Continued from previous chapter….
Vince slid the ring onto Ebony's finger and kissed her on the lips, sealing the deal. Everyone clapped and whistled. Dom stood up to go check on the hamburgers and was caught off guard when Serena jumped on his back. He staggered, caught himself and boosted her on with his arms, lifting her up into a position where he could walk without falling over.
"See, I knew you missed it," she told him, rubbing his head playfully.
He walked over to the barbeque and slid her off. "Yeah, I do actually." He smiled at her, brushing her hair from her face. "I miss having you around."
"I come by after college and work all the time. But I am married and I do have a life of my own," she told him.
"My little sister…all grown up," he sighed. "One of you is marred and the other having a baby. God you grew up so fast."
"Yeah, I know," she told him, putting her chin on his shoulder.
"What are you two talking about?" Mia asked, standing next to Serena as Dom flipped the hamburgers.
"About your chubbiness," Serena teased, patting her round belly.
"Shut up," Mia chuckled, touching her stomach.
"Don't hate me cuz I'm thin," Serena told her.
"I pity you because you're dumb," Mia retorted.
"I'd hit you, but I don't want to damage the baby, with Brian's genes it's lame enough," Serena smiled, drinking her Snapple.
"Will both of you be nice," Letty said, stepping in on Dom's other side, her arm around his waist. "See because the two of you he's been bald for a long time."
"No," Dom corrected her with a grin. "Because the three of you."
"God, you can just tell the three of you are related," Letty rolled her eyes.
"That's a good thing,' Dom told her, closing the lid again. "It's the Toretto way."
"Yup," Serena and Mia nodded.
Letty laughed. "I better go get this beer back to Vince before he beats Carissa with his empty bottle. She's martin of again and Chaz has given up on stopping her."
"I better go help you," Serena sighed. She kissed Dom's cheek. "I need to go shut her up before she beats Vince and humiliates him in front of his new fiancé."
Dom nodded and grabbed a new beer from the ice chest handing Mia a Snapple.
"So you're moving out huh?" he asked, twisting of the cap and chucking it into the trashcan.
"Yeah," she nodded. "I'm leaving with Brian tonight."
"The house is going to feel so empty with you and Serena gone now…I don't care how many people live here, without you two it's empty."
"We visit Dom. You know I will and Serena does.'
"You two have lives of your own and you're going to have a baby…its something I knew since I raised you both, I just never thought time would go by so fast."
"It does Dom…but it doesn't mean things have to change. Because they never will. Serena and I will always be your baby sisters. We'll always be family. The way I see it, this brings us all the more closer."
He nodded, "That's true."
"And you'll have kids of your own someday and the feeling to be needed will come back. So you see, family brings us closer together."
Dom smiled, fully understanding what she was saying, "Hey Mia."
She turned around to look at him.
"It gives Dad's saying a whole new meaning,' he told her and she smiled nodding.
"Yeah it does Dom," she walked back over to Brian and Dom just stood there watching them all for the time being. Watching his friends and family laugh and joke together. Letty caught his eyes and gestured him over. He grinned, sitting next to her on the bench with his growing family. Glancing at his sisters and seeing their happiness spread on their faces along with everyone else made him smile as well, the emptiness he'd been feeling completely washed away by the sense of warmth he got from this.
Mia was right. Just because they were moving out doesn't mean things would change, least not for the worse. Blood was thicker than water and would always be that way no matter how much water was between them.
It wasn't the end of anything, but the beginning of everything. A whole new way to start it up.
THIS IS WHERE I SAY SO LONG. I'M GLAD YOU ALL STUCK THROUGH AND READ THIS. YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH THAT MEANS TO ME AND HOW MUCH YOUR REVIEWS KEPT ME GOING. I HAD PLANNED TO STOP WRITING THIS STORY BUT YOU GUYS MOTIVATED ME TO FINISH…THAN You for ALL THE POSITIVE REVIEWS.
