Parenthood is always a struggle at first for any type of couple, but there is even more of a struggle when that couple is a set of street racers/ ex criminals.....and when that child enters their lives in a highly unorthodox way.
Little Brian's arrival was everything but traditional. He was kidnapped, used as blackmail, shot at, and had his birth mother killed in front of his innocent Brown eyes all before he was old enough to stand on his own little legs.
But that was all in the past now, while the memory of Elena, the newly formed parents tried to find their flow together, and so far so good.
Little Brian was definitely more his birth mother than his dad, despite his physical looks and love of cars. He was quiet, rarely cried, cold melt even the coldest of hearts with a single smile (which Letty always says he got from his daddy) he was quite literally, perfect.
Being only a year old, the new parents needed to get some supplies. Such as clothes, food, a stroller, a toddler crib, and a few toys. Little B, as he was later dubbed, was ecstatic with his new items.
They fell into a routine very quickly, life was great. Little B spent his time between naps, playing to his little hearts content with his parents, although he was definitely a Daddy's boy, it couldn't be over looked how he looked at Letty.
Although, sometimes things could go wrong, but in the end they turned out to be funny stories. Such as Dom trying to figure out how to set up a crib. He had flash backs to the buster doing the same thing back in Spain when little Jack was born.
Or the time that both parents learned there was a difference between baby shampoo and normal shampoo.
But one that won't get left down between any of the Family was Letty's stroller struggle.
Letty was famous for doing many things, she could fix any car by just hearing one rev of the engine, she could always tell what her man was thinking just by the slant in his shoulders and despite what anyone ever said about her kitchen skills, she made a damn fine chicken pasta salad. But it seemed like one thing she couldn't do, not due to her own skills, was set up a stroller.
Letty couldn't have seen it coming. She had seen Dom do it a thousand times, with Little B on his arm. All she had was pull the bars out, and flip the switch with her foot. Simple.....in theory.
She unloaded the stroller from the back of their car, and with Little B on her hip, she flipped out the handle bars. So far so good. "Look at that bubba, we're doing it". She said to Brian, who smiled at her.
She then went to put her foot under the stroller to flip the little hatch switch, this presented sn issue and suddenly in that moment she knew this was about to get difficult.
"Ok, bubba I'm just going to put you down here while I just pull the switch". She said as she placed Brian on his feet. Brian out his little hands in his overalls and watched intently.
Letty tried to push her leg down as far as it would go, but it sized up. "Crap" she strained as dh rubbed the back of her leg. "damn, now I'm really regretting not taking those yoga sessions with Mia when she was pregnant"
"Ok, Little B" she said as she clapped her hands trying to relieve the frustration. "glamours parenting isn't always an option, don't tell daddy what you are about to see, ok?". She brought her finger up to her lips and little Brian did the same.
She got down onto her stomach and crawled under the stroller. She reached around for the switch. Finally after what felt like sn eternity, Letty located the switch and pulled it. "Got it!" She said. Little Brian clapped his hands and said "yaaaayy"
When she did the rest unfolded. But now she had a new problem. She was now stuck under the stroller. "Maybe it would have been easier to try and carry him around" she pondered. Thankfully Letty was more than just a mentally strong woman, she was also a very physically strong woman. "B, stand back Incase this accidentally hits you" Letty instructed gently as Brian stood behind the rear fender of the car.
In two swift motions, Letty lifted the stroller up off herself and to the side as she got up. "Yaaaayy momma" little B said as he was bring strapped into the stroller. "Thank you, bubba. Now let's get our task done". She said as she began pushing the stoller. Making a mental note to talk with Dom about getting a harness for Brian instead.
The story has been spread around for weeks among the family. But not by little Brian. It turns out that Roman was getting food nearby and saw the whole thing. He said her would have helped but he was too busy trying not to choke because of how hard he was laughing.
Letty had to admit that she was close to choking him again, but decided it was best not to scare her child who was currently waiting for his next bit of food to be cut up so he could eat it. Instead she made a mental note to have a "chat" with him later.
The end.
(That's all for this chapter, this idea came to me when I was re-watching Fast and Furious 9 and noticed that at the end when Letty picks up little B, he is like half her height.

So I decided to have a little fun with that idea. Because.....why not, we all know Letty is a well respected and strong character, why not let her have a less than glamours moment. I hope you enjoyed reading. And I'll catch you lads and ladies in the next one.)
