Hello everyone. I'm really sorry I haven't started this story sooner but my life has been on the downward spiral lately and I haven't been able to claw myself out until now. My grandfather passed away recently and it hit me harder than I expected. We were really close, he was more of a father to me than my actual one was. I knew his death was coming but you're never prepared enough. He left a whole in my heart that I don't think I can fill again. Well, on a happier note, has everyone seen the Fast and Furious 7 trailer? It looks amazing and I can't wait to write Katie into it.
I hope everyone enjoys this first chapter. I spent a lot of time on it and I'm proud. Leave a review and tell me how I did.
The waves lapped against the shoreline, wetting my toes as I stood and looked out to the horizon. Something about being alone with your thoughts on a deserted beach that stretched for miles made me feel at peace. I had just finished making lunch of Mia who was craving something creamy before slipping out of her house and socking up some of the sun. Brian and Dom had gone out of another race, it'd been there routine for the last couple weeks.
The sound of my name made me turn around, my eyes catching Mia standing in the doorway of the beach house. By the look on her face and they way she was holding her swollen stomach for dear life I knew it was time. A smile slowly spread across my face and I started towards her, picking up my pace when I noticed her wells full of unleashed tears. Once I reached her she smiled, letting a tear fall and grabbed my hands putting them on her stomach.
I nodded my head and led her back into the house, carefully setting her down on the couch before running up stairs and towards the master bedroom. I opened the closet door and reached down, grabbing the bag Mia and I packed and repacked hundreds of times in the last week. Coming back down the steps I spotted Mia trying to control her breathing that was coming out in short deliberate puffs.
Slipping on my sandals that sat by the kitchen table I grabbed my car keys off the counter and moved towards the living room again. Mia looked up at me with concern and excitement building in her eyes. I nodded again and swung the bag over my shoulder before helping her stand up. Leading her out of the house, I quickly looked the door before helping her towards the cars.
Opening the passenger door I slowly helped Mia slide in. She sent me a grateful smile and leaned her head back against the headrest, rubbing her swollen bell lovingly. Rounding the car I slipped into the drivers seat, throwing the bag into the back. Starting the engine I pulled my phone and dialed Dom. Ring after ring and I grew more frustrated, pulling onto the road that headed towards the hospital. When Dom didn't pick up I called Brian, biting my lip nervously. He didn't answer either.
We didn't want to risk going to any of the highly populated hospitals so I found a nunnery on the outskirts of town that agreed to birth baby Jake with no questioned asked. Pulling up to the nunnery, I quickly shut the engine off before grabbing the bag from the back and climbing out of the car. Mia had already opened her door when I reached her side of the car and I slowly helped her out.
Three nuns hurried towards us slinging Spanish as they reached our Car. They helped me bring Mia into a large room and set her on the bed that was in the middle of the room. Mia held onto my hand for dear life as more tears sprung to her eyes. I sent her a reassuring smile and sat next to her, squeezing her hands as the nuns rushed around us, gathering everything for the birth.
She managed to say the words 'call' and 'Brain' between her short, sharp breaths. I nodded my head and pulled out my phone again, standing up. I smiled at the nuns before excusing myself, stepping out of the room and raising the phone to my ear. This time Brian picked up on the third ring. "Finally." I expressed, leaning up against the wall while I let out a relieved breathe. "I've been called you and my idiot fiancée for like an hour now. Don't freak out but Mia went into labor and its happening really fast so you need to get you ass down here and let her break your hand instead of mine."
"Yeah, yeah." Brian replied, I could her a car door shut and an engine start. "We'll be there as soon as possible." He paused for a second and I heard him let out a long breathe. "You think I'm going to make it?"
I hesitated and pushed off the wall, glancing in on Mia who's face was twisted in pain. I bit my lip and tightened my grip on the phone. "Just get here." I said before hanging up. I slipped back into the room and walked back over to Mia. She reached out and grabbed my hand as I sat down next to her, squeezing it with all her strength.
An hour passed and Brian still wasn't here. If Dom didn't get him here soon I was definitely withholding sex for a least a couple days. One of the nuns walked in and quickly whispered to the nun who was patting Mia's forehead and neck with a damp cloth. I looked up and narrowed my eyes at them when they left together. I stood up and kissed Mia's stomach before following them out. A sigh of relief left my lips when I saw Dom and Brian climb out of there cars and look at them.
I ran towards them and smiled widely. "It's all right." I said to the nuns, waving there efforts off gracefully. "I've got it." Brian and Dom reached me and I nodded at Brian. "It's okay. You're just in time."
"You're going to be a great father Brian." Dom commented, stopping next to me and pulling me into his cheat, wrapping his arms around my waist.
Brain smiled shyly, casing me to laugh a little bit at his nervousness. "What makes you so sure?" He asked, scratching the back of his neck.
"Because Katie and I will be there to kick your ass if you ain't." He responded, smirking at him lightly. I narrowed my eyes playfully at Brian and nodded in agreement. "Now get in there." Dom said. Brain backed up and headed towards the room before Dom called after him again. "Brian, remember the second you go through those doors, everything changes. Are old life is done." That caused me to look up at him, taking in his serious face.
Caressing his cheek I took his hand and led him over to the chairs that sat right outside Mia's room. I lowered into the seat and crossed my legs, gazing out at the view in front of me. I caught Dean staring at me, smiling slightly. I suddenly felt myself growing self-conscious and reached up, tucking a piece of hair behind my ear. I raised a questioning eyebrow and he just smirked.
"I can't wait until it's me walking into that room." He stated, taking my hand and kissing it. I immediately tensed and sucked in a breath. I've been very good about skirting around this subject, even through Dom found a way to bring it up in one way or another at least three times a week. "Well, we have a long time for that." I said, forcing a smile. Dom blew out a breath and let go of my hand, standing up and rubbing one of his hands over his bald head. "Dom, we've had this conversation. You know how I feel about kids."
"And you know how I feel." Dom replied, causing me to close my eyes. "You're not your parents Katie. I know you think because of the way you were raised..." I stood up and shook my head, holding my hand up.
"This is Mia and Brian's day." I stated, taking a long breath. "I don't want to fight about this. I love you, more then anything and I want to give you a family. But our lives, the danger we are constantly in, it's no way to raise a child."
"Brian and Mia are." Dom countered, pinning me down with a look. "They're raising Jack. You're making excuses." Before I could respond the door next to us opened and Brian walked through, a giddy smile on his face.
"It's a boy."
