North Island

Bianca Kazansky-Seresin heaved a heavy sigh as she parked her jeep in front of the small on-base house she and her husband Jake were assigned to, she had flown all night from DC where she was on special assignment with JAG and NCIS to San Diego to return to Top Gun for a mission, that for once her father, who served as the Commander of the Pacific Fleet wouldn't spill the beans on. All he said was that Jake and their two best friends from the academy Javy Machado and Natasha Trace were recalled as well.

And nothing else and it worried her. He had always been able to tell her certain things about her assignments. Her phone beeped several times in the cup holder causing her to shake her head and look down at the screen.

Her husband who had arrived before her had gone to Top Deck to get drinks with Javy and was expecting her to be there soon. She laughed and typed out a reply before gathering her bags from the passenger seat and going up to the house.

The windows in the living room were open and the front door was open behind the screen.

"The fuck Jake?" She muttered as she fumbled with her keys to get her pepper spray ready to use, "Hello?"

A strong familiar hey came from the hallway as her estranged lover Bradley Bradshaw came into view.

"Bradley? What the fuck are you doing here?" She asked stepping into the house, her fear replaced by anger.

"Bee, I can explain." "You can explain?! You swore up and down and on your parents' graves you would never leave me and you did."

He held up his hands in defense, "I can explain if you just listen." Bianca scowled and crossed her arms under her chest, "You have 5 minutes, Bradshaw, and if I don't like what you are saying, I am going to throw you out on your ass and call the MPs on you."

The older Bradshaw nodded his head in agreement, he knew Bianca would call the MPs on him. She had been 13 when she called them on Maverick after he had gotten into a fight with not him but Ice.

He stepped forward and went to put his hands on her forearms but she took a step back. "Talk." She ordered.

"Jake was right." He started shifting his position, every part of him was crying out to take her into his arms and hold her but he knew better. "I was scared of making that jump, that commitment to him. To you. Every time I talked myself into asking you to marry me, I chickened out and went back onto my perch."

A strangled coughing laugh escaped her and she quickly lowered her eyes, 'I would expect that bullshit excuse from Maverick, Bradley, not you. You are more of a man than he is. Tell me the truth after everything we have been through, I deserve at least that."

"I know and I am sorry Bianca, I am, I have regretted it every single day since I left you two at the Ranch. I let my fears and hurt take over and control my actions." He took tentative steps towards her, "For years, you are the only one that I ever thought of."

Unwillingly, Bianca raised her eyes to meet his dark ones. "I had made up my mind when I got on the plane to come out here to take you to your junior prom, that I was going to make you mine, regardless of Roger." He went on, his feet carrying him towards her, "I knew you were meant to be with me. And then you met Jake at the academy."

"It was love at first sight for you too Bradley, and don't tell me it wasn't. I saw how you two were when you came up to get me on Christmas Break. And he showed me the texts when we got back on campus."

His mouth twitched like he wanted to offer up excuses.

"You have nothing to be sorry for. I was just as guilty as you. Jake has that ability. That doesn't explain why you left us like that. It destroyed us." Her eyes searched his, "It felt like we lost a part of us. A huge part of us. It took us almost a year to bounce back."

Feeling encouraged by the constant eye contact, he stepped forward and finally pulled her into him. "I am sorry, I am more like Maverick than I thought. I was scared of losing you for good to Jake and losing him in general. We almost lost each other when you went down in flight school."

"Don't talk about that." She mumbled, she hated that her plane going down in the jet stream in flight school got brought up and how they all blamed Jake for leaving her. Yes, she understood why everyone was upset, she was upset too but she found it in her heart to forgive him because she couldn't be away from him. He looked like a sad puppy standing outside of their shared townhouse and she couldn't help herself. It caused the first major fight that she and Bradley ever had. But in the end, he understood and for the most part, felt the same way.

"It's true though B, you went down, what if you couldn't eject like my dad? You could have broken your neck and died in the water."

"Hey, hey Bradley, baby.' She commented, grasping a hold of him and pulling him into her. "I am here, I am okay."

He pulled her into him tighter, trying to get rid of that fear that had risen up.

While she was working in DC and had access to the records. She wanted to see what happened with the accident that claimed Goose's life and drove Maverick away and what happened to Duke Mitchell.

The grandfather that she never knew. For herself but now that information was going to the grave with her.

"The only way you will lose me is if you push me away again, you already pushed me away once, you aren't going to do that again. Other than Jake, Papa, and Teej, you are the most important man in my life."

He nodded his head and pressed his forehead against hers, "I am so sorry."

She laughed softly, her heart making up its mind for everything else, "Bradley, take me to bed."

Jake was growing steadily impatient, he had texted his wife over an hour ago to come to the bar but she had yet to come or reply to his message. She must have laid down in bed and fallen asleep, it was a long flight from DC to San Diego and he knew that she was ushered up to Iceman's house to see him and the younger Kazansky.

Father and brother came first, and husband came last, especially when the father was the Commander of the Pacific fleet. And a lot of the time he was okay with it because they were normally deployed together and had endless time together.

"Still no reply from the wife?" Javy asked as he handed him the darts.

"No, she probably fell asleep.' He returned before glancing at the bar feeling the eyes on him, the older man sitting at the bar looked familiar, but he just couldn't put his finger on where he had seen him before, his train of thought was cut off by his phone going off repeatedly in his pocket, he pulled it out and looked at the screen.

On it was a series of messages from Bradley Bradshaw.

"The fuck?" He muttered while sliding to unlock his phone, on the screen, were pictures of his wife and the man himself in various states of undress.

"What?" Javy asked leaning over to look at the screen causing the blonde man to lock the screen. Yes at one point in time Javy had seen Bianca naked but that was when they were in the academy and drunk as sin times were different, they were married and there had only been one man that he ever would share his wife with and it looked like he was back in their lives. And he wasn't sure how to feel about it. Like Bianca, he had mourned the loss of Bradley in their relationship and it felt like they had some sort of peace now and this was going to turn everything on its head again.

"Bianca," He started, "I was right, she laid down and fell asleep, she will be in soon." He slipped his phone back into his pocket and willed himself not to think about what Bradley was doing to his wife right now. It would come later when they were back in their small house.

"Bianca is back too." Ellie commented as she joined Penny's side, "She is coming in soon."

Maverick almost knocked his beer over, it had been a surprise when he had seen her picture up on the screen next to Bradley's, with a hyphenated last name on her uniform and her own stats up. He knew that she was as good as him and Ice but not that good.

He had always thought that she belonged behind a desk like Ellie did at JAG or like Maggie did at the commander's office. But Bianca was too much like Ice and too much like him to be at a desk.

"Did she get married?" The two blondes behind the bar exchanged a look and then glanced at the blond man who was now shooting pool.

"She got married over a year ago, she has been with Jake since the academy days," Ellie answered twisting the towel in her hands around, she had been a part of the wedding party and walked down the aisle with Bradley and hoped against all hope that he would truly be with after the wedding and for the first few days after he broke it off, he was. But just like that he was gone.

And she was left to pick up the pieces of her broken heart.

"What happened to her and Bradley?''

"That's something that you are going to have to talk to her about Dad." She answered before inclining her head to Natasha and the other two pilots that were behind him.

'Well, what do we have here Coyote?!' Jake's voice rang out, "If it ain't Phoenix."

"I don't know what she sees in him," Ellie complained like Natasha couldn't figure out why her sister loved the cocky man.

"I do, he is a lot like Ice when he was younger and a lot like Pete." Penny returned before turning back to where Jake was standing at the bar ordering more beers and Redbull and Vodka for his wife who had messaged him again to tell him they would be there soon.

Bradley grasped Bianca's wrist in his hand and pulled her to the driver's side of the Bronco, he wasn't about to let her go, not when he just got her back. "We have to keep this undercover until you and Jake work this out. Then I am all yours." "Fine.' He huffed before kissing her deeply causing her to whine. "Let's make this quick." He helped her out of the Bronco and started steering her towards the building.

Their eyes found Jake at the same time surrounded by girls.

'Bradshaw is that you!" Natasha's voice called from the pool table.

"Go, I am going to see him." She returned standing up on her toes and pressing a kiss to his cheek before starting to go over to her husband's side, pausing briefly when she saw Maverick sitting on the other side of the bar by himself nursing a beer.

Shaking it off, she slipped through the other patrons to her husband's side.

"Hey, you.' She greeted Jake, causing him to turn around and smile, "Hey." He smirked, winding his arm around her waist and pulling her into him. "Have fun?"

"All the fun." She returned, "Missed you though."

"All of me?"

"All of you." She confirmed as he leaned in and kissed her, groaning slightly at the familiar taste of Bradley in her mouth.

"Bianca." Maverick's voice came pulling the two apart.

"Do you know him?" Jake asked, looking between his wife and the older pilot.

"No, I think he went to Top Gun with the Commander though." She answered.

"Hi, Penny." She leaned across the bar and pressed a kiss to her cheek. Ever since Charlie and Carole passed away, Penny and Sarah, the Kazansky's next-door neighbor, stepped in to help Mother Bianca in any way possible.

To the point where Penny and Sarah were de facto Mothers of the Bride and Amelia served as a junior bridesmaid at Bianca and Jake's wedding the year before.

"Good to see Bee, is everything good with Ice and Little Ice?" The bar owner asked holding the cocktail glass out.

"Good, Tommy is growing like a weed." She answered as Jake's fingers traced a pattern across the silver of skin that was visible between the tank top and jean shorts that she had put on. "I almost had to spend the night up there. He didn't want sissy to go.'

Maverick and Ellie didn't miss the proud tone in Bianca's voice, the older Kazansky sibling had been in her second year at the academy when Ice had gotten a surrogate and had Tommy. She had been so excited to have a sibling that was fully hers and she didn't have to fight for Ice's attention. Turning her attention back to her husband, "I did permission to take him up after this is over. Papa can't do it."

"Why can't he?" Maverick cut in as Bianca picked up her glass but his daughter never turned her attention to him.

Jake smirked, ever since the younger Kazansky was old enough to walk, it had been discussed who would take him up since the Navy and Bianca would never let Ice fly again after he got sick with throat cancer. He and Bradley both knew it was going to be Bianca but it still didn't stop them trying to get little Ice on their side.

Picking up on how uncomfortable she was getting, Jake gathered the beer bottles off of the bar, "Much appreciated, Pops." "Thanks, Pops." She echoed before letting Jake lead her back towards the jukebox.

"Go say hi to Trace before she loses her mind." He muttered, "I will be over in a minute." She nodded her head before slipping away from him and over to where her best friend was.

"It's about time you get over here," Natasha complained moving the pool stick to the other hand so she could hug her. 'Sorry, you know how Jake gets when I don't see him first.' Bianca returned, "He was already going to come undone that I didn't come right here."

"I can see why." The dark-haired girl teased her eyes picking out the love bites and hickeys that were littering the shorter girl's neck and collar bone, 'Have fun with Bradshaw?"

"I don't kiss and tell, Nat. You know that." She returned as Javy came over and kissed her cheek in greeting, "Good to see you, Bee."

"You too Jay." She returned, "I actually missed your ugly mug."

"Bradshaw as I live and breathe.”

"Hangman," Bradley returned looking him up and down, "You look good."

" Well I am good Rooster, I'm very good. In fact I am too good to be true."

Bianca groaned and dropped her chin down, this was just like her husband to do this. It was always who had the bigger dick between Bradley and him.

"They don't change, do they?" Natasha whispered as she shook her head.

"Not at all. But I wouldn't have them any other way."

"So," Started the man that was sitting behind Bianca and Natasha, "Anyone know what this special detachment is all about?"

Most eyes turned to Bianca who shrugged her shoulders, "The Commander was mum about it."

"A mission's a mission, they don't confront me." Jake started as he rounded the pool table, what I wanna know who is going to be team leader. And which one of y'all has what it takes to follow me?"

"Shut up." She hissed under her breath looking between her husband and Bradley, things always happened like this.

"Hangman the only place you will lead anyone is to an early grave." Bradley shot.

"God damn it.'

"Bee." Natasha turned to her friend, worried, normally she would just let them go but something was different this time.

"I am fine." She returned, and she wasn't fine, she had found out while she was visiting her father that his cancer could be returning and that he wanted to go over his will with her and with Ellie. And then seeing Bradley for the first time in over a year and her father for the first time in almost 3 was a lot.

"Well, anyone who follows you is just going to run out of fuel. But that's just you, ain't it, Rooster?"

"Jake, stop it," Bianca warned.

"Just waiting for the right moment that never comes." Annoyed and hurt, Bianca went around her friend towards the bathroom. "I love this song." His voice carried as he followed his wife.

"Bianca, stop."

"Why do you have to do that every single time we are together, Jake?" She shot as she span around to face him,

"You always have to get those digs in."

"It was harmless, baby, really." He returned, stepping towards her. 'Nothing you do is harmless. Especially when it comes to me. And it comes to him."

His hands caught her waist and pulled her to him. "Maybe, I am just a little jealous that he got you before I did. I am used to having you for myself."

"Well get used to him being back, I don't think he is going to give us up without a fight." She returned. "Good thing, I am up for a challenge." He went to kiss her but was stopped by the ringing of the bell by the bar. "Go,' She said, "I am going to go back to Nat and Javy, it's been awhile." He nodded his head and squeezed her ass before going towards the bar.

"Bee! Come on!' Natasha called from the piano where Bradley was at.

"Coming!' She called before weaving in and out of the crowd towards the group around the piano. For now, she was going to enjoy seeing her friends and being with Bradley and her husband, everything else could come tomorrow when they return to Top Gun and to this secret detachment.
