Heartwarming / The Fate of the Furious

• The film opens with Dom winning a drag race with a Cuban Crime Boss to win back his cousin's car from his clutches; and said mobster almost kills Dom to win said race. However, as a testament to how Brian's love has changed him from the beginning of the series, he does not humiliate the boss by taking his car.
  Cuban Boss: A deal's a deal, Torretto; you have my car, and my respect.
  Dom: Keep the car (hands key back to boss with a warm smile); Your respect is good enough for me.
  • Later on, said Crime Boss personally helped Dom setting up the deal with Magadalene Shaw by blocking a camera, showing that despite Cypher's words, Dom's actions were right.
• When the submarine exploded and Dom can't get away, the entire crew, including Little Nobody, rushed in to shield him with their cars.
• Despite everything they've gone through in the last two movies, both Owen and Deckard Shaw help rescue Dom's son, even if it is mainly to get revenge against Cipher (though it's also because they Wouldn't Hurt a Child). But Deckard still returns the kid to Dom, and they have a newfound respect for each other.
  • Deckard's interactions with little Brian are also incredibly adorable as he takes great pains to make sure the baby is not scared or traumatised by the ensuing violence (playing baby music on headphones to muffle the sounds of gunfire and turning him away while he gives a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown to a mook who nearly shot him).
  Deckard: (To the baby, after dispatching some goons) Now, where's that smile? (The baby smiles and laughs) There it is!
• Dom introducing his son to the Toretto family, and even in naming him shows his true, undying love for his brothers.
  Dom: Everyone, meet Brian.
• Crossing with Tear Jerker, Elena's love for Dom and their son. She was willing to wait for Dom and Letty to come back from their honeymoon before telling, and then when faced with death, she only begs Dom to save their - his - son. Not once did she blame or hate Dom for the situation they're in, she only ask that he took care of Brian Jr.
