out in my arms. The way he screamed when he saw the car burst into flames. I shook off my thoughts as I woke the rest of the sleeping crew.
"Girls, Lily. Get up." I said low, shaking each other them.
"We here mommy?" Angel asked, rubbing her sleepy eyes.
"Yeah baby we're here." I said to my daughter, unbuckling her from the seat.
Sasha's POV
"Wake up Vince!" I yelled, smacking him over the head with my t-shirt. We had been fighting the whole way there over little things. Like how I favored Eli over Casey or how I spoiled the kids too much. It was stupid, but he continued to bring up little things that would piss me off. I guess that would happen when you're married.
"Sasha leave me alone damnit." He growled, forcing his eyes back shut. I hit him again.
"Get up." I said again. "Asshole." I mumbled, walking to the back of the car. Opening the door, I could tell the boys were pretending to be asleep. "Hmm, let's see who I can get to laugh first." I said outloud, beginning to tickle both of them. The roared with laughter as they tried to squirm out of my grip.
"Hi Aunt Sashie." They both said, unbuckling their seatbelts.
"Hi boys. Sleep good?" I asked them, helping them out the car. I sat them each on the hood of the Maxima, knowing it'd piss Vince off. They nodded. "Good. Do me a favor, scream as loud as you can for Uncle V to wake up."
"UNCLE V, GET UP!!" My nephews yelled at the top of their lungs, giggling afterwards.
I heard Vince growl as the passenger side door flew open. Once he got sight of the boys on the roof, he turned red with anger. I laughed.
"Down! Now!" He screamed, causing both boys to cry.
"Fuckin' asshole." I mouthed, helping the boys off the car.
Letty's POV
I was awaken by crying. I thought that part of my life was over. I thought I was done being woken up in the middle of the night because of cries from the twins. But apparently not. I opened my eyes to see we had made it to Seattle. I got out the car and stretched painfully. The Denali was a great car, but not very comfortable to sleep in for so long. I looked over and saw the others had already exited their cars.
"Who's crying?" I asked Mia as I approached the minivan.
"Your son and 'Miah." She replied, pointing to the crying children on the steps of our camper. I rolled my eyes and walked over to where the boys were sitting.
"Why are my little men cryin'?" I asked, picking Bruno up and sitting him on my lap as I took his seat.
"Uncle V. Scream at us." Jerry said in between sniffles.
"Ohh honey. Stop crying. Look, if I beat Uncle V up, will it make you stop crying?" I asked them. They smiled and nodded. I sat Elijah back down and walked over to Vincent, who was grabbing the bags from his trunk. I punched him hard in his back, I mean straight kidney shot. He shrieked in pain as he grabbed his side. "Leave the damn kids alone." I said, walking away.
"They were sitting on my damn hood." Vince yelled after me.
"I don't care, leave 'em alone." I said sternly, pointing to him.
"Enough, both of you." Dom said, stepping out of the Denali. I gave him a warning look that said 'dont-fuck-with-me'. He nodded and focused his glare on Vince.
I grabbed my bag out the back of the Denali and walked over to the camper. I sat the bag down and got CJ and Eli's bags from Mia and Sasha.
Dom's POV
Everyone unloaded and sat their luggage by their campers. We congregated around the houses for another ten minutes until the racer's booth opened. Vince and Brian were sent to the booth to pick up the keys to the trailers. After we were done setting up, the ladies of the family all sat at a nearby bench to talk about the events of the weekend. We men all sat around the Denali listening to the hip hop that was blasting from the system and drinking Coronas. The children were chasing Bam-Bam and Cupcake around the cars. It was sure a sight to see. The Toretto family had grown enormously over the years. Starting off with just me, Mia, Letty, and Vince, the additions made the family what they are today. I loved this people will all that I had.
"Get some rest everyone. Our race isn't until tomorrow." I said, jumping out the back of the truck. I flopped myself down on the bed in my camper. I put one of my arms over my face and the other under my pillow. I was so exhausted. I just wanted to sleep this day away. I wasn't so much scared for my big race, but I was nervous. I wasn't in any way, shape, or form trying to replace my father. I just wanted to live up the Toretto name and winning this race, I could do that. I know continuing his legacy will definitely make him proud of me.
I was pulled from my thoughts by pitter-patter sound of feet around the bed. I could tell someone's eyes were on me. I lifted my arm from face and opened one eye.
"You sleepin' Daddy?" CJ asked me, standing there with her brother. I couldn't believe how much these two looked just like me and Letty. CJ had her mother's dark eyes and skin color. Eli had my eyes and smile. His whole aura and posture was just like mine. I felt truely blessed to have these two.
"No baby I'm not. Come here." I said to them, holding my arms out. They took off their shoes and climbed in bed with me, laying on each side of me.
"Daddy, can I drive fast when I get bigger?" Eli asked me, his deep brown eyes looking into mine. He propped his body up on his elbows. At that moment, I felt like I was looking into a mirror. I couldn't help but smile.
"If you want too. Case, you wanna drive fast too?" I asked my daughter, praying she'd say yes.
"Can I?" She asked with hopeful eyes. I felt my eyes water staring into hers. It was just like looking into Letty's eyes. Their faces lit up with happiness at the thought of 'driving fast'. I couldn't be happier.
"Of course you can. You can do anything you want too Mami." I said to her, running my hands through her hair. "Go to sleep you two." I said, pulling the comforter over our bodies.
Letty's POV
I was sitting at the picnic table with the ladies. Senia was telling me about Javier and how he was staying with her mother for the weekend. Leon really took a liking to him and Brianna. I was surprised. He moved in with them and he was really happy with his new family. Brianna and Tony were both on their way to UCLA next month. I was proud of Tony. He made something out of himself. He still doesn't know what he wants to do yet. He can't manage to put that skateboard down for two seconds to think. I smiled at my thought. I looked over at Sasha. She was sitting on Vince's lap, obviously negotiating over something. The way she came here and affected everyone's lives was amazing. She really was what me and Vince were missing all our lives. I was missing my little sister and he was missing the love of his life.
"How 'bout we tell them after Dom's race? It'll be perfect timing." Vince said, a childish grin on his. I could only imagine what they were talking about.
"Tell us what?" I asked, eavesdropping in the convo.
"Nothing." Sasha said, an evil grin playing on her face.
"Whateva." I smiled, and switched my focus on Jesse, who was sitting on the hood of the Jetta with Diana between his legs.
He had grown up so much over the years. He wasn't that same 13 year old I met when he first came here. He was now 27, he had facial hair, and he had overcome his A.D.D. Now he was a married man. But I knew he was still a kid at heart. He still played video games and wrestled with me and Vince. I smiled and looked at Leon, who was pretend boxing with Brianna. Leon DeMarcus Owenz, now 31. He matured faster then us all during his whole ordeal with Bianca. He just wanted to make someone happy. Now he does. I'm glad I got him and Senia hooked up. They are too cute together. I turned to Mia, 29, who was sitting across from me. I think Mia's transformation from house-mother to wife and mother was the most incredible. She went from cleaning up after a bunch of grown people to cleaning up after a beautiful baby girl. She still managed to achieve of dream of becoming a nurse. She was my inspiration in life. I looked over at my beautiful children. Eli was petting Bam while CJ was chasing Cupcake. I can't believe that I'm married with twins. I never expected for my life to turn out this way. I was only 29 myself. I was still my old self but only with more grey hairs. I was still bitchy and I still had an attitude nobody wanted to fuck with. But I was more chill with myself. I didn't drink as much and let go of my jealous ways. I guess I became a woman. I finally slowed down. All my life, I had been going too fast. I watched CJ whisper something to Eli, then both of them race into the camper. Frowning in confusion, I stood from my seat.
"I'm heading off guys. See ya tomorrow." I said, following the twins inside.
I stopped right on the stairs, listening to the conversation inside.
"Can I drive fast when I get bigger?" I hear Eli ask.
"If you want too. Case, you wanna drive fast too?" I heard Dom's husky voice ask.
"Can I?" I can only imagine the look she has on her face.
I cup my hand to my mouth as the tears blurred my vision. My children - our children - wanted to follow in our footsteps. I entered the camper to find my family, sound asleep on the bed. My body began to rack with sobs as I just watched them. I couldn't have asked for anything more perfect.
