Rose's PoV

I sighed and shifted my car into park. I took the key out of ignition and swung open the door, climbing out of my dark grey Plymouth barracuda. The sun hasn't even risen since it is just now 5:30 in the morning.

I turned towards Deckard and quickly kissed his jawline before grabbing my hand and interlacing our fingers. "The sooner we go, the sooner we get this over with." I whispered softly before gently pulling him towards the door to the warehouse.

It looked worn down and useless from the outside but as soon as I stepped through the doorway everything changed. The walls were well isolated with metal so it was sound proof and safe from most weaponry.

I nodded slowly in approval before advancing down the hall, taking a sharp right turn. I pushed through a door to see a high tech computer station. And standing amongst the tech was my family. Dom, Letty, Roman, Tej, Ramsey— I paused for a second, my breath hitching— and Brian.

I let go of Deckard's hand and sprinted toward Brian, wrapping my arms around him and pulling him into a bone crushing hug. I could hear and feel his soft laugh, and Dom's chuckle. I hadn't seen Brian in a year. I'd been traveling too much and he's been too busy with the kids— and Mia— to go anywhere.

I felt Brian's arms around my shoulders as he patted the back of my head. "How have you been Rose?" I pulled back and smiled up at him. "I've been good! How's Mia and the kids?"

"They've been great!" He said before his misty blue eyes went cold, staring over my shoulder. I followed his gaze to see Deckard casually leaned against a table, staring back at Brian, emotionless.

I put my hands on Brian's chest but he began to slowly move forward, his stare still coldly casted on Deckard. "Brian, stop he's with us!" I said quickly, glancing at Letty for help. The brunette walked over, setting her hand on his shoulder. "Brian listen, he's one of us. He's who saved Dom's son."

Brian stopped, his gaze softening as he looked over at Letty before meeting my gaze. He stayed quiet and took a step back, nodding briefly. I let out a sigh of relief, nodding to Letty in thanks before pulling her into a hug.

We all stayed quiet, exchanging brief hugs and murmurs of hello. After a minute I moved to stand next to Deckard, slipping my hand into his as Mr.nobody walked down the stairs with a small smile on his face. "Well hello there, looks like we're back at it again!" He said enthusiastically.

I sighed and glanced at Deckard before looking away. After everyone had greeted Mr.nobody and vice versus I looked at him. "Alright Mr.nobody. What exactly do we have?"

He walked towards a table in the middle of the room and pulled out a small remote like he'd used for our previous mission dealing with Cypher. Clicking a button a picture of the same device that was shown in the files.

An image of Little nobody appeared on the screen and I just stared at it for a moment before looking to Mr.nobody for an explanation. I received a glance before he began speaking. "Not only have we discovered the device from cypher; but Travis , also known as Little nobody." Me.nobody paused for a second with a pained look, attempting to be covered in an emotionless mask. "—he's gone missing."

I bit my lip as I felt my heart sink and gut twist with displeasure and horror. I'd become really close to Travis since we've met and he's been like a little brother since I saved his ass from under the piles of pipes so long ago. Rather than continuing to dwell in pity and misery I looked up. "How?"

Mr.Nobody opened the file on Travis, it was pretty much the same as the last time I'd looked at it. "One morning he just didn't show up to work." It showed images of him pulling out of the parking look, looking tired and worn out. "No one could get a hold of him. He's been missing for two weeks."

I nodded and looked down for a second before looking up as Brian piped up. "Did you try to use Gods-eye?" He asked and glanced around at everybody, his gaze lingering on Deck before moving back to Mr.Nobody. "After all, we went through all that bull shit to get it."

I met Deckard's gaze for a brief second before looking away, a nasty taste beginning to rise in the back of my throat as I excused myself and hurried off to the bathroom, trying not to seem to be in a rush. When I made it to the bathroom I bursted into the closest stall, a wave of nausea hitting me as I began to toss my cookies into the toilet.

I struggled to keep my hair out of my face before I slumped back and to the side, leaning my cheek against the cold hard plastic of the wall. After a few minutes I picked myself up, flushing the toilet and walking to the sinks on shaky legs. I leaned against it and washed out my mouth, flushing water up onto my face before looking at my stomach in the middle.

Won't be long til I have a baby bump.

I pulled my hair back into a neat ponytail, needing to get it out of the way and out of my face. I walked to the the door and pushed through it, rubbing my eyes with my free hand. I ran into somebody almost immediately after I walked through the door. "S-sorry."

I looked up and my head nearly spun off my shoulders with nerves as I met Dom's gaze. "H-hey Dom!" My voice cracked and was higher than normal, causing him to automatically give me a suspicious look. "Rose I already know."

I paused for a second and gave him a puzzled look. "What—How?" He chucked softly. "Mia was the same way when she had Jack. She was moody and would rush off to the bathroom the same way." He gave a small smile, his eyes soft.

I looked at my feet for a moment before craning my neck to look up at him, since he was a good half of a foot taller. "Can this stay between us?" He outstretched his arms, pulling me into a hug. "Yes. Just be safe." I gave a small nod, still slightly confused. "Do you aren't upset?" He lightly shook his head. "No. I'm proud."

He looked off down the hallway towards where everyone else was gathered. "Deckard treats you right." He gave a small half smirk. "I'd beat his ass if he didn't." I shook my head and smiled softly. "Thanks Dom."

He nodded and placed his hand on my shoulder, beginning to lead me back down the hallway. "Just take it easy." I resisted the urge to roll my eyes but have an understanding smile. "Okay Mom."
