A/N: Thanks for the reviews! You guys are the best! Hope enjoy the chapter...

"I can't believe we're actually doing this." Letty complained as she ate her ice cream.

"I can't believe you're still eating." Dom countered.

"It's ice cream. This isn't food."

"Tell that to the carton you just wolfed down."

"Like you didn't eat from it." She argued.

"I had two spoonfuls. The thing is empty."

"You mad or something?"

"Just don't act all innocent so that later you're not yelling at me about how I let you eat shit because at the end of the day I'm damned if I do and damned if I don't."

"Just shut up." Letty snapped, and she reclined in the passenger seat.

"You see..." Dom pointed out.

"Dominic..." Letty told him in a warning tone. She was undoubtedly irritable that day due to the lack of sleep the night before. Their son had become more active in the womb and would sometimes get into painful positions.

"Don't Dominic me. I hate when you do that."

"So help me God if you don't stop talking I will flick you so hard."

"I don't even want to take the God damn pictures anymore." Dom muttered.

"Good! I didn't want to in the first place." Letty exasperated. "Why are we still going?"

"We're taking the stupid pictures." Dom asserted.

"You just said you didn't want to anymore."

"I'm gonna want them later when I'm no longer annoyed with you."

"This is so dumb. Can't we just take them when he's here?" She complained rolling her eyes.

"I want a before and after." He told her and she glared at him in annoyance.

"I can't stand you."

"The feeling is mutual." Dom retaliated. Letty went to flick his ear, but he caught her hand before she could while he continued to drive with the other. "Don't push your luck babe." He warned.

"I ain't scared of you."

"Well you should be." He threatened.

"You ain't gonna do shit." She taunted.

"Wanna bet? I'll pull this car over right now."

"Pfft, do it. It's not like I'm trying to make this appointment anyway." She dismissed snapping her head to the side with heavy attitude.

"Why don't you stop running your mouth?"

"Oh I'm so scared." Letty mocked deepening her voice.

"You're so lucky you're pregnant right now."

"Oh really?"

"Yes, now get out. We're here." He said stopping the car.

"But I don't want to!" She whined. "Who takes pregnancy portraits anyway? This is beyond cheesy. What will this poor child think of us?"

"That he's part of a happy family that fucking loves each other!" Dom growled in frustration, and Letty gave him a look of annoyance. "Now get the out of the car!"

"Urg!" She exasperated, as he walked around to open her door.

"Come on. Get out." Dom urged.

"A little help please." Letty demanded holding her arms out. Sitting down and getting back up had become quite the strenuous task for her. Walking itself grew difficult, and caused her to waddle and lose her balance. Dom helped steady her so that they could go inside. "This is the place?"

"Yeah."

"This doesn't look like no studio to me."

"They're discrete." He told her.

"This is so stupid."

"Letty I swear to God. If you say one more thing..."

"What? What are you gonna do?"

"Just walk. Go!"

"I thought so." She said moving forward. They walked into the building and made their way to the front desk.

"Toretto." Letty told the representative dryly.

"Oh yes, we've been waiting for you."

"Great." She said sarcastically as the young man moved around the desk to guide them where they needed to go.

"Behave." Dom told her warningly as they followed the man. He waited for them in front of a large door down the hall and when he pulled it open Letty was met with an overwhelming, "Surprise!"

"What the fuck?" She said to herself as she looked at all the familiar faces before her. "They can't all be here for the stupid photos." She told Dom as the guests clapped and cheered.

"No shit Sherlock." He said with a laugh.

"But then…" Letty asked in confusion. However, she soon saw the baby decorations that filled the small hall, and the massive blue cake at the center of it all.

"So I take it you are surprised?" Mia asked with a grin as Letty continued to stand in shock.

"Uh, you can say that. What is all this?"

"Your baby shower, duh."

"Oh wow" Letty said as many people began to come and greet her with hugs.

"You should have seen the look on your face." Simone told her as she reached to hug her. "Hold up. Are you crying?"

"No. I don't do that shit." Letty sniffled. "I have allergies."

"A-ha! You're def crying." She teased.

"Aww, leave her alone." Mia told Simone with a smile.

"Damn who knew she had tears." Vince said bring Letty into a hug.

"That's what I said." Dom chuckled.

"Urg! Shut up!" Letty said wiping a tear away.

"I without question got you guys the best present out of everyone in this bitch." Vince told her with a large smile.

"Do you mind? She has other friends too you know." Letty's friend Mercedes said pushing Vince aside and making her way to her. "Hey, girl how's it going?"

"'Cede you're here too?"

"I think everyone and their mom is here." She said with a laugh. Letty took a moment to look around hopeful that one of those 'moms' was her own, but she had no such luck.

"Thank you for coming." Letty told her softly.

"Of course, and by the way I got you the best present."

"Did your sugar daddy buy it for you?"

"Stop calling him that!" Mercedes hissed. "I'll have you know I picked it out and bought it all by myself. So you better fucking like it because I lost the receipt. It is a boy right?" She asked warily.

Letty laughed at her friend. "Yes, it is." She answered rubbing her large belly endearingly.

"I'm the godmother right?"

"Excuse you?" Simone asked Mercedes incredulously.

"I should be godmother. I'm his aunt." Mia argued.

"Say what now?" Simone exclaimed. "Oh hell nah! If anyone is gonna be godmother it's me."

"Uhh..." Letty said looking nervously between her friends.

"I choose who's godmother, so the three of you can just back the fuck up." Dom told them.

"Boy please." Simone said rolling her eyes.

"Whatever, everybody knows I'd hook that kid right up. Ain't nobody got connections like me." Mercedes commented. "Remember that."

"Guys you're holding up the line." Mia told them.

"You're sneaky. Don't think we don't know that." Simone told Mia before turning her attention to Letty. "Don't let her manipulate you. Make the right decision and choose me."

"Guys we'll talk about this later." Letty said fending her friends off. Simone and Mercedes continued to argue as she went on to greet the rest of her guests. People ranged from all aspects of her life whether it be people from the neighborhood, the garage, or the races, such as Hector and Edwin. She had no idea so many people would have gone through so much trouble for her. "I just want to thank all of you for coming. It means so much to me that you would all do this, even if it was behind my back. The last seven months haven't been easy, but all your support has truly made it one of the best experiences of my life." She told them tearfully, and they all 'awwed'. "Oh shut up!" She told them all before turning to Dom who also shared a few words.

"Um, thanks to all of you who helped put this together for my girl. I can tell she really liked it. You made her cry. I thought I was the only one who could do that."

"Will you all just let it go! God!" She told him, and he chuckled in midst of his speech.

"It's been really crazy, but your advice and help have really meant a lot, so thanks for being a part of our family." He told them raising his beer in a toast. "To Bobbles."

"To Bobbles." The crowd responded lifting their drinks. Letty almost snorted out her water. Not many knew of their petname for their son since they had yet to settle on a name. They sat her down in her large ornamental chair and took reams of photos with her. Letty was smiling so much her cheeks began to hurt. She watched on as her friends played several comedic games. Her favorite had been one in which pairs had to place adult diapers on their partners, and feed them a baby bottle full of soda in hope of a prize. Many of their friends were competitive, and therefore such activities guaranteed a hilarious result.

"Ok the next game will consist of guessing which candy bar is in which diaper." Mia announced.

"God that looks nasty." Letty commented as she saw the dirty diapers.

"It's just chocolate." Mia assured before turning her attention back to the competitors. "The winner gets this coupon for a free paint job at our garage!" Needless to say most of the boys were more than enthused at the thought of such a costly luxury, but it was Mercedes who took the prize.

"Yes! That's right. That's right. I'm the best. You all can just suck it." She boasted to her opponents while waving her coupon in their faces.

"Don't forget ma that I know where you live." Hector falsely threatened.

"I know where you live. So shut the fuck up."

"I think it's time we opened some presents." Mia mediated.

"All of them?" Letty asked warily looking at the large pile by her side. There were so many that she did not know where to begin.

"Of course, pick mine first!" Vince told her. Letty went to grab the large box and unwrapped it like a child on Christmas day.

"Oh my God!" Letty said excitedly. "V where the hell did you find this?" She asked looking at the baby bouncer that was in the shape of a small vintage car.

"I know a few people."

"I love it!"

"Open mine! Open mine!" Simone told her. Her gift was smaller, and Letty looked confused at the large black bag in her hands.

"A purse?"

"It's not just a purse. It's the ultimate diaper bag, it turns into a changing mat and has a pocket for everything the baby needs on the go. It comes with a starter kit of diapers, a bottle, and other shit. Look inside." Simone told Letty and she obliged.

"Simmy you got him little baby Jordans? Oh my God that's so freakin cute!" Letty squealed.

"Look at the onesie." Simone told her, and she pulled out the black onesie with white lettering that resembled the The Godfather logo, but instead read, The Godmother. Letty laughed as she read it and placed it back in the heavily accessorized bag.

"I think I get the hint." Letty said smiling at her best friend and placed the gift beside her.

"If you know what's good for you, you'll make the right decision."

"Oh God" Letty said rolling her eyes and continued to open gifts. She had been given several boxes of diapers, a three in one baby food processor, bottle heater, breast pump, specialized baby monitors, boy themed baby clothes and bedding, as well as bottles, grooming supplies, and more. She was joyfully overwhelmed with the gifts she had been given and the thought everyone had put into all of them. She thanked them all, and the guests retreated back to their food and danced.

"Dom can you help me up?" She asked him holding her arms out. "I have to pee again."

"I'm about to get you a catheter." He mocked pulling her out of her chair.

"Very funny. It isn't my fault your son is pushing on my bladder. You put him there. So this is on you." Letty said as she waddled away. When she left the bathroom she saw a familiar car in the parking lot and hurriedly walked towards it while she attempted not to lose her balance. "Mami?" Ana looked up at her but quickly turned away. She turned on her ignition, but Letty tapped on the driver's window until Ana pulled it down. "Mami que haces aqui?" (What are you doing here?)

"CometĂ­ un error venir. Ya me voy." (I made a mistake in coming here. I'm leaving.) She said sharply.

"Porque?" (Why?) Letty asked softly.

"Toma." (Here) Ana said handing her a wrapped gift.

"Que es?" (What is it?)

"Abrelo cuando tengas tiempo", (Open it when you have time.) was all she said before driving away. Letty stood in the middle of the parking lot curiously looking at the gift in her hand.

"Letty!" She heard Dom's voice from afar. "What the hell are you doing out here? I thought someone flushed you down the toilet."

"My mom came." She murmured quietly.

"Really?"

"Yeah." She said holding her gift to her chest.

"She bring you that?"

"Yeah"

"What is it?"

"I don't know." Letty said reveling in the gesture.

"Maybe we should go back inside Let." He suggested as he watched her continue to stand perplexedly. Her baby shower had turned into a full blown party by the end of that night. There were guests who had not made it until late, Tony being one of them. Unfortunately fatigue settled in and she and Dom decided to call it a night before it was over.

When they went back to the apartment Dom unloaded all their baby gifts into the small nursery they had nearly finished. Letty sat on their bed and unwrapped her mother's gift, and was stunned to see it was her own baby blanket her mother usually kept in a box with all her other infant possessions. With it was a picture of Ana holding Letty while she was wrapped in it. She brought the small blanket up to her nose. It smelled like home, and it was oddly comforting.

"Is that what she gave you?" He asked when he saw her hold the blanket close to her.

"Yeah." Letty said softly.

"It's nice." He said taking the picture next to her. "Damn, you look more like her than I thought. You could be twins in this picture."

"She had just turned sixteen." Letty noted with a sad pensive smile. "I think I get her more now."

"Yeah?"

"She was younger than me and had to do it all alone without knowing English. I can't imagine what that's like. At least I finished high school, and have you. The baby shower alone was crazy. She never had any of that."

"I get that. So are you guys cool now?"

"I don't know. We didn't really talk."

"She just gave you the blanket and left?"

"Yup. At least now I know she cares. You know?" Letty said gripping the baby blanket.

"Of course she cares. She's your mom."

"You weren't there for our fight. Did you tell her about the baby shower? It didn't make sense that she would show up out of the blue."

"I just wanted everyone who was important to you to be there." He told her. She leaned down to kiss him tenderly.

"Thank you baby. I really liked the party."

"I didn't do shit. The girls did all of it. I just agreed to get you there."

"Still, you've been so great about everything. I really appreciate it." Letty told him caressing his cheek.

"I'm just doing what I'm suppose to do. Well not everything. I still gotta stop doing illegal shit. That's just a bad example for the kid."

"He don't gotta know. Besides, that's what bought him his new crib."

"When do kids start talking?" Dom asked.

"One, two I don't know." Letty responded with a shrug.

"Ok, that's when I'll quit."

"You're right. We really gotta find some legal alternatives because we all know once I pop this kid out I'm going to want to do some things." Letty confessed. Dom laughed at her statement. She had been itching for an adrenaline rush, but her pregnancy stood in the way.

"We could go legit like Pops."

"But it's not as fun."

"Let, the kid can't have one or both of us in jail. That would fuck him up."

"Urg, I guess." She said rubbing her belly. "I hope your happy in there. I'm gonna guilt trip the shit out of Bobbles."

"I bet you will." Dom said with a laugh.

"This has to be love because I wouldn't give up all this shit just for anybody. Fuck, I gotta stop swearing. Damn, I did it again. I mean darn. This is hard."

"Yeah, we don't wanna be those parents with inappropriate children."

"I can't promise that won't happen." Letty snickered.

"Me neither"

"Tony swears a lot though." Letty pointed out.

"Yeah, but he'd always smack me over the mouth whenever I said bad words. I knew when and when not to do it. That's a skill our kid needs to know."

"Oh my God. My poor baby, I'm sorry we can't be better." Letty said rubbing her stomach sweetly.

"Holy shit, did you see that?" Dom asked her as her belly took an odd shape.

"Yeah I think it's his back. He's facing me. He moves so much. I think it's gonna be weird once he's out."

"Move again." Dom told the baby and he actually responded. "I think he recognizes my voice." Dom said excitedly.

"Let's hope so because we wouldn't want to scare the kid with your deepass voice."

"It ain't that deep."

"It ain't that deep? You've made children cry before." Letty pointed out with a laugh.

"Whatever, I'm gonna go shower." He told her getting up from the bed.

"You know it's true!" She laughed.
