A/N: Hopefully I'll have time for another next week. Read and review!

Guest: I'm sorry to hear that. I haven't lost anyone to depression, but there have been very close calls. I disagree that Letty doesn't regret her actions. She's (for the lack of better term) pretty fucked up right now. Putting on an act can only go so far, and very few people do it successfully. She tried it for christmas and she couldn't handle it. She attempts put on an act through out the day for her kids since she won't address her feelings, but all of them accept Axel are grown enough to the facade.

"Mami what do you think of this one?" Mazda asked her mother holding up a black dress.

"It doesn't really matter what I wear." Letty answered apathetically.

"Of course it does, it's your date night." The young girl insisted.

"I thought you told me it was supposed to be a family night?" Letty asked her raising her eyebrow.

"Don't you think you and Papi need some time alone? You know, without us?"

"I see what you're trying to do. I don't like feeling cornered, especially by you and your brother."

"And what is it exactly that we're trying to do?" Mazda challenged. Letty took a deep breath.

"Mazda things between your farther and I have been a bit different."

"Well that's an understatement. You guys just need some time together."

"Maz you can't just meddle like this. It's not appropriate."

"Why not? You're my parent's aren't you? We're family aren't we? Or did you forget that too?"

"Watch you're tone with me." Letty warned. "We're two adults who can figure it out. You're just a kid. This doesn't concern you."

"Of course it concerns me! Do you think we're blind or something? We see exactly what's going on!"

"Mazda…"

"If you can figure it out on your own then why haven't you? This isn't right. Everything that's happened the last few months has been just one shitty hit after another."

"Mazda it's not your place."

"I just wanted to help you!"

"Well then don't."

"Fine!" Mazda said dropping the dress on the floor and running out. Letty went after her, but the young girl locked her bedroom door.

"Mazdi open up." Letty commanded as she knocked.

"No"

"These are your two options. You either open the door nicely now, or you won't have a door anymore within the next twenty minutes. Is that what you want?"

"What I want is my family, and you're ruining it!"

"Open this door or I swear to God that…", the young girl opened the door before her mother could finish her sentence.

"What?" Mazda sassed Letty with angry tears.

"Number one, don't ever talk to me like that if you like your face the way it is. Number two, if you got something to say you say it to my face. You don't run and hide in your room. It's rude. Number three…"

"What? You mean like you?"

"What has gotten into you?" Letty asked her daughter confused, and oddly nostalgic. It reminded her of the screaming matches she would have with Ana.

"The question is, what has gotten into you! I just want things to go back to how they were." The girl told her mother. "But it seems like neither you nor Papi are trying anymore. Why is that?"

"That's not true."

"Yes it is. You're not even together. We always see you separately. He's never here. You're always hiding. You guys used to go out together and have fun, and plan things with us, and now you just walk passed each other. It's like you're already divorced!"

"Don't be so dramatic."

"I'm not being dramatic. When was the last time you guys sat on the couch together, or went on a date, or kissed each other?"

"That isn't any of your business."

"If you guys break-up I have to live with that, and I don't like the idea of only seeing one of you on the weekend or a few times a month." The girl blurted out.

"Baby you need to relax." Letty told the girl as she worked herself up.

"You need to do something!" Mazda yelled before throwing herself on the bed. Letty went to her and rubbed her daughter's back.

"Baby I never said I wasn't going to go. I just said it's not your place to meddle."

"So you're going?" Mazda perked up. Letty nodded in agreement. "And you're gonna wear the black dress?"

"Will that make you happy?"

"Yes" Mazda pouted batting her eyelashes.

"Okay then"

Down the hall Jensen was looking through Dom's closet. "You're just gonna wear a T-shirt? That's so boring."

"Didn't your sister say it was a pottery place? What does it matter? We're going to get dirty anyway."

"Weren't you the one who told me that I always need to dress to impress?"

"I was referring to showing professionalism. This is your mother we're talking about."

"You still have to impress her. Isn't that showing husbandism?" Jensen asked throwing a button-down shirt his way. "You should wear that. I'm taking this."

"You're not allowed to wear my clothes." Dom protested.

"But father, what is yours is mine." Jensen told him sarcastically.

"Who said that shit?"

"I wise man"

"Who"

"Someone who had kids"

"Give me my shirt."

"Pa! I need it. Mami hasn't done my laundry yet."

"Do your own damn laundry. You're twenty for Christ sakes."

"But why? She likes doing it."

"No one likes doing laundry."

"I need this shirt because I have plans with Nessa, and uncle Vince keeps looking at me funny."

"And how is my shirt going to help you exactly?"

"If I look better, he's less likely to kick my ass."

"You're uncle Vince would kick anyone's ass regardless of what shirt they had on. I can promise you that."

"Just let me borrow it!" Jensen exasperated walking towards the door. Dom shrugged not wanting to make a battle of the situation. His mind was a lot more preoccupied with his date with Letty. "Thanks Pa! Let me know how it goes." His son told him as he jogged off to his room. He stared between the white t-shirt and the white button-down tunic.

"It's a fucking shirt." Dom said shaking his head. "It can't be this serious." Once dressed, he waited for Letty down stairs. He had not realized it, but he was pacing. He heard footsteps coming down the stairs, and his head turned towards them. She appeared in a simple, yet really formfitting black dress. Despite her four pregnancies, Letty still had a body that would rival most women half her age. He couldn't take his eyes off her, as their teenage daughter tailed behind.

"Doesn't she look beautiful Papi?" The young girl beamed.

"She always looks stunning Maz." Dom said placing kiss on his daughter's cheek. "You look great Let." He complimented his wife. A faint shade of crimson appeared on her cheeks.

"You look really good." Letty said clearing her throat and scanning his muscular physique.

"Thanks"

"Well off you go you two." Mazda said ushering them out the door. "Have fun!"

"She's pushy isn't she?" Dom commented placing his car key in the ignition of his Charger.

"Definitely persistent", Letty smirked.

"Listen Let. We don't have to go if you don't want to." He advised her before switching gears.

"What would make you think I don't want to go?"

"I don't know." Dom lied. It was no secret they had not been necessarily friendly as of late.

"You don't want to go?" Letty asked concerned.

"I do. It's just that I know it wasn't your idea."

"Well there's nothing to worry about. I want to go."

"Great", Dom said a bit awkwardly. They arrived to the pottery class where they were given two bottles of wine, aprons, and an intro on how to use a pottery wheel.

"Do you want to handle this? I don't trust myself." Dom asked staring at the lump of wet clay in front of him.

"We could do it together." Letty suggested with a smile.

"What is it going to be?"

"Whatever you want. I can paint it later." Dom smiled at her as he attempted to mold a bowl.

"This must be the ugliest thing I've ever seen." He told her as the uneven bowl folded within itself. Letty giggled softly at his struggle.

"Dom you have to be gentle."

"When have I ever been gentle? You used to get mad at me for holding the kids the wrong way."

"You would hold Jensen upside down and shake him. To some people that's considered abuse."

"I wasn't doing it violently, and he liked it. You still can't prove I gave him brain damage." Letty eyed him.

"You think Jensen's normal?"

"I did the same thing with Alexus."

"He has a bigger head. Why do you think he recovers from all his concussions so quickly?" Letty argued causing Dominic to laugh at the absurdity of her statement.

"So his big head protected him from the brain damage I caused our second born?"

"Yes"

"That's ridiculous."

"Say what you want. I know what I know." Letty told him as she finished her second glass of wine.

"Right…can you make this look like an actual bowl? Please." Dom said staring down at blob he had newly formed.

"It's like this", Letty said taking his hands and guiding them around the clay. Dom looked down at his wife. She looked beautiful and much like her old self. It brought a smile to his face with the ghost of a grimace. He was torn over how normal the moment felt, but at how at the same time it felt like a Band-Aid. Nothing was being resolved. They were simply ignoring the fact they even had a problem. "You see?" she asked looking up cheerfully.

"Yeah, thanks", Dom said giving her a half smile. "Why haven't we done this before?"

"Who knows, you've been so busy with the new tour and all." Letty dismissed.

"You know that's not it." Her smile fell knowing very well what he was alluding to. "Come on Let. We're here for a reason. Lets talk about it."

"Talk about what?"

"Whatever it is that's bothering you."

"Nothing is bothering me. I thought we were having a good time." Letty told him.

"We are"

"Then why ruin it with that?"

"Because it's not real if we don't actually deal with what's wrong." Dominic pushed. "Are we ever going to talk about it? Do you really want to pretend like everything is okay?"

"I would like that tonight." She emphasized. "I was enjoying myself." Letty began suddenly fidgeting with her messy fingers, unsure of what to do with herself.

"Well I can't do it."

"I'm sorry to hear that." Letty said no longer looking at him. "Do you ever wonder what it's all about?"

"Wonder what what's about?"

"Life", she answered. Dom gave her a bewildered look, causing Letty to shake her head in attempts to clear her thoughts. "Never mind"

"You're going to honestly brush off a question like that?"

"Just forget it. It's not important."

"That's what you don't get. It is important. You don't hide from me. Why are you holding back?"

"We'll talk one day." Letty said as she molded the clay.

"So not today?"

"No, it will be when I can finally put my thoughts together in a way that makes sense."

"When will that be?"

"I don't know."

"There's not a lot that I can do with I don't know Let."

"It's all I can give you right now." She said letting out a deep breath. "All done."

"Okay, so you want me to just act normal."

"Yes, I know it's a lot to ask." He irritatedly rubbed his temples, unsatisfied with her response.

"I guess I don't have a choice. We'll be normal today." Dominic agreed. "What do we do with this thing now?"

"They have to bake the bowl and then I'll pick it up tomorrow." She told him. "We should clean up."

"Wanna go grab some food?"

"Yeah", she smiled at him.

"I think I saw a food truck on the way over." Dom drove them to the spot he had mentioned. He ordered eight tacos for himself, and four for Letty.

"Remember when you used to bring me tacos when I was hormonal?" She asked him nostalgically. "I didn't even like them much before I was pregnant with Alexus."

"I'm surprised that Alexus didn't come out with a Sombrero the way you were throwing them back."

"Shut up", Letty laughed. "I liked your dad's cooking way more. Can you ask him to send me a plate? It's been a while since I've had Tony's cooking."

"Will you actually eat it?"

"I'll eat anything Tony makes."

"What about what I make?"

"We weren't talking about you."

"Well now I'm asking."

"You cook pretty good."

"So not real good?"

"I've loved everything you've ever made me." Letty said kissing him on the cheek.

"Aww!" Dom exaggerated. "How sweet!"

"Don't make fun of me." She whined.

"I'm just kidding."

"I've really enjoyed my night with you." She told him lightly caressing his face. She leaned in to kiss him, but he pulled away.

"I don't think that's such a good idea." Dom told her.

"I'm sorry. I know how you feel about it."

"It's okay", Oddly, Letty started laughing to herself as reacted. "Wait, what's up?" He asked her confused.

"Man, the tables have turned?"

"What do you mean?"

"You used to chase my ass, and now I'm chasing yours. You must love this don't you?"

"Of course not"

"Yes, you do."

"How can I? I'm not with the woman I love."

"Because you don't want to"

"That's not true. She's not here." Letty stared at him and then looked away.

"I want to go home." She whispered.

"Let..."

"I want to go home!" She yelled at him.

"I didn't say it to hurt you."

"What did you think that would do? Make me feel good?"

"I don't know. It was the most honest thing I could say."

"Well thank you for being honest. Now put the car in gear and hall ass."

"I don't want to take you home like this. You're upset."

"No shit, how would you feel if I said that?"

"Maybe that wasn't the best way to phrase it." He admitted. "I'm sorry it came out that way."

"It's what you felt." She said tearing up, and getting out of the car.

"Where are you going?" Letty didn't answer him and continued to walk away. "Letty come on get back in the car!" He called to her as she got farther and farther. "Letty!" He ran after her, and grabbing her arm.

"Let go of me!"

"Wait a minute!"

"What do you want?"

"Just get back in the car." He told her softening his voice.

"For what? So you can attack me some more."

"I didn't mean for that to seem like an attack."

"Then what did you mean Dominic? You've been badgering me for weeks!"

"This is hard for me. I don't know how to act around you. I'm always saying the wrong things, and I'm sorry. I'm sorry that I don't know how to be there for you. I'm sorry I can't look passed how you've hurt all of us."

"You think I wanted to do that?"

"But you did it!"

"So you're punishing me? That's what you're doing right?"

"Of course not"

"Yes, you are! You're angry with me so you're trying to hurt me too."

"That's not it."

"You're so cold. I guess my husband isn't here anymore either."

"I wonder why that is?" He told her as she glared back at him. Letty whipped back around and began walking again frustrating Dom.

"Urg stop!"

"No" she said without skipping a beat.

"You know what? Fine! I'm not chasing grownass woman down the street!"

"Good! This grownass woman doesn't want you to!" They went off in different directions. Dom got into his Dodge Charger and drove off. Letty turned around at the sound of tires screeching and saw the shrinking red taillights as they got further and further. She sat on the pavement and began to sob uncontrollably. Letty felt more rejected than the time before, and the time before that. She didn't know why, but moments later in the mist of heartache, Letty found herself searching for Claude's number.

"Hello?" He answered on the other end.

"Hey", her voice croaked.

"Is everything alright? You sound upset."

"I must be getting sick."

"What's wrong? I wouldn't expect a call from you at this time of night."

"Nothing, I just wanted to know if I could set up an appointment for tomorrow?"

"That's not what I meant. If you need to talk we could talk now. I'm actually free so I can meet you wherever."

"No that's not necessary."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah" Letty breathed out holding back her tears. "So can I come in?"

"I'm booked, but I can stay after if you're willing to come in at six."

"No, I wouldn't want to trouble you."

"It's honestly no trouble."

"Okay, I'll be there at six." She said quickly hanging up and placing her head on her knees as she cried silently.

A few miles away Dom was stopped at a red light just as angry as he had been when he left. "Fuck! Fuck! Fuck", he yelled smacking his steering wheel. He was aggravated beyond belief, yet felt a twinge of guilty. He dialed his wife's number to check on her whereabouts. Letty saw Dom's name appear on her phone screen and pensively looked at the picture of the two of them that popped up as it rang continuously. They looked so happy as Dom gave her an adoring kiss on the cheek while her face had been masked with birthday cake. He called her four times before she finally answered. "What do you want?"

"Where are you?"

"Why do you want to know?"

"Because I'm worried and you're my wife?"

"I thought your wife was someone else."

"Don't do this Let."

"Do what?"

"This! I'm coming to pick you up. Are you still where I left you?"

"Yeah", she said before hanging up. Dom drove around in search for her. He found her sitting on an empty bench, with her head down. He stepped out of the car and went towards her.

"Let's go home", he told her taking her hand softly. He placed her in the car. Letty wouldn't look at him, and every time he glanced over she was staring down at her feet.

"Let..." Dom began as he pulled into their garage.

"I don't want to talk anymore. Don't you think we've had our fair share of that?"

"Not even close", he said smoothing her hair back so that he could see her face. "I miss you."

"Then why am I sleeping alone?"

"Because you wanted me to leave you alone"

"Dominic there's a difference between asking you to give me an hour to myself and asking you to move down the hall. You did it because you were mad."

"Fine, I did it because I was angry." He admitted. "I'm sorry I left you during our fight."

"I'm sorry I don't make you happy anymore." Letty said going to open the passenger door, but he stopped her. Dom pulled her face in his direction and caressed it.

"I want to make you happy." He told her softly. "I really do. I hate seeing you like this."

"I just want you to love me." She said losing all restraints opening the flood gates.

"Baby come here", Dom said pulling her into his lap. Her arms encircled around his neck, and she cried on his shoulders. "I love you very much." He said holding her tight and caressing her back. Moments later when her sobs had eased, he grabbed her face and said it again. "I love you. Do you hear me?" Letty nodded her head. "Do you love me? I haven't heard it from you in a long time."

"I love you", she told him desperately kissing him. "I love you, and I want you." She said embracing him again. "Show me you love me." She begged him. "I don't want to feel alone anymore." Dom met her intensity and kissed her fiercely. Letty shut her eyes as he continued kiss her neck. "Tell me you won't leave me." She breathed out.

"I'm always going to be here baby." He told her as they met in another kiss.

"I want you to make me yours again Dominic. I want you to claim me." Letty said bringing his hands to her chest. He gripped her tightly. "Uh..." She moaned out softly, as he caressed her body. Her hips gently moved over him causing her dress to ride up.

"What are you doing to me?" He whispered as she massaged his neck and suckled behind his ear. Dom was hardening by the second. "God Let", he moaned out as she unbuttoned his shirt.

"Pull the seat back", she told him moving her hand down his pants and he let out a very low grunt. Dom kissed her repeatedly until she removed herself from his lap to remove her underwear. She got them passed her knees, but Dom pulled them the rest of the way while kissing her legs as he went. Letty grabbed one of his hands and brought it to her wet center. "It's been so long since you've touched me." She moaned as he massaged her. "Don't stop..." Dom's tongue collided with hers, as her hands gripped his face. She was thirsting for him as if every kiss would be their last.

"Wait, wait", he cajoled as he attempted to adjust himself.

"No" She refused and began stroking him expertly so he wouldn't get away.

"Ah...It's the armrest." He said, although his words were muffled by her kisses. "Just hold on a second." Dom said breaking free.

"I don't care about the fucking armrest Dom!"

"You will tomorrow." He told her pulling down his pants, and grabbing her by the waist once again. He placed her on his lap, as he raised her dress up passed her torso, and suckled on her breasts.

"Shit", Letty moaned pulling him to her as he switched from one nipple to the other. "I'm so wet." Letty rose up to adjust herself onto him.

"Arg", Dom grunted as she slid up and down his shaft. "I almost forgot how good you feel." His hands roamed all over her body while she bounced on him. Her eyes never left his, unless her mouth was pulling on his lips.

"Do it baby", she encouraged as she felt him deeper and deeper inside her. "Oh God!" Letty called out gripping the door handle and accidently pushing down the window. "Uh…Uh", she moaned as their hips worked in sync with each other as Dom grabbed her ass. Her hands kneaded his muscular chest as he licked her collarbone. "I want to feel you everywhere."

"God I love you", he told her while aching for another kiss. She brought his lips to hers as her moans got louder.

"Say it again." She panted uncontrollably as she worked him harder.

"I love you." He murmured into her neck.

"Ah", Letty shook as her lower body clenched around his. She felt the waves of ecstasy that only he could give her, and the drug she would never kick. Her body went backwards hitting the steering wheel. 'Beeeeep!'

"Shit!" Dom jumped startled. Letty laughed pulling herself up by his shoulders.

"Come here", she said kissing him and caressing his sweaty body.

"You taste so good." He murmured to her.

"You do to." She said biting her lip. "You want me to make you cum?" Dom's eyes glazed over her as Letty took complete control and ground her hips against his. Every thrust was faster than the one before. Her body captivated him. Dom could no longer control his breathing. His face tensed up, and she knew he was close. "Come Papa...uh", she moaned into his ear. "I want all of you inside me." Dom didn't know where his hands were or what they were doing, but Letty soon raised his face so their eyes could meet once again. She locked him in a gaze, and he felt a release he feared he would never feel again. "Arg", he bellowed coming inside her.

"Oh my God",Letty moaned into his mouth as she slowed down. Dom held her close as she devoured him in an almost endless kiss.

"You liked that?" He asked her when their lips parted.

"Mhhm," Letty responded dreamily and rested herself against his chest. They sat there in a naked silence, there arms still intwined with the other. It was the most secure either of them had felt in a long time.

"Dom?"

"Yeah"

"I've been seeing someone."

"What?" He roared pushing her away into the passenger's seat. "What the actual fuck!"

"You asked me to remember? Why are you freaking out?"

"Wait what? Who are you seeing?"

"A therapist", She answered.

"Ohh", he said in realization. "I get you now."

"Wait you thought...that I...you're so stupid."

"You said you were seeing somebody. That could have meant anything. Why didn't you tell me? For how long?"

"A few weeks", she said pulling down her dress.

"A couple of weeks?"

"Is that why..."

"I don't know. I'm just trying it out."

"I'm glad to hear that, really glad." He said pulling her into a kiss.

"Can you sleep with me tonight?"

"Of course"

"What about every night?" She asked tracing circles around his pecks.

"Are you asking me to move back into our room?"

"I guess"

"You guess or are you asking me?"

"I'm asking you."

"You're asking me to move back in?"

"Dominic don't make this difficult for me." She sighed.

"I need you to be clear."

"Yes, I'm asking you to move back in."

"Good"

"That wasn't a yes."

"Yes, I'll move back in."

"Okay." Letty said grinning to herself.
