A/N: I am a very bad person ( hangs head in shame)
I left this fic for so long, everybody probably thought I wasn't coming back.
I give you all free rights to hate me a lot!
( please still review though or I will be very sad)
This chappies kind of short and I hate to say it, but the story comes to an end with this chapter.
( author ducks to avoid various objects thrown by readers)
I know, I know! I'm bad! But I couldn't think of any other way to end the fic!
There will be a sequel up in a week or two, focusing more on the kids, but it will include the answers to the poll from a long time ago, that I didn't fit into the story here.
Luv you all
Please check out the sequel

"Dom, it's Letty. I'm taking Lee back to your house, okay ?"
"Yeah. I'm almost there in fact. But, Letty...."
"Yeah ?"
He sighed and it sounded like he was struggling to find the right words.
"After you drop Lee off, can you stay for a little while ? I need to talk to you."
"Sure."
"All right. I'll see you when you get to the house."
Letty hung up the phone, feeling more than a little confused.
"So, what'd he say ?"
Lee was sitting in the passenger seat beside Letty, with her feet tucked up under her legs.
"He wants to talk."
"What does that mean ?"
"I don't know."
The rest of the trip was spent in silence, but it was a companionable one.
When they pulled up in the driveway, Lee hopped out of the car and ran up the steps to Dom, who was sitting on the porch.
She threw her arms around him and gave him a hug and a kiss on the cheek.
"Papi, I'm sorry for the way that I was acting before."
He hugged her back and tousled her hair, good-naturedly.
"Don't worry, muchacha del bebé ( baby girl). I'm not mad."
" 'Kay. I'm going to go do homework now."
"All right. Tell your Aunt Mia I'll be in, in a little bit."
"Okay."
Lee waved good-bye to Letty and then disappeared inside the house.
Letty came up the stairs and stood beside Dom.
"What did you want to talk about ?"
"I've noticed how Lee seems to really like you. She likes spending time with you."
"Yeah."
"And I got to thinking that she would love it if you were around more. And I have to admit, I would like it a lot if you were around more often."
Letty looked at Dom curiously.
"What're you trying to say, Dom ?"
"What I'm saying Letty is that I'd like to give it another shot. It would go slowly at first, but I would like to try again."
Letty ducked her head to hide the tears forming in her eyes.
"I'd-" her voice cracked slightly, but she tried again. "I'd like that too, Dom."
Dom wrapped his arms around her, pulling her close.
It was such a comforting feeling being in his arms like this, but Letty knew there was something else she had to do.
She gently pulled out of the embrace and looked up at Dom.
"Dom, before we do anything else, there's someone I've got to talk to."
He nodded, somehow knowing what she meant.
She slid behind the wheel of her car and pulled out of the driveway, heading back onto the highway, to visit with a very confused and scared little boy who was hiding all his fears behind the facade of a man.
I think everything is going to be all right, she thought.
