3rd April- Mexico city, Mexico
Mexico City Hospital
Mia’s POV
I walked into the waiting room quietly with Leon and Lotty. Gisele was the first to see me and she quickly stepped forward, pulling me into her arms. I went willingly and hugged her back.
“He’ll be okay. Dom’s a fighter.”
“I know.”
“Where’s Brian and Letty?” Roman asked when he realised we were alone.
“Letty’s been admitted. Brian’s with her, he won’t leave.” Leon spoke softly and I could see the stress clear as day on his face.
“Admitted? Is she okay? Is the baby okay?” Han asked worried and we nodded.
“She collapsed after Brian told her. He didn’t even have a chance to properly tell us what had happened.”
“No one really knows man.”Tej spoke up as he stood, letting Mia take his seat.
“I’m going to go and see if I can find a doctor for an update.” Lotty spoke as she left the room.
“I should go check on Letty and Brian again.” I spoke as I started to get up but Gisele stopped me.
“I’ll go.”
“Toretto?” Our heads all snapped up as a doctor covered in scrubs walked into the room.
“Yes?” Mia asked nervously.
“You’re all family?”
“I’m his sister.” Mia spoke annoyed.
“We stopped the bleeding and repaired the damage. His spleen was too badly damaged, we couldn’t save it.”
“But he’ll be okay?” I pressed, needing good news of some kind.
“I can’t say. It’s touch and go right now. My team are prepping him for a transfusion as we speak. We couldn’t do it during the procedure.”
“Then what?” I demanded as everyone else in the room stayed silent.
“He’ll be monitored for an hour, if he stays stable then he’ll be moved. Agent Hobbs has made arrangements in LA for him.”
“But he’ll be okay?” Mia pressed. I watched as the doctor’s lips pressed together in a thin, drawn line.
“I’ve done all I can. Doctor Frey in LA is a close friend of mine, she can do more there then I can here.”
“When will we be able to see him?” Gisele asked.
“Crowding him isn’t wise at the moment. I can allow immediate family five minutes with him before he’s transferred but that’s all. I’m sorry.”
“Thank you doctor.” Mia spoke softly in a trance. I watched as the doctor nodded and left us alone once more.
“I’ll go and let Brian know.” Gisele spoke again and left.
3rd April- Mexico city, Mexico
Mexico City Hospital
Brian’s POV
I had been sitting beside Letty’s bedside for over an hour, waiting for her to wake. After she had slipped unconscious we rushed her to hospital, afraid for her health and the baby’s. The doctor had told us both were doing fine, that they would just continue to monitor them both for twenty four hours. Shock had been the cause of her collapse.
“How’s she doing?” Gisele asked as she popped her head through the door.
“Doctor said she’d wake when she was ready. That she’s suffered a huge emotional trauma and she may just need time.”
“And the baby?”
“We got lucky.” I spoke quietly towards the end.
“Any news on Dom?”
“Just brought him out of surgery. They repaired the damage and stopped the bleeding but they couldn’t save his spleen. It’s touch and go. He’s lost a lot of blood so a blood transfer is taking place now while he’s in recovery. Hobbs is getting him moved to LA within the hour.”
“Is he going to make it?” I asked shakily, I was afraid of the answer but I had to know.
“They can’t say.
“Can’t or won’t?”
“Won’t. They’re allowing Mia and… Letty five minutes with him before the transfer.”
“If she wakes.”
“Yes, if she wakes.”
“Let me know when Dom’s being transferred, if she not awake I’ll take her place. I need to see him” She nodded and left us alone once more.
“Hear that Let? Now all you have to do is wake up so you can be by his side.”
Letty’s POV
“How’s she doing?” I fought the darkness as I tried to place the voice. It was familiar and close.
“Doctor said she’d wake when she was ready. That she’s suffered a huge emotional trauma and she may just need time.”
“And the baby?” My baby! I tried to move my hand, my fingers, even open my eyes but nothing worked. My body was as heavy and stiff as concrete.
“We got lucky.” I fought the darkness but it was stronger. I let it pull me back as the world around me faded into nothing.
“Go home Brian, you need some rest. I’ll stay with her.” Leon’s voice washed over me and I tried once more to move but again nothing happened.
“I can’t. I feel like if I leave she’ll… leave too.”
“She’s a fighter. She’s just had a huge shock. I was always afraid of this, that’s why I kept her secret.” Leon spoke softly.
Oh Brian it’s not your fault. With that thought the darkness rolled in again, pulling me in deeper.
“I’m not leaving her.” Brian’s voice was all I could hear but even it sounded faint to my ears.
“Brian, I know you feel guilty but it’s not your fault. Dom wouldn’t want to see you like this.” Leon’s voice was soothing, calm and gentle. Dom. Was he okay? I had so many questions I needed answers to. I tried to move closer to the voices and this time my body let me.
I moved my head in the direction of their voices, my fingers twitching as my eyes fluttered open.
“Letty.” They both breathed out at the same time.
“Dom.” I whispered as I focused on their faces.
“He’s a fighter, he’s going to make it.” Leon spoke softly as he brushed my hair back from my face.
“I need to see him.” I spoke as I tried to sit up.
“Letty stay still, you need to be checked out.”
“I’m fine, I only fainted.” I snapped as I fought against their hands.
“Letty, you’ve been out for four days. The doctors thought you’d slipped into a coma.” Brian spoke softly.
I stopped resisting at Brian’s words, falling back onto the pillows as I let the news sink in. Four days? The tiny bits of conversations that I’d heard had happened over four days?
“Where’s Dom?” I asked again.
“Hobbs had him transferred back to LA. He’s in a top hospital, getting the care he needs.”
“LA? You mean…?” I trailed off trying to make sense of everything.
“We’re free Letty. We’re finally free.” Leon spoke with a smile.
