Call Back {Top Gun Maverick - Completed}

Epilogue: Wedding Day

Three Years Later

Hennessey stood in her childhood room, staring in the mirror. She was adorned in a beautiful white gown. Her bridesmaids consisted of Nat, Becca, Brandie, and Lia, with Evelyn being her maid of honor. Brandie, Rebecca, Evelyn, and Natasha were in their dress uniforms, while Amelia was in a beautiful navy-blue dress.

Just over a year ago, they had been in this type of celebration when Rebecca and Bradley got married. That had been the first time Hennessey met Rebecca's mom, Charlotte Blackwood. It had been a magical moment where everyone had been able to see each other again as most of the squadron had been deployed in different areas after the few weeks of vacation.

 A soft knock rapped at the door before it cracked open slightly.

"Can we come in?" Maverick asked through the crack.

Becca walked over, blocking any potential view of Hennessey.

"It's just me and Mav," Penny stated. 

Becca looked back and Henne nodded. The door was opened wider, letting the two in. Penny closed the door behind her. Mav was dressed in his black dress uniform, with Penny dressed in a dark gray dress with lacy flower sleeves. The two looked at their daughter in shock. One of the photographers got a few photos of the family's first look.

"Oh, Henne. Look at you," Penny gushed, walking up to her eldest daughter.

"Mama, you look beautiful," Henne complimented. 

The mother and daughter hugged tightly. It had been a moment Hennessey was dreaming about since she was little, and a moment Penny knew was bound to happen eventually. Maverick smiled at his wife and daughter. Just getting to experience both of his biological daughters' weddings was something he wouldn't have imagined five years ago, let alone having two biological children.

"Henne, just a small tip, don't trip on the isle," Natasha teased, smiling at her friend, "Now let's go to the base."

Everyone shuffled out of the room, meeting in the kitchen. Everyone dispersed into separate vehicles. Evelyn and Henne in Hennessey's Ford. Natasha, Rebecca, Amelia, and Brandie in an olive green 1957 Pontiac Star Chief. Maverick and Penny went in Penny's Porsche. 

The venue was a hangar at North Island Naval Base, where Hennessey was still stationed. She had quickly raised to the rank of Commander since the mission. Everyone else followed, some also at the Commander rank whiles others were Lieutenant Commanders. The hangar had a partially full pattern of F-18's outside. Among them, was Hennessey's jet and Mickey's jet.

Amelia squeezed her older sister's hand, a small gesture of encouragement and support. The groom and groomsmen were outside and around the corner from the door to the hangar. Meanwhile, Hennessey, her mom, and the bridesmaids were inside Hennessey's office. 

"Let's start getting the first look photos done," The main photographer suggested.

Everyone nodded. The group of bridesmaids walked out with the assistant photographer, in search of Mickey. Maverick hugged Hennessey, kissing her on the forehead.

"You ready to do a first look with the groomsmen?" Penny asked.

It was one of the non-traditional things Mickey and Hennessey agreed on doing at their wedding. For Mickey to do a first look with the bridesmaids and for Henne to do one with the groomsmen before they got to do a first look with each other.

The main photographer and Hennessey left the office, walking towards the main hangar space. The main photographer held his hand out, signaling her to stop.
