Maddy

Summary: Now that things are changing Hobbs feels its the right time to tell Dom a secret he discovered two years ago when he was hunting Dom.

Note: Set after the seventh movie.

WARNING: SPANKING IN LATER CHAPTERS SO GO ELSEWHERE IF THAT'S NOT YOUR THING.

Chapter One: What you never knew.

Dom was sleeping next to Letty, it was still pretty early when he heard the phone ring. For someone to be calling that early there had to be something going on. He woke up enough to answer the phone. "Hello?"

"Hey Dom, " it was Hobbs on the other end and Dom sat up giving his attention to the man on the phone.

"Hobbs, what's up?" he asked wondering why Hobbs was calling.

"I got something to tell you and its not gonna be easy for you to hear, there's something I never told you and I been trying to find the right time to say something but the time just never seemed right...Remember in Brazil when I was tracking you guys? Well before I landed I did a detailed back ground check on you. Do you remember a girl named Lisa Sinclair?" Hobbs asked.

Dom at first wasn't sure where this talk was going and at the name of Lisa he was still a little confused..what did Lisa have to do with anything? "I lost my virginity to Lisa..and she lost hers to me. What's she got to do with anything?"

"Lisa died the year you were sentenced to prison." Hobbs told him.

Dom took that in and it hurt. Dom had very strong feelings about his woman, if he slept with them then he had loved them and once you love someone you never really stop loving them...you might move on and love other people but you never forget them. So this was shocking for Dom to hear.

"How did she die?" Dom asked and felt Letty sit up and place her arm in his just being there for him. She remember Lisa, she had no hard feelings towards Lisa even after Lisa left. It had broke Dom's heart but later Dom and Letty both knew that Lisa wouldn't have been able to walk the path Dom did and in a way Letty respected her for knowing her own limits. Even back then people thought Dom was trouble and he lived a very fast paced life and Lisa just couldn't keep up like Letty could. And there was nothing wrong with that.

"Apparently Shaw made the same discovery I did and when he sent men to capture Mia he also sent someone to the states to capture Madison Sinclair. Madison wasn't there but Lisa was murdered..she refused to tell them where to find Madison." Hobbs said.

Dom frowned "Who's Madison Sinclair?"

"Madison Sinclair is the reason Lisa moved away...Madison is your daughter Dom." Hobbs said feeling bad about saying this over the phone but he felt guilty over not telling Dom and just had to say something.

For a minute Dom forgot how to breathe. Letty had heard what Hobbs said and was shocked and suddenly Lisa's sudden running away didn't seem so strange. It made a lot more since now...of course Lisa had ran from Dom...she was carrying his baby and didn't want to make him feel responsible..she didn't want to be what stood in his way. Letty felt bad for Lisa...the fifteen year old must have been so miserable.

Dom was thinking the same thing, damn girl had been afraid of holding him back..no wonder she had forced her parents to move away. He also did the math in his head...Madison was probably about 12 now. Letty and Dom had gotten serious when they were fifteen but hadn't actually started dating til later...because of his relationship with Lisa Dom had been ready for Letty when he realized his feelings for her.

"Where is she now?" Dom asked needing to know.

"That's part of the reason I called you, she got into some trouble. She's been in foster care for the last two years and she met this boy, I don't have all the details but she's spinning out of control and the foster parents don't know how to handle her, when I heard about that I called you. As her biological father you could get custody of her if you want...if not they'll just keep moving her from foster home to foster home til she's 18. Lisa took your parental rights away from you by not telling you the truth..but this is your decision. As her father you have a say in what happens. " Hobbs explained.

Dom glanced at Letty and they seemed to both reach the same conclusion. "I'll take her. Bring whatever forms I need to sign to me so I can get them signed."

"I'll bring them over later, " Hobbs said.

"Thanks...and thank you for telling me the truth." Dom said then hug up cause there wasn't anything else to say.

Later in the day Letty was making Lunch. They had been reminiscing about the old days and how back then Lisa seemed to know what was meant to be before Dom and Letty did.

Hobbs showed up with the forms after Lunch. Dom signed them and because Letty was his wife she also signed them. Both Dom and Letty would get custody of Madison.

Hobbs took the papers to the Judge and the next day Letty and Dom showed up for a court hearing where the judged ruled in their favor granting them custody of 12 year old Madison Sinclair who's legal name was now Madison Toretto. Madison would be brought to their house the next day.

Dom had since then told Mia, Brian and the others and Mia and Brian came over with their two kids because Dom was anxious and Letty was just as excited. Mia was happy for both of them. Brian broke out the beer.

"To being a good father.." Brian smirked.

Dom nodded "To being a good father." the bottled clanked and they guys drank.

Mia put Jack and Riley to bed in one of the spare bedrooms.

When Dom and the gang had rebuild the house they added four bedrooms just in case. So there was plenty of room and Dom already knew what room he would put his daughter in.

"So did they show you a picture or anything?" Brian asked

Dom smiled and pulled out a picture that Hobbs had given him that was taken before Lisa's death...Lisa was in the picture too.

Brian looked at the picture..first he noticed the beautiful blonde woman with magnetic green eyes that seemed to freeze your very soul...and in her arms was a happy 9 year old girl with blonde hair and blue eyes. Lisa was wearing a long sleeve purple shirt and jeans while Madison was wearing a pink sweater and jeans.

"Cute kid." Brian said.

"Looks like her Mama." Dom said with a grin.

"Yeah, but she's got her daddy's eyes." Letty leaned over Dom now and kissed him.

Later when it was time to sleep Dom just couldn't sleep. He needed to see his daughter. Letty sat with him.

Brian and Mia ended up sleeping over and in the morning Letty and Dom together started to make breakfast for everyone.

Brian and Mia got up and helped with clean up and getting plates together. "What time is she suppose to get here?" Mia asked

"Don't know, they just said they were bringing her today." Letty said feeling like she was running out of energy.

After breakfast Mia took Jack outside to play while Letty went to take a nap and Dom and Brian looked after Riley.

Three hours later Riley and Jack were down for their nap and Letty and Dom who had gone to join Letty for a nap finally got up. They'd taken a two hour nap so they were a little more rested but they'd sleep more tonight. Mia saw Hobbs pull into the drive way. "Dom! He's here." she called loud so they could all hear.

Dom and Letty rushed out and so did Brian but nobody moved they all just watched as Hobbs got out of the car and opened the back door.

The little girl from the picture had changed a lot. Gone was the happy child with the laughing eyes. In her place was a sad girl who's eyes seemed cold and broken. Her blonde hair hung around her face like a curtain she was trying to hide behind. She clutched a backpack to her chest and followed Hobbs slowly to the door.

Hobbs knocked on the door and Dom opened it with Letty at his side.

Madison was wearing a long green long sleeve shirt and jeans. "Madison this is Domonic Toretto. Your father. Dom this is Madison."

Before Dom could greet her she glared up at Hobbs "Maddy."

Hobbs frowned "Right, Maddy. Sorry. "

Dom just looked at the kid for a few minutes and then gave her what he hoped was an encouraging smile "Hi Maddy, this is my wife Letty. Come on in." He opened the door wide now to let them both in.

Maddy came in and Hobbs followed her having promised to stay til she got settled in. Dom closed the door and Maddy spotted Brian and Mia.

"Hi Maddy, I'm your Aunt Mia and this is my Husband Brian." Mia introduced herself.

Maddy didn't really respond other then to nod at them. Mia could tell how scared she was and she couldn't blame the kid, new people, new place. It had to be scary for her.

"So Maddy, do you wanna see your room?" Letty asked and didn't miss the insecure look on the kids face.

Maddy looked over at Letty and nodded. Anything to get away from all these people. "Can Hobbs come too?" she asked shyly.

Letty glanced at Hobbs who just smiled at the girl "I'll be up soon okay? I'm just gonna tell your daddy some stuff and we'll get you settled in."

Maddy nodded "Okay." then she followed Letty up the stairs and down the hall. "I really hope you like your room, we can go shopping later for curtains and bed sheets and stuff. I wasn't sure what colors you like so we left it as it is for now." she opened the door and watched Maddy go in the room which was dull with a white carpet and green walls that Maddy instantly made a face at. Letty noticed "We can paint the walls another color if you want."

Maddy nodded "I want." she stated a small smile slipped into place and she tentatively placed her bag on the bed "Is that all your stuff?" Letty asked

Again Maddy nodded in response. Letty wondered why the girl seem to not want to talk that much. Was she that shy? Then Letty remembered Lisa...it had taken forever for Lisa to come out of her shell. She had been painfully shy back in the day...apparently her daughter had inherited that shyness.

Meanwhile downstairs Hobbs told Dom, Mia and Brian a little about Maddy's past. Dom got pissed, no wonder the girl was so insecure. She no longer trusted men and now she was being forced into living with a man she didn't know. Dom hoped that this was something they could work through...Hobbs also told Dom about Maddy's dangerous addiction so that he could be on the look out for it. Dom was shocked to hear about that one. Mia was too. Brian wasn't too surprised. Hobbs then went up and Letty came down to find out what Hobbs had told Dom.

"What did he say?" Letty asked.

"Well first off after Lisa passed away and she was placed in that first foster home there was an older boy who kept feeling her up. Hobbs says she doesn't trust guys and thinks they are all out to hurt her. We're gonna have to show her she's wrong on that one...second after she was moved from that home and placed in the most recent one she started cutting herself. Apparently she dug the blade out of a pencil sharpener and cut herself with it. " Dom explained while sitting down.

Letty sat down too after hearing that. Her behavior made a lot of sense now.

Upstairs Hobbs was helping Maddy unpack her stuff. Once he had everything put away he turned to her "Alright kid, I'm gonna have to go home. But I wanna tell you something. I wouldn't leave you here if I didn't trust these people...I won't ask you to trust them but do you think maybe you can trust me just a little? Or at least trust my judgment?"

Maddy thought about that and shrugged sitting on the bed "I don't really have a choice in the matter now do I..." she stated.

Hobbs sighed not about to get into a fight with her "Have a good night Madison, you have my number and the phone I got you call me if you need anything." he said and then went down the stairs saying bye to the others he then left.

Brian and Mia decided it was time to take the kids home but were glad they had at least stayed to meet Madison. So they left with the kids leaving just Letty, Dom and Madison.

"Now what?" Dom asked suddenly having no clue what to do.

"Now we see if she wants to go to the store and pick out bed sheets and stuff. " Letty smirked "Sides that might help make her feel more at home here."

"Yeah, I think I'll stay and fix dinner. I'll let you girls do the shopping." he smirked

Letty kissed him she'd let him get away with it this time.

Letty went upstairs to talk to Madison "Hey Maddy, come on, we're going to the store to pick out your sheets and curtains...and on the way you can think about anything else you might want like maybe what color you want to paint the walls?" Letty suggested.

Maddy at first wasn't too thrilled about the idea but it would get her out of the dull bedroom and give her some idea of what kind of stores were in this area.

"You girls have fun." Dom said as they headed out he started dinner.

The drive to the store was quiet and only the music in the car broke the silence.

Once in the store Letty headed to the isle full of bed sheets, pillows and comforters.

"Okay, pick anything you want." Letty said. Money wasn't an object at the moment.

"Are you sure?" Maddy asked

"yeah I'm sure. Pick something out." Letty encouraged.

Maddy went over and looked at all the different styles and colors and designs. She picked up a set of pink sheets for $9.95 and then a pink furry blanket with sparkles on it.

Letty almost groaned because clearly the kid liked the color pink, but on the other hand she was glad Madison was finding stuff she liked.

"Anything else you want in this isle?" Letty asked and Maddy shook her head no.

"Alright lets go look at the paint and see if we can't pick out a color for the wall. We can paint it together this weekend if you want." Letty said then led her to the paint isle.

There were lots of different colors and shades to chose from and this took longer.

After about ten minutes Madison was now only looking at two colors trying to chose one. She was looking at a light shade of pink titled Cotton Candy and a light shade of purple titled orchid.

"I want this color." Maddy said deciding on the Cotton Candy light pink shade. Letty added that to the cart "Anything else you can think of?" Letty asked she had already grabbed mini blinds for the windows and Maddy had said no curtains for now so that would come later.

Maddy was quiet for a moment unsure if she should say anything but Letty noticed "You don't have to be shy, you can ask for anything you want." Letty told her.

Maddy looked at her shyly for another few moments gathering her courage and then said "Can I put pink in my hair?" she asked

Letty assumed that she meant hair dye and frowned a little "Um...I think we better talk to your dad about that one first sweetie. "

Maddy understood that and it was better then a outright no. "Okay, I can't think of anything else." Maddy said

Letty headed to the check out lane and paid for everything and then piled it all in the car and drove back to the house.

Letty grabbed the paint and Maddy grabbed for everything else so that Letty didn't have to carry everything.

They got in the house and Dom came over to take everything for them "I'll take those." he said with a smile and carried them to the bedroom.

Maddy followed and Letty went to the stove to finish up what Dom had started. She'd enjoyed the shopping trip but she also felt it would be hard to adjust especially since this girl was clearly very different from them. But of course Letty was willing to embrace Madison's place in their life.

In the room Maddy watched Dom set the stuff down.

"So uh..what do I call you?" she asked and Dom looked over at her.

"Well, If you want you can call me dad...I know we just met but I don't feel right about you calling me Dom so I'd say that's out...but if you don't wanna call me dad we can think of something else for you to call me." Dom said being honest with her.

"Okay...hey dad would you maybe let me dye my hair pink? Or maybe just like pink streaks?" She asked saying dad experimentally.

Dom was a little surprised..dad huh? Well that was okay with him then the rest of what she said registered.

She wanted to dye her hair pink?

"Pink streaks maybe, pink hair? I'd have to say no. But I don't see anything wrong with streaks." Dom said again being honest because that was the only way she would ever trust him. He also made a note to himself to look into that sort of stuff online and do some research on it.

"Sounds like a plan, I'm gonna set up my bed now." Maddy said and Dom went down stairs letting her make her bed the way she wanted to make it.

Once she was done she heard Letty call up to her "Maddy, dinners ready."

Maddy went down stairs and sat at the table finding that Letty already made her plate, or Dom had made her plate she wasn't sure but she liked what she saw.

Hamburgers, mac and cheese, Mashed potatoes and green beans.

On the table were all the condiments you could need and all the toppings you might want. All Maddy added to her burger though was cheese and Mayonnaise. Dom and Letty both paid close attention to find out what she liked, what she didn't like and how much she liked what.

She ate the burger with no trouble and the mashed potatoes and mac and cheese too, the green beans she sorta forced down but she clearly didn't like them. Dom had to smile cause even though she didn't like them she was a trooper and ate them.

After dinner Maddy sat in a chair while Dom and Letty cuddled on the couch all of them watching Tv. Maddy wasn't interested in the show which involved cars and was really tired from the busy day. Her days normally weren't this busy and the next time Letty glanced over to check on her she found her passed out in the chair. She elbowed Dom lightly who looked over and smirked. She may be 12 but that was cute.

"Must have been tired." Dom said

"Busy day," Letty figured and they continued watching the show til it was over.

By then Dom was sure that Maddy was totally asleep and knew it was okay to pick her up now. He lifted her and carried her up the stairs, she wasn't heavy, in fact it was almost comforting to feel the kid in his arms. He carried her into the bedroom and Letty followed pulling back the covers and Dom put her in bed and covered her up, stroked her hair and smiled "Night Maddy." He kissed her forehead and then watched as Letty leaned over to kiss her forehead too saying gently "Night baby girl." she headed around the bed took Dom's hand and the two of them headed off to bed feeling exhausted and ready to sleep.

Several hours later at 5:32 in the morning Letty and Dom were jerked out of their sleep by a piercing scream. Letty was faster so she was up and running for Maddy's room but Dom wasn't far behind her. She opened the door and found Maddy thrashing around in the bed having a nightmare. She was still asleep.

Letty went over and Dom waited by the door thinking maybe he should let Letty handle this one. Maddy might react better if she woke up and found Letty instead of Dom. Dom was a guy after all so Letty might be more comforting.

Letty got on the bed pulling Maddy into her arms "Shh...shh Maddy...Maddy its okay...stop..Maddy stop...your okay I've got you." Letty said holding on as Maddy struggled still asleep...after a few more minutes finally Maddy calmed down and was once again sleeping peacefully.

Letty motioned for Dom to come in and Dom sat on the other side of the bed and Letty moved Maddy so that she was laying in Dom's arms instead. It took a moment but it felt right to Dom. He held onto her and Letty leaned over to kiss him saying after "She's okay, just a bad dream and that will stop after she gets more used to this place. Don't be afraid of her Dom, She needs you."

Dom thought again about how much he loved Letty because she could read him like a book. As for the girl in his arms, yeah, she needed him. But it wasn't til that moment that Dom realized...this was what was missing from his life, he loved his crew, his family and Letty but he hadn't known until today that he'd needed this girl too.

Letty began to hum hoping it would keep her calm and it worked like a charm, she slept peacefully the rest of the morning. Dom and Letty remained with her til it was time to fix breakfast.

TBC...

Next Time:

Dom gets a taste of how out of control Maddy can get sometimes. And Maddy starts school.

Other Note: During the discipline scenes I have decided that I will do things a tad bit different. Instead of it just being Dom there is going to be a scene where Letty also spanks her, not the same day and not for the same thing but I think Dom would only spank her as a last resort, Letty would do the same but as a woman she is more prone to what I call the mama bear syndrome but at the most she'll probably just give her a few swats.

Also I watched Furious Seven so I have some inspiration I may update some of my FATF stories but I make no promises. What did you guys think? I know I gave Dom a daughter once before but that story sucked this one is better. Working on the next chapter now.
