Letty stood completely still as she stared at Dom. Her mouth slightly open as she was trying to comprehend his request. Her brain could not take in all the information her ears had heard.
"This is the part where you say something"
"I...I...I can't...move in with you" she said as she stuttered.
"Why not? It seems like the most reasonable thing to do"
"Yeah if you've known each other for some time"
"Come on Letty"
"No! You could be a goddamn serial killer"
Dom laughed as he listened to her.
"It's not funny. I'm serious, I am not moving in with you"
"How are we supposed to raise a child?"
"We'll figure it out"
"You're being stubborn"
She gave him the 'excuse me' look and trudged off towards her car.
"And now you're being immature!"
With that she gave him the finger and got into her car, driving right past him. He just stood there not knowing what to do either. He knew she just needed som time to cool off and to just take in all the information.
Letty didn't know what to do. What the hell was he thinking? She couldn't just move in with him just like that. He could be a bloody rapist or worse a mad ass doctor. She didn't mind moving in with him but this was too soon. Maybe after having the baby but now...she was not sure.
She went back home, heading straight for the refrigerator grabbing a tub ice cream and a spoon as she plunked herself down in front of the television catching up on the latest episodes of Scandal.
She was eating while watching the show as Mia walked in.
"How was the ultrasound" she said as she sat down next to Letty.
"Okay I guess" she answered sounding rather somber.
"What the hell happened?"
"What makes you think something happened?"
"This" Mia said pointing to the TV and the tub of ice cream.
"This is me being a very hormonal pregnant woman"
"What did he do?"
She just shook her head and continued watching the show.
Mia wasn't taking her bullshit, she turned off the television and grabbed the tub away from Letty.
"Hey" she yelled, glaring at Mia.
"I'll give it back, if and only if you tell me what happened.
Letty knew there was no arguing with her best friend. She took a deep breath and told Mia everything. She told her about the Dom and the little girl, the ultrasound and most importantly about what happened before she left. Mia listened giving her input here and there.
"You're siding with him!"
"You're being ridiculous"
"I'm am not!"
"Look, I won't be here all the time, in fact I'm going out tonight, what is something happens? Who's going to take care of you when I'm not here?"
"I can take care of myself"
"That's what you think, the best thing for you to do right now is to move in with him. Think about the baby"
Letty knew Mia was right but yet something was telling her 'no'.
"I have a dinner appointment with some guy who wants to work with us and I heard he's cute"
"Have fun"
"Do you need me with you?"
She shook her head.
Letty sat on the couch helping Mia get dressed for her dinner, choosing the best dress that was conservative but had that sexy vibe too it. Mia made sure Letty had dinner and was comfortable before heading out.
It was getting pretty late and Letty found herself yawning more and more as it was getting late. She decided to hit the hay early after the busy day she had.
She washed up and got into something comfortable. She slipped into the duvet and within minutes dozed off.
At 2 a.m in the morning she woke up to go to the bathroom as she felt a sharp pain in her lower abdomen. She ignored it knowing it was just indigestion and went to bed. She started getting worried after the pain did not seem to want to ease. She tried calling Mia but there was no answer.
Without much of a choice left she called Dom.
"Is everything okay? Are you okay?" Dom asked sounding quite groggy.
"I am having these really terrible pains"
"Hold on. I'm on my way"
She felt something wet and touched her pants. When she looked at her fingers she started to panic.
"Dom, please hurry, I'm bleeding"
