One Last Ride // Brian O'Conner [3]

It's positive. The pregnancy test - well, tests considering Alex did three of them to make sure - came out positive. Alex is pregnant. Again. She felt a mixture of emotions. When would be the right time to tell Brian? When would be the right time to tell everyone else? Should she wait until it's confirmed by a doctor before telling anyone in case something bad happens again?

There was what seemed like a million questions running through Alex's mind. She made sure that she put the tests at the bottom of the trash so Brian wouldn't see them. She added a few more things to the trash just to be safe.

Knowing that she was carrying her and Brian's second child made Alex feel even more nervous about something happening to Brian while he was out with Dom trying to take down Shaw. What would she do if something happened to him? She couldn't do this on her own. Tears filled her eyes.

Just as Alex's mind began to drift to negative thoughts, she heard the sound of the door of the hotel room behind unlocked. Her heart began to race. Brian, she thought. Quickly, she stood up and wiped the tears that had spilled to her cheeks.

As expected, Brian walked through the door, closing it behind him. He and Alex looked at each other for a moment. Immediately, Alex's eyes wandered over his body, making sure he was okay. She saw blood on his shirt and felt tears fill her eyes again. Brian noticed the look on her face and walked close to her. He knew what she was thinking and shook his head. He cupped her cheeks and looked into her blue eyes.

"It's not mine," Brian said quietly, answering Alex's question before she could even ask it. He ran his hands through her hair soothingly. "I'm okay, baby. I'm okay." She sighed in relief then pulled her boyfriend close to her, wrapping her arms around his body. Brian began rubbing her back while he held her close. He closed his eyes and enjoyed the moment. This is the place that they both feel most at home - in each other's arms.

"Who got hurt?" Alex asked, her voice muffled since she had yet to let go of Brian. "Is Dom okay?" Brian opened his eyes and placed a kiss on top of Alex's head.

"It was Mr. Nobody. He was shot, but he'll be okay. It was basically a set up. The people who had Ramsey captured were there waiting for us. They're working with Shaw," Brian explained. He sighed. "Let's not worry about that right now though." Alex looked up at him.

"You okay, babe?" Alex asked, slightly furrowing her brows. He looked at her for a moment before nodding.

"Yeah," Brian said quietly. Alex finally broke their embrace. She grabbed his hand and led him towards the bathroom.

"C'mon, you need a shower," Alex said, "A nice, hot, relaxing shower." She added, turning the bathroom light on. Brian smiled at her. "Now go start the water and I'll get you a fresh pair of clothes." Alex went to walk away but Brian gently grabbed her wrist, stopping her.

"How 'bout we do a bath instead so that way you can join me?" Brian asked, earning a smile from his girlfriend. He knew how much Alex loved when they took baths together. She nodded.

"Sounds like a plan."

The team stood together on a hill that looked over at the beautiful city in front of them. The seven of them all had the same thing on their mind; it's good to be back in L.A. It was weird for the Toretto's to not have a home to go back to.

"I'm all for winging it, but this shit is crazy man! We got mercenaries with some real heat on us." Roman exclaimed. "I ain't scared or nothin'.." He added.
