Chapter 15
Mia led Letty into the large room at the end of the hall. Dom's room. Upon entering they found Letty's bags at the foot of the huge bed. They also found the room to be completely not the pigsty they had expected. The room was warm and inviting. Tidy! The candles that Letty liked were scattered over every level surface in the room. Dom had gone that extra mile to make her feel at home.
Mia was right, after Letty calmed down she was pissed. Royally Pissed! Mia watched as Letty emptied her clothes out of her bags and put then in the drawers Dom had cleared out for her. She practically threw the clothing.
"He'd better get his ass in gear and get ready to testify! Stupid jerk! Everything is being handed to him on a silver platter and I swear, Mia, if he can't, if he wont do it. I'm NOT staying HERE! Letty's voice broke. She was on the verge of tears again. Damn fuckin hormones!! Letty took a deep breath. Three more weeks and the baby would be here. Just three more weeks. Maybe less. Her back hurt and she was bone tired.
"Mia, thanks for being here for me. I don't know what I'd do with you." Letty hugged Mia and yawned.
"Girl, you and the peanut need to get some sleep. You know its not good to get all worked up. Everything is gonna be OK." Mia turned to leave. Before she reached the door she heard Letty...
"Tell Dom he's been couched." Letty's voice was quiet. Mia knew she didn't want to be without Dom. But she also understood that Letty was fighting for her family and that family included Dom.
"You making him work for it?" Mia cocked her eye at Letty. It was an old joke and both women giggled. "Goodnight, Letty." Mia closed the door.
And bumped into the wall of her brother's chest. "Where you think your going?" She asked in her best smart-ass tone.
From the look on her face, Dom could tell there would be no getting near Letty tonight. Yup, the look on Mia's face said it all. He'd be sleeping on the couch.

Chapter 16
The rest of them turned in about 1 am. They had sat around talking and doing little nit picky things to bug the shit out of each other. It took Dom's mind of Letty for a little while. They had all ended up in a dog pile in the floor in front of the fireplace. Tables were knocked over, cushions pulled off the couch, and a lamp got broken but they laughed till their sides ached and tears streamed down their faces. It was just like old times only instead of ending the night rolling around naked and sweaty with Letty; Dom was alone on the couch.
It was a long night. Sleep refused to come for Dom. He couldn't get comfortable on the couch. His feet hung well over the far arm and the cushions were nowhere near as soft as the pillows on or the woman in his bed.
From the living room Dom could hear V. and Leon snoring like chainsaws. They took turns, first one and then the other. How could they sleep through that racket? Twice he heard Bryan and Mia getting it on. It had pissed him off! Damn it, you don't come into a man's house and fuck his sister!! Unless that man's sister happens to be your wife which Dom finally remembered right before he was about to get off the couch to go pound Bryan. He didn't think Mia would appreciate it if Bryan got another black eye courtesy of his fists.
He lay there in his jeans. The leather couch was sticking to his bare back. Thank God for central heat and air! At least he was cool. He retraced the events of the past day. Mia showing up with Bryan in tow had been a shock but seeing Letty knocked-up-out-to-there pregnant had been...well, amazing. He had never imagined his tough little Letty pregnant. She knew engines and body work not babies. Hell, he didn't thing she had ever even owned a doll! It had always been cars for Letty. Cars and him. Only him...
