Drive

Deckard stopped me from walking inside with his arm.

"You know you can't lie to me."

I pushed past him and opened the front door. I smiled a little at the blue and black couches with red and white trimming before I sat down on the couch, my head in my hands. Dex sat down on the oak wood coffee table in front of me as I looked up at him.

"Letty asked about kids." I said.

He frowned. "So? You said you've always wanted to start a family."

"I know. But the life we live.... It's dangerous. People have tried to kill us for years. Owen tried to kill Jack and Mia for the love of God!" I exclaimed. "And let's not even think about what you tried doing, Deckard. What I'm trying to say is; how can we start a family if our lives are filled with more danger every hour?"

Deckard nodded. "So what are you going to do?"

"I'm not sure, but I need to talk to Letty about it." I told him.

"I'll go get her for you, eh?" He asked.

I nodded. "Thanks, Dex."

He smiled and hugged me quickly before he walked outside. I sat there for a little bit longer until the front door opened and Letty walked in. She dropped her smile when she saw me.

"Ace?" She asked.

I motioned for her to sit so she did. I took a breath before I finally looked up to meet her eyes.

"Letty, you know how I told you that we would talk about kids when we got back?"

"Yeah, of course." She responded. "Why? Do you not want to have any?"

"No! I mean, I do. But Let..." I sighed. "Letty, our lives are dangerous. I don't want to put our kids in danger because of our life."

She nodded. "I was thinking the same thing."

I looked up at her before something dawned on me.

"We could adopt a teenager, if you wanted."

She smiled and nodded. "Yeah. I'd like that."

I leaned up and kissed her quickly before I got up from the couch.

"Want to give them a call?"

Me and Letty pulled up to the teenage adoption house in a Navy Blue dodge charger. It was the same as Dom's, but we had built it. I parked the car and got out. Letty was already standing there, waiting for me. I slung my arm around her neck and we walked up to the front door. The woman smiled at us before her eyes shifted to over my shoulder. I followed them to see a kid walking around the car. I stopped her from calling out to the teen.

"I'll talk to him." I said. "Letty, you alright here?"

She nodded and the pair of women left. I walked back over to the car where the kid was checking it out. I leaned against it and spoke.

"Nice ride?" I asked.

He jumped nearly out of his skin as he spun around to face me. I smirked as he glanced between me and the machine.

"Um... yeah. Yeah, it is."

I looked at him. "You wanna check out the engine?"

His eyes lit up. "Can I?"

I walked to the driver's side and popped the trunk before I pulled it up. I put it on the rest and stepped backwards.

"What do you think?"
