AN: Before it gets pointed out I know Letty is coming back in the sixth movie but this song just inspired me for a fic. Enjoy.

I found a picture of you today

I almost threw away

It brought back things I hadn't thought of in a while

Staring at the look on your face

Took me back to that place

That my mind would take me every time you'd smile

In love sometimes it seems nothing ever could go wrong

In love

You don't realize you're living in a fantasy

Until it's too late

You don't come crashing down into reality

Until she's gone

And all you've got left is the memories.

Memories- Ne-Yo


Dom's POV

I sighed as I stared into what I deemed as the junk room at Mia and Brian's. Mia had demanded Brian and I start clearing it out so we could get it ready for the nursery and it had to be done today. I rubbed the back of my neck looking at the boxes that littered the room. It was clear just by looking at the piles this was going to take longer than a day, but I knew Mia would hit the roof if it wasn't done by tonight.

"It's seven- thirty on a Saturday morning. I shouldn't be awake." Brian mumbled as he joined me at the door.

"Tell your wife that."

"Tell your sister that." I bit back smiling at him.

"Man pregnancy has made her go crazy." He whispered looking around making sure Mia wasn't anywhere in sight.

"You were the one that knocked her up, deal with it O'Conner." I laughed quietly as he threw a glare at me before moving into the room. I followed in behind him and started sifting through boxes.


"What is all this shit?" I swore as I pulled out bits and pieces of everything. We had been at it for an hour already and we were ready to tell Mia to shift this stuff herself.

"I have no fucking idea." Brian muttered angrily as he struggled with what looked like tangled lights of some kind.

"Why did this have to be done now?" I muttered and Brian only grunted in response.

"Because I'm due in twelve weeks and nothing has been started yet for nursery." Mia spoke as she entered the room.

"There's still plenty of time." I reasoned but the look she sent me told me I was fighting a losing battle.

"It's getting done today." She ground out and I sighed as she left the room.

"Don't piss her off. Trust me it's not worth the fight." Brian sighed as he gave up with the lights. I rubbed the back of my neck as I looked around the room and tilted my head as I spotted a small yellow box. Curiously I walked over to the box and took the lid off as I looked inside. My insides froze as I realised what it contained. Reaching in I gently lifted out the picture frame and stared painfully down at the picture it held.

"Hey you can give me a hand for a minute?" I heard Brian ask but I ignored him as I brushed my thumb over the woman's face in the photo. I felt my eyes water a little but I blinked it away and turned to Brian as he called my name loudly.

"What?" I asked quietly sniffing as I turned to look at him. He frowned and stared back at me.

"What's wrong?" Brian asked me as he looked to the box. His eyes caught the photo and his eyes softened. He gave me a small smile as he came and stood next to me.

"I forgot Mia had that in here." He spoke as he took the photo, I watched as he smiled sadly before handing it back to me as he looked into the box.

"How did you get this?" I whispered as I kept my eyes trained on the photo.

"We managed to bring it all the way from the states. There are other photos in the box and a few of Letty's things as well I think. Mia wouldn't part with them and I didn't want to leave them behind either." He admitted and I closed my eyes as I held her picture a little tighter.

"I thought they were gone forever." I whispered as I turned back to the box wondering what else Mia had managed to salvage of Letty's.

"We were supposed to give them to you but then you met Elena. Mia didn't want to show you them because I think she was hoping you would move on."

"I can't ever move on Brian. She was everything to me." I said as I stared at the picture once more. I remembered that day like it was only yesterday and every part of me wishes it was. We were so young and carefree back then, Letty and I were happy. We were together again and we had no plans of being apart again. How naïve we had been.

"I haven't wanted to ask Mia but when was it taken?" Brian asked quietly.

"It was our first family barbeque after I got released from prison, before the heists and the racing. Everything was good back then." I spoke and he nodded.

"Do you miss her?" He asked quietly and I nodded immediately.

"When I was with Elena it was easy to forget about her, about everything. Then I realised I didn't want that happening, I wanted to remember Let. I needed to remember her, I owe Letty that. She was my world and I realised I was only with Elena because it numbed the pain."

"You can't blame yourself." He spoke and I shook my head.

"But I do, every day. If I hadn't of left her she'd still be here with me. I fucked up and I'll never get a second chance to make things right." I said sadly as I was overcome with emotions that I had locked up for too long.

"She'd understand. She'd want to see you happy." He tried but I shook my head again as I picked up her dog tags.

"For me there's no happiness without her."

"I get it." He said after a long pause and I nodded.

"Take the box Dom, it was always meant for you." A soft voice came from the door. I turned my head sideways and caught sight of Mia at the door.

"Can this wait?" I asked, my voice thick with pent up emotion as I gestured to the room. She nodded and I picked up the box and moved towards the door. I dropped a kiss to Mia's cheek as I passed and gave her a small smile before leaving. Once I safely in the car I turned on the ignition and cast another look at the yellow box on the passenger's seat.


"I'm glad you're home papa." A soft voice floated through the silent room. I brushed back her hair and placed a kiss on her head as she nestled more tightly into my side. Pulling her even closer I made sure she wasn't going to move before I settled once more. It was in the early hours of the morning and we had finally satisfied our hunger for one another. It had been a long two years and I was glad to be back home with my family and the woman I loved.

"I missed you Letty. I don't know what I would have done if you hadn't of been here waiting for me." I confessed quietly. I hummed quietly as I felt her lips on my neck.

"You'll never have to find out. I'll always be here."
