Chapter One: Reminiscing
Things were looking better in my world, after reclaiming my twin boys from their Uncle Tanner who was a mixture of pissed at me and slightly impressed. Then Suki and Tej, the couple that took me in and gave me work and a little boat after the Febees found me. That whole drama got me Roman back and cleared records and finally a life where I could raise my boys without looking over my shoulders.
Sighing I looked out at the little place I bought for me and my boys it was quiet, rural area in California near L.A but not close enough if someone really wants to settle old scores on the be half of one Dominic Toretto. I felt like crying some times, because after doing everything to save Jesse from Tran Jr then leaping onto a moving semi to free a man whom I didn't even like from barbed wire and a trucker with a gun. He thought he still had the right to look at me with betrayed brown eyes, after rescuing his spaz and growly best friend then destroyed the Civics used in the jacking. Turns out without the trucker, the cars and the Trans' pulling off heist they did not need Dom and cleared him from the charges much to Agent Belkins displeasure. Shaking my head I wondered just how much I owed Tanner. Walking up to the house where squeals of torment pleasure were ringing out I shakes my head trying to earse the thought of Dom and the team.
"Hey anyone home?" I called out watching Sam come skidding around the corner followed by his brother Alexander, then the biggest child, my homeboy Roman Pearce. "And what are we playing now children?" I asked laughing ignoring the growl from Rome.
"Uncle Rome was saying he was faster then me and Alex, Da" Sam stated firmly "But Alex and I won so easy!" I smiled at how proud him and his brother looked, before glancing at Rome.
"I let those two ankle biters win, dog" Rome said rolling his eyes.
"Just like the good Uncle huh Rome?" I asked playfully. Rome rolled him eyes again but just nodded at me. Shaking my head again I thought about the boys mother who was ready to just give them up without telling me about then before deciding to call me. I still don't understand her decision fully relinquish parental rights to me. About how hard it was to do these last two undercover jobs and be away from them, which is what made me turn down the FBI offer deciding to take the liberated money and stash it in an off shore account then move to a town like Echo Park where they could grow up happy. I hugged the boys kissing the top of their heads before they squirmed away. Once again I was reminded of Dom and the team sighing softly I called out if anyone was hungry as I walked into the kitchen smiling as a chorus of me followed suit.
Tomorrow, I would trying to talk to Mia again.
