Top Gun Imagines

Threes A Crowd

This is another story I wrote for TheVDTW

Enjoyyyyy

Her tiny face was perfect, she slept peacefully against my chest.

"She's perfect." Bradley whispered, he's cuddling next to me on the hospital bed. Gently caressing his daughter's short hair.

I smile, looking down at the bundle.

"What do you think Nick and Mav are gonna think?" I laugh. Bradley gave me a mock anxious look.

"They'll be fine, Nicks excited. Maven's gonna eventually be excited." He laughs. I nod, Nick had been very excited for the new baby. Maven was just over a year and a half old now, so she was blissfully unaware her world was about to change.

"I like your name suggestion." Bradley smiles at me.

"Piper Leigh?" I ask. He nods. "That's the one."

I smile down at the baby, "Is Piper your name?" I gently whisper to her. In which she moves and stretches a bit, which brought a smile to both of us.

"Yep, she likes Piper!" Bradley quietly laughs.

The silent calmness of the hospital room was interrupted by the opening of a door. In marches our three year old.

"Hey buddy!" Bradley says as he gets up to see him. Nick grinned seeing us, waiting for Bradley.

My mom walks in, holding Maven on her hips. Talking to her quietly.

"Hey Mavy!" I quietly call to her. She turns her big hazel eyes to me, immediately grinning.

Bradley picked Nick up and brought him to the hospital bed, setting him beside and and going back to get Maven.

Nick cuddled next to me, looking at the baby.

"This is Piper," I smile at him, "Piper.." he repeats, gently touching her face.

Bradley sits down on the bed again, holding Maven. She looks at the baby and starts babbling.

"Do you like the baby Maven?" I smile at her, holding Piper up closer to her. Bradley carefully watched her hands, ready to intervene and grab her wild hands if he had to.

"I wanna hold her." Nick whispered quietly. Looking up at me with his curious eyes, to which I gently positioned him to hold her.

I gently placed Piper in his arms, using my hands to additionally support her head and body. Nick looked down at her, grinning.

Bradley smiled, "Look at you holding the baby bud."

Bradley set Maven next to Nick, letting her see the baby more.

"Gentle hands" I remind her, she peers carefully beside Nick, looking at Piper.

"How sweet!" My mom quietly says from the side, "Say cheese!" She says as she pulls out her small red digital camera.

Bradley scoots closer to me, "Say cheese!" He repeats to the kids.

Both Maven and Nick audibly said 'cheese!'  And the picture was snapped. A bright light coming from the top of the camera.

"Aw perfect." She smiles as she looks at it, bringing the camera over for us to see.

My entire world. My entire family. Was sitting all around me, with our newest baby. I smile at the picture.

"Perfect!"
