15th May- LA, United States
Garage office
Dom's POV
I was nervous. Like freaking-the-hell-out kind of nervous. Letty's appointment wasn't for another hour and a half and the garage wasn't busy enough yet to take my mind off everything.
"Nervous?" Brian asked as he slipped into the room.
"Yeah." I sighed.
"You look like shit." He frowned as he sat down opposite me.
"Thanks." I muttered in annoyance.
"You worried about seeing Letty or Maria more?" He asked as he leant back into the chair.
"What do you think?" I muttered sarcastically as I looked at the time yet again.
"She might have changed." He shrugged and I scoffed.
"I doubt it, I think it's pretty safe to say I'm still number one on her hit list."
"If you need support there today…" He trailed off and I nodded in understanding and in thanks.
"I'll think about it, thanks."
"Anytime."
I frowned and turned to look out the office window as loud calls started.
"What the hell are they doing out there?" Brian asked me.
"I don't know but they need to keep it down, the idea is to bring customers in not frighten them away." I mumbled.
"DADA!" The loud and very familiar giggle made me pause and look to the door. I let out a wide grin when I saw Ava, bending down as she ran into my arms.
"Princess. Daddy's missed you." I whispered as I gave her a kiss, swinging her up into my arms as I stood.
"Ki?" She asked innocently and I glared at Brian as he stifled his laugh.
"Damn cat." I muttered before giving Ava another kiss.
"Kiki's at home baby. Where's mumma?" I asked as I headed for the office door in search for Letty.
"Gram." I mentally cringed and had half a mind to run back into the office with Ava and hide but I knew it wouldn't do me any favours in the long run. Besides that I wanted to see Let.
"Maria's in the car." Leon spoke quietly as he popped up suddenly beside me.
"Where's Let?" I asked scanning the room looking for the brunette.
"She was over with Tej last time I saw her but she might have stepped out to see Maria."
"I guess I better get this over with, the last thing I want is for it to be awkward during the scan." I spoke quietly so only Brian and Leon could hear.
"She's going? I thought she was just bringing Letty down?"
"Maria wants to be there for it, and I'm not gunna tell Letty her mum can't come. She's promised to be civil."
"I guess." Brian muttered.
"Hey you." I looked up and smiled as I heard her voice. I let my eyes wander over her and I smiled. Her belly was definitely more noticeable now but still small compared to when Mia had Lexie. She was wearing jeans and a black singlet but she looked beautiful.
"Hey." I whispered after Brian and Leon gave her a smile and left us alone.
"She's been missing you." She mentioned, motioning to Ava who was completely silent and contently curled up in my arms.
"I've missed her too, and you. How are you?" I asked from my spot, I wanted so badly to hug and hold her but I wouldn't until she asked me. I didn't want to force anything on her.
"I've been good, busy. Ma's in the car. She won't come in just yet."
"It's okay, we all expected it. I'm not her favourite person, I know that." I shrugged as I kissed Ava's cheek.
"I don't get a kiss?" She asked with a slight smile but I could see the sadness in her eyes.
"I don't want to push my boundaries Let, you need to guide me with this. On what you want." I whispered, pleading quietly with her.
"Okay well," She started with a small smirk as she walked closer to me. I stayed still, not moving as she stopped flush against me, her stomach resting against mine.
"Right now I'll settle for a kiss, but if we were alone I wouldn't be letting you stop at a kiss." She smirked up at me.
"Shit." I breathed out in awe.
"So that kiss?" She hinted.
"Yeah…." I mumbled before I swooped down and claimed her lips with mine.
I groaned quietly against her mouth as she took over, opening my mouth so she could slide her tongue in. I didn't even fight her for dominance, instead I savoured every second of her being in charge.
"Shit Letty." I groaned quietly as we broke away, our foreheads touching as we panted for breath.
"Sorry."
"No, no don't be. Fuck, anytime you want to kiss me like that go for it."
"I'm still working on me but being with ma has helped. I have a bit of my fight back." She smirked and I nodded in agreement.
"Ow." She muttered and I pulled back quickly, frantically looking her over.
"What? What did I do?"
"NO you didn't do anything. Bub kicks pretty heard now, sometime it hurts."
"Oh." I breathed out in relief as I let my eyes wander to her stomach.
"You can touch me Dom, I won't bite you." She chuckled as she took my free hand, moving it to wrap around the lower half of her stomach.
We both waited a few seconds before I felt it, a really strong thump against my hand. I couldn't help but be in awe over it. Sure I had felt Lexie kick when Mia had been pregnant but that was nothing like feeling your own child.
"Pretty cool huh?"
"Yeah…" I trailed off as I shifted closer, moving my hand lower so I could keep feeling our baby move.
"She's asleep." Letty whispered and I drew my attention away from her stomach to Ava who was fast asleep in my arms.
"She not sleep last night?" I asked.
"No she slept pretty much straight through, and a nit in the car. Guess she's just content to be back with you." Letty smiled and I smiled back, placing a kiss on her forehead.
"I'll be back in a second, I just want to go and see ma."
"Okay, I'll be in the office, come find me when you get back."
"Okay." I smiled as she stood on tippy toes to reach up to kiss me. I bent slightly meeting her in a kiss before she pulled back.
"I missed you." She whispered.
"I missed you too baby, so much."
