Mere details… Dom didn’t knowĮlena says she planned on telling him about the baby after he and Letty got back from their honeymoon in Cuba. That means that Elena was pregnant when she flew out of a building and landed on a car, which could not have been great for the baby. Deckard blows up Hobbs’ office, and Hobbs saves Elena by grabbing her as they are launched out of a window. She’s back in the beginning of Furious 7 when Shaw’s brother, Deckard Shaw (Jason Statham), attacks DSS headquarters. First, at the end of Fast & Furious 6 when she tells Letty, no hard feelings, she can have Dom. That means she probably knew she was pregnant at the end of Fast & Furious 6, and through Furious 7.
