Taya pulled up outside a little restaurant Dom knew the directions for. It was small and quiet, perfect place to talk about what she should do. She wasn't ready for any of this....she didn't want to be a mother yet, she couldn't. Cole was into some deep stuff and so was Dom, they couldn't protect her from the stuff that was going on and she couldn't handle it by herself. She just hoped Dom would agree on her decision to not try and keep it or just do themselves a favor. Then again, she also hoped he disagreed.

She saw the car pull up behind hers and sighed deeply watching him get out. "Hey." She said softly looking up at him as she sat at the table outside. She sat up as he sat across from her and sighed. "Cole came over last night, we talked about what to do..." she said softly, wondering what he was gonna say. No matter how much she got closer to him, he was still intimidating to her, but he was still soft and caring. She could understand why Letty was so into him.

Dom would've preferred Taya just come over to his pad and have a beer or two, but as ladies must she did this formally and out to a restaurant they went. Must be something pretty deep for her to ask him of this. He hoped to god this wasn't about Letty's memory, he had about all he could take of her. The memories were just too painful to revisit.

He sat across from her at their table and did his best to read her expression. He thought she looked conflicted, like decisions circulating around her were plaguing her. Time would tell if he was right.

"And?" Dom quirked a brow at her. He nearly forgot about Cole's involvement with Letty's sister.

She sighed and looked down at her lap. "Cole wants to give it up for adoption....and so do I." She said softly and looked back up at him. "It's too dangerous Dom...we're not ready for this. I just...I wanted your support...I need you right now."

That's easy, she just wanted support for a sensible decision? "And you have it." Dom said subtly. Though he had a hard time supporting just about anything Taya was up to these days, this was one train of thought she had right...finally. "Your mistake was getting pregnant in the first place." He added as a bit of a scold. It frustrating him at times to see Taya the way she acted around the streets. Sometimes naive, and a very action-first think later attitude. That was the one thing he was trying to mold out of her.

She nodded and looked down at her lap again. "I know...We both agreed on it, I just wanted to know you'll back me up on it." she said looking back up at him. "I'm sorry about dragging you into this, I just didn't know who else to turn to." she mumbled as she played with the straw in her soda she ordered. "Do you want anything? It's on me." she said looking back up at him.

"Why wouldn't I?" Dom said with a small shrug. "You gotta decide what's best for you. Only you know what that is." He thought that maybe she was looking for an alternative to her decision, and that's why she wanted to discuss this, but it wasn't in his position to make the call. Hell, he only knew her so much. "Why is this bothering you so much? Dom finally asked.

She sighed and shook her head. "Nothing's wrong, I just...." she looked up at him. "Someone's broken into the shop again. Last night while I was there, they took a bunch of prototype stuff I got in and I was gonna use it on the car...." She said softly. "I'm fine honest, But the door's busted to shit and alot of other stuff too."

"Who broke into the shop?" Dom suddenly perked up. "We'll probably see the fool on the streets if its specific stuff." He mused. God only knows what Dom would do to some guy who thinks it's cool to steal stuff out of a garage...let alone Taya's.
Dom believed that he heard that Cole was making an ass load of money with his mob gig, it made him wonder why he couldn't put the bucks towards the repair.

Taya shook her head. "Whoever it is, they've been watching for those parts all over the city and saw I got them in this week. They had to have been watching for a good time to come in and get the stuff and get out because how would they have known you left that night and I was alone? No one but us knew you were there at all." She said looking up at him.

"You need to get some cameras around the place." He said quickly. "And guns." It was typical Dominic Toretto style to fight fire with an inferno in these cases. Taya especially needed the protection.
"Don't hang around there for awhile, and don't keep anything valuable there."

Taya nodded and looked up at him. "I was hopping you and Brian could go in and put the stuff up around the place. Make sure all the locks are up to date and working right, fix that door..." She said softly, remembering the door was coming off the hinges from the last break in. She sighed and drank the rest of her soda and looked up at him. "Sorry about all this."

"It wouldn't be hard, just a camera at both ends is all." Dom shrugged and laid back in his chair. "You really should just have a professional come in and do it. Better yet find a new shop."

He shook his head as she gave an unwarranted apology. "Better you talk to somebody than nobody."

She nodded. "I know but I just got that place paid off Dom, if I try and sell then it'll be half of what I paid." She said softly."I'm staying in the loft more because I'm gonna lose my apartment....I just got the notice..."

Dom subtly shook his head when she mentioned the apartment. Here she drove around in a viper, had a decent sized garage, and yet her humble little pad was still in jeopardy. "What's more important, your life or your business?" Dom put her on the spot a bit. "You're in some danger if people are breaking in, that ain't nothing to take lightly." He said a little sternly.

"OKAY!" She said a little louder and looked up at him. "I'll do it....I should be getting paid soon anyway so I'll get the apartment caught up too...."

"I thought you said you got an eviction notice?" Dom raised a brow. "What I'm saying is you need to focus on the important things first. Your safety, the little one's safety." He motioned slightly at her stomach. "Maybe you should think about slowing down a little."

"Yeah but he said if I can get him the money by the time I have to move out he'll revoke it." She said softly and looked up at him. "Dom, I want you to be honest....do you think I should keep it or not?" She asked him softly. She wanted to know what everyone thought on it. Cole wasn't too fond of the thought of keeping it, but hopefully he was told and understood why she hated to adopt it out and give it up like that. Hopefully Dom and the others understood too. But maybe it was best to give it up, or maybe it wasn't. She couldn't think because someone would tug her the other way. She knew Dom wouldn't, and for hell sure Letty would never, dead or not.

Dom didn't speak for a few moments, almost as if to give her the opportunity to come to that conclusion for herself. He knew that she knew what she wanted to do, it was a matter of being pressured in to other options. "Only you should make that decision. You know what you want to do, and nobody should persuade you into anything different." He said simply.

Taya nodded and bit her lip."Cole's gonna flip out when he hears I changed my mind...." She said softly. "I don't think he knows why I don't want to give it up..."

Dom couldn't help the slight smirk that crossed his features as she said what he hoped, but didn't expect her to say. He had to complement her for standing by her choices for once. "Whatever he says is his opinion. That doesn't change what you feel is right." He emphasized.

"I don't think I know either." He leaned in a bit closer.
