8:23pm
Letty was sitting on the bed and she was making use of her time by wrapping her swollen ankle with the gauze she pulled out of her First aid kit. All day Letty had manage to somehow keep her mind and body busy locked in her room as she patiently waited for the boys and Mia to show. Well she wasn't completely alone; Roman had stayed behind to keep her company however for the past 40 minutes or so Letty was left alone for Roman was out grabbing them something to eat. As Letty wrapped the gauze around her ankle she thought to herself that she really needed to go to the hospital but going to the hospital meant blood samples and she was afraid of the results the blood samples would bring. She turned her head to the side as she heard the sound of her front door censor click open.
Roman walked in. "Alright let's get this party started!" he grinned as he held a grocery bag in one hand and on the other hand he held a box of pizza.
Letty smiled and chuckled. "What did you bring?"
Roman sat the pizza box down and the bag of food onto a table. "Well I brought you your damn Twinkie like you asked which by the way was so hard to find," he pulled a Twinkie out of the bag and tossed it over at Letty. "and…" He pulled a tequila bottle out of the same bag. "tequila baby!" He grinned. Letty's smile turned into a frown.
Letty scratched the side of her head. "Thanks but I don't really feel like drinking right now."
"Why not?"
Letty popped open the plastic wrap of her Twinkie and took a bite out of it. "I just don't feel like it." She mumbled in a mouth full.
"What's this about? Letty Ortiz is rejecting an alcoholic beverage?"
Letty chuckled. "There is always a first time for everything."
Roman pulled out some plastic plates from the bag. "Want a slice of pizza?
"That I will accept" Letty grinned.
Roman smiled and nodded. He pulled out a slice of pizza and placed in onto a plastic plate and then he handed it over to Letty. She smiled a thanks as she accepted his gift. As Letty looked down at her plate she couldn't help but scrunch up her face and gag a bit from the sight and the smell of the anchovies. She covered her mouth with one hand to hold back her gag and she placed another hand on her belly. She looked up at Roman who had his back facing her. She sighed in relieve for Romans unawareness. She placed her plate of food onto the bedside table and stood on her working leg.
Roman turned around with a plate of stacked pizzas in his hands and stared at Letty with a startled look. "You need help girl?"
"No thanks I'm just going to the restroom."
As quickly as her leg can carry her, Letty limped her way towards the restroom. Once she locked the door shut, Letty knelt onto the ground and began to gag inside the toilet bowl. It looked like the heavens were smiling down at Letty when she heard Roman conveniently blast on the radio. When she pulled away she wiped her mouth clean with the back of her hand and leaned her head against the wall. She groaned and felt the wall vibrating from the sound of the loud music as she got lost in her thoughts. Yup, she was definitely pregnant is what she mentally thought to herself but she first wanted to take a pregnancy test just to confirm the obvious. The idea of taking a pregnancy test made the pit of Letty's stomach feel sick from entwined nerves.
Letty walked out of the bathroom and smiled over at Roman. "Nice choice of song."
Roman chuckled and lowered the volume. "Wiz Khalifa Baby!" he said as he waved a sign with his hand. Roman looked over at her full plate. "Not gonna eat anymore?"
Letty limped her way towards the bed and laid on it. "Later but I'm actually gonna take a nap first if you don't mind."
Roman shrugged. "By all means it's your room." He sneakily but not-so-subtlety grabbed the box of pizza and walked out of the bedroom.
10:07pm
Letty woke up to the sound of chattering heard outside her bedrooms door and the shuffling sounds of someone trying to enter her room. She lifted herself up with her eyes barely able to open. She was still in the groggy state of mind, where she hasn't yet fully wakened from her nap. She heard the familiar voice of Mia and Brian on the other side of the door.
The door unlocked and slowly began to open. Roman slowly peered his head through the door to see if Letty was asleep. "Hey girl, you up already? I brought you another present." Roman swung and opened the door wider to reveal Mia, Brian, jack and Leon outside the room. Letty winced a bit as she appropriately sat herself up right and adjusted her hair for her guest.
"Letty! Gosh are you okay!" Mia exclaimed as she excitedly pushed through the front door and went up to greet her friend.
"I should be asking you that" Letty answered as she raised her arm to embrace a hug from Mia. "Heard they were gunning for your head, how you would guys get out?"
Mia nodded her head over towards Leon. "Leon; he was really prepared. He made sure they didn't get anywhere near us."
"Where's is everyone else?"
"Dom is downstairs with Tej and Suzuki getting their rooms."
Leon entered the room and grinned. "Same old Let, busting yourself up worse than your cars."
Letty chuckled and rolled her eyes. Mia sat next to Letty on the bed and draped an arm around her shoulder. "I miss ya girl"
Letty's smile broadened. "Missed you too Mia." She looked up at Brian who held Jack in his arms. "Aw I missed that little fella too." Letty crooked a finger, beckoning Brian to follow. Brian smiled and handed jack over to Letty.
Letty placed Jack onto her lap. "Wow this kid grew." She chuckled. Letty and Jack locked eyes and Letty couldn't help but to feel some sort of strange and familiar fear run through her body. She had held Jack plenty of times before but this time it felt different. As she held him in her arms, she felt the worry that she may soon be holding her own child in her arms. Letty turned her face to the side and locked eyes with Mia. "You want me to take care of him tonight?" She offered.
"Really?"
"Sure," Letty smirked at Mia. "If the shoe was on the other foot, I would want you to do the same thing because come on, I know you guys are not going to spend your first night back together just talking."
Mia chuckled and playfully slapped Letty's arm.
"Can I toss my kid in there to?" Leon asked as he chuckled.
There was a knock on the front door and Leon opened up, allowing Dom to enter. Dom had a pair of crutches pinned underneath his right armpit. Dom and Leon fisted bumped. "Hey man Suzuki and Liam are settled in there room already."
"Cool, thanks man." Leon walked up to Letty and kissed her forehead. "Nice seeing you again girl. Try not to get into any more trouble."
Letty chuckled. "I'll wait until tomorrow." Leon smiled and waved goodbye to everyone in the room. He gave Dom his key card back before leaving the room.
Roman jokingly added. "We should have asked Dom to get you a wheelchair instead. We can trick it out with NOS and just have you speeding through the streets." Letty and Mia let out a loud laugh and Dom just rolled his eyes but smiled nonetheless.
Mia pulled a loose strand of Letty's hair behind her ear. "Hey Let, you wanna go down to the pool tomorrow morning and just lounged around?"
"Sounds good."
Mia smiled. "Awesome." She kissed Jack on the forehead and stood up. Brian walked up to Letty and also placed a kiss onto Jack's cheek.
Mia linked arms with Brian. "Alright Letty, thanks again and I'll see you tomorrow."
"What time?"
"Hm… how about around 10?"
"I'll be there."
Roman yawned and looked over at Brian and Mia. "I'll head out with you guys." The trio said there last goodbyes and left the room, leaving Dom and Letty alone with Jack.
Dom sighed. "So Jack is staying with us?"
"Yup and he is sleeping in between us." Letty answer nonchalantly
Dom nodded, understanding that Letty made it pretty clear that tonight Dom was definitely not getting any. He slipped his jacket off and walked over to his side of the bed. Letty lifted a sleepy Jack up and off her lap. She settled him onto the bed next to her side. Dom lifted his shirt up and over his head. He tossed it onto the floor and locked himself inside the bathroom. Letty placed Jack under the covers and pulled them up until they reached his chin. She shot him a smile and kissed his forehead.
When Dom walked out of the restroom only in boxers, he smiled at the sight of Letty curled on bed and had an arm draped around the little body that was sandwiched between them. Seeing Letty with a baby felt so right to him and it was a pleasant image that never got old or boring to look at. Dom smiled as he flicked the light switch off and got into bed on the opposite side of Letty.
Brian laid on the bed in his room. He held the television remote in his hands as he flipped through the many channels. Mia walked out of the restroom and smiled over at him.
Brian smiled back at her presence "There she is".
Mia chuckled "I was only gone for a few minutes," She scratched her back "could you help me remove this dress" Brian swung his legs over and situated himself at a seating position on the edge of the bed. Mia walked up to him and stood in between his legs with her back facing him. Brian followed the curve of her body with his hands. He then reached up for her zipper and gently pulled it down. He lifted the dress and pulled it up over her head. Mia was left wearing in a strapless black bra and in black panties with a pink cheetah print waistband. Brian held onto her hips and turned her around to face him.
"I love you so much Mia"
"Brian I love you as much as you do"
"Really?" Brian grinned.
Mia cupped Brian's face with her soft hands and kissed him gently. "Really" she affirmed. Brian enveloped his arms around her lower waist and pulled her closer into him. He buried his face onto her bare stomach and her hands held onto his head.
"I'm really worried about leaving you alone now after what happened in Japan." He muffled.
Mia placed a finger under his chin and tilted it up, making him look up at her. "Everything will be fine as long as we have each other."
"I'll protect you."
"We'll all protect each other. We're family that's how we've survived."
Brian nodded and grasped her hand "Yeah you're right"
"So how were things here while I was gone?"
"Everything has been good, but poor Letty had a shitty day today. I'm sure your presences made her happy though."
"Oh I know with her swollen ankle." Mia said sympathetically.
"Not to mention that she got food poisoning earlier. That was just the cherry on the top for her."
Mia furrowed her eyebrows "Food poisoning? What did she eat?"
"Um, I don't know but this morning I caught her hunched over at a toilet seat."
A startled look crossed onto Mia's face. "She was puking?"
"Yeah but don't worry she told me she was fine."
Mia nodded and pursed her lips together as she reflected on the words that had slipped out of Brains mouth.
Brian tightened the grip of their holding hand. "Are you okay? Did I say something wrong?"
Mia shook her head and smiled "No its nothing." She rounded the bed "Come on; let's get you out of those clothes" Mia hopped on her side of the bed. Brian smiled and gladly obliged as he swung his legs back on bed and laid next to the woman he loved.
