All Grown Up:

Summary: The Kazansky and Kerner’s watch their daughters graduate from High School.

🚨warnings🚨: fluff, soft Slider and Iceman moments.

{masterlist 📚} {previous chapter 📎} {next chapter 📖}

In honor of our baby Mousey graduating HS in a few weeks!

It was a hot afternoon in May on the Miramar base that the Kazansky family were currently stationed at.

Ice and Dragon couldn’t be more proud of their daughters as the couple and the Kerner’s sat by one another to watch this big moment in their children’s lives.

The tight friendship between their parents had been carried on to the Kazansky sisters and the Kerner girl.

When both women were told that they had a low chance to have a baby, it pained them to know that they wouldn’t be able to experience the same things as other couples on the base.

But by what seems like a wish upon a shooting star, within a month of each other, Rachael and Jade found out that they were pregnant.

Tom and Ron were very helpful during the pregnancies and tried to be there for every appointment and when the men couldn’t, the women would be each others support systems.

They were all thankful for this day, the girls because they could finally follow in their parents footsteps and join the Navy and the couples because it showed that their babies were growing up.

The girls were all dressed in their official Navy Officer uniforms, hair slicked back in the mandatory bun, and the Navy chords laying on the back of their necks.

Nerves shot up their backs as they waited in the line before walking out to the football stadium that held the awaiting parents.

Baylie Kazansky, the eldest, started the hand holding train with the two other girls behind her. As the leader, she made sure to care for the younger two.

Raven was in the middle and the youngest of the group, the older girls protected her at all cost and wouldn’t let anyone hurt their Mousey.

Last but not least, was Amanda Kerner. The only child of Slider and Whiskey, but saw the Kazansky’s as her second family.

All the girls had ‘graduated’ in the second semester of the school year and gone to bootcamp between then and now.

Today made it official and would get their diplomas that they worked so hard for during the four years of high school they finished.

The music started and the line moved to the door, one by one all the students came outside and sat in order, just like they practiced earlier in the day.

A speech was made by the Salutatorian before the Principal and the Vice Principal made their own.

A moment of silence was announced for the Military members present and who had passed then the Valedictorian made his speech.

More time passed before the Principal started to call the names of students.

As the last of the surnames that started with J’s were called up to the stage, Baylie buzzed with excitement and squeezed Raven’s hand, who in which returned it and did the same to Amanda.

“Baylie Ann Kazansky,” Mr. Simpson called and with one last squeeze, Bay started her walk to the stairs that attached to the stage.

Thinking quickly she jumped in the air on the last step and did a little heel click, a smile on her face after she stuck the landing.

She heard the shouts of her family as she shook her Principal and the Vice Principal’s hand as she held the diploma and the photographer took the picture.

At the end of the stairs stood a junior who handed her a red carnation with a silver ribbon tied in a bow around the stem.

She was just barely to her seat before her sister was called. “Raven Alice Kazansky-Fischer.” Mouse, as her nickname suggests, shyly took the stage and did the same as the many students before her.

Seeing her older sister cause chaos, just like her mother and aunt would’ve done, decided to also do something.

So, with a half-assed plan created, she slid down the bannister and almost fell on her face.

Amanda Kerner was known for being clumsy, often falling over her own feet, so why would today be any different.

“Amanda Louise Kerner.” She stood up and started to make her way to the stage, glancing up into the bleachers to find her family. Once she did, she gave a small smile and held her head up high.

When she was on the last step she missed and almost fell flat on her face, but at the last second saved herself.

Amanda started to laugh and her face heated up a little embarrassed about the whole thing as she walked up to the Principal and copy the hundreds before her.

After she had her carnation in hand, made her way back to her seat as the next student was announced.

The three girls scooted the chairs closer and held hands again, this time their achievements in the other as they all waited for the rest of the students to be called.

Ron and Jade both could see her body move with giggles and her face flushed a light pink as their daughter took the diploma.

Tom lightly smacked Ron’s shoulder as he laughed at his niece.

The Kerner parents have no idea where their daughter’s clumsiness comes from, both steady on land and in air, but they always had a good laugh about it.

Often making jokes and sharing the moments with Tom and Rachael.

Both couples did this with their children and the hilarious memories that would forever be remembered.

It only took seconds before the laughter turned into tears as they cheered or whistled for their children.

Proud was not the word that could describe this experience, because they all felt like that wasn’t the right one to use.

Both couples felt more than proud for their children, but didn’t know if there was a word to explain how much.

After the last student was called, another speech was made and then the Principal said the sentence that the girls and the couples were waiting for, “Please give a round of applause for the graduating class of 2017! You may move the tassel from the right to the left!”

One by one starting from the closest to the stage, all the lines of students started to exit and were free to find their families.

Ron, being the tall giraffe man that he is, spotted the girls first and guided the others to the recent graduates.

He didn’t wait for his daughter to see him, immediately pulling her into a bear hug and squeezing tighter when he feels her jump, a chuckle vibrates through his chest.

He knows that she realizes who it is after the chuckle, and turns around in his arms to hug him back.

Jade joins not too long afterwards, wanting the father and daughter to have a moment just for them.

Soon Ron lets go for the same reason as his wife, a special moment shared between a mother and a daughter.

More tears are shed as the embrace continues before Jade eventually brakes it, too choked up for words.

Ron stands in front of his little baby, tears gathering at his eyes as he looks at her in the Navy Dress Blues and sees a younger version of her mother.

He lightly punches her chin and whispers, “Here’s looking at you kid.” Amanda sniffles, tears threatening to fall again as she softly punches his chest, “Here’s looking at you dad.”

Ron pulls her into another hug, wanting this moment to freeze in time.

The Kazansky’s are too lost in their own little world to pay attention to the Kerner’s.

Baylie, the daddy’s girl she is, runs to Tom first. His callsign might be ‘Iceman’ but right now, his ice cold persona is gone for his beautiful daughters.

He pulls away slightly and kisses her forehead, “Come home to me, Bay.”

Baylie reaches up to her father’s forehead barely in her tippy-toes, gives him a soft head-butt and whispers back, “Always.”

He doesn’t stop the tears, nor would he want to. Both crying freely as they hug each other tight.

“You’re tarnishing the Iceman name, you know.” She chuckles.

“Right now Bay, I could care less about that, not while I have you in my arms.”

A short amount of time passes before Raven is in his arms.

“Keep me in your heart,” Tom murmurs into her hair.

“Keep me in your mind,” Raven replied into his chest as she squeezed him impossibly tight, knocking the breath from his lungs.

He doesn’t want to ever let go, so blessed to have a moment like this to share and remember as the years go by.

He never thought he’d get to experience his children’s birth, so he was beyond happy to see them graduate.

Rachael lays her cheek against Raven’s head as the two hug, tears falling from her eyes to the young woman’s hair.

Raven was in no better shape than her mother, tears running down her face as they hugged.

After a couple of minutes went by, seeing that Bay and Tom were finishing their little father-daughter moment, she reluctantly let go. “I’m beyond proud of you my little Mouse.” “I’m proud to be your daughter, biological or not.”

Rachael couldn’t hold the gates and started to cry again, but soon was hugged by her eldest. “You know that we’ll always be your little girls right?”

Rachael petted Bay’s hair, followed by a kiss, “I know, I know. It’s just hard to believe that our babies are so grown up.”

Bay didn’t respond, just squeezed her tighter. All the words needed exchanged between them through the embrace.

The memory etched into her minds eye forever.

Individual family moments over, the two families came together and celebrated the girls’ graduation with hugs and ‘I’m so proud of you’s.’

They all took turns taking pictures of each families before asking someone passing by to take a group.

With that done, they all hopped into their cars and headed over to Top Gun where their Aunts and Uncles were gathered and ready to see the Graduates.

When they arrived they were all bombarded with open arms, food and drinks, and ‘congratulations!’

The girls could tell by the warmth and smiles that these strong and brave men and women they’ve known their whole lives were just as proud as their parents.

The girls knew that their support system was always going to be there for every accomplishment they go through and couldn’t be more happy by that fact.

And as the years go by, more and more memories were created and photographed so they could all look back and relive the moments and the feelings they all shared.

Wildest Dreams

{ An AU fic for Hangman x Cinco }

To read the Squad’s reaction to finding out the truth: check out: Spicy’s call to Jake; Lucky’s FaceTime call; and Birdie’s Anger

******

“Push! Push! Push!” Alana could hear what the doctor was telling her but the exhaustion of the last ten hours made it hard to do what she needed. Nobody was there to help her. Then again she went into labor two months earlier than expected.

Baylie and Mickey were deployed.

Grace and Bradley had gone on a second honeymoon.

“One more push and you can rest.”

SEVEN TO EIGHT MONTHS AGO

It has been a couple of months of secret hookups with Jake after he and his girlfriend, Sydney, had broken up. Having become friends after the uranium mission, Alana was there for Jake throughout his relationship with Sydney and eventually their breakup.

Neither had planned on getting together, but they did after a night of drinking with the rest of the Dagger Squad. It was just a one-time thing, they both agreed. Only that, it turned into friends with benefits.

They managed to keep it a secret for a couple of months. The only time anyone suspected anything was going on between them was the night everything changed. The night of the Navy Awards.

Jake decided it would be best if they carpooled with some of the other members of the squad. So Alana made her way to the base and met up with Jake, Baylie, Mickey, Grace, and Bradley at the rec room.

The girls are quick to hug her and have her spin in her dress. “Wow! You’re looking so beautiful!” Grace tells her.

“Got any plans for later? I’m happy to drop Mickey for you,” Baylie says winking.

Alana blushes. “It’s not too much?”

“It’s not enough. That dress will find you a husband. Hey, maybe some admiral or captain will scoop you up,” Baylie teases.

Jake ignores them and glances at his watch. “We should get going.” Bradley and Mickey each take their girl’s hand in theirs and lead the way to the limousine. Jake keeps his hand on Alana’s lower back.

Once they arrive at the venue, they all go their separate ways. Eventually, they are all seated together, as the majority of them would be receiving medals. The only ones at their table to not receive one were Alana and Grace.

The ceremony moves along pretty quickly and soon comes the drinking and dancing. Alana mostly sat and watched everyone. Jake had been chatting with Admiral Kazansky and Vice Admiral Simpson. His smile was huge when he returned.

Instead of sitting, he offered Alana his hand so they could dance. The DJ had been playing a few upbeat songs in a row. As they danced and laughed, the music changed into a slow song. Dance With You by Brett Young begins to play and Alana moves to go sit down but Jake holds her hand. “Is one slow song going to kill you?”

“No. But people might get ideas.”

“Let them. We’re just two single friends enjoying a dance.”

“Right. Two single friends,” Alana repeats, her cheeks warm from embarrassment, thinking he would maybe officially ask her out.

After the song finished, they returned to the table, only to find their friends smirking at them.

“What’s with the smirks?” Jake asks.

“You tell us,” Baylie replies.

“We’re just two single friends enjoying a party with drinks that the Navy is paying for,” Alana says quickly. “So tell, me again who do I bribe to get a shiny medal like that?” She teases in order to change the topic.

The evening soon becomes midnight and they all decide it’s time to go home to rest. The only ones to not go home were Jake and Alana. They headed to a downtown hotel to spend the night together.

He said, "Let's get out of this town

Drive out of the city, away from the crowds"

I thought Heaven can't help me now

Nothing lasts forever

But this is gonna take me down

FIVE MONTHS AGO

She was pacing along her hallway as she waited for the timer to go off. Before she could hear the timer, her stomach betrays her. Alana runs to the bathroom, for the third time that morning, with intense waves of nausea hitting and she throws up into the toilet.

Alana knew she had to tell Jake. She knew he deserved to know the truth. She recalled their last night together. It had been their most passionate night of pleasure for the both of them. When she woke up alone the next morning, there was a note on the pillow saying he’d see her later.

Hours later, he showed up at her house. He had gotten a call from Sydney. They were going to try and work things out and get back together again. Then he dropped the bomb: Sydney was a few months pregnant. After that day, Alana didn’t get many chances to talk to him, as he got deployed overseas.

Say you'll remember me

Standing in a nice dress

Staring at the sunset, babe

Red lips and rosy cheeks

Say you'll see me again

Even if it's just in your wildest dreams, ah-ah, ha

Wildest dreams, ah-ah, ha

The timer rings and she looks at the tests. Three positive pregnancy tests were staring back at her. This wasn’t in her plan. Sure she wanted to be a mother. But she never wanted to be a single mother. She lets herself cry for a few minutes before going to get her phone and trying to call Jake.

She calls and calls. No answer. She send him a few texts to please call her but they all say “Not Delivered”.

The next person she calls is her physician, whom she asks to go in for an appointment for that day. Once the doctor confirmed that yes she is pregnant, Alana called out sick the next day. She didn’t have the luxury of just resting. She found herself spending more time throwing up than anything.

FOUR MONTHS AGO

She made it past her first trimester so she knew she needed to tell her friends. Alana scoured through Pinterest to get ideas but there were so many she couldn’t decide. But then she spotted a food-related one, just in time for her turn to host their next movie night.

The day passed by quickly and soon the two couples arrived for movie night. Bradley and Mickey kept trying to set her up with other pilots but she always turned them down. She knew no reasonable pilot would want to date a pregnant plus-size woman that was their superior.

Alana had the boxes of pizza and donuts ready. Her plan was to have Grace and Baylie each open one of the boxes. The squeals are loud and they both run to hug her.

Immediately the questions come out. “Who’s the father? Does he know? Can I be the Daddy?”

Alana knew she didn’t want to lie to her best friends, but she couldn’t outright tell them it was Jake. Not before she got the chance to tell him. “It was some guy… He’s no longer in my life. He doesn’t know. I’ve tried calling and texting but I think he blocked me.”

“Thank goodness it isn’t Jake’s,” Baylie said. “That night at the awards I could have sworn you guys had something going on.”

“You two were basically eye fucking each other while you were dancing,” Bradley adds as he takes a bit of his pizza.

Alana chuckles. “Yeah. That would have been… something.”

Grace notices Alana nervously playing with her bracelet. ‘What if Jake is the dad…?’ She begins to wonder. She’s distracted as she thinks back to encounters or outings they all shared and how Jake and Alana behaved together.

“Earth to Grace! We were asking you what you think the baby would be and whose last name it should have.”

“I want it to be a little girl. Imagine all the dresses and bows we’ll buy her!” The girls are soon diving deep into talks of nursery themes, colors, and baby shower themes.

TWO MONTHS AGO

The doctor, along with Alana, was surprised that she had actually lost some weight instead of gaining. It had happened before but it wasn’t as common as the weight gain. “I guess your little one is kickstarting your metabolism.”

“Yeah, I guess she is.”

“So do you already have a name picked out?”

“Samantha Belle.”

“That’s a beautiful name. I know I’ve asked you but any news from the father?”

“No. But I can give you the names of those I want in the room with me.”

Alana gives the doctor the names of Baylie and Grace, as well as their phone numbers.

When she gets to the base, Baylie is waiting for Alana in her office. “Hey, Bay! What’s going on?”

“I got my papers. Mickey and I both did. We’re getting deployed tomorrow. It’s for a few months. I…” she gets choked up. “Babe… I don’t know if we’ll be back in time for the baby.”

Alana shakes her head. “No. I can fight it. I can talk to Ice…” Her eyes fill with tears.

Baylie takes her hands in hers and gives them a squeeze. “I tried babe. I even claimed it was mine to also get maternity leave… Guess it doesn’t work like that.” She then pulls her into a tight hug. “I’ll sneak out if I have to come see you.”

“I love you Baylie. Go and kick ass. I’ll tell your niece you’re being an example for her.”

TWO WEEKS AGO

“So, Bradley surprised me with a trip to Greece. For a second honeymoon!” Grace says excitedly over the phone.

Alana can’t help the small pang of jealousy. Here was her friend going on a second honeymoon and here she was about to be a single mother.

“That’s freaking fantastic Grace!”

“I know! And we leave in a week. I know you’re still a couple of months away from having the baby but we’ll be back in time.”

“Yeah no yeah. Take your time. Enjoy your honeymoon love. And Greece! That’s just amazing!”

YESTERDAY

Alana struggled to reach for the milk container that was towards the back. “Why can’t they think of short pregnant people?” She mutters to herself. She’s about to give up when a hand reaches for the carton and places it on her cart.

“Here you go mis- Alana?” Jake asks in surprise.

“Jake! You’re back?” Alana replies.

He nods. “Just got back last night.” His eyes widen when he sees her ever-growing stomach. “I guess congratulations are in order.” His eyes skim her left hand but there’s no ring or no tan line of one.

“Yeah. She was a complete surprise.”

“It’s a girl?” His eyes soften. “She’ll be beautiful… Do you need any help getting things?”

“I could use some help. Baylie and Grace aren’t in town today.” Before she can say more, he puts his basket in her cart and pushes her cart.

“What about the father?”

Alana exhales slowly and winces at the pain on her side. “Oh, he doesn’t know. It’s not like I haven’t tried. I’ve sent texts and emails, but I guess he just never cared much for me cuz I haven’t heard from him.”

“How far along are you?”

“I’m 7 months pregnant… Forget about me. How’s Sydney and the baby?”

Jake grips the cart handles harder and makes a sudden sharp turn exiting the aisle. “She… I… She lied. It wasn’t my baby. I was there for every appointment. Every class. Only to find out she had been sleeping around on me and it wasn’t mine.”

Alana stops in her tracks and wipes at the tears in her eyes. She was so mad at Sydney for putting him through that but here she was doing all those things alone or with her friends.

While she loved her best friends dearly, it wasn’t the same as having a spouse day in and day out to support you. To help you at home. Yes, they were her found family but she would still be lonely in the nights. Her only constant companion: her unborn baby.

But also anger boiled up in her. Anger at him for ignoring her. Was she not good enough to be acknowledged as having his kid? Was she not pretty enough? Did he just use her to get off while he wasn’t with Sydney?

“I… uhm actually I have to go home. I won’t be able to finish the shopping,” Alana says, starting to make her way to the store entrance.

“Are you sure? I can finish it for you. Just send me your list.”

“No. It’s okay. You’ll only ignore my text as you have for the last seven months!”

Never had he seen or heard her this angry. Then his brain starts catching up with her words. Ignoring. Seven months.

You'll see me in hindsight

Tangled up with you all night

Burning it down

Someday when you leave me

I bet these memories

Follow you around

Alana had already reached the exit and was getting into her car. The pain on her side increases. She calls her OB and the doctor tells her to immediately go to the emergency department.

Jake is torn between getting their groceries and going after Alana. He decides to give her time and then he’ll confront her about the baby. He goes to pay for both their groceries. By the time he made it to the parking lot, Alana was already gone.

PRESENT

“One more push and you can rest.”

Alana grunts as she pushes once more. The sound of a baby crying fills the room. Her eyes just want to close and her body feels ready to stop. “She’s lost too much blood. We need to stop the bleeding!” That’s the last that Alana hears before she decides to just take a quick nap.

The doctors and surgeons rush to stabilize Alana’s vitals and stop the hemorrhaging. It takes them a few minutes but they are able to get the bleeding to stop and they stitch her up.

At the nurses station, one of the nurses is trying to call Alana’s emergency contacts. There’s no response from Baylie or Grace. The next to be called is Viper and then finally they call Dragon.

“Commander Kazansky speaking,” Rachael answers.

“Commander. We’re calling from the base hospital. Commander Metcalf is here. She went into labor early. We have called all her emergency contacts but you’re the only one that has picked up.”

“I’ll be right there.” Rachael hangs up the phone and rushes to Jade’s office. “Whiskey! Let’s go!”

Jade looks startled. “What happened?”

“Cin… She’s in the hospital.”

“Shit! I’ll call Ice from the car while you drive!”

When Alana opens her eyes again, she’s in a private hospital room. Sitting next to her were Rachael and Jade. Mama Dragon and Mama Whiskey.

“Shhh shhh. Don’t try to move much,” Jade tells her.

“Baby… Where’s the baby?”

Rachael steps out of the room and flags down one of the nurses. “Can we have someone bring the baby?”

“She’ll be coming soon, love. The doctors say she’s completely healthy,” Jade pushes some of Alana’s hair out of her face. “How are you feeling?”

“Like complete shit.”

“Oh babe,” Rachael takes one of her hands. “You just went through a lot and so suddenly. Not to mention alone. You are so fucking brave.”

“No, I’m not. I couldn’t keep the baby safe for the full term,” Alana starts crying.

“That doesn’t mean you’re not brave. Every birth and body is different. Think of it like this now: you get earlier access to your baby,” Jade adds.

At that moment, one of the nurses wheels the baby’s cot into the room. “She’s sleeping now.” Alana has Rachael help her slowly sit up to carry the baby.

Jade immediately FaceTimes Grace and Baylie. “Guess who got here early?!”

“Who?” Grace says

“Why are you waking me up from my nap?” Baylie grumbles.

Jade flips the camera to show Alana carrying the baby.

Immediately, both Grace and Baylie are shouting and calling for Bradley and Mickey to join the call. “WIFEY! You didn’t wait for me or Grace?!”

“Baby Samantha wanted to make you hurry home,” Alana says.

“Wait… so you replaced us with Whiskey and Dragon…? Kinda rude but I guess they’re fine,” Baylie replies.

“Actually. We just got here a few moments ago. She had already gone into labor. Alone,” Rachael informs them.

Bradley starts shouting that he’s getting tickets to return home the next day.

“I’ll talk to Ice and Cyclone to get you two back stateside as soon as possible,” Jade tells the other two.

“Yeah. Okay Mama Whiskey. I’ll get our bags ready just in case,” Mickey says.

After a few more minutes of catching up and getting the details of the birth, the girls hang up with a promise to arrive as soon as possible.

Later that afternoon, the others from the squad slowly arrive to visit Alana and meet baby Samantha. Amanda and Raven both bring armloads of gifts. Javy and Natasha brought along snacks. Ron came and dropped off some compression socks and a set of pink fluffy robes: one for Alana and one for Samantha. Tom brought Alana her hospital bag with change of clothes for her and Samantha’s going home outfit.

Once everyone left, Alana laid back down with Samantha on her chest. “Hi princess. It’s you and me right now. Your aunts aren’t here but I know they’re dying to meet you.” Samantha gives a little yawn and squirm, that brings tears to Alana’s eyes. “You’re just so beautiful. You have your daddy’s eyes. They’re a beautiful green. Oh that little scowl is all me and papaw Viper.”

“The Metcalf scowl of disappointment,” comes a voice from the door.

Alana looks up and her heart starts racing when she sees Jake there. “Uh yeah. It’s a Metcalf trademark.”

“Alana… Why… Why didn’t you tell me?”

She shakes her head. “Jake. I texted you. I called and left you a few voicemails. I even emailed you… You know I’d never hide the truth from you.”

Jake takes out his phone and looks through it. “You must have thought you did but you never did. I even would call you to catch up and talk but you blocked me or changed your number. Anytime I called it rang and would direct me to dial 9 to connect to a… To a sex line.”

Alana kisses the top of Samantha’s head and extends her hand. “Gimme your phone.” She manually enters her number and hits dial. “It’s saved as Spam Likely,” she says before looking up the contact. “And it’s blocked.”

He runs a hand through his hair. “I’m going to kill her… That was Sydney. Cin… You know me. We were friends before we…”

“Before we had sex. You can say it Jake. We both agreed that that’s all it’d ever be.”

“But it wasn’t. Not for me… Alana I fell for you. I loved you then. But I was lied to and I did what I thought was right. I still love you because I know you, Alana. Even after all these months I know you would never cruelly let me down or keep this big secret from me. I’m so, so, so sorry that you went through it alone at times. All I ask is that you let me back in. Into your life and now into our baby’s life.”

Alana sniffles and wipes at her eyes. “Jake… Meet our daughter: Samantha Belle Seresin.” She carefully hands the baby over to Jake.

When Sam feels movement, she slowly opens her eyes and coos up at the person holding her. “Hi Samantha. I’m your daddy.”

Samantha coos again and closes her eyes once more to go back to sleep.

Alana’s eyes are also struggling to stay open. Jake carefully shifts her so that she’s comfortable but where there’d be space for him to sleep next to his two girls. She didn’t know it yet, but Jake was already making plans to make them a family of three once they were discharged.

Come morning time, Alana wakes up and smiles seeing Jake reading softly to Samantha. “You changed?” She asks once she notices his blue sweatpants and his white NAVY tank top.

“Yeah I had brought a change of clothes with me. Didn’t want to leave you two.”

As she’s about to reply, energetic shouts come from down the hall. “It’s my baby and I don’t care what he thinks!”

Alana turns to look at Jake. “Ready for the firing squad?”

He leans down and kisses her tenderly. “For you and our baby? Always.”

Lucky Penny - Chapter Twenty-Six

A/N: I apologize for the wait between 25 and 26. It's been a long couple weeks and I've had zero oomph for this story. Don't worry it's not ending anytime soon. I love these two idiots too much. Also, sorry this is kinda short, next chapter heads will roll.

Tagging the besties for the resties: @mrsjaderogers @gracespicybradshaw @dragon-kazansky @askmarinaandothers @callmemana @ladylanera @kloofspeaks @milesdickpic @notyoursbutlewis @cycbaby @starlit-epiphany

Lucky was done waiting around for these idiots to be ready for the mission. She knew they were pushing it back to grate on her nerves, and damn it they had been successful.

"We run the mission tomorrow Hermes, I don't care that you think your men aren't ready. They are."

"Alright Steele, let's see if you're right." Hermes smirked at her.

She doesn't correct him.

-----

Meanwhile back in California Jake was also tired of waiting, he gathered all the reports he had found and printed them out. The stack was disgustingly tall, and with them in his arms he stormed to Ice's office.

"You have to pull Lucky from the mission." He said slamming the files on Ice's desk. "The men she is with shouldn't even still be in the Navy."

"What is all this Jake?" Ice asks.

"They are formal complaints made aganist all the men on Hermes' squadron. I've highlighted all the important parts. There's a long history of abuse and misogyny between all of them."

"Why did you do this research?"

"Lucky asked me to, she wants to bury them, but they are going to get her hurt if they run this mission."

"Well Jake, I appreciate this. But I can't pull Lucky from the mission."

"What the fuck is that supposed to mean?"

"They took off earlier, they're running the mission right now."

Jake sees red. "If anything happens to her in the air..."

Ice nods, "I know Jake, I know."

-----

"Come on Hermes, get the hell out of my way." Lucky shouts.

"No can do Steele." Hermes replies.

"Bogey at ten o'clock." Joker announces, which causes Hermes to hang a right leaving Lucky totally exposed to the bogey.

"Are you shitting me?"

"Prove you're the best Steele."

Lucky takes a deep breath and reminds herself that she can do this. She pulls off a cobra maneuver that Mav taught her once and shoots down the bogey.

None of the men speak through the comms, in fact once the debris clears she can't find any of their jets.

"Hermes? Check in."

Nothing.

"Chaser?"

Nothing

"Jinx? Joker?"

You guess it, nothing.

They left her, they really fucking left her alone in enemy airspace. They were going to pay for this.

-----

The air in Ice's office was tense. Ice was sitting behind his desk, Jake was pacing behind him as the Admiral read all the reports he'd found. Cyclone and Warlock were sitting across from the desk also reading reports. Then there was Slider, Dragon, and Whiskey sitting on the couch fuming.

The phone rings and they all pause a moment before Ice answers and they hear his side.

"So the mission was successful?"

"What do you mean you don't know where she is?"

"You don't just lose a jet!"

"If she is hurt in anyway, I'll have your head."

Dragon is the first one to jump when the phone is hung up. "What the fuck do you mean they don't know where she is?"

Ice looks at his wife, and he sees the fire in them. The Dragon was about to be unleashed.

"They landed a little bit ago, everyone but Lucky."

"They just left her in an enemy airspace? How dare they. Jake is the only one allowed to hang her out to dry!"

"Hey, even I'm not that bad!"

"I know Jake, but it's kind of your thing."

-----

Pissed was an understatement, Lucky was fuming by the time she landed. She threw her helmet on the dash and climbed down, stomping her way to the rec room where she heard the laughter of the men who'd left her for dead.

Their laughter dies down when they see her walk in, fire in her eyes.

"I hope you all enjoyed your last flight for the United States Navy." She says, before heading to the women's locker room and digging through her locker for her phone.

-----

Jake's phone started playing "Cold As Ice" and he digs it from his pocket, he sees the confused looks around him.

"It's Luckys ringtone." He says trying to explain before he answers putting her on speaker and placing the phone on the desk.

"Jake, you need to take your findings to Ice right now." She says and they all hear the waver in her voice, she's angry. "We ran the damn mission and Hermes put me in the damn line of fire then they left me out there by myself. I had to dogfight my way back alone."

"What do you mean you had to dogfight alone?" Ice asks and Lucky doesn't even seem surprised to hear him.

"I had three bogeys on my tail, I took care of them myself. Plus the one that Hermes put me directly in front of. I was all alone, but I wasn't dying out there."

Looks are shared around the room, their girl had been in so much danger, but she'd fought tooth and nail to make it back to them.

Dragon walks over and speaks into the phone, "Baylie, I'm so proud of you."

They hear a noise over the phone and Dragon realizes first that she's crying.

"Oh baby, I wish I was there with you." Dragon says.

"I was so scared..."

"I know baby, but you're okay now, and you're coming home to us."

Lucky just cries on the other end, the sound breaking all their hearts, even Cyclone's cold, black heart.

"They'll pay for this Lucky, don't worry about that. You just get home." Hangman says.

"Thanks Jake, I have to go and debrief with these fucking idiots."

"Give them hell girl."

The line goes silent right as the door opens and reveals an out of breath Fanboy.

"What's going on in here?" He asks. "I thought I heard her voice."

Everyone looks at him.

"Okay you guys all looking at me is freaking me out."

Dragon makes the few strides to stand in front of him, and hugs him.

"She's coming home."

Our Beautiful Baylie

Iceman x Dragon + Daughter Baylie

Dedicated to @bayisdying

A spin off alternate timeline where Baylie is the biological daughter of Ice & Dragon.

[Masterlist]

[Previous Chapter] - [Next Chapter]

Chapter Four - Iceman's daughter

♡♡♡

Tom's first day back at base and he was missing his beautiful Baylie already. Saying goodbye to her this morning was hard. Dragon knew it too.

That's why Rachael comes to base with the stroller. She smiles at her colleagues who stop to chat with her and see Baylie. She's a popular little lady. Everyone comments about how gorgeous she is.

When Tom sees his wife with the stroller coming toward him, he smiles brightly. Not only is his gorgeous wife here, but his daughter too.

Whiskey wastes no time in pushing ahead though. She pulls her best friend into a big hug and then looks at Baylie.

"She's beautiful!" Jade gasps. "Hi, honey! I'm your Aunt Whiskey. We're going to be best friends!"

Rachael chuckles.

Tom comes to stand next to his wife and he pulls her into his arms. She smiles as she leans against him and kisses him softly.

"Hey mama," he whispers. "You brought our daughter to the base?"

"I think she was missing her daddy, and I know you missed her too. Maybe you could show her around a little and I can catch up with Whiskey."

He smiles. "Alright. I'm glad you came."

"Me too. I'll see you in a little bit."

Ice gives his wife another kiss and then takes the stroller. His daughter wakes and finds herself looking at her papa and a stranger.

"Hey kiddo, I'm your uncle Sli," Ron smiles at her. Baylie just continues to look up at them.

Ice smiles at his daughter.

"Look at you being a big softy. Being a dad suits you, Ice," Slider says.

Ice smiles at him. "I love her very much."

Slider grins. "I know. She loves you too. I can see it in her eyes. The way she's looking at you."

Ice looks back down at his baby and, just as Slider said, Baylie is looking up at him.

"Ice."

Both men look up and see their commanding officer.

"A word."

Ice nods and then turns to Slider. "Will you watch over my girl for a moment?" He asks.

Slider smiles. "Of course. I'll look after her."

Ice smiles and then leaves Slider with the stroller as he follows his commander. Slider pushes the stroller slowly down the hall. Baylie is looking up at him.

"You're going to have such a big family, kiddo. Jade and I are going to be there whenever you or your parents need us, and we can't forget uncle Mav and uncle Goose. Hey, you'll meet Bradley sooner or later. Maybe Jade and I will be able to give you another friend. Either way, you're going to be surrounded by so many people who will love you."

Baylie starts to fuss slightly. Slider rocks the stroller gently, but Baylie starts to cry. Slider panics a little.

"Are you hungry? Did you poop?"

Gently, he lifts Baylie from her stroller and holds her close to him. "Are you missing your papa? He will be back soon."

Baylie cries. Slider does the only thing he can think of doing. He rocks her gently and starts to make plane noises. He doesn't know why it's the first thing he thinks of, but as Baylie starts to quiet down, he realises it works.

"Huh, would you look at that? Maybe we have a tiny pilot on our hands," he chuckles. "Wonder if one day you'll follow in your parents footsteps."

Baylie gazes up at him with her pretty eyes.

"I do not envy the man who steals your heart. I can see just how proud my best buddy Ice is of you. They'll have to go through him before they can have you," he laughs. "It's nice to finally meet you, Baylie. We have all been excited to see you."

At that moment, Maverick and Goose comes around the corner.

"Kerner? Who's kid is that? Didn't take you for a kidnapper," Goose teases.

"Ha. Ha. She's Kazansky's."

"This is Baylie?" Nick comes over and has a look. "Baby Kazansky. Now she's a cutie!"

Pete comes over and smiles.

"Little Baylie. She's going to be a fighter when she's older, I can see it."

Ice comes down the hall and sees all three men fussing over his daughter. He smiles. These were just a few of the people Baylie would be growing up around.

"I'm back."

Ron smiles as he hands Baylie over to her daddy. Ice holds his girl. He can't look away from her. The guys smile at him.

The moment is only broken when the ladies return to the group. Dragon and Whiskey are laughing. When they see Ice with his daughter, the laughter softens. Dragon joins her husband at his side and rests her head against his arm. They both look at their girl.

"The Kazansky's," Ron chuckles, wrapping an arm around his wife. "No one is going to mess with this family."

Whiskey chuckles.

Mav and Goose smile at Dragon. She smiles back at them.

"You look good," Mav says.

"I feel good."

Goose pulls her into a hug and she laughs. "Look at you, all grown up!"

"Nick!" She laughs.

"I can't wait for Bradley to meet her."

"Soon! I'll bring her round soon."

"Scarlet and I will look forward to it."

Tom puts Baylie back into the stroller and then turns back to Rachael.

"Shall we go?"

"You done?" She asks.

He nods. Rachael smiles and said bye to everyone. Ice and Dragon leave base.

Ice just wanted to go home and look after Baylie. He missed her today.

He couldn’t put that on her, his Bird. So, before the long distance relationship could happen, he ended it. He didn’t want her to have to morn him if he did die while flying this mission, so he decided to break her heart. He didn’t tell her why, she understood the risks of his job, she too was a pilot. But, after the mission was successful, he turned from his happy go lucky self the others began to love, to a gloomy, depressed state. The other aviators pressed him for weeks before he finally gave in and told them about his ‘Birdie’ and how he made a mistake. Hearing a little bit of Bob’s story, they started to do anything and everything to try and get orders for this ‘Birdie’ to San Diego. Will their meddling help mend these lovebirds?

Love Online and in The Air - Part 1

{A Slider x Whiskey AU} | { Slider x Whiskey Masterlist }

There was nothing Jade enjoyed more than sleepy cuddles with little Grace on Saturday mornings. Today was no exception. Although, eventually they would have to get up to go to the Air Show.

Grace had recently started showing an interest in the Blue Angels. Jade didn’t blame her. The maneuvers were something amazing. Maybe in another life she could have been a Naval aviator.

Jade gets up without waking Grace and goes to brush her teeth and wash her face. Once ready, she heads to the kitchen to start making some coffee. As the coffee is brewing, she starts preparing Grace’s breakfast.

Jade then goes to wake up Grace so they can change. “Wake up princess. We’re going to the air show today.” Grace burrows deeper into the blankets. “We’re going to have ice cream and cake for breakfast.”

Grace sits up immediately but the sleep is still written in her face. “I wuv ice cweam cake… But I wuv you more mama,” she says as she lifts her arms up to be picked up.

Jade happily obliges and snuggles Grace. “Did you want to wear your blue or olive overalls?”

“Mmm. Bue. Like the Bue Angels.”

“Alright. Here’s your clothes little lady,” Jade tells Grace and she starts getting ready herself.

Although Grace was still young, Jade knew she liked having her own small measure of independence when it came to dressing. There were still times Grace needed help, but more often than not, she would do a wonderful job getting herself dressed.

“Okay. I ready mama,” Grace says coming out. “Oh no!”

“What happened princess?”

“I don’t have my purse!”

“You can borrow mine. The clear one with daisies.”

“Mmm. Otay!”

Jade picks up Grace just to hug her before they have breakfast. “I love you so much my princess.”

Grace squeezes Jade’s cheeks. “I lob you too, mama.”

Jade laughs at Grace squeezing her cheeks. “You like doing that, don’t you?”

Grace just nods and giggles.

The two of them finish their breakfast and eventually make their way to the air show. Immediately, they are overwhelmed by how many people are there. Jade makes sure to keep a tight hold on Grace as they move with the crowd. Grace points to an empty spot on a nearby small hill where they can sit and watch the air show.

Once they’re seated, Grace sips her water and turns to Jade. “Mama… Why don’t I have a papa?”

Jade was surprised at the sudden question. “Why do you ask?”

“‘Cuz I wanna know. Some of my pre-k fwiends say I never had a papa or that I’m a robot.”

Jade’s heart breaks for her little girl. “Come here sweetheart,” she says gesturing for Grace to sit closer. “You do have a papa. I wanted him to be part of your life… But…” Jade stops and sighs, wondering how she’ll tell Grace the truth without hurting her.

She looked out to the crowd for a moment before looking back at Grace. “He was scared and not ready to be a dad. He still is.”

“Oh… But I not scawy…” Grace reasons.

Jade chuckles. “Oh baby. You’re the most perfect little girl I could call mine.”

Unaware to them, another pair of ears was listening. The little girl ran to her own parents who were getting ready to be in the air show.

For You, I’d Do Anything

Summary: On her way home from the base after a hard day in the air, Dragon gets into a car crash that leads her to be rushed to the local hospital with a persistent head wound and many more injuries, Tom races against everything to make sure he can be there for her through this life-changing disaster. When Tom calms down enough, he makes a call to the couples’ best friends and found family, the Kerner’s.

Thomas ‘Iceman’ Kazansky x Rachael ‘Dragon’ Kazansky {OC} ( @dragon-kazansky )

Ron ‘Slider’ Kerner x Jade ‘Whiskey’ Kerner {OC} ( @mrsjaderogers )

Rick ‘Hollywood’ Neven x Baylie ‘Duckie’ Pruitt {OC} ( @bayisdying )

Leonard ‘Wolfman’ Wolfe x Amanda ‘Cricket’ Pruitt {OC}

📫(This is a one shot from Whiskey Bottles & Wildflowers series and Duckie & Cricket are mentioned once for a brief moment)📫

A/N📋: dividers by @firefly-graphics , cover by me ( @callmemana ).

A/N📋: make sure to checkout these amazing & talented women! They write fantastic Top Gun/ Top Gun Maverick fanfics! Check out this fic from @bayisdying on who’s Bradley’s fav 1896 pilot! Also Goose LIVES bc I want him too, so suck it.

🚨warning: inaccurate medical terms/jargon, blood, and seizing. (I got my info from Grey’s Anatomy so I’m sorry if it’s incorrect! Season 1 ep. 1 if your curious) and Navy inaccuracy!

When Tom got the initial call from the San Diego Hospital, he panicked. Had something happened to Rachael? Was she hurt? How hurt? His voice wavered as he pressed the green button, “Hell…Hello?” “Hello, is this Thomas Kazansky?”

“This is he. May I ask what this is about?” “I am very sorry to have to tell you this, Mr. Kazansky, but your wife has been in an accident. If you could please come to the hospital as soon as possible that’d be great.” “Of…of course. I’ll be there soon!”

Tom had at least broken ten traffic violations as he drove as fast as he could to the hospital. Once there, he tapped on the front desk, impatient and nervous about what is exactly Rachael’s condition. The nurse smiled, knowing he was scared, “Hello Sir, how can I help you today?”

“Um… ah… my wife, she was in a car accident earlier tonight and I’m here to see h…her.” “And the patient’s name?” “Rachael Kazansky.” He blurted, worry in his voice. “Ah, yes. She’s in room 81422. If she’s not in there, she’s either getting an X-ray or scan done, but your more than welcome to wait in the room while she’s gone.” “Thank you,” Tom uttered under his breath as he ran passed the desk and to the elevators.

In…out…in…out. Tom had so many visions of how badly she’d been hurt, but shook his head, he couldn’t think about that anymore. He clumsily reached for his phone in his pocket, found his number and pressed the call button. It only ran twice before he heard the other man’s voice on the other line, “Hey Ice! What’s up man? You never call this late?”

Tom tried to keep the tremble out of his voice, “It’s…it’s Rachael, Ron. She was in a car accident and she’s in the hospital. Your like family to us, so…” “WHAT? We’re on our way now, you know we’ll always be here for you Tom,” before the line dropped, he could hear Ron tell Jade the news.

He spun the phone in his hand and tightened his grip, taking his frustration out on it. How could he not be there for her? He knew it was impossible for this to be his fault, but put the blame on himself anyway.

Tom sat in the waiting room, head in hands as Ron & Jade rushed through the doors, startling the other occupants. “Where is she? Have you seen her yet? Did they have to take her to surgery?” Tom opened his arms, knowing that Jade would want to hug him. “I know her room number, I just can’t make myself walk in and see her all bruised and beaten.”

Jade smacked the back of Tom’s bleached blond head, “Grow a pair! She’s in there scared to death, waiting for her husband to calm her down and comfort her! Tom, I say this with love. You know I do, but seriously, go be with your wife!” Tom nodded, a little ashamed about his behavior. This isn’t about him, it’s about Rachael, his amazingly strong and confident wife.

He knocked softly on the open door, trying not to startle Rachael as she slept. “Hey Baby, how are you feeling?” Rachael gave a half-asses loopy smile, “I feel like I was hit by a bus.” “Plea…please don’t joke about that. You had me so afraid and nervous when I got the call about you being in a car crash.”

“Tom, babe, I’m fine. The only thing that’s badly hurt is my car. I just got some scraps and bruises, a broken leg, and maybe a concussion. That’s still waiting to be analyzed sense they carted me straight to the X-ray for the leg.” “I’m just glad your ok. I called Ron & Jade too, they’re in the waiting room. Want me to send them in?”

Rachael made grabby hands at her husband, wanting a hug and to be close as possible. “When the truck hit me, I swear I saw my life flash across my eyes. It happened so fast, I was so scared that I’d never see you again.” She whimpered.

“Shh, you’re ok. I’ll always be there for you Rach. I have no choice, remember our vows?” Rachael sniffled a little before a small laugh escaped her, “For better or for worst, through sickness or through health. I’ll always be by your side.”

“Exactly. Do you wanna see Ron & Jade yet?” “Yeah, Jade’s probably throwing a tantrum about not seeing me right now.” “She’s an adult, she wouldn’t.” “If she’s not able to see her chaotic best friend that’s hurt and in the hospital, she would and we both know it.” “Yeah, ok. I’ll go get them. I’ll be right back gorgeous.” He missed her forehead tenderly, before leaving the room.

As Tom entered the waiting room, he saw Ron & Jade holding hands and talking in quiet voices. “Hey, she’s ok. A little busted up, but she’s alive. Rach wants to see you both.” Jade pushed both men out of the way and b-lined it to Rachael’s room.

“Oh my god Rach! You’re ok! I was so worried for you! Tom, that shithead, didn’t tell us anything but that you were in a car accident!” Jade started to cry at the thought of her best friend, the other half of the chaos crew, was hurt. “Oh Jade, don’t cry! I’m ok, really!” “I know, I know! It’s just hard to hear!”

The two women hugged, attached to each other like glue as the men waited right outside the door. “You know that Jade and I are here for you guys right?” “Yea, of course. Rachael and I would be there for you guys too. We’re a family, Ron, thats what they do.”

“Have you called the others? The rest of the squadron would want to know, they care about you guys too.” Tom nodded, “I will tomorrow morning. It’s too late, they need to sleep, I also don’t want to overwhelm Rach with more visitors.”

“Understandable. They can be a lot.” A noise from one of the machines Rachael was connected to grabbed the attention of the nurses nearby, making them rush over.

Jade’s voice sounded above the yelling and beeping, “Help! Please help! I…I don’t know what’s happening!” “Ma’am, please, step aside so we can help her!” That grabbed the men’s attention at the scream of Jade and booked it to the room.

Nurses and doctors crowded the small space and pushed Tom, and their friends out, before the nurses helped the doctors. “Eyes not responding, push 10 milligrams of Diazepam I.M. And get her tested, order a MRI too!” “Anything specific?” “No, all of the test, now!” “Yes sir!” “Right away!”

They wheeled her away to another floor, her friends huddled together and tears running down their faces. Jade grabbed Tom’s hand and squeezed before being pulled back into Ron’s arms. “She’ll be alright, she has to be. She was smiling and talking be…before she started seizing,” muttered Jade.

It’s hours later before the scans and test come back, the doctor on her case comes over to them, “It seems as if she’s got an acute brain bleed. She’ll need surgery, and a few weeks of rest afterwards. I’ll see you after.” The doctor bid goodbye and walked off to what they assumed the operating floor to scrub in.

It’s even more time spent in the waiting room, eating cheap vending machine snacks, horribly burnt coffee from the cafeteria, and tears burning their eyes.

Tom and the couple had to call into base and let them know what had happened to Rachael and they had a family emergency and needed a few days off, which the Commanding Officer easily granted.

As the night slowly turned into daytime, Ron made calls to the squadron members to let them know about Rachael’s condition and comforted his wife and best friend. It was hard on all of them, they all formed a tight bond over the weeks of Top Gun.

Once Rachael was put in an Post-Operation room on another floor, and the anesthesia wore off, the others were able to see her. Tom sat on a nearby chair, which he drug up to the side of her bed so he could hold her hand.

Ron stayed back, and rested on the farthest wall, Jade sat on the other side of her best friend’s bed in another very uncomfortable seat she found in the hall that she carried in.

Tom felt a squeeze to his hand, he lifted up his head and saw Rachael’s dazed eyes looking around, “What the hell? Why do you have sad faces, I told you I was fine.” “Rach! Oh my god, baby! I was so worried!” Tom shouted as he kissed her hand and then her forehead softly.

Jade gingerly hugged Rachael as tight as she dared, careful not to hurt her best friend more. Tears streamed down her face as she tried to wipe them away before Rachael could see. No such luck, “Jade, I said I was fine. See! No worst for wear!”

“You just had surgery! You can’t say that!” “I would have never guessed that I was just out of surgery. I couldn’t tell by my headache, or new room.” “Please don’t use sarcasm in a time like this.” “Sarcasm is how I cope. I’m in pain and it brings me serotonin.”

Soft laughter could be heard from around the group, it would be Dragon who can make them laugh in a time like this. “So, I’m guessing that the others know too and plan on visiting soon?”

Tom missed her hand again before starting, “Yeah, round six or seven. Goose said that Bradley wants to see his favorite pilot.” “Aw, and I wanna see my lil man too! I miss him, I have seen him in so long!”

“Two days isn’t that long.” “To you maybe, but for me? It’s an eternity,” Rachael pouted. The men rolled their eyes lovingly as Jade laughed.

Six-thirty on the dot, there was a small knock on the door before a blonde woman holding a small human came in, “Auntie Dragon!” Yelled the boy as Carole looked sheepish, “Sorry, he heard this morning that Rachael was hurt and couldn’t stop begging to see you. Goose wanted to wait until later for us to visit so you could recuperate.”

“Oh it’s fine! I’m always happy to see my favorite future pilot!” Bradley was let down from his mother’s arms before running as fast as his four-year-old legs would let him to his Uncle Ice, who picked him up and sat him down on Dragon’s bed as she scooted over to make room.

“I’m glad to hear that your ok, you had us all worried when Tom called earlier and said you needed brain surgery.” “I’d say, nothing got done in the air today, all worried sick about your health. Mav was so outta his head, he almost took a nose dive more than once!” Announced Goose as he entered the room, backed by most of the squad.

“Oh, so he’s more dangerous than usual when people he cares about is hurt?” “I am dangerous, Ice.” Smirked Mav as the others laughed at the memory. “Yeah, yeah.” “How’s the best of the best doin?” “Pretty good, I got my lil buddy to help keep my mind off of the pain.” “When do you come back?”

“Um, I’m not sure. I didn’t even know I had brain surgery until afterwards.” “Nice shaved head, by the way.” Smiled Hollywood, with his arm wrapped around Duckie, his girlfriend. “Thanks, I think it looks badass.” “It definitely does,” stated Cricket, Leonard’s girlfriend and Duckie’s sister.

“Hi girlies! I haven’t seen you in a hot minute! Hugs are in order!” Said Rachael as she leaned up and waited with open arms as the two midwestern sisters made their way to the bed.

The girls smiled and gently hugged her back. “Before you take our girls away, can we get hugs too?” Dragon pretended to think before smirking and opening her arms again. Each of the men took turns getting a tight and loving hug from Rachael.

The others stayed and socialized until it was lights out for the floor and said their goodbyes before leaving. Unfortunately, this included Ron and Jade too. It started out as one of the worst days of Tom’s life, but it ended better than he expected.

“When we get home, could you stop by Wendy’s? I am craving fast food after being forced to eat this disgusting hospital food.” Tom laughed, loud and hard, before kissing the crown of her head, “For you, I’d do anything love.”

Two Plus Signs = We’re Parents!

A Papa Mine Drabble

Summary: After being married for a couple of years and no children, Tom & Rachael get a surprise in the form of a lil baby Baylie!

{masterlist📚} {previous chapter 📎} {next chapter📖}

Rachael and Tom had been married for three years and always dream of being a family one day, but after too many negative pregnancy tests, their dream seemed like it would never happen.

When she took the tests, it was more as a joke than anything. Rachael had seen a tik tok of women playing ‘Pregnancy Test Roulett’ and it looked like fun.

Both Jade and herself had felt off for the last couple of weeks and instead of being by theirselves and sad they decided that they would be together and support each other if the tests read negative.

They opened their tests, did their business, then put it in one box and waited the five minutes for the test to develop. Once the timer went off, the excitement and uncertainty coursed through their veins as Rachael ‘mixed’ the box and then held it out to Jade.

They counted to three and flipped the test over, Rachael’s was negative but the test in Jade’s hand had a clear as day solid pink cross in the window.

The women hugged and then stared at the test a while more before coming to the conclusion that they would have to retake the tests to find out which one is actually pregnant.

They wasted no time, grabbing a new test from a box and leaving to use the bathroom in different areas of the house then, they came back into the Masterbath and waited in anticipation for the timer to go off again.

The timer rings and they both rush to the counter to see the results. Jade looks at hers and feels upset, unlike Rachael and Tom, her and Ron had been actively trying for years to be blessed with a child again after losing the twins.

Rachael felt bad about her amazing news, but knew that Jade would put her own grieving aside for her friend for now. Rachael was sobbing, finally feeling the excitement roll away like an afternoon tide and the worry and fear come in.

Then came the thought of what Tom would say about this. He never had the best relationship with his own father and that scared him on the type of dad he would be for his children. Rachael knew he’d be the best dad to however many children they have in the future.

It wasn’t long till the chaotic pair came up with a fantastic way to tell Tom the news while he’s up in the air with the boys doing drills.

Rachael put the positive tests in her purse before the two women left to go to the dollar store. The little corner shop wasn’t very busy, being that it was the afternoon when they arrived.

Rachael gave a bare description of her idea to Jade before the women split up and went searching for the items they needed for the surprise.

Once they were done, Rachael & Jade drove to the base and walked to the men’s locker room.

She found Tom’s space quickly and put in the combination, opening it and the women started to decorate. When they finished, they left the base soon before the guys landed and came to clean up.

Rachael and Jade giggled like school girls as they scurried to the car, making everyone in the hallways stare at them crazily. The car ride home had the same energy as when they left, chaotic and wonderful.

Both women were excited for the next chapter in their lives and knew that they would be there for each other no matter what.

Rachael couldn’t wait for Tom to come home and for them to celebrate the small life growing in her.

As she waited for Tom to come home Rachael covered herself with many blankets and was surrounded by lots of different snacks while she watched some Disney movies.

The time would pass slowly, but maybe that’s what she needed from all the excitement that the day brought.

When she woke up by her loving husband, she was confused by what time it was. Rachael could’ve remembered it was only two when she fell asleep and now it’s six.

That power nap took longer than expected, did she not hear her alarm?

Tom chuckled at her as he bent down and kissed her, when he came back up for air he reached behind himself to the coffee table and grabbed the gift bag, then placed it softly in her lap.

“I want spicy pizza for dinner, does that sound good to you?”

Tom nodded, “For you, I’d do anything babe.”

“What's this? You didn’t get me anything right?” asked Rachael when she finally saw the bag in her lap.

“No, when I got into base today the guys had gifts for us waiting in my locker. They’re excited for the first kid of the squad to be born.”

“Well Bradley’s four so their a little late on that front don’t you think Tom?” she replied, a small smirk on her beautiful features.

Tom just rolled his eyes at his wife and nodded towards the bag, “Open it, I’ll start dinner while you’re doing that. I think you’ll love the gifts.”

Rach grabs his arm before he can walk away completely, “No, stay with me. I want you by my side.”

Tom snuggled in under the blankets and sat back watching her as she reacted to each gift. Rachael was amazed by the small clothes and other baby things that the guys, most likely their wives or girlfriends, picked out for Tom and herself.

The squad had big hearts but didn’t show it very often due to the cutthroat competition that the Navy brought in and off of the bases.

Both Rachael and Tom had met during one of the biggest competitions in their lives, being at Top Gun and graduating first was a great honor to have under your belt.

Unfortunately Rachael didn’t win but what she did get out of the experience is lifelong friendships and the love of her life.

After the gifts where opened and one last kiss from Ice he walked to the kitchen to start making the spicy pizza she asked for. Rach got up, much to Tom’s displeasure and sat at the bar to watch him.

“You know I don’t need supervision on pizza right? You can’t really mess it up unless you're an idiot like Leonard or Rick.” smirked Tom as he started to lather sauce on the premade dough.

Rachael giggled, “They may be idiots but I think even those boys could handle making a pizza.”

It was low and under his breath, but she did hear a ‘unlikely without at least a little supervision from Duckie or Crick.’

The kitchen echoed the couple’s laughter around, the sound bouncing off the walls as they continued to joke. As the laughter died down it was finally time for the pizza to go into the oven.

Rachael went back to the couch and turned the television to The Great British Bakeoff. They could watch this and snuggle while the food was cooking.

After the timer was set, Tom came back into the living room and sat next to her, laying his head on her lap like he did earlier. Rachael started to run her fingers gently in his blond locks, humming a small tune to herself as she did.

Rachael couldn’t ask for a better husband or father for her child and couldn’t wait for this precious baby to come into their lives and all the chaos that will undoubtedly happen.

Tom and Ron were just out of the jet when they heard that their wives had been here and left not too long ago. They were wary when they entered the locker room, all the guys were. Rachael and Jade are known around base as the Chaotic Duo.

Everything looked the same, nothing out of place that they could remember. Tom opened his locker and was greeted with pink and blue streamers, a sign that read ‘HI DADDY’ and a grainy black and grey picture with a small bean like shape.

This confused Tom, he couldn’t wrap his head around what all of this meant, he was a smart man, if he said so himself, but this had him stumped.

Ron was curious about what had the great Tom Kazansky frozen and with a confused face, so he walked over and saw the sign, “We didn’t need to know the kinky shit that goes on in your bedroom Kazansky.”

This caught more pilots’ attention and they made their way to his locker. Goose was the first to speak from the new crowd, “Oh, congrats Ice! Im glad that Bradley will have a buddy to play with now.” Goose clapped him on the back as the others cheered and hollered for him.

Tom was still staring at the little picture, ignoring everyone else until the seemingly last two braincells finally rubbed together and clicked. Rachael was pregnant. Rachael was pregnant and he would be a father, this scared him to death.

He doesn’t want to be just like his father and be strict and abusive to his family, but he knew that Rachael wouldn’t have married him if he was.

Tom had that little grainy picture in his hand as he left the base, mind constantly on the little bean from the photo. He was going to be a father, and he couldn’t be more happy about it.

Once he was safely inside the house from prying eyes, he ran around and tried to find his wife. Rach sat in the kitchen, dinner already fixed and table set. He ran up to her, picking her up and spun around before letting her down and kissing her passionately.

Tom was so in love with her and knew that he’d love this baby just as much. When dinner was done and leftovers put away, the adrenaline had mostly worn off and he went back to that dark headspace of being like his own father.

Rach sat on the couch with Tom’s head in her lap, softly combing his hair while they watched a movie. She looked down and saw that concerned face on her husband, stopping her movements in his hair. “What’s the matter baby?”

Tom turned his body to look at her head-on, voicing his dilemma to his wonderful and understanding wife. “I’m scared I’ll end up being like my father and I don’t want to be like him to my own kids.”

Rachael smoothed his hair back, kissing his cheek, “You take such good care of me and you’ll take such good care of them too.”

He tried to speak, but Rach cut him off before he could protest, “You, Thomas Kazansky, are nothing like your father and you’ll be the best dad in the world, I just know it.”

Tom couldn’t help the tears that split over the heartwarming words of encouragement from his amazing wife. She would never truly know how much that meant to him.

The couple spent the rest of the night in each other’s arms, not wanting to ever let go. Tom’s hand never left Rachael’s stomach while they lie together in bed that night.

The next day, Tom went into base with his head clear of doubt and acted like nothing had happened yesterday. He would put on that ‘Ice cold’ persona he always had while at work and get through the day so he could go back to spoiling his wife and unborn child.

Tom entered the locker room and opened his cubby, making the horribly stacked presents inside fall to the ground. He picked them up and carefully looked at each one. Maybe they put them in the wrong locker, but Tom couldn’t remember if it was anyone’s birthday from the squadron.

As he was looking around the guys settled and smiled or smirked at him as he continued to try to figure this mystery out.

Tom just didn’t understand why they would be giving him gifts, it wasn’t his birthday, that wasn’t until the next coming year.

Finally Ron had enough of his pilot’s stupidity, “They’re for you, surprisingly, you’re the first one in this new squadron to be a dad on purpose.”

Goose started to protest but was silenced quickly with realization that Bradley had been born some years prior to the squad’s union.

“Go ahead and open them Ice,” Mav clapped his shoulders and handed him a present that had been on the floor previously.

He was cautious as he ripped open the gift paper and the box, finding a hat inside that read ‘#1 Dad’. Ice will never omit it, but a few tears did sneak out at the gift.

Everyone around him thought that he’d be a great dad too, which was the reassurance he never knew he would need.

The pilots who had become like brothers to him and his wife had faith that he could be the best of the best in fatherhood too.

Tom knew that his little family would have so much love and support from the start and he couldn’t ask for a better found family.

“Those better be happy tears man, you’re gonna be a dad!”

“You're gonna love it, it's the best life experience ever, trust me.”

Tom opened the next gift, finding a baby sized flight suit and aviator sunglasses. “Rach is gonna love this, she’s hoping that the kid likes to fly like their parents.”

“Knowing you Ice, the kid’s gonna love being in the sky.” The room erupted in laughter, agreeing whole heartily with Sundown’s comment.

Tom opened a few more gifts before saying his thank yous and they were all called to a meeting with Viper about drills and manuvers that they could use during missions.

After the busy day all Tom wanted to do was lay his head on his wife’s lap and be near the two of them. He gathered his dufflebag and the gifts from the guys and went home.

Tom couldn’t wait for Rachael’s reaction to what the guys had given him earlier that day.

He knew that Rach would have a field day on the little clothes and toys, just like he did. Tom wasted no time in arriving at his house and finding his wife sitting on the couch under a massive pile of blankets with all kinds of snacks around her sleeping form.

He couldn’t help but think she was an angel sent down for him from God himself with how beautiful she looked. He regrettably had to wake her so he could show the presents and to ask what she wanted for dinner.

He had woke her up and greeted her with a sweet kiss before he had handed her the gift bag out of his duffle.

As Rachael pulled out each item, she laughed and awed at the thoughtfulness of the men they worked with. The last gift that she saw was a blush pink hat that said ‘#1 Mom,’ which had her crying.

The group of pilots had a high admiration for the couple. Tom had pulled out the matching ‘#1 Dad’ hat and placed it on his head, doing the same to Rach and kissing her softly.

They had no doubt that they could be the best parents for this baby.

To My Best Friend

{ Divider by: @firefly-graphics } {For @dragon-kazansky}

My dearest Rachael:

It’s only been a few years since we met and first flew together but it feels like I’ve known you my whole life. What I ever did to deserve an amazing friend like you, I don’t know. I’m just glad you came into my life when I needed you most.

Life as a wife and a mother has changed us. Some would say for the better (those some would be Tom and Ron) and others for the boring. Our nights out have changed. Our new party pals are just the cutest.

Sometimes it feels like we’re not the same Whiskey and Dragon as always. Now that you're gone I don’t know what to do with myself… Ron says to stop being dramatic that you just left for a weekend getaway with Tom. Baylie and I just pouted at him for being so rational. Like who says I can’t miss you on your trip? I bet you Slider is just as pouty that Ice is away and he can’t gossip with him!

Baylie just threw up on Slider! It was the best!! I told him not to be bouncing her too much after she ate! Aww. She's so cute Rach!!! Our girls will be the best of friends just like we are.

I guess I'll let you enjoy your second honeymoon. Ron is being all pouty and demanding my attention... Well more like he asked me out on a date. Said he got a babysitter for the girls.

Okay back from our date! Tell me what's new! Ron just kept talking about Grace and Baylie. Oh I wish I could show you the polaroid Goose took of the girls cuddling for their nap. It reminds me of our girls' night out when we would crash with each other.

When are you coming back?

That was today's adventures. I'll write more tomorrow.

Your Chaotic Wifey,

Whiskey

PS: Baylie just burped the cutest burp in her sleep and Grace smacked her.

Arms Wide Open, Catch Me If I Fall: Meet Jade ‘Whiskey’ Kerner

Mrs. Jade ‘Whiskey’ Kerner ( @mrsjaderogers )can be described in one word: badass. She could also be described as funny, friendly, nurturer, giving, stubborn, kind, and so many more adjectives. She’s a pilot that gives her all on every run and excels in every way possible. That’s how she won the heart of Top Gun’s very own Ron ‘Slider’ Kerner.

In the year 1986, a female pilot wasn’t heard of. They were nearly never asked to Top Gun, but two female pilots had gone. Whiskey & Dragon had become quiet close friends while in the presence of the men. After the first couple of days, those two were known around the base as ‘Chaos Crew’ always getting in trouble for something, sometimes small, most of the time big. But I guess that’s why Iceman & Slider fell in love with these chaotic best friends, they could always bring laughter wherever they went.

After the mission that led to Maverick saving everyone’s asses, Ron took Whiskey on a date. He saw his life flash before his eyes, and just knew that he wanted to live what time he has in this type of work with her. They ended up enjoying themselves and went on a second, third, and so many more dates before he proposed.

As the couple got older they had kids and watched them grow up. They also saw newer pilots at Top Gun, and Whiskey with a reluctant Slider, would take them under their wings and adopt them. First it was Rooster, then Bob, Lucky, and when they first met her, Birdie. Whiskey literally showed up to the Hard Deck with official documents the next day after finding out that’s where they all hung out. When Birdie first saw her, she thought Whiskey was joking, but as she read over the documents she quickly realized Whiskey was serious. The newest family member was then caught in a big group bear hug.

After Lucky & Fanboy’s wedding it all seemed alright for the group, until a couple of months later when Bob started to pull back from the squad. He was known to be a wallflower, but through that time he had become more himself, out of his shell. So, Whiskey & Dragon took it upon themselves to pressure they boys about asking Bob about his backtracking. As it turns out, Bob had a girl back in Lemoore! Most of the group was surprised by this, he seemed more of the type of guy too shy of talking to girls. After some questioning, they got some basic information about her.

Whiskey and Dragon were the main meddlers when trying to get Birdie orders to San Diego to join the Dagger Squad. As wives of high ranking officers, with a little sweet talking and threats, their men saw that the only way to please their wives were to bring ‘Birdie’ to them. After they were successful with getting her here, they needed more man power, so they brought on the other members; Phoenix, Lucky, Rooster, Fanboy, Payback, Hangman, Coyote, and Halo, to name a few.

After Birdie arrived and settled in, the meddlers took action. She was rooming with Halo and Phoenix while in San Diego and the girls asked questions and tried to get to know her better before relaying all the info to Whiskey & Dragon to help get the two idiots back together. Whiskey wanted to see her babies happy, and could see that Bob & Birdie were happy together once, Hell the whole squad could see it. They just had to meddle a little more.

Lucky Penny - Chapter Twenty-Eight

A/N: I literally am completely mind blown that we are so close to THIRTY chapters? When I first had the idea for Lucky Penny it looked so different. It was supposed to just be a sort of love letter from a daughter to the stepdad who raised her, loved her, and had to leave her. 💔 there was no love interest, just friendships, and it was supposed to be a short series where Lucky was reunited with William at the end. Now here we are, another story arc comes to an end right now. I know nobody likes Germy but he was the perfect villian and he served his purpose well.

TW: mentions of sexual harassment/sexual assault/rape but there is very little detail given.

Gotta tag my babes: @mrsjaderogers @gracespicybradshaw @dragon-kazansky @askmarinaandothers @ladylanera @callmemana @starlit-epiphany @cycbaby @callsignscupcake @kloofspeaks @roosterscockpit @notyoursbutlewis (please God let that be all of you crazy kids)

Waking up in her husband's arms had to be the best thing in Lucky's life. She'd been deprived of this for too long thanks to Hermes and his games.

"Good morning pretty girl." Mickey's voice is laced with sleep and damn if it wasn't sexy.

"Good morning." She responds, kissing him and drawing a moan from his lips. "I missed this."

"You have no idea." He says hovering over her, the kisses growing feverish and heated.

"You two better be decent!" Ice's voice comes from the other side of the bedroom door.

"Tom!" Came Dragon's voice and a groan from her husband after a smack can be heard.

Lucky can't help but laugh, as Fanboy pouts.

"After the trial babe, you can have me however you want me." She whispers.

"That's a promise right Mrs. Garcia?"

"Damn straight Mr. Garcia."

They took a quick shower together before getting ready and walking into their living room where the Kazansky and Kerner's were waiting for them.

"What happened to that key being for emergencies Ice?" Lucky asks, a hand on her hip.

"It was an emergency, you can't be late today."

"He also wanted to make sure Mickey wasn't fuc..." Whiskey started but got stopped by Slider's hand coming up to cover her mouth. She licked it but he stood his ground.

"After today none of those idiots will ever hurt you again." Dragon says. "We are going to bury them."

Dragon notices the way Lucky looks away from her, but doesn't say a word. There's more to this feud with Hermes, they have all known that. She'll tell them before too long.

When they got to base, the atmosphere was odd. Even the sky was grey and gloomy like William knew what today was going to bring.

Mickey squeezes her hand, the reminder she needs that he is right here.

The room slowly fills with everyone involved. Lucky looks down at her shaking hands, she's ready to be done with this. All of it. The door opens one last time and Lucky sees the older man who walks in, immediately wanting to hide.

"What is he doing here?" She hears someone ask. "He's been retired for years."

Lucky knows why he's here, she doesn't want him here. She turns her head and sees Jake, they make eye contact and she tries to beg him to not say anything.

The meeting starts, Ice commanding the room as the most senior person here. They go through the parameters of the mission and what went wrong.

"What went wrong is we didn't have a good leader." Jinx says when asked.

"Elaborate."

"We were sent a pilot who is not a team player, sir."

From behind her she can hear Dragon scoff, and Payback clears his throat.

"Baylie "Lucky" Garcia is one of the finest aviators to come through these walls. She was entrusted in a mission last year that required the best of the best and she led that mission." Ice says, his voice as cold as his callsign.

Lucky didn't like his voice being that cold, it scared her. She hoped she'd never have to hear it again, and never at her.

"Perhaps you're getting worse in your old age Iceman." The man from earlier spoke up, causing all heads to turn to him.

George "Strike" Bramley had been in charge when they'd gone through Top Gun years ago. Lucky didn't look his way, she didn't want to see those mean eyes ever again.

"Strike, it's good to see you." Ice says, not sounding happy to see the older man. Lucky can't blame him.

Lucky looks over and sees Hermes looking smug, of course he would. Strike was here, he'd sweep it all under the rug for him. He always did.

She tries to pay attention to the conversation going on around her. She heard the excuses the men are giving for all the reports Jake had found. She hears the Daggers making noises and comments behind her. She's overwhelmed, she doesn't want to be here.

"Can I bring something else to your attention?" Jake's voice scares her back to reality. She knows what he's about to say, she tries her best to make eye contact but he's staring straight at Hermes.

"Of course you can Jake." Ice says, and Lucky closes her eyes.

"I have a file here, number 7628293-A. It was filed by Lucky during her time at Top Gun. It's a sexual harassment claim aganist Hermes."

She feels all eyes on her and wishes she could disappear.

"That claim was recanted by Miss Steele if I remember correctly." Strike says.

Jake glares at him, "it was, on your recommendation. Couldn't have your grandson tainting the family name, could you?"

"It was recanted because it didn't happen!" Hermes exclaims.

"Yes it did." Lucky whispers.

"Lucky, honey, do you want to explain?" Ice says, his voice softer when he speaks to her.

She nods then clears her throat.

"It was about two weeks before graduation. I don't think I need to remind anyone here that I was the only female in our Top Gun class. I was in the showers after a night hop, when Hermes came in and opened the curtain. He cornered me in the shower and tried to intimidate me into quitting because he was upset I was beating him." She takes a deep breath. "When it didn't work, he started to touch me. He was about to do worse when Payback walked in looking for me. We had plans to hit the Hard Deck and I was running late. If Rueben hadn't walked in..I don't know how far Hermes was going to go to get me to leave."

"That's a lie!" Strike says.

Lucky hears Rueben curse under his breath, and she wants to look back. To remind him that he saved her that night. She remembers it all, she'd been so happy after the hop. She was singing in the shower, ready to go to the bar with her boys. Then the curtain had opened and she couldn't even scream. She just stood there and let him get closer to her, let him turn off the water, let him touch her. It had been his voice that stopped him, had been his voice that saved her, and that she could never repay him.

Instead she stares forward and continues.

"When I filed the report, it hit Strike's desk and I was called into the office. He told me that I was a good enough pilot, but that I should recant my statement if I didn't want to be seen as a girl who cried wolf. So I recanted. I was scared."

When she's done, she can hear everyone talking amongst themselves. Rooster's voice rings out the loudest.

"You son of a bitch, how dare you!" She turns around and sees Mav trying to calm Bradley down. Tears flood her vision, so she turns around quickly. She knows if he sees her tears that he'll get even more overprotective.

"But you didn't quit." Dragon's voice is strong and firm. "you didn't quit despite his best efforts, you continued through the rest of Top Gun. You won that trophy fair and square."

"Was it fair and square Dragon?" Hermes snarls. "Or did you and your husband score Lucky differently because she's the daughter you never had?"

"Shut up Luke." Strike says under his breath.

Before either of the Kazanskys' can speak up about the disrespect, it is Lucky that stands up.

"I told you yesterday, you can be an asshole to me all you want. You have been the entire time I've known you. But insulting these people? My family? That's where I draw the line with you. I've let you walk all over me for years. Because that time at Top Gun isn't the only time now was it Hermes?"

The eyes are on her again, but this time they encourage her.

"There was that time when we were stationed in Germany together."

Hermes looks down at the desk in front of him, too scared to look her in the eyes now that she holds the power.

"Bay, what happened in Germany?" Cin asks, giving her friend a careful smile, one that definitely told Lucky she would use her trusty taser on Hermes if need be.

"Hermes raped me in Germany, and this time he got to go all the way because there was nobody there to save me. Isn't that right?"

Hermes says nothing.

"And because Strike was still in a position of power I didn't report it, because I knew it would be swept under the rug just like it had been here. Because God forbid I be a girl that cried wolf."

Rooster jumps up, "you're a dead man Hermes - Mav stop trying to stop me - I can't wait to smack that smirk off your stupid fucking face."

"Only if I get a hit in too." Jake agrees.

"Oh get in line you two, I get first hit." Rueben spoke up.

"I think Mickey gets first dibs honestly." Javy adds and Phoenix agrees.

"Okay all of you, calm down." Whiskey mom voices them all.

Lucky sits down again, and the room is silent for a moment, a hand reaches out for hers. Mickey.

Mickey had never known about either time, she was too scared to even tell him. She hears Ice determine that all the men would be dishonorably discharged from the Navy for abandoning the mission and the various reports against them but she's not paying attention to them anymore. She's looking into those chocolate eyes she loves so much. She sees the hurt in them, but mostly she just sees love. He tucks a piece of hair behind her ear and she smiles. He's done that since their first date, it's a way for him to tell her he loved her with no words.

She spells out "I'm sorry" on his palm, he shakes his head and writes back on hers "I am proud of you"

It takes all her strength to not kiss him right then and there.

Eventually the room clears, until only their little family remains. That's when Lucky bursts into tears, she's finally free. She's free of everything that Hermes ever did to her. Mickey holds her close but Dragon is the first to jump over the table to get to her daughter's other side. Baylie let's Dragon fuss over her. Let's her surrogate mother wipe away her tears.

"My baby."

"It's over Momma, we buried them."

"Yes you did baby."

While his wife fussed over their daughter, Ice looked around the room at their other hooligan children. Mav was still trying to talk Rooster off the ledge, it should shock nobody that he's taking the news that someone had hurt his sister the worst. Then there was Cin being comforted by Jake who also looked ready to murder someone. Rueben was leaning over Lucky while she got cuddled. Their other kids milled about talking quietly.

The door slammed open and Hermes was standing there face red like he'd struggled against someone to get back into the room.

"You little bitch!"

Lucky flinched, and unfortunately for Hermes, Rooster saw it out of the corner of his eye. Mav had thought it was over so no longer stood next to his godson and wasn't fast enough to stop him from launching his entire frame at Hermes. Bradley isn't the only one, almost all the Daggers throw themselves into the fight too. Even Mickey jumps in after making eye contact with Dragon knowing she had Baylie.

Ice doesn't even try to stop them. He should but he doesn't. He is haunted by the fact that something so awful happened to the young woman he saw as his own here at Top Gun and that it had been erased almost entirely. That she kept it to herself all these years just because some stuck up piece of shit had Grandpa cleaning up his messes. So instead of doing anything, he let's his feral children drag Hermes off base as Slider and Whiskey supervised. Once they have him gone from the room Ice takes the seat Mickey had been sitting in and puts an arm around his two best girls.

In that moment Lucky knew she was totally safe, and when she walked outside? The sun was shining again and something shiny caught her attention. A penny.

"Thanks Dad." Lucky says to the sky as she picks it up. Face up, and the year on it? The year William Steele met his future wife and daughter.

She watches as her husband walks back to her.

"I don't think you'll ever have to see his face again mí amor."

"Thank you, for everything Mickey."

He frames her face with his hands, "I'll always do whatever my girl needs me to do." He kisses her softly.

"I'm sorry I never told you, I didn't want you to worry about me."

"I've worried about you since that first day we met. I knew a pilot named Lucky would be nothing but trouble." He chuckles.

"I think I would like to make good on my promise from earlier." She says as he kisses her again.

"Then how about I take my wife home and show her how much I love her?"

"I think that's a great idea."

He picks her up bridal style causing her to laugh so hard she snorts. They pass by most of their friends completely ignoring them. Their only mission now? Get home and jump in bed.

William, buddy, you should probably look away now.

Rooster, you too.

Iceman, don't even think about using that spare key anytime soon.

Bloody Noses & Ice Cream

Papa Mine Drabble

Summary: Lucas Bramley is a little bully leaving Baylie & Raven to do what’s necessary… like giving him a bloody nose.

A/N: Lucas Bramley (Hermes) is from Lucky Penny by @bayisdying ! Please check it out HERE!

{masterlist 📚} {previous chapter 📎} {next chapter 📖}

To say the least, the Kerner’s didn’t know what to say or expect when their baby girl was born. Amanda’s skin was fair, eyes a beautiful royal blue, and hair as dark as Jade’s chocolate brown curls.

Ron and Jade’s skin was tan or olive in color, dark haired, and brown eyes, nothing like that shown in their mini-me. As she grew, her hair became blonde and had red strands woven in the mix of wild waves upon her head, skin still fair and sensitive, and eyes looking more and more like the deepest of oceans.

Amanda looked more like her paternal grandparents. Her grandmother, Adalaide, who was fair skinned, deep ocean blue eyes, and red hair. Her grandfather, Felix, had tanned skin, brown eyes, and blonde hair.

If you didn’t know better, you’d think that Amanda looked a little bit more like a Kazansky then a Kerner and Baylie, a Kerner more than a Kazansky.

Tom Kazansky, Ron’s best friend and pilot, had sky blue eyes and blond hair. Rachael, his wife, had sky blue eyes, fair skin, and chestnut brown hair. Baylie, their daughter, had beautiful olive skin, brown-grey eyes, and dark chocolate brown hair.

Both girls the complete opposite of their biological parents, but similar to the other couple. Everyone around that knew the families would never question who’s daughter’s who’s, but they didn’t really care either.

At Top Gun, all the aviators in the squadrons were very close and saw each other as family.

Children, on the other hand, are very curious and don’t have a filter. And most of the time parents' rudeness and other traits are a learned behavior, just like their grandparents taught them.

So it wasn’t a big surprise when the first-grade bully, Lucas Bramley, decided to pick on Baylie and Amanda because they looked different than their Mommies and Daddies. “Why don’t you look like youse mommy and daddy?”

The girls’ did the big kid thing and turned the other cheek, but as the day went on and the comments got worst, it started to get on their nerves.

They had told the teacher about the comments and all she did was take him outside and talk to him each time and Luke still wouldn’t stop.

Baylie has a better control on her temper at this young of age than Amanda does, and many times did Mousey have to distract her while Bay took charge of the situation. As the day came to an end and Luke followed them around, Bay had finally cracked.

“I fink that Baylie is really Mister Ron’s and that Amanda is really Mister Tom’s. Yous don’t look like yous belong to the right Mommies and Daddies!” Bay had held her tongue and fists all day and had enough of this stupid-head.

It took merely seconds for Bay’s tiny balled up hands to punch Lucas’ face, a satisfying crunch noise echoed round the quiet classroom.

Mousey was shy, but just as over it as her sisters were at the boy, and copied her sister’s actions, punching him again in the face.

Ms. Hart, the teacher, rushed over and comforted a wailing Luke while the assistant, Ms. Jordan, took the Kazansky girls and Amanda to the Principal’s Office to talk about the rules of behavior in the classroom.

Once Lucas was feeling better and had an icepack against his bloody and slightly sideways nose, parents were called.

Of course, since the Kerner’s and Kazansky’s were aviators it took a long period of time to get ahold of them, but when the message was finally received after they all landed, the parents all headed over to the school.

Tom and Rachael knew that their daughters wouldn’t hit anyone unless provoked, they taught them better than to just swing without reason.

When the three couples arrived, all were sat down with the children and the principal and told to tell the tale of why they chose violence.

Bay was the first to speak up, cutting Luke’s remark off before he couldn’t tell a lie and get out of the trouble he deserves.

“He was walking around and spreading lies Mama! He says that me and Mana weren’t born to the right Mommy and Daddys ‘cause we don’t look like yous!”

“We told Ms. Hart, but alls she did was take ‘im to the hallway and talk to hims! He comes back in and do it all over again!” announced Ray, immediately going back to folding into herself and looking away from the group.

“Luke even made Mana cry, he deserved the punch for being a stupid-head!” with the stern look from her parents, Bay sat back down in the small plastic chairs, pudgy arms folded over her chest like her dad.

The Principal took in the information and nodded as he came up with the punishment fit for the crime. “Now that we have heard Baylie and Raven’s point of views, I’d like to hear Amanda’s and Lucas’, it’s only fair.”

“I didn’t say nothin’! They make that up-”

“No we not!” shouted Amanda, as she jumped out of her seat, face red hot and scrunched up in anger. Ron gently grabbed his daughter’s arm and held her to his chest to calm her down, by letting her listen to his heartbeat.

The soothing rhythm took affect almost immediately, her little round arms wrapped around her father’s neck as she sat in his lap to hear it better, further lulling her anger from before.

“He did say that about our Mommys’ and Daddies. Luke been being mean to us for months, saying that Daddy leaves ‘cause he don’t love me.”

Tom and Ron’s head whips to the little boy, anger stored in their eyes as they glare at him and the parents for not disciplining their child for the wrong and bad behavior he shows.

Mr. and Mrs. Bramley have their heads held high, smirks on their snobby and rich faces. Ron figures that’s where their son gets his entitlement from. Like parent, like child.

Rachael takes action, the reason why her callsign is Dragon coming to light. Using a nice and firm voice, “Tom and Ron are aviators for the Navy and sometimes the Navy has to send them away to fight the bad guys so we can stay a free country.”

Mrs. Sobby harshly grabs her son by the arm and rips him back towards her and her husband, taking no mind to the boy’s whines and whimpers.

“Don’t talk to my Lucas like he’s stupid. He’s very smart, the smartest child here no doubt, and this school is for the ‘gifted’ children, not brats like your daughters.” she snarked, Mr. Sobby behind her and smirk still proudly on his face.

“I’m sorry, did you say ‘brats’ when you addressed our girls? Because the last I checked, my daughter, nor do my nieces, act like they own and are handed everything because Ron and I are too busy to actually take care of our kids.”

“How dare you talk to me like that, do you even know who you’re talking to in that tone?”

“No, and to be honest, I don’t care. This is about your son acting out in school and bullying our daughters because he thinks that’s ok. You need to learn how to behave and then teach your son. Come on girls, let’s go to base.

As the Kerner’s and Kazansky’s left they were told that the children would be suspended for three days for fighting but would be allowed back next week.

The families started to drive back and as they did Rachael and Jade had been chatting over messages and had agreed that the girls deserved some sort of treat for staying patient as long as they did and for standing up for each other.

The parents were very proud of their daughters and knew that their aunts and uncles would be too.

Bay realized first that they weren’t on the way home and stared wide-eyed at her father, who had a knowing smirk on his lips through the rearview mirror.

Bay couldn’t contain her excitement and screamed which caused Raven to look over and start stiming by shaking her hands enthusiastically and jumping up and down in her booster seat.

Rachael looked behind her and started to giggle at her daughters’ reactions, tapping Tom on his shoulder and pointing to the backseats.

Once the car had stopped, Bay was out of her booster seat, yanking the car door open and jumping out as Ron and Jade’s car had parked beside their own.

Raven was close behind her sister, waiting for her dad to grab their hands so they could walk across the street.

Ron had Amanda on his back getting ready to carry her and asking her about the dessert she would get while holding Jade’s hand lovingly.

The small group had made their way into the Dairy Queen and ordered, the children picked out the booth they would all sit at and started to eat their treats.

It wasn’t long before little Bradley had opened the door and soon Carole, Nick, and Scarlett weren’t far behind, then Leo and Cricket, Rick and Duckie, and so many others had arrived and sat down to celebrate with them.

When it was time to go back to base, everyone said their goodbyes and told the girls how proud they were of them.

Tom and Ron carried their daughters to the car and the couples said their own goodbyes and planned playdates for the next couple of days.

The girls were put to bed soon after they got home and the parents watched the CCTV video that the teacher had sent of Bay and Ray punching that spoiled ass kid in his nose, making comments and laughing at his surprised face.

Tom couldn’t wait to show the guys what their nieces did, he knew that there’d be so much laughter and jokes made for years to come.

Lucky Penny - Chapter Twenty-Three

A/N: I'm not at all sorry about the cliffhanger. I'm evil. I know. Yell at me. I thrive in your tears.

Tagging my babes: @dragon-kazansky @callmemana @mrsjaderogers @gracespicybradshaw @milesdickpic @askmarinaandothers @kloofspeaks @breadsquash @notyoursbutlewis

Fanboy tried to not worry when Lucky was deployed, but it never worked. Especially after the uranium mission almost took her away from him.

Cin noticed how on edge Fanboy had been during classes, his mind elsewhere when it should be on their students.

"She's fine Mickey." She offered. "She's on a squadron with some damn fine pilots."

"I know Cin." He says giving her a smile that doesn't quite reach his eyes. "I'm just ready for her to be home."

She pats his arm, "soon hermano."

At that exact moment, Ice was slamming down his phone with force hoping the man on the other end could feel his wrath.

"Tom?" Dragon's voice comes from the doorway. "What's wrong?"

She always knew when something was wrong, many years of marriage does that to you.

"Lucky's mission is being pushed back a couple of weeks, apparently their flight sims aren't going as planned." He sighs putting his head in his hands.

He feels her walk over to the desk, he opens his arms to allow his wife to sit in his lap. A weight that calmed him.

"I should have fought harder for someone else to go." He mumbles into her shoulder.

"Ice, look at me." He lifts those pretty eyes to meet hers. "We both know what Hermes did here at Top Gun. He wasn't going to accept anyone else. He wants a do-over, to prove she wasn't really the best. But our Lucky? She is the best. She will prove him and everyone there wrong. Then she will come home with her head held high."

Elsewhere, right down the hall, another couple was not as...composed.

"I don't know why you didn't fight harder for her to stay!" Whiskey yells at her husband.

"I'm sorry? I was just in the room Jade, it wasn't my call."

"Ice listens to you."

Slider chuckles "He hasn't listened to me since our flying days. And he really didnt listen much to me back then."

Whiskey calms down a little, totally dejected. "I just hate how sad Mickey has been without her here."

"Me too, baby. It's been like torture knowing we did that to them."

Slider opens his arms and allows Jade to melt into him, he kisses the top of her head.

And even further down the same hallway, Cyclone was pretty sure his wife was plotting his demise. Venom hadn't talked to him since she learned he had sent Lucky on a mission halfway through the honeymoon.

She had even been staying at the Kerner's home with her bff Whiskey and completely avoided him while at work. He had a sneaking suspicion she was behind the fact that Cin had been giving him coffee with salt not sugar in it as well.

-----

While the Mama Bears were giving the Papa Bears hell, Mickey was...not having the time of his life.

Him, Payback, Phoenix, and Bob were teaching a simulation and his brain wasn't working like it should. The nagging feeling that something was wrong wouldnt go away.

"You okay back there Fanboy?" Payback asks.

"Yeah man, I'm sorry." He replies.

"We can land if you want, Phoenix and Bob can handle the class."

"No I'm fine."

Payback doesn't reply, he knows his WSO and best friend better than to believe that but he won't say it out loud. Yet.

Another voice comes over the comms. "Payback, Fanboy. Land immediately."

The voice is Cin's and nobody in the air likes the tone of voice she's using.

-----

"What do you mean it's been delayed?" Mickey's voice was louder than normal as everyone in the room just watched him.

"I received a call, their flight sims are not being as successful as they were hoping before completing the mission." Ice's voice is calm, but there is a hint of anger that scares everyone who knows Ice.

Before Mickey could throw a retort at his pseudo-father-in-law, Dragon spoke. "Mickey, we weren't going to tell you this. She's flying with Hermes, he is who requested her for the mission."

Fanboy processes this information before turning bright red, Rooster lays a hand on his shoulder but it doesn't stop the words from coming. "You gave her up to a pack of fucking wolves?"

"Mick..."

"No. I don't want to hear any excuses."

The Daggers plus Cin all share a look, they are used to Lucky being the hot headed half of the couple. In fact most of them had never seen Fanboy get angry except when they played Mario Kart.

"You know what hell he put her through when we were here the first time, and you let her go half way around the world - on our honeymoon no less - to fly with the piece of shit who made her question her abilities?"

Whiskey stands and brings him into her arms, he returns the hug but she can feel the anger rolling off of him in waves.

"Son, Lucky is going to prove once again that she has always been the best." Ice speaks up, Dragon's hand in his. "She isn't going to let that weasel win."

"You better be right, because if he does anything to hurt her in his blind jealousy? I will never forgive any of you that sent her away."

-----

Hours later, when the Daggers had gone home for the night. Jake was the only one left in his office. He had to write reports on the new recruits, and it took him forever to do them.

His cell phone rings, he assumes it's Cin calling to check on him.

"Hey babe I'm almost done here."

"Jake it's me. I don't have much time. I need your help."

"....Lucky?"

-----
