Chapter 67
Over the last six months the team had a lot to get used to. They hadn't heard from Mia or Vince, but they never mentioned it. They all new Dominic didn't want to talk about either person, so the team left the subject alone.
They had made new friends, two of which were close to the family. Layla and Madeline who had lived two houses down with their parents. Leon had first met Layla, after many afternoons of watching her on the beach he finally got the balls to talk to her. They became friends and she became best friends with Letty. Then there was Madeline Layla's sister who they met a month after meeting Layla. Jesse put his eyes on her and wooed her for about two months before they got married which surprised the team.
The team opened up a new garage. Of course the guys couldn't stay away from cars or racing for that long, it was in their blood. Nor could Letty, but with a big belly she could not get under a car. Instead she helped out with what she could, which was mainly paperwork.
The racing scene was good. There was more and better competition then there had been in L.A. Dominic dominated the street scene in Puerto Vallarta.
Dominic and Letty had enjoyed her pregnancy, that is up until today that is.
Letty squirmed as she felt another contraction, she wished she could kill Dominic for doing this to her and she had let him know more then once. "I want to hate you right now." she glared at him, the nurse laughed while Dom looked at Letty. "It's going to be ok." he tried to calm her but it was no use. "Yes it will when I castrate you it will all be ok." she growled making the nurse laugh a little louder. "Oh don't worry they all say the same thing. She'll love you again after the baby's born." Dominic wasn't sure who to believe, but decided to stay clam.
"Ok, I'm going to check you really quick ok?" the nurse looked at Letty who nodded. "You're 10cm. That means it's time to push." They prepared her to push. "Ok you're going to push until I count to ten." Letty began to push as hard as she could and at the same time felt the baby moving downward. After about an hour the head began to crown "I see the baby's head" the nurse told her to encourage her. Dominic looked at her, he was feeling nauseous and light headed. He couldn't stand to watch her in pain. Letty pushed some more then stopped to rest. "Look your baby's head is out." the nurse spoke looking at both Dom and Letty. Dominic looked, a smile came to his face as he saw his child's head. "It's right there baby." he looked at Letty who only smiled at him with tears rolling down her eyes because of the pain. "Come on one more push" the nurse looked at Letty. The doctor tenderly pulled out the baby's arms, the baby was half way out. The doctor looked up at Dominic "You want to help bring your baby into this world?" Dom looked at the doctor with confusion. "Here put both hands underneath the baby's arms. Then gently pull it out. I'll tell you when." the doctor now looked at Letty "Ok push" then turned to look at Dom "Pull it out." the baby came out, the nurse helped Dom put it on Letty's chest.
Letty began to cry at seeing her baby, the baby began to cry. "Ok lets see what you have." the nurse lifted the baby up for Letty to see. "It's a girl." she smiled. The nurse took the baby to get cleaned up. Dominic kissed Letty on the top of her head. "Thank you." he softly spoke to her, she smiled "I love you." he chuckled "That's good to hear." she laughed "I love you too Let."
Later that night a nurse walked in with the baby girl in her arms. Leon, Jesse, Madeline, and Layla where there to meet the new member of their family. "Here you go." the nurse put the baby in Letty's arms. "Aww look at her she's so beautiful." Layla spoke up looking at the baby. "She's so cute." Madeline cooed with a hand on her already swallow belly. "Good thing she looks like her mommy." Leon joked while Dom gave him the finger. "So what's her name?" Jesse asked taking the baby in his arms. She opened her eyes and stared at him. "Mackenzie Toretto"
Mackenzie started crying around one in the morning, Letty moaned still not used to getting woken up so early in the morning. "I got her." she heard Dom tell her, he got up and left to the nursery. She closed her eyes but knew she had to get up either way. After about 5 minutes more she finally got up and walked softly to the nursery.
She entered to find Dominic walking around with the baby on his chest trying to sooth her back to sleep. He was talking to her, telling her about his mom and his dad. She smiled and watched him loving every moment.
This is what she had always wanted, this was her family. It was also a new beginning, a new chapter in their lives. This is what would make them grow up, what would lead them to a new life but they would always remember their past. She loved her life and she loved the two most important people in her life, she walked into the room and began the next chapter in her life.
