Date: September 6

Dom stormed quietly into the Fort, mindful of Mia and Tyler. He couldn't stand one more second in that shithole apartment, remembering what had happened there. He collapsed on the couch, realizing that as long as Letty was gone, he'd be a bastard to everyone but Mia and the baby.

Mia mummbled sleepily, sure she had heard a noise downstairs, with Tyler craddled in her arms because he wouldnt settled she padded down the steps softly, her gaze looking over at Dom as she entered the living room. With brow knitted she stepped closer to her brother dropping down next to him, hand resting agasint his knee.

"Big brother whats wrong" She questioned concern laceing her words.

Because Mia had just been released and was supposed to lay down as much as possible she had given Brian a long list with Baby stuff to get.
Even though a nice lady at the store was helping him it took Brian over an hour to get everything that his soon to be wife had asked for.
When he came home he heard somebody talking in the living room.
Cautiously he dropped the bags and walked to the door to listen whether he'd recognise the voice.
As soon as he heard the low rumble he entered. "What's up, man?"
With a look at Mia's pale face and dark circles he added. "And why aren't you in bed?"

"I can't be there anymore," he rumbled quietly, trying to keep the seething anger out of his voice. He couldn't remember if he had told them what had happened; he knew he hadn't told Mia, as it wouldn't be good for her.

"Letty..." he said finally, trailing off, not wanting to finish the sentence.

"Oh, oh." Brian mumbled when he saw the look in Dom's eyes.
"What about her? Is she okay?"
Maybe it was paranoid but lately so much crap had happened that Brian needed to be sure.

"She's fine. At least she was fine the other night," he replied, knowing that Brian would need that reassurance. Even if she'd left him, she was still family, and that still meant something, didn't it?

"Remember what we talked about before?" he asked. "About ruining the rehearsal dinner?"

Mia furrowed her brow in confusion nothing her brother was saying was making any sense to her. With co intake of breath she shifted her weight against his side. ."is this anything to do with eva." she questioned knowing if he told letty about her she wouldnt be impressed.

Brian furrowed his brow. He was confused. With the baby, his job, Carter on the loose, he had troubles keeping track of his own stuff.
"I have no idea. What about the rehearsal, which by the way isn't necessary."

"Never mind. You were probably too injured. But yeah, it's about Eva." He pulled the empty ring box out of a pocket and threw it on the coffee table. "She's gone."
