The raindrops hit the roof and window so hard it sounded like they were made of ice. Millions of them.
Brian had actually woken up from the sound of the storm that was putting on a big show outside.
His watchdog, Buster, had crawled under the bed and was howling every once in a while.
"Shh, Buster!"
Lightning lit up the room and Mia's sound asleep form on the bed next to him.
The cold air coming in through the open window sent chills down his naked body. Brian grabbed his boxers from the floor and padded over to Tyler's room to check on him.
The little guy was making sounds in his sleep but hadn't woken up yet.

Mia woke at the sound of the loud clap of thunder. She sat up in bed and lucked round for brian who wasnt there. With a sigh she moved to tylers room. "how is he" she questioned wrapping an arm round his waist.

At first Mia startle him slightly but then he reached for her hand and pulled her closer to him.
With a look at the samll peacful face sucking on a pacifier he smiled. "Fine. Sound sleeper."
brian didn't dare to touch him in order not to wake him up.
Lightning lit up the room and thrunder followed suit.
Brian pressed his cold back against Mia's front. "Quite a storm out there. Are you okay?"
With another look at Tyler he wondered. "Should we take him to our bed?"

Mia smiled at the comforting touch, he had kept her pretty sane in the first couple of days since he had been brought home, getting up with her to feed him and change him, taking shifts so she could sleep. Lickign her lips she rested agaisnt him, her dark hair tickling his bare chest.

"Fine"She whispered, not wanting to speak any louder so that she wouldnt wake him, but she was sure that the loud thunder and lightening would. Swallowing she lifted her gaze as the room lit up, her little boy squirming in the bed, she nodded her head, walking over to him, getting to him just in time to open his eyes, she scopped him up quickly, craddling him to her chest.

"Its okay baby"She whispered, rocking him gently as she turned back towards Brian, it was going to be another sleepless night.

It was strange how this little guy brought out unknown feelings in Brian. All he wanted was to protect him, make sure he was safe and happy. He'd stay up ever night if necessary and do anything it took.
Carefull he touched his small head and ran his fingers, which seemed huge, over the soft hair on top of his head.

Back in their bedroom he drew the curtains closed so the lightning wouldn't be so bright and crawled into bed with Mia and Tyler in their middle. It was nice and cozy despite the chilly, stormy night.
Only Buster wasn't feeling good. He was trying to get intzo bed with them.
"Buster, you big puss, off."

Mia smiled, settling herself into bed, Tyler resting agasint her chest for the moment, she looked over at Brian, smieling as she got Tyler settled on her brest, her head resting agasint the back of the bed, yawning she shook her head at Brian.

"Leave him"She whispered, patting Buster back up again, only to have him lie in between the two of them, she smiled, stroking her fingers over the top of his head, her gaze wondered over to Brian and smiled. "I used to be so afraid of storms when i was younger, I used to creep in to Doms room when i was younger"She laughed at the memory, her brother had always been good like that.

Brian absolutely enjoyed the moment despite the fact that it was in the middle of the night.
The raindrops against the window made their home comfortable.
"I wonder where he is right now."
They hadn't seen a whole lot of Dom, Letty or Leon.
"The guys don't come around as much any more. We should invite them over."

Mia smiled, nodding her at hsi comment, he was right, things had change a lot since the heists, her home, despite being full with her family was empty, it was no longer the 'fort'. She nodded her head slowly. "Yea...seems we have them all over though something happens" SHe stated, the last time it had been Chris trying to kill Faye.

"I wonder what happened with Letty and Dom" Mia had never got the story there btu she knew it was something,.

"Huh?" brian turned his head on the cushion to look at her. Suddenly tyler started crying. His father's voice had probably startled him. "Shhh, shhh." Brian tried to soothe him and was somewhat successful. The baby started sucking on Brian's finger and calmed down slowly.
"Close call." he whispered.
"What do you mean? What's wrong with Dom and Letty?"

Mia raised a brow, watching as Brian soothed their child, her brow knitted togehter, wondering how he could have not noticed the tension between the to, she shook her head, slolwy shifting so that Tyler was lying between them, and then rested agasint her side, the best as she could now that Buster had rested agasint her feet.

"They broke up"She stated looking over at her husband.

For a moment Brian couldn't respond. Letty and Dom breaking up was like hell freezing over.
"They are like...I don't know. I never met anybody else who compliments each other better."
He looked a little shocked. "Why? Do you know?"

Mia shook her head, but Brian was right, Dom and Letty were perfect for each other, because they were so unperfect as a couple, when they were great they were awesome, but when they were fighting everyone knew about it.

"Its not the first time this has happened, they'll find there way back" But she was mighty worried about Dom he never did take the breakups well.

"Hm. I still don't like the sound of it."
For a moment he got lost in thoughts. Only a few days ago they had gotten married and of course it had crossed Brian's mind that there was a chance they'd break up.
He didn't talk about it though because he didn't think it was going to happen.
"That's not going to happen to us."

Mia furrowed her brow "Of course it isnt"SHe stated shaking her head, her gaze dropping to their son. "How could you even think that" She questioned, with a raised brow as she looked over at him, her brows knitted in conffusion, she had no idea where that had come from.

"When I hear that Letty and Dom are breaking up I think about it but I'm not worried. We're different."
His eyes also went to his son.
"He's so beautiful."
Thunder made Buster yelp again and startle the baby.
"Maybe he needs to go out and do his business."

Mia raised a brow "I dont think he's gonna go any where outside"She stated, she shifted a little bit down the bed and rested her head agasint his stomach.

"Its okay"She whispered, stroking behind his ears, her dark gaze lingering over Brian. "Its gonna be fine you know, i mean all the shit we've been through, and where here, and we have a beautiful little baby boy"

"I know, I know." Brian nodded a little over eargerly.
He watched her calm their furry friend down.
There was something on his mind that he hadn't found the right moment to tell her.
"I don't think it's ever going to be us breaking up."
It made him sad and worried to see their little son when he knew about Carter.
"There's something I have to tell you."

Mia frowned as she lifted her gaze to look at him, there was something in his tone that worried her and she didnt like it one bit, with her head still resting agasint Buster, who had thankfully calmed, she nodded her head.

"What is it"She questioned with a rasied brow.

"After I left California I went to Miami, you know. Down there me and Rome got coaxed into working for the FBI to clean our records. We busted a pretty bad guy named Verone." Brian could still see the guys cocky smirk when he got arrested. It meant that one day he'd get back at Brian for it.
"He's been released a couple of days ago and he's in LA."
Suddenly his easy mood was blown away and replaced by a tight chest. It wasn't just him any more. Now there were two more people.
"Maybe I've made you a target."

Mia let out a breath, sitting up, nodding her head slowly, she shifted so she was resting agasint Brian.

"Brian im a target by just being a Toretto or O'Conner, if this guy was gona do something he would have by now"She whispered, truth was she was scared, scared just in case she was wrong and something did happen, it wasnt just them any more it was their little boy.
