14th June- Mexico city, Mexico
Leon's house
Leon's POV
"Okay enough is enough. Something is wrong. You've been throwing up ever since you came back. I'm taking you to a doctor."
"Leon I don't need a fucking doctor." She spat out.
"Well what the hell is going on Let?"
"I'm fine, just come down with something." She finished lamely.
"You're going to see a doctor." I snapped. I watched as she glared at me, we were both sitting on the bathroom floor.
"LEON I AM FINE." She yelled. I threw my hands up in the air and stood.
"Letty I am just worried about you. This isn't normal. Geez woman, what are you PMSing or something?" I muttered as I walked out shaking my head.
Letty's POV
"Geez woman, what are you PMSing or something?" I froze as I heard the words. I was late. Counting in my head I felt my stomach drop as I bolted from the bathroom.
'No no no no. No it can't be.' I thought as I rushed past Leon ignoring his shout as I slammed my bedroom door behind me.
Tearing apart the room I came up empty. My little pack of pills that kept me safe weren't here and I had failed to notice that since the heists.
I paced the room frantically. I tried counting but my brain was unable to function. Standing next to the bed, I sunk to the floor in disbelief.
"This can't be happening." I muttered in shock.
"Letty?" I heard Leon ask from the other side of the door.
"I'm fine." I called back trying to sound normal.
"Let open the door." He spoke but I didn't answer him.
This couldn't be happening. Not now. No there had to be another reason. Leon was right, I had to go see a doctor. There was something else wrong. I couldn't be… pregnant.
Feeling sick, not like I had the past week though, I rose from the floor. I needed to see a doctor.
"Letty what's wrong?" I blinked blankly at Leon as I opened the door.
"You're right, I should see a doctor. I'll be back later." I said as I gathered my wallet and keys.
"What? Just two minutes ago you were dead against it. What the hell is going on with you?" He demanded.
"Are you really going to fight me on this?" I asked and he snapped his mouth shut and stayed silent.
"That's what I thought." I said walking out of the house.
Pulling into the nearest doctors, I filled out all the paper work I needed to. My brain was able to comprehend that I needed to use a fake name, just in case. It was only a small office but it seemed to take forever to be seen.
"Miss Thomas?" I stood at the mention of the Alias.
"So Lia what can I do for you today?" The doctor's accent was thick and I could only hope I wouldn't have to use my Spanish. It had been years since I had spoken it.
"I had an accident close to three months ago. I just want to make sure everything's healed, I've been sick lately. I thought it might just be from my ribs."
"Okay let's have a look." She said motioning for me to lay on the bed.
I tried to stay still as she poked and prodded me but it didn't hurt so I took that as a good thing.
"Everything feels fine. Any pain?"
"No." I answered.
"Everything looks to be healed fine. I can't see anything to suggest why you would be getting sick. Would you like me to check you out more thoroughly?" I hesitated before pushing the thought out away.
"No, thank you. I'm sure it will pass."
"Anything else I can help you with?"
"No that's all. Thank you." I said as I stood and left the small office. I paid the fee and left as quickly as I could. Sitting in the car I closed my eyes and tried not to fall apart.
'This couldn't be happening.' I thought stressed. What was I going to do?
Tapping the steering wheel I stared at the small corner shop next to the doctors. I had to know. I didn't want to do it but I had to know.
Locking up the car once more I got out walking slowly towards the shop. Finding the aisle was easy but I took a few moments to pull myself together. Walking up and down the aisle it took me three times before I got the courage to actually pick up a box. It brought me back to the time when Dom had been sent to jail. Gripping the box I closed my eyes and told myself I was being stupid. It was all just another miss understanding and I vowed never to tell anyone about this once more.
Paying quickly, ignoring the old woman's disapproving look as I left and started the drive back to the house.
Leon wasn't anywhere to be seen as I walked in. Heading quietly up the hall, not wanting to draw attention to myself, I felt like a kid sneaking in after curfew. I could hear shuffling in Leon's room as I tip toed past and prayed he wouldn't come out until I was safely in the bathroom.
Locking the door behind me I breathed a small sigh of relief but the box in my hand weighed me down still. Tapping the box for a few beats I closed my eyes as I ripped open the box. Opening my eyes I read over the instructions once, just to be sure I knew what I was doing before I threw everything onto the bathroom sink and sunk to the floor.
Breathing in and out deeply I spent a couple of minutes calming myself before I managed to stand. Grabbing the tests I took one more look at my reflection before moving away.
I needed to know.
Pacing in front of the sink waiting for the minutes to tick past, I felt sick. Three minutes went by slowly but when it ticked over I stood staring down at the three little white sticks.
"Just look Letty, don't chicken out like last time." I muttered to myself as I picked up the first test and flipped it over.
I heard myself gasp and I barely registered the noise of the test clattered into the sink. The room spun as I staggered backwards.
'No no no. It was wrong. The test was faulty. The rest will show negative.' I thought frantically to myself as I flipped over the next two. I stopped breathing as yet another two positive signs stared up at me.
'How could I let this happen?' I thought as I sunk to the floor in shock. Running my hands through my hair I hung my head.
"Shit." I swore quietly as I felt overwhelmed to the point of tears.
'A baby? I wasn't ready for a baby. We were on the run, a baby would just slow us down. What would Dom say? I don't think we had ever spoken about kids. Would he want this? Hell did I even want this?'
The bathroom suddenly seemed too small, I needed to get out. I was suffocating in here. Picking up the tests I contemplated throwing them away but I kept them. It was the only hard evidence that this was really happening.
I didn't pay any attention as to where Leon might have been in the house. I just walked numbly into my room and shut the door. Placing the three texts in the box I shoved it in the top draw and walked away to sit on the bed. Placing my head in my hands I let the news sink in.
'What am I going to do?'
