21. our family just got bigger

Sophia watched Brian as he worked on taking apart the car, Mia and Logan sitting beside her reading a local newspaper they found.

Sophia smiled as she looked down at him. "Brian."

"Hm?" He mumbled, looking up at her.

"I have something I have to tell you."

In the corner of her eye, Sophia saw Mia and Logan stop their conversation and slowly look at her. Before she could even get the words out, Vince burst into the room.

"God damn. What a mess!"

Brian was quick to stand up in front of Sophia, his body tensing. Sophia reached forward and grabbed his hand, running her thumb along his knuckles.

"Where you been, man?" Brain questioned.

"You better check that tone." Vince glared at him.

"And you just better answer the goddamn question." Brian stated as he grew angrier and more suspicious.

Sophia, Mia and Logan both quickly got in the middle of them. "Stop it."

"Both of you." Mia added, her hand letting go of Logans to place a hand on Vince's shoulder while Sophia placed her hands on Brian's chest.

Mia glanced back to Sophia, and they shared a look, preparing for the slew of whatever shit Vince was going to say.

Dom came over to them and stood in front of Vince. "Where were you, Vince?"

Mia stepped back to stand beside Logan interlocking their hands as Vince spoke. Sophia made sure to stay in front of Brian as she kept her hand on his upper arm.

"Guys all over the favelas asking about you." He explained. "Couldn't get out of there without leading them straight to you. Had to wait 'em out."

Brian looked down at Sophia in disbelief, Sophia mirroring his expression. Vince had enough time to get back. Sophia didn't like the gut feeling she had about VInce and she knew if she voiced it, there would be chaos.

"That is such horseshit." Brian accused. "That was your job, and those were your guys!"

Sophia stepped back as Brian angrily charged at Vince who yelled out in anger. Dom shoved Vince back as Sophia grabbed Brian's arm.

"Hey! Enough, O'Conner! If he said he didn't do it, he didn't do it. Go walk it off."

Brian left and Sophia shook her head angrily. She glared at both her brother and Vince before turning on her heels and storming out of the room. Mia held a hand up to her brother and shook her head at him telling him to give their sister some space to cool off.

Logan looked at Mia locking eyes making sure she was okay. Mia, noticing the worry in his eyes, squeezed his hand to let him know she was okay considering the circumstances. 


Night Time 

Brian watched Sophia fall asleep in the midst of their conversation. He couldn't help but admire her, the way her dark brown hair flowed even though it was messy Brian couldn't help but smile.

This was the first time in forever that Sophia looked peaceful in her sleep, Brian hoped this is a way for her to relax from all the stress from the past few days, even months.

"I'm awake!" Sophia shouted as she rubbed her eyes tiredly.

"Sure, you are Soph." Brian told as Sophia noticed he was already looking at her.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to fall asleep," Sophia was apologizing as she adjusted her head onto Brian's shoulder.

"It's okay, I like watching you sleep," Brian grimaced after realizing what he said," That sounded creepy didn't it?"

Sophia nodded her head, causing them to laugh, "A little bit."

At the sound of people yelling, the two sat up in the bed they were sleeping in. Sophia grabbed one of Brian's jackets and pulled it over her as they got up and left the room, heading back towards the main room.

Mia and Logan came out from their room with messy hair and tired eyes. They had obviously been asleep before getting awoken by all the yelling

Brian grabbed Sophia's hand and held onto it tightly as they approached the room. "Soph was on that train."

Dom say. "My sister!"

"I didn't know." Vince responded. "I wouldn't do anything to hurt either of them."

"You set up the deal!"

"I thought the job was for the cars." Vince said calmly. "I didn't know. All they want is the chip."

"Damn! You should've come clean."

Sophia pulled the door open as the four of them stepped into the room. "What's going on out here?'

"Nothing." Dom shook his head, not looking at them.

"Please, Dom, just let me have the chip." Vince begged. "I can take this to them. They'll give it to Reyes and set things right."

"Get out."

Vince looked shocked and thought he had heard Dom wrong. "What?"

"Get out!" Dom repeated, Sophia flinching at how loud his voice was.

Brian's grip tightening on her hand to reassure her that he was right there with her.

"You never listen to me." Vince started. "Not when I told you he was a cop, and not now. You never trust me and look where it's gotten us. Look at our family now. I can't go home! Your sisters are stuck in this life! Where's Letty, Dom? Where's Letty?" 

Few Hours Later

"What do you think?" Sophia questioned her as she stood behind Brian as he put the chip into the computer.

She rubbed his shoulder as Mia and Logan stood on the other side of him, watching.

"Well, it's definitely a custom chip. Look at all these side menus here for data entry. Let's check this one." Brian clicked on one of the tabs and it revealed a long list of places. "Look at that. Same building, same order every week."

"It's a delivery schedule." Dom stated.

"What's this?" Mia asked as she leaned forward, motioning to another tab, Brian clicking onto it.

A long list of numbers with kilos beside it came up. "Drugs?"

Brian shook his head. "No. That's a dealer pack. See, most major players weigh their money, so they don't have to constantly count it. Right there, that's forty-nine kilos. Forty-nine kilos are a million in twenties."

Sophia ran a hand through her hair. "So, you're saying each one of these shipments is worth ten million dollars?'

"Yeah."

"That's a hundred million plus in cash houses." Logan stated. "Holy shit."

Dom leaned against the car. "That's how he keeps it off the grid."

"I think it's safe to say that Reyes is smart to want this back." Brian sighed. "It's his whole network right there, just laid out on a chip."

Everyone stopped as they heard something dropping. They looked at each other before springing into action. Brian hoisted Sophia on top of the wall, the brunette sliding over it before she dropped on the ground beside Mia and Logan. Gunshots rang out into the air as Brian landed beside her.

"Go! Go!"

Mia got to her feet and took off running with Logan right behind her, Sophia and Brian were quick to sprint after them, the four running down sets of stairs as Dom ran the other way. Mia went to open a gate as a man rounded the corner with a gun. Brian ran in front of the three and kicked the gate down, punching the man in the face before throwing him into the wall.

Logan pushed Mia in front of him as they turned the corner and ran the opposite way. Brian and Sophia ran after them as they ran faster. The girls ran up onto a rooftop as Brian and Logan took out some more guys behind them. Mia and Sophia jumped from roof-to-roof Logan and Brian not far behind them.

"Brian!" Sophia yelled as she didn't see him beside her.

"I'm right behind you Sophie!" Brian yelled as he came up behind her.

"Keep going!"

The four continued to run from rooftop to rooftop and Mia almost ran off the edge of another one. Sophia quickly grabbed her waist and pulled her back into her chest as she saw the roof below them looking like it would break at any moment, the two turned to Brian and Logan.

Brian grabbed Sophia's hand. Sophia nervously grabbed his hand back worried if the baby would be okay. Logan grabbed Mia's hand as they backed up for a running start.

"Let's go. "Brian nodded his head as he looked over to them.

The four didn't waste any time before they ran forward and jumped off the roof, crashing into the one below them, falling through it. Luckily, they landed safely and hurried before any of the men caught up with them. They were able to find water tunnels to hideout in and hopefully meet up with Dom.

Mia and Sophia followed behind Brian and Logan as they crawled through the water tunnels, Dom behind them. The five stood in the stream in the clearing away from the streets.

"They're going to be looking for the five of us together now. We need to split up." Dom spoke as he walked in front of them. Both Mia and Sophia frowned at his words. "Mia and Logan head west while Soph and Brian head south. I'll lead them away."

"No." Both sisters protested. Brian turned to Sophia.

"Dom is right. Look at how lucky we just got. What happens next time? We have no choice but to split up."

Mia nudged Sophia in the side and the brunette sighed, Brian giving her a confused look before she spoke. Sophia knew this was probably the worst moment to announce it, but she knew she had to.

"I'm pregnant." Sophia stated with a small smile on her face.

Mia bounced on her feet excitedly as the words left her lips, Logan walking behind Mia placing a hand behind her back. Brian looked at her shocked, his eyes shifting to her stomach. Sophia placed a hand on her stomach and turned to Dom who was also staring at her stomach dumbfounded.

"I already lost my family once. I'm not going through that again." Sophia stated.

Brian stepped towards her and wrapped his arms around her waist, one hand placed over hers on her stomach. "Are you kidding me?"

"No." Sophia shook her head with a small laugh.

Brian connected their lips passionately, pulling her into a hug. "I'm not going anywhere. Okay?" He chuckled. "We're going to have a baby."

Sophia nodded as he placed his other hand on her stomach, smiling down at it. The brunette turned her attention to Mia who, despite already knowing, was crying.

"Mia? Why are you crying? You and Logan already knew."

Mia wiped her tears away as Logan rubbed circles behind her back. "I know, I know. But it's still so exciting!"

"Dominic?" Sophia asked as she turned to their brother. "Promise me we stick together."

"I promise." Dom spoke as he turned towards them.

"Our family just got bigger." He said as he wrapped his arms around the five of them.
