TWO MONTHS LATER

AT 1327


Rome walks out of the house with a plate of meat for the grill as he passes Han, who is sitting on the steps with a corona.
"Don't burn it this time. Please?" Rome says as he walks over to Tej, who is manning the grill. Brian and Mia walk pass them as Brian holds Jack.
"Good food," Brian tells Jack with a smile. "The air quality here is lousy, the traffic is bad, but I think you'll learn to like this place."
"Yeah," Mia says as they walk over to the garage. "And here you've got your own garage so you can build a car with Daddy."
"We'll be building a car?" Brian asks Jack.
"First car better be a Charger, Jack," Dom says as he and Letty stand in front of his car.
"You mean Skyline," Brian says as he looks over at them.
"Like I said, he's a Toretto," Dom says causing Letty to laugh.
"You're confusing the kid," Brian tells them before Dom and Letty start walking over to them.
"Mia, you're gonna let him get away with this?" Dom asks her with a smile.

"You really going to do it? Tokyo?" Rome asks Han as he takes over the grill.
"Yeah, it's just something I gotta do," Han answers him before taking a drink of his beer.
"You know we got your back, whenever you need us," Tej tells him before Rome notices Anneliese, Hobbs, and Elena.
"Hey, Mia, you better hide your baby oil," Rome says causing Anneliese to smile and shake her head. "I'm just playing."
"You better hide that big ass forehead," Hobbs retorts causing Tej to spit out his beer and Anneliese to laugh.
"I was just joking but whatever," Rome says offended. "Definitely not that funny."
"It's official," Anneliese says as she stands in front of Brian, Mia, Letty, and Dom. "You're all free." Tej and Rome fist bump as Dom notices Elena behind Hobbs, who hands the file to Dom. "It wasn't half bad, having you work for me."
"We all know you were working for me, Reid," Dom says with a chuckle.
"Agree to disagree," Brian says causing them all to smile. "Thank you."
"Good luck," Hobbs tells him before Brian, Jack, and Mia go into the garage and Letty walks over to Elena. Hobbs gives Anneliese a nod, knowing she may want to stay if she is invited to.

"Not bad for a cop," Dom says as he takes a step forward.
"I never thought I'd trust a criminal," Anneliese says as she takes a step forward, standing beside him. "Until next time."
"Until next time," Dom says in agreement before Anneliese takes a step back. "Though you are welcome to stay."
"Thank you," Anneliese says as she gives Dom a thankful smile before walking over to Tej and Rome. Dom walks over to talk to Elena before she leaves.

"All right, everybody lets eat," Tej calls as he and Rome bring the food to the table.
"Need some help with that?" Anneliese asks them.
"It's all here. It's done," Rome answers her as he sets down the last plate. Brian pulls out Mia's chair for her before she sits down with Jack. "Come on, man, lets get with it." Rome grabs a chip before taking a bite.
"First bite, he's got grace," Brian says as he points at Rome causing Anneliese to smile as she sits down. "House rules, man. House rules."
"It's whatever," Rome says as he sits down.
"Any of this feel familiar to you?" Dom asks Letty as they watch everybody.
"No," Letty answers him. "But it feels like home." Anneliese couldn't help but agree with her about it feeling like home but something felt like it was missing. She knew for a fact that it is Owen that she is missing.
"That's good enough for me," Dom tells her before he sits down.
"All right, y'all. Come on, lets do this," Rome says as Letty sits in Dom's lap.
"Okay Roman," Dom says with a smile. "Bless our table." Everyone, who can, grabs hands as they bow their heads with Brian kissing Mia's hand a few times.
"Father, thank you for the gathering of friends, old and new. Father, we give thanks for all the choices we've made, because that's what makes us who we are. Let us forever cherish the loved ones we've lost along the way. Thank you for the little angel, the newest addition to our family. Thank you for bringing Letty home. And most of all, thank you for fast cars."
