“Penny, did you know Bob was married?” Hangman called out and Penny looked up.

“Yea I buy my bread off of her. She is a hell of a baker.” Penny said, “I’m surprised Bob is so muscular with that way she bakes and cooks.”

“She makes me specific meals.” Bob said with a proud smile.

“Wait, what does she do for a living?” Rooster asked.

“Oh, she’s a stay at home wife.” He said, “She makes like sour dough and baked goods as a side thing.”

“Robert, you have literally never mentioned her.” Coyote said, “Are you like ashamed of how you two met?”

“Oh no.” Bob said with a smile, “We were technically high school sweethearts, I’ve been with her since eighth grade.”

“SINCE EIGHTH GRADE?” Rooster and Hangman said at the same time, “Jesus Bob!”

“Yea, I mean we broke up for like a week my junior year. But that was my fault.” He said, “I kissed Jenna on the lips during a school play.”

“You sly dog Bob!” Hangman said, hitting him in the shoulder.

“Alright! Alright! Enough of this sass, I wanna see a photo of Mrs. Floyd!” Phoenix said, motioning for Bob to pass his phone.

“I’ll show a singular photo but no swiping.” Bob said sternly.

“Why ya got nudies of your wife on your phone?” Coyote joked and Bob just looked at him.

Which confirmed everything they needed to know.

“Oh my god, is that why you are hiding her?” Rooster said with a laugh.

“NO!” Bob answered, looking down at his phone, “That isn’t why.” He mumbled, “Here, that is a fairly recent photo.”

He show them a photo of the two of you in front of the house you two owned now, your hand was on his chest and you were looking up at him like he hung the moon. He was looking down at you like you were his entire world.

“Holy hell she is hot.” Hangman whistled, “Alright, now I wanna see baby bob and his wife.”

“I should have a wedding photo on here.” Bob mumbled, “Alright, don’t judge me. This was before boot camp. Ah here it is.”

He showed a picture of the two of you, smiling like you two had one the lottery. Bob looked completely different both skin and lanky, but his glasses? They were still the same.

“Wow.” Phoenix said, “I was not expecting that.”

“The funny thing is.. Hangman has technically met her. He was just too drunk to remember.” Bob said, tucking his phone away, “She came to the last ball with me.”

“What? I don’t remember that.” He said with a scoff.

“Yea cause you were shit faced.” Phoenix said with a laugh, “But Bob, why didn’t you introduce any of us to her?”

“I tried!” Bob said, “Y’all were too busy watching Hangman cry over the date he paid for!”

“Sounds like too many excuses Bobby, I don’t think she’s real.” Coyote called out with a smirk.

“She is real.” Bob argued, “Isn’t she penny?”

“She is, but I don’t think they are gonna believe you unless you show them Bob!” Penny called out with a laugh.

“Fine, you guys don’t wanna believe me.” Bob started, “Come over tonight and you can meet her.”

“You have got yourself a deal Bobby boy!” Hangman said, “Hopefully it ain’t your left hand.”

“You have literally met her before, ya know what? Nevermind.” He mumbled, “See you guys in an hour.”

Bob got up, grabbing his keys. He didn’t say another word as he walked to his jeep, because he wasn’t going to take the disrespect the guys were giving his wife.

———————————————————————————

Meanwhile back at home you had just made dinner for your husband, plating everything and pouring him the iced tea he drank every night at dinner.

You heard the screen door open and heard his work boots on the floor.

“Bobby baby?” You called out, setting down his plate and iced tea.

“Yea it’s me sugar!” He called out, taking off his work boots to leave em by the door, “Dinner smells amazing, what did ya make tonight?”

“Marry me steak and air fried brussel sprouts. Plus I made rhubarb pie with ice cream!” You said, “Hope you brought an appetite.”

“I did!” He called out, “Am I allowed to kiss the chef or do I gotta wait till after my meal?”

You popped your head into the hallway, “Hmm that depends…” You cooed, “How badly did you miss me today?”

Bob came over and cupped your face, peppering it with kisses, “Mhm I might have you for dinner instead.” He whispered against your skin.

“Robert Lewis!” You giggled, “You smell like peanuts, did you go to the bar after work?”

He kissed your lips and you melted into him, “I did and I invited people over.” He mumbled against your lips, “Is that okay darling?”

“Wait..” Your voice muffled against his lips, “I didn’t make enough food.”

“Eh, just surprise them with your sweets. Just not my sweets.” He mumbled against your mouth, squeezing your ass.

“Robert!” You hissed against his mouth, gently hitting his chest.

You had to admit, you lucked out in the husband department. Bob Floyd worshipped the ground you walked on and made sure you had everything you ever needed. To Bobby? You were his universe. Bob was only having a good day if his wife paid him any mind.

“Sorry.” He laughed and pulled away, “Why don’t you go make some coffee while I’ll set up the desserts okay?” He offered.

“Deal.” You said, moving to the coffee maker.

Right on cue an hour later, the entire team showed up at Bobby’s condo by the beach.

“If he comes out with his left hand wearing a wig, I’ll lose my shit.” Hangman whispered as Phoenix knocked.

“Shut up.” Rooster hissed as the door swung open.

Bobby answered, dressed down from his work uniform in just an old base shirt and shorts. The smell of baked goods wafted from the house. “Come on in.” Bobby said with a smile, “She’s just making sure everything in the house is perfect.”

Everyone looked at each other to see who would enter the house first.

“Fuck it.” Payback said, “I’m a sucker from desserts.”

He headed in first, then Coyote followed, and soon the entire team headed into the house.

There you stood in the living room, “You guys must work with my husband, I’m Mrs. Floyd!” You said with a warm smile.

“Uh she’s real!” Coyote called out as you put a dessert in his hand. It was a raspberry cupcake with raspberry filling in the middle.

“Do you want coffee or sweet tea?” You asked as the rest of the team piled in.

Everyone just kind of stared at you, mouths open while Bob entered the room.

“Now do you guys believe me?” He asked, “Done interrogating me about my wife?”

He moved to stand beside you and wrapped an arm around your waist, “We’ll answer three questions, go!” He stated.

“How did you and Bobby meet?” Phoenix asked and you chuckled.

“Bobby and I met at the Sadie Hawkins dance, our community center put it on and he came from the next town over.” You explained, “We danced then his mom drove us to ice cream afterwards and drove me home. We exchanged emails and we talked as much as we could through emails. The rest was history… well besides us breaking up his junior year. But that was for like two weeks.”

“Hardest two weeks of my life.” Bob said, leaning down to kiss your head.

“So you guys really got married before Bob’s boot camp?” Coyote asked and you nodded.

“Yea, I mean Bobby and I knew we wanted to get married and it was going to be easier for us to get married before he left, so he did.” You said simply, “Of course the wait made the heart grow fonder.”

“It really did.” Bob said, looking down at you.

The group fake gagged and Bob chuckled, “Hey you guys wanted to meet my wife! Get used to us being lovey dovey!”

“So did you really just wait around till Baby on Board over here got settled?” Hangman asked.

“I got my bachelors degree in the mean time while Bob was away.” Sky said simply, “The idea of being a stay at home wife was all of his idea.”

“I make enough to spoil her and she does enough for me already.” Bob said proudly, “I’m glad to have someone as wonderful as her.”

“We are sorry we doubted you having a wife.” Rooster said, “But I mean I get why you kept her in the dark, she’s amazing!”

The rest of the evening was spent sharing stories that you had never got to hear because Bob wasn’t one to talk too much about his work family besides their accomplishments. In the end though, you were glad to have finally met Bob’s second family whom you now considered your own.

Now you just had to wait for the perfect time to announce another Floyd would be joining the family.
