Ice had thought that somewhere above someone had been listening to his prayers and had brought that last miracle to life - Mav and Bradley returning safe and sound to the carrier in a more than battered F-14. 

Until Maverick had collapsed in his arms right there on the flight deck…

As COMPACFLT he was supposed to sit in the debrief with Cyclone and the Daggers, but there was only one thing he could concentrate on right now - the man he loved more than his own life, who was being treated behind closed doors at the moment, leaving Ice to walk the halls of the medical bay restlessly.

It had seemed like hours until finally the doctor appeared.

“Admiral.”

“Commander, how is he?”

“We managed to stabilize Captain Mitchell. He suffered a grade 3 concussion, several broken ribs and a badly sprained ankle…”

Ice could feel a huge weight fall off his shoulders, however, he also noticed the doctor's hesitation.

“What? What is it?”

“There's something else we found.”

~~~

Maverick woke to a low steady beeping sound and a warm hand holding his own. His experience immediately told him that he had ended up in med bay once again. Trying to take a deep breath, hissing against the pain in his chest, his eyes shot open. 

The surroundings were familiar as was the person sitting next to him.

“Hey…”

“Give me one good reason why I shouldn't kick your ass off this ship into the icy waters of the sea.”

“Because you love me…?”

Mav grinned at Ice, but only got a dark look in return. He had fucked up royally somehow.

“Tell me, Pete, when I asked you what medical said after the Darkstar crash, what did you say?”

Looking at Ice with wide eyes, Mav knew it was better to stay quiet in this moment.

“All clear, just some bruising… You fucking liar never went to medical, right?”

“Tom, look-”

“Because they would have never cleared you to fly being pregnant!”

The beeping of the heart monitor was the only sound for a long moment.

“That's so not funny, Ice…”

“Maybe because it's no joke, Pete.”

Shaking his head, Mav looked down at his belly, covered by the scratchy Navy issued blanket, before staring back at Ice.

“That's not possible.”

“That's what I told the doctor. It shouldn't be possible. Not at our age, not after my chemo, but then you haven't been on your suppressants since my remission and if today taught us one thing, it's that miracles do happen…”

It didn't happen very often in his life, but right now Maverick was speechless. A part of him still couldn't grasp what Ice had just told him, but there was this strange feeling inside him that made every doubt disappear.

And when he pulled Tom in for a deep kiss, he knew that he would cherish this day - and their fourth miracle - forever.
