Chapter 65
He looked out of the window watching the twilight of the city below. San Diego was a beautiful city and on any other occasion he would have appreciated it. His mind was in another place full of thoughts and worries. Even though three days had passed everything still felt surreal. His whole life had changed in an instant, his sister hated him, his friends were who-knows-where. He ran his hand through his head feeling the stress of it all, a looming headache in the works. Thinking about the last heist was like reliving it, he could still feel the emotions, taste the fear, feel the adrenaline in his veins. He wanted to blame it all on Brian, hell he had blamed it all on Brian. He was just an outlet for his own disgrace, but it wasn't Brian. It was his own fault, the guilt of that day lingered heavily over his chest. His mind went back to it all.
After Brian let him go, which was a big surprise to him, something he never expected but was more than thankful for. He returned home to find Mia sitting down in the living room, he'd gone in there told her it was time to go. She looked at him with a darkness in her eyes that he had never seen before. They argued about him leaving to Mexico and leaving Jesse and Vince behind. She had said that she wasn't going to let Vince take all the fault for the hijackings. In a way he did feel that he was leaving Vince with all the problems, but he wasn't willing to go back to jail. Mia looked at him with hate for making her pick between Brian or himself. She yelled at him, hell she even went so far as to slap him. Yet she had had enough with his shit. He literally had to drag Mia into the Supra, he drove for about an hour until Leon finally called him.
Leon said he had to stop in San Diego because Letty had slipped into unconsciousness and she was having a hard time breathing. Dom felt like his heart had stopped when he heard that she was in a coma. Letty the only other person he loved more then himself, she was always there, she never pushed him away when he needed someone. He could still see the pain in her face when he told her I love you. His only wish would be for her to wake up. Leon told him that there was something else that he needed to know, but that it would be better if the doctor told him. His stomach felt like a whirlwind at the thought of what something else was.
When they arrived to the hospital he broke the news to Leon that Jesse had been shot. Mia told him that Jesse was in the hospital had survived but was in critical condition. Leon's face became pale and worry took over his features, Jesse was his best friend. Dom watched as a doctor walk towards them, a gut wrenching feeling was at the pit of his stomach.
"This is Leticia's boyfriend." Leon told the doctor as the doctor gave him his hand to shake, he took it. "Leticia is in a deep sleep we wouldn't say that she's in a coma because she's not. She has tubes helping her breath, one of her ribs broke puncturing a hole in her lung. She had surgery for that and is in stable condition. The baby is doing fine." The baby? Dominic furrowed his eyebrows, a baby, what baby? He didn't know what to think or what to say for that matter. The thought of the car accident came back in flashes, he felt his breath get caught in his throat. "A baby?" he finally questioned raggedly. "Yes Leticia is three months pregnant." Dominic sat down right away afraid that if he didn't he might fall. She was pregnant. He took a deep breath and stood back up. "Can I see her?" "Yes." the doctor led him into her room, he entered and his heart broke at seeing her so fragile with tubes coming out of her mouth and her side.
Later that night Leon choose to go back to Los Angeles to try and get Jesse out of the hospital. Dom thought it be a good idea and both agreed to meet up in Mexico later on. Mia of course told him that she was going with Leon, that she needed to make sure that Vince was ok. In her eyes he could see that she wanted to find Brian. She had fallen in love with him. "Don't you think your sister is entitled to a little happiness?" Letty's question came back to him. Yes Mia was entitled to happiness and that is why he let her go. But what hurt the most was Mia telling him that she wanted nothing to do with him or to ever see him again. Leon consoled him by telling him that Mia was just under a lot of stress right now. He told Leon to take the Supra and leave the Civic with him. That way the cops wouldn't know what car Dom was using, it would give him time to get Letty out of the hospital and go down to Mexico.
That had been a week ago and he hadn't heard from Leon or Mia. He wondered desperately if they where ok, if they had made it without getting caught. He knew that if one of them ever went to jail because of him that it would kill him with guilt.
Now here he was standing in the hospital room, thinking about that baby. He wondered if she knew she was pregnant, wondered if she had kept it from him. Nah if she knew she was pregnant she would have told him at least that's what he thought and she wouldn't have been drinking.
He was going to be a daddy. He wasn't prepared for this, didn't plan to have kids for awhile. He was still to young to be responsible for another life. This wasn't the best time to be having a baby, how would they raise a child while on the run from the law? He rubbed his temples then turned to sit down in the chair next to Letty. He watched her, her eyes were closed, her skin looked paler then usual. His hand made its way to her lower stomach, he felt the tiny knot there, the child that he had helped create. The unborn child that he and Letty created, he felt like he was dreaming only it was all too real. He was going to be a daddy, a small smile spread across his lips.
Her eyes slowly opened, right away she felt something in her throat it was dry and it hurt. She looked around taking in the room, then at the window she saw a dark figure just standing there. She stared at his back for a moment, remembering the car accident, the truck heist that went wrong. She watched him turn, their eyes met as he walked over towards her. He took her hand and smiled softly at her.
"Baby you're awake." he kissed her cheek lightly. She wanted to ask questions, wanted to tell him that she loved him, wanted to be able to talk, but she couldn't the tube wouldn't let her. A doctor walked in, she hated doctors, she hated hospitals and by the looks of things she was in one.
"She's awake...I'll check her vital signs." she was told to follow the light with her eyes. Afterwards the doctor looked back at Dominic. "Everything seems to be fine." He smiled "Have you told her?" the doctor asked. "Told me what?" she thought. "No I want her to be able to talk." Dominic looked at the doctor who nodded. "Well I'm going to check if she can breath on her own, which she should be able to." the doctor walked to her side as he fiddled around with the tube. He began to pull on it "Cough" she did so and the tube came out right away. She coughed some more hating the taste and dry feeling it left behind. They handed her some water and she took it graciously.
"Tell me what?" she questioned looking at Dom. "Um…Let you're pregnant." her eyes became wide. Pregnant…she looked up at Dom making sure he wasn't lying to her. "What?" she asked disbelievingly. "You didn't know?" he questioned her. "No I didn't know." she spoke huskily. "You're three months pregnant." The doctor add. Three months, how could she not know? She didn't know what to think. Then it hit her, over the last three months she had gotten drunk more times then not. "The accident." she spoke up with shock. "Everything is fine. The baby is doing fine, nothing bad happened, you just need to take care of yourself from now on." The doctor instructed. "Well I'll leave you two alone."
