Welcome back:) enjoy. I tried to keep this one shorter.

Nat's POV

"Don't sweat it, Nat. everything will be better tomorrow, and think about it like this, all the hard stuff is out of the way."

"You're right." I tell him walking over to the refrigerator wearing a pair of his boxers and an old ratted v neck.

I let out a long sigh after grabbing a beer, that I was in desperate need of, and settled in the far corner of the couch, my legs thrown over Adrien's lap as he absentmindedly draws circles into my calve, while the other hand plays with the sock on my left foot. "My boxers?" he asks looking at me out of the corner of his eye.

I nudge him a little with my foot. "Are you complaining?" I ask eyebrows raised

"Not at all." he says pulling my onto his lap my head resting on his chest as he runs his fingers through my hair.

"Hey can I ask you something?" I hear him whisper.

"Go for it." I tell him while continuing to watch the t.v.

"How far along is mia?" I turn my body to look at him, curious as to why he's asking.

"About 7 ½ months. Why?"

"Do you ever think about our future, you know kids?" His eyes look hopeful. Which breaks my heart, because the truth is I'm not sure. I've really never thought about it.

I look down picking nonexistent lint off my shirt. But he lifts my chin so I'm looking at him. His eyes begging for an answer.

"Adrien, I love you. I do. But what if I'm not cut out to be a mother. I mean, look at my mom, and look at the life we live. What you're gonna trade in your hemi 'cuda for a minivan?"

"I don't know. I never thought about kids before but seeing mia tonight I guess…maybe in a different life." he sounds so defeated my heart hurts.

"Look at me. Nothing is for certain. Just give me a couple years. I like having you all to myself…for now."

I see a smile spread across his face "I'm going to hold you to that."

"I'm sure you will." I say laughing and downing the rest of my beer. Then he carries me piggyback style up to bed.

Adrien's POV

Nat quickly falls asleep laying her head across my body as I stroke her long hair.

Today has been long and rough, but through everything that has happened, the only thing I can get my mind to focus on is the woman in bed with me, and how much I want a future with her.

I never thought I would have kids and Nat has never brought it up. So, I just assumed it was a silent agreement. I can't explain it but seeing Mia with Jack and Brian, I can't deny that it would be nice to see Nat that way. to have a little house on the beach in the DR watching her walk down the beach with our baby in her arms. I know she's scared. She's scared we can't do it. She's scared she'll end up like her mom. I can see it in her eyes when she heard the word kids. And what about the garage and the jobs? It's who we are. I'm worried about giving it up, but I would for her, for us. I just hope she realizes that there is nothing to be scared of. I will always be there for her, and I would never let anything happen to her. I know it'll take some time for her to come around and that's fine with me, I have all the time in the world, because there is nothing I wouldn't do for this woman. Nothing.

The next morning I wake up to feel a slight pressure on the lower abdomen. I open my eyes to investigate and I find very awake Natalia straddling me.

"Not a bad way to wake up." I tell her as she leans down to kiss me.

"Really not bad, huh? I can stop if you'd like." she begins to dismount, before I grab her and rolling us over so I have her pinned, hands above her head.

"Have I ever told you, you are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen?" I ask kissing along her collar bone.

"Mmhm. That's more like It." she says reaching to kiss me properly.

We spent the rest of the morning in bed.

Dom's POV

"So you're not coming in…alright…thanks." I hang up the phone. "They're not coming in. Nat wants to give us a day to have the garage to ourselves. Give us a chance to get used to things, and the way Adrien sounded I'm sure that's not the only reason."

Letty walks out of the office hands on her hips.

"Dom she's not a little girl anymore. Besides it'll be nice to have the place to ourselves for a while."

"I know she's not. But it doesn't feel weird to you? She's your sister."

"Of course it is. But do you remember us at that age?"

"That's what I'm afraid of." blushing she laughs a little.

"You remember when Mia first got with Brian?" I nod "and look where they are now. He's a good kid. Give them a chance. Isn't Nat entitled to a little happiness? Especially with all she's been through and he's still there for her."

"Fine. I'll back off, but if he breaks her heart I break his neck" I inform her.

"And I'll be right there with you. Now let's get to work these cars aren't going to fix themselves." she tells me as she makes her way over to one of the cars.

About a half hour into our day we hear a car pull up and as I make my way to the drive way to I run into Leon carrying two bags of fast food.

"Leon!"

"Hey brother, thought you guys could use some fuel."

Before I can grab the bags Letty runs up and snatches them, taking them out back to the table.

"Someone was hungry." Leon teases.

"Dom's trying to starve me out man, he wouldn't even let me eat breakfast, cause he wanted to get here early." she says with a mouthful of fries.

"So whatchu up to le?" I ask him.

"I just wanted to stop by see how your first day was going."

"A lot of memories in this place."

"Yea there is. Are you guys doing anything for Mia?"

"What do you mean?" I turn to look at Letty but she looks just as lost as I am, biting into her burger.

"You know, like a baby shower? Cause I was thinking maybe we can have something small for her and Leah I know she really liked talking with her yesterday."

"Yea man, that's a good idea." letty praises, her mouth full.

"Yeah, when do you want to do it?" I ask.

"Next month? That gives us a little time to get prepared."

"Yea sounds good" he gives him a hard handshake.

"Great. Hey I'm gonna takeoff I have a couple orders I got to pick up from Harry's"

"Thanks for the grub." Letty shouts after him.

"You really think this is a good idea?" I ask, while picking up my burger to take a bite. I'm not even sure what a baby shower entails.

She shrugs. "I mean, it would mean a lot to Mia. I wasn't there for Jack. It would be nice to throw my best friend the baby shower she never had. Besides it's also for Leah and Leon"

I nod in agreement.

"Hurry. We still have a few more cars to finish up."

Natalia's POV

After last night's talk with Adrien, I feel a little guilty. I never expected him to bring up a future together. But after this morning I am feeling a lot better. Not to mention he hasn't brought it up again. So I'm assuming or rather hoping I have bought myself some time, before his baby fever flares up again.

The truth of it is, that after Adrien brought it up I started to think about Mia and her little family. I started to wonder about our future together. Although it's something we never did. We just live everyday like it's our last. But maybe I could see Adrien as a father. God knows I couldn't handle it, if that were with someone other than me. But I'm scared. Scratch that. Terrified. What if I'm not cut out to be a mother? I mean, look at my mom, and look at my life. Could I bring a child into this chaos? Is that fair? Or could I give up this life? The only thing I have ever known? The one thing that makes me feel like me? All these questions he has me thinking about, and I don't know the answer, to not one. So I bought myself a little time before I have to try and figure it out. But the look on Adrien's face won't be so easy to forget. But I hope he understands.

-Okay so I've already written the next chapter. I just have to go back and change a few things. But you'll be happy to know there is some Dotty fluff in there. So make sure you check back soon, and don't forget to leave a review and share what you think about the story so far.

p.s. I'm going to start adding Dom and Letty a little more. I feel like I'm neglecting them a bit.
