Sorry it's kind of a short chapter. But something is better than nothing, right? Hopefully I'll have another chapter up tomorrow.
Mia's POV
Brian and Leon had been dragging Leah and I around all morning and I was starting to get a little irritated.
"Brian, I just want to go home. My feet hurt, my back hurts, and I just really want to sleep. Please?" I beg Brian to take me home.
"Yes. Please Le? Thank you guys for being so thoughtful, but if I don't get these shoes off in 5 minutes I'm going to scream." Leah says.
Leon looks to Brian, scared, a little unsure of himself, and guilty. Definitely guilty.
Leon then asks Brian if he wants to come over, that he just got in a new part for a car he'd been working on at the house, and swore it would only take a minute. By now I'm ready to strangle both men with my bare hands.
We pulled up to Leon's house with me and Leah fuming. But I take a minute to look around and there's pink balloons and parked cars everywhere.
"What is all this?" I ask my anger seeming to melt away.
"Come on ladies. Your guest's are expecting you." Brian says extending his hand to help me out of the car. Leon does that same for Leah.
Great. I can already feel my mommy hormones acting up as tears start to fill my eyes.
We make our way out back and are greeted with our family and friends. All are smiling on their feet clapping at our arrival.
And that's when I lose all control and the flood gates open. Ugh I can already predict how all the pictures are gonna come out. Everyone else looking great and "look there goes ol' Mia with her raccoon eyes". Get it together Mi. You got this. Stop Crying and enjoy yourself. I wipe my eyes and hold my chin up and walk in.
It takes me about 20 minutes to greet all of the friends but I finally manage to make myself a large plate of food and make it over to the table were the families sitting.
"Oh it feels good to be off my feet." My feet are tingling with relief.
"Umm Mi? Didn't you just come back from breakfast?" Letty asks eyebrow raised and eyeing my mountain of food.
"When your body decides that it is ready to go through what some call the miracle of life, and starts making a tiny human, which you will inevitably have to squeeze out of you. Literally like the size of a cantaloupe out of the size of a damn donut. Then you can start lecturing me on my food intake. Until then…let me eat. Now does anyone else feel like poking mama bear today?" I look around to see everyone shaking their head "No?…Okay then…Whew."
Everyone starts to laugh. We begin to make small talk but them something catches my eye from across the table and before I can keep it to myself it slips out.
"Elena is that a ring?" her eyes bulge and she looks to Hobbs.
Everyone's eyes follow.
"Thanks Mia." Hobbs says clearing his throat awkwardly. "Ughh Yea it is. I asked Elena to marry me and she said yes."
We all give our congratulations, extremely joyful for the two agents. Surprisingly, or maybe unsurprising, Dom looks genuinely happy for the couple.
"Hold on. Wait a minute…when did ya'll start dating?" Tej asks.
"A couple weeks after Shaw" Elena answers.
"He use that baby oil on you, don't he?" Roman jokes miming a smacking motion. The group again breaks out in laughter.
"I'm bout to use my boot on that ass in a minute." Hobbs retorts.
"I was just joking. Damn, nobody knows how to take a joke." Rome mutters under his breathe turning back to nurse the beer in his hand.
The rest of the evening goes by smoothly. We play games, and open gifts, and before we know it the party is over, and Brian is finishing loading the van with the gifts as we prepare to go pick up jack from the sitters.
Dom's POV
"So Elena and Hobbs? You okay with that?" I look up taking my shoes off.
"Yea. Why?"
"Cause I know that when I was gone you…I don't blame you. You thought I was dead, but you guys did…"
"Letty. I love you. I have never said that to another woman. I cared for Elena at the time. But to be brutally honest, I never loved her. I couldn't. She was just someone who understood what I was going through, and was there. I'm glad she's finally moved on." Which was true I never did or could bring myself to feel for Elena the way I did for Letty. Let is such a part of who I am, and I appreciate Elena for what she did for me. She kept me alive and able to feel again. So when I was able to bring Letty back she was coming back to a healthy loving husband.
"I'm just glad Hobbs found someone to love his grumpy ass."
"Ha-ha, Come on. I'm tired. Let's get some shut eye." I wave letty over, making my way up the stairs.
"You're gonna have to carry me Papa."
I raise an eyebrow.
"You owe me remember? And a foot rub."
I couldn't argue I did owe her. So I stride up to her and hitch her on my back "You know, you're lucky I love you."
"I like to think you're the lucky one." she teased kissing my bald head.
Thanks so much for reading:) Leave me a review or PM letting me know what you thought.
