-

Shells and Bob did get there soon after Bradley and Beatrice, immediately looking at the blonde little girl that was currently drawing on a napkin. Shells had only seen Bianca once when she was much smaller, so to see her again was a delight. Shells always said she hated kids, but it was a lie, they all knew, she was just mush hearted to any baby or toddler there was.

And Bianca was behaving herself quite nicely, she did ask questions every now and again, questions Bradley gladly would answer for her. Beatrice only smiled watching the two interact, something about…Bradley talking to a five years old was so very charming and so very him. She knew Bianca already took him as her favorite, after Bea of course, he was Prince Rooster to the end. Which when she said it while surrounded by the others immediately made them all stare at Bradley, who in turn blushed with a little smile, “It’s how she refers to me,” he says with a weak shrug.

He didn’t mind it, of course, Bianca was a pure child, she just did that because she cared about him and cared about her aunt as well. And Beatrice loved it, she couldn’t stop smiling anytime that Bianca would ask him something and he made sure to give her his attention every time she talked to him.

He was really good with kids, at least with Bianca. She knew he wouldn’t do a bad job when he met the others tomorrow, she had a feeling the boys specially would be really interested in what he had to share, they only knew about aviation when Umberto visited and that wasn’t often. 

He was also really sweet to Beatrice whenever she felt a bit overwhelmed, he could sense it somehow and would lean closer to ask if she was okay. She always said she was just nervous but would be fine and would hold his hand for emphasis. Even during the tribute to the Admiral who passed - whose name was Tom Kazansky - he still held her hand, maybe it was his own way to ask for support considering the way he clenched his jaw trying to hold back the emotion.

Pete was called to speak, the older pilot trying his best to not get choked up, even joking every now and again about the things he knew about the admiral. Even if she wasn’t part of this world, and had never met the admiral before, she felt her own eyes brimming with tears. Especially when the admiral’s widow stepped on the stage, her kids and grandkids stood to the side, to speak about him. She doesn’t think there was one dry eye in the room, she could hear the sniffling and the shaky breathing around them. 

His widow, whose name she now knew was Genevieve, thanked every single one of the people there and told them that “Tom would never want his passing to be remembered with sadness.” and to “Remember this is a celebration, not a mourning.” Beatrice thought she was so brave, even with how her voice shook and cracked at times, she never stopped smiling, smiling wider when she turned to look at the face of her husband on the screen behind her.

After she thanked everyone and told them to enjoy the night because it’s what he would’ve wanted, Beatrice sighs softly, turning her head towards Brad whose eyes were glazed over just a bit, “You okay?” he nods, clearing his throat, smiling when she touches his cheekbone soothingly only to find it just a bit damp.

“I’m fine.” is all he says, something in his eyes tells her that this was more than just the effects of Admiral Kazansky’s death. She wondered if he somehow remembered the time when his own father passed. She wouldn’t ask him, of course, but she held his hand under the table, rubbing the side of his thumb with her own and sighing in relief when he squeezed her hand back.

While there was a layer of sadness around the whole room, it wasn’t so bad. There was music and laughter around them, Pete even sharing some stuff from his time in TOPGUN with the Admiral as well. He called him an ‘annoying son of a bitch’ but it had fondness in every word. Much like how the others talked about Hangman back at the bar, it had something within the obvious annoyance that made her smile.

It was like a huge family alright. 

During dinner she felt Bradley’s hand on top of her clothed thigh, not doing anything illegal per se, but just resting it on the plush flesh with the casual squeezing. She didn’t mind, especially because no one else in their table seemed to notice his hand there or if they did they said nothing. The conversation was mainly about the Navy, or deployment tales she hadn’t heard about from Rooster before, even Bob seemed more talkative than normal much for Shells’ happiness.

After a while she noticed that Bianca was fidgeting a bit, the little girl making a ‘come hither’ towards her aunt who immediately lowered her head to Bianca’s level, “Auntie,I need to go potty.” she whispers sweetly, still bouncing a bit on the seat. 

“Ah.” Beatrice smiles, then turns towards Rooster, “I’m going to take Bibi to the bathroom.” she says, grabbing her clutch  as she stood up. She shouldn’t be surprised when her boyfriend stood up as well, placing his hand on her lower back as she grabbed Bianca from the seat to carry her to the restrooms.

She thanks him for coming with her, kissing his lips sweetly before she enters. Rooster, obviously, waits outside leaning against the wall. Beatrice barely puts Bianca on the floor and the little girl is scampering to one of the bathrooms with her aunt close behind. From outside Rooster could hear Bianca’s high pitched voice followed by Beatrice’s calm tone, he couldn’t understand what was being said inside, the voices and music around the area made it hard for him to understand.

But, he couldn’t lie that the image of Beatrice and Bianca did warm his heart just a bit. However he immediately tried to shove that deep within his mind, they never talked about it, they were about to move in together. One step at a time, he didn’t even know if she would want something like that.

He knew he wanted to have a long term relationship with Beatrice, however long that’d be - hopefully forever - and if…the situation came and the topic arrived, he’d be sincere in telling her about it.  Just not yet, not now.

Inside the bathroom, Beatrice lifted Bianca high enough so she could wash her hands on her own, telling her to press the soap dispenser only once even if she wanted to do it a few more times. Once her hands were washed, Beatrice then carried her to the hand dryer, smiling when her niece giggled as the warm air hit her palms, drying them completely, “There we go.” she puts Bianca down, then crouches to fix her dress and headband, “Do you need anything else?”

“No, auntie.” she says, looking down at Beatrice’s hands as they fix the edges of her dress, “Auntie,” Bea hums in question, still paying attention to the dress, “When are you and Prince Rooster going to get married?”

Beatrice stills her hands, her whole body freezing as she takes in what her niece asked. It hit her like a ton of bricks, how would she explain it to Bianca? “...um…” she clears her dry throat, focusing on relatching Bianca’s Mary Janes as she tried to figure out how to respond, “...I…well, you see–” Bianca just blinked with a little smile, still waiting for a response, “I-I…Bibi, that’s, um…”

Bianca then smiles, leaning closer while cupping her hands around her mouth, “I gave him a magic rock.” she says, “When zia Martha got married! It makes people get married too!!” she had a feeling her aunt Martha told her so and Bea dropped her head forward with a heavy sigh. She hated how fast her heart was beating just at the thought. But it was too soon for that, they didn’t even move in together.

She understood why Bianca would be excited, but it wasn’t that easy, “Listen, Bibi.” she grabs her niece’s smaller hands on her own, breathing in slowly, “It’s…not that simple, it's something grown ups think about a lot you know? It’s a big step.”

Bianca purses her lips in thought, “But daddy said you and Prince Rooster already look married!” oh she’s going to kill Leonardo, “I heard him telling mommy that when they thought I was asleep.”

“Well, your daddy can say a lot of stuff he doesn’t know about.” she tries to say firmly with her cheeks burning red. She wasn’t mad at Bianca, she was just a child with the simple mindset of ‘if you want to do it, do it’ without any consequences. And Rooster was right outside, what if he heard ??? With as much strength and calm she could muster, Beatrice smiled down at her niece, “Sweetie, look, I know you…want that to happen.”

“Yes!”

“But it’s not so simple. Because…it’s…really early to think that.” the little girl furrows her brows, “Because um…there’s a lot of steps involved. A lot of them. And well, it’s a two person process, honey.” she cups her niece’s chubby cheeks with a smile, “But I promise that when,” if, the goblin voice growled in the back of her mind, “It happens you’ll be the first to know.”

The little blonde girl blinked again, but she seemed to accept that answer a lot more than whatever else her aunt wanted to say, “Okay!” 

“Good, now,” she pressed a finger to her lips, “We need to keep this between us okay? It’s a secret,” the last thing she’d want was for Rooster to freak out at the thought of marriage before they even moved in together. She holds out her pinky, “Pinky promise?”

Bianca’s smile widened as she wrapped her little pinky around her aunt’s, much like she did with Rooster earlier that nice, “Pinky promise, auntie!” she giggles and hugs her aunt. Beatrice hugs her back, even if she is a bit nervous about this sudden conversation, suddenly remembering she also needed to use the bathroom and forgot after taking care of Bibi.

With a worried bite to her lip, she walked out with Bianca to see Rooster still leaning on the wall, nothing in his expression showed he could hear them inside, “Hey,” she says, then looks down at her niece, “Can you stay with her for a little bit? I need to go too,” and calm myself down, she thought, before I freak out in front of you.

“Yeah, sure.” he says, offering his large hand to Bianca who quickly grabs it, “We’ll be waiting for you out here.” Beatrice smiles, kissing his lips sweetly before she rushes inside with the bathroom door shutting behind her. Bradley inhales happily, moving his gaze from the bathroom door to Bianca, who was using his hand to hold her up as she leaned back, swinging from left to right by using her weight.

He chuckles, allowing her to continue, even extending his arm a little more so that the little girl had more room to move, much to her delight. Bianca giggles happily, bouncing back to her feet and then holding tightly onto his fingers “Can you lift me?”

“Lift you?”

She nods, “My daddy lifts me one handed! He’s super strong!” the way she was holding onto his fingers probably meant he was supposed to hold her up as if she was a dumbbell. He just grins, lifting the little girl up with ease, earning a happy squeal from her tiny form as she kicks her legs in the air.

He does that for a few seconds, until he hears someone clearing their throat next to him. He turns his head as he lowers Bianca to the ground, “Oh,” he straightens himself, “Ma’am.” he nods respectfully to Admiral’s Kazansky widow, Genevieve, who was just smiling sweetly at him.

“Hello, Bradley, I almost didn’t recognize you.” she says kindly, holding her hands together, her strawberry blonde hair painted with faint streaks of white and yet she looks younger than half of the people there, “Until you turned around.” he laughs softly, dipping his head in thanks as Genevieve’s eyes drop to the little girl, “Oh, is she yours?”

Yours.

“Uh, no, no, she’s my girlfriend Beatrice’s niece,” he says quickly, picking Bianca under the arms to hold her up so Genevieve could have a better look at her. Bianca was anything but shy when meeting new people, something he rarely saw with kids her age - at least the ones he’s met before were always very shy when approaching people - which was a breath of fresh air sometimes.

Genevieve was smiling when Bianca introduced herself, hugging Bradley’s neck to keep herself upright as the older woman asked her if she was enjoying spending time with Bradley. Bianca corrected that it was ‘Prince Rooster’ and not ‘Bradley’ much to the other woman’s amusement, especially when the pilot’s cheeks flushed slightly. “I don’t think I’ve met your girlfriend,Rooster.” she says after a while, “Is she the brunette you came with?”

“Yeah, she’s uh, inside right now.” he says, tossing his thumb over his shoulder, realization dawning on his face, “Oh, do you want to–”

“No,no,” Genevieve laughs, waving a hand, “I was simply taking a walk, to clear my mind.” The words came out heavier than he thought, his own eyebrows furrowing with concern but the blonde woman just tapped his arm, “Don’t worry about me,I’m fine.” right after she said that, the bathroom door opened and Beatrice walked out still shaking her hands to get rid of whatever moisture the fan couldn’t dry.

“Sorry was I– oh.” she noticed the older woman talking to Bradley and her niece on his arm, “Oh, hello.”

Genevieve looked from her to Rooster with a smile beaming on her face, “Hello, Beatrice,” she held up an elegant hand that the girl grabbed with a nervous smile, “I’m Genevieve, I was just asking Bradley about you.”

Beatrice looks to her boyfriend, who’s still cradling her niece in his arms, “Oh, oh um…well!” she laughs nervously, dropping her hand from the other woman’s hold and wringing them together since she didn’t know where to put them “I…I’m glad?”

Genevieve chuckled, turning to Bradley with the same smile, “She’s a gem,Bradley.” Bea’s cheeks turned an even darker red at the compliment, even more when her niece agreed that indeed her aunt was a gem, “But please, do not mind me. I was just taking a walk, it was very nice meeting you, Beatrice.” the brunette nods with a little smile, watching the woman walk past the two down the hallway that led to the outside of the building.

Beatrice waited until she was out of view to turn her worried eyes to Bradley, “I…should I have said I was sorry for her husband?” she asks quietly, “Was I rude?”

Rooster recoils his head in surprise, moving Bianca to his opposite arm when the other started to get tired and the little girl didn’t complain, “No? Didn’t you hear her compliment you?” Beatrice just blushes harder, still playing with her fingers, “Hey, pretty girl, you are anything but rude. I think she prefers not to be reminded every now and again of what happened.”

“...okay.” 

He tsks, holding Bibi one armed to cup Beatrice’s chin and tilt her head up, “Gorgeous, don’t doubt yourself like that,” he says pressing a kiss to her painted lips, “It’s not a good look on you. And I love seeing you smile.” he whispers against her mouth, kissing her for a few more seconds before pulling back. Beatrice’s smile was all he desired for an answer, even more when she grabbed his free hand and the two made their way back inside the main room.

Bianca was put down when she noticed a few kids playing not too far from them, in the ‘kids area’ and she asked Beatrice if she could go, “Okay, but don’t wander away from the lady that’s with them.” she said, gesturing to the woman wearing a black vest who was keeping an eye on all the kids there. Bradley put Bianca down, the little girl running to the others and immediately sat down next to a boy who was playing with LEGOS.

Beatrice’s smile only broadens when she feels Bradley’s hand on the curve of her waist, she knew he wanted to wrap his arms around her but considering where they were it wouldn’t be a good idea. But she could feel the subtle twitch of his fingers, nearing the front of her stomach, “You look absolutely fucking beautiful.” His breath touches the shell of her ear and Bea laughs softly, turning to look over her shoulder, “I know I’ve said it but, ho-ly shit. You are the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen.”

She chortles quietly, turning to face him and running her hands on the shoulders of his suit, “And you look extremely handsome.” she says, leaning up to peck his lips, dropping her hands to hold onto his, blinking when he lifts his arm and twirls her around, “Brad!”

“I just want a full look,” he says sweetly, laughing at her red cheeks and bringing her closer to press their foreheads together, “...I’m glad you are here.”

“...yeah?”

“Yeah,I’ll be honest…I don’t know if I’d like to be here alone, or just with Mav and the others. Having you and Bibi is really good.” he touched the side of her face with his knuckles, then tilted his head back when he saw movement behind him. Beatrice looked in the same direction and they widened their eyes when they saw Jake nearing a standing Evelyn who was no longer sitting with her parents and was now leaning against a wall with her back to them.

Beatrice and Bradley exchanged looks, with the brunette tugging him further close to a large vase so they could hide, peeking over the leaves to have a better look, “Oh my God.” he whispers, “Do you think they are together?”

“She hasn’t pushed him away yet.” In fact she didn’t even recoil in disgust when Hangman was right by her side, he wasn’t touching her but his presence was hard to be ignored. They tried to be subtle, the best they could, using the large leaves to hide themselves and pressing up against the wall from time to time hoping they wouldn’t see the two.

There’s a ping coming from inside her clutch and Beatrice clicks it open, pressing the power button on her phone

Ev (20:21)

You two are anything but subtle.

“Oh.” she lowers the phone and peeks out the leaf, seeing that now Evelyn was alone and holding up her phone with a grin, shaking it a bit for emphasis. Both Rooster and Beatrice looked sheepish and waved at Evelyn. The woman chuckles, rolling her eyes then going back to her phone

Ev (20:24)

I’m going to go back to my seat. Don’t tell Shells or else she’d never leave me be.

And after that she turns around, leaving the couple alone and staring at where she once stood, “Well…” he lets out a quiet laugh, “That happened…should we go back?”

“...yeah it might be a good idea.”

-

They leave when it’s past Bianca’s common bedtime, the little girl resting her head on her aunt’s shoulder as she takes her to the car. She doesn’t wake up when Beatrice buckles her on the seat, just lolls her head to the side, only actually waking up when they arrive at Beatrice’s house.

Rooster waits for Bea to take the little girl out, he removes the seat himself and grabs the duffel bag he kept under the front seats for when he got there, following Beatrice into the house only to be greeted by a very excited Jolene. Bianca made a noise on her aunt’s shoulder, something that resembled Jolene’s name but was too quiet to be understood “I’m going to change her.” she whispers to Rooster, “Then bring the mattress out.”

“Mattress?”

“Yeah, I keep an inflatable mattress for Bibi whenever she has to sleep over. I used to do it back when I lived with my parents because Leo and Cyn didn’t want her getting used to sharing a bed with other people.” she says, adjusting the little girl in her arms while kicking off her shoes with a sigh of relief, “I’ll be right back.”

But he follows her up the stairs, “I can help.” he says, unbuttoning his suit jacket and trying to hold back the grin of her eyes dropping when his undershirt comes into view. She didn’t say anything but she nodded before disappearing inside the bathroom with a sleepy voice Bianca asking her what was going on, “Where do you keep the mattress?”

“Oh, it’s under my bed.” she says and he hears her telling Bianca to lift her arms so she can put on her onesie, “It’s a dark blue bag with a yellow smiley face on it.” He crouches next to her bed after he kicks off his shoes, tilting his head until he sees the smiley face. The bag is squished between the bedframe and the floor, so it takes a little while to yank it out, grunting to himself until it’s finally visible.

He sits back on the bed and pulls the mattress out just in time for Bea to come out as well, now wearing her long shirt and pants she wore as pajamas, smiling at him and holding a dinosaur onesie dressed Bianca in her arms, “Oh,’ he sounds pained, slapping his hand over his heart, “Oh that’s so cute.”

Beatrice laughs quietly,  face completely clean of makeup , “You can go change.” She says gently lowering her niece onto the bed, “I’ll set up the mattress.”

“You sure?” she nods, approaching him to kiss his lips and grab the bag from his hands, he smiles, following her mouth with his head to press a few more pecks to her lips before he stands up to go to the bathroom. Beatrice smiles as she picks up the mattress and makes her way downstairs, silently picking up her coffee table and putting it to the side before she drops the mattress to the floor. 

Something inside of it clicks and the blackish blue flat fabric slowly begins to inflate, Jolene watching this ordeal with her eyes on it and still seated on the couch. Four legs pop from under the mattress, making it stand a good distance from the floor, going from a paper thin structure to a large queen sized bed that took a good chunk of space in her living room. 

She rushes back upstairs to grab a few blankets and sheets, alongside Bianca who now was already fast asleep. Since her niece was so small, she made sure to make the couch as comfortable as it possibly could since she’d want to sleep next to Jolene, “Jojo?” Bianca asks when Bea puts her down on top of the various pillows she arranged, the pitbull quickly leaping on the bed and snuggling closer to Bianca, who hugs her neck.

Beatrice smiles, pulling the dinosaur hoodie back just enough so her lips touched her niece’s forehead, then Jolene’s head. When she leaned back, she saw Bradley looking around her room in confusion until his eyes met hers on the lower floor. Beatrice walks closer to the staircase with her hands on her hips, meeting Rooster when he steps down, “I thought we were staying up there?”

“No, I can’t see Bibi if I do.” She looks over her shoulder to the mattress, “I usually sleep down here because she loves the couch and loves sleeping with Jolene.” The five years old was hugging the dog’s neck as they slept soundly. “If she needs my help I can get her quickly…is that okay with you?” Would he think it was weird?

“Yeah,” he smiles, “It’s fine, I was just expecting us to be up there, is all.” He walks closer to the inflatable mattress and blinks at how soft it is. And spacious, “Woah,I love this, it’s so nice??”

“I used it while going camping, it’s really good.” she says quietly, keeping her tone down so her niece wouldn’t wake up. She lay down next to Rooster and the two of them focused their eyes on Bianca’s sleeping form, the blanket now covered both her and Jolene, with the dog huffing in her sleep as she dreamed. When Bea turns to face Bradley again she finds him already looking at her with an unreadable gaze, “What?”

He purses his lips,shakes his head and tries to hold back his own smile, “Nothing, gorgeous.” he whispers, “Just looking at you and how amazing you are.” she laughs quietly, covering her mouth with a hand so Bianca won’t wake up. He pulls the covers up to their shoulders, still facing her, “No wonder she loves you so much.”

“I love her too.” she whispers, looking back at her sleeping niece with her own eyes blinking heavily, “We better sleep, we have a long day tomorrow.” for obvious reasons, she thought.

“Yeah,” he tried to hold back his own yawn without success, chuckling tiredly when she smiled up at him, “C’mere,” he wraps his arms around her, turning her around so her back touched his chest and her vision remained on Bianca, “There, much better.” he says against her ear, leaning down to kiss the skin below her lobe.

“It is.” she says, leaning back just enough to kiss his lips, “Night Roos.I love you.”

“I love you too, gorgeous.” he murmurs, his own voice dropping into a tired tone as Beatrice watches his eyes slowly drop shut and his breathing get even. She smiles, then turns to see check on her niece one last time, gently rubbing her smaller hand and Jolene’s toe beans before she too drifted off into dreamland.

Congrats on the 3k thats amazing!

Is it too late for me to do my rec for my own saga featuring Rooster/ Kazansky OC/ Hangman? (This is the OC I used for Last Christmas one shot that I did for your Christmas celebration.)

Its called Chasing Angels and this is the masterlist for it: https://roadtogracelandx45.tumblr.com/post/708650128471441408/chasing-angels-top-gun-maverick-masterlist

This has been a labor of love and hate for over a year but the basic jisit of it is this: Being a Kazansky wasn’t easy, especially going into the academy, and it was even harder when your other grandfather disappeared on a mission. And she hadn't meant to fall in love with Bradley Bradshaw, a man that she had known since she was a child but also Jake Seresin, a man that was frustrating as her father Maverick. But Bianca Kazansky is ready to prove that she is more than just her name and help Maverick try and rebuild their family before Iceman dies. Because they all knew that Maverick always messed things up and hopefully his daughter can help him fix it before it was too late.

hey Ash! This is awesome, thank you for recommending your fic! I cannot wait to read the whole thing, we love a series around here! I know we have so many Iceman Fam friends in the fandom and I'm so thrilled to get this out there and more especially, get in there and indulge myself!

North Island 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

His mouth twitched like he wanted to offer up excuses.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

**

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

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

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

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

On it was a series of messages from Bradley Bradshaw. 

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

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

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

**

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

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

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

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

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

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

"What happened to her and Bradley?'' 

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

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

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

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

**

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

 "All of me?" 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  "Bradshaw as I live and breathe.”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

"God damn it.' 

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

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

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

 "Jake, stop it," Bianca warned. 

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

**

"Bianca, stop." 

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

"You always have to get those digs in."

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

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

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

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

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

6. “Were you ever going to tell Mel/16.  “Can we have this conversation when you aren’t upset?”  With rooster

This is going to be kind of tied into Chasing Angels and the polyamory relationship between Rooster/Bianca/ Hangman

I have no idea where this came from but I kind of like the way it turned out.

**

The chiming of a video call on Rooster Bradshaw's laptop pulled him out of the doze he had been in. He had been waiting for his girlfriend to call him since she had been sent to Virginia on special assignment while he and Hangman were both out on deployment. "Hey, you.' He greeted her once he was able to open the call.

"Hey." Bianca Kazansky returned with a bright smile, "Sorry if I woke you. I just got home."

Rooster let out a tired laugh, "You are fine, I haven't been sleeping too well."

"I haven't either. I have built a pillow fort around me so it's like I have you and Jake with me. It's weird not having one of you here with me." They had been together for almost 3 years and this was the longest time they had been separated. Especially for Jake and Bianca, who had gone through the academy and flight school together. "Too quiet?" He asked as he shifted to sit up on his bunk, his bunkmate peered out from the other bunk curious. "Girlfriend." He mouthed. "You have no idea. ' She returned, "I don't think I was meant to be behind the desk like Papa."

"Well baby, not all of us are the Admiral."

The nosy roommate leaned even more forward, "You are dating an admiral's daughter?" "Yeah, her old man is Admiral Kazansky." The man laughed and sank back into his pillows again, "I don't envy you at all." They had all heard stories about how Admiral Kazansky was with his daughter, and how he treated any of the men that tried to date her.

Bradshaw was a lot braver than they all had thought.

"Why did you take the assignment? I know he didn't send you out there because of an accident like he would have with Maverick, What happened?' Rooster commented turning his attention to Bianca who frowned. "Bee."

"Papa got me this assignment because of what happened a couple of weeks ago.'

His whole body went ramrod straight, as he shoved the other earbud into his ear, "What happened?'

"I um had a miscarriage." There were fresh tears in her eyes and she tried to will them away before they fell.

"WHAT!" He almost came unglued, surprise, fear, and hurt filling him, "You were ever going to tell me?"

"I was.' She tried to defend herself but the tears fell and she tried to curl into herself the best she could with her laptop on her lap, "It's been hard to get into contact with you and with Jake."

"You could have had your dad pull strings to get in contact with us."

"Bradley." His heart broke at the tears and how defeated she sounded and he wished that he and Jake could have been there to comfort her and so he could hold them both. "Did you know?"

"No, I just thought I was late because of the stress of the deployments and Papa being sick."

A flashing red light above his head started flashing, alerting him that the pilots were being called to go up top.

"I got to go. We will finish this conversation later, when we both aren't upset."

Bianca wiped her cheeks clean on the sleeve of one of his old U of V hoodies and nodded her head, "Be safe. love you."

"Me too, baby, me too."

Being Maverick's Daughter Head cannon| Among Angels

Being Maverick’s Daughter 

Head cannon 

Tied into Among Angels

In my little universe I am doing Cougar is in charge of the academy and was still involved with his former friends. And he is one of her godfathers. 

Thank god for fan fiction 

Being a Kazansky in the Navy was hard but being Duke Mitchell’s granddaughter and Maverick Mitchell’s daughter  was even harder,  people heard stories of how her grandfather disappeared in the middle of a mission and there had been no trace of him. And stories of Maverick and his recklessness and the many times he buzzed the tower and the Admiral’s daughter. And the MIG, that was always a story she was asked to repeat.  And if he ever buzzed the tower with her in the plane. Maverick was kind of infamous around the school for those. 

How that got around Bianca was never sure, but she always told them the stories she had been told including Goose flipping off her mother. That always got the most laughs. But it hurt deep down, knowing she would never see Charlie again. 

All the instructors are expecting her to be like Maverick and Duke, but she was more like Iceman, quiet, studious, only causing trouble when she is egged on by her roommate and their friends. There was only time that she did act like she was Maverick’s daughter and that’s when they were in their third year and Javy dared her to hot wire the commandant's car.  

He didn’t believe she would leave up to her nickname that the professors started calling her Mischief. 

The commandant was new that year and also known Bianca, her entire life, having gone through flight school and through the academy with her father and was Maverick’s wingman before he dropped out of the flight program. 

When she showed up with the commandant’s personal car in front of their dorms, Javy almost dropped to the ground in shock. 

He didn’t find out the truth that  she had  just simply borrowed their keys until her father’s wake and Cougar brought it up.  And thats the same time that Maverick found out too. He was torn between surprised and thrilled. Bianca took a lot after Ice, had most of his mannerisms and personality traits,  but the Mitchell part of her never really showed, but hearing that she pulled that off made him proud. 

And it made him even prouder when he found out that they had figured out to take a boat for a joy ride when they were at flight school. She wouldn’t say how they got out of it but he was sure several calls were made to Ice and he pulled strings to get her and her friends out of trouble.  

He has to work to get their relationship to be what it was when she was first at the academy. He was never the greatest father and he let her down alot.  It felt like he forgot alot about Bianca, especially on the suicide mission and he saves Rooster. Her tear filled voice begging him not to do it brought him back to reality. She still needed him even though she was an adult and days from walking down the aisle to marry Hangman. 

 She still needed her father. Even if he was shitty

Chasing Angels| 1| Top Gun Maverick

@prettyinpayne @luckyladycreator2

The third time is a charm with this.

Being a Kazansky wasn't easy, especially going into the academy, and it was even harder when your other grandfather disappeared on a mission. But Bianca Kazansky is ready to prove that she is more than just her name and help Maverick try and rebuild their family before Iceman dies. Because they all knew that Maverick always messed things up and hopefully his daughter can help him fix it before it was too late.

“You excited about this?” Bradley Bradshaw’s voice echoed through Bianca Kazansky’s bedroom, he had called her to talk while she was packing to go to the academy. 

“Kind of. I am more worried about leaving my dad.” 

“Still having problems with Mav?”

 For the first time in ages when he said Mav it didn’t seem as bitter and she didn’t want to ruin that by dumping the drama on him. 

 She sighed and paused in folding her t-shirts, “I don’t want to drive that wedge again Brad.” 

“Bee, he isn’t important. You are and Ice is.” 

“There were some problems with the possibility of Mav cheating on Papa with Penny. Like there were a couple of blowout fights. Aunt Sophie and Igor took me to Los Angeles to get me out of the line of fire.” She sat down on the edge of the bed, “There were a lot of hurtful things said.” He was silent almost waiting for her to say something else. “Mav wasn’t ready to have a kid, Papa was.” 

“Jesus Bee.”  

“Yeah.” Bianca sniffed back the tears that rose up again, “Kind of heartbreaking. My own father didn’t want me. I have never seen Papa that mad before.”  

“Mad like how he was when he found out we were together or mad like when Steven crashed Slider’s car into the house?” 

Despite her sadness, she laughed and ran the back of her hand under her nose, “I don’t think he will ever forget that night he walked in on us.” 

A warmth spread through her when he laughed.

 “I miss you, Bee.’ He admitted, he had been thrilled when he found out that she was going to be a few hours away instead of the numerous expensive plane tickets, they had to avoid talking about their relationship status, mostly to stop one of them from getting hurt. He had casual girlfriends and she had gone on dates with boys at her school.  But nothing seemed to match up with them.

“I miss you too.” She returned, “Three more days and I will be out there. Papa is insisting that he and his staff come out there with me.” This is the furthest she would be from her father since he started going up the rank ladder and she wasn’t sure how she was going to handle it.  

“You will do fine baby, once you are away from everything.”  

Bianca went quiet for a moment, “I hate it when you are right.” He laughed again, he had told her repeatedly that he was right about this kind of stuff and she had a hard time believing it.  “Did I tell you that Stella and Stacey have been staying here too?” 

There was a thud that sounded like a textbook hitting the ground, “They are what?!” 

 Stella was Ice’s former girlfriend from before he went to Top Gun and Stacey was their daughter. A daughter that he hadn't been involved with due to Stella running after she found out about Ice being with Maverick. And having a baby that he was excited about on the way. And about 2 years ago they showed back up and threw everything in their almost perfect little world upside down.  

“Baby, you should have led with that.”  

“Sorry. I didn’t want to jump all the way into the drama. The stuff with Maverick seems tame compared to this.” 

“What are they doing now?”  Being the closest person to her that didn’t have an opinion on everything, he had heard all about the drama and how Stacey tried to take her room over when they first showed back up. 

“Same thing as always, Stacey is thinking that because she is going to be a year ahead of me at the academy that it will make her, Ice’s favorite. And Stella is trying to change everything right off the bat. She tried to kick out the grandparents, Alex and Ana.” 

Bradley laughed at that. There was no way in hell that Ice would kick out his family for a woman. 

And especially not one like Stella. 

“She came storming into my room when Mav and Papa were having that fight and Sophie was trying to get me out of the house and away from everything. And she freaked on me.” 

“Please you didn’t go all Mitchell on her.”  The laughter was still clear in his voice.  

“Bradley, you know me better than that.” She laughed, “I was very calm and collected until she thought you and I were dating and started reading me the riot act like she was my mother.”  

“Bee.”  Both Bradley and Bianca had deceased mothers and it was a tender subject with both so he understood if she lost her cool at Stella. 

There was a knock on the door stopping Bianca from answering. “Yeah?” “Time for dinner Bee.” Alex Kazansky’s voice came. 

“Okay, I will be right there.” She returned, “I got to go, see you soon?” 

“Of course.” Bradley returned, “call me back later if you need to talk.”

  The familiar words of telling him that died on the tip of her tongue. 

 “Of course.” With that she hung up her phone and stood up from the bed. 

“Please let it be a fighting night tonight.”

Meet Bianca Kazansky Seresin

I thought I had posted this awhile ago. Maybe I just ended up deleting it but here this is again.

Meet:

Lt Bianca Anastasia Kazansky. She is going to be appearing in Chasing Angels

She is the youngest daughter of Admiral Tom "Iceman" Kazansky and the oldest daughter of Pete "Maverick Mitchell.

She is the apple of Iceman's eye, the first child he was able to raise from the day she was born. And he is so proud of her, bragging to his staff about how she is doing.

And that of Maverick when he is around to be a father to her. There is a lot of unmentioned hurts and pent-up emotion that Bianca holds towards Maverick that really comes through when he is leading the dagger mission that she is a part of.

She has 2 half-sisters, Stacey McManus, and Ellie Mitchell. and has an adopted brother TJ whom Iceman adopts when Bianca is at the academy.

She attends the academy and is in the same class as Jake Seresin (her later husband), Natasha Trace, and Javy Machado.

After attending the academy, she and the others go to flight school where her long time on again off again lover Bradley Bradshaw was also attending.

For a while, she, Bradley, and Jake have a polyamorous relationship that ends after a huge fight and Bianca deciding to stay with Jake over Bradley.

She usually ends up in between their fights whenever they are together after that. But they all ended up together after the Dagger mission

She is stationed with Jake and Javy after she and Jake get married, they couldn't handle being apart for long periods of time, they were all together when they get recalled to Top Gun.

They don't know that Maverick is her other father, she would mention him but never gave him a name or showed pictures like she did with Iceman.

After the dagger mission, she and Maverick form a better relationship, and she is involved in the commitment ceremony between him and Ice.

Bianca goes down behind enemy lines with Payback and Fanboy, and finds out that she is pregnant with her first child after they are rescued. She goes back to her father's house in San Deigo to recover and try to take care of her ailing father who's cancer is back and killing him slowly.

After he passes away Bianca, Jake and Bradley take on raising TJ as it was in Ice's will

[roadtogracelandx45]

So I am trying to do something different with the rewrite of Chasing Angels/Among Angels.

Its been kind of pushed into fruition seeing all the polyamorous relationship posts with Rooster and Hangman, it has been in my head for the last couple of weeks and I can't shake it. So here we go:

Bradley "Rooster" Bradshaw/ Bianca "Bee" Kazansky (oc)/ Jake "Hangman" Seresin.

First chapter coming Feb 18th, 2023

[roadtogracelandx45]

Does anyone else start googling wedding venues and stuff like that when it's time to start plotting or writing the wedding for the stories that include it?

Right now I have Pinterest boards going for the two I am working on right now and like 3 or 4 tabs of search results open.

I am working on Hangman/Bianca's wedding and also Iceman/Maverick's actual wedding from Among Angels and Elvis/Sylvie from Burnin' Love

and would anyone want to see either the Pinterest boards or moodboards for them?

part 2

“Morning.” Maverick greeted his daughter who had come down the stairs rubbing her eyes sleepily, her three dogs trailing behind her antsing to go outside. “Mornin’.’ She yawned before she opened the back door and let the dogs go running outside. 

“Coffee?” He offered, he was taking Ice’s advice from the night before seriously. He had to take it one step at a time with Bianca , start with the little things otherwise, she would shut him down. 

“Please.’ She yawned again.

 “A lot of homework?” He busied himself with grabbing a coffee mug out of the cabinet. 

“Two last papers for my AP classes. And I talked to Bradley until about midnight.” Her father turned to look at her and raised an eyebrow.

 “It was a paper on something he was studying at school so he helped.” She shrugged her shoulders and put some milk in the coffee he had handed her. 

“We have almost daily talks. We talk about school, about the Navy, about our dads. You included.” Maverick knew that she wanted to say that he didn’t deserve that title because of what he had done in the past.

 But she held her tongue. 

“He tells me about his girlfriends. And I tell him about George.” “George is?” “George was the first serious boyfriend I had.” She took another sip of her coffee and stood up from her chair, she could hear the rumblings of the rest of the house getting up so she figured she could start on breakfast. 

 “And the only one I had. It's a long story and I don’t want to talk about it.” 

“Of course.”  

“Can I ask you something?”  Maverick nodded his head as he poured some dog food into the bowls that were lined up by the island. 

“Why do you leave so often?” The food spilled over the rim of the bowl and he froze at her question. “I mean you were here for Bradley, but me every time something happens you aren’t here. Did you not want me? Do you not love us?” 

 He could tell by the tears in her voice she had been holding onto this for so long, he wondered if Bradley had prompted this. He glanced at the doorway and saw his husband standing barely in sight dressed in his uniform. 

“I,” He started before clearing his throat, “have been afraid of losing you and Ice. Like I lost my parents. Like I lost Goose. And don’t think that I don’t love you, I do, I have since the moment I felt you kicking in Charlie’s stomach.” 

 There were more tears in Bianca’s eyes at that point, Charlotte Blackwood, had been their surrogate and had been around for the first years of Bianca’s life then passed away from a nasty motorcycle accident. 

 “When I got to hold you the first time.” Maverick had put the dog food back on the counter and crossed the room, “It was like.” 

“Love at first sight.” Iceman said as he came into the kitchen,  “You made our family complete.” Bianca looked at Maverick for reassurance and he nodded his head.  She took several deep breaths to steady herself before nodding her own head as her aunt and uncle joined them.  “Everything okay here?” Alex asked, looking first at his brother and niece then at Maverick.  Bianca nodded her head in agreement. 

``You look like shit kid.” “You will be the top of your class and have to give a speech in front of everyone and their mother in a week and tell me how you feel. It's exhausting. I am exhausted, okay?” 

Glancing at his husband to see if he thought  the same thing, Maverick spoke, “Do you have to go to school today?”  ``No, I turned my papers in electronically.” “You are going to come with me.” “Huh?” Alex, Ana and Bianca  all said together, surprised. It was very rare that he wanted to spend time with Maggie, usually it was a big family thing. 

“Don’t ask. Just go get ready for the day.”  Carrying her plate of food and coffee mug, Bianca, still wearing a confused look, went up the stairs to her room. “Just don’t anything stupid Pete. Please.’ Iceman commented once the music turned on in their daughter’s bedroom. “She has worked too damn hard to get into the academy that doing some stupid stunt with you is going to ruin it.” “Don’t worry babe.” Maverick smirked, ‘I got this.”

“Mav? Where are we going?’  Bianca questioned as her father directed her jeep towards the highway, “Dad will kill us both if you try to sneak us into Top Gun and into another plane.” Maverick laughed, his husband had been furious when Maverick had snuck Bianca into MiraMir and into a F13.  

Bianca was completely silent the whole flight until he started turning and burning and going inverted. Then she started laughing and screaming in excitement and Ice heard and went ballistic on the radio.  

“No, we won’t give your dad a heart attack unless you really want to.’ Bianca shook her head, “No, he already has high blood pressure.” Maverick glanced at her in confusion, he hadn’t been informed of that. “Stevie and I got into some trouble not too long ago, he crashed Slider’s mustang into my old room.”  He slammed on the breaks causing her to curse and throw her hands out to stop herself from flying forward.

 “Uncle Alex was in charge because Dad was on a deployment, his last one actually, and Slider was over and they left us unattended and he got into the car and smashed into the house. It was a good thing I was outside with them and not already in bed.”  “And Steven is still alive?” “Yep.” She popped the p, 'He is actually going to the academy too, and he’s giving a speech at graduation too.’ Maverick shook his head in surprise.  

“Trust me, I did that for an hour after they told us. And I broke my favorite coffee mug from London when he told us he got into the academy.” 

Maverick was mentally kicking himself in the ass for missing so much of his daughter’s life, he didn’t know the girl sitting next to him. He had glimpses of her, from the videos and pictures Ice would send him.  

“What do you want to go into with the Navy?” “At first, Bradley said I would make a good lawyer with how much I argue with people. So it was going to be law.’

  He did remember that he had been on the receiving end of one of her arguments and knew how good she could be. 

“But Dad took me up in his plane before he stopped flying and I just.” 

“Felt alive?” 

“Yeah. he didn’t do a lot of crazy stuff like you did but still. It felt like I was meant to be up there.’  

He nodded his head, he knew exactly how she felt, he felt it every time he was up in the air.  “It is so hard to get into the pilot program that I don’t think I will actually get into it.”  “You are a  Mitchell and a Kazansky, you will get in. if not become a JAG lawyer and bail my ass out of trouble.” She laughed at that, “Be the Kazansky family job, bailing a Mitchell out of trouble.”
