“How?” Noreen waved her hand around to indicate the Little Bird helicopter they were sitting in. She and Connie were in the backseat, because there was no way either John or Xavier would fit back here. They switched both of their headsets to an isolated circuit so that they could chat.

She felt like she should be refereeing for Xavier and John, but they were both big boys and would just have to figure it out at some point. Better here in the air than on the ground. She’d never seen anyone actually loom over her brother before, but Xavier definitely had. Her Warrior-Defender-in-a-sling. So damn cute she could melt.

Her stupid tailbone pillow made her several inches taller than Connie and she didn’t like it. It felt all out of whack, but there wasn’t anything she could do about it.

“John and I have been reassigned from active duty to the Headquarters and Headquarters Company. We’re working on the next round of enhancements to the aircraft.”

Which made perfect sense. SOAR’s top two mechanics were already responsible for most of the innovations in the Night Stalker’s customized airframes.

“One of the bonuses they dangled was that we can use a helo to go home on the weekends—it cuts the travel time to just over two hours. Usually we do in-flight testing en route, but sometimes we just fly.”

“But why go to the HHC now? I thought you liked the field.”

“We do. There’s no better way to see how an aircraft performs than under actual battle conditions.” But then Connie rested a hand on her belly and her rare smile showed up warm and soft.

“Oh my god!” Noreen knew right away. “I’m going to be an auntie!”

She wrapped her arms around Connie. Noreen had only delivered one or two babies over the years, but she’d studied plenty and they talked about nothing else for the first hour of the flight.
