27th August- Tijuana, Mexico
Safe house
Letty's POV
It had been a long months or so. I had suffered through my injuries but I was far from healed. I had cuts and bruising that still had yet to fade. The few scars that littered my back reminded me of my past every day and I struggled with it. Then there was the psychological and emotional struggle that I was going through. That I didn't think would ever heal. Leon and Charlotte had been great and supportive but at the same time I hated being treated like I was going to break.
There was only one thing that I held onto and had become a positive thing in my entire screwed up life- my baby. My baby had somehow lived and I was more than thankful for it every day. I knew I had shut myself off to Leon and Lotty, I tried to hold them at arm's length but they made it hard. I needed them. At the same time though I knew I had entered down a very dark road. At the beginning Leon had tried to convince me on more than one occasion to get in touch with Dom but I couldn't. I couldn't bring myself to be that pathetic girl again. From now on I knew I was on my own, but at least with Leon and Lotty for help when I needed it. Based on my current situation, in the coming months I knew I was going to need it.
None of us had any clue on how to raise a baby but I knew it was something that would hopefully come to me in time. I just knew I vowed to protect my baby from everything I had been put through. He or she would never know suffering.
Hearing a click I looked up and frowned at Leon who was holding up a camera, having taken a picture of me. I half glared at him as he grinned.
"Sorry I couldn't resist." He said shrugging as he took another while I managed a small smile.
"I miss seeing that." He said softly and I looked at him confused for a moment.
"What?"
"You're smile. How's our baby?" He asked enjoying the small joke he and Lotty had going on.
"Fluttering around." I said quietly with a small smile.
"When you gunna kick so uncle Leon can feel huh?" I laughed a little as Leon's hand slid across my small round stomach.
"I don't wish it anytime soon Le, I'm still sore." I muttered as he pulled me into his side, his hand naturally resting on my bump. This was the normal for us, even with Lotty here, I felt safe cuddled up to Leon. Maybe it was because he had always been there for me or maybe it was just my baby hormones going crazy.
"I know. How are you doing baby girl?"
"Alright, I guess it'll just take time." I said sighing.
"Yeah it will, but Lotty and I are gunna be here every step of the way with you that I promise." I stayed silent. After all the drama with Dom promises meant nothing to me anymore. Anything that was 'promised' had to be proven to me, I no longer trusted peoples words. Lotty said that could work as a good thing, but Leon wasn't as convinced. Hearing Leon's words and knowing he's always been there, I believed him.
"Thank you for everything Le." I whispered.
"You don't have to thank me for anything Let. I'll always be here."
"I know."

Surveillance on the Toretto house
Lotty's POV
I sat in a blacked out car as I watched O'Connor and Toretto work on a car in the garage. It was night time, I had the passenger window down as I snapped away on the camera. Silently I wondered what the hell they were doing, especially together. After everything I had heard about Toretto and O'Connor's past I was a bit suspicious about why they were working together. Of course I had my suspicions as to why they were working together. My first guess was to take down Braga and if that was the case I hoped to god they killed the son of the bitch that had caused this whole mess. Then again another part of me, the criminal in me, hoped something might go wrong, maybe have Toretto and O'Connor meet the same fate Letty and I had been looking at when we crashed.
I sighed as I watched the younger sister pull in. Placing my camera down in the passenger seat, I took one last look at the small house Letty had grown up in. Seeing O'Connor follow the younger Toretto inside I knew this was my cue to leave. Pulling carefully back onto the road I didn't even look backwards as I drove away unbeknown to anyone.
I kept driving, changing direction when needed as I headed for the boarder. I had been away a long time and I was anxious to get back to Letty and Leon. I had spent the time sorting out new identities for Letty and I, having documents made and getting in touch with some of my contacts that would come in handy for later. I had planned to leave over a week ago but I had decided at the last minute to hunt down O'Connor, maybe even freak him out. Although I have to admit that hadn't been my first thought. I hadn't been able to track him down though; word in the office was he was undercover.
'Didn't look so undercover to me.' I thought bitterly.
I sighed as I thought back to my sudden decision to hunt down Toretto. It hadn't been an easy decision to make. Hearing Letty's recount and adding Leon's into the mix, I really just wanted to shoot the bastard but I knew I couldn't. Leon had pulled me aside a few weeks after finding Letty, he told me they were meant to be. Despite what she thought now and felt now, she needed him and he her. I believed him somehow, so that had concreted my decision to finding his sorry arse and watching him. Who knew at the time he'd lead me to O'Connor?
I yawned and looked in the rear mirror as I drove. With everything that had happened lately we were paranoid about being followed, but to my relief the road behind was clear. I relaxed a little more and hit the pedal a little more, speeding my way towards the boarder wanting nothing more than to see what had become my family.
