15th May- LA, United States
LA Hospital
Dom's POV
I sat next to Letty as she lay face up on the examination bed with her shirt rolled up. Maria was standing somewhere behind me as she watched on.
"How are you feeling today Letty? Any morning sickness?" The doctor asked as the ultrasound technician went about prepping Letty for the scan. I watched silently, feeling suddenly intimidated by the whole scene.
"No, it eased off a few weeks back."
"That's good, if you're one of the lucky ones hopefully you won't have another bout in your last trimester."
"I did with our first, so I'm not getting my hopes up." She joked making the doctor laugh while I watched them place gel on Letty's stomach.
"What's wrong?"
"Hmm?" I asked as I snapped out of my own little world and met Letty's concerned gaze.
"You were frowning."
"Oh. Nothing just thinking. This is all new to me, I don't understand much of what's going on." I spoke quietly as I gestured to the monitor and the wand being held to Letty's stomach as the doctor and the technician spoke quietly between themselves.
"They're just taking measurements. It's really nothing exciting." She explained as she squeezed my hand in reassurance.
"Okay mum and dad, baby is measuring at sixteen weeks which is pretty much spot on. There's no problems that I can see right now which is good. Do you want to hear the heart beat?" The doctor asked and I nodded before Letty had a chance to making her smile.
"Sorry." I whispered sheepishly.
"I don't mind." She smiled.
It was only a few seconds before a quickened thumping noise filled the room and I looked down at Letty with a wide grin as she smiled up at me.
"Nice and strong." The doctor spoke up.
"Wow." I breathed out as I looked down at Letty in awe.
"Pretty amazing huh?" She spoke to me quietly. I had no words so I just nodded because it was more than just fucking amazing.
"Do we want to know the sex?" The doctor asked and I looked to Letty for permission.
"Can you tell yet?" Letty asked with a frown.
"Possibly, let's have a look." It was a few minutes of silence as I split my attention between the doctor rotate the wand around Letty's stomach and the screen which showed our baby.
"Hmm nope he or she won't turn to show us." The doctor spoke finally with an apologetic smile.
"Next time." Letty smiled up at me and I grinned back at her.
"So when-"
"When should she be back in to see you again Doctor?" Maria asked interrupting my same question but chose to stay quiet and bite my tongue.
"In about four weeks. We should be able to do the gender scan then and get an answer on the gender."
"Thanks Doc." Letty smiled as she handed paper towel to Letty to wipe the gel off her stomach.
"Any questions?" The doctor asked us and I looked to Letty who shook her head as she looked at me.
"I don't think so." I spoke up.
"I have one. If Letty was to move interstate would you be able to refer her to someone else?" Maria spoke up.
"Ma I'm not moving." Letty spoke before I had a chance to.
"Just covering all options." Maria spoke looking expectantly at the doctor.
"Sure but there would possibly be a waiting period and her files would have to be transferred which takes time. It's not recommended that a patient switches doctors mid pregnancy unless absolutely necessary." The doctor spoke with a small understanding smile towards me and I mouthed a 'thank you' when I realized she had probably lied a little.
"Just keep up with the vitamins and eating right and we'll see you in another four weeks."
"Thank you." I nodded as I shook the doctor's hand before she left the room.
"Here we go, pictures of your baby."
"Thanks." I smiled at the tech as she handed me a small stack of photos. There was about five or six I counted as I sifted through them, waiting for Letty to right herself.
"We should go and make your next appointment then. Then head back to pick up Ava and get on the road. You need to rest." Maria fussed.
"I'm fine. I was thinking Ava and I might stay for dinner." Letty smiled at her mum.
"Letty-" Maria started, anger showing on her face before Letty cut her off.
"Okay enough. I've tried being nice but you are being rude. I don't care how much you hate Dom he's been nothing but civil to you and I expected you to do the same. Clearly you can't. I love him mum and it's not going to change so you might as well get used to it now. You wouldn't have Ava or this grandchild without him and I probably wouldn't be here without him either so it's time to grow up. I'm done with your petty attitude. I'm a grown woman and I'll make my own decisions. Tomorrow I'm packing up and I'm coming home." Letty snapped at Maria making my jaw drop. I watched entranced as she blew a stray piece of hair out of her face and crossed her arms over her chest in anger. Damn she was hot when she was mad.
I had to discreetly adjust myself in my jeans and look away from the fired up pregnant woman. Damn.
"I'm going to go and make that appointment." I muttered as I dropped a kiss on Letty's head before hurrying out the door.
Tugging at my collar I walked as quickly as I could to the desk and asked for another appointment in four weeks.
"Okay Mr Toretto all done, we'll see you and your wife then." I smiled but didn't correct her as I walked away. Letty was standing by the front door waiting for me on her own.
"Where's Maria?"
"She left." She huffed, muttering something in her native tongue I didn't catch.
"Left?" I asked confused as to what she meant by that.
"Mmhmm. I'm going to need you to drive me back so I can get my car tomorrow." She spoke and I nodded still stunned by what had just happened.
"Are you sure she just didn't leave for the garage?" I asked as I took Let's hand and led her to my parked car.
"Nope. She's gone. She threw a tantrum and just upped and walked out." I winced when I heard the hurt underlying Letty's voice.
"Come here baby." I spoke softly as I turned her around and pulled her to me tightly. She sniffed into my chest and I rubbed her back soothingly as the tears started. I wanted to hate Maria for making her cry but I couldn't. She was being unreasonable and completely rude but she was hurting just as much as Letty and I couldn't exactly hold it against her.
"It's okay baby. We'll figure it out, together. Okay?" I asked as I held her face in my hands as I used my thumbs to wipe away her tears. She nodded once and gave me a small smile when I kissed her on the nose.
"Come on. I want to get you and Ava home and just have a quiet night in spending time with my girls."
"Okay." She smiled as she helped wipe away her tears.
"God you're beautiful." I whispered as I leant down and lightly brushed my lips over hers.
"I missed you." She whispered.
"Let I missed you too. You don't know how hard it's been for me to just not get in the car and drive to see you."
"We still have things to work on." She started and I nodded seriously as I tucked a stray piece of her hair behind her ear.
"We do."
"But I was serious about wanting to come home. I did what I needed to do."
"You have that spark back." I whispered and she looked at me puzzled.
"What are you talking about?"
"The one you used to have when we were teens. I can't explain it but I can see it." I smiled as I leant down and pressed my lips to hers again, more pressure this time giving her the chance to kiss me back.
And kiss me back she did.
I groaned into the kiss, sliding my eager tongue against hers as I held her closer. She whimpered as I ran a hand down her cheek, neck, down her side before stopping at her hip.
"You know the stupid thing about pregnancy," She started as I pulled back a little to look at her face which was flushed from our kiss.
"What?" I asked a little breathless myself.
"Hormones. It's been too long and I need you. Now." Fuck.
"Think Ava miss us for another hour or so?" I asked as I opened the car door for Letty.
"No. Take me home Dom." She pleaded as she looked up at me with lust filled eyes and I groaned, dropping a brief kiss to her sweet lips before jogging to my side of the car.
We could talk later.
