Copilot~ Rooster (Top Gun: Maverick FanFic)

chapter 19

"Lt. Bradshaw, is your wife aware she's pregnant?"

(Bradleys POV)

May 25th

My heart sank. It feels like a ton of bricks just hit me in the chest. "Um, no, not that I know of. Are you sure?" I ask running my hands through my hair. "Yes sir, it showed up in her blood work." I was completely shocked. I had no idea what to do. "How far along?" "I'd say about four weeks, maybe 5." He tells me. "Okay, so what do we do now then? Did we lose it since she lost so much blood?" I ask. "Well, as soon as she got down here we called for a MEDEVAC helicopter since we don't have enough blood on deck. Now that we know she's pregnant, we definitely need to fly her out to make sure you didn't lose the pregnancy." I nodded. The doctor left and Phoenix walked into the room.

"Everyone okay?" She asks looking at Emma. "They're flying her off of the carrier. I'm going to tell you something and please don't repeat it to anyone else." She looked concerned. "She's being flown out because she needs more blood..." I started. "Okay what's so bad about telling me that?" She laughs. "And, she's pregnant." Her mouth drops and eyes go wide. "Holy shit. Why did she come on this mission?" She whisper yelled. "Because I don't think she knew." I tell her. "I don't know what to do Nat, I'm freaking out." I start pacing the room. "I'm sure everything will be okay. Was it an accident or were you trying?" She asks. "Well yeah we just started trying but the doctor guesses she's 4 weeks. So it was well before we started." I explain.

Her eyes grew wider. "Wait, you're not the dad?" She whisper yells again. I put my hand over my face. "Yes, Natasha, I'm the dad. It was just an accident from the first night we got here." She puts a hand on her chest. "Shew. Thank god." Here comes Maverick. Perfect timing. "You heard anything yet?" he asks. "Yeah. She's being airlifted any minute." I tell him. I felt nervous that the doctor was going to end up telling him she's pregnant. Yes I told Phoenix, but she's her best friend and I don't think she'd be too mad about her knowing. I'm going to try my best to keep everyone else from knowing until Emma is awake and I can't talk to her. "Okay Lt. Bradshaw, the helicopter is here for your wife. Captain Mitchell, are you coming along?" The doctor asks him. "Yes, of course." They wheel Emma out of the infirmary and to the deck, me and Mav running right behind.

(2 weeks later, Emma's POV)

June 8th

I open my eyes to the bright white lights. I find myself in a hospital bed, hooked up to machines and tubes in my mouth and nose. I quickly realize it's very heard to breathe with the tube in my mouth and begin to choke on it. Bradley jolts towards me in a panic and calling for a nurse. Once one finally comes to remove the tube, Bradley sits on the edge of my bed. "What happened? When did I get here?" I ask. "After the mission, you had lost too much blood and passes out. They airlifted you out to the nearest hospital to give you a blood transfusion. You've been in a medically induced coma for a little over 2 weeks now." My eyes widen. I reach my arms around to my gown and pull it to the side to check where my huge cut was, but it didn't really hurt and wasn't there anymore.

"You had about 50 stitches but they've already been taken out." Out of nowhere, I feel like I'm going to puke. I cover my mouth and Bradley scrambles to get a trash can. "Are you okay?" I nod, after wiping my mouth. "Emma there's something I have to talk to you about." My stomach dropped. I never liked that sentence. "Um, yeah. Did something bad happen?" I ask, starting to worry. "I wouldn't call it a bad thing. Maybe just the timing of finding out was bad." I push my eyebrows together trying to figure out what he's about to say. "Did you know you're pregnant?" I give him a confused look. "What?" I ask. "They told me on the carrier when you first passed out and had to have blood work. They didn't know if you'd lose the pregnancy from how much blood you lost. You're about 6 weeks now." He says.
