Dom looked at Letty,
"We don't have to keep going"
Letty nodded,
"Oh yes we do"
Dom smiled a little nodding,
"It was three months in to the pregnancy, the night of your birthday party."
"Dom I don't want you to go to her party"
"Why not? She's my best friend"
"Oh I don't know, because you slept with her"
"Months ago. I told you it was a mistake. I apologized."
Bonnie sighed,
"I don't want you to go"
Dom started down the stairs,
"She's been in my life since I can remember. I haven't missed one of her birthdays I'm not starting now"
Bonnie moved to the top of the stairs and looked at him,
"I don't trust her. She doesn't even like me"
"She's nothing but nice to you"
"And why do you have to always defend her? You're supposed to be getting married to me!"
"I didn't put a ring on her finger did I?"
Bonnie glared at him,
"Well maybe we shouldn't do this"
"Maybe we shouldn't. I'm going to this party, are you coming or not?"
"What do you think?"
Dom rolled his eyes walking to the door. Bonnie started down the stairs, she was so pissed she wasn't paying attention and tripped. Dom turned just in time to see her tumble down the last stair.
He ran over,
"Bon, you alright?"
Bonnie looked at him, with tears already in her eyes,
"The baby"
Fear washed over Dom's face, as he helped her out to the car. Dom was not driving the speed limit. Bonnie was holding her stomach with tears streaming down her face. Her body was in pain, and she already knew she had lost their baby.
When they pulled in to the parking lot Dom helped her out of the car, and he was screaming for help as they walked in. A nurse ran up to them,
"What's wrong?"
"My fiancée she fell down the stairs, she's pregnant"
The nurse nodded as they rushed Bonnie in to a wheel chair. Dom slide down the wall. When he found out she was pregnant he didn't want it to be happening, but he had always wanted to be a dad.
And now that dream was disappearing. It was his fault; he had gotten her so mad that she fell down the stairs. He knew it was his fault if he had just forgotten about Letty and stayed with Bonnie, he would have a kid in six months.
That should have been his number one concern. He failed his child. He failed himself. Hours later when he was guided to see Bonnie she looked so broken, or vulnerable. He sat beside her and took her hand,
"I lost our baby"
Dom nodded,
"It's okay, it wasn't your fault"
She nodded,
"I should have been more careful"
Dom put his hand on her cheek as she started crying harder, barely out a whisper,
"Our baby is dead"
Dom sighed as he laid beside her pulling her in to his chest. She started weeping in his chest clinging to his shirt. Dom was rubbing her back trying to get to her calm down. Something in that moment bonded them. They both lost something that was a part of them.
Dom knew then that he wouldn't ever be the one to put that pain in her eyes again. He knew that pain, he felt it when he lost his father. He was going to make it up to her, even if that meant he wasn't going to be happy.
Letty stopped him and moved to straddled him, taking his face in her hands. He leaned in to the touch,
"That's why you didn't show up that night?"
He nodded, and she asked again,
"That's why you made me work on the other side of the shop two weeks and you barely talked to me?"
He nodded again,
"I just didn't know what else to do except force you out of my life"
"That worked well for you"
Dom smiled,
"You always had me wrapped around your finger"
Letty smirked as she just hugged him remembering one of her favorite memories,
Letty was throwing things around her bathroom trying to find her last box of tampons. Dom walked in and laughed,
"Lose something?"
She stood up no amusement in her face,
"Don't start"
Dom laughed,
"What's got our panties in a knot?"
She hopped on the counter, and pouted,
"Dom"
She looked at him the puppy dog eyes, and he groaned,
"Oh god, what do you want?"
She pouted and grabbed his hand,
"I ran out of tampons"
Dom pulled back a little and gave her a disgusted look,
"I don't need to know those things"
Letty glared at him,
"A good boyfriend would go get me some"
Dom laughed and pointed at himself,
"You want me to go?"
She nodded and smiled,
"Please"
"Give me one good reason."
Letty's lips twitched as she said simply,
"You love me"
Dom groaned,
"Fine"
Letty smiled and kissed him before he turned to leave. She pulled him closer, and Dom pulled back, Letty raised an eyebrow,
"Don't be a tease"
She laughed,
"Babe"
Dom shook his head walking out of the room,
"Next week you owe me for this"
Letty smiled,
"I love you too"
She heard Dom laugh as he walked out of the door. She had used her last one after her shower and now she was waiting for him to get back. They didn't say I love you too often, but when they did they knew they meant it. They didn't need to always say it to feel it. They also didn't need the other one to say it back. When they wanted to say it, it came out and they carried on.
Letty turned on an old Jennifer Lopez rom-com and snuggled in to the bed. She heard Dom's boots coming up the stairs and smiled as he came through. He did not look happy, Letty smiled,
"So do you still love me?"
Dom laughed,
"God woman I wouldn't do that for anyone else"
Letty eyed the bags he had in his hands,
"Why do you have like four bags? I only needed one box"
Dom smiled and dumped each of them on her. Letty laughed at them, he had picked up every single box in every single brand and size. She smiled up at him,
"Why didn't you just call me?"
Dom shrugged,
"I wanted out of there"
Letty smiled as he sat beside her kissing her temple. He looked at the screen,
"Another J-Lo movie Let?"
She shrugged,
"I like them, what's in that bag?"
Dom smiled,
"Oh, chocolate."
Letty smiled and reached for it. Dom held it to the side as Letty knocked the boxes off the bed and straddling him.
"Please"
Dom laughed and shook his head. Letty smirked and took his face in her hands kissing him, forcefully. Dom dropped the bag and put his hands on her hips pulling her closer to him. Letty smiled and pulled away grabbing the bag.
"Tease"
Dom whined as she moved to grab the bag and curl into his side. She smiled and broke off a piece of the chocolate and feeding it to him, and kissed his cheek,
"In four days you will not be sorry you did this"
Dom laughed as he bit in to the chocolate bar, enjoying just being close to her.
Letty finally pulled away from the hug and made him look at her,
"It's not your fault"
Dom nodded,
"Yes it is."
"Dom, you didn't push her down the stairs. She tripped. We have all tripped going down those stupid stairs"
"She lost the baby because of me"
Letty shook her head,
"Dom, this is not your fault. You did everything you could. You took her to the hospital. You were there for her, but you can't make yourself miserable just because something bad happened"
"You don't get it. I lost my kid Let, I didn't even know if it was a boy or a girl and it was gone. You don't know how that feels"
Letty looked at him and bit her lip,
"Yes I do"
