Chapter 3

Letty decided to stay for the day. She rode in Dom's car to the garage with him. He pulled into the familiar parking lot and parked the car. Together, they made there to the door and inside. The smell of sweat, gas, and everything in-between hit Letty's nostrils. She took a deep breath of it, just how she remembered it. She walked in and sat on the bench. Dom threw on his work shirt, with Toretto written on it.

He grabbed a wrench and continued working on the car he worked on yesterday. "Who's she staying with?" his voice echoed in the empty workspace.

Letty was snapped out of her thoughts. "Uh, my, my friend. I've been bunking with her for a while now."

"Brooklyn," Dom said to himself. "Doesn't she ask about her daddy?"

"Everyday," Letty told him.

"What do you say?"

Letty shrugged "Nothing."

Dom stopped with the questions and started on the next car. Hours passed and he was starved. They decided to go out for lunch, after Dom cleaned up. They drove to a small diner and Dom held the door open for Letty. They made themselves comfy at a booth and waited for their food.

"Tell me about her."

"Who?" Letty asked sipping her water.

"Brooklyn."

Letty looked at Dom before responding. "Uh, well, she just turned four. Her full name is Brooklyn Natalia Ortiz. She's in preschool, and that's about it."

"Why'd you leave her? In the DR I mean."

"She's got school Dom."

"Then why'd you leave?"

"It was a spur of the moment kind of thing. I felt like we had issues that we needed to talk about. I guess I felt like you thought I was out with your child somewhere, and I needed you to know the truth."

Dom nodded in understanding, "Why didn't you want to come home Let?"

"After the baby, I needed to work on me. Shortly after I got the job. I was gonna come home, I swear. But then I found out I was pregnant, with a bastards child. And I couldn't, for her sake."

"So you moved to the Dominican Republic?"

"Yeah, I did." Letty ate one of her cheese fries. "You know, I can't rely on my friend to watch her. If I stay here any longer, I'll have to bring her here."

Dom's head snapped up. "You're gonna bring your kid here?" Letty nodded. "Letty, she isn't my kid, she don't know any of us."

"You don't turn your back on family Dom. You should know that. Just because she isn't your kid don't mean shit. She's still your family."


"So that's it? You're really going?" Dom asked. Letty was putting on her jacket. She was going to go get Brooklyn. "Letty, it's like a 60 hour drive."

"Then I guess I better get going."

"I'm coming."


It was Dom's turn to drive. They had arrived in the DR about 20 minutes ago, and Letty was fast asleep. She had told Dom where she was living and he drove there. He looked at her, the seat was reclined all the way back, and her feet were up on the dashboard. She looked beautiful, but tired as hell. She drove all day yesterday, until she was about to pass out of tiredness, that's when Dom took over.

The house he pulled up to looked like a small cabin. It was white, with one car parked outside. The living room light was shining through the curtain and the front door was open, with the screen door closed. Dom gently shook Letty until she woke up. She looked around, taking in her surroundings, before quickly getting out of the car. The heat hit them and she tied her hair up into a bun atop of her head. She led Dom to the front door.

She opened it and sitting on the floor in front of a TV was a little girl. Her hair was in a ponytail and toys surrounded her. She looked back when she heard the door shut and saw Letty.

"Mama!" She yelled standing up. Letty knelt down and the small child ran into her arms. Letty picked her up and squeezed her tightly. She placed a bunch of kisses all over her cheeks. Dom stood away, giving them time to see each other. Brooklyn put both hands on Letty's cheeks and kissed her. Letty laughed and put her back on the floor. Brooklyn looked up at Dom, then back to her mother.

"Letty? Is that you Ma?" A voice asked from a different room.

"Yeah Reina, it's me!" Letty called back.

"¿Cómo estaba su viaje?" (How was your trip?")

"Bueno, grande realmente. Estoy aquí retirar a Brooklyn conmigo, como hablamos." (Good, great actually. I'm here to take Brooklyn back with me, like we talked about.)

"Sí, por supuesto." The girl responded, nodding her head. (Yes, of course.)

Twenty minutes later, Letty had Brooklyn's things packed in four bags and a car seat. Dom carried it all out into his car and put it all in the trunk. Letty asked to have a few minutes to say her goodbyes, so Dom and Brooklyn went outside. Dom pulled his phone out of his pocket and turned it on. He was texting Vince when he felt something hit his head. He quickly turned around, and saw Brooklyn. She had thrown a bouncy ball and hit Dom's head.

She ran past him and picked it up, and threw it at him again, "Play with me."

Dom looked at her, unsure what to say. "Not now."

"Please?" She asked, using her puppy-dog eyes. Dom couldn't say no to that, he picked the ball up and threw it to her. She jumped up and caught it, and threw it back. They continued playing, until Letty and Reina walked back out. Dom strapped the car seat in the car behind the driver's seat. He turned around once it was done and Brooklyn was standing behind him. Her small arms were extended for him to pick her up. He looked around for Letty; she was hugging Reina once again. He reluctantly picked her up and sat her in her seat.

He tried buckling her in, but had no idea how. He heard a laugh and turned around to see Letty. "I got it," she said. Dom got in the drivers seat and started the car.


They arrived home around midnight, two days later. Letty carried a sleeping Brooklyn up into the house and Dom brought in all her bags. Mia was sitting on the couch eating some chips watching a movie. She turned around and saw Brooklyn and looked at Dom. He pointed to Letty and Mia quickly got up.

"Who's she?" Mia whispered to Letty.

"Long story," Letty said walking up the stairs. Dom and Mia followed her up and into the guest room. Letty gently placed Brooklyn on the right side of the bed. Dom put the bags on the floor by the dresser and walked out.

"Let?" Mia asked once again. Once again, Letty explained the whole long story to Mia, once she was gone, Mia ha watery eyes. "You and Dom were expecting?"

"Yeah, we were." Mia engulfed Letty in a hug and held her tight. Mia pulled away and smiled at Letty before walking away. Letty climbed up on the bed on her stomach and held herself up with her forearms.

She looked down at Brooklyn, she was gorgeous.
