The Build A Bear employee looks extremely suspicious when Jake brings the empty coat of a bear up to her, a fake smile plastered from ear to ear as he holds it out as if he just ran into the woods to hunt it himself.
Honestly he was sure he looked like a massive freak, from the 20 minutes he spent looking at all the display bears to choose and up to now where he probably looked like he had been one of Jokers goons in Batman. But he couldn’t help it, he was doing his very best not to breakdown and cry in front of this poor teen.
She blinks up at him, back to the bear, and then back to him.
“This is the bear you’ve chosen?” That one question has him debating everything, eyes widening as he pulls it back to himself quickly.
“No. Yes. I have no clue.”
“Okay, cool.” The worker, a young girl decked out in the most goth punk outfit he had ever seen, smiles and moves to grab it from him. Her long black acrylic nails snag the poor pelt from his hands and she pulls it to the stuffing machine. “We have multiple hearts that you can choose from for your little buddy here. We have classic, plaid and then a beating heart. Go ahead and take a look.”
Jake nods, moving to grab one slowly before turning back to her. “You guys have sounds, right?”
“We do indeed.” She smiles, nodding her head to show him the sound station. “Go ahead and pick or make a sound.”
She turns back to fix one of the spikes on her boots as he does so, rushing over to start recording the sound. The little script he wrote that morning on a sticky note was hard to read but he managed it, making sure to use that southern drawl he knew his baby girl loved before coming back to the stuffing station and handing it to her.
“Alright, do we want our little buddy to be firm or plush?”
“I think…. How about firm?”
“Sounds great, and let’s go ahead and bless the heart while I’m doing this. First I’m going to have you rub your head so our buddy is smart. Perfect, now lets rub our belly so our buddy always has a good appetite. Awesome. Don’t forget to rub your knees so your furry friend always kneeds you. Jump up and down to get the heart beating and rub it against your heart so they always know how much you love them. And lastly close your eyes, make a wish and give it a kiss.”
Jake follows her word for word, going with the ceremony even though he knows it’s for kids. And when he closes his eyes he wishes ‘Keep my babies safe and happy’ before kissing the heart and handing it to her. She ties the bear up and hands him off, the teddy looking straight into Jake’s eyes as he walks off to find it a cute little outfit.
By the time he makes it to the register Jake has the bear in a little naval outfit, hat and all, and the worker is grabbing the birth certificate from the printer with narrowed eyes.
As she rings out the clothes he watches her closely, heart beating against his rib cage each step of the way. She was very goth, from the badass makeup to the spiky hair and spiky collar, not to mention the huge boots. It was like wednesday adams went punk and then got a job as Build A Bear as a joke.
Then she turned to expose the backpack holding the pink stuffed animal decked out in rainbow and he couldn’t help but laugh. “What’s her name?”
“Cannibal, but when the kids ask Cami.”
“Cami the Cannibal, I love it.”
She finishes ringing everything up, raising an eyebrow. “Bugs?”
“Oh, yeah. It’s for my darlin’. You see I call her mom ‘Bubs’ and I call her ‘Bugs’.” Jake explains, whipping out his card as she begins dressing the bear.
“This is for your daughter? How old is she turning?”
“Oh, it’s not for her birthday. I’m being deployed so this is my….. Something she has of me while I am gone.”
Her face goes slack and she blinks at him before shaking her head. “How old is your daughter?”
“Four.”
“Then I’m saying this is a birthday bear. You only have to pay how old you’re turning for the bear.”
He thanks her, and before he knows it he is buckling Bugs into the backseat and driving home to see his two girls.
-
Bugs sits at the top of your closet for the next 5 weeks, you both break the news to your daughter four weeks out. She begs him not to leave and you let her sleep in your bed to try and soothe her tears.
She sleeps in your bed every night after that.
2 weeks out Jake’s mother throws a going away party for him, your daughter cries the entire time.
Then the time came.
Jake woke earlier than you, desperate to let you both get a little more sleep as he shuffled into the shared closet and reached up to find the box that held bugs. Dusting the bear off and making sure he looked good before moving to set it in the living room by his deployment bags.
He kisses both your foreheads before jumping in the shower and getting dressed into his uniform. His throat is tight and his eyes burn but he does his best to keep it together, by the time he is dressed and ready to go he finds both of you sitting in the living room crying softly.
You are doing your best to stop the tears, and Jake feels something shatter in his chest at the sight before the blur of the four year old is dashing to him.
“Please don’t go.” She sobs, hands gathering the fabric of his uniform as he swipes the tears from her cheeks.
“Easy now, Bugs. I’ll be back. It’ll be okay.”
“Please don’t go daddy! Tell them you can’t go!” From the corner of his eyes he sees you shuffling closer with the box, and he nods, reaching a hand out for the bear.
“Daddy needs you to do something for me, okay bugs?” The tears are falling freely now as she shoves her forehead into his chest. He has to pull her back a bit so she sees the bear. “This? This is my friend Bugs, and Bugs is very very important to me. You wanna know why?”
“Why?”
“Because Bugs promised to take care of you for me. And he is gonna do a great job of it. But I need you to keep Bugs with you so he can do that. Yeah?”
She shakes her head at first, sobbing loudly as he kisses at her forehead, before her hands reach out to pull the bear to her.
12 minutes later you are holding her in your arms, crying as Jake gives you both one more kiss and heads out to the truck, waving as he pulls the car out even if he feels his heart shattering in his own chest.
-
You keep y/d home for the day, making her mac and cheese for lunch ans trying to play all her favorite movies in an attempt to cheer her up a bit. Nothing seems to work and she sobs all day, not that you were much better.
By the time you are ready to tuck her in your eyes hurt from the amount of crying you had done and you felt drained and dehydrated. But nonetheless you hold your daughters hand as she shuffles into her room where Bugs now sat on the bed.
You dress her in one of Jakes soft shirts for pajamas, tucking her into the blanket softly and rubbing her cheek.
“Daddy always is here to say goodnight too.” She cries and you nod slowly, reaching for the bear.
“You really think he would forget?” You smile softly, pinching the bear's paw.
Jake’s southern voice rings out, a little frazzled out but there nonetheless.
“The sun is setting in the sky.
Let's light the moon and bring it high.
The shimmering stars sparkle and twinkle.
I work out my wiggles as stardust I sprinkle.
The tree stands tall as the owl hoots.
I send all my worries right down through my roots.
A moonlit lake, as I sit on the shore.
Reflects three things that I am grateful for.
With my hands on my heart, love is swirling around me.
So I send it out to my friends and family.
As I lie down I breathe one, two, three.
And feel the love come back to me.
Goodnight Bugs.”
She curls around the bear, sobbing loudly as you kiss her head. Truly not knowing how to fix this.
-
Three months later, you are holding her hand as she leads you through the mall, Bugs wrapped tightly in her other arm.
She had played the sound so much that it sort of stopped working and instead of the entire poem all the bear truly said now was ‘Goodnight Bugs’. But that would have to do for now.
You had done so many emergency surgeries on the bear since she refused to leave him behind. The poor thing had barely survived the kindergarten recess debacle before her teacher had to cut in and take the bear from her and the kid who had been wrestling to steal it.
She had come home that day a blubbering mess until you sewed the arm back on and she kissed it better.
She had taken Bugs to the daddy donut day her school ran, and though she still her her grandpa there that day you were eternally grateful she had that bear.
But Jake’s birthday was coming up, and you knew it would be rough on her no matter how many facetime calls he managed to sneak in. So you had asked what she wanted to do for his birthday.
Which leads you here, staring at all the bear options in front of you as she tries to figure out which one she wants..
There was a goth girl waiting at the stuffing station, and you couldn’t figure out if she was glaring or trying to recognize you.
“How about this one, bugs?” You ask, showing her the stitch before she shakes her head and snatches a brown bear.
“It’s got to look cool mom.” Another milestone that you were positive Jake was devastated about. While he was away it had gone from daddy and mommy to dad and mom. It wasn’t much of a difference but it still made your chest ache every time she called you it.
Before you know it she has snatched a bear and dashed to the sound station, not bothering to see if you would follow.
By the time you make it to the stuffing station you are doing your best not to cry, handing the girl the sound and the bear as she smiles.
“I see we have a bear, is this going to be his buddy?”
“YES!” Your daughter smiles, bouncing on her feet as you move to grab Bugs.
“How about I hold this so you can create him. Yeah?”
She reluctantly lets go, moving to pick a heart as the girl asks about the pressure.
“I want him so soft that you can squeeze all the love!” Y/d giggles and you can’t help but smile at that. The worker smiles to, her black lipstick making it all more of a victory. “I like your bear, what’s her name?”
“Cami.” The worker smiles and y/d shakes her head. “No?”
“No, how about….destroyer?”
“Oh, I like the way you think. Okay now touch the heart to your toes so your furry friend is ‘toe’tally awesome. Great job. Touch the heart to your knees so he always ‘knee’ds you. Good good. Now rub the heart between your hands so he always stays warm, don’t forget to rub your ears so he always hears you. And Now your eyes so he always sees you. Now rub your heart so he always has love and jump up and down three times to get that heart beating.”
Y/d does everything with a huge smile lathered on her face, and the worker has the same excited smile on her own.
“Now I need you to close you eyes and make a wish before you kiss the heart.”
She does as told, squeezing her eyes shut before saying ‘Make sure my dad is happy.”
And then the workers face falls into one of recognition, her eyes casting to the bear now held in your hand and back to the one she had been stuffing.
By the time you have an outfit picked out she already has the certificate in her hands, nodding.
“Bubs. I like it.”
“Thank you. It’s what my dad and mom call each other.” Your daughter smiles, standing on her tiptoes to look up to the worker.
“Let me guess, your bugs.”
“I AM!” And just like that a wide smile is splitting across her cheeks as she slides the bear across the counter to your side.
“It’s your lucky day. This bear is a part of the lonely hearts foundation. Which means so long as he is adopted into a happy and loving home he comes with no charge. Are you happy, bugs?”
“Yes.”
“Are you healthy, bugs?”
“I eat my broccoli, yeah.” You try not to snort, remembering that you had to bribe her with 6 oreos after a 2 hour dinner table stand off.
“Then Bubs has found the perfect home.” You mouth a thank you to the girl as you leave, giving your daughter bugs back so you can carry the box.
-
Jake Seresin was absolutely miserable the day he got his birthday package.
He was sweaty from the jets, irritated by his team. But most importantly he was completely lost without his girls.
It had been four months since he last got to hold them and he was beginning to lose it. Sure, he got to facetime them which was a lot more then some of the other guys but he missed them terribly and he wanted nothing more than to be with them.
He had gotten an extra thirty minutes of call time on his birthday a week ago, to which you had promised him you sent something out before y/d interrupted with a sassy tone “don’t ruin the surprise for dad, mom.”
He tried not to get upset at the dad part, but he couldn’t help it. He left while his bug called him daddy and stil had the chubbiest baby cheeks in town and now his little darlin’ was growing up and he couldn’t actually see it.
But you had told him to expect the package and he did, finally a week later it was mail day and he sat on his bunk surrounded by his squad as they tore through letters. He sliced the tape of the box open, lifting the lid to reveal the cutest bear dressed in a texan jersey with glasses that reminded him of BOB.
A laugh slips from his lips as he reaches to pull the bear to his chest, noting the cotton candy scent before his eyes snag on the letter.
“Dear Bubs,
This bear was sent out with a promise to keep. He promised both me and your daughter that he would keep you happy and healthy and bring you home to us. We made him knowing that only the bravest of bears could do this task and we made sure he was stocked up for the flight over. In the box he took your favorite candies. A stack of photos and a really cool beaded bracelet your daughter made at school. He was given a cotton candy scent to help block off the stuffy scent from the box but most importantly, he carries a top secret message that not even I was allowed to listen to.
We hope Bubs takes care of you until you are allowed back into our arms, until then stay safe and don’t forget we love you.
Love, Your bubs.”:
There is a little monster drawn on the paper in crayon that makes his heart swell as he traces his fingers over the words and drawing before reaching to the bear.
He lays with it as a pillow, pressing his cheek to the chest as he presses the hand to reveal the sound.
His daughter's voice fills his ears, in the cheesiest southern accent he had ever heard. “I breathe one two three and feel the love come back to me. Good night daddy.”
-
The next set of photos you receive in the mail are all photos of Jake and Bubs on journeys, and Y/D’s favorite was the one of the entire squad posing with bubs. Bob and the bear having switched glasses.
You, of course, begin sending adventures back. One of Bugs and your daughter baking, another of the two on a swing set.
Jake sends back a photo of Bubs ‘flying’ a plane.
Over and over you both send the photos back and forth, everything is a little bit better when you carry a piece of each other with them.
Your daughter asks you at dinner one night, between shoving her chicken in her face and avoiding the broccoli, if you had wanted a bug and bubs bear.
All you can do is smile, booping her nose as you mumble. “You were my bear last time he was deployed.”
“What did you send him?”
“A pee stick.” She doesn’t find it as funny as you did, but she makes sure to have bugs kiss your cheek goodnight before dashing to bed.

“Well..” Hazel turned to the source, a wry smile on her lips. “That went better than expected” Nick mused, his gaze lingering on his girlfriend. Leaning in, he ended the day with a gentle kiss on her lips.
A young man paced nervously in the small living room of their rental home. He'd had the ring for years, but it hadn't graced his finger fot half an hour. He was too preoccupied with his nerves to resist fidgeting with the round piece of jewerly. A young woman stood in the doorway of the living room, observing her boyfriend walk a tear in the carpet. Today was the day. The monday he was so nervous about. The day his mom, dad, mom-in-law and dad-in-law would join him and his girlfriend for dinner after five long years of leaving their respective homes.
"Babe, you're making me dizzy with all this pacing" Hazel gently remarked as she stepped into the room. Her arms found their place around Nick's neck, while his hands settled on her hips. "I'm sorry sweetheart. It's just ..." He looked down at the carpet. "I haven't seen mom in so long and I only really talked to our dads during training. I don't want this to go like the last time we all sat together" he explained, resting his chin atop her head. "I know, I'm nervous too. And I am absolutely certain our parents are as anxious as we are" she reassured him. "I don't want this to be akward" he admitted. Hazel remained still, her cheek nestled against his chest, listening to Nicks heartbeat. She was certain his heart was going faster each minute. "Let's hope for the best" she said, lifting her head to rest her chin ons his chest. Nick looked down at his girlfriend, offering a small smile as he gently kissed her nose. He couldn't help but love how her nose would scrunch up when he kissed it.
The couple had distanced themselves from each other. Nick had settled onto the couch in front of the TV, where a baseball game played in the background. Who was winning? He had no idea, and he didn't even bother to check which teams were playing. All his attention was fixed on awaiting the sound of the doorbell. Meanwhile, Hazel was in the kitchen, putting the finishing touches on the casserole she had prepared. She anticipated her mom's delight upon seeing her again, and she was confident her mom would also be thrilled to have Nick back. However, she couldn't help but worry about her dad. How would he react when he saw her? Would he shed tears like her mom? Would he greet her with a bone-crushing hug? Only time could provide the answers, and that time arrived sooner than the young adults had anticipated.
The chiming of the doorbell brought Nick and Hazel to an abrupt pause in their activities. Hazel slowly emerged from the kitchen and entered the living room. Nick had already positioned himself at the front door, which opened directly into the living room. He peered through the peephole and said, "It's your parents," while taking a step back. Hazel nodded before making her way to the door. She couldn't quite recall the act of opening it, but she vividly remembered the joyful expression on her mother's face as two arms immediately enveloped her in a warm hug.
"Hey, Mom," she smiled when she recognized the person hugging her. "Oh, sweetheart, I'm so happy to see you again. I cried happy tears when I heard you wanted to have dinner together," she explained, planting kisses on her daughter's cheeks. Quinn's gaze rose to meet Nick's eyes. The boyfriend stood behind, allowing the small family to savor their moment. "Oh, Nick, come here. It's been so long, and you've grown so much." Quinn released her daughter from the hug and wrapped the young man in her arms. Nick briefly hesitated before embracing the older woman. "It's good to see you too, Mrs. Seresin. Hazel was overjoyed to see you again." "Mrs. Seresin? Please, call me Quinn again. I know I have grandkids now, but I don't want to feel old," she chuckled.
As Quinn enveloped Nick in a warm embrace, Hazel stood face to face with her father. "Hey, Dad," she said quietly. Nick was right – apart from a few grey hairs on his head, Jake Seresin looked just the same as he did five years ago. "Hazel," Jake said, scanning his daughter from head to toe. "You've grown so much. You've become such a beautiful woman," he said, tears forming in his eyes. Similar tears welled up in his daughter's eyes. Before Jake could fully comprehend it, a weight was thrown at him. His daughter clung to her dad, shedding tears of happiness at the sight of her father's return after five long years.
After a minute-long hug, both Seresins released each other. Quinn stood beside Nick, tears of happiness in her eyes as she watched her daughter reunite with her father.
"Nick," Jake greeted. "Rear Admiral Seresin," Nick greeted back. Jake let out a subdued chuckle, saying, "Jake is just fine, Nick. We're meeting outside of work, and you're my daughter's boyfriend." A weight lifted from Nick's shoulders, and he cleared his throat while gesturing behind him. "I'm going to get a drink; I'll leave you to catch up a bit." The small Seresin family settled on the couch, while Nick disappeared into the kitchen.
Half an hour had passed, and Bradley and Madison still hadn't arrived, having gotten stuck in traffic. Nick sat beside Hazel on the long couch, with her mother, Quinn, on her other side, and Jake in a chair opposite Nick. The Rear Admiral could see that the young man was nervous. His knee bounced up and down, his fingers fiddled with his ring, and his gaze frequently shifted towards the front door. Meanwhile, Hazel and Quinn shared stories about their sons, talking about how Benji's favorite cartoon was Bluey and how Mac loved to read and create his own stories. The twins were having a sleepover at Connor's house.
Jake was ready to reassure Nick that he had nothing to worry about. He wanted to convey how his dad had been proudly bragging about his son to other Rear Admirals, Captains, and even Admirals. He also wanted to share that his mom had been inquiring about him every day, and she had spent hours baking brownies, Nick's favorite dessert. Furthermore, Jake wanted to reveal that the delay wasn't due to traffic but because they were struggling to get Sparky, their dog, into the car, intending to surprise not only their son but also their furry companion.
For the second time that night, the doorbell rang through the room. The conversation between Hazel and Quinn hushed, and all three Seresins turned their attention to the young Bradshaw. Nick swallowed hard before rising from the couch and moving toward the front door. As he opened the door, there stood his mother. Nick quickly noticed that his father wasn't by her side. Before he could search for his dad outside, his mother had already pulled her son into a tight hug.
"My son, oh my son. How much I've missed you," she cried into Nick's chest. Nick, now a head taller than his mother, couldn't hold back his own tears, and his arms pulled her even closer to his chest. "Hey, Mom, I missed you too," he said softly.
The Seresins watched the mother-son duo embrace for a full minute. Nick gently pushed his mom out of the hug but didn't release her completely. "Where's Dad?" he inquired, and Hazel detected a hint of anxiety in his voice. Was his father reluctant to see him outside of work? Did his father regret this meeting?
Madison smiled and turned around, pointing behind Nick. "Oh, he's just retrieving your present from the car," she said with a grin.
"Present? Why would you bring me a pres—?" Nick's sentence was abruptly halted by a loud bark, and a magnificent husky leaped out of a blue Bronco, heading straight for Nick. "Oh my God, Sparky!" Nick exclaimed, crouching down to greet his dog with joyful licks. The sound of the dog's tail vigorously wagging against the hardwood floor filled the room. "Yes, yes, buddy. I've missed you too," Nick laughed, losing his balance from the dog's exuberance and landing on the floor.

Our Little Girl
Master List
Bradley and Jake haven't been on many deployments since the birth of their little girl and they can think Ice for that. They have been on a total of 3 since she was born each time was a short one. However, this one they absolutely had to go on it was going to be for at least 3 months. Their little girl would be staying with her Grandma Carole and Grandpa Goose while most of The Dagger Squad got deployed. Y/N loved it when she stayed with her grandparents, they loved to spoil her. Maverick and Goose weren't called to go which wasn't unusual since Ice and Slider were going, if two of them didn't go then the other two would. It was an unspoken agreement that Ice would also be in charge of The Dagger Squad along with Maverick and the two RIOs were along for the ride.
A week leading up to their deployment they could tell Y/N was getting antsy. She's been away from both of her fathers multiple times but never for this long. They noticed that she was getting more clingy to both of them to the point where she was crawling into bed with them at night. They would be expecting her and when she crawled in they would just roll over and cuddle her.
Bradley and Jake had just begun putting Y/N to bed. It was 3 days until they left. It was 8 PM when they started her routine of putting her to bed. They had begun supper at 7:30 PM and had just finished and now it was bath time and bed time.
"Sweets. Bath time." Jake said as he and Bradley finished putting food and dishes away. She looked up at him from her place at the table and stared at him hard.
"No. No leave Dada or Papa." She said ending it with a frown. He sighed this has been happening ever since she found out they would be leaving.
"How about I take you and give you a bath then you can cuddle with us on the couch?" Jake asked not believing he was negotiating with a 4-year-old but is used to it.
"No. You both give me a bath and then cuddle." She said folding her arms Jake sighed and looked at Bradley who just shrugged.
"Dada has to finish up in here." Jake said once he turned to Y/N with his hands on his hips.
"Then no bath. I want both of you." She said now on the floor and copying his exact movement. Bradley chuckled she was too similar to them and it was scary.
"How about we go ahead and give you a bath and I can finish up later." Bradley said breaking the staring contest. Jake looked at him but he already knew what he was thinking. "It's not a problem. I'll finish up when she's asleep. Nothing here is going to spoil." He said and Jake seemed satisfied with that. Y/N thought about it and then broke into a smile.
"Ok." She said and practically skipped to the bathroom.
Jake turned to Bradley "She's too much like you. I've known you and have been living with you long enough to know how to handle you." Bradley said with a chuckle.
"Hey, she's like you too. Mister I know how and love to play the piano. " Jake said and Bradley nodded.
"Oh, I know. Mom keeps telling me that." He said and they stood there talking until Y/N hollered out for them.
"Dada, Papa!" She hollered and they began walking to the bathroom to find her standing there with her hands on her hips. She had that hip popped out and a look of annoyance on her face. "It's about time." She said with a roll of her eyes. They both shook their heads and chuckled and started to get her ready for a bath.
Once bath time was out of the way they went into the living room and cuddled her while putting on a movie. Halfway through the movie and she was out like a light. She had fallen onto Bradley's shoulder and was ever so slightly snoring. They didn't feel the need to finish the movie, having already seen it several times.
Bradley picked her up and they walked her upstairs to her bedroom as she snuggled further into his neck. Bradley laid her down and kissed her forehead and Jake did the same thing they both told her that they loved her. They gave her favorite stuffed chocolate and tan bunny named Rolo to cuddle with. They walked back downstairs and Jake helped Bradley finish up what he was previously doing.
They sat in the living room when they were done and watched some TV. "You know she's going to be a wreck right?" Jake asked his husband who nodded.
"Yea I know but she'll have mom, dad, and Maverick with her." Bradley said and Jake nodded. They watched a little bit more TV before retiring to bed.
It was around 11 PM when they heard little patter of feet and then felt the bed dip. They had been expecting her and wondered why it took her so long. She snuggled up in between them and they just rolled over and snuggled her. Jake had her head tucked under his chin and arms around her shoulders and then Bradley had his head nuzzles in her hair and arms around her torso. All three of them slept peacefully that night.
When it was time for them to leave everyone went down to the docks with them. She was currently clinging to Jake. They walked down from the car and she was nonstop talking about anything and everything.
"When you're away I draw you pictures." She said happily already thinking of what she would be doing. It hadn't fully hit her just yet.
"That sounds awesome, Sweets." Jake said and kissed the side of her head. They reached the dock and then it finally sunk into her.
"Papa? Dada?" She asked quietly.
"Yea, Honey?" Bradley asked and looked at her as tears welled in her eyes.
"You leave me?" She asked sniffling.
"Just for a little bit, Sweets. You'll be able to call us occasionally." Jake said and she hugged him around his neck and wouldn't let him go. Bradley tried to take her but she wouldn't let go. "Sweets, give Dada a hug." He said and she let go of him and transferred to Bradley.
She hugged him around the neck just like she did with Jake. "Oh, Honey, it's ok." He said when he felt tears on his neck.
"I don't want you both to go." She said and sobbed. Jake came over and rubbed her back.
"We'll be back as soon as we can. I promise." Jake said and she nodded. Goose, Carole, Maverick, Ice, and Slider came up to them. They said their goodbyes and then Goose took Y/N from Bradley's arms with some struggle. Everyone boarded the ship and watched it sail off.
"Ok, Chick. It's time for some Grandpa Goose time." He said tickling her which made her giggle. They walked back to the car. She was quiet and Goose, Carole, and Maverick took notice of this.
"Hey, Peanut they'll be ok. They have Grandpa Ice and Uncle Slider with them." Maverick said looking back at her while Goose drove and she nodded.
They had to go back to Seresin-Bradshaw Residence to pack some stuff up and then they were off to Goose and Carole's house. "Ok, Chick. Go and pick out some clothes with Grandma." He said and she nodded and followed Caorle to her room.
"What do you want to take with you? We can always come back here." She said and Y/N nodded and started to pick things out with the help of her. As Carole was zipping up the suitcase Y/N made her stop.
"Wait! We need Rolo, Hershey, and Cookie." She said grabbing her stuffed bunny, stuffed bear, and stuffed penguin. She really liked the wildlife so was excited when she got wildlife animals.
"Honey, you don't need all of them." Carole said and Y/N gave her a look like she just broke her heart.
"Yes I do. They're from Dada and Papa." She said with a hint of sass and Carole chuckled.
"Ok, Honey. You can take them." Carole said and Y/N smiled and put them in the suitcase and helped her zip it up and then they were off.
They got downstairs to where Goose was standing in the kitchen. "What took so long?" He asked picking Y/N up and attacking her neck with kisses and she giggled.
"She insisted on packing 3 stuffed animals." Carole said watching them and being taken back to when he did that with Bradley. They left shortly after that.
It was the first night without her daddies and she was not taking it well. They had just finished dinner and she was throwing a fit. "Chick, it's time for bed." Goose said and she shook her head and stood firmly.
"No want Dada and Papa." She said with her lower lip wobbling. Goose sighed and so did Carole. They knew this would happen and were expecting it. They had kept her busy throughout the day to keep her mind off of it but it was just now hitting her that she didn't have them with her. She then started full on crying. Goose went to her and picked her up.
"Oh, Honey. They'll be back." Carole said walking over to them and rubbing her back as Y/N sobbed into his neck. He bounced her and rubbed her back.
"Shhhhh. It's ok, Chick." Goose said and about a minute later she was reduced to sniffles and had fallen asleep. "I think she's asleep." He said and Carole nodded confirming it. They walked to her room that they had set up and laid her down in her bed. They had already changed her and bathed her. Carole grabbed Rolo and put it in her arms and she rolled over and went to sleep. They both kissed her and then started to get ready for bed themselves.
It had been a month since they had left to keep her mind off of it Goose had made it his mission to make her happy and not upset. So what does he do? Well, let her play in the mud and take her to the beach. Would Carole be mad at him? Yes absolutely. When Goose had decided that he would be playing in the mud with his granddaughter was when his wife was out with her friends in the evening.
"Chick, what do you say we go and plant some flowers for grandma?" He asked her once Carole was out the door. Y/N looked up and him and her eyes lit up. She nodded her head.
"Can we plant some for Dada and Papa?" She asked and Goose saw the excitement in her eyes.
"Of course we can Chick." He said and so they headed outside and began to the planting process. Everything was going smoothly until Goose felt something being thrown onto his back and he turned around to find a smirking granddaughter. "What are you up to, Chick?" He asked and she just kept smiling. The water hose had been running into the some of the dirt and she picked some up and had a mischievous look in her eye. She threw it and he ducked. "Oh it is on." He said and grabbed the water hose her eyes widened.
"Uh oh." She said and took off running and giggling which made Goose laugh as well. He had gotten her a couple of times and then accidently fell into the mud that had been created. It wasn't a hard fall but she had look of surprise on her face and so did he.
"Are you ok, Chick?" He asked turning off the water and running to her. She had mud all over her face and clothes.
"I'm ok, Grandpa Goosey." She said, a nickname that she had given him, as he wiped mud off of her face. In that moment Carole had came back and outside and saw the chaos.
"NICHOLAS BRADSHAW WHAT ON EARTH DID YOU DO TO MY GRANDDAUGHTER?!" She asked somewhat yelling in surprise. Goose turned around and they both looked at her as she stood there with her hands on her hips.
"Mud!" Y/N yelled and then she looked at Goose and he nodded and Y/N started to run after her grandma. "Grandma! I wanna give you a hug!" She said and Carole eyes widened.
"Oh no you don't." She said and took off running and laughing. After awhile Goose caught her and kissed and hugged her and she squealed in excitement and smiled. Then she something tackled her legs. She looked down and saw Y/N "You got me!" she said "Now time to get cleaned up." Y/N giggled and let her grandma take her to get cleaned up.
When she was cleaned, Goose had dinner going. Y/N ran up to and hugged his legs and she looked down seeing her smile at him "All cleaned up?" He asked and she nodded.
"Yes! I'm hungry." She said as Carole walked in behind her with their muddy clothes and threw them in the washing machine and started it. They both laughed.
"Just like your daddy." Carole said shaking her head.
"He was always hungry. He is still that way." Goose said as he turned off the stove and got down plates and plated for everyone. They went to the table and began to eat. Afterwards they got her down for bed easily. It was a pretty peaceful night for all of them.
The next morning Goose and Carole were up before Y/N making breakfast when Maverick walked in and greeted them both. "Hey guys. Where's Peanut?" He asked while taking his jacket off.
"She's still sleeping. She had an exciting day with Goose and mud yesterday." Carole said helping Goose.
"Have you heard anything from Ice?" Goose asked turning to him while turning off the stove and Carole walking to Y/N's room to get her.
"He said that we could send care packages if we want to. Otherwise they're doing well and can't want to be home." Maverick said leaning up against the door. Before they could say anything Maverick was thrown a little bit forward by a weight and a shriek.
"Grandpa Maverick!" Y/N yelled and he picked her up.
"Good morning, Peanut." He said and hugged her. "I heard you had a good day with Grandpa Goose yesterday." He said looking at her and she nodded widley.
"Uh huh! We played in the mud!" She said excitedly and he just smiled and laughed especially when he saw the look on Goose and Carole's faces.
"Breakfast time." Carole said bringing two plates at a time over to the table while Goose did the same thing and Maverick carried Y/N over. They ate peacefully.
"Maverick said that we could send care packages to Jake and Bradley if we wanted to." Goose said and Y/N lit up at the names of her parents.
"I think that would be a marvelous idea." Carole said and Y/N nodded her head.
"I wanna send them something! Please?" She asked and they all smiled, she sure does love her daddies.
"Of course you can honey. They would love that." Carole said and that is how Y/N finished her breakfast. She couldn't wait to send something special to them and she had the perfect things in mind.
That evening Carole had gotten a box and both she and Goose had written them letters and had thrown in some stuff that they thought they would like. Maverick was there as well doing the same thing for Ice but he was sending some stuff that Ice had forgotten and needed.
Y/N had made them each a card and when it came time for her to put something special in the box she had disappeared for a minute, it was long enough to concern the adults in the room. Goose had decided to go and check on her. "Doing ok, Chick?" He asked and she looked up at him and nodded
"Yes." She said and grabbed two of her stuffed animals and walked out into the living room. She gently put two of them in the box and then looked up when she noticed it was quiet.
"Peanut, are you sure you want to send those?" Maverick asked and she nodded.
"I want Dada and Papa to have them. They'll keep them safe." She said in a matter of fact tone then going back to making them pictures.
"Ok, Honey. Just as long as you are sure." Carole said with tears in her eyes.
"I'm sure." Y/N said and without looking up and didn't see the adults with a surprised look on their faces and tears in their eyes. Y/N also wrote them a note explaining why she sent them.
Afterwards they had everything together they all ate supper and Maverick went home. Goose put Y/N to bed and then walked out to Carole who was crying. "Are you ok?" Goose asked his wife and she nodded then he noticed that she was holding the note.
"She's such a sweet girl." She said as Goose came over and sat down next to her and read the note, he too started to cry. Once they were done making sure everything was there, they taped the boxes and wrote the address and wrote the boys' name on there.
The next morning Maverick came over to pick Goose up and the packages and they went to work and shipped them off with everyone else's.
Bradley and Jake were sitting with the rest of The Dagger squad in the common room when Bob asked about Y/N. "How's Y/N doing?" He asked, out of all of the group, besides Jake and Bradley, Y/N had spent more time with Bob and his family. Bob had a little boy named Mason and Y/N and him had hit it off very well.
"She's doing good. She cried when we had to leave." Bradley answered "How's Mason?" Bradley asked.
"He's doing good. Asking when he can see Y/N again." He said with a smile.
"I bet when they grow older they're gonna date, get married, and have kids." Jake said with a smirk and everyone chuckled at that.
"They're going to be little heartbreakers that's for sure." Nat said.
"Knowing them, they're going to be too shy to say anything." Javy said.
"Y/N shy? Have you met her? She's too much like her father's." Mickey said
"What's that supposed to mean?" Jake and Bradley said at the same time.
"Oh come on, you're both outgoing and won't let anything hold you back. He means nothing bad about it. She has both good qualities from you." Ruben said and they all had to agree with that. Just then Ice came in with Slider carrying packages.
"Packages for everyone." Ice announced and they handed them out to everyone. Jake and Bradley got theirs and smiled they opened it and immediately teared up, on top were Hershey the bear and Rolo the bunny, Y/N's favorite stuffed animals.
"Isn't that two of Y/N's favorite stuffed animals?" Javy asked and they both nodded and grabbed the note.
Papa and Dada
Hershey and Rolo will keep you safe while you fly. They keep me safe from bad dreams. So they keep you safe now! I told them they had to!
I miss you! I want you back home!
Grandpa Goosey and I played in mud yesterday! Grandma was mad but we chased her down and tackled her in a hug.
Love you!
The note was short and sweet but it was enough to make them cry. There were notes from Carole and Goose and drawings from Y/N they were both emotional for the rest of the night. When they were done they had each grabbed the stuffed animals and took a picture with them. They've decided that they would capture moments with them in different places. Both Bradley and Jake slept with them, even if it was weird for grown men to be sleeping with stuffed animals but not to a parent. It felt like they had their little girl with them at all times and they would always love that feeling.
It was 2 months in their deployment and each time they went up in the air they would take Hershey and Rolo and take pictures of them and with them. It quickly became the new normal to see them with the stuffed animals, if anyone dared make fun of them for it they would be getting an earful from Ice himself and that was scary enough.
They had just docked for a brief 4 hours just to get everyone off the aircraft carrier and battleship. It was also their chance to get some food and treats from themselves. The Daggers stayed pretty close with each other. They all had to laugh at how many times Bradley and Jake got hit on, and seeing the people's faces fall when they found out when they were married to each other.
"Hey let's take a picture!" Javy had practically yelled out and everyone laughed but nodded. They had gotten someone to take a picture of them and Jake had Hershey and Bradley had Rolo in the center. They couldn't wait to show their little girl the pictures. One would think Jake would be too embarrassed but he wasn't not in the least bit, he proudly showed off that stuffed animal because it was his little girls.
A blonde haired women walked up to the group with her friends in tow. "Cute stuffed animals. Where'd you get them?" She asked flirtly eyeing Jake up.
"Yeah, they're adorable." One of her friends said and Jake and Bradley just smirked.
"They belong to our daughter." Jake said with a smirk and pointed between Bradley and himself and they watched her face fall for just a second. "Their names are Hershey and Rolo." He said pointing to each of the stuffed animals.
"Oh that is adorable! How old is your daughter? Do you have a picture?" She asked and they both nodded as Bradley pulled out his phone and pulled up a picture of them both with Y/N in the middle hugging their necks while they kissed each cheek and smiling.
"She's 4 and her name is Y/N." Bradley said showing her the picture.
"She's adorable. She's lucky to have two good looking fathers." She said and they nodded. The group of girls ended up staying and talking with them until it was time to leave. They didn't want to hook up with any of them, especially when they found out Jake and Bradley were married to each other and had a kid and Bob was married as well and had a kid. They asked about his wife and Mason and he shyly told them about them.
As the 4 hours was coming to an end everyone started to walk back to the aircraft carrier and battleship. When they were in front of the aircraft carrier Bradley and Jake paused as well as the rest of the group. "Hey lets get a picture real quick." Jake said to Bradley and he nodded. Bob offered to take the picture and they did so right next to the ship's name. Once it was taken they got back on board and waited to be undocked.
Each day or week that they did something fun or interesting or when they felt like it they would take pictures with Hershey and Rolo. They had been out on the flight deck with their jets and they had put them in the cockpit and labeled the pictures as 'Lt. Hershey and Lt. Rolo ready to fly.' They would be printing these out when they got back to land for their little girl.
They had a lot of fun taking them everywhere and taking pictures. Hershey and Rolo even made it in the picture with the entire deployment. They had become such the normal that even some of the other shipmates took pictures with them 'Making new friends.' on picture had said. Ice and Slider even got in on it 'Grandpa Ice and Uncle Slider hanging out with Hershey and Rolo.'
They had taken a picture of them looking out into the ocean saying 'Taking a short break and looking out into the ocean.' Their deployment was a lot more enjoyable with their daughter's stuffed animals.
The mission was finally done when it came to the third month. Everyone was grateful for it. Jake and Bradley couldn't wait to get back to their little girl. They didn't have much time to talk to anyone but they some great pictures. They had been finally able to video call their loved ones. They called Goose and Carole and they picked up on the first ring.
"Hey boys! How's it going?" Goose asked they smiled
"Going good! Just got done with the mission." Bradley said
"Where's Sweets?" Jake asked and Carole held up a finger and moved out of frame.
"Y/N your fathers are on the phone!" She yelled and they heard something crash and then feet pounding on hardwood they just smiled and shook their head. She came into frame after sliding to a stop and Goose caught her.
"Papa! Dada!" She yelled out her hair was wild and falling into her face. Goose put her on his lap and Carole came into view.
"Hey, Sweets. We miss you." Jake said
"We loved the surprise you sent." Bradley said brining out the stuffed animals "Matter in fact everyone loved them." He added and she smiled and her eyes lit up.
"I told you they would keep you safe!" She said and they nodded.
"They sure did, Honey." Bradley said
"When are you guys coming home?" Carole asked
"Should be in a week or so." Jake said
"We can't wait to see you. We miss you, especially Chick." Goose said
"Are you being good for them, Sweets?" Jake asked and Y/N nodded her head.
"Of course Papa!" She nodded her head wildly. Bradley looked at his parents and they noddded.
"I hear you got into mud and got Grandma covered." Bradley said and they saw that signature Sersin smirk appear on her face and she nodded.
"She did but it was all in good nature. Goose put her up to it." She said and Goose gasped.
"I would never!" He sounded but everyone knew the truth.
"Hey guys we have to go. We'll see you soon." Bradley said and Jake nodded.
"We love you both!" Carole and Goose said at the same time.
"Love you Dada and Papa!" Y/N said and everyone smiled.
"We love you all too." They said in unison and then they had hang up which instantly put a frown on little Y/N's face.
"What's wrong, Honey?" Carole asked
"I miss them." She said and burrowed into Goose's arms and neck and hugged her a rubbed her back as she cried. Caroled rubbed her back as well.
"They'll be home soon. I promise." Carole said and Y/N sniffled and nodded her head. She couldn't wait to see her daddies.
As they had said it was a week later and everyone was heading down to the docks to pick their loved ones up. Carole had Y/N in her arms as they arrived at the docks. Maverick was with them too along with Bob's wife and Mason. They were on the look out for The Daggers and when they spotted them Y/N went crazy.
"I see Papa and Dada!" She said as they started to walk over to them. Once everyone got close enough Carole let her down and she ran over to them and jumped into Bradley's arms and they both hugged her.
"Hi, Honey. It's so good to see you." Bradley said
"We missed you so much, Sweets." Jake said while hugging her as well.
"I missed you both!" She said and they smiled and walked over the rest of the group that had reached Maverick, Goose, and Slider.
"Grandpa Ice! Uncle Slider!" She yelled and gave them hugs and they greeted her back. Everyone greeted each other and they were split and headed their own way.
When Bradley, Jake, Y/N, Goose, and Carole arrived back home. Y/N was nonstop talking but knew when to be respectful and let the grownups talk. They stayed over at Goose and Carole's for a few hours and then they were packing Y/N's stuff up and heading home.
When they got into the Bronco she started up the talking. It was getting late considering it was 10 PM at night when they got back.
"-and then we went to the beach a built sand castles. We got ice cream there." She continued talking.
"That sounds fun Sweets. I'm glad you had a good time." Jake said smiling back at her and saw how her eyes were lit up, Bradley could see it too. Jake turned back around and Bradley turned his attention back on the road.
"It was! We then went to the park a lot and and...." She drifted off and when Bradley stopped at a red light they looked back and found her fast asleep. They looked at each other and smiled.
They arrived back at home and Bradley parked The Bronco and killed the engine and quietly got out. Jake was already by the door and opening it and getting her out. She adjusted but never woke up. They walked into the house and shut the garage. They would get the bags in the morning.
They both decided to let her sleep in the bed with them wanting their little girl close. Jake and Bradley got ready for bed while she slept. Bradley had ran back out the garage and grabbed Hershey, Rolo, and Cookie. He walked back upstairs and saw his husband already cuddling with Y/N he smiled and climbed into to bed with them. They snuggled her and they fell asleep. Finally being able to get a good nights sleep in 3 months now that they were back home with their daughter safe in their arms.
Bradley and Jake had printed out the pictures they had taken and showed them to Y/N and she lit up like Christmas tree when they told her the stories. They hung them up in her room and they made duplicates to put in a photo album for her. What they didn't know was that those pictures would stay up on her wall for years to come and that photo album would go everywhere with her.

A/N: not proofread
During the long walk towards Y/N's new room, her and her Lady-in-Waiting Natasha reunited. Reuben and Mickey stayed behind in their own quarters to prepare for the celebration dinner.
Adelaine lead both woman through a large hallway, before stopping in front of a large door. "Your Majesty, this will be your and your husbands room, is there anything else I can contribute with?" Adelaine asked her new ruler. Y/N smiled at the woman: "No, thank you Miss Adelaine. You were a great aid with showing me the ballroom and my quarters. My Lady-in-Waiting will help me get ready for the dinner now" Y/N mentioned towards Natasha, who was standing quietly next to her queen.
Adelaine bowed her head before opening the door for the two woman. "Very well, on the right side of the room is your bathroom. King Jacob has requested you to wear a dress from his late mother. The dress is layed out on your bed. I will leave you and your Lady-In-Waiting alone now" she continued while turning her body to the left.
"If you have any questions or requests, you can always ask the guarts present at the doors and they will lead you towards me or any compagnion approved by the king." Adelaine finished before vanishing down the hallway.
Natasha's gaze moved towards Y/N. "Shall we get ready, your Majesty?" She asked with a tease in her tone. Natasha never called Y/N "your majesty" when no-one was around. Y/N wasn't just a queen to Natasha, she was her best friend.
For the first time today, Y/N felt a real smile on her face. "We shall my Lady-in-Waiting" she teased back. Natasha laughed, locked arms with her best friend and entered the bedroom.
————————————————————————————————————————
A couple hours laters different important men and women were awaiting for their king and new queen to walk down the grand staircase in the hallway. Servers were passing out expensive champagne, the kind of champagne only used during the most importantly times in the kingdoms history. Maids were placing the finishing touches to the long dinner table awaiting in the ballroom and cooks were finishing preparing meal including the two deers Jake and Bradley managed to hunt down.
There was a clear distribution between the men and women of the Kingdom of Misthaven and the men and woman of the Kingdom of Eldoria. One stood on the right side and the other on the left side. The left side contained of 5 people: Natasha Trace, Reuben Fitch, Mickey Garcia, a trusted knight of Eldoria and a young maid of the kingdom.
Natasha, Reuben and Mickey were having a conversation, laughing about the fact that both men got lost in the big castle and had to be rescued by a knight-in-training. The knight and maid were laughing with them, occasionally sipping their glass of champagne.
The other side contained of around 15 people, including Bradley Bradshaw, Pete Mitchell, Bob Floyd and Javy Machado. The other women and men present were important rulers and wealthy people of different kingdoms. They were old friends of Jakes parents. Jake couldn’t care one bit about them.
The 15 people had hushed conversations, the total opposite of what was happening in front of them. Many of them shot a disgusted look at the five people. How dare they make this much noice? How dare they act like they are important? How dares the new queen to let the servers give a maid champagne?
“Do you see that, Harold? That maid is just drinking with them? Shouldn’t she be working like the others?” A dark-haired lady whispered to her husband. Bradley stood next to the couple, his gaze slowly left the floor to look over at the maid. She’s just having fun, celebrating the new queen, what’s so wrong about that?
Bradley never liked the friends of Jakes parents, they all thought they were better than everyone because they had more money. The knight sighed before turning his gaze towards Bob.
Jake had told Bob he didn’t want any of these people here. Bob, being the great Royal Advisor he is, told Jake he had to invite them. Jakes father put a lot of time into befriending these people, they could help if the kingdom should fall.
Before Bradley’s thoughts could wander any further, footsteps were heard. Heels clicking against tiles made the guests conversations quieten down. A knight standing at the top of the stairs cleared his throat, ready to announce King Jake Seresin and his Queen Y/N Seresin
————————————————————————————————————————
Y/n stood in front of the mirror in the bathroom, the dress stood her beautifully on her skin. A pearl necklace shined from around her neck. Her newly crown was placed on her head. The maids had left 10 minutes ago, making her the only person left in the room.
She knew Jake was waiting on the other side of the door for her. They were supposed to be walking down the stairs right now, but nerves got the best of y/n. Could she do this? Could she be a good queen? A good ruler? Could she ever fall in love with the man standing outside? Will he even try to fall in her love with her? This marriage would be easier if they tried to fall in love with each other. Maybe…
A knock broke her thoughts. “Are you almost ready? The guests are waiting on us” a deep voice followed the knock. Y/n noticed Jake also left his royal talk behind when he talked to her. She didn’t mind it, this way she felt like she known him longer.
Y/n slowly moved to the door and twisted the door handle. Jake had moved back towards the bed and sat on the end of it. His gaze met Y/n. It was silent and both parties admired the others look. Slowly Jake stood up and moved towards y/n.
His eyes looked over the dress, the dress that once belonged to his mother. He could remember his mother in this dress. He could remember how his dad looked at his mom when she wore this dress. His mother wore this dress when his dad and mom renewed their vowes. The year before she passed away due to an unknown disease. Jake was 15 at the time. She wore this dress when she pulled Jake into a mommy-son dance during the celebration party. She was wearing this dress when she asked Jake to promise her that he would look after his future wife like his dad looked after her. She was wearing this dress when Jake promised his mom that he would give the world to his future wife.
And now she was wearing it. And maybe for a second Jake eyes shifted from annoyance for being too late, to a dedication in making this marriage actually work, al because of the memory of his mother.

I came across an Instagram video about a dad who received a plushie from his son to take with him on deployment, the dad takes pictures with the plushie on deployment and it’s the cutest thing ever. I immediately thought of the Top Gun characters doing this (especially Bradley and Jake). 🥰🧸💞

A/N: a little filler part, I hope I can start the main storyline next part :)
A group of maids and knights were waiting at the majestic steps of the castle's entrance. As the newlywed couple arrived, Rooster opened the carriage door, his hand extended to assist Y/N. With careful steps Y/n left the carriage. Rooster lead her towards the awaiting maids, her eyes skimmed over the front of the castle. The outside looked as dull as the flowers at the wedding, knights were walking around the castle and guarding the large metal doors. Rooster stopped you in front of a young blonde woman, she couldn’t be older than 23, 4 years older than her queen. “Ma’am, may I introduce Miss Adelaine, she will guide you to you your room” Rooster explained, gently releasing her hand. Y/n hands fell to her side, she focused her attention on the curly-haired knight before her. “She will replace Lady Trace in situation when your Lady-in-waiting isn’t available.” The mention of her best friend made her look around. Where was Natasha, and Mickey, and Rueben? “For now, I must excuse myself. King Jake and I will be hunting. Should you ever feel uneasy or unsafe, don't hesitate to contact Pete Mitchell. We'll regroup at the evening's dinner, set for 7:30 pm" He concluded.
He walked away towards a group of men attending to a pair of horses. In the middle sat Jake atop his black horse. Next to him stood a brown horse, its saddle soon occupied by Rooster. The two set off towards the woods. Y/N's gaze lingered on their departing figures. Jake didn’t even say goodbye to her, he just left to hunt. To hunt ln their wedding day, while she got a tour of the castle. Turning her attention to Adelaine, their eyes met and the older woman bowed for her queen. “Your Majesty, I'm honored to have been chosen to accompany you to your room" She kept her head down while talking: “Your Lady-in-waiting, Lady Trace is receiving her own tour, accompanied by your own queen's champions Mister Fitch and Mister Garcia” Adelaine continued, lifting her gaze when she finished her speech, standing tall in her role.
Y/N's lips curved into a gracious smile aimed at Adelaine: "I truly appreciate your presence, Miss Adelaine. it's a pleasure to have someone to lead me through this marvellous castle. I would like to see where I would be staying." Adelaine smiled at her before leading the queen up the grand staircase. The knights in front of the doors lock eyes with Y/N. With automatic movements, the knights step infront of the doors and pull them open. Y/N was speecheless when she saw the room behind the doors. It was a gorgeous entryway with marble steps leading to the second floor. All though the castle looked dull outside, the inside was a different story. "Our first stop will be the ballroom, where the evening's dinner will unfold." Adelaine explained before guiding Y/N towards another gorgeous door to the right of the stairs. Once again a knight was guarding the door and opened it when he saw the queen approaching. Y/N looked around one more time before entering the ball room and she noticed that every door had a knight in front of it.
Other maids were already setting up a table. The table was long and had around 30 chairs standing. A loud voice rang trough the room, it's impact rippling through both the maids and the queen herself. Startled, Y/N turned to the source, a knight whose standing next to the door. "Behold your new Queen: Y/N Y/M/N Seresin!" A knight introduced. All the maids and servers in the room bowed their head for her for an entire minute before continuing their work. "Your Majesty, this is the ballroom. This room is used during balls and royal celebrations." Adelaine explained. Y/N silently walked around the room. On every wall hung a portrait of earlier rulers of the Kingdom of Misthaven. Soon a portrait of her and Jake would be made and hung here. Adelaine shadowed her steps until Y/N paused before the room's most imposing portrait. The canvas depicted a woman sitting on the trone. She was wearing the crown she wore about an hour ago when she left the church. This must of been the previous queen. beside her stood a tall man. He had a big beard and shared the eyes of her husband. The man was wearing the crown which now belonged to Jake. Her eyes trailed over the painting and followed the arm of the king. His hand was sat on a young boy. A young boy of 10 years. The boy had blonde hair, green eyes and a big smile on his face. This must be Jake. Her attention shifted to a painting next to the family portrait. On that painting stood Jake as the king, a strong look in his eyes and no smile on his face. How could this little boy with the biggest smile Y/N may ever have seen be the ruthless king ever.
The new queen signed, closed her eyes and turned towards the blonde maid: "you can lead me to my room". Adelaine nodded before pointing towards a door in the room. "This way, your Majesty" Y/N followed her, no emotion was shown on her face. But if you looked deep into her eyes, you could see small tears forming on her bottom eyelid.
Meanwhile Jake and Rooster were riding their horses deep inside the woods. "Sooo, how does it feel to be married?" Rooster teased his best friend, his royal talk long gone since the two were on their own. Jake shot a look at Rooster, "Let's not talk about this okay, I already need to talk about it during dinner for too long". Jake said, a flicker of annoyance lacing his words. His gaze swept the expanse of the woods, his thoughts clearly elsewhere. They still had to hunt for dinner tonight. Both men were hoping on shooting a deer, maybe even two. "Well, if it makes you feel better, I don't think she thrilled about this marriage either" Rooster continued, ignoring Jakes request. "It was arranged, trust me if I could choose who and when I would marry, I wouldn't have chosen an 19 year old girl who doesn't even know how to defends her own kingdom" Jake explained with an annoying tone in his voice. Rooster silently nodded his head. He would have imagined his best friend wedding day different as well. If you would tell him that his best friend would settle down at 21 years old, he would have laughed straight into your face. But now that was reality. Rooster added his final thoughts: "You need to trust the process. Bob said this would be good for your image and you didn't make him your Royal Advisor if you didn't trust him" Jake signed once again, he knew the knight was right. His reputation wasn't the best in not only other kingdoms but his own as well.
Movement to his left stopped his thinking, both men slowed down their horse before taking out their bows and arrows. "I think I see our dinner Rooster" Jake smiled, arrow next to his eye, ready to shoot. "I think you're right Hangman" his compagnion smiled, the quiet sound of a flying arrow ending his sentence.
