A/N: Sorry this update took so long. College still takes up most of my time, but I have NOT forgot about this story. I intend on finishing it during Spring Break. Again, thank you to all those who have reviewed. Enjoy :)

His words come as a relief to Letty, but tears still well into her eyes. Dom has her pressed so close against his body that she can feel his heart beating, the same heart she knows is aching from her unwillingness to have a child of their own. It only makes her feel worse and her tears finally splash onto her cheeks as her bottom lip begins to quiver.

Just as a sob is about to escape from her mouth, Dom crashes his lips onto hers, as if he's swallowing her pain. He detaches his firm grip on her arms and brings his hands up to cup her face with a softer touch. Letty hesitates for a moment-surprised by his sudden affection-but soon reacts and sinks her lips deeply into his as she lays her hands onto his chest. It's clear their current dilemma is being put on hold.

As he begins to navigate them toward the bed he breaks away in brief spurts in order to shed himself and Letty of their clothing.

When they reach the foot of the bed, Dom reluctantly pulls away again, gently pushing Letty back onto the bed and looms over her in a domineering yet gentle manner. He looks into her eyes sternly as he brings his face closer to hers and tells her," Don't ever say or think stupid shit like that again."

He doesn't wait for a response, he merely picks back up where he left off and finds her mouth once more as his hands roam over her body. His mouth is clearly on a downward journey as he caresses her lips, trails hot kisses down her neck, makes a lengthy stop at her breasts to tease her nipples and finally positions himself between her legs.

Letty moans softly as he wastes no time and immediately dives in with his tongue. After begin together for so long, he knows exactly where to focus in on, and begins working his tongue painfully slow before darting faster in a way that makes her grasp the sheets and arch her back in pleasure. He's driving her insane by the way he's working his tongue and she doesn't want it to stop.

But eventually he starts slowing down and pulls away.

Her mouth opens to protest, but she throws her head back and elicits a moan instead by the way he comes up and slides himself into her in one swift thrust.

He keeps the pace slow and steady for awhile, concentrating on kissing and touching her in ways that remind her that he would never want to divulge in anyone else but her.

With much encouragement from Letty, and because he knows she prefers it, his thrusts slowly start becoming harder and faster. Instinctively, she digs her hands into the skin of his back as he drives forcefully into her. She grips the heels of her feet into the mattress and correctly times her hips to clash as hard as possible against his until Dom collapses on top of her, both of them panting.

Neither of them speak afterward, but Dom lays beside Letty, snaking his arm around her as they fall asleep.

It's well into the afternoon when Letty awakens. She smiles as she still feels Dom beside her with his arm firmly placed around her. This is what she's missed these last couple of days.

She tries to slowly peel the covers back from her unclothed body and ease out of Dom's grasp without waking him, but once she sits up, his arm is immediately pulling her back down.

"Where do you think you're going?" he asks, his voice thick with sleep.

"To take a shower," she tells him, before offering, "You could join me."

He yawns loudly and scoots over a bit to allow her to roll onto her back. He stares at her for a moment before speaking, "We need to talk first."

Letty swallows and nods her head, "Alright. Let's talk.

He idly begins tracing patters over stomach as he starts talking, "I know I shouldn't have just said let's have a baby out of the blue. And I'm not mad that you don't want a baby, I"m-"

"Really?" Letty interrupts to ask incredulously. "Not mad?"

He chuckles, "Okay, maybe I am, but what pissed me off the most was how you just said no without seriously thinking about it. You didn't even-"

Letty's sigh interrupts him and she's about to speak when he places a finger on her lips and continues," Like I was saying, you didn't even take a step back and really think about what our future could be like. And that's what hurt the most, that you didn't even consider it. You just crushed all possibilities of us having a baby like it was nothing. All I'm asking now, Let, is that you at least take it into some serious consideration."

He retracts his fingers from her lips and waits for her to reply. She remains silent, taking in his explanation and his proposal. As she retrieves her initial reaction to the whole thing, her reluctance to truly assess the situation was unfair. This whole time she was praying Dom would be the more understanding one, but it was her own self that was unwilling to properly take his feelings and wants into consideration.

"Alright, I will. I'll seriously think about it" she says softly, before adamantly adding, "but don't rush me, Dom."

A smile washes over his face, "I won't. Take all the time you need."

"And what if I still don't want a kid?" she asks suddenly. "What happens then?"

"Well, I think as long as you truly consider it, then we should still be okay," he tries to assure her. His use of 'I think" and 'should' slightly scare her, but she trusts him enough to know that no matter what they'll still be okay.

She finally sits up and Dom doesn't stop her from leaving the bed this time. In fact he follows her into the bathroom to share a shower.

By evening they're pulling into Brian and Mia's drive way in Dom's black charger. When they enter their house Mia is surprised to see them holding hands but relieved nonetheless that they're clearly not fighting anymore. Dom immediately takes Audrey and her bottle and offers to feed her. He takes a seat on the couch while Letty saunters off with Mia toward the backyard, where Brian is grilling.

Before they walk through the door, Mia looks up at Letty and smiles, "I'm so glad you too are alright now."

"Thanks," Letty says, as they join Brian outside.

"What's up, Letty?" Brian greets, as he uses tongs to turn over pieces of chicken.

"When the hell did you learn how to barbecue?" Letty asks laughing, clearly surprised by the scene.

"It's not rocket science," he confidently answers, as he starts brushing on a layer of Mia's homemade sauce.

Mia discretely rolls her eyes as she goes over to the grill and starts helping her husband, and when he's not looking silently mouths to Letty, "I taught him."

Letty fights back her chuckle and turns to watch Dom with his niece through glass windows. The smile that adorns his face is of complete bliss, and she cannot but admire the state of happiness he's in. And for the first time, she allows the thought of having a child of their own to occupy her mind.
