thanks for all of the reviews! I'm taking everyone's advice into consideration. All of your questions will be answered in due time. These chapters are leading up to reveal more information about Letty. I wanted this chapter to show more interaction with the girls and a little Dotty ;)


Chapter 5

Letty woke up to the sound of giggles behind her in her bed. She smiled knowing it was her two beautiful little girls. She decided to play along to their little game. Letty stretched and let out a loud yawn as she turned over to face them. She slightly opened her eyes to see that they were both under the covers. "I could've sworn I heard two little girls giggling just now. Where did they go?" Sophia and Grace both started giggling again and she heard Sophia shush Grace. "I guess I'm going to have to go look for them." Letty got out of the bed and walked to the door. "Grace. Sophia. Where are you?" She opened and closed the door but didn't go out. She ran over to the side of the bed they were and crouched down on the floor.

Sophia pushed the covers over her head and looked around the room then looked at her little sister. "She's gone Gracie. Let's go hide somewhere else."

Before the girls could get out to the bed, Letty jumped up from off the floor. "Got you!" Sophia and Grace both let out high pitched squeals and giggles as Letty started to tickle them. "You girls are so silly."

Sophia wrapped her arms around her mother and gave her a kiss. "Good morning mommy."

"Good morning mija."

Grace got up and did the exact same thing as her big sister. "Mawin mommy."

Letty smiled at the fact that Grace is already copying Sophia. "Good morning Gracie." Letty laid back down on the bed with Grace laying on her chest and Sophia snuggled into the side of her arm.

"What are we going to do today mommy? I want to go to the park with Gracie so we can play."

Letty looked down at her daughter and rubbed her hair. "We probably can fit that into our schedule today. But first we have to go to Tía Mia's house for breakfast and talk to daddy. Then we have to go pick out a bedroom set for your room here at my house, stuff for Gracie's room and other furniture for the house."

Sophia frowned. "I like shopping mommy but why can't you and Gracie move in with me and Daddy?"

Letty sighed. She knew she would have to explain things to Sophia sooner or later but she would've preferred later. "Daddy and I aren't quite together right now sweetie. We have a lot of grown up taking we have to do first."

Sophia nodded like she understood what Letty meant. "I just hope things get better soon so we can all be a family again."

Letty rubbed Sophia's hair. "I know baby, I know." She kissed her head then say up in bed. "Come on love bugs, time to get dressed." Letty got the girls and went to get them dressed and washed up so they can head to Mia's house. Letty got Grace and Sophia's clothes laid out on the bed.

Letty helped Sophia get dressed first because she would be the easiest. She went to Grace next but when she tried to put her shirt on, Grace pushed it away. "No."

"Gracie come on. We don't have time for this today."

Letty attempted to put the shirt over her head again but Grace pushed it harder and stood up on the bed. "No!"

"Grace Amelia Toretto." Letty said in a firm voice. "Let me get you dressed or you won't go anywhere today."

Grace started to whine and pointed out Sophia. "I wanna dwess like Sophia."

"Baby you don't have the same outfit as her."

This made Grace start to cry. Sophia gasped with excitement and stacked on her mothers shirt. "Mommy! We can go to the store really quick and get me and Gracie matching outfits!"

Letty sighed and looked between her two daughters and thought it over. Grace had stopped crying but she was still whimpering when she heard Sophia start talking. "So you girls want to dress alike? Hair and everything?"

Sophia nodded her head rapidly. "Uh huh." Sophia turned to Grace. "Isn't that right Gracie?"

Grace nodded her head even though she probably didn't even know what was going on. Letty smiled at how quickly her girls bonded after just meeting each other. It warmed her heart to see them interacting with each other. "Okay. I'm going to go get dressed then we can go. I'll have to change you guys in the car though. Sophia do you think you can be my big helper and put so,e clothes on Gracie?" Sophia squealed with excitement and grabbed the clothes out of Letty's hands. Letty went back to her room and got ready for the day. 15 minutes later, she and the girls were pulling out of the driveway headed to the store.


Dom was sitting on the balcony of the guest bedroom at Mia and Brian's house. He ended up staying over there last night after Letty came and got Sophia. The guest bedroom was basically his own bedroom and the one across the hall was Sophia's. Dom was looking out at the view from the front of the house. He could see the water from the opposite side of the island, houses, and the highway. His mind was thinking about Letty. He just didn't understand why she would take her death and then not come looking for him and Sophia. Dom loved Letty with all his heart but he was very upset with her. A hand touched Dom's shoulder causing him to jump. He looked up and saw Elena smiling at him. He gave her a weak smile and grabbed her hand and kissed it. "Are you okay Dom?"

Dom let out a long sigh. "I don't know honestly. This is all so overwhelming."

Elena nodded and sat down on his lap. "I understand. I'm here for you if you need anything baby. You know that."

Dom nodded. "I know, I just need to talk to Letty about something's. I crossed the line yesterday by saying she wasn't Sophia's mother and by trying to keep Sophia from her."

Elena frowned. "She's not Sophia's mother. I am Dom. I took care of her while she was gone and she didn't even come looking for her. I was there when Sophia had nightmares and would wake up crying and screaming. I'm her mother Dom!"

Dom frowned at Elena's words. "You may have been there Elena but we both know that Letty is her true mother. Sophia came out of her wound. Sophia knew Letty as her mother before Letty went away. That 2 and a half years that Letty was gone, Sophia thought she wasn't going to see her mother again and that's why she got attached to you and made you her new mother. But that's changed know that Letty's back in the equation. Letty is her mother Elena."

Before Elena could say anything, they turned to look over the balcony at the sound of a car pulling into the drive way. Letty got out the car and looked up toward them. She shook her head and closed the door and walked to the backseat door. Dom and Elena watched as Letty picked Grace up into her arms from the backseat and then she helped Sophia out of the backseat. Dom smiled at the sight of his two little girls. They both had on white sandals, a yellow flower sundress, and white head band with a bun at the top of their heads. Letty had on an outfit that had the same clothes; yellow shorts, white blouse, white wedge sandals and a bun in her head. Dom thought she looked absolutely breath taking. He noticed how Letty changed her style from the edgy, boyish look she used to have to this woman who was more feminine but still had her edgy said to her. Dom watched as Sophia and a grace ran hand-in-hand inside the house. Letty looked up and made eye contact with Dom. They held each other's gaze before Elena leaned forward and blocked their view of each other. "Dom were you even listening to a word I said?!"

Dom shook his head and looked back at Elena. "I'm sorry darling. What were you saying?" Elena eyed him and just got up and walked away from him without saying a word. Dom watched as she walked back into the bedroom mumbling under her breath. Dom let out a loud groan and got up to get dressed and head downstairs to start his now drama filled life.


Dom walked downstairs to hear voices coming from the kitchen. Clearly everyone must be in there getting ready for breakfast. Dom took a deep breathe before opening the door to the kitchen. Everyone stopped talking and looked over at him. Letty made eye contact with him but quickly looked away. It would've been an awkward silence if it weren't for Sophia screaming his name. "Daddy!" Sophia ran to Dom and jumped into his arms. "I missed you daddy!"

Dom was about to say something but he was interrupted but another little voice yelling. "Daddy!" Dom looked down to see Grace trying to move her little legs as fast as she could to get to Dom. Grace collided with Dom's legs and she wrapped her little arms around his legs, squeezing them as tight as she could. She looked up at Dom with the biggest smile on her face. Dom bent down and picked her up in his other arm and kissed her on the head. "Good morning my princesses." Dom looked over at Letty and saw the shocked expression on his face. He couldn't help but smirk. "Good morning everyone." Dom said to everyone as he walked over to the table and sat down with Grace on one leg and Sophia on the other. Everyone except Letty said their good mornings to Dom then went back to having little side conversations. "How are my girls today?"

Grace responded by standing up on Dom's lap and kissing him on the nose. Sophia giggled at her sister. "Gracie's silly Daddy."

Dom chuckled. "Yes she is." Dom kissed Gracie back. He looked up and saw Letty looking at them. Her eyes were watery like she was going to cry. She got up and walked outside towards the beach. Dom stood up and sat the girls down on the seat. "Daddy will be right back." The girls nodded and Dom walked out outside the back to find Letty sitting in the hammock with face in her hands. Dom walked towards her and stopped a few feet behind her. "Letty."

Letty sniffed and quickly whipped her face off. "What Dominic?"

Dom let out a heavy sigh. "I'm sorry. I was a complete jackass yesterday and I said something that completely crossed the line and it shouldn't have been said." Dom walked around to face. "Sophia, you, and everyone else knows that you are and always will be her mother. I was just so angry with you Let. I kind of still am but I didn't give you a chance to explain everything to me and I should have let you do that. I'm truly sorry Letty."

Letty looked deep into Dom's eyes and she could tell that he was telling her the truth. "You can be a real asshole sometimes Dom."

Dom reached up and placed his hand on her cheek. "I know and I'm sorry." They stared into each other's eyes while Dom continued to stroke her cheek. Letty closed her eyes and leaned into his hand. These are the moments that Letty missed the most with Dom. "You're still gorgeous as ever Letty."

Letty opened her eyes and saw Dom staring at her intensely. Then the moment was ruined. "Dom." It was Elena.

Letty's back was to Elena so she couldn't see Dom touching Letty's face. Letty rolled her eyes as Dom removed his hand from her face and stood up. "Yes Elena?"

Elena looked between the two but said nothing about it. "I made your plate for breakfast."

Dom gave her a reassuring smile. "Thank you babe. Just give us a moment."

"Dom I-"

"Elena-"

Letty stood up and shook her head. "You know what? Fuck this. Obviously your little skank can't stay away for a minute without interrupting shit."

Elena pointed a finger at Letty, "Watch what the hell you call me Letty."

Letty raised an eyebrow at Elena. "Or what bitch?!" Elena clenched her fist over and over again. She looked at Letty then over at Dom. "That's what the fuck I thought." Letty walked back into the house.

Elena looked over at Dom. "So you weren't going to stand up for me?"

"It wasn't my fight. I wasn't about to jump into something that didn't involve me."

Elena rolled her eyes. "We need to hurry up. We have an appointment for the tailors around 12:30. We have to go get Sophia's dressed sized then go pick out cake."

"You need to run that by Letty."

Elena snorted. "For what?"

"What do you mean for what? She's Sophia's mother. She needs to now where and what her daughter is going to be doing."

Elena shook her head. "Unbelievable." She walked back into the house without saying anything else to Dom. Dom rubbed his hand over his face the walked back into the house.


It was around 11:30 when everyone got finished eating their breakfast. Letty was having a small conversation with Tej while he held Grace in his arms. Mia was holding Jack and talking to Roman. Elena was sitting next to Dom while he was holding Sophia. "Daddy. Are you coming with me, Grace, and mommy today?"

Before Dom could answer her, Elena spoke. "You, me, and Daddy have to go get your dressed sized today so you have to come with us. Then we're going to try cake."

Sophia frowned. "But mommy said we were going to pick out furniture for my room at her house and other furniture for the rest of her house."

This time Dom spoke. "Your room at mommy's house? You have a room here."

"I know that but mommy explained to me that you and her aren't together right now so that's why I have to have a room at her house instead of all of us getting one house together."

Dom nodded in understanding. "Mommy is right. But don't you want to get your pretty dress for the wedding?"

Sophia thought for a moment. "Why are y'all still getting married?" Why can't you be with my real mommy since she's back now?"

It seemed that everyone in the room heard Sophia because they all stopped their side conversations and looked at them. Dom looked up and made eye contact with Letty but she stood up and picked Grace up. "We need to get going girls. We have a lot to do today."

Sophia tried to get up to go with them but Dom held her in place. "Uh Letty, Sophia has to come with me and Dom today because she has to get sized for her dress for the wedding."

Letty looked from Elena to Dom. It was still surreal to her how Dom moved on from her and is now getting married to someone else. "Fine. She can go."

Sophia started to whine. "But I want to go with you and Gracie mommy." Sophia got out of Dom's hold and ran over to Letty wrapping her arms around her legs.

Letty knelt down with Grace still in her arms to talk to Sophia. "I know you do baby. But we will come by and get you later." Sophia stuck her bottom lip out and started to whine. "Sophia Isabella Torretto. You will not throw a tantrum like you did last night. You have to go with Daddy to get your dress and I will come right back for you. Mommy isn't going to leave her baby girl again, okay?"

Sophia whipped her face and nodded. "Okay mommy. I love you." She kissed Letty and wrapped her arms around her neck.

Letty looked at Dom as Sophia hugged her. "I love you too mija. I'm going to go and get your bedroom set and it'll be up by time you come back." Sophia nodded. "Now be a big girl and go back to daddy." Sophia whipped her face and went back to sit on her Daddy's lap. Letty nodded at Dom then walked out the door with Grace in her arms.
