(Set during end after Furious 7. I hope you enjoy)

Letty clutched her stomach. She felt incredibly nauseous. Being thrown down into a piano was not fun. The flashes she had occasionally been having were now more consistent. She assumed that was caused by the piano fall....or was it something else trying to find it's way out?

Dom was the first to notice she didn't look well. He raised his brow in an attempt to get her attention. Letty caught it and nodded that she was fine. Dom wasn't so sure.

--------------------------

Dom had said wheels up at sunrise. But he never showed up to her bedroom. Her mind flashes were getting worse. Her headache became intense. The nausea got worse but it felt oddly familiar. She experienced another flash.

She saw herself on the floor of what looked to be a small villa. Tears falling from her eyes. She was over the toilet gasping for air. That was the end.

Letty lay still, questioning what she had almost seen. She wasn't the best at making conclusions but she was almost certain that she didn't have a child so she wondered what it could have been they caused her to be like that in her memory.

------------------------------
In the middle of the night while she slept she had other flash. She saw herself and Mia in the house. Both crying. Mia looking angry. "How could he do this to you?" She questioned. "We didn't even know, Mia. It's not his fault".

--------------------------------

In the next flash she saw a monitor. She heard a strong ba-thump repeating itself constantly. "Alright, Mrs Toretto, baby looks to be healthy" she heard an unfamiliar voice say to her.

Letty shot awake. Dom who had just entered the room held his hands up in surrender. "It's only me" he said quietly. Letty sighed in relief. "Are you alright?" Dom asked as he lay down on the bed. "Ye... yeah, I'm ok. Where have you been?"

Dom proceeded to tell Letty of his escapade with the Buster and how they were going to return to LA to face Shaw once and for all.

--------------------------------------

Letty had dropped Dom off away from 1327 and was driving her car to rondevue with the others when her phone rang. "Hello?" She answered. "Letty? This is Cecelia, we spoke at the medical clinic. I think we found your files. The problem was that it wasn't under Letty Ortiz, it was Letty Toretto.

Letty was stunned to silence. Letty quickly hung up the phone. She pulled the car over and tried to steady her breathing. She had another flash, literally. Bright lights everywhere. She lay on a hospital bed. Giselle giving doctors orders. "She kept saying 'my baby'. Check to see if there's any damage". She instructed.

Another flash. "There's nothing here anymore. No vitals, no heartbeat....no baby". Letty snapped back to reality and broke down. She was beginning to piece back the life she once lived, yet with each passing memory, she was finding it harder and harder to discover. Letty clutched her stomach....only this time, the nausea was so much worse........

----------------------------

No more than two hours after discovering she had lost a child, she was on the verge of losing her husband. She confessed that over time the memories began hitting her like a flood. She told him she remembered their wedding and would have continued to tell him about their lost baby, but he revealed he was awake. She had felt a wave of relief wash over her.

-------------------------------
Later when Dom and Letty made it back to their current LA safehouse, they finally had a moment together. Letty had to tell Dom. She had a feeling her statement in her vision was true. He didn't know.

"Dom....I have something else to tell you" she said taking a shaky breath to try to settle herself. She would be reopening some old wounds for them both.

"I know about the D.R. I know that you left me." Dom grimaced at his younger, foolish self. "But that doesn't matter to me anymore". She said as she grabbed his hand making Dom look at her "There's something I never got to tell you". She took another breath. "The morning after you left, I wasn't myself....I was nauseous. And late".

"You were...." Dom started. "pregnant, yes. When I came back here to LA, I told Mia. She is the only one who ever knew. She took me to the clinic" tears filled Letty's eyes. "And...I got to hear the heart beat. It was the most beautiful little sound I had ever heard". Her voice cracked. "Then when I found out there was a chance to get you home....I risked everything. And lost the baby in the process".

Dom looked off. What guilt he had felt for getting his wife 'killed' had tripled. Because now he had also found that he had really killed his unborn child as well.

"Letty....I'm so sorry". Was all he could say. "You didn't know, Dom. And I knew the risk. I just wanted you back. I wanted to raise that baby together" she sobbed as Dom embraced her.

They both cried into one another. Silence and the occasional sniff was all that could be heard. After a while, Letty said something to Dom. "I still do". Dom looked at her. "After we take the time to mourn the baby who couldn't come to us, I want to try again. I'm done with this life, Dom. I want us to have that life we dreamt of when we were alone. You and me teaching our little grease monkey how to be better than we ever were. Teach them what it means to be loved and to love another".

Dom liked the sound of that. "after we let the Buster leave the team, we can go back to the D.R.  reunite with some family? And plan the future of ours?".

Letty sniffed. "I'd like that. Just you and me. Our new adventure together". Letty clutched her stomach.....only this time, there was no nausea, instead there was a path ahead, just her husband and her with their future child. They didn't know what shape it would take, but they knew it would be perfect because they were together.

The end.

(As you can tell, this was suggested by the legendary loomriah. She found trivia that was new to even me. I thoroughly hope you enjoyed it and I'm sorry if it has made you sad. With all that said, thanks for reading and I'll catch you lads and ladies in the next one.)
