I was still upset when we made it to the garage. I got out of Twinkie's car and a tear rolled down my cheek. Chad had called ten times tops and the last one he left a message singing out song, Bubbly.
"Hey Ice, I have a surprise for you." I heard Han say. I didn't look up at him. He walked up to me and I heard a small bark. I looked up and in his arms was a small Australian Shepard. It was the most beautiful dog I'd ever seen.
"her name is Beloved. Or love for short." He said handing me the dog. I smiled happily. He lifted my chin up so he could see my eyes. "Have you been crying?"
"She caught her American boy in bed with her cousin." Twinkie answered for me. "That's why we came back early."
"What?" Han looked from Twink to me. "Why didn't you call?"
"I did." I said and his face fell. He knew.
"I told you that boy was bad for you." A gruff voice said behind Han. I smiled. I knew that voice well.
"Dom!" I handed the puppy back to Han and ran into the man's arms.
"You know each other?" Han asked surprised.
"Are you kidding. She's my second favorite girl!" Dom said.
"I better be the third unless there is something I should know about." I said and Dom laughed.
"Icey here is Letty's cousin." Dom said and Han looked dumb founded. "She's the little master mind I told you about when I first came here."
"I believe you said the little snot that fallowed you around all the time." Han said and I playfully smacked Dom on the arm.
"How is Letty doing?" I asked wanting to hear new about my favorite cousin.
"Expecting." Dom replied and I gave him another hug.
"That makes two right?" I asked and he nodded.
"Estee?" I heard from the stairs. Letty started down the stared holding a two year old at her side. A young Japanese girl fallowed her down. I turned to Han.
"New flavor of the week?" I asked and Han looked guilty and hurt. I said nothing else to him. I met Letty half way and gave her a hug. I then took the two year old from her.
"Hey Jesse." I said holding him above my head. "Some day your parents will explain how you where named after this funny, geeky kid and not your very idiotic cousin back in Iowa. Believe me it's a great story."
"Don't corrupt my child." Letty said taking the child back.
"I wont corrupt little Jesse….but the new one there are no guarantees." I said and Letty rolled her eyes.
"I've heard so much you from Han that I cant believe it's the same girl." Letty joked.
"But on that note." She smacked my in the back of the head. "What were you thinking. Dom told you to close that place down when we left."
"Ah he said that when you were around." I said with a smirk and Dom laughed behind me.
"Giving away our secret." Dom said messing up my hair. "So how's your babies? How many do you have now?"
"Three here, nine at home that I drive, and three that others drive." I said and Dom whistled in disbelief.
"I'm happy for you." Dom said with a proud smile.
"And how did you afford all of those cars?" Letty asked looking from me to Dom and back to me. We both avoided her eyes. "Dominic?"
"Ouch first name usage." I said giving Dom a pity look.
"Now listen baby. Your little cousins are like family to me…"Dom started but Letty held up her hand.
"What do you mean cousins? Don't tell me Jesse and Ashley are in to the racing bit too?" Letty said this time eying me.
"Jesse has one of my cars and helps me design cars. Well he does the work I design." I said then remembered Ashley. "And the baby of the family is a slut."
"Now why would you say that about…" Letty started but I interrupted her.
"Because I walked in on Ashley and Chad. Chad was handcuffed to the bed and Ashley was riding him like a pro." I said as a tear rolled down my cheek. Letty stood there stund. My phone rand and the tears got worse when I realized it was the bubbly ring tone. Chad's ring tone.
"What?" I asked when I answered. "No Chad we are over."
Letty took the phone from me and handed Jesse to Dom. "Cover his ears."
When Dom did Letty spoke into the phone. "Listen you little prick. If I ever get my hands on you your dead…No this is Letty…If you contact Estee again or I hear your messing around with Ashley again, I will personally find your sorry ass and burry you alive…Yeah that's what I though."
She hung up the phone and handed it back to me. I smiled at her. she smiled back then looked to my right. I turned to see Han standing by my side holding Beloved and the girl stood next to him. I took the puppy back from him and it licked my face happily.
"She's a toy Australian Shepard. So she shouldn't get any bigger than ten inches tall." Han said. "But if she does she's gone."
"You wont will you." I said to the dog and it barked happily. Letty and Dom exchanged looks, but said nothing. The girl next to Han didn't look to happy about being ignored. I nodded towards her and Han rolled his eyes. He put his arm around her and lead her to my viper. I glared at him as he pulled away.
"You know he finished his car while you were gone. It only needs your design." Earl said walking down the steps.
"And he still drives mine!" I said in out rage. "Oh he's going to get it."
"No he won't. He has a whole stash of Mountain dew and Starbursts." Earl said and I smiled. It was already back the way it was before I left.
I went to Dom and Letty's new house just to check it out. It was really nice and big so the kids could run around. The rest of the group was there as well. they all gave me a hug. Vince was still having a little bit of trouble with his arm, but it was stronger from the last time I saw him. Leon gave me a playful wink and I playfully blew him a kiss. I has missed the old crew. Letty showed me around the house. When she got to the room next to the nursery she paused.
"This is the nanny room…or your room if you want it." Letty said looking at me. I was surprised.
"I do have a place to stay you know." I said and Letty nodded.
"I know but I saw the look you gave Han's girl. Don't get me wrong he's a great gut but… He doesn't stay with one girl for to long. I don't want you getting hurt again." Letty said and her words stung a little. Had Han moved on already? Letty saw the questioned look in my eye. "He is dating her. but there are still feelings for you there. Still just think it over… You can bring the dog."
I smiled. "I'll think about it."
