CHAPTER 4

Brian turned and scooped the running toddler up in a great sweeping hug holding tight to her tiny form and burying his face in her blonde hair. Her bright form stood out blindingly against his black form. The only similarity was the blonde hair the two shared.

Dom turned from the sight of a father greeting his daughter to Ava who was watching the two with near tears in her eyes. Dom watched her for a moment then asked the question at the back of everyone's mind, "Are you her mother?" Ava turned toward him eyes widening.

"Mommy?" With the typical attention of a toddler the girl was twisting in Brian's arms looking about her. Her question though was aimed at Letty, who stood to the side observing the events. The little girl's question saved Ava from answering, but everyone's attention immediately zoned in on her. Dom stared at her incredulously a dangerous glint in his eye. Letty herself stood there, her mouth opening and closing no words escaping her lips, making her look comically like a fish out of water.

"No hunny that's not mommy," Brian's soft warm tone assured his daughter and everyone else standing around him, "Mommy's gone remember?"

"But when is mom coming back?" Her innocent eyes looked up at Brian and everyone held their breath praying for some happy news for this sweet little girl.

"She's not hunny, I'm sorry, she's not," Brian squeezed the girl to him, pain radiating in his eyes.

"You not gonna leave me?" Her hand came up to stroke brains scruffy cheek bringing into painful clarity Brian's previous statements.

"Oh no hunny, never again, ok?" Brian tried to reassure her. She looked at him with wide eyes completely trusting and nodded eagerly. This was her dad after all, her hero he would never let her down now would he?

Ava walked up and took her from Brian's arms "Hey sweetie can u go with Uncle Kevin and go look at all the cars while Aunt Ava and Daddy talk?" The little girl hastily nodded betraying the fact that she obviously inherited her father's love of cars. "Good girl, go on now."

Kevin held out his hand and the two disappeared into the crowd. "Hey the rest of you guys, would you please clear the crowd please? I think we may need a bit of privacy here." The DA crew nodded to her and began pushing the crowd back out of earshot.

"Ok there are seriously some things that need to get cleared up right now. Starting with who was that?" Rome crossed his arms over his chest and standing next to Dom the two looked oddly similar. Brian looked to where Kevin and the girl had gone with a smile gracing his lips.

"That's my daughter."

"We know its you daughter cuz, we kinda got that with the whole daddy thing. You gonna give us a name, age and what happened to her mother?"

Brian drew in a deep breath, "Before we get to all that I probably should introduce you all to Ava here."

"I was wondering when you were gonna get to me," Ava quipped with a cheeky grin.

"Ya ya, had to check my schedule ya know?" Brian teased back, Ava opened her mouth to retort back, but Vince cleared his throat bringing their attention back, "oh right Ava this is Monica, Suki, Letty, Mia, Vince, Leon, Jesse, Rome, Tej and of course Dom. Guys this is Ava, my sister in law."

Jaws dropped and exclamations of WHAT! Rang throughout the group. "Your married dawg?" as usual Leon was the first one with the function of his vocal cords back.

"I was married, so actually Ava's my ex sister in law, but I claim her anyway." Ava growled and smack the back of his head for that comment. He just flashed a grin at her.

"So what? She leave you because she found out about my sister?" Dom growled obviously not as calm as the rest of the group and still wanting to pick a fight despite his bloodied face.

"What the hell are you talking about?" Brian was truly confused.

"My sister! You know the one you slept with and then dumped!" Dom was once again working up into a rage.

"He's right dawg, that wasn't cool." Leon added his two cents.

"Definitely and now we gonna kick your ass for it." Vince had apparently forgotten his earlier reservations.

"Ok what the HELL are you talking about! I never TOUCHED Mia and I NEVER will."

"I think Mia has something that she needs to say," Letty grabbed Mia's arm and dragged her forward to stand next to Dom.

"So um Dom," Mia was quivering, "I may have exaggerated very, very greatly when I told you about Brian. We did go on one date, but only because I kinda forced him into it and all we did was have dinner." Mia shrank under her brother's and Vince's glare.

"God Damn right that was all that happened like I would ever touched any Toretto." Brian supplied from the sideline.

"Now Brian be nice." Ava admonished him.

"What do you mean never touch us? What the hell did we do to you?" Dom turned back to Brian now more curious than angry.

"What didn't you do to me! Its because of you I wanted to die" Brian was now the one getting worked into a rage.

"Brian maybe you should start from the beginning" Ava told him gently.

"Ok you asked my who my daughter is, her name is Kyra after her mother and she was born 2 ½ years ago on the best and worst day of my life. Her mother and I were married 3 ½ years ago and man was she my life, I had everything I could ever wanted, the crew, my job and her. She would light up the room with her smile and man did she love racing. She was and looked a lot like Letty actually, "Brian smiled remembering his daughter's reaction to her. "The day she told me she was pregnant was the best day of my life I was so excited. Then one night when she was about 8 months pregnant she drove to the races by herself, I still don't know why and when the cops came we got separated. She drove her car back to the house except she never got there, on the way she was hit by another racer causing her car to flip. The other racer drove off probably trying to avoid the cops, but she was trapped in her car. By the time the paramedics got there, there was nothing they could do, but they performed a c-section and my beautiful miracle was born after her mother was dead beside a bloody crash to strangers. I didn't even get to see her until she was a day old. It took me 6 months to figure out who had hit my wife, but once I did I took Kyra to her Aunts and went to hunt him down or die trying."

Brian's and many of the women's eyes were filled with tears, many of them spilling over.

"Who was the racer B?" Suki asked although most people already knew.

"Dominic Toretto, you remember that night Dom?" Brain glared at the large man who hung his head in shame. "I bet you went back to the fort and laughed about how you avoided the cops again. Did you even notice the car that you clipped had flipped? Did you?"

"I did," Dom whispered the words, but they were still loud enough for Mia and Letty to hear him and look at him with absolute horror.

"But that's right you would die before you go back, isn't that right?" Brian continued to rant. "Except you didn't die Dom! Kyra did! She died for YOUR mistakes God Damn YOU!"

Dom stood there and silently absorbed the abuse thrown at him.

"HEY Demon! Time!" One of the DA crew called to Brian tapping his watch. Brain took a deep breath and regained control of himself.

"Ok we will finish this at the DA house lets go." Everyone began to head back to their cars when Leon turned to Mia and asked,

"So if you didn't sleep with Bri the who got you pregnant?"

A.N. Sorry a short one, but hopefully that clears up some of the questions and sorry for all the cliffies, but they are fun and also you should be able to guess this one so it's not that big of one. Also I have put links to pictures in my profile of any new characters I have introduced so you can get an Idea of what they look like. Please review if you have any opinion about it at all good or bad I want it all. Thanks again till next time )

A.N.2 I just wanted to put in a note here that the whole baby being born after the mother is dead thing is very possible especially so late in the pregnancy.
