Dom wakes up to the light of the sun rising in his face. He stretched out his arms as he rolled over in bed. He looked at his sleeping wife who held onto her pillow tightly. He leans down to kiss her on her lips and the touch of his lips wakes her up. She returns the kiss and moans with content.
"Morning."
"Good morning."
"You look so beautiful."
"Tell that to the bags under my eyes."
"You look just as beautiful as you did when I met you." He says as he pushes her hair out of her face.
"You are such a cheesey teddy bear."
"I'm liking the short hair."
"Well this was the best I could do to save after Brian left a big ass wad in it."
"He doesn't know better."
"He has you wrapped around his finger."
"He doesn't."
"He's a daddy's boy. Besides, I love how you are with him. Makes me wonder how you'd be if we had a daughter."
"If she's as firery as you and stubborn as me, I'm gonna age up so quick." He says and they both laugh.
"Is Brian up yet?"
"He's still asleep."
"You think we got time for a little practice for his little sister?" She says as she moved her leg over his.
"I think we got a good half an hour. It doesn't hurt to practice." He says as he pulls her towards hi. They start kissing and he wraps her leg around his side. They start moving under the covers when they heard tiny steps in the room. They stop when they see a little ball of brown hair at the foot of their bed. They smirk at each other knowing that they had a little intruder.
"Do you hear that?" She says.
"Yeah it sounds like someone is crawling. Almost like it's a little monster." He says as they move to the foot of the bed.
"Rraaaar" Little Brian pops up holding his teddy bear. Dom grabs him and pulls him to the bed. He and Letty tickle him and he laughs as he tries to escape.
"Do you surrender?" Dom says.
"I surrender."
"Good morning baby boy." Letty says to him as she plays with his hair.
"What you want for breakfast kiddo?"
"Waffles."
"Alright let's get you your waffles." He says as he lifts him in his arms.
"I'll meet you down there. Imma go to the bathroom." She kisses him before he walks out the room. Letty walks into the bathroom as Dom and Brian leave to go downstairs. She goes into the bathroom and goes under the sink. She pulls out a clear blue box with two test she took the night before and she sits on the toilet. "It's just two sticks. Do not stress out, this might change your whole life." She opens the box and the two test fell out. She looks at the tests and let's out a sigh. "Oh my god."
Dom and Brian are outside fixing up his tractor by the garage. Letty comes out the house cleaning up her hands from working under the hood. She looks at Dom and Brian as she walks towards. Seeing him be a father made her smile. Him fell into the role so easily and it's made them both softer over the last five years.
"You guys almost done?"
"Yeah, I'm just showing him which extension to use."
"The boy's 6 and you're already got him as a mechanic."
"Gotta start him early."
"Momma can we drive the charger?"
"You need to ask daddy that bubba." She says as she lifts him in her arms.
"Daddy."
"We can do it on Sunday."
"So we need to talk about some stuff after I put him for his nap."
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing wrong. I just need to talk to you about-" She stops when she hears the sound of a car driving. "Do you hear that?"
Dom looks over the hill to see a car driving up towards the house. "Brian go to your hiding spot me and mommy showed you okay?"
Letty set him down and he ran inside the garage while they both went in to grab their guns. The race outside as the car approaches with their guns drawn when it suddenly stops.
"Ayyy put them damn guns down." Roman says as he sticks his head out the window.
"Roman." Do laughs as they set their guns down,
"Heard y'all needed a little love out here." He says as he, Tej, and Ramsey get out the car.
"Brain you can come out buddy." Letty sys and little Brian jogs out the garage, They walk over and hug them and they high five little Brian.
"What it do nephew?" Tej says to him.
"I lost my first tooth." He points to the same gap in his teeth.
"Look at that I know the tooth fairy paid you real good." Roman says.
Dom is showing Roman and Tej the garage with Brian while Letty and Ramsey are inside the house in the kitchen.
"Brian's gotten so big."
"I know he's growing up so fast."
"And you and Dom are good?"
"Yeah, we're great."
"But..."
"I just hate that we have to hide like this. I have spent years running from the cops, the feds. This isn't how we thought we'd raise our family. I love Brian like he's my own son but he deserves to play with other kids and have a normal childhood." She says as she looks over at little Brian sleeping on the couch while she drank her water.
"I know you do. So how far along are you?"
"Wait what?"
"You don't have a corona in your hand and you got the same glow Mia had when she was pregnant."
"I took a couple of tests last night and I just looked at the results this morning."
"Letty that's great. And Dom doesn't know?"
"He doesn't think it's safe to have another kid yet and we put trying for another kid on pause."
"Regardless of time, you both wanted this for a long time."
"I know. I just don't want to live like this anymore."
"Well that's why we're here. We got contacted by nobody to where Cipher's at." She pulls out a file and puts it on the table." She's in London trying to steal this new magnetic hard drive that can be used as a terrorist plat toy."
"When do we leave?"
"We leave in the morning. The question is Dom gonna go?"
Dom is putting Brian to bed when Letty comes upstairs. She looks at her son look up at his father and seeing him be a father made her melt. She knows how devoted she is to him but also knows he isn't going to leave his side.
"Hey little Brian. I have a gift for you." She unhooks the necklace from her neck and puts it around his neck. "You're daddy gave me this and now I'm gonna give it to you."
"What does it do?" He asks in his little voice.
"It's for protection from what's coming."
"From the bad guys."
"Mmhm. You know me and daddy will always gonna keep you safe right." She told him and he nodded his head. "I love you so much bubba." She hugs him and kisses his forehead. She looks over at Dom and his face was still. He knows what she's about to do and he didn't like it. She tucked Brian in and kissed his forehead.
"Sleep tight buddy." He turned on his nightlight and walked out the room with Letty. He turns off the light and closes the door.
He walks into their bedroom and Letty is throwing her clothes in a duffle bag from her closet. "Where you going?"
"I'm going to get Cipher."
"We can't leave Brian."
"Dom that bitch has put our family through hell. I'm going and take her out myself."
"We can't take the risk."
'Dom look at where we're at. We're living in the country. We can't go home, Brian can't go to kindergarten with other kids, we can't have a baby. All because of her."
"So this is what it's about? You want to go back to the old life."
"This isn't about going back to the old life. This is about getting our lives back. I'm doing what I gotta do to protect this family." She grabs her bag and walks over to him. She kisses him, "Tell Brian I love him", and walks out the room. Dom follows her down the stairs and out the door. She gets on her motorcycle and takes the brake off. "You know I'd ride to the death with you. You've always been the one to lead this family, now it's my turn." She starts her engine and drives off into the night to meet with the rest of the crew.
Dom stared at his wife driving off into the night until she disappeared past the hill. He walks off the porch and goes to the garage. He looks at his desk and looks at all the pictures from his life. With his crew, with Letty, with his son. He pulls out his tablet and plays a video of Brian playing with Jack on the beach. He swipes left and plays a video of little Brian walking for the first time. This was his first proud moment as a father. He thinks about his first word to Letty being mama, driving in the charger with him for the first time, the first birthday they celebrated with him. He looks through al the time they spent in hiding and thinks about he has a job to protect his son by any means neccesarry. He goes back into the house and goes to check on Brian. The cross necklace is hanging on the bedpost and Dom grabs it as he thinks about what he has to do, leave his son in order to protect him. He pulls out his phone and calls Mia on speed dial.
"Mia, it's me. I'm good. Listen I need to ask you a favor."
Letty is on her motorcycle staring at her phone to see if Dom calls her before she left. The crew is at the airport waiting on the plane to be ready for them to fly.
"Plane's ready. Let's go." Tej says.
"Dom really isn't coming?" Roman says.
"No and he isn't answering my calls. So I don't know if I'm still gonna be married when we get back." She says as she grabs her bag and walks out the door. They all walk out to the plan and they're about to get on when the sound of a ca approaches stops them.
"Looks like your boy changed his mind." Roman says which makes Letty turn around to see Dom's car pulling up to the tarmac. He gets out the car and pulls his bag out.
"We're gonna give you guys a minute." Ramsey says as they get on the plane. Letty walks a few paces towards her husband as he walks up to her.
"What made you change your mind?"
"You're right. We don't run from a fight and we need to protect our family. But if we do this we're risking everything."
"We're not gonna let her get away this time. Ride or Die."
"Always." He says as he holds her hand.
"Can y'all make up on the plane, we gotta stop a robo-terrorist from taking over the world again." Roman says as he walks on the plane.
"Let them have a moment man." Tej yells at him.
"You ready?"
"Let's go." They walk on the steps and into the plane together, unbeknowest to them what Cipher has planned for them.
