A/N: A lot of transaltion in this one. So let me know if it's confusing.

Chapter 9 is practically written so shoot me a review if you want it up in twenty-four hours!

"Mami!" Letty called out walking into the apartment. Ana was doing the dishes in the kitchen and speaking very loudly on the phone.

"Ay no loca, con los hombres de ahora no se puede -" (Girl, these men cannot be trusted. They're straight trifling.)

"Mami" Letty attempted to interrupt.

"Le pegó cuerno, y la dejo sin nada?" (He cheated and left her with nothing?)Ana gossiped with her friend as she continued to ignore Letty.

"Mami"

"Como pudo ella ser tan pendeja?" (How could she be so pathetic?)

"Mami!" Letty called from behind Ana.

"Escusame Carmen la hija mía lluego a joderme la vida." (Excuse me for a moment Carmen my daughter just got here and is annoying the shit out of me.)Ana turned around to angrily face Letty. "Niña de la porra tu no vez que estoy hablando por teléfono? Cuantas veces te tengo que decir que no me enterumpas cuando estoy hablando! Coño! Es que tu estas buscando pela?" (Do you not see me on the phone? How many times do I have to tell you to not interrupt me when I am speaking on the phone? God damn it! Are you looking for a beating?)

"Diantre pero ni pa tanto." (Damn, no need to get that mad. It's not that serious.)

"Quitateme del lado!" (Go away!)

"Esta bien!" (Fine!)

"Dios dame paciencia!" (God give me patience!) Ana exasperated before returning to the conversation she was having. "Halo? Carmen? Pues si como te decía, pero que barbaro! Que se atreva Lute hacerme algo asi porque te digo que lo mato." (Hello? Carmen? Anyway as I was saying, what an asshole! I dare Lute to do some shit like that because I will cut him.) Letty rolled her eyes at her mother's false threat and looked through the fridge for food. She later slumped on the couch while waiting for her mother to finish gossiping.

"Mami ya terminaste?" (Are you done yet?) Letty asked when she heard a small stretch of silence.

"Que quieres?" (What do you want?) Ana called out. Letty stood to walk into the kitchen and face her mother.

"Tengo algo que decirte." (I have something to tell you.)

"Que?" (What?)

"Me voy a mudar." (I'm moving.) Letty informed her.

"Ya yo te hable." (We already spoke about this.) Ana told her angrily.

"Ya lo hice." (I already did it.) Letty confessed.

"Que?" (What?) Ana exclaimed.

"Ya lo hice."(I already did it.)

"Cuando?" (When?)

"Ayer cuando estabas trabajando" (Yesterday when you were at work.)

"Leticia, no bromees conmigo porque te meto una galleta ahora mismo." (Leticia don't joke with me because I will smack the taste out of your mouth right this second!)

"Me vas a puegar? Pero estoy embarazada con tu nieto." (You're going to hit me? I'm pregnant with your grandchild.) Letty practically pleaded.

"Y?" (What's your point?) Ana said. Letty made a run for it and her mother followed. Pregnancy had made her slow, and Ana was able to easily catch up to her and tug Letty's arm. "Ven acá!" (Come here!)

"Mami no!" Letty squealed shielding her face. Ana moved to strike her, but did not.

"Tu crees que tu vas a poder a velar por ese muchacho sin me? Que sabes tu de criar niños?" (You think you can take care of that child without me? What do you know about raising children?)

"Mami, el apartamento no esta lejos de aqui. No piensas que yo debria de darle al niño una familia?" (Mami the apartment isn't far from here. Don't you think my child deserves a family?)

"Familia? Yo soy tu familia!" (A family? I'm your family!)

"Pero no es lo mismo. Dom quiere criar al bebé juntos. El no solo quiere ser un fuente de dinero. El quiere ser padre y le quiero dar la oprtunidad de hacerlo." (But it is not the same. Dom wants to raise the baby together. He doesn't want to be just a paycheck. He wants to be a father and I want to give him the opportunity to do it.)

"Siempre fuiste una ingrata. Todo lo que yo he echo por ti, y asi me tratas? No se te olvide quien te limpiaba la narga, buena desagradecida! Tu ni conoces a hece tipo!" (You've always been a little ingrate! After all I've done for you, this is how you treat me you little bitch? Don't forget who used to wipe your ass when you shit your pants. You don't even know him!)

"Hablas de como tu conocías a todos los hombres con cuales hemos vivido? Yo he estado con el por dos anos! Dos años! El no es cualquier hombre!" (You mean how you knew all the men we've lived with? I've been with Dom for two years. Two years! He's not just some guy!)

"Leticia no me faltes el respeto! Soy tu madre! Tu habuela me corrio de la casa. Yo hice lo que tenia que hacer para las dos!" (I am your mother! You will not disrespect me! I did what I had to do for the both of us when your grandmother kicked me out!)

"Mami, yo lo amo. El me ama, y queremos criar al niño juntos." (Mami, I love him. He loves me, and we want to raise this child together.)

"Te vas a ir asi nada mas, como si yo fuera un pedaso de mierda en la calle? Como si yo no importara?" (So you're just going to leave, as if I were just some piece of shit you step on on the sidewalk? As if I don't matter?)

"Mami no seas asi!" (Mami don't be this way!)

"El te va déjar. Todos los hacen y cuando el lo haga vas a venir aqui rogandome para que te ayude y no lo voy hacer!" (He's going to leave you. They all leave! When he does you're going to come here and beg me to help you and I wont!)

"Porque no puedes creer que alguien me pueda amar? Soy tan desechable que mi propia madre no tiene fe que valgo?" (Why is it so hard for you to believe that someone could love me? Am I so unworthy of it that my own mother doesn't believe I deserve it?) Letty asked teary-eyed. She had a tumultuous relationship with her mother, and at times honestly believed that Ana did not love.

"No digas estupideces!" (Don't be stupid!)

"Estas celosa!" (You're just jealous of me!)

"Que dijiste?" (What did you say?)

"Estas celosa porque el hombre que me embarazó me ama y no me dejó sola con un niño que no quería como Papi izo contigo!" (You're jealous because the man that got me pregnant loves me and didn't leave me alone with a child I never wanted like dad did with you!) Letty accused as tears stained her face.

"Callate!" (Shut up!) Ana said with a smoldering smack. "Tu no sabes lo que dices!" (You have no idea what you're talking about!)

"Te odio! Yo no quiero vivir contigo. Yo no quiero tenerte en mi vida." (I hate you! I don't want to live with you! I don't even want you in my life!)

"Pues largate de una vez entonces!" (Why don't you just get the fuck out then?)

"Con gusto! Y esta vez no vuelvo! No me busques!" (With pleasure! And this time I'm not coming back so don't try looking for me!) Letty spat out as she ran for the door.

"Leticia!" Ana yelled after her. Letty made it to her Torino Cobra, but was crying too hysterically to drive so she sat and wept for a long while before making her way to the new apartment she shared with Dom. When she arrived, he sat on the small couch they now shared watching television. She crept in quietly hoping she would not notice her, but the effort was futile.

"You have to see this shit. It's hilarious." He told her not looking up from the television screen.

"Yeah, in a minute." She said making her way to their room. Dom could tell from the sound of her voice she was upset. He promptly got up and followed her.

"Hey." He said softly tugging at her arm. Letty bowed her head, not wanting him to see her tear-stained face. "It was that bad?" He asked. Letty nodded her head vigorously in affirmation. "I'm sorry baby. She'll come around." Dom said pulling her into a long hug.

"I don't care if she does. She can just go fuck herself." Letty muttered.

"Don't say that. She's your mom." He told her.

"Only when she feels like it." Letty cried.

"You two will work it out. The kid's coming. She's not just gonna let you have a kid without her."

"She doesn't care about anyone, but herself. I don't want her in my life anymore. I'm beyond done."

"What did she say?"

"She said you'd leave me." Letty sobbed. "You wouldn't, right?"

"Never." Dom told her seriously. "I love you. I could not live with myself knowing I had a kid out in the world that didn't know who I was because I was too selfish to man up."

"Dom I don't think I can do it by myself." She confessed. "I tell myself I can, but I don't believe it."

"I promise you that I'll always be there to take care of my child." He said raising her chin and looking into her eyes. "And you too."

"I never had anyone care about me the way you do." Letty cried.

"I'm sure that's not true." Dom told her wiping her tears away.

"Before you, I would do really stupid shit just to get attention. It was the only time I didn't feel invisible. You're the only person that makes me feel like I matter, and it would really suck to know it was all a lie." Letty told him weepily.

"Let you mean everything to me. At first I thought I just really liked you because you were hot and bad, but then I got to know you and realized you were fucking incredible. No one rides like you. I never felt this way before. It's like I can't be without you, even when you piss me off. I'm probably fucking up what I'm trying to say, but I hope you get it." Dom told her. He was not one to be overly expressive about his emotions, and frankly neither was she. They were both very guarded people, but they understood each other perfectly with the simplest exchange of words.

"I get you. I'm not gonna lie the looks did it for me too, and you're car. God, I'm so vain! I really didn't want to like you, but I do." She confessed with a weak smile, and Dom leaned in to kiss softly. "I like you a lot, like A LOT."

"You like me a lot huh?" He asked her amused at her choice of words.

"I just had a fight over you with the woman who gave birth to me. I think that's proof enough." She told him feeling herself sadden once more.

"I love you so much baby." Dom whispered in her ear. "I know when the kid gets here I'll love it like I've never loved anyone."

"I really hope so." She said before their lips met again. "Can you just hold me for a little bit?" Letty asked him softly. She always felt safe and secure with Dom. It was a feeling she could not explain.

"Of course. I'll hold you forever." He told her affirmatively. Letty pressed against him harder. They laid in bed until Letty fell asleep in his arms. Dom watched her as she slept. He hated seeing her so upset, especially when it concerned him. He did not know what to do. She seemed so fragile in his arms. All he could be sure of was that he did not want to let her go.
