Three Years to the Day After the Birth of Dom and Letty's second daughter.
Chapter 1 – Phone Call
Vinessa's third birthday party is just as big an event as the two before and her sister Ana's birthday parties before this. They were always extravagant affairs filled with family, food, and fun.
This year Vinessa is head over heels in love with all things Powerpuff Girls. Letty, Nola and Mia have spent enormous amounts of money to have things shipped from the old television show that Vinessa couldn't live without.
The party is in full swing with Vinessa, Ana, Luci, and Luci's little brother Liam running around playfully. Also in the for the party were Nico and his twin brother and sister Julio and Olívia.
The adults present at the Toretto house were, Dom, Letty, Mia, Brian, Tej and his wife, Talli, who he had met on a trip to India. Also, Roman and his girlfriend of the past year, Brianna, Rosa and her new husband Marco, Nola and Jamie. There were also some of the kids' friends and their parents.
"How did she get to be three already?" Dom asks putting his arm around Letty.
"The hell if I know. But I don't like it."
Nola walks back into the party with a huge present. She just smiles at them as she walks by.
"Another present?" Dom asks.
"Accept it. She's not changing."
Letty and Mia go inside to get the cake.
"How have those two been getting along?" Mia asks about her two little nieces.
"Like two wild animals trapped in a cage. They just cannot get along. I'm so sick of the fighting. And it's mostly Vin. She broke the arm off Lily last week."
Mia gasps. "Ana's had that doll forever!"
"Anyone else, no problems, perfect manners just like Ana. But when it comes to her sister." Letty sighs. "Ana wanted to go to live with Nola after their last fight. But Dom tore into them so bad that we haven't had any fighting since then."
"Good! They need to get along." Mia turns to face Letty and lowers her voice. "Speaking of Nola. Did I hear you say?"
"She lost the baby."
"Damnit!" Mia says. "That's…"
"Six. Seven, because of the twins."
"Oh my gosh!" Mia says clasping her hands to her mouth. "How is she holding up?"
Letty shakes her head.
They take the cake out and sing Happy Birthday to Vinessa and have cake. After the party guests from school and playgroups go home and the kids are in bed, the adults are sitting around talking. Jamie comes outside after completing a phone call.
"What's wrong Jay?" Nola asks walking to him and noting the look on his face.
"That call was from Kiyomi. It just came across her desk that…that Han died in a car explosion."
"What!"
"When!"
"He was supposed to be here!" Dom says clenching his jaw. "I tried calling him."
"Jamie when did this happen?" Mia asks tears pouring down her face.
"She says three days ago."
Nola walks past Jamie into the house.
"I got her." Letty says going after her friend.
"Apparently, he was in with some Japanese mob guys, the Yakuza."
"Damn!" Roman says.
"And it got him killed. Kiyomi didn't have all the details. She's supposed to call me in a few hours to let me know more."
Mia turns to Dominic.
"I know I can't stop you. Please come back safe to us! You have two little girls that need you."
She goes over to Brian and gives him a hug. "Don't do anything stupid! I need to know you're safe. I can't raise our babies alone."
"You won't. I'll be back."
Brian kisses his wife and wraps her in a hug his eyes meeting Dom's. They were going to find out what the hell happened to Han. And they were going over anyone or anything in their way.
Inside the house Letty finds Nola in the upstairs bathroom sitting on the floor crying her eyes out.
"Hey."
Nola tries to hurriedly wipe her face. Letty was in pain over Han, but Nola looked like she was in her own personal version of Hell.
"Nole, I really don't know what to say to you. I know you two were close."
"It's okay Letty. I should be comforting you. He was your friend much longer than he was mine. I'm sorry."
A new wave of sobs rock through her.
"So all the flirtation, was it more than that?"
Nola buries her hands in her face. Letty just sits and gives her a moment.
"If you don't count the two times we slept together and the fact…that I was in love with him."
Letty eyes widen at Nola's admissions.
"When did you sleep with him Nola?"
"The first night I ever met him and…four months ago at Christmas."
Letty quickly does the math in her head. Calculating the possible conception of the baby Nola just lost. Before she can say anything she looks up and sees Jamie in the doorway.
"Nola, let's go home. Now."
Nola wipes her face and obliges immediately, leaving Letty lost for words and sitting in shock. What the hell did Nola just tell her? What the hell had she been blind to all these years?
The only thing that shakes her from her thoughts are the sounds down the hall in her bedroom. Letty makes her way there to find Dom hurriedly packing a duffle bag.
"I guess we're going to Japan."
"We, as in Brian, Tej and I? Yep."
"Dom, don't start this bullshit! I'm going!"
"No, your ass is staying here to take care of our daughters. Ana and Vin need their mother!"
"Antonia and Vinessa need their father too! And I don't trust anyone to watch his back like I would."
"I don't know how long I'll be gone and I don't want both of us away from them that long."
"Don't give me that! Is Mia going? She'll take damn good care of them."
"No." Firm.
He turns his back on her and goes to the closet. When he comes back with something for the bag, Letty snatches it out of the way. He looks at her across the bed. He walks around the bed and stands in front of her.
"Listen to me Toretto. If I don't go, you don't go! If you try to go without me you will never regret anything more in your life."
Dom stares down at her, arms crossed, stance firm. He has to will himself not to direct his anger at Han's death towards this woman. She just had a knack for pissing him off at the wrong time.
"Letty I need to know what happened to Han."
"Was I or was I not there the night you met Han? Was I not there for the jobs in the South America? Or was that someone else?"
"That was you baby. You're still not going."
Letty drops the bag on the bed.
"Han was the first person that I got to see in three years of working for the Agency. He was the lifeline that pulled me through those last few weeks to get back to you. I want to know what happened to him. I loved him like he was my brother. If I don't go, you don't go. You decide."
Letty walks out of the bedroom and leaves Dom to make his decision.
Jamie and Nola walk into the immense quiet of their gigantic home.
"Dom and Brian are going to Tokyo to find out what happened to Han. I'm going to put them in touch with Tagawa to help them while they're there."
"I'm going with them."
Jamie turns away from her and walks upstairs. Nola follows him.
"Of course you are Nola. I'm not at all surprised."
"What do you want me to do? He was my friend. I care about finding out who did this to him."
"Friend." Jamie scoffs at her. "Everyone else is always before me Nola."
"I do everything for you! I love you Jamie."
"You won't marry me! How many times have I asked you? Begged you?"
"You know how I feel about marriage. It's not sacred to me anymore. I don't want to enter that hypocrisy again. But I'm committed to you. I'm flawed and I mess up but there's nothing I want more than you."
"Nothing?" Jamie stares at her."I can't do this with you anymore Nola. Commitment doesn't mean the same to me as it does to you. No marriage, you can't even..." Jamie stops abruptly.
He tries to walk away but she grabs his arm.
"I can't even what? What were you going to say?"
"Nothing." Jamie turns away from her.
"I can't WHAT!"
"You can't even have a fucking baby. And whenever you do get pregnant you lose them." Each word hitting her in the face like a slap. "But now you're all gung ho to go to Japan and avenge your dead boyfriend. But you won't consider a surrogate for me!"
"Yes I'd love to watch some other woman carry a baby for you! I'd love to see a constant reminder of my failures to you. Sign me up."
"Don't play the fucking victim. I heard you just now! I heard you. You fucked him at Christmas. How could you do that to me? Was it in our bed?"
"No!"
"Our house?"
"It was a stupid drunken mistake!"
"No you're the mistake. I was mistaken to be with you all these years. Everything you touch dies! I'm lucky to have made it this long. If you go with Toretto, don't expect me to be here when you come home."
Jamie storms out of their bedroom and out of their house. Nola falls to the floor in tears.
Mia and Brian get home and put Luci and Liam to bed. As soon as they are back in the hallway Mia runs into Brian's arms with tears running down her face.
"I can't believe he's gone."
They walk into their bedroom and sit on the bed.
"Why does all this stuff keep happening to our family? Why did he have to go to Tokyo? He could have settled down here and been happy and alive."
"I don't have those answers Mia. But I'm going to find out what happened to him and why it did."
"Don't risk your life for this. I need you to be the voice of reason during all this shit. It's damn sure not going to be my brother. Find out what happened. Do what you have to do, safely, and come home to me."
"Nothing is keeping me away for you or
our children. And Roman and Rosa are staying here to help out."
Mia nods her head. Brian kisses her gently and tears start to fall again.
"I love you."
"I love you too. Come home to me."
Brian lays her back on the bed letting their love making punctuate his promise of return.
Dom walks into the family room to find Letty sitting on the couch pulling her fingers through her hair repeatedly.
"You okay?"
"No, I just found out that one of the people I care most about in the world is dead."
He leans over the couch and rubs her shoulders. He grazes his lips across the back of her hair.
"We leave tomorrow at 10. The plane will be on the tarmac at 11."
The next morning Tej, Brian, Dom and Letty are at the airstrip ready to board the plane. Nola drives up and jumps out of her car.
"I'm sorry I'm late. I want to come."
Dom nods to Letty and they all get on the plane and head to Tokyo.
A/N- So I decided that I wanted to pull Tokyo Drift into this somehow. I figured what better way to rock the Toretto's domestic bliss than with news of Han's death. We already saw that Dom was there.
Let me know what you think of this story so far! I'm really excited for all the drama I have in store for this story.
Please review!
