The next day, I had put up some plastic and went to town on repainting the cars. I was finishing up the last coats of black paint on two of the cars as well as their body modifications when Mia came back from the market. These two cars were Dom's and Brain's since I figured that they wouldn't want to be the police in this situation. I heard Mia talking so I opened the plastic curtain before taking my mask off, taking in a deep breath of fresh air. I smiled at Jesse as he worked on something for the undercarriage of the two cars I was just working on.

My eyes found Mia, Brian, and Rome with another man. I squinted slightly and my brow furrowed as I tried to figure out who he was. Then it suddenly hit me… Vince! I smiled before I began walking up to him. When he saw me, he smiled and pulled me into a tight hug.

"Where have you been?" I asked him. He chuckled.

"Around here. How have you and Jesse?" He asked and I smiled.

"Good, we've been keeping busy." I said before laughing when I heard Jesse.

"Vince!" Jesse ran over and pulled the older man into a hug. Vince laughed before patting Jesse on the back. It was nice to see the two of them together once more.

"You hungry?" Dom asked, catching our attention. Vince released Jesse, his smile fading into a passive face.

"Yeah, sure." Vince said.

"Good." Dom replied. "Because you're saying grace." Jesse and I couldn't help but smile. Just like old times.

"Thanks Vince." Brian said as he held his hand out for the man to shake. With no hesitation, Vince placed his hand in Brian's. They gave each other a small smile… everything was going to be okay.

"Yeah, come on baby. Who's good living?" Rome said as he touched his glass to Han's and Tej's glasses as well as mine and Jesse's bottles. I smiled before taking a sip from my Corona, leaning back into Jesse's chest as I sat on his lap. "So, we in Brazil. It's the good life. So you got about $9 million coming, what you gonna do with it?" Rome asked Tej before taking a sip of his drink.

"Me?" Tej asked to make sure that he was the one Rome was talking to.

"Yeah." The bigger man answered.

"Actually man, I been thinking about opening up a garage back home. Place where people can bring their cars and not get completely ripped off. You know what I mean?" I smiled and held out my bottle, Tej tapped his glass against it before taking another sip.

"Really?" Rome asked. Tej nodded his head. "So, your dream is to start a day job? That's stupid, why would you—"

"Nah, it's not stupid. I love what I do." Tej said.

"That don't make no sense to me." Rome said. I smirked.

"That's why it's his dream not yours." Jesse nodded his head before taking a sip from his own beer, his fingers gently messaging my hip.

"I know what I'm going to do with my money." Rico said as he walked closer to us, a plate in his hands. "Buy some cooking lessons for my man."

"See? See? There you go with that negativity, man." Tego said as he turned around. "You know me. Money ain't a goddamn thing." Rome picked up some of the ribs, looking at them before setting them back on the plate. They looked black… and not from the Barbecue sauce.

"It's going to take a little more than money to learn how to cook. That's horrible." Rome said before leaning back in his chair. Jesse chuckled, taking another sip before leaning his head against my side. I smiled before running my fingers through his now shaggy blonde hair. It had grown out a bit since we'd been living in Japan and I hadn't had a chance to cut it now that we were here in Brazil. "But, I did hear that they were looking for a chef down at this animal shelter." I smiled, it was just nice to relax and have a family around. I watched as Han walked over to Gisele with a beer.

"Go get some Han!" I said with a laugh. He turned to me and playfully glared before he continued walking. I chuckled before turning back to Rome as he got up to get a couple beers for Brian and Mia since they sat at the other table in the room. I glanced at Mia, who turned to me and shook her head softly. I smiled; I knew she wasn't going to drink so now, everyone was going to find out about her special surprise. I took another sip of my beer.

"We're less than 24 hours from the biggest celebration of our life." Rome said as he walked over to the couple. "Ya'll need a refill. This is serious stuff." Rome set a bottle down on the table. I got up, grabbing Jesse's hand, pulling him over to them.

"No, I'm good." Mia said as she pushed the bottle away from her.

"Cheers, baby." Rome said as he tried to get her to drink, pushing the bottle back over to her.

"I'm good. No, thank you." Mia said again, laughing at Rome's persistence as she pushed the bottle away one more time.

"No she can't." Brian said while tapping his bottle against Rome's as well as mine and Jesse's. Rome paused looking confused, so did Jesse.

"What do you mean?" Jesse asked as he watched the couple.

"She can't." Brian repeated again, setting is bottle down on the table as he wrapped his arms around Mia once more.

"What do you mean she can't? What is…" Rome was so dumb. I sighed before setting my bottle down and walking up behind Brian. I laid my hand over his as he rubbed Mia's belly, looking up at Rome. Brian chuckled at me before smiling at Rome.

"Are you serious right now?!" Rome asked loudly, drawing everyone else's attention to us.

"What?!" Jesse said with a laugh. I laughed as I pulled away from Brian; he smiled at me before turning back to Rome.

"Is that the reason you let him beat you in the quarter-mile?" Rome asked Dom. "That was a baby gift."

"No, that's messed up." Brian said as he pulled away from his kiss with Mia. "No, you're not taking that from me." Brian said as he pointed to Rome, a smile on his face.

"Wait, wait, hold on a second." Tej said as he walked up to us. He paused for a moment to look at Mia. "So, did he just smack that ass or did he grab and hold on to it?" We all started to laugh. "Which one was it?" Tej asked playfully.

"Congratulations." Gisele came up and hugged Mia.

"Thank you." She said as she smiled at the other woman once they had pulled away from the hug. We all congratulated Mia as Brian managed to slip away and talk to Dom. They talked for a moment before Dom lifted his bottle into the air, causing all of us to turn to him.

"Toast. Money will come and go. We know that. But the most important thing in life will always be the people in this room. Right here. Right now." Dom then said something in Italian which we all repeated, touching our glasses and bottles together. I smiled as I leaned into Jesse, this was what I missed. A time where things were simple and all that was needed was family. I smiled at Jesse leaned down to kiss me. I wrapped my arms around his neck, stretching up on my toes to kiss him back.

"You're next." Rome laughed as us, causing us to pull away laughing. This was the life. I can't help but wish this moment would last forever.
