Chapter 42
"Remember when we went to Mexico?" he nodded looking confused. "Well I kinda got pregnant." she stammered out. He looked at her with shock, "What?" "I was pregnant but my dad had problems with someone because my younger sister Emily died. Anyways, well some woman shot my dad and I. I was in the hospital for two weeks in a coma or whatever, when I woke up Kate told me that my dad had died and that…." tears began to roll down her caramel skin. "the bullet went through my stomach and hit the baby. I lost the baby." she began to sob for the first time really grieving the lost of her daughter. Dominic got up and went over to her tears streaming down his own cheeks, he hugged her and placed soft kisses on her face. "Baby it wasn't your fault. Is this why you said that I would hate you?" she nodded. "Aw baby I have no reason to hate you. What happened was not your fault and I don't blame you. Do you know if it was a boy or girl?" he swallowed hard when he asked her. "Yeah, I was five months pregnant. It was a girl and I named her Elisa Karina Toretto." Dominic had a soft smile on his lips, "That's a nice name. Where is she buried? I would like to go see her." Letty downcast her eyes, "She is buried in the same commentary as your father and mother. I've only been there once I couldn't take the pain." he caressed her cheek lightly, "We'll go together, but right now I want to know why your sister is in trouble with Johnny Tran."
"Well while I was in the hospital Dahlia my older sister wanted to take me back to Puerto Rico. So one night when she fell asleep I left the hospital. I walked to a park and spend the night there. The next morning I met Jesse and Leon and we've been living together ever since. We live in a park, they are very good friends of mine and have helped me through a lot. We needed money and we started selling some drugs for this guy but we owed him money and he said that if we didn't pay him back in two weeks he would do something to me. So I went to Johnny Tran, he leaned me the money with the deal that I would work for him. I started boosting cars for him, Jesse and Leon helped me, but they don't know how I know him. Well yesterday he told me he had another job for me but he wanted me to kidnap some girl for him. I refused and then he took me into his warehouse and my sister was there. I need to get her out of there Dom. Please help me."
He looked at her unable to believe that she had been selling drugs and putting her life in danger that way. He felt anger but he also understood her.
"Ok I'll help you, but I want to meet this Jesse and Leon." she smiled at him and kissed his lips softly.
Jesse woke up and found the spot where Letty usually slept empty, he looked around and didn't find her. "Lee wake up Letty is missing." Leon shot up and looked around then rubbed at his eyes. "She probably went for a walk." Jesse was fidgeting with his fingers. "Well what if something bad happened to her?" Leon looked at Jesse with narrowed eyes, "Don't say that dawg. She is fine she knows how to defend herself." Leon stood up stretching his sore muscles, "Ugh we got to stop sleeping on concrete." "Look." Jesse pointed at Letty and a big guy standing next to her.
"Hey guys." she greeted them and walked over to them, Dominic followed her. "Hey" they both responded. "Guys this is Dominic, Dom this is Leon and Jesse." the guys all looked at each other. "So this is the guy you told us about?" Leon questioned suspiciously. "The father of Elisa?" Jesse asked nervously eyeing Dominic's big frame. "Yeah guys, this is him. So we talked, how would you guys like to come and live at his house?" she asked with a smile on her face. Jesse got a big grin and became excited, "Are you for real?" Leon asked looking at Dominic. "Yeah, Let tells me that you two helped her out and that you're good friends of hers. That alone says a lot." the boys laughed knowing that it was hard for Letty to become friends with people. "Well I guess we can take you up on that offer, what da ya say Jess?" "I want to go." Jesse replied with excitement.
They grabbed the little stuff that they had and headed towards Dom's car. When they arrived at the house Dominic showed Jesse and Leon where their rooms where going to be at. They all sat in the living room.
"So what are you going to do with DT?" Letty asked. "I was thinking of opening it. I don't know maybe we can get it running again." Dominic ran his hand on his head. "What is DT?" Leon asked the couple. "My dad's garage." "You have a garage? What are you going to do with it?" Jesse asked with more confidence. "Yeah my dad used to work on cars. I think we can open it. You two know anything about cars?" Jesse and Leon nodded, "Yup we know some things." Dominic nodded taking in their information and thinking about what to do. "Hey have you heard from V?" Letty looked over at Dom. "Yeah about a year ago when I first went to prison. He's at some military school and I don't know when he gets out. Tell me something did you graduate from high school?" Dom questioned Letty. "No." she looked away in shame, Dominic took her chin and his fingers turning her to face him. "It's okay. I'm not mad at you or anything." he kissed her lips softly. Jesse and Leon smiled at the couples display of emotions.
