The New Driver (COMPLETE)

Third pov

The sand felt warm beneath her feet and her husband felt warm against her back. His shirt was open showing parts of the scars from the bomb.

Phoenix herself rested one of her hands beside Carter's on the rapidly growing baby bump. Apparently you start showing quickly with twins.

She'd already tuned out Roman's talk about tanning, instead focusing on the moment. Carter pressed a kiss to her shoulder.

No matter what he said she knew he wasn't that against being there.

"Just open your eyes man." Tej motioned to Brian, Mia and Jack.

"Beautiful." Rome agreed.

"It's where he belongs." Phoenix smiled.

Dom agreed. "Home. That's where he's always belonged."

"Things are gonna be different now."

Phoenix shifted to rest her head against her husbands shoulder. She could see Dom getting up.

"You aren't going to say goodbye?" Ramsey asked.

Dom looked over at his sister and his brother in all but blood. "It's never goodbye."

"So, you are my daughter in law."

Mariah Verone is both exactly what she expected and so far from it. It makes Phoenix dizzy.

"It's nice to meet you." She smiles.

There's something that passes by in the older woman's face, then she smiles warmly and takes her hand. "It's good to meet you too, now, has Carter been a good husband?"

Carter knew this was bound to be interesting (and embarrassing) but he kept close by, not wanting to let Phoenix fully out of his sight just yet. The mental wounds of the bomb where still too great and with her being pregnant now, Carter felt just a bit more calm knowing she was safe.

However, the man felt just a bit nervous about the fact that his wife seemingly got very well along with his mother. That can end in either one or two ways, neither good for him. Especially if both happens.

Either Mariah tells her as many embarrassing childhood stories as possible or she'll start visiting more.

Looking at them it's probably going to end up being both.

*************************************************

Having the twins was something that turned her world around, just like with their dad.

Santiago Mateo Verone.
Zoe Alma Catalina Verone.

Two more lights in her life that made her happy. And that's despite thinking that kids wasn't really in the books when she was a kid.

"I love you three so much."

Carter had taken a nap on the couch with both babies sleeping on his chest.

He would never had napped like that on the couch before, buuuuuuut while babies are adorable (most of the time) they are also time demanding (thank god they have a nanny too) and somewhat....... exhausting at times.

"Ready to head out, mi corazon?" He opened his eyes to look at her.

"Yup~ Just figured I'd say goodbye to the sunshine in my life first." She smiled, running her fingers through her husband's hair, lightly scratching his scalp. "You sure you're alright with them for the night?"

He turned his head to press a kiss to her hand. "We'll be fine. You've been waiting for this, go have fun."

They shared a kiss before Phoenix kissed the top of their kid's heads.

"I'll see you soon."

The race had been planned for two months, Tej, Suki, Jorge and everyone was coming. A sort of reunion.

"There's our Flame." Suki hugged her. "How have ya been girl?"

"I'm good. You?"

The two of them talked while cars slowly started gathering.

Both unaware of eyes watching them from the sidelines.

We are officially out of Fast7 and in Fast8.

I really fell for the twins names.

Vote and comment, it keeps me motivated :)
