The next morning, the team put what money they had together so Mia and Oaklynn could go to the market that way they could have a pre-celebratory dinner. Leon volunteered to go with them since they had no way of knowing where Reyes' men would be and he knows the streets. Oaklynn and Mia laugh as Leon juggles some oranges before Mia is grabbed from behind, causing Leon to quickly move Oaklynn behind him as he grabs for Mia.
"Vince, what are you doing?" Oaklynn asks as she is the first to realize that he is the one that grabbed Mia.
"Quiet! They've been tracking you," Vince tells them as Mia stops fighting against him before they see two cars full of Reyes' men show up at the edge of the market. Oaklynn grabs Mia's hand as Vince leads them through the market with Leon following behind them. Once they are sure that they are not being followed, they head back to the hideout. Roman is the first to notice them as they walk in before turning to look at Brian, who smiles until he sees Vince. Brian quickly puts down the air compressor that he was using before rushing towards Vince.

"It's okay. Wait!" Mia says as she puts her hands on Brian's chest to stop him while Leon guides Oaklynn away from the possible fight. "Reyes' guys were waiting for us at the market. Vince saved our lives." Though he believes Mia, Brian looks over at Oaklynn and Leon, who both nod because what Mia had said is true. Oaklynn smiles as she sees how Roman had been ready to back Brian up if there was a fight.
"You hungry?" Dom asks from where he and Han are looking at the blue prints.
"Yeah, sure," Vince answers him with a nod.
"Of course Old Coyotes 'R' Us is hungry," Leon teases with a smirk which causes Oaklynn to giggle as Vince flips him off.
"Good. Because you're saying grace," Dom tells Vince with a slight smirk.
"Thanks, Vince," Brian says as he shakes his hand.

Leon introduces Vince to everyone before taking the time to catch up while Oaklynn helps Dom work on his Charger. Though Oaklynn can't help but to glance over at Leon every so often with a smile on her face which grows every time they make eye contact.
"So, you and Oaklynn again?" Vince asks as he notices that they keep glancing at each other.
"I don't know, man," Leon says as he shakes his head before taking a drink of his beer. "I can feel that the love is still there and I think she does too. But she's fighting it."
"Can you blame her?" Vince asks him with a shrug.
"No, I don't blame her," Leon says with a sigh as he glances over at Oaklynn, who is laughing at something Dom said. "It's just hard starting from the beginning."
"Man, if you've learned anything from loving her then you should know that if it's meant to be then it will happen," Vince explains since he knew that Leon loved Oaklynn long before they were together the first time.
"Yeah, I guess you're right," Leon says with a nod before holding his beer out. "Thanks, V." Vince taps Leon's beer bottle with his own as he nods before they start walking over to Dom and Oaklynn. Passing Tego and Santos, who are arguing while they cook. Brian sits at the computer with Mia in his lap as they keep an eye on the tracker for Hobbs. Gisele is off on her own as she cleans her guns. Tej, Roman, and Han all sit together while enjoying some beers. Oaklynn smiles as she sees Vince and Leon walking over to them.

"Hey, Dom," Vince says to get his attention before Dom turns to look at him. "Listen uh, I know that you're all set for this job tomorrow, but if you need an extra man, I could..."
"You're in," Dom tells him with a nod before taking a drink of his beer. "There's always room for family."
"Thank you," Vince tells him with a nod of appreciation while Leon leans against the car beside Oaklynn.
"Let's get something to eat," Dom says as he grabs his button up shirt before pointing at the Charger. "Can you believe Mia calls this a curse?"
"She might be right," Oaklynn says as she looks over the car before they walk over to the others. Oaklynn lightly smiles as her and Leon's arms brush against each other while they walk. Oaklynn finally decided that she was just going to let whatever happens happen between her and Leon. She was through with fighting her feelings. She could not deny that she is still in love with Leon.

"We're less than 24 hours from the biggest celebration of our life," Roman says as he grabs some more beers before walking over to Brian and Mia, who are joined by Oaklynn and Leon. "Y'all need a refill. This is serious stuff."
"No, I'm good," Mia says as Roman tries to hand her one, causing Oaklynn to smile as she sits in the chair beside her sister and Brian while Leon rests his hands on the back of the chair.
"Cheers, baby," Roman says as he hands a beer to Oaklynn and Leon while Brian opens his beer.
"I'm good. No, thank you," Mia says as Brian and Roman tap their bottles together. Oaklynn leans back to smile up at Leon before they tap their bottles together.
"No, she can't," Brian says in agreement after taking a drink of his beer.
"What do you mean?" Roman asks as he looks between Brian and Mia confused.
"She can't," Brian answers with a shrug as Mia looks up at him with a smile.
"What do you mean she can't? What is..." Roman asks as glances at Oaklynn and Leon, who pretend to be having a conversation with sly smirks on their faces. Roman looks back over at Brian and Mia before Brian rubs Mia's stomach.
"Are you serious right now?" Roman asks as he realizes what is happening.
"Yeah," Mia answers him with a nod.
"Finally! I can talk about it!" Oaklynn cheers excitedly as she pulls Mia into a hug, causing Mia to giggle.
"Is that the reason you let Brian beat you in the quarter mile?" Roman asks as he looks at Dom with a laugh before everyone starts walking over to them. "That was a baby gift."
"No, that's messed up," Brian argues as he points at Roman. "No, you're not taking that from me."
"Wait, Wait, hold on a second," Tej says as he walks over before looking at Mia. "So, did he just smack that ass or did he grab and hold on to it?" Everyone laughs as Gisele and Han walk over to hug and tell them congratulations. Leon walks over to Dom, who is watching his sisters with a happy smile because all he ever wants is for them to be happy.

"Baby gift, huh?" Brian asks as he walks over to Dom and Leon.
"I have no idea what they're talking about," Dom answers him with a sarcastic smile.
"I can't help that you're still a Buster," Leon says as he holds his hands up in surrender.
"That's for damn sure," Vince says as he joins them with a smile, causing Brian to playfully roll his eyes.
"Toast!" Oaklynn calls out as she points at her brother which causes Leon to pat Dom on the shoulder.
"Alright," Dom says with a nod which has everyone gathering around to where they can see Dom. "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." Oaklynn leans her head on Leon's shoulder which causes Leon to smile as he wraps an arm around her waist. Dom raises his beer up. "Salud, mi familia."
"Salud," Everyone says as they all touch their beers together.
