After the Doctors
Letty's POV
I could have kicked myself as I thought how obvious I was being. I knew I wouldn't be able to hide it forever but I wasn't ready for anyone else to know just yet. I made the appointment with a doctor and I left in a hurry not wanting to be subjected to another round of twenty questions. I only booked the appointment to make sure everything was okay and to know where to go from here next.
The doctor's visit was over quicker than I expected. Everything was fine, my bloods had been taken and I had been sent on my way with an all to chipper reminder about taking care of myself. As I was walking towards my car I ran straight into someone. The person caught me before I fell, my hand immediately going to my stomach on instinct.
"Hey watch it." I growled looking at the person I had collided with.
"Sorry miss I didn't- Letty?" I looked up confused at the person. My eyes narrowed and my mouth turned into a sneer as I recognized the person.
"Spinnler, or should I say O'Connor?" I snapped removing myself from his grip roughly.
"Letty I'm-"
"Save it I'm not interested."
"Letty come on let me explain." He called as I stormed off.
"Like I said I'm not interested." I yelled before I jumped in my car and took off back home.
I made a mental note not to say anything to Mia about seeing Brian. He was not welcome as far as I was concerned. He'd fucked us all over.
Getting home I walked in noting Mia was nowhere to be found. There as a note in the kitchen from her though saying she had a class and would be back late tonight. Sighing I looked around the empty house. It felt so big and lonely. I didn't understand how Mia could cope being here by herself. The outside shed caught my attention. Unlocking the back door I walked out and opened the shed. My breath caught as I saw the pile of twisted metal sitting in the shed. Dom had been lucky to get out of that with only a dislocated arm. Sneering at thought of him I pushed the thought away.
Walking around the remains of the car I thought about repairing it. It was such a beautiful car, too good to just throw away for scrap metal. Making my decision I started to get to work.
"Letty?" Mia called out.
"You're home." I said startled. Judging by the darkness outside I hadn't realised how much time had passed by.
"What are you doing in here?" She asked looking around at the scattered car parts I had managed to salvage.
"I'm going to rebuild it. I need something to do." I said softly.
"Letty it's a curse, I was going to chuck it."
"No. Mia you can't it was your dad's." I argued.
"Letty it killed him and it nearly killed Dom. I don't want the thing." She argued back.
"Please, just let me rebuild her." I begged.
"It's not going to bring him back Let." She said softly. I stayed quiet and stared her down watching as she sighed. She turned her head away for a moment before she turned back to me.
"Have you eaten today?" She asked suddenly. I took that to mean I had won the short argument and the car was staying.
"Not since lunch."
"Come on I'll make dinner."
"Okay." I sighed as I stood shutting the garage behind me for the night.
"Everything go okay at the doctors?" She asked prying for information.
"Everything's fine. I'm all healed." I stated.
"That's great." She gave me a small smile but I knew she didn't believe me.
Lying awake in bed that night unable to sleep, all the thoughts I didn't want to think about resurfaced. I couldn't help but wonder where Dom was and if he was okay. I was angry and I was hurt but the love I had for him was still the same. Unable to sleep I got up and padded downstairs. It was late in the night but I found myself padding out to the garage to continue working.
I was still in the same place when Mia found me the next morning.
"Letty? Have you been here all night?" She demanded and I shrugged.
"I couldn't sleep." I said.
"Letty." She groaned.
8th July- LA, United states
Toretto house
The days past by slowly, at least to me after I arrived in LA. I spent my days and most night in the shed working. Mia would always come and pull me out for meals, which I was thankful for. By the end of my first week back though my appetite had changed and I no longer needed persuading to come to meals. I felt like I was eating constantly and by the looks Mia was giving me I knew she suspected something.
Despite my eating my morning sickness still continued, much to my annoyance. Every morning without fail and if I caught the smell of coffee or eggs I would be running for the bathroom. Cheese became my new best friend, I craved it-constantly. I hated the stuff with a passion but it was all I wanted. It was a dead giveaway but if Mia knew or at the very least suspected what was wrong she never said anything.
My mood swung from one extreme to the next but because of her busy schedule she wasn't here to witness much of those and for that I was glad. I took my frustrations and anger out on the car. It was coming together slowly. It needed a lot of work but it was a start.
Despite my new found appetite and moodiness, my anger and sadness towards Dom was at an all new level. I found myself missing him more than I ever thought possible. All I wanted was him to be by my side. When I was angry I put it down to my hormones but when I was sad I knew it was me really missing him. I couldn't function. In front of Mia I tried but I had found myself in a circle that wouldn't stop. I could barely sleep; I'd eat, throw up and work on the car. That was my life.
I knew Mia was worried and to be honest even I knew it wasn't a healthy thing to be doing but I couldn't stop.
Waking up this morning I found myself in a particularly bad mood for no apparent reason. Going through my usual routine I huffed in annoyance when I found my clothes weren't as loose as what they used to be.
"You have got to be kidding me." I muttered as I once again failed to button up my skinny jeans. Sighing I pulled them off instead going for a pair of loose shorts. They fit better and I pulled a loose T-shirt over my tight singlet top. I didn't have a bump I just looked bloated. Feeling slightly better about my appearance I went down to the kitchen. Mia was already cooking up a storm and I grabbed a plate of waffles off her as I sat down.
"Morning." She said happily.
"Morning." I muttered.
"What's wrong with you?" She quizzed.
"Nothing Mia, just tired." I lied.
"I'll pretend I believe that." She spoke as she sat opposite me and started to eat.
The phone rang just as she placed her first mouthful in her mouth. Sighing I got up and got the phone as she sent me a grateful smile.
"Hello?" I answered.
"Hey." I froze as I heard the voice on the other end of the line. Mia seemed to note my reaction and tilted her head to the side.
"What do you want?" I ground out ignoring the look of realization that crossed Mia's face.
"I know you're mad, you have every right to be but I just wanted to make sure you're both okay."
"Fine." I muttered. I listened as he sighed over the phone.
"Are you eating right?"
"Fine." I said again keeping my emotions in check.
"And everything's okay with you and our baby? You've been to see a doctor right?" He asked worriedly.
"Dom I'm fine, no thanks to you. Here's Mia." I stated aggressively before I passed Mia the phone and left the room.
"Dom?" Mia's question was the last thing I heard before I was out of ear shot. I took a couple of deep breaths as I calmed down. I couldn't believe after everything he had done he was calling to check up on me. He hadn't cared when he left me in the DR, he had no right to now. At least that's what I wanted to think. Truth be told I missed the bastard like crazy.
An idea suddenly entered my mind and I frowned. Passing the idea over and over in my mind I decided it needed to happen. I needed Dom home. As much as I hated his sorry arse right now I knew I couldn't do this with anyone but him. Grabbing my keys I walked out the front door and got into my car heading for the only place I thought I'd find O'Connor. He owed us.
