As they walked into the one of their many underground safe houses, this one where they stashed their more valuable cars. Valerie made her way over to their bathroom to clean up the wound properly, whilst Deckard lead them to their computer system and the bar. Valerie then jogged up to them and slipped her hand into Deckard' leaning into him.

"Wow, look at all these. Somebody's overcompensating." Hobbs said sarcastically, looking at at their cars lined up and shined perfectly. Valerie smiled at her purple McLaren, which had been one of her favorite cars.

"If anything, we're undercompensating," Valerie mumbled, and Hattie chuckled. "And a teeny tiny one. Just your size." Hobbs chuckled, pointing at the smaller car that Valerie decided to keep after the job in Italy.

"Used it for a job over in Italy. Shame we didn't need a weightlifting bus driver. Woulda given you a call." Deckard said sarcastically, pulling over his wife to their computer system. Valerie knew exactly the person they were going to call for some help, a well known friend to Valerie. As she typed on their computers, Deckard came from behind her and put his hands on her hips, resting his chin on her shoulder.

"You gonna tell me about you're job you were on for several weeks?" Decks asked, placing a kiss on her cheek whilst she focused on typing in the computers. "What's their to say? I ditched it so I could help Hattie." Valerie lied, and Deckard sighed, obviously knowing his wife was lying.

"You're lying." She sighed and turned around. "What do you want me to say? That I left my husband for a stupid job that wasn't even worth my time. That I did the same thing you did in Italy? I left, I caused you pain, I went off the grid? Okay, because I know! I know what I did and I know it was shitty and stupid, but I did it for you."

Hobbs and Hattie looked over to see Valerie raise her voice and hold her side, clenching her jaw to avoid the pain. Hattie and Hobbs decided to walk away to leave the couple to their argument. "What did you do for me? Val, I don't need you to do things for me that put your life in danger." Deckard said, and Valerie looked away, but her lip to avoid looking at her husband.

"It was Brixton! I found out he was alive and looking for you, so I went on the job and lead him off of you and onto me. So I could kill him, and you would never have to go through the same pain you did when you killed him. I didn't want you to go through the same kind of pain I went through when you left me in Italy. I couldn't put you through that." Valerie explained, tears pooling her eyes as looked at her husband.

His face was blank and unrecognizable to her, she didn't know what he was thinking. "You knew?" His face morphed into disbelief and she blinked away tears, hating that face he was giving her.

"Yes. I've known for months, found out just before our wedding day. I'm so sorry, I just..hell I don't even have an excuse. I'm really sorry I didn't tell you. I didn't know how, you only killed him for me. I'm the reason Brixton is the guy he is today. They wanted me, it should've been me," Valerie cried, her hands subconsciously going to her stomach, which hadn't gone unnoticed by Deckard.

Deck looked at Valerie, they both knew she was in the wrong and she would admit it, but he loved her and understood why she did it. She never tried to do the right thing, and it was rare when she had. Deck knew exactly why he put a bullet on Brixton, and part of it was for her, but if was also for him. Her lips trembled and she suddenly covered her mouth to avoid throwing up.

"What's wrong?" He immediately became concerned and she shook her head, trying to get him away from her. She ran over to the bathroom, going past Hobbs and Hattie who were having a conversation and Deckard ran to her just as she fell to her knees and let it all out into the toilet. Hattie ran in and dropped down, pulling her hair from her face, as the boys both stood by the bathroom doorframe.

"What's wrong with her?" Deck asked and Hattie shared a look with Hobbs, both knowing why she was throwing up and moody. Valerie shook her head and wiped her mouth, leaning on Hattie, she looked up at the boys. "I'm fine, just ate something bad." She mumbled and Deck frowned, knowing she was lying but decided not to push on it.

They all left the bathroom besides Hattie who insisted on helping her clean herself up and patch up some cuts on her arms. "Why haven't you told him?" Hattie asked softly, putting some ointment on Valerie' cut on her forearm, whilst Val brushed her teeth.
"I don't know how. You heard what just happened, I lied to him. For months. And we never really talked about having children. It was never a possibility for me," Val mumbled the last part.

"Well why not? I'm assuming you considered kids later in the future? Mum always wanted grandchildren." Hattie asked, gently brushing out the knots in Valerie' hair. "When I got into the car crash a years ago, I found out after, I couldn't get pregnant. I had hit the steering wheel harder than normal and I couldn't give birth, ever. That's why we never had to worry about protection or a pill."

Hattie frowned and placed a kiss on Valerie' cheek, "Than your child will be a wonderful miracle. Just, talk to Deckard about this, I'm sure he'd be more than happy to have a child with you." Hattie said before exiting the bathroom, leaving a confused emotional filled Valerie.

"I hate feelings." She mumbled, spitting out the mouthwash, she exited the bathroom and walked to the computers. Sitting down on the chair she began to type and hack through things. Hattie walked over to the bar and asked Hobbs if he wanted a drink, then poured some to the top of the glass and handed it to him with a closed smile.
