Small time jump and more Dotty:) Oh and before we get started, just in case this seems a little far fetched just know I have witnessed situations very similar to this. Except those weren't handled as well. Anyways, carry on.
Third person POV
For the next three weeks everyone worked in the garage getting to know each other all over again. Most were really impressed with how the other had turned out, given the complexity of their lives. Nat had finally started to let go of some of her anger that she had been struggling with. Sometimes she felt like she was drowning in a sea of her own emotions, but other days she barely thought about it.
Dom and Adrien actually started to get along. Although the tension wasn't quite cleared, they realized that the other wasn't so bad. They both had a common goal. To keep the ones they loved safe.
Day Before the baby shower
Letty's POV
"Okay Dom, what about this?" I ask holding up a random baby item I grabbed off of the shelf.
"What is it?" he asks grabbing the box to inspect it. "Okay…yea this'll be good. It's a baby monitor with a built in camera and screen. so they can keep an eye on the baby…see Let you're a natural."
"Yea. It's a real talent grabbing the first thing off a shelf." I tease rolling my eyes.
"Alright, now Leah's turn. Do you know what she's having?"
I try thinking back to a conversation I had with Leon last week. But considering I haven't spent too much time with Leah except at the barbeque last month I have no idea what gender the baby is. I feel like a bad friend but there's just been a lot going on.
"I'll call Nat. Maybe she knows." I walk a few feet away and dial. I watch as Dom gets a couple looks from the women around the store. I roll me eyes as Nat answers
"Hey…quick question. Do you know if it's a girl or boy…no Leah's…girl?...Okay thanks…see you tomorrow…kay bye." I hang up the phone when one of the women gets bold enough to make her way over to Dom. I sit back to watch to see what happens next.
I watch as she feigns distress attempting to reach something on the top shelf. When she realizes Dom notices she politely asks him for help. And being the great guy he is, he does. And that's when she makes her move.
"Oh thank you. You really didn't have to do that for me." she says batting her false eye lashes. Dom looks amused and decides to indulge in the girls antics.
"Sure, it's not a problem."
"So. What brings you to Babies' R Us?" she asks, twirling a piece of hair around her finger.
"Uhh baby shower gift." he replies, holding up a random item off the shelf pretending to read the back label.
"That's so sweet. You have any kids of your own?"
"No. ha-ha… you?"
"No. My sisters on her third. She asked me to come pick up some diapers for her. But this will only take a couple of minutes if you wanted to ask me out for a drink or something." as I hear that, I'm ready to put an end to whatever this bitch thinks she's just started with my husband. Doubting Dom will take the initiative him being a pathological flirt.
I stride up to them and make my presence well known.
"Hey, you ready to go?" and the look on both of their faces is priceless. I think Dom is in more shock that I have managed to keep myself calm, rather than turning to threats and intimidation for the first time in my life. But the girl, instantly gives me daggers and looks me up and down. Then plasters on a fake smile looking to Dom for an explanation.
I look to Dom to assess his reaction and waiting for him to inform her of our status. But Dom has an amused smirk on his lips, clearly waiting to see how I handle the situation.
"I'm his girlfriend." I told her smirking right back and looking at Dom, knowing how upset he gets altering our title.
"She means wife." I feel his hand apply slight pressure to my side, pulling me in closer with a dumb smile on his face. He truly enjoys telling people that.
With big shocked and slightly furious eyes the young girl practically screams, "Wife? You never said you were married."
This grabbed Dom's attention. Taking his focus from me, to the crazed woman in front of us.
"Well you didn't ask and I never said I wasn't married."
"Ugh really her? Why?" she asked looking me up and down her face full of disgust. "I mean you didn't exactly take pride in the fact that you were married. How do you expect me to believe that this isn't just a front for your "wife" and that had she not been her you wouldn't have taken me up on my offer?"
Dom and I looked at each other smiling. This girl brought back so many memories from our teenage years. When we had to defend our relationship, more often than once. Without taking his eyes off of me and holding me close he says, "I could stand her and tell you all the reasons why I am completely in love with this woman right here. How she runs through my mind all day. Why I'm so lucky she chose me. But that would take all day and we have plans. and I'm sure your sister will be waiting for those diapers."
Something must have really snapped in her, because she just stared and I thought she was going to cry but what happened next was a total surprise.
"You really do love her, don't you?" her eyes softened a bit.
"I do." he answered
"Look, I'm sorry. I guess, I'm really used to men falling at my feet and getting what I want, but I know a lost cause when I see one. Hold on to him. He's one of the good ones. Some women aren't so lucky. Believe me, I would know." I nodded in agreement and she left.
"That was interesting."
"What was?" he's really trying to play it like nothing happened.
"Who Is this? The Dom I know, would've took that number just to know he could."
And there he was still looking at me and not even defending himself at my playful comment.
"Okay what?" I finally ask annoyed, and slightly turned on, by the way his eyes are glued to mine.
"I never thought I'd see the day Leticia Toretto didn't resort to violence."
I elbowed him in the ribs, making him take in a sharpened breath. I walk away, pushing the cart down the aisle to grab a gift for Leah.
"That's my girl" I heard him shout after me, hunched over hand cradling his now sore ribs.
-That's it for this chapter. Let me know how you liked it. By the way, any feed back on the OC's would be great not sure if they're a hit or not, and I'm debating whether or not to keep them around.
Also let me know if you are liking the Dotty situation or if I should kick it up a notch or if I should add more fluff. Thanks for reading:)
