O’Conner House
Dom’s POV
We’d been home maybe an hour before everyone else arrived. I had tried, unsuccessfully, to make myself comfortable across the length of the couch, so when Mia and Letty started filing through the door I was the first thing they saw.
“DADA!” Ava screamed as she kicked to be put down.
“Dom you’re home. Wait, why are you home? Are you meant to be home?” Mia demanded as she put Lexi down and started my way.
“No.” Lotty mumbled from behind me somewhere but I ignored it. My eyes locked on Letty’s as she placed Ava on the floor too.
“I will heal better at home. Now chill, step aside and let me hug my girlfriend.” I laughed as my eyes locked with Letty’s surprised ones. I barely noticed as everyone else left the room, leaving Letty and I alone
“Dom.” She whispered but it was half hidden as Ava’s squeal of excitement had her running straight for me and I managed to grab her before she did me any real damage.
“Hey princess.” I whispered as I kissed her, holding my hand out for Letty to join me on the couch.
“I don’t understand you aren’t meant to be home.” She spoke softly.
“I signed myself out. This is where I need to be and I can’t take any more of the doctors or nurses hovering all hours of the night.”
“Dom you shouldn’t have done that.” She scolded and I just smiled.
“You honestly going to complain I’m here right now?” I asked quietly as I sat up slightly, letting her slip in behind me.
“No, no I missed you too much to complain. As long as you’re okay, that’s all that matters.” She spoke as she hugged me, dropping a kiss to my head as I settled on my side, hugging Ava intomy chest lightly. She was babbling about something, dropping the word car every so often.
“Car? Did you go for a ride?” I asked as she grinned.
“No she hung out at the garage all day. She helped uncle Tej out then uncle Leon. Crashed real hard though, she’s only just woken.”
“The garage huh? Did you like that?” I asked her as she giggled.
“Ya.”
“Since when can you say yes?” I laughed in shock.
“I have no idea.” Letty laughed too as we relaxed into the lounge.
“How are you feeling? Are you still getting morning sickness?” I asked Letty as I looked up at her.
“A little, only when I get a whiff of something really bad. Like engine grease…” She spoke sadly and I smiled.
“Oh baby, I guess the garage is definitely a no go place for you.” I spoke softly.
“And you.” She spoke forcefully and I had to hide my smile.
“For now. I’ll do as I’m told and rest but only if you stay too.” I bargained and she chuckled.
“Deal. I could milk this for the next six months you know.” She spoke teasingly and I groaned playfully.
“Oh however will I survive being around my girls constantly for six months?” I fake sighed. I squirmed as I felt a poke in my side and groaned in slight pain.
“Oh I’m sorry, I’m so sorry.” Letty apologised but I just smiled as I looked up at her.
“It’s okay.”
“No its not I hurt you.” She stressed as I wrapped my hand around the back of her neck and brought her down to my level.
“Let, it’s okay.” I whispered before I kissed her. She whimpered immediately and I pulled back, looking at her concerned.
“Hormones… ignore me.” I grinned and kissed her again, lightly, yet again making her whimper into the kiss.
“Never.” I spoke pulling away.
“I hate this part of pregnancy.” She whispered as she rested her head against mine.
“What part?” I asked frowning. I waited a few seconds in silence but when she still didn’t explain I asked again.
“Letty what part?”
“The horny part.” She whispered and I laughed, wincing as I did so.
“Ow. I’m out of action for at least a couple more weeks but I think I can find a way to help you out somehow.” I hinted and she groaned in need. It was quiet the turn on.
Noticing the silence I looked down and smiled when I saw Ava fast asleep yet again.
“Someone’s out again.”
“Again?” Letty asked as she looked over.
“Must have been all the excitement.”
“Hopefully she’ll still sleep tonight.” Letty muttered.
“I’ll get her if she doesn’t. You need to rest, I’ve had more than enough.” I told her and she smiled slightly.
“Okay.”
I closed my eyes as silence washed over us, Letty’s hand running over my head was lulling me to sleep. Peeking up at her once I saw she had her eyes closed to and I smiled. She needed to sleep.

O’Conner House
Mia’s POV
I stared open mouthed at Brian as he and Lotty filled me in with all the details.
“The house? He gave us the house?” I asked in shock.
“He knew how much it meant to you and he said he and Letty didn’t have very good memories here. He wants to start over elsewhere.” Brian explained.
“But where?” I asked.
“He wouldn’t say but I think he has a place in mind.” Brian spoke shrugging.
“And the garage?” I asked.
“A partnership was always on the cards, you know that. We’d spoken about opening up one together before.”
“I guess. I just can’t believe it though.”
“I don’t know everything he has planned but whatever it is it’s all for Letty.” I narrowed my eyes at Brian and Lotty as they agreed.
“I’m calling bullshit, you both know what he has planned.”
“Mia, please let this go. I can’t tell you, I promised Dom and this really means a lot to him.” Brian begged me and I sighed.
“Okay fine, but if this hurts her I’ll rip both of your balls off. Got it?” I asked threateningly.
“Got it.” He gulped.

Letty’s POV
“Let, baby wake up.” I groaned as I let my eyes flutter open. I had been having such a good dream and I was going to kill the person who woke me up.
“What?” I groaned in annoyance as I looked up at Dom. He stifled a smile and pecked me on the lips.
“Dinners ready baby.”
“Dinner?” I asked confused.
“Yeah we’ve slept all afternoon. Including Ava.”
“Oh shit, she’s going to fight going to bed.” I cursed as I sat up, taking Dom’s offered hand as he helped me stand.
“I’ve got her tonight.” He promised again and I snuggled into his arms.
“Okay.”
“Come on sleepy, dinners ready.” He joked as he pressed a kiss to my lips.
“Mmmm but…” I whined trying to move with him as he pulled away.
“Come on I wanna feed all three of you. I can’t do that if you keep me here.” He baited and I pulled away with a sigh, letting him lead me into the kitchen.
“Oh look who’s finally awake.” Leon joked as he passed me.
“Shut up.” I spoke lamely, too tired to find a better come back.
“AH! See look at that. Right there, look at that! You reached in first Lotty so you say grace.” Roman yelled suddenly scaring the shit out of me as I started to sit down. Startled I lost my balance and landed hard in the chair, causing Dom to hover whilst shooting dangers down to the other end of the table.
“Sorry.” Roman said sheepishly as everyone glared at him.
“You okay?” Dom asked concerned as I righted myself.
“I’m good.” I nodded as he sat down beside me. Ava was next to Dom already trying to scoop her potato onto her spoon.
“Need some help princess?” Dom asked her after she missed it for a third time.
“No.” She shouted as she snatched back her spoon from Dom.
“Ava don’t snatch.” Dom scolded.
“Independent like her mama.” Leon chuckled from across the table, earning a glare from both Dom and I for laughing at her.
“Sorry. Bad uncle.” He coughed nervously, trying to disguise his laugh.
