Chapter 19

No one seemed to know what to say to Brian's statement.

Leon watched as both men made different calls, if he had to take a guess he would bet that one of them was informing Brian of their situation. It wasn't going to be easy to stay away from the blond, especially for Jesse. He knew that the younger of the two had always had a close bond with Brian and the separation in Los Angeles had been hard for him. Now though it would most likely make Jesse even more uneasy because of the fact that Brian wasn't near them. Leon could only hope that Dom and the rest would make sure that Brian wouldn't come looking for them.

"I don't think Bri will like us not being there with him," Jesse said as he started to bite his nails.

Leon had to stop himself from telling Jesse to stop doing that since it had been a while. He remembered that Jesse had stopped with that habit after he had a long talk with Brian, he never had found out what the blond had said but whatever it had been it had made Jesse stop biting his nails. Not even after the blond had disappeared had the younger man had gone back on that habit.

"It will be safer this way," Leon said when he noticed that Jesse was looking at the door leading towards the exit. "If we don't stay here until the right time to appear we will only endanger Brian and the baby and we can't afford that."

"Doesn't mean I like being far from him while he is pregnant," Jesse said crossing his arms as he went up to Leon and lean his head against the man's chest.

Leon stayed silent knowing that if he said anything else Jesse would make a run for it, all he could do right now was keep the younger man safe. He watched as the other two that had helped them stay safe were looking in their direction every once in a while before talking with the woman that would be staying with them most of the time. He knew the other two would start going around to make sure that Brian was safe and that everything was prepare for the time when they would take down Dante DeAngelo.

He looked at the text on his phone before looking at the person next to him, his orders were precise and he had to act now. He knew that they were taking a risk in getting rid of the one that was with him, but if they didn't they ran the risk of De Angelo finding out that there was someone in his organization that was working against him. Without giving away what he was going to do, he turned towards his things before taking out a knife and killing that man next to him quickly and without any struggle. It was a good thing he had the element of surprise on his side, now he had to get rid of the body without raising any kind of suspicion from his side. He knew that there was probably someone else watching him and if he didn't act carefully there was a risk that he would be the one in a body bag and not the just the idiot on the ground.

'Well at least I know that they will be safe for a couple of hours,' he thought as he took one last look at the house in front of him.

Vince watched as Dom held Brian, trying to keep the blond calm. It wasn't something easy as all of them knew that Brian had a soft spot for Jesse, and to find out that neither Jesse or Leon would be able to be with them anymore was something they never thought would happen. Vince held Mia and Letty as they watched the pair on the couch, Roman seemed to be unease as he looked out the window. It was as if no one knew what to do, Roman took a deep breath before looking at him directly.

"I'm going back to Tej's and inform him of the new development. I'm sure that things will start to heat up and we can't afford be caught by surprise once more," Roman finally said before going up to Dom and Brian.

"Stay safe and keep me updated," Brian managed to say before closing his eyes as exhaustion finally got to him.

"Try to see if the doc can come back soon, I want to make sure that Brian and the baby are okay after this," Dom said looking at Roman for a moment before carrying Brian and taking him in what they knew was the blonde's room.

Vince watched as Roman looked at his friend's retreating back before looking at them once more.

"Don't let them go out, it's not safe for either of them to go out of this house right now. I need to find out what happen first and with Brian in the state he is currently in I don't wish to stress him more than what it's actually necessary," Roman pause for a moment and looked away. "I don't know if it's wrong to say this, but I hope that Brian has the baby before De Angelo takes action."

Vince felt Mia freeze at the man's words but he knew that they needed to hear it now, because once Dom did they would have to support him. It was no secret that Dom love Brian, and while things didn't seem to be going back to how they were in Los Angeles, they all knew that Dom wouldn't give up on the blond. It was times like this that Vince saw why Brian trusted Roman even when he didn't seem to like the man taking some kind of action.

"We first to hope that his pregnancy doesn't become a high risk one," Letty said in a soft tone as if she was afraid that Brian or Dom would hear them. Vince tighten his hold on her, it was rare to hear Letty use that tone, she was one of the strongest women she knew and to hear her use that soft tone only make them worry slightly.

"That's all we can hope for," Vince said.

Roman nodded once before leaving through the side door that lead towards the garage in order to not be out in the open. It seemed that they would have to make sure that all the cars were bullet proof. Things seemed to be changing and they could only hope for the best in their current situation.

Dante watched as Michael worked, the man seemed to be on a mission in finding out everything that was going on in the state. It wasn't like they had planned to make this trip this long, but it was something they had to end up doing. It was a good thing that Carter wasn't a problem anymore, and not that his Treasure had lost two of his family members it would be easier to get the blond to come to him. If the blond didn't come to him than he would eliminate those close to the blond one by one. The only ones he wanted to take of personally were Pearce and the older Toretto either way.

"Should I inform our contacts that Carter Verone is no longer part of this world and that you have taken over his business?" Michael asked suddenly looking up from the laptop.

De Angelo looked at the man that seemed to know his every move, he knew it was dangerous to trust anyone in this business but Michael hasn't betray him once. The man had actually found those that tried to infiltrate his organization to try and kill him. Since it was well known that he had someone that seemed to know when there was a traitor in his organization his enemies had stopped trying to send infiltrators.

"Not right now, I want O'Conner with me before we do that," De Angelo said as he looked out the window.

"As you wish Boss," Michael answered at once as he went back to the laptop to finish what he was doing before closing it and giving it to Dante once more.

Dom sat at the edge of the bed as he watch Brian sleep, he hope that everything would turn out for the better. He felt like he failed his family, especially from the way that Brian had announced that Jesse and Leon wouldn't be joining them. It was as if the blond was telling them that the pair was dead, he hope that wasn't the case but until he saw them with his own eyes he wouldn't really be able to know what was going on anymore. He could only follow the plans and keep up with both Tej and Roman. He needed to know what was going on in more detail, and until that happened he wouldn't really be able to protect Brian to the best of his abilities. Right now though Brian needed him more.

'Seems like the world is against us being happy,' Dom thought as he took one of Brian's hands in between his. 'I will not allow anything to happen to you, I'll do my best to protect the two of you.'

Anaki: Okay so I know it's been a long time since I last updated this fic or any of my fics really. I really won't go into detail, I'm just going to say that life got in the way and I lost inspiration in my writing. I didn't know how to continue and forgot where I was going with my fics. That is until recently I not only remember but started to find my want to keep writing. Your comments really helped in the regard, they always brought a smile and my wish to return to one of the things I love to do. So thank you to everyone that took time to comment/review even when I have taken this long to update my stories. I will continue with the other two soon, I'm working on the new chapter for Fighting Together so expect that to come soon. I can't promise a time but I'll do my best to update it soon.

Anyways, hope you liked this chapter. Hoping to read your thoughts. :) :) :)

Until Next Time
