Copilot~ Rooster (Top Gun: Maverick FanFic)

chapter 22

July 21st

I wake up to the sun hitting me in the face. Along with my husbands head on my shoulder. I felt his soft breaths and mustache hair tickling my neck. His arm laid under my belly, holding my tightly. He's been in love with my little belly since I've started showing some. I turn over slightly so I was on my side and I could put an arm around him. The small shift in my position made him toss and turn a little, repositioning himself so his head on laying on my boobs. Not gonna lie, since being pregnant you boobs have gotten so much bigger. Bradley calls them 'his pillows.'

"Good morning beautiful." He says into my chest with a raspy voice. "Good morning handsome." I say back, playing with the little curls in the back of his head. He sits up and looks down at my exposed belly. He leans down and kisses it. "Good morning to you too princess." He says and smiles up at me. "Princess?" I ask with an eyebrow raised. "It's gonna be girl. I know it is." He says. "Do you want a girl or a boy?" I ask, sitting up beside him. "I want a little daddy's girl." He admits. "Wow. I would've thought you wanted a boy so he could do manly stuff with you," We both laugh. "I want a girl too. But I'm obviously okay with either." I say laying back down. There's a minute of silence "What if it's twins?" I joke, Bradley whips his head towards me. "I really hope there's not two in there." He says pointing at my belly. I laugh and agree with him.

I walk into our bathroom and he follows. As soon as I stand up, the sickness kicked in. "You wanna take a shower?" He asks, smirking. I cover my mouth with one hand and hold up my pointer finger with my other hand to say 'hold on.' I turn to the toilet and of course puke. He holds my hair back like always. I stand back up. "That was a real mood killer, wasn't it?" I laugh, referring to him asking if I wanted to shower together. "No, you can't help that. Offer still stands." He says taking off his clothes and hopping into the shower. I was only wearing a sports bra and shorts so it wasn't much to take off. So I hop in with him.

"So, we have a boat for the rest of the trip." My dad tells us all as me and Bradley walk into the kitchen. "Sweet, when are we going?" Coyote asks. "We were waiting on baby mama over here." Phoenix teases. I playfully smack her arm. "Hey!" I exclaim. I grab something small to eat. "We can go whenever. I'm good." I tell the group. "Wait, before we leave," Violet starts, pulling out a couple of bags from her backpack. "I got us matching swimsuits for another time, but we can wear these on the boat!" She squeals, handing us girls captains hats. I laugh and take it from her and out it on. The girls take theirs too. "We don't get hats?" Bradley whines. "Nope." Violet responds. "Let's go!" Amelia yells, running out of the door.

We finally get to the boat and load on. Everyone was just sitting there waiting for someone to get into the drivers seat. Me and my mom looked at each other and laughed. I leave my seat beside my husband and go over to the steering wheel. "How is there all these men in the Navy on this boat and none of them know how to operate or drive it?" I call out, loud enough for everyone to hear. The girls laugh. "They aren't really in the Navy, then." Halo speaks up. "Hey now!" All the men yell over top each other. I turn the boat on and maneuver away from the dock. "Where we going?" I yell. "Up to you Captain.... are you Bradshaw now or still Mitchell?" Hangman asks. I laugh. "Mitchell-Bradshaw. I don't wanna be just Bradshaw and get confused with Roost. So I'm going by both." I say, continuing to steer the boat.

Bradley's eyes lit up when I said that. He knew my worry about getting mixed up if we had the same last name. So, he thought I was keeping my maiden name because I probably won't have the same rank as my father at the same time. I wink and smile at him. I finally find a place to stop, I turn the boat off and put the anchor down, even tho the water isn't moving. I walk to the edge on the boat to talk to the girls when I hear foot steps behind me. All of a sudden, I'm scooped up. Bradley holding my top half and Hangman holding my bottom half. "Guys! No! Put me down!" I yell, squirming. "Jake Seresin I'm serious! I'll make your life a living hell!" I continue to yell. He looks over at my husband. "Bradley William Bradshaw, if you don't remember Im carrying your child! Put me the fuck down!" I yell one more time.
