It was a couple of days since that barbecue. The barbecue that changed the meaning of "family" forever.
Especially for Dominic Toretto.
It was early in the morning, and Dom was still in bed. The sun was beaming peacefully through the window.
Letty Toretto, Dom's wife, was still asleep, lying on Dom's chest.
Still lying down, Dom once again tried to comprehend everything that happened since their Cuban honeymoon. How he betrayed his family. How the world almost came to an end. How Alena was gone. How much of a bitch Cipher was, and that now, she could be anywhere.
But most importantly, how he now has a son.
Dom's thoughts were shattered when crying could be heard coming from his next room. He couldn't help but groan.
"Looks like someone needs his daddy," a voice next to him said.
Dom turned to his left to see Letty, sitting up and looking down on him.
"Yep, I know. I'll be right back," Dom said, putting on his tank top and going to take care of Brian.
After a minute, Letty got up as well and walked over to the doorway to Brian's room. She saw a sight that never got old: Dom cuddling Brian in his arms as he sucked on a bottle.
"How are my two most favorite men doing?" she asked with a smile to follow.
Dom smiled and chuckled back. Brian cooed and laughed.
Everything was just so perfect and peaceful. No cars, no guns, no explosions, no running, no tanks, cargo jets or submarines. If Letty could stop time and frame this moment in life forever, she would do it in a heartbeat.
Luke Hobbs was back to coaching at his daughter's soccer game. He often thought about his rejection of his job at the DSS, but after glimpsing his daughter play, he knew he made the right choice.
"C'mon, Red Dragons! Hustle up!" he shouted from across the field. The girls came running towards him in an instant.
"Alright ladies. Remember, this is the championship. But deep down, remember that you are each a true winner. Trophies don't make champs. Heart does. Now, do your best and let's do this!"
The little girls yelled and cheered in response. Hobbs then stuck his arm out, and the girls stacked their hands atop one another in the middle of the circle.
"On three! One! Two! Three! Red Dragons!"
"RED DRAGONS!"
As Hobbs watched the girls head back to the field, he saw all of the mothers staring at him with smiles. It was nothing new to him. He simply smiled back and flexed his huge arm. The mothers gasped with delight, with one even passing out.
In downtown L.A., Deckard and Owen Shaw were in a coffee shop, catching up and reminiscing.
"So, why didn't you tell your brother that your arse was still in one piece?" Deckard asked.
"Mum told me not to tell anyone. Especially you," Owen replied.
"Well, it ain't none of mum's business."
"She did it to keep both of us safe, brother."
"Yes. True." Deckard was still confused, but knew it would all pass in time.
"Well, nuff 'bout me. What about you?" Owen asked with enthusiasm.
"Joined that Toretto and his crew."
Owen laughed hard for a minute. "Those bloody yanks that tried to put me in the ground?"
Deckard nodded. "But they're good people, Owen. And I only hated them 'cause they 'killed' you." Deckard raised air quotes. "But since you're alive, it doesn't matter anymore. You should come join us sometime."
"Alright, sure. It's not like mum can take care of me forever."
In the Dominican Republic, Brian and Mia O' Conner were still taking time away from the rest of the team. Mia was cooling off in the pool outside. She was taking every step slowly, since she could give birth to her daughter and go into labor at anytime now.
Back in the house, Jack and Brian were playing "Super Mario Bros." on the huge TV.
"Hey Jack," Brian began. "How do you feel about having a sister?"
"Hmm…" Jack thought. "I'll love her just as much as the two of you. I just hope she doesn't become like the girls at school, though. They're gross!"
Both boys laughed hard. Jack was growing up so fast, and Brian knew it.
Mia entered the house in a wet bikini and wrapped in a towel.
"Mommy!" Jack cheered, and he ran towards her open arms.
"Be careful Jack," Brian warned, but Mia gave him a looked indicating that she would be okay.
After hugging Mia, Jack ran back to Brian, who lifted him up into his arms.
"Let's go for a family walk later," Brian suggested.
"That's an excellent idea," Mia responded with a smile. "I'm gonna shower and change." She then grabbed some dry clothes and headed for the bathroom.
Jack, however, looked sad.
"Don't worry, little buddy," Brian said with encouragement. "Mario will be waiting for you until you get back." He pointed to the TV, which was a paused image of Mario about to reach a mushroom.
"Hmm… Okay then!" Jack said with a smile.
Roman Pearce and Tej Parker were driving at high speed throughout the sandy Abu Dhabi, in the United Arab Emirates. Roman was in a baby-blue Lamborghini, and Tej was in a matte red Maserati.
"I ain't gonna lose to you!" Roman shouted from his wheel.
"I bet ten bucks that your black ass will crash before mine!" Tej responded.
Besides Roman and Tej, Megan Ramsey was also accompanying them. The two challenged one another to a race in their continued battle to see who will win Ramsey's heart first.
Ramsey, who watching the ordeal from a shady beach chair, just rolled her eyes and sighed in annoyance, and went back to her laptop.
Meanwhile, on a Boeing 767, a young man and his dog were about to bring this family together once more.
The man was eighteen, with a mohawk that was dyed yellow. He was muscular, although not as much as Hobbs. He wore a white tank top with a black leather jacket, blue jeans, and white Nike's.
His clothing wasn't his most striking feature. His left arm and leg were gone, replaced by machines. And he wore a breathing apparatus around the lower half of his head. It covered his mouth and nose, and caused his breathing to be heard across the room.
By his side lay a beautiful black and brown German Shepherd. He has been with the man for years, and the two share a close bond. He was well-trained, remaining silent ever since the plane took off. However, just a glimpse would prove that he is still dangerous and savage enough to fight if the time came.
Suddenly, the door opened behind him. A white woman with blonde hair stepped in. She looked gorgeous, yet cast a lethal look. She then walked toward her desk, the sound of her heels the only thing able to be heard, besides the man's breathing.
When the woman sat down at her desk, she and the man shook hands.
"Greetings, Luca. I am Cipher."
