Chapter 9
"Hey Papi" Letty's hand rested protectively on the swell of her very pregnant belly. She caught Dom's eyes and held them; watching reality of her new physique hit him.
Dom stood half in, half out of the house with crushed pink roses all over the toes of his boots. Letty stared or was it glared at him from behind her shades. Her hair was pulled up exposing her shoulders and neck. He could tell from her stance that she was ready for a fight.
His eyes moved over the rest of her. Her bulging belly wasn't the only thing that had gotten bigger; Her breasts were definitely fuller. The tiny pink tank top she wore showed off every curve of her pregnancy-enhanced form. Most women covered up while pregnant but apparently not Letty. The bottom half of her belly was exposed revealing a belly button stretched flat.
Then it hit him. A sick feeling rose up in his throat. Just how pregnant was she? As far as he knew she wasn't pregnant when the last job went down. If he had known he never would have let her go but she never said anything. Surely she would have said something. Oh GOD! What if Letty had finally gotten back at him for screwing Tran's nympho-skank sister? The thought of Letty with another guy tore at his heart.
Dom continued to stand there dumbstruck. Letty watched the question come into his eyes like an ugly accusation and it pissed her off royally.
"Yes, you stupid Fuck! It's yours." She wanted to smash his face in or at least break something over that cue ball head of his.

Chapter 10
"Letty, I, uh, oh God..." It came out as a ragged whisper. Dom let Vince and Leon lead him over to the oversized recliner and he flopped down in it, glad for a soft spot to land. He'd never felt so out of control in all his life. Not when the last hijacking had gone sour. Not when he saw Jesse die on the sidewalk in front of his house. He was numb.
Letty took over. " Just shut the hell up, Dom. I've waited a long time for this. I'm not gonna go over it again so listen up. Yes, this baby is yours. Ours. I'm due in about 3 weeks although it could happen at any time really. So try NOT to piss me off."
"When? I mean how..." Dom's tongue and his brain weren't working in tandem.
"I'm sure you remember the how part. To answer the when; the night Bryan brought you home." Letty winced and rubbed at a spot on her abdomen. Baby Toretto was one hell of a kicker.
Yeah, Dom remembered the night all too well. His body tightened at the memory of the "massage" he had given Letty. Hell, he had obviously given her more than that that night.
"I didn't know until after the last job. When they checked me out at the hospital they ran a pregnancy test. That's standard procedure these days. Anyway, I walked out against medical advice with 3 cracked ribs, a dislocated shoulder and prenatal vitamins. It kinda changed my plans. I didn't know what to do so I went to Mia. I didn't know Bryan would be there."
Letty didn't have time to continue before all hell broke loose and Dom leapt onto Bryan trying to pound the shit out of him. "You arrested my pregnant girlfriend?" Dom shouted between punches. Leon and Vince tried to pull Dom off Bryan. Mia jumped on his back and grabbed hold of his ears. She screamed at him. "If you hit my husband one more time, Dom, I swear to..."
Dom stopped at the word "husband". So Spilner/O'Conner was family now. Mia would never forgive him if he turned Bryan into a half-witted high school janitor. He had to get control. He got off Bryan and Mia slipped off his back. He turned around and gave her a huge hug. Dom helped a bloody Bryan up from the floor. "Congratulations. Welcome to the family, Bro."
Well, that was a little unexpected. One minute Dom was beating the shit outta Bryan and the next they were practically planning were to have Christmas dinner. Everyone seemed a little shell-shocked. Including Letty. She was gripped by a particularly strong Braxton-Hicks. Letty gasped and doubled over slightly wincing at the wicked practice contraction. Dom was by her side instantly. Fear and concern etched on his handsome face. He was one his knees, one large hand on the small of her back, the other on the rise of Letty's stomach ready to help her stand up straight once the spasm passed. For some reason, Baby Toretto took that moment to make its presence known by kicking the spot where Dom's hand rested. That was all it took.
