Author's Note: Short, sweet… fluffy. Someone requested a chapter of their daughter getting married. This centers mostly around Dom's Daddy feels.

A Big Day

This was not a day that Dom had ever seen coming. As his daughter had grown and gotten older he'd had to deal with the reality of her having boyfriends and dating. There was certainly no way to convince her not to do something if she really wanted to, and she wasn't above lying and sneaking around if he was being ridiculous about something.

He really hadn't been too surprised when he'd thought about it. She was a hell of a lot like both him and Letty. So maybe that was why he hadn't seen this coming. And why he still couldn't really wrap his head around it two years after the announcement had been made.

His daughter was getting married.

And she was getting married today.

It wasn't that he didn't like her husband-to-be. In fact he probably couldn't have picked someone better for his only daughter to marry, if she had to marry. Ty Harris had been classmates with his daughter back at the local Junior college. He'd earned himself scholarships and gone on to study electrical engineering at UCLA. He'd graduated the year before and already had a well-paying job with a company in the LA area.

Of course, all of this would have been enough for any other parent.

But to Dom it also mattered that Ty shared his daughter's love for cars. He'd taken her to the Indie 500 the year before and would often spend a Saturday morning working at the garage with them. Letty had once asked why he wanted to spend his weekend working for free instead of sleeping in. He'd told them that he liked working on cars, and besides he wanted to spend the time with his girl.

It was little things like that which made Dom realize this guy was good for his daughter. He put her first, no matter what. He always treated her right, and he always supported her in her goals.

Still, he supposed a part of him had never thought about the idea that she would get married.

She'd moved out not long after starting college, but she'd always been at the house at least twice a week and they still all got together on the weekends. Through the years their family had grown, and sometimes there was a bigger crowd, but for the past few years his daughter had brought Ty along and Vince had brought along his girlfriend Hye-Su. Mia had started betting which couple would get engaged first, but Dom had never expected it would have been the younger two.

And yet here he was.

Standing in the carpeted hallway of the church, wearing a damn suit and wondering how the hell he'd gotten here.

Hadn't it been just yesterday he'd been bandaging scraped knees and telling bedtime stories? He could remember teaching her how to drive her first car, and dancing with her at her Quinceañera. Sure she was grown up now. But that didn't mean he wanted to give her away to someone else. No matter how much he liked the guy.

He wanted to rewind time and hold his baby girl in his arms again. To go back to a day when she wasn't thinking about boys and the most important man in her life was her Dad.

Dom looked up when the door to one of the side rooms clicked open and Letty stepped out. She smiled at him, then crossed to take his hand, squeezing it gently.

"You ready for this Papa?"

"Will it make a difference if I say no?" he asked.

She laughed softly. "I know it's not easy. But she had to grow up sooner or later." She smiled, reaching up to stroke his cheek. "We did a good job, Dom."

He sighed, leaning into her touch. "I know. But…"

"Time to let go," she said. "At least a little bit. She'll always be our girl." She chuckled, pressing a kiss against his lips. "I won't tell anyone if you cry."

"Thanks…" He smirked at her, shaking his head.

She looked beautiful, standing in front of him in a silky red ruched dress that fell to her feet, hair curled and pulled to the side. She grinned up at him, then turned when the door clicked open again. Mia came out followed by Liana – his daughter's best friend since childhood. They both wore the same dress as Letty, in slightly different styles, but the same shade of red. Mia grinned, kissing his cheek.

"You should take a minute to talk to her before we have to walk," she told him, then took Letty's hand and went to go wait near the doors.

Dom looked back towards the room they'd come from to see his daughter standing in the doorway. She smiled at him uncertainly. The wedding dress was fairly simple, as she wasn't one for ruffles or lace. Rather it was a matte white silk with a fitted bodice and sheer sleeves that came down in a v-neck and fell to her elbow. The skirts flared out at her hips, falling in a single sweep to the floor. She grinned and turned to show him the back, where the sheer v came down to meet the satin laces that went down her back. Her dark hair was pulled up away from her face and fastened with a shimmering blue flower that he knew Mia had worn at her own wedding.

"Like it, Papi?" she asked.

He smiled. "You look beautiful. It's… different though."

She grinned. "Not that different," she told him, lifting up her skirts to show him her red studded converse sneakers.

He laughed, pulling her into a hug. "That's my girl."

She hugged him back tightly, resting her head against his chest. "I'll always be your little girl, Papi."

"No matter what," he agreed softly, pressing a kiss to her forehead. Then he drew back to look at her. "You ready to get married?"

She took in a slow breath, closing her eyes, then she opened them and nodded. "I am."

The music started up and Mia started up the aisle, followed shortly by Letty and then Liana.

As Dom and his daughter waited for their signal she glanced up at him, squeezing his arm where she was holding on.

"Were you nervous when you and Mami got married?" she whispered.

"Only that she would decide she had made a huge mistake in agreeing and call it off," he replied with a little laugh.

"What?" Her eyes widened. "Why? You guys love each other like crazy."

He smiled. "Always have, baby girl. But love isn't always easy. It's worth it, but you have to work."

She nodded slowly, turning to look down the aisle at Ty when the doors were opened for them. She smiled, and the radiance on her face chased away Dom's uncertainties. They would make it work. His daughter was happy and that was all he'd ever wanted for her.

When he put her hand in Ty's he still couldn't help the little pang in his chest. He wasn't losing his daughter. His family was growing.

He just prayed that they would wait a few years before they decided to give him grandkids. There was only so much a man could handle, after all.
