Dotty Family Moments.

First Time Mommy

(just a little story about Letty and baby Brian basically becoming closer. Also that picture that I put at the top is one f my favourites the look of pure love and affection from her to Dom is unrivaled. )

Letty had had a hard time adjusting to Motherhood. She was trying to form a bond with a kid that wasn't even hers. It was difficult and took its toll on her and made her question if she was good enough. Her husband Dom, however, seemed to be a natural at it. He was so confident with his son, always being able to make him laugh and smile. and it honestly made her a bit upset though she would never say it aloud. She one day wished that she could have a relationship with the little boy.

One day she had been sitting in her chair, while Dom was busy out back in the garage working on his father's charger, she was alone with only Brian for company who was playing happily in his little play pen. She was reading a magazine when she felt a little tug on her left pant leg. When she lowered the magazine, she found little Brian's big curious eyes staring at her, although he had a dummy in his mouth he still was wearing a big smile across his face. Letty put aside her magazine and looked at Brian then she looked over at the playpen and asked in a silly voice "how did you get out of that playpen, bubba?" as she lifted him up and to her surprise he didn't start crying. She looked into his wonderful light brown eyes and just took the time to take in all his little features. Although he was only 7 months old there was so much Dom in his little face. The infant only smiled at his step mother. Letty didn't really know what to do. Brian had never come to her for attention, so this was new to her. "so bubba, do you want to sit here with me?" she asked the infant as she snuggled him closer. The boy just got comfortable and layed his head on Letty's side and peacefully fell asleep. Letty felt a swell of joy, But kept herself cool for the sake of the sleeping boy beside her. She, as if by instinct, put her arm around his tiny body and held him close. She was loving this moment so much. Finally she felt closer to her step son.

Dom walked in and called out for Letty. "Let, you in here?" he called. When he found her she gave him THE eyes and put her finger to her lips and pointed to the sleeping bundle beside her. Dom felt a shiver get sent down his spine and quickly shut up before he admired the site. Brian stirred slightly before snuggling deeper into Letty's side before cooing. Letty had never felt so happy in all her life finally she was feeling accepted in this crazy new family of hers.

When little Brian woke up, he did so with a small start. He whimpered and looked like he was going to start crying. Letty, instead of calling Dom, tried to comfort him. She placed him on her knees and said "hey bubba, did you have a nice nap?" she asked with a big smile and silly voice, silently praying that he would calm down for her. By whatever God had listed to her prayers he didn't start crying and instead started laughing and wiggling his little feet around." I'll take that as a yes then" Letty said in the same silly voice. She continued to play with little Brian while he laughed to his hearts content, Dom was in the kitchen preparing dinner. All he could hear was laughing from his wife and son which made him smile at the thought of his wife and son finally bonding.

Next thing he heard, however made his heart skip a beat as he found himself running into the living room with a knife in hand ready to attack, it had been laughter then Letty stopped and called out his name in what seemed like a panicked tone. You never mess with Dom's family and whoever had made Letty panic would pay the price.

He opened the door and immediately bombarded Letty with questions "let! , what happened, what's wrong?" he stopped when he just saw his wife staring at Brian and Brian staring back at her. "Is Brian OK?" he asked. Letty tried to get a voice out but was too in shock over what happened. " he... He said his first... Word" Letty siad barely above a whisper. Dom felt a weight being lifted up off of him and placed the knife down on the table. He grew excited "really? What was it?" he asked. Letty now had tears welled up in her eyes, she shakily took a sharp breath. "he... He said mama." at the mention of the word mama, Brian said it again "mama" he snuggled into Letty's side happily, completely un aware that he had done anything out of the ordinary. "good job, son" Dom siad as he rubbed his sons cheek. Letty was still processing what the baby just said. "I can't believe he said mama as his first word" she said. "I haven't been able to bond with him and in the space of a day he calls me mama" she says more to herself aloud than Dom "guess that just shows you have a way with us Torreto men, right buddy?" Dom stated to the boy and Letty. Brian just giggled and hugged Letty some more. "mama" he said again. Letty held him close.

"I'll always be your mama, little man."she said as she kissed his small head, earning more coos and giggles from the baby. Dom had finished making dinner and called Letty. Letty came in with Brian and placed him in his high chair beside Dom and went to take her seat on the other side of Dom, as she did however, Brian started crying. "awww what's up bud?" Dom asked his son. Brian made grabbing motions with his hands "mama, mama" he called out. "Letty, I think we have a momma's boy on our hands ." Dom laughed. "come here, bubba. Letty took the boy in her arms and he calmed down. Dom moved the high chair in between her and himself. Letty placed him in the chair again and sat down. This time the boy smiled. Both Dom and Letty took go's feeding him and themselves.

Later they were relaxing in their living room barely watching whatever was on the TV as Letty was playing with little Brian's hands and feet and laughing at Brian's screeching. Dom loved seeing them together having fun.

Alas, all good things must come to an end and it was bedtime for the little Torreto. Dom layed him down in his little crib. "night, buddy." he kissed his little forehead, then moved aside to let Letty say her goodnight. "night bubba, love you." she too kisses his forehead as she and Dom backed away hearing his little snores as they turned off the light.

The two parents also were off to bed. Letty was all smiles, "you're getting good at this mother gig, baby." le said as they snuggled close together. "of course I am." Letty replied with fake smugness. "I'm serious, Let" Dom said. "he's really starting to warm to you." Letty smiled into his chest. "I like that he is. I was worried he'd grow up to hate me. That would not be good." Dom chuckled. "he's part me, Let. There is no way he'd grow up to hate you. It would have just taken longer than we would have liked. Still, he's just like I am." Letty looked playfully into his eyes. "and what would you be, baby." she asked flirtatiously. "in love with a goddess." he said as he kissed her. The two just layed peacefully in each others arms as they let sleep take them over for the night... Or at least until little Brian woke up crying for something in the unreasonable hours of the morning.

The end.

(this is definitely my longest one yet. Hope you enjoyed it. More to come soon.)
