New Years
A week has passed since Christmas. The Christmas decor was stuff up, but it was going to be taken down in a couple of days after new years. It was New Years Eve and you all were excited to go into the new year together. 
The last year brought a lot into your life. You met new people. Make more friends. You were reunited with the love of your life. Your daughter finally got to meet her dad, his friends, her papa Mav, Penny, Amelia. You got to marry Bradley. You live with him. You guys got a dog for your daughter and best of all, you welcomed two little boys. Expanded your family. Moved to a new place. 
The year also brought a lot of hardships. You had to be away from your newly husband just after a month of marrying him. You had to leave your best friend behind. You nearly lost your husband. You went and are still watching him make his recovery and baby steps towards his career. But, all in all. This year brought you so much more purpose in life. 
Bradley was at work getting some paperwork done for his officers. Jake, Nat, and Austin were getting ready for the night out. They asked if you wanted to join them for a couple of hours, and Phantom and Evelyn offered to watch the kids for the night. But you opted to stay home so you could give kisses to all three of them. 
Austin, Nat and Jake came down the stairs all dressed nicely for their night out. Nat came from behind the couch and wrapped her arms around your shoulders. 
“You sure you don’t want to come with for a couple of hours?” 
You laughed and patted her hand. “No you all go ahead. I’m going to stay back with the kiddos and wait for Bradley.” 
All three of them gave you a kiss on the cheek. “We will all see you in the morning.” Jake squeezed you a little tighter. “Happy New Year, Y/n.” 
You patted Jake’s arms and smiled. “Thank you, Jake. Have fun you guys! Be safe!” 
The three of them went to go and say bye to the kids as they played. You watched as they picked each of them up and kissed them and wished them a happy new year.
The three kids were playing on the floor. The boys sitting in their half donut pillows to help support them as they sat on their own, played with their toys. Leia was laying on her tummy reading a book from school. You were sitting on the couch watching them all play as you watched TV and drank some tea. 
———- 
Bradley’s POV
I had been stuck at work all day trying to finish up paperwork for the new year. I couldn’t wait to leave and go home to spend time with my family. I looked over at the clock in my office. 1845. “Damn I’ve been here for nearly 13 hours.” I stood up and stretched my back and looked out my window to the tarmac. A couple of the officers were down there doing their last checks on their planes before leaving for the day. There was a knock at my door. 
“Bradshaw? You in here?” Phantom came in as he knocked on the frame. 
I turned and smiled. “Right here, sir.” He came in and shook my hand. “You leaving for the day?” 
He chuckled. “I’ve got another hour before I head out. Would you like some company or help with anything?” He sat at the chair in front of my desk. 
I made my way around my desk and sat in my chair. “I should almost be done. Just going through some last minute changes for some routes the pilots are gonna fly in the new year. But the company will be nice as i finish it out.” I laughed as i continued to read the new route routine. 
“You and y/n want Eve and I to watch the kids tonight?” He sat back in the seat and made small conversation with me. 
I chuckled. “No, you, Eve, and the girls don’t have to do that for us. Y/n and I planned on staying home with the kids tonight.” 
Phantom picked up my little model f-14 on my desk. “Awh the boys first new years!” 
I nodded. “They’re getting so big now. And it is their first!” I signed a couple of route routines and put all the paperwork away. “Finally finished.” I neatly stacked all the worksheets and papers i had gone through in a pile. 
“You done for the day, Brad?” Phantom placed the f-14 back in its place. 
I sighed and nodded. “Finally. I’ve been sitting in this office for the last 12 hours finishing and pushing paperwork.” 
Phantom started to laugh. “How do you like being a senior officer?” 
I smiled and laid back in my chair. “It is a whole lot of paperwork, but it is a nice change of pace.”
———-
When we finally left the office, it was 1915. Phantom and I said out goodbyes and wished each other a happy new year. 
“See ya next year, Rooster.” Phantom waved at me before hoping into his car.
I laughed. “Yea, see ya next year.” I shook my head and smiled. I got into the truck and headed to the store. I went in and grabbed a couple of New Year’s party hats and crowns. I grabbed a couple of bottles of apple juice and apple cider. I also grabbed some poppers and a couple of noise makers for the kids. I loaded the bags into the truck and headed home to you. 
1950. “Finally home.” I got down from the car and grabbed the bags from the back. I opened the door. “I’m home, my loves!” I set the bags down and started to take off my shoes and hung up my hat. 
“Daddy!!!” Leia came running through the house and jumped into my arms. I covered her in kisses. 
“Hey my little love. I missed you today.” I started to make my way over to you. You picked up both boys and walked over towards me. “Oh baby, don’t pick both of them up.” I let Leia down and grabbed Luke from you. “Hi, baby. I missed you.” I gave you a kiss and then kissed the boys. 
“I missed you too, Brad. How was work?” You smiled and wiped your chapstick from my lips. 
I grabbed Bradley from your grasp and held both boys. “Busy as usual, honey. Just glad to be home.” I smiled and kissed the boys over and over again. We all made our way back to the couch and we all sat. Leia in between us and the boys on my lap. I looked around and listened. “Did the three older kids leave already?” 
You started to chuckle. “Yes, our three eldest left already to go out.” You rested your arm on the back of the couch and laid your chin to your hand. The other reaching over to fix Luke’s tag coming out from his shirt. “They asked if we wanted to join again.”
I laughed and laid back as I watched the boys play with each other’s hands. “They just miss being with us, is all.” Brad put his fingers in my mouth. I gasped and munched on them gently as he started to laugh causing Luke to laugh too. “You boys are so big. Stop growing already.” I grabbed their little hands and gave each of them a kiss. 
I leaned over and placed a kiss on Leia’s head and on your cheek. “I’m gonna go and clean up, sweetheart. Get out of this uniform.” I smiled at you as you nodded. I placed the boys back up against their pillows and headed up stairs. 
———-
As I finished cleaning up, I looked at the time again. 2030. The time was flying by. I headed back down stairs in some sweats and a white t-shirt. You were getting dinner ready for us. I came into the kitchen and grabbed you from behind. I placed kisses on your neck. “What you making, mama?” I placed my chin on your head. 
You giggled. “Leia wanted some Mac and Cheese so I’m making that, along with some chicken and rice.”
I took a deep breath in and smiled. “That is my favorite. Need any help?” 
You turned around in my arms and shook your head. “I’m okay. But you can try and feed the boys their rice cereal today.” You poked my chest and smiled. 
I nodded. “Yes ma’am.” I gave you a kiss before going to get the boys. I put their high chairs next to each other and went to get the boys. I placed each of them into a chair and put on their silicon bibs that had a food catch. I gave each of them a toy to play with while I got their food ready. 
“Leia Rey, come and get your Mac and Cheese, babe.” You had a bowl ready for Leia. She ran over and grabbed it and then went to go and take a seat with her brothers. 
I went into the fridge and grabbed one of their bottles that had your milk in it. I poured the whole bottle into a bowl and went to the pantry to grab the tub of the boys rice cereal. I brought it back out and started to scoop some to put into the bowl of milk. Then I mixed it and nuked it in the micro for 45 seconds. When it came out i tested it to make sure it wasn’t too hot for the boys. 
“Alright boys. Let’s try today. Can you both eat this for daddy?” I said in the mushiest baby voice I had, causing them to both laugh. I placed the bowl onto the table and sat in a chair in front of the both of them. “Baby brother first.” I scooped some with he spoon and blew on it. 
“Here we go Bradley boy. Open wide, babas. Here comes the fighter jet.” I started to mimic the noise. My mouth mimicked the movements little Brad’s mouth made. He spit a little bit up but i scooped it and put it back in his mouth. My eyes went wide. 
“Babe! babe! He ate it! Bradley had his first dose of solid food!” I gasped and you ran over. “Now Lukey-Bear. Open up big boy. Here comes the airplane!” I mimicked noises again and my mouth mimicked Luke’s. He ate the whole spoon in one bite.
“OH MY GOSH!!!!” You and I jumped up in unison. Our baby boys had their first dose of solid-ish food. You and I hugged and Leia ran over to join. Leia gave her brothers kisses. I kissed your forehead and wiped your tears. “They did it, babe!!”
———-
2330. This was the latest all of us had stayed up in a long while. We were all practically falling asleep on the couch waiting. Leia was cuddled up on you, the boys both cuddled into my chest. Our kids were fast asleep. You and I were in and out of sleep as we patiently waited for the TV to show the ball drop. Frozen was playing on the TV as we all fell asleep. 
———-
Phoenix’s POV
Austin, Hangman, and I stumbled back into the house around 0115. We were laughing because Hangman had just tripped up the drive way and fell face first into the front patio. Austin and I couldn’t breathe as he started to get up. We opened the front door shushing each other so we wouldn’t be loud. 
I grabbed Hangman by one arm and Austin grabbed the other. We held him up because he was laughing so hard from falling. 
“I feel like such a dumb ass! I hope the neighbors didn’t see that!” He barely whispered through his laughs. 
We all walked over to the living area and the lights were still on. Austin went and grabbed us all water from the fridge. Hangman and I saw that The Little Mermaid was playing on the TV. Then we looked down on the couch and saw all 6 of you sleeping on the couch together. Leia cuddled up with you. Bradley with the boys cuddled up on his chest. Gunner in the middle of Bradley and you.
I gasped. “Oh my gosh! How cute!” I said in a whisper. Austin came over to see what the commotion was about. 
“That is so precious. They fell asleep before the New year.” He handed us our waters. 
I snapped a picture and went to grab blankets. We placed blankets onto all of you and gave everyone kisses. “Good night you guys. Happy New Year. See you all in the morning.” 
Jake turned the TV off and left a couple of lights on for you all. The three of us went upstairs to change and get ready for bed. The three of us opted to stay downstairs with you all and sleep, just in case if you guys needed the help. 
———-
Your POV
The next morning you woke up and saw you all had fallen asleep on the couch. You stretched slightly and sat up. You saw Jake, Nat, and Austin sleeping on the floor in front of you. you started to laugh. You laid Leia down on the couch and covered her with the blanket. Bradley heard you stirring around and he woke up. He looked around and looked at you. 
“Did we fall asleep down here?” He was shocked. 
You nodded and laughed. “Yes we did. And before the new year.” 
Bradley started to chuckled. “Of course, we did, sweetheart.” He puckered his lips and you went to give him a kiss. “Happy New Year, my love. And the many more to come. I can’t wait to see what this year holds for us. I love you, forever, honey.” He smiled up at you as he continued to hold the boys on his chest.
“Happy New Year, Bradley. I love you, always.”

It had been a couple of more months of getting used to new schedules and adjusting to life. The first Christmas with the boys was new. It was also hard to buy gifts for them because they were constantly growing and becoming interested in something new every week.
———-
Christmas
You and Nat were at the store Christmas shopping for gifts while the men stayed at home with the kiddies. 
“Do you think at least one of us should have stayed back with them to help?” Nat asked as you both sat down to take a break from shopping. 
You thought about it for a second and then shook your head. “No they’ll be fine. Plus we just have a couple of more things to grab and then we can go home while they go out.” You took a deep breath in. “So lets enjoy it.” 
You both laughed and nodded. By the time you were finished you and Nat were more than ready to leave the crowded malls and head home. On the way home you bot sang to Christmas music and danced in the car. 
When you got home, Bradley was putting the boys down for a nap and Austin was putting a jacket on Leia. 
“Where is she going?” You gave Leia a kiss on her cheek. 
“I’m going to go get presents with daddy!” Leia smiled as she slipped her shoes on.
Bradley came over and placed a kiss on your cheek. “The boys are down for a nap, house is clean, and snacks are ready for you and Nix on the counter.” 
You and Nat looked at each other in shock. “Okay… Thank you babe.” You kissed his cheek as he threw his jacket on and they all left.
Nat put the bags down and took her coat off. “Definitely not what I expected to come home to.” She laughed and unpacked the bags. 
You looked around suspicious. “No. Seriously…” You went to give the boys kisses. They were knocked out. 
Nat grabbed some tea for you both and a couple of snacks the guys left behind for you both. “Ready to wrap mama?”
“Yes! Let’s get this done before they wake up and the guys and Leia get home.”
———-
Bradley’s POV 
After we all piled into my truck we were off to grab presents for everyone. Hangman and Austin headed in together to go to different stores to grab gifts. I picked up Leia and gave her a piggy back ride as we headed in to get our gift for you. 
Leia pointed to the little store. “Daddy! There!” 
I bounced a little bit. “Good eye, baby girl. Away we go!” I made plane swooshing noises and bee-lined for the store. She giggled and held onto me tighter. Right when we approached the store, I let her down. 
She ran in and grabbed your first gift. “Daddy! They have it!” She held it above her head and ran over to me. 
“Good job, my little co-pilot. Thank god you’re here. It would have taken daddy forever to find this.” I gave her a kiss on the cheek and picked her up as we made our way to the cash register. 
“Where to next, sir?” Leia climbed around me and clung onto my back again as she held the bag. 
“The sweater now?” I looked back at her.  She nodded against me. 
“Sweater is it! Go daddy!!” She pointed and we headed to the next store. 
As we walked to the next store, I could hear Leia singing to the Christmas music that was playing around the mall. 
-Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas by Frank Sinatra playing-
“Have yourself a merry little Christmas… Make the yuletide gay…from now on, our troubles will be miles away.” 
I smiled and looked over my shoulder. “Don’t be shy, babe. Sing louder so daddy can hear and sing too.” 
“Daddy!” She hid into the crook of my neck. She got shy. 
“Your voice is beautiful, babe!” She shook her head into the back of my neck. I laughed. So I started singing too. 
“Throughout the years, we all will be together… if the fates allow…”
I felt her head peak back out. “Hang a shining star upon the highest bough…”
I gave her a little nudge and together we sung loudly. “And have yourself a marry little christmas now.” 
She rested her chin on my shoulder and leaned her head into the side of mine. We made it to the next store. It took us a while to find the sweater you’ve been wanting, but we eventually found it. Leia hopped back onto my back and we were off to the last store for your last gift.
Leia was humming Happy Xmas by John Lennon and Yoko Ono. She started to sing it softly. 
“A very merry christmas. And a happy new year. Lets hope its a good one. Without any fear.”
And I chimed in. “So this is Christmas. And what have we done?”
She gave a little harmony. “Waaaarrr is overrrrr.” “Andddd if you want ittt.” 
I chuckled as we continued to harmonize together, while navigating through the crowds. After we finished getting your gifts we made a pit stop to the truck to unload and we went back in to the madness to get everyone else’s gifts. 
————-
The next morning, everyone had their gifts all under the star wars themed christmas tree. It was over flowing with gifts. This year it would just be us, plus Nix, Seresin, and Austin. All the adults were up early to get everything set up for the kids. Of course, it was going to be another low-key, cozy holiday in. Everyone had matching PJs to lounge in all day. 
All the adults got everything ready for the kids, more or less Leia. Phoenix took a bite of the cookies that were left out. Hangman drank all the milk. Austin took a bite out of the side of a carrot. Then you and I made some boot prints in snow from the sliding door. 
You sprinkled some flour on the floor and I put on my boots to walk through it. We wanted to give Leia a fun experience for Christmas. Once we all finished we stood around the counter drinking hot cocoa. 
“We forgot one more thing to add to the cookies to make it look for real that Santa was here.” Phoenix walked up to Hangman and yanked one of his hairs out. 
“OW Trace, what the hell?” Hangman grabbed his head and looked at her with an annoyed face. We all started to laugh. 
“Have to have more proof that he was here. A piece of hair will do. Thanks for your cooperation, Bagman.” She placed the hair on the tray by the cookies. 
Hangman was rubbing his head and winced, “You’re lucky that we are doing this for Leia and the boys. I’d do anything for them.” He walked up the stairs to go change into his PJs.
I shook my head and laughed at Phoenix. “Trace, you are definitely something else. but thanks for that.” I raised my hot cocoa to her and then took a sip of it. “Now with that done. I think we should all go get changed. Y/n and I are going to go and get the kids up. 
We all headed upstairs and got ready to spend some time together and to watch the kids open presents. 
———-
The first ones back down stairs were Phoenix and Austin. They sat on the couch and helped put Gunner into his Pjs. 
“Merry Christmas!!!” Leia ran down the stairs with her arms up and yelling. She jumped onto the couch to hug Phoenix and Austin. 
You and I were close behind with the boys in our arms. Baby Brad was still asleep, but Luke was wide awake and giggling in my arms. We were all in our matching elves' pajamas. You and I sat on the couches with the boys fixing their little elf hats. 
“Seresin, hurry the hell up. You’re always first to leave, but last to come back!” I yelled up stairs for him to hurry and come down. 
“I’m Coming!” We could all hear him shuffling up stairs. 
I gave Luke to Phoenix and brought Leia around the house as we waited for Hangman to come down. “Look, sweetheart. Santa was here last night. He ate your cookies you left out and even drank all your milk!” 
Leia looked at all the little bits of evidence with joy and shock. “Daddy! There is even a hair here!!” Leia picked up the hair that was left by the cookie. 
I looked over at Phoenix and saw her and Austin fist bumping over the success of yanking Hangman’s hair out. 
“Can we keep it, daddy?” She looked up at me holding the hair in between her fingers. 
I laughed and nodded. “We sure can, sweetheart.” 
Leia set the hair down carefully on the plate again and saw the trail of boot marks by the sliding door. “DADDY! He came in through the sliding door!” She ran over by the door and looked at the foot prints, “Look!” She was jumping excitedly as she was pointing to the boot marks in the ‘snow.’
I gasped and went to go examine the sight. “He left a mess!”
Leia started to laugh, “We can clean it up after! He was probably in a hurry!” 
I knelt down and kissed her cheek, “I’m sure he was, baby.” I picked her up and brought her back over to the couch. 
“Leia, did you see that the reindeer ate the carrot you left for them?” Austin pointed over to the carrot pile Leia left out the night before. 
She ran over to the carrots and examined them. She held one over her head to show all of us. “OH MY GOSH! THEY DID! I HOPE IT WAS RUDOLPH!” She screamed in excitement and ran back and jumped into my lap. “Do we get to open presents now, daddy?” She smiled up at me. 
I nodded as I wrapped my arms around her. “Yes, but we have to wait for your uncle Jake. He’s still changing into his elf Pjs… and TAKING FOREVER.” I looked up to the steps. “Come on man! Your niece wants to open her presents!” 
Then with that we heard some steps coming down the stairs. We all turned to a sight. 
“HOLY NIGHT.” I furrowed my brows. 
Phoenix started to laugh as she saw hangman come down from the stairs. “I thought we were all wearing elf pajamas??” 
I rolled my eyes. “We were, but I can see Seresin always has a change of plans.” 
You turned away and started to laugh loudly. hangman came down in a Santa suit. But not any Santa suit. THE Santa suit. It had ripped sleeves and an exposed chest. He wore a Santa hat and a beard to finish the ensemble. 
“Holy Sexy Santa.” Austin’s eyes went wide and he looked at Phoenix confused. She started to laugh hard at his comment. 
“HO. HO. HO. Merry Christmas, Bradshaw family!” He came down waving and was holding a present. 
“UNCCLE JAAAKEY!” Leia was pointing and laughing at hangman. She ran to him and gave him a hug. “Is that present for me, uncle Santa?” 
“Oh no, my vapor girl. This is for your dad.” He looked at me as he smiled deviously through the beard. He came over to me as he held the suspicious box in front of him. 
He leaned down to me and whispered, “It’s my cock in a box.” 
Phoenix, you, and Austin started to laugh hard when they heard him. I pinched the bridge of my nose and shook my head. 
“Uncle jakey, why did you get daddy a rooster in a box?”
Hangman blurted out laughing and patted Leia on the head. “Your daddy’s call sign is rooster. It’s only fitting.” 
I rolled my eyes again and shut them as i shook my head. I buried my face into my hands and let out a sigh. I was trying so hard to hold back my laughter. 
“IM JOKING BRADSHAW.” Hangman set the present down under the tree and took a seat across from me with Leia. “It’s for the boys. RELAX.”
I looked at him with wide eyes. “THATS EVEN WORSE.”
He threw his head back and then looked at me annoyed. “Let’s not start.” He started to laugh as i threw a pillow at him. “Alright, with that… Let’s open presents!” 
———-
Your POV
Jake was the first one to grab his gifts and handed them out. He handed Austin and Phoenix theirs, then Bradley and Leia, and then gave you yours and gave you one for each of the boys. 
“I hope y’all like everything I’ve got you. And if you don’t, I kept receipts.” He sat back down on the couch by Austin and put his arm up and over around him on the couch. “Well, everyone open ‘em up.” He smiled at all of you.
Nat opened hers and Jake had got her a basket full of goodies. “Oh my gosh, Bagman! I love it!” She pulled out everything one by one, excited with everything she was pulling out. 
“Glad you like it Trace.” He patted Austin’s shoulder, "Now you big man.”
Austin opened his gift, “Jake! Aww man no this is too much. This looks expensive, man.”
Jake shook his head and patted his back. “I saw that flannel and immediately thought of you, dude.”
“Well, thank you. But it’s really so much.” He held it up and looked at the flannel jacket surprised. 
“No problem, Bro.” He looked over at all of you. “Bradshaws, don’t keep me waitin.” He started to laugh as he waited for the 6 of you to open your gifts. He went over and sat by your legs to help you open the boys gift and Gunner’s.
Jake got you and Leia baskets full of stuff similar to Nat’s. You and Leia were excited as you looked through them. 
“Wow, thanks, Jake!” You placed your hand on his shoulder and he patted your hand. 
“Thank you Uncle Jakey!” Leia jumped into his arms as he laughed and kissed her head. 
“For Gunner…” He pulled out three Star Wars toys and threw them at him. Gunner went crazy over them and started to play with them. 
Bradley opened his gift, “Holy Shit, Seresin…” He held up a brown carhart jacket. “This is fucking sweet.” Bradley looked at it all around. “What the hell, dude!” He shoved Jake as they laughed. “Thank you, man. Holy shit.”
Jake laughed, “I saw that and immediately thought of you too.” Jake opened up the gift for the boys. “And now for the Bradshaw boys… the best for last!” He held up the two bibs. “DRINKING BUDDIES!” 
Everyone started to laugh. Jake placed them on the boys and gave them both kisses. Bradley grabbed baby Brad and Jake grabbed Luke. They made them high-five and place them on the floor to sit in front of them. They were able to sit up on their own but just in case either of them fell back there was someone behind them to catch them. 
Up next was Nat. She handed everyone her gifts. She gave the boys’ gift to Bradley to open this time. 
Austin went first, she got him some new shirts. Some long-sleeved ribbed shirts and some short-sleeved collared ribbed shirts. “Aww, babe. I love these! Thank you!” He kissed her cheek and looked at his clothes amazed. 
“I think you would looked so cute in those!” She grabbed one and held it against him. Everyone agreed. Especially the boys. Bradley and Jake kept whistling at him and he started to blush.
Jake opened up his gift next. “Ohhh heeeyyy!!!!! This is nooooiiiiiiiccceeee!” Jake held up his button-up shirt to show everyone. He held it against himself. “Am I as hot as Austin, yet?” He closed his eyes and smiled big while Austin and Bradley whistled at him. 
Bradley pinched Jake’s chest, “Quit it, my wife is right there. She’s gonna get jealous.” They both started to laugh. 
“Damn, thanks Trace! I love it!” Jake started to smell the shirt. 
Nat and Bradley looked at him weird. “Why do you always have to smell everything new you get?” Nat raised a brow at him. 
Jake shrugged. “Tradition? I don’t know?”
Up next was Bradley. He ripped apart the bag. Everyone looked at him with wide eyes as his gift flew up into the air and landed in front of him and little Brad.
“Well shit. I hope it’s not broken…” Phoenix started to laugh. 
Bradley grabbed it and opened up the toiletry bag. “HOLY SHIT! NO WAY! PHE! THANK YOU!” 
He showed everyone what was inside. It was a beard and mustache grooming kit. “I needed a new one! Thank you!”
Nat laughed and shot him her fist. They fist bumped. “Your stache is out of regs. You needed a new one!” Bradley started to laugh as he played with his mustache. 
Leia started to open her huge box carefully. “I don’t want to break it, Aunt Nat..” Leia ripped the wrapping paper delicately. 
Nat started to laugh, “Vapor girl, its okay yours won’t break. I promise.” She shot her a thumbs up. 
“OKAY!” Leia started to rip the paper crazily as she was throwing it everywhere. She opened the big box and gasped. “OH MY GAAAAHHDD!” She yanked out the first bean bag. “I LOVE THESE!!!” She pulled out all the Star Wars-themed bean bags. “I WANNA PUT THEM EVERYWHERE! THANKS AUNT NAT!” Leia ran and jumped on Nat and covered her in kisses. 
“Anything for my Vapor girl.” She pushed Leia’s hair out of her face and gave her a kiss on the cheek. 
Austin opened Gunner’s gift for him. It was a new doggy bed. He brought all his toys to it and laid in it with them. 
You opened your gift from Nat. It was a new necklace. You pulled it from the box and looked at it. It had all of your initials on it. “Oh my gosh! I love this so much! Thank you, Nat!” You looked at each letter, “B,L,L,B,G and a heart!” You held it to your chest and started to tear up. 
Nat started to tear up too, “I am so happy you love it!!” 
Last were the boys. “The best for last!” Nat echoed Jake. Bradley started to open the boys gift. It was in a little basket. He opened the basket and inside were little outfits and goodies for the boys. 
“AWH! These are the cutest things ever, Trace!” Bradley held up the box to show you. 
“Oh my gosh! That is so sweet!!!” You cooed over the box. 
Jake and Bradley made the boys blow kisses to their Aunt Nat and gave them little baby voices. “Thank you Aunt, Nix!”
She smiled and blew kisses back to them. “There is one more!” 
Bradly grabbed the other box and helped little Brad open it, inside was a Star Wars mood light. 
“DUDE! This is so cool! I want this in my room!” Bradley held it up to show everyone. 
“Thank you so much, Trace. These are so nice!” 
Austin was next to grab his gifts and hand them out. “I hope y’all like them. I kinda suck at gifts.” He started to chuckle as he sat back down on the couch. 
Nat started with her gift. She opened it up and pulled it out. She started to laugh and held it against her chest. “Aus, you got me a carhart jacket too!?” She reached over and placed her hand behind his head and pulled him in for a kiss. “Thank you, I love it so much!”
Austin smiled. “Do you actually like it? I remember you told me a long time ago that you’ve always wanted one. And I saw your closet and you still didnt have one until now.” He smiled at her. 
She cooed over his gesture and gave him another kiss. “I love it even more, Aus. Thank you.” 
Jake shook his box. “Did I get one too? So I can join the crew?” He laughed and opened his box. “Oh wait a minute! This is even better!” He held up the toiletry bag and opened it. “OH MAN!” He started to laugh. “Thank you, man! I love this! And also really needed this!” He started to pull out hair products. 
“You take great care of your hair and thought I could get you some more stuff. You looked like you were getting low in the bathroom.” Austin fist-bumped Jake. 
“This man is fucking damn smart. He was snooping around our stuff and got us what we needed!” Jake started to laugh. “Thank you so much dude!” 
Austin gave him a wink and a thumbs up. Next was Leia. “Leia Rey, why don’t you open yours next, sweetheart.” He pinched Leia’s cheek and smiled.
Leia started to open her gift. She squealed and pulled it out of the box. “ITS A ROOSTER!!!” She held the squishmallow above her head. “THANK YOU THANK YOU AUSTIE!” She gave him a kiss and gave her new toy a big hug. 
He pushed Leia’s curls from her forehead and gave it a kiss. “You’re welcome, my sweet girl.”
Austin pulled out a collar from behind him. “I didn’t get to wrap it, but I got this for Gunner.” He got off the couch ad went over to Gunner in his bed and placed a new collar around his neck. “There ya go bud.” He gave his head a few scratches before returning to the couch. 
You opened your next It was a pretty heavy box. “Gosh what is this, Austin?” You started to unwrap it. 
“I thought your house could use one. Here in Hawaii and back home in San Diego.” He smiled as you opened your gift.
“Oh my goodness…” You froze. It was a record player. “Austin….” 
Everyone was shocked. “HOLY SHIT THAAT IS NICE, BABE!” 
Nat smiled and handed you another gift. “We both got this for you and Rooster.”
You started to open it. It was a custom vinyl with a picture of you and Bradley on it from your wedding. The vinyl was named “The Bradshaws.” 
“It has music on there that you and Bradley love. From songs you would recommend to each other, songs you dance around to in the house or even out places, and your wedding song.”
You started to cry. “You guys… This is beautiful. Thank you so much!” You got up and went to hug the both of them. “I love this so much. Oh my gosh.” On your way back you gave Bradley a kiss. 
“I’m glad you love it, Darlin. Natasha really helped me out with it. You should really thank her.” He started to laugh. 
Bradley opened the gift for the Boys. “Look at these!” He started to laugh. They were matching onesies that said, “Bro’s for life.” Bradley gave one to Jake to hold against Luke. “Dude they are gonna wear these every day. These are too good. Along with the drinking buddies bibs!” Bradley smiled and held it against little Brad. “Thank you, Uncle Austin.” Bradley made Little Brad wave to him. 
Austin put the tip of his fingers on his lips as he used his other hand to wave to the boys. “I love you, boys.” 
Bradley was last. He opened his gift from Austin and his eyes went wide. “This man has good ass taste.” He held up his sweater, “This looks nice and cozy, man! Thank you!” He reached his hand out for Austin and they interlocked fingers as Bradley shook his hand to show his thanks. 
“I think you would look handsome as hell in that, Bradley.” Austin started to laugh. 
“Oh hell no. I’m right here, Austin.” Jake looked at Austin with furrowed brows. 
Bradley held his hands up to them both. “There is enough daddy to go around. Relax.”
Everyone started to laugh and Nat made a disgusted face. “I’ll Pass.” Everyone started to laugh harder. 
Up next were the gifts that Bradley, You, Leia, the boys, and Gunner got for everyone. Leia handed out the gifts. 
“Uncle Jakey first!” She clapped her hands in excitement. 
“We all get two gifts??” He said excitedly. He started to open the first one. He opened it up and pulled it out. He started to laugh loudly. “I’M A PART OF THE CREW! A CARHART!” He started to laugh. “This one is different, but at least I get to stand out from you nerds.” He put it down and gave all of you hugs and kisses. “Thank you! I love it!” 
Bradley shook his head. “You’re welcome, Bagman. Now opened the other one.” 
Jake started to open the second gift. He bursted into laughter even louder this time. “OH SHIT! NO WAY!” He held up another carhart, “NOW I AM REALLY PART OF THE CREW!” He held up a navy blue jacket that was in the same fit as Bradley’s and Nat’s. “God I love it! Thank you!” He couldn’t stop laughing. 
“Aunt Nix now!!” Leia bounced up and down. 
Nat started to open her first gift. She pulled out a flannel jacket. “Oh this is so cute!!” She was feeling its fabric, “Y/n definitely picked this out.” 
Bradley and you started to laugh. “She most definitely did. She picked it up and was like ‘oh babe! This is totally something Nat would wear!’ And how could I not agree because it definitely is something you’d wear.” 
Nat started to laugh. “I love it!” 
Leia gave Nat her second present. “Now this one!” She watched excitedly as Nat started to unwrap the box. 
“Hey! This one is really nice too!” She pulled out an oversized jean jacket. “This is so cozy and cute!”
Leia jumped up and clapped. “I picked that one for you Aunt Nat! Do you like it!?” She waited excitedly for Nat’s answer. 
“Oh my Leia girl, I love it even more now. Thank you so much, pretty girl.” Nat pulled Leia to her and gave her a kiss on her cheek. “You sure know how to pick good clothes. You must get that from you momma.” She looked over at you and winked. 
“I guess that’s my cue.” Austin laughed and opened his first girl. He pulled out a nice quarter-zip sweater. “You guys just really know my taste don’t ya? This looks comfy!” He felt the inside of the sweater. “Oh, this is so soft! Thank you guys!” 
“Next one Austie!!” Leia pointed to his last gift. 
He opened it and inside was a white sweater. “Oh man, I can layer these! This sweater is so nice! Thank you so much!”
Bradley started to laugh. “I like how we all got each other clothes that we cannot wear while living here because we will sweat so much.”
Everyone started laughing. “We will be ready for cold California when we all get back, but even then San Diego will start warming up again when we are all back.” Jake started to laugh. 
“Okay now you all open your gifts!” Phoenix adjusted in her spot as she got ready to watch all of you exchange gifts and open them.
You started and handed all your gifts out to them. Leia and Bradley opened the gifts for the boys. You got little Bradley and Luke baby blankets. Luke’s was Darth Vader and Brad’s was Grogu. 
“Here you go babies. From momma!” Leia handed each of her brother’s their blankets and they instantly started to play with them. “I think they like them momma!” 
Leia was next. She opened her gift and pulled out a little box. “Momma, what is it?” She looked at it curiously. 
“Open it, babe.” You smiled at her. 
She opened the box and saw a little necklace with a teddy bear on it. “Oh my gosh! It is so cute, momma!” She held it up to show everyone. “Daddy, can you put it on me?” Bradley put it on her neck and you came down next to her. 
“The cool thing about it Leia is that I have one that goes with it.” You showed her yours that you were wearing. “Yours can fit into mine. Watch.” You grabbed your teddy bear and she grabbed hers and her little teddy bear fit right into yours. 
“Momma… I love that.”
You kissed her cheek. “Always linked, Forever loved.” 
She smiled as she looked at both your necklaces together. “Thank you, momma. I love it so much!”
Gunner was passed out in his bed so Bradley opened his gift, “Oh babe you didn’t!” He started to laugh. “You got him a doggy car seat!” He started to bust out laughing. “Now our cars back home will have 4 car seats. Holy shit.” 
Last was Bradley. He opened his gift and his eyes went wide. “OH MY GOD! YESSS!!!” He finished ripping the paper off of the big box. “A DOUBLE BABY CARRIER! I WANTED THIS SO BAD!” Everyone started to laugh. “You guys don’t understand. Once I found out we were having twins I would always send pictures to y/n when she was back home of these things. I wanted one so bad.” He yanked it out of the box and looked at it. “Now I can carry one on my back and one on my chest! SWEET!!!” 
Bradley went over to you and kissed you over and over again. “Thank you so much, baby. It’s just what I wanted!” 
Bradley and Jake started to play around with the carrier. “Oh wait before we try to put this thing together. The Kids and I have presents for momma.” He smiled over to you as him and Leia went to go and grab your gifts.
You were shocked. You weren’t expecting anything, nor did you really want anything. You already had everything you needed and wanted.
Leia handed you your first gift. They were a new pair of platform Converse. You did mention you wanted these and were shocked that they remembered. “Oh, I love them! Thank you guys!” Leia gave you your next one. You shook the box and heard rattling. Bradley looked at you with wide eyes. 
“Holy shit. Be careful, honey.” He started to laugh. 
You unwrapped and opened the box. Inside was a Stanley cup with Star Wars engravings. “HOLY CRAP!” You looked at it in amazement. “How the hell did you get this! It was so limited!” 
Bradley shook his head. “Don’t worry about it, babe. Only the best for you.” He patted Leia’s head and winked at her. Bradley handed you your next gift. 
“Oh my, there is more!” You looked at the next bag with wide eyes. You didn’t expect them to get you so many. This bag felt super light. You took out the tissue paper and inside was a teddy jacket. You screamed. “I wanted this so bad!!!” You thought back to the day you and Bradley were walking around after a date and popped into a store and saw this. You wanted to buy it right then and there but you didn’t. “Oh, thank you so much!” 
Bradley handed you another box. “You guys! This is a lot! Oh my gosh!” You opened the next gift and it was a photo collage. They were polaroids Bradley had saved over time. Some were of you and him in college. At his graduation from boot camp. Pictures with you, Mav, and Penny when you first met. Pictures with him and his parents, you and your parents. From your wedding, from the dates you went on, when Leia was born, and when the boys were born. You, Bradley, and the whole squad back home. You started to tear up. “How did you even get all of these, Brad?” You looked up at him and then back down to the collage. 
He handed little Brad to Austin and came over to you. He kissed your head as you leaned into him. “I had a lot of help, sweetheart.” You and he continued to look at it as you reminisced. “I have another gift. But this one is from all of us.”
Jake and Austin went to the garage to grab your last gift. The guys came in with a Star Wars-themed rocking chair. “OH MY GOSH!” 
You got up still holding the collage and went to go and look at it. “This is so adorable! It’ll be perfect in the boys room!” You went around and gave everyone hugs and kisses. “I love you all so much. Thank you for all of it.” You gave Bradley extra kisses. “Thank you, babe.”
He smiled at you and gave you another kiss on your nose. “Anything for you.” He held you close and kissed your head again. “I do have one more gift for you babe.” 
You looked up at him in shock. “Another gift, Bradley?” You looked at him sadly. “Brad noooo!” He laughed and pulled a little box from the inside of his waistline. “Merry Christmas, sweetheart.”
You opened the little box and inside was a ring. “Bradley… What the hell…” You gasped and couldn’t say another word. Bradley pulled it from the box and asked for your hand. “Bradley….” You started to cry. 
He took his mom’s ring off and placed it into the box. He gave the box to Jake to hold. “Bradley no!” You were trying to reach for the box and he held your hand to him. 
“You will always have my mother’s ring, sweetheart. It’s not going anywhere. I know she would have wanted me to give it to you. Mav always told me my mom left it behind for me so I could give it to the love of my life. And even though it’s such a beautiful gesture and has so much love and meaning behind it. It was a gift from my father to give to my mother to show his love for her. It will always be the symbol of love in my life for me. However, I wanted to get you one that was from me. One that I wanted to pick out specifically for you, to show you my love. A symbol of our love. Forever.” He placed the ring onto your finger and kissed it. “I love you, sweetheart, forever.”
You looked at the ring in amazement. It was definitely bigger and different from Carole’s ring. You grabbed Bradley’s face and kissed him over and over again. “You could have gotten me a ring pop and I would have taken it, Brad. This is so much!” You stated to weep. “I love you, always.” 
Leia jumped around. “Momma and daddy are getting married agaiiiin!!!” You and Bradley started to laugh as she hopped around you both. 
Everyone came to look at the ring. “Jesus that is one beautiful ring!” Nat grabbed your hand and looked at your new ring. “It’s mesmerizing! Look at it, Aus.” She showed your hand to him. 
Austin picked up little Brad and came over. “My oh My. That is so nice. Carole’s ring is just as beautiful, but man this one has it’s own beauty to it.” He patted Bradley’s back with his free hand. “You picked a beautiful ring, Brad.”
Bradley smiled and put his arm over Austin’s shoulders. “Thanks, bud. Anything for my girl. I feel she deserves more than that but when I saw it, I thought it’s as beautiful as her.” Bradley smiled up at you as you blushed. 
Jake came to look at your ring as he held Luke against his hip. “DAMN ROOSTER! That is a METEOR.” He showed your hand to Luke. “Look buddy. College tuition.” 
Nat slapped Jake’s shoulder. “Bagman do you always have to ruin everything. Gosh!” She shook her head and grabbed Luke from his arms. 
Jake started to laugh as he kissed your temple. “I am only kidding, y/n. It’s such a beautiful ring. Bradshaw sure knows how to pick them. So pretty, honey. You make the ring look even better!” He wrapped his arm over your shoulder and patted them. 
Bradley started to laugh. “You are definitely something else, Seresin.” Bradley shook his head and snickered at him. 
“Now. Real question. Where is my ring, Rooster boy?” Jake raised his brows at Bradley.

It had been a couple of more months of getting used to new schedules and adjusting to life. The first Christmas with the boys was new. It was also hard to buy gifts for them because they were constantly growing and becoming interested in something new every week.
———-
Christmas
You and Nat were at the store Christmas shopping for gifts while the men stayed at home with the kiddies. 
“Do you think at least one of us should have stayed back with them to help?” Nat asked as you both sat down to take a break from shopping. 
You thought about it for a second and then shook your head. “No they’ll be fine. Plus we just have a couple of more things to grab and then we can go home while they go out.” You took a deep breath in. “So lets enjoy it.” 
You both laughed and nodded. By the time you were finished you and Nat were more than ready to leave the crowded malls and head home. On the way home you bot sang to Christmas music and danced in the car. 
When you got home, Bradley was putting the boys down for a nap and Austin was putting a jacket on Leia. 
“Where is she going?” You gave Leia a kiss on her cheek. 
“I’m going to go get presents with daddy!” Leia smiled as she slipped her shoes on.
Bradley came over and placed a kiss on your cheek. “The boys are down for a nap, house is clean, and snacks are ready for you and Nix on the counter.” 
You and Nat looked at each other in shock. “Okay… Thank you babe.” You kissed his cheek as he threw his jacket on and they all left.
Nat put the bags down and took her coat off. “Definitely not what I expected to come home to.” She laughed and unpacked the bags. 
You looked around suspicious. “No. Seriously…” You went to give the boys kisses. They were knocked out. 
Nat grabbed some tea for you both and a couple of snacks the guys left behind for you both. “Ready to wrap mama?”
“Yes! Let’s get this done before they wake up and the guys and Leia get home.”
———-
Bradley’s POV 
After we all piled into my truck we were off to grab presents for everyone. Hangman and Austin headed in together to go to different stores to grab gifts. I picked up Leia and gave her a piggy back ride as we headed in to get our gift for you. 
Leia pointed to the little store. “Daddy! There!” 
I bounced a little bit. “Good eye, baby girl. Away we go!” I made plane swooshing noises and bee-lined for the store. She giggled and held onto me tighter. Right when we approached the store, I let her down. 
She ran in and grabbed your first gift. “Daddy! They have it!” She held it above her head and ran over to me. 
“Good job, my little co-pilot. Thank god you’re here. It would have taken daddy forever to find this.” I gave her a kiss on the cheek and picked her up as we made our way to the cash register. 
“Where to next, sir?” Leia climbed around me and clung onto my back again as she held the bag. 
“The sweater now?” I looked back at her.  She nodded against me. 
“Sweater is it! Go daddy!!” She pointed and we headed to the next store. 
As we walked to the next store, I could hear Leia singing to the Christmas music that was playing around the mall. 
-Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas by Frank Sinatra playing-
“Have yourself a merry little Christmas… Make the yuletide gay…from now on, our troubles will be miles away.” 
I smiled and looked over my shoulder. “Don’t be shy, babe. Sing louder so daddy can hear and sing too.” 
“Daddy!” She hid into the crook of my neck. She got shy. 
“Your voice is beautiful, babe!” She shook her head into the back of my neck. I laughed. So I started singing too. 
“Throughout the years, we all will be together… if the fates allow…”
I felt her head peak back out. “Hang a shining star upon the highest bough…”
I gave her a little nudge and together we sung loudly. “And have yourself a marry little christmas now.” 
She rested her chin on my shoulder and leaned her head into the side of mine. We made it to the next store. It took us a while to find the sweater you’ve been wanting, but we eventually found it. Leia hopped back onto my back and we were off to the last store for your last gift.
Leia was humming Happy Xmas by John Lennon and Yoko Ono. She started to sing it softly. 
“A very merry christmas. And a happy new year. Lets hope its a good one. Without any fear.”
And I chimed in. “So this is Christmas. And what have we done?”
She gave a little harmony. “Waaaarrr is overrrrr.” “Andddd if you want ittt.” 
I chuckled as we continued to harmonize together, while navigating through the crowds. After we finished getting your gifts we made a pit stop to the truck to unload and we went back in to the madness to get everyone else’s gifts. 
————-
The next morning, everyone had their gifts all under the star wars themed christmas tree. It was over flowing with gifts. This year it would just be us, plus Nix, Seresin, and Austin. All the adults were up early to get everything set up for the kids. Of course, it was going to be another low-key, cozy holiday in. Everyone had matching PJs to lounge in all day. 
All the adults got everything ready for the kids, more or less Leia. Phoenix took a bite of the cookies that were left out. Hangman drank all the milk. Austin took a bite out of the side of a carrot. Then you and I made some boot prints in snow from the sliding door. 
You sprinkled some flour on the floor and I put on my boots to walk through it. We wanted to give Leia a fun experience for Christmas. Once we all finished we stood around the counter drinking hot cocoa. 
“We forgot one more thing to add to the cookies to make it look for real that Santa was here.” Phoenix walked up to Hangman and yanked one of his hairs out. 
“OW Trace, what the hell?” Hangman grabbed his head and looked at her with an annoyed face. We all started to laugh. 
“Have to have more proof that he was here. A piece of hair will do. Thanks for your cooperation, Bagman.” She placed the hair on the tray by the cookies. 
Hangman was rubbing his head and winced, “You’re lucky that we are doing this for Leia and the boys. I’d do anything for them.” He walked up the stairs to go change into his PJs.
I shook my head and laughed at Phoenix. “Trace, you are definitely something else. but thanks for that.” I raised my hot cocoa to her and then took a sip of it. “Now with that done. I think we should all go get changed. Y/n and I are going to go and get the kids up. 
We all headed upstairs and got ready to spend some time together and to watch the kids open presents. 
———-
The first ones back down stairs were Phoenix and Austin. They sat on the couch and helped put Gunner into his Pjs. 
“Merry Christmas!!!” Leia ran down the stairs with her arms up and yelling. She jumped onto the couch to hug Phoenix and Austin. 
You and I were close behind with the boys in our arms. Baby Brad was still asleep, but Luke was wide awake and giggling in my arms. We were all in our matching elves' pajamas. You and I sat on the couches with the boys fixing their little elf hats. 
“Seresin, hurry the hell up. You’re always first to leave, but last to come back!” I yelled up stairs for him to hurry and come down. 
“I’m Coming!” We could all hear him shuffling up stairs. 
I gave Luke to Phoenix and brought Leia around the house as we waited for Hangman to come down. “Look, sweetheart. Santa was here last night. He ate your cookies you left out and even drank all your milk!” 
Leia looked at all the little bits of evidence with joy and shock. “Daddy! There is even a hair here!!” Leia picked up the hair that was left by the cookie. 
I looked over at Phoenix and saw her and Austin fist bumping over the success of yanking Hangman’s hair out. 
“Can we keep it, daddy?” She looked up at me holding the hair in between her fingers. 
I laughed and nodded. “We sure can, sweetheart.” 
Leia set the hair down carefully on the plate again and saw the trail of boot marks by the sliding door. “DADDY! He came in through the sliding door!” She ran over by the door and looked at the foot prints, “Look!” She was jumping excitedly as she was pointing to the boot marks in the ‘snow.’
I gasped and went to go examine the sight. “He left a mess!”
Leia started to laugh, “We can clean it up after! He was probably in a hurry!” 
I knelt down and kissed her cheek, “I’m sure he was, baby.” I picked her up and brought her back over to the couch. 
“Leia, did you see that the reindeer ate the carrot you left for them?” Austin pointed over to the carrot pile Leia left out the night before. 
She ran over to the carrots and examined them. She held one over her head to show all of us. “OH MY GOSH! THEY DID! I HOPE IT WAS RUDOLPH!” She screamed in excitement and ran back and jumped into my lap. “Do we get to open presents now, daddy?” She smiled up at me. 
I nodded as I wrapped my arms around her. “Yes, but we have to wait for your uncle Jake. He’s still changing into his elf Pjs… and TAKING FOREVER.” I looked up to the steps. “Come on man! Your niece wants to open her presents!” 
Then with that we heard some steps coming down the stairs. We all turned to a sight. 
“HOLY NIGHT.” I furrowed my brows. 
Phoenix started to laugh as she saw hangman come down from the stairs. “I thought we were all wearing elf pajamas??” 
I rolled my eyes. “We were, but I can see Seresin always has a change of plans.” 
You turned away and started to laugh loudly. hangman came down in a Santa suit. But not any Santa suit. THE Santa suit. It had ripped sleeves and an exposed chest. He wore a Santa hat and a beard to finish the ensemble. 
“Holy Sexy Santa.” Austin’s eyes went wide and he looked at Phoenix confused. She started to laugh hard at his comment. 
“HO. HO. HO. Merry Christmas, Bradshaw family!” He came down waving and was holding a present. 
“UNCCLE JAAAKEY!” Leia was pointing and laughing at hangman. She ran to him and gave him a hug. “Is that present for me, uncle Santa?” 
“Oh no, my vapor girl. This is for your dad.” He looked at me as he smiled deviously through the beard. He came over to me as he held the suspicious box in front of him. 
He leaned down to me and whispered, “It’s my cock in a box.” 
Phoenix, you, and Austin started to laugh hard when they heard him. I pinched the bridge of my nose and shook my head. 
“Uncle jakey, why did you get daddy a rooster in a box?”
Hangman blurted out laughing and patted Leia on the head. “Your daddy’s call sign is rooster. It’s only fitting.” 
I rolled my eyes again and shut them as i shook my head. I buried my face into my hands and let out a sigh. I was trying so hard to hold back my laughter. 
“IM JOKING BRADSHAW.” Hangman set the present down under the tree and took a seat across from me with Leia. “It’s for the boys. RELAX.”
I looked at him with wide eyes. “THATS EVEN WORSE.”
He threw his head back and then looked at me annoyed. “Let’s not start.” He started to laugh as i threw a pillow at him. “Alright, with that… Let’s open presents!” 
———-
Your POV
Jake was the first one to grab his gifts and handed them out. He handed Austin and Phoenix theirs, then Bradley and Leia, and then gave you yours and gave you one for each of the boys. 
“I hope y’all like everything I’ve got you. And if you don’t, I kept receipts.” He sat back down on the couch by Austin and put his arm up and over around him on the couch. “Well, everyone open ‘em up.” He smiled at all of you.
Nat opened hers and Jake had got her a basket full of goodies. “Oh my gosh, Bagman! I love it!” She pulled out everything one by one, excited with everything she was pulling out. 
“Glad you like it Trace.” He patted Austin’s shoulder, "Now you big man.”
Austin opened his gift, “Jake! Aww man no this is too much. This looks expensive, man.”
Jake shook his head and patted his back. “I saw that flannel and immediately thought of you, dude.”
“Well, thank you. But it’s really so much.” He held it up and looked at the flannel jacket surprised. 
“No problem, Bro.” He looked over at all of you. “Bradshaws, don’t keep me waitin.” He started to laugh as he waited for the 6 of you to open your gifts. He went over and sat by your legs to help you open the boys gift and Gunner’s.
Jake got you and Leia baskets full of stuff similar to Nat’s. You and Leia were excited as you looked through them. 
“Wow, thanks, Jake!” You placed your hand on his shoulder and he patted your hand. 
“Thank you Uncle Jakey!” Leia jumped into his arms as he laughed and kissed her head. 
“For Gunner…” He pulled out three Star Wars toys and threw them at him. Gunner went crazy over them and started to play with them. 
Bradley opened his gift, “Holy Shit, Seresin…” He held up a brown carhart jacket. “This is fucking sweet.” Bradley looked at it all around. “What the hell, dude!” He shoved Jake as they laughed. “Thank you, man. Holy shit.”
Jake laughed, “I saw that and immediately thought of you too.” Jake opened up the gift for the boys. “And now for the Bradshaw boys… the best for last!” He held up the two bibs. “DRINKING BUDDIES!” 
Everyone started to laugh. Jake placed them on the boys and gave them both kisses. Bradley grabbed baby Brad and Jake grabbed Luke. They made them high-five and place them on the floor to sit in front of them. They were able to sit up on their own but just in case either of them fell back there was someone behind them to catch them. 
Up next was Nat. She handed everyone her gifts. She gave the boys’ gift to Bradley to open this time. 
Austin went first, she got him some new shirts. Some long-sleeved ribbed shirts and some short-sleeved collared ribbed shirts. “Aww, babe. I love these! Thank you!” He kissed her cheek and looked at his clothes amazed. 
“I think you would looked so cute in those!” She grabbed one and held it against him. Everyone agreed. Especially the boys. Bradley and Jake kept whistling at him and he started to blush.
Jake opened up his gift next. “Ohhh heeeyyy!!!!! This is nooooiiiiiiiccceeee!” Jake held up his button-up shirt to show everyone. He held it against himself. “Am I as hot as Austin, yet?” He closed his eyes and smiled big while Austin and Bradley whistled at him. 
Bradley pinched Jake’s chest, “Quit it, my wife is right there. She’s gonna get jealous.” They both started to laugh. 
“Damn, thanks Trace! I love it!” Jake started to smell the shirt. 
Nat and Bradley looked at him weird. “Why do you always have to smell everything new you get?” Nat raised a brow at him. 
Jake shrugged. “Tradition? I don’t know?”
Up next was Bradley. He ripped apart the bag. Everyone looked at him with wide eyes as his gift flew up into the air and landed in front of him and little Brad.
“Well shit. I hope it’s not broken…” Phoenix started to laugh. 
Bradley grabbed it and opened up the toiletry bag. “HOLY SHIT! NO WAY! PHE! THANK YOU!” 
He showed everyone what was inside. It was a beard and mustache grooming kit. “I needed a new one! Thank you!”
Nat laughed and shot him her fist. They fist bumped. “Your stache is out of regs. You needed a new one!” Bradley started to laugh as he played with his mustache. 
Leia started to open her huge box carefully. “I don’t want to break it, Aunt Nat..” Leia ripped the wrapping paper delicately. 
Nat started to laugh, “Vapor girl, its okay yours won’t break. I promise.” She shot her a thumbs up. 
“OKAY!” Leia started to rip the paper crazily as she was throwing it everywhere. She opened the big box and gasped. “OH MY GAAAAHHDD!” She yanked out the first bean bag. “I LOVE THESE!!!” She pulled out all the Star Wars-themed bean bags. “I WANNA PUT THEM EVERYWHERE! THANKS AUNT NAT!” Leia ran and jumped on Nat and covered her in kisses. 
“Anything for my Vapor girl.” She pushed Leia’s hair out of her face and gave her a kiss on the cheek. 
Austin opened Gunner’s gift for him. It was a new doggy bed. He brought all his toys to it and laid in it with them. 
You opened your gift from Nat. It was a new necklace. You pulled it from the box and looked at it. It had all of your initials on it. “Oh my gosh! I love this so much! Thank you, Nat!” You looked at each letter, “B,L,L,B,G and a heart!” You held it to your chest and started to tear up. 
Nat started to tear up too, “I am so happy you love it!!” 
Last were the boys. “The best for last!” Nat echoed Jake. Bradley started to open the boys gift. It was in a little basket. He opened the basket and inside were little outfits and goodies for the boys. 
“AWH! These are the cutest things ever, Trace!” Bradley held up the box to show you. 
“Oh my gosh! That is so sweet!!!” You cooed over the box. 
Jake and Bradley made the boys blow kisses to their Aunt Nat and gave them little baby voices. “Thank you Aunt, Nix!”
She smiled and blew kisses back to them. “There is one more!” 
Bradly grabbed the other box and helped little Brad open it, inside was a Star Wars mood light. 
“DUDE! This is so cool! I want this in my room!” Bradley held it up to show everyone. 
“Thank you so much, Trace. These are so nice!” 
Austin was next to grab his gifts and hand them out. “I hope y’all like them. I kinda suck at gifts.” He started to chuckle as he sat back down on the couch. 
Nat started with her gift. She opened it up and pulled it out. She started to laugh and held it against her chest. “Aus, you got me a carhart jacket too!?” She reached over and placed her hand behind his head and pulled him in for a kiss. “Thank you, I love it so much!”
Austin smiled. “Do you actually like it? I remember you told me a long time ago that you’ve always wanted one. And I saw your closet and you still didnt have one until now.” He smiled at her. 
She cooed over his gesture and gave him another kiss. “I love it even more, Aus. Thank you.” 
Jake shook his box. “Did I get one too? So I can join the crew?” He laughed and opened his box. “Oh wait a minute! This is even better!” He held up the toiletry bag and opened it. “OH MAN!” He started to laugh. “Thank you, man! I love this! And also really needed this!” He started to pull out hair products. 
“You take great care of your hair and thought I could get you some more stuff. You looked like you were getting low in the bathroom.” Austin fist-bumped Jake. 
“This man is fucking damn smart. He was snooping around our stuff and got us what we needed!” Jake started to laugh. “Thank you so much dude!” 
Austin gave him a wink and a thumbs up. Next was Leia. “Leia Rey, why don’t you open yours next, sweetheart.” He pinched Leia’s cheek and smiled.
Leia started to open her gift. She squealed and pulled it out of the box. “ITS A ROOSTER!!!” She held the squishmallow above her head. “THANK YOU THANK YOU AUSTIE!” She gave him a kiss and gave her new toy a big hug. 
He pushed Leia’s curls from her forehead and gave it a kiss. “You’re welcome, my sweet girl.”
Austin pulled out a collar from behind him. “I didn’t get to wrap it, but I got this for Gunner.” He got off the couch ad went over to Gunner in his bed and placed a new collar around his neck. “There ya go bud.” He gave his head a few scratches before returning to the couch. 
You opened your next It was a pretty heavy box. “Gosh what is this, Austin?” You started to unwrap it. 
“I thought your house could use one. Here in Hawaii and back home in San Diego.” He smiled as you opened your gift.
“Oh my goodness…” You froze. It was a record player. “Austin….” 
Everyone was shocked. “HOLY SHIT THAAT IS NICE, BABE!” 
Nat smiled and handed you another gift. “We both got this for you and Rooster.”
You started to open it. It was a custom vinyl with a picture of you and Bradley on it from your wedding. The vinyl was named “The Bradshaws.” 
“It has music on there that you and Bradley love. From songs you would recommend to each other, songs you dance around to in the house or even out places, and your wedding song.”
You started to cry. “You guys… This is beautiful. Thank you so much!” You got up and went to hug the both of them. “I love this so much. Oh my gosh.” On your way back you gave Bradley a kiss. 
“I’m glad you love it, Darlin. Natasha really helped me out with it. You should really thank her.” He started to laugh. 
Bradley opened the gift for the Boys. “Look at these!” He started to laugh. They were matching onesies that said, “Bro’s for life.” Bradley gave one to Jake to hold against Luke. “Dude they are gonna wear these every day. These are too good. Along with the drinking buddies bibs!” Bradley smiled and held it against little Brad. “Thank you, Uncle Austin.” Bradley made Little Brad wave to him. 
Austin put the tip of his fingers on his lips as he used his other hand to wave to the boys. “I love you, boys.” 
Bradley was last. He opened his gift from Austin and his eyes went wide. “This man has good ass taste.” He held up his sweater, “This looks nice and cozy, man! Thank you!” He reached his hand out for Austin and they interlocked fingers as Bradley shook his hand to show his thanks. 
“I think you would look handsome as hell in that, Bradley.” Austin started to laugh. 
“Oh hell no. I’m right here, Austin.” Jake looked at Austin with furrowed brows. 
Bradley held his hands up to them both. “There is enough daddy to go around. Relax.”
Everyone started to laugh and Nat made a disgusted face. “I’ll Pass.” Everyone started to laugh harder. 
Up next were the gifts that Bradley, You, Leia, the boys, and Gunner got for everyone. Leia handed out the gifts. 
“Uncle Jakey first!” She clapped her hands in excitement. 
“We all get two gifts??” He said excitedly. He started to open the first one. He opened it up and pulled it out. He started to laugh loudly. “I’M A PART OF THE CREW! A CARHART!” He started to laugh. “This one is different, but at least I get to stand out from you nerds.” He put it down and gave all of you hugs and kisses. “Thank you! I love it!” 
Bradley shook his head. “You’re welcome, Bagman. Now opened the other one.” 
Jake started to open the second gift. He bursted into laughter even louder this time. “OH SHIT! NO WAY!” He held up another carhart, “NOW I AM REALLY PART OF THE CREW!” He held up a navy blue jacket that was in the same fit as Bradley’s and Nat’s. “God I love it! Thank you!” He couldn’t stop laughing. 
“Aunt Nix now!!” Leia bounced up and down. 
Nat started to open her first gift. She pulled out a flannel jacket. “Oh this is so cute!!” She was feeling its fabric, “Y/n definitely picked this out.” 
Bradley and you started to laugh. “She most definitely did. She picked it up and was like ‘oh babe! This is totally something Nat would wear!’ And how could I not agree because it definitely is something you’d wear.” 
Nat started to laugh. “I love it!” 
Leia gave Nat her second present. “Now this one!” She watched excitedly as Nat started to unwrap the box. 
“Hey! This one is really nice too!” She pulled out an oversized jean jacket. “This is so cozy and cute!”
Leia jumped up and clapped. “I picked that one for you Aunt Nat! Do you like it!?” She waited excitedly for Nat’s answer. 
“Oh my Leia girl, I love it even more now. Thank you so much, pretty girl.” Nat pulled Leia to her and gave her a kiss on her cheek. “You sure know how to pick good clothes. You must get that from you momma.” She looked over at you and winked. 
“I guess that’s my cue.” Austin laughed and opened his first girl. He pulled out a nice quarter-zip sweater. “You guys just really know my taste don’t ya? This looks comfy!” He felt the inside of the sweater. “Oh, this is so soft! Thank you guys!” 
“Next one Austie!!” Leia pointed to his last gift. 
He opened it and inside was a white sweater. “Oh man, I can layer these! This sweater is so nice! Thank you so much!”
Bradley started to laugh. “I like how we all got each other clothes that we cannot wear while living here because we will sweat so much.”
Everyone started laughing. “We will be ready for cold California when we all get back, but even then San Diego will start warming up again when we are all back.” Jake started to laugh. 
“Okay now you all open your gifts!” Phoenix adjusted in her spot as she got ready to watch all of you exchange gifts and open them.
You started and handed all your gifts out to them. Leia and Bradley opened the gifts for the boys. You got little Bradley and Luke baby blankets. Luke’s was Darth Vader and Brad’s was Grogu. 
“Here you go babies. From momma!” Leia handed each of her brother’s their blankets and they instantly started to play with them. “I think they like them momma!” 
Leia was next. She opened her gift and pulled out a little box. “Momma, what is it?” She looked at it curiously. 
“Open it, babe.” You smiled at her. 
She opened the box and saw a little necklace with a teddy bear on it. “Oh my gosh! It is so cute, momma!” She held it up to show everyone. “Daddy, can you put it on me?” Bradley put it on her neck and you came down next to her. 
“The cool thing about it Leia is that I have one that goes with it.” You showed her yours that you were wearing. “Yours can fit into mine. Watch.” You grabbed your teddy bear and she grabbed hers and her little teddy bear fit right into yours. 
“Momma… I love that.”
You kissed her cheek. “Always linked, Forever loved.” 
She smiled as she looked at both your necklaces together. “Thank you, momma. I love it so much!”
Gunner was passed out in his bed so Bradley opened his gift, “Oh babe you didn’t!” He started to laugh. “You got him a doggy car seat!” He started to bust out laughing. “Now our cars back home will have 4 car seats. Holy shit.” 
Last was Bradley. He opened his gift and his eyes went wide. “OH MY GOD! YESSS!!!” He finished ripping the paper off of the big box. “A DOUBLE BABY CARRIER! I WANTED THIS SO BAD!” Everyone started to laugh. “You guys don’t understand. Once I found out we were having twins I would always send pictures to y/n when she was back home of these things. I wanted one so bad.” He yanked it out of the box and looked at it. “Now I can carry one on my back and one on my chest! SWEET!!!” 
Bradley went over to you and kissed you over and over again. “Thank you so much, baby. It’s just what I wanted!” 
Bradley and Jake started to play around with the carrier. “Oh wait before we try to put this thing together. The Kids and I have presents for momma.” He smiled over to you as him and Leia went to go and grab your gifts.
You were shocked. You weren’t expecting anything, nor did you really want anything. You already had everything you needed and wanted.
Leia handed you your first gift. They were a new pair of platform Converse. You did mention you wanted these and were shocked that they remembered. “Oh, I love them! Thank you guys!” Leia gave you your next one. You shook the box and heard rattling. Bradley looked at you with wide eyes. 
“Holy shit. Be careful, honey.” He started to laugh. 
You unwrapped and opened the box. Inside was a Stanley cup with Star Wars engravings. “HOLY CRAP!” You looked at it in amazement. “How the hell did you get this! It was so limited!” 
Bradley shook his head. “Don’t worry about it, babe. Only the best for you.” He patted Leia’s head and winked at her. Bradley handed you your next gift. 
“Oh my, there is more!” You looked at the next bag with wide eyes. You didn’t expect them to get you so many. This bag felt super light. You took out the tissue paper and inside was a teddy jacket. You screamed. “I wanted this so bad!!!” You thought back to the day you and Bradley were walking around after a date and popped into a store and saw this. You wanted to buy it right then and there but you didn’t. “Oh, thank you so much!” 
Bradley handed you another box. “You guys! This is a lot! Oh my gosh!” You opened the next gift and it was a photo collage. They were polaroids Bradley had saved over time. Some were of you and him in college. At his graduation from boot camp. Pictures with you, Mav, and Penny when you first met. Pictures with him and his parents, you and your parents. From your wedding, from the dates you went on, when Leia was born, and when the boys were born. You, Bradley, and the whole squad back home. You started to tear up. “How did you even get all of these, Brad?” You looked up at him and then back down to the collage. 
He handed little Brad to Austin and came over to you. He kissed your head as you leaned into him. “I had a lot of help, sweetheart.” You and he continued to look at it as you reminisced. “I have another gift. But this one is from all of us.”
Jake and Austin went to the garage to grab your last gift. The guys came in with a Star Wars-themed rocking chair. “OH MY GOSH!” 
You got up still holding the collage and went to go and look at it. “This is so adorable! It’ll be perfect in the boys room!” You went around and gave everyone hugs and kisses. “I love you all so much. Thank you for all of it.” You gave Bradley extra kisses. “Thank you, babe.”
He smiled at you and gave you another kiss on your nose. “Anything for you.” He held you close and kissed your head again. “I do have one more gift for you babe.” 
You looked up at him in shock. “Another gift, Bradley?” You looked at him sadly. “Brad noooo!” He laughed and pulled a little box from the inside of his waistline. “Merry Christmas, sweetheart.”
You opened the little box and inside was a ring. “Bradley… What the hell…” You gasped and couldn’t say another word. Bradley pulled it from the box and asked for your hand. “Bradley….” You started to cry. 
He took his mom’s ring off and placed it into the box. He gave the box to Jake to hold. “Bradley no!” You were trying to reach for the box and he held your hand to him. 
“You will always have my mother’s ring, sweetheart. It’s not going anywhere. I know she would have wanted me to give it to you. Mav always told me my mom left it behind for me so I could give it to the love of my life. And even though it’s such a beautiful gesture and has so much love and meaning behind it. It was a gift from my father to give to my mother to show his love for her. It will always be the symbol of love in my life for me. However, I wanted to get you one that was from me. One that I wanted to pick out specifically for you, to show you my love. A symbol of our love. Forever.” He placed the ring onto your finger and kissed it. “I love you, sweetheart, forever.”
You looked at the ring in amazement. It was definitely bigger and different from Carole’s ring. You grabbed Bradley’s face and kissed him over and over again. “You could have gotten me a ring pop and I would have taken it, Brad. This is so much!” You stated to weep. “I love you, always.” 
Leia jumped around. “Momma and daddy are getting married agaiiiin!!!” You and Bradley started to laugh as she hopped around you both. 
Everyone came to look at the ring. “Jesus that is one beautiful ring!” Nat grabbed your hand and looked at your new ring. “It’s mesmerizing! Look at it, Aus.” She showed your hand to him. 
Austin picked up little Brad and came over. “My oh My. That is so nice. Carole’s ring is just as beautiful, but man this one has it’s own beauty to it.” He patted Bradley’s back with his free hand. “You picked a beautiful ring, Brad.”
Bradley smiled and put his arm over Austin’s shoulders. “Thanks, bud. Anything for my girl. I feel she deserves more than that but when I saw it, I thought it’s as beautiful as her.” Bradley smiled up at you as you blushed. 
Jake came to look at your ring as he held Luke against his hip. “DAMN ROOSTER! That is a METEOR.” He showed your hand to Luke. “Look buddy. College tuition.” 
Nat slapped Jake’s shoulder. “Bagman do you always have to ruin everything. Gosh!” She shook her head and grabbed Luke from his arms. 
Jake started to laugh as he kissed your temple. “I am only kidding, y/n. It’s such a beautiful ring. Bradshaw sure knows how to pick them. So pretty, honey. You make the ring look even better!” He wrapped his arm over your shoulder and patted them. 
Bradley started to laugh. “You are definitely something else, Seresin.” Bradley shook his head and snickered at him. 
“Now. Real question. Where is my ring, Rooster boy?” Jake raised his brows at Bradley.

It had been a couple of more months of getting used to new schedules and adjusting to life. The first Christmas with the boys was new. It was also hard to buy gifts for them because they were constantly growing and becoming interested in something new every week.
———-
Christmas
You and Nat were at the store Christmas shopping for gifts while the men stayed at home with the kiddies. 
“Do you think at least one of us should have stayed back with them to help?” Nat asked as you both sat down to take a break from shopping. 
You thought about it for a second and then shook your head. “No they’ll be fine. Plus we just have a couple of more things to grab and then we can go home while they go out.” You took a deep breath in. “So lets enjoy it.” 
You both laughed and nodded. By the time you were finished you and Nat were more than ready to leave the crowded malls and head home. On the way home you bot sang to Christmas music and danced in the car. 
When you got home, Bradley was putting the boys down for a nap and Austin was putting a jacket on Leia. 
“Where is she going?” You gave Leia a kiss on her cheek. 
“I’m going to go get presents with daddy!” Leia smiled as she slipped her shoes on.
Bradley came over and placed a kiss on your cheek. “The boys are down for a nap, house is clean, and snacks are ready for you and Nix on the counter.” 
You and Nat looked at each other in shock. “Okay… Thank you babe.” You kissed his cheek as he threw his jacket on and they all left.
Nat put the bags down and took her coat off. “Definitely not what I expected to come home to.” She laughed and unpacked the bags. 
You looked around suspicious. “No. Seriously…” You went to give the boys kisses. They were knocked out. 
Nat grabbed some tea for you both and a couple of snacks the guys left behind for you both. “Ready to wrap mama?”
“Yes! Let’s get this done before they wake up and the guys and Leia get home.”
———-
Bradley’s POV 
After we all piled into my truck we were off to grab presents for everyone. Hangman and Austin headed in together to go to different stores to grab gifts. I picked up Leia and gave her a piggy back ride as we headed in to get our gift for you. 
Leia pointed to the little store. “Daddy! There!” 
I bounced a little bit. “Good eye, baby girl. Away we go!” I made plane swooshing noises and bee-lined for the store. She giggled and held onto me tighter. Right when we approached the store, I let her down. 
She ran in and grabbed your first gift. “Daddy! They have it!” She held it above her head and ran over to me. 
“Good job, my little co-pilot. Thank god you’re here. It would have taken daddy forever to find this.” I gave her a kiss on the cheek and picked her up as we made our way to the cash register. 
“Where to next, sir?” Leia climbed around me and clung onto my back again as she held the bag. 
“The sweater now?” I looked back at her.  She nodded against me. 
“Sweater is it! Go daddy!!” She pointed and we headed to the next store. 
As we walked to the next store, I could hear Leia singing to the Christmas music that was playing around the mall. 
-Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas by Frank Sinatra playing-
“Have yourself a merry little Christmas… Make the yuletide gay…from now on, our troubles will be miles away.” 
I smiled and looked over my shoulder. “Don’t be shy, babe. Sing louder so daddy can hear and sing too.” 
“Daddy!” She hid into the crook of my neck. She got shy. 
“Your voice is beautiful, babe!” She shook her head into the back of my neck. I laughed. So I started singing too. 
“Throughout the years, we all will be together… if the fates allow…”
I felt her head peak back out. “Hang a shining star upon the highest bough…”
I gave her a little nudge and together we sung loudly. “And have yourself a marry little christmas now.” 
She rested her chin on my shoulder and leaned her head into the side of mine. We made it to the next store. It took us a while to find the sweater you’ve been wanting, but we eventually found it. Leia hopped back onto my back and we were off to the last store for your last gift.
Leia was humming Happy Xmas by John Lennon and Yoko Ono. She started to sing it softly. 
“A very merry christmas. And a happy new year. Lets hope its a good one. Without any fear.”
And I chimed in. “So this is Christmas. And what have we done?”
She gave a little harmony. “Waaaarrr is overrrrr.” “Andddd if you want ittt.” 
I chuckled as we continued to harmonize together, while navigating through the crowds. After we finished getting your gifts we made a pit stop to the truck to unload and we went back in to the madness to get everyone else’s gifts. 
————-
The next morning, everyone had their gifts all under the star wars themed christmas tree. It was over flowing with gifts. This year it would just be us, plus Nix, Seresin, and Austin. All the adults were up early to get everything set up for the kids. Of course, it was going to be another low-key, cozy holiday in. Everyone had matching PJs to lounge in all day. 
All the adults got everything ready for the kids, more or less Leia. Phoenix took a bite of the cookies that were left out. Hangman drank all the milk. Austin took a bite out of the side of a carrot. Then you and I made some boot prints in snow from the sliding door. 
You sprinkled some flour on the floor and I put on my boots to walk through it. We wanted to give Leia a fun experience for Christmas. Once we all finished we stood around the counter drinking hot cocoa. 
“We forgot one more thing to add to the cookies to make it look for real that Santa was here.” Phoenix walked up to Hangman and yanked one of his hairs out. 
“OW Trace, what the hell?” Hangman grabbed his head and looked at her with an annoyed face. We all started to laugh. 
“Have to have more proof that he was here. A piece of hair will do. Thanks for your cooperation, Bagman.” She placed the hair on the tray by the cookies. 
Hangman was rubbing his head and winced, “You’re lucky that we are doing this for Leia and the boys. I’d do anything for them.” He walked up the stairs to go change into his PJs.
I shook my head and laughed at Phoenix. “Trace, you are definitely something else. but thanks for that.” I raised my hot cocoa to her and then took a sip of it. “Now with that done. I think we should all go get changed. Y/n and I are going to go and get the kids up. 
We all headed upstairs and got ready to spend some time together and to watch the kids open presents. 
———-
The first ones back down stairs were Phoenix and Austin. They sat on the couch and helped put Gunner into his Pjs. 
“Merry Christmas!!!” Leia ran down the stairs with her arms up and yelling. She jumped onto the couch to hug Phoenix and Austin. 
You and I were close behind with the boys in our arms. Baby Brad was still asleep, but Luke was wide awake and giggling in my arms. We were all in our matching elves' pajamas. You and I sat on the couches with the boys fixing their little elf hats. 
“Seresin, hurry the hell up. You’re always first to leave, but last to come back!” I yelled up stairs for him to hurry and come down. 
“I’m Coming!” We could all hear him shuffling up stairs. 
I gave Luke to Phoenix and brought Leia around the house as we waited for Hangman to come down. “Look, sweetheart. Santa was here last night. He ate your cookies you left out and even drank all your milk!” 
Leia looked at all the little bits of evidence with joy and shock. “Daddy! There is even a hair here!!” Leia picked up the hair that was left by the cookie. 
I looked over at Phoenix and saw her and Austin fist bumping over the success of yanking Hangman’s hair out. 
“Can we keep it, daddy?” She looked up at me holding the hair in between her fingers. 
I laughed and nodded. “We sure can, sweetheart.” 
Leia set the hair down carefully on the plate again and saw the trail of boot marks by the sliding door. “DADDY! He came in through the sliding door!” She ran over by the door and looked at the foot prints, “Look!” She was jumping excitedly as she was pointing to the boot marks in the ‘snow.’
I gasped and went to go examine the sight. “He left a mess!”
Leia started to laugh, “We can clean it up after! He was probably in a hurry!” 
I knelt down and kissed her cheek, “I’m sure he was, baby.” I picked her up and brought her back over to the couch. 
“Leia, did you see that the reindeer ate the carrot you left for them?” Austin pointed over to the carrot pile Leia left out the night before. 
She ran over to the carrots and examined them. She held one over her head to show all of us. “OH MY GOSH! THEY DID! I HOPE IT WAS RUDOLPH!” She screamed in excitement and ran back and jumped into my lap. “Do we get to open presents now, daddy?” She smiled up at me. 
I nodded as I wrapped my arms around her. “Yes, but we have to wait for your uncle Jake. He’s still changing into his elf Pjs… and TAKING FOREVER.” I looked up to the steps. “Come on man! Your niece wants to open her presents!” 
Then with that we heard some steps coming down the stairs. We all turned to a sight. 
“HOLY NIGHT.” I furrowed my brows. 
Phoenix started to laugh as she saw hangman come down from the stairs. “I thought we were all wearing elf pajamas??” 
I rolled my eyes. “We were, but I can see Seresin always has a change of plans.” 
You turned away and started to laugh loudly. hangman came down in a Santa suit. But not any Santa suit. THE Santa suit. It had ripped sleeves and an exposed chest. He wore a Santa hat and a beard to finish the ensemble. 
“Holy Sexy Santa.” Austin’s eyes went wide and he looked at Phoenix confused. She started to laugh hard at his comment. 
“HO. HO. HO. Merry Christmas, Bradshaw family!” He came down waving and was holding a present. 
“UNCCLE JAAAKEY!” Leia was pointing and laughing at hangman. She ran to him and gave him a hug. “Is that present for me, uncle Santa?” 
“Oh no, my vapor girl. This is for your dad.” He looked at me as he smiled deviously through the beard. He came over to me as he held the suspicious box in front of him. 
He leaned down to me and whispered, “It’s my cock in a box.” 
Phoenix, you, and Austin started to laugh hard when they heard him. I pinched the bridge of my nose and shook my head. 
“Uncle jakey, why did you get daddy a rooster in a box?”
Hangman blurted out laughing and patted Leia on the head. “Your daddy’s call sign is rooster. It’s only fitting.” 
I rolled my eyes again and shut them as i shook my head. I buried my face into my hands and let out a sigh. I was trying so hard to hold back my laughter. 
“IM JOKING BRADSHAW.” Hangman set the present down under the tree and took a seat across from me with Leia. “It’s for the boys. RELAX.”
I looked at him with wide eyes. “THATS EVEN WORSE.”
He threw his head back and then looked at me annoyed. “Let’s not start.” He started to laugh as i threw a pillow at him. “Alright, with that… Let’s open presents!” 
———-
Your POV
Jake was the first one to grab his gifts and handed them out. He handed Austin and Phoenix theirs, then Bradley and Leia, and then gave you yours and gave you one for each of the boys. 
“I hope y’all like everything I’ve got you. And if you don’t, I kept receipts.” He sat back down on the couch by Austin and put his arm up and over around him on the couch. “Well, everyone open ‘em up.” He smiled at all of you.
Nat opened hers and Jake had got her a basket full of goodies. “Oh my gosh, Bagman! I love it!” She pulled out everything one by one, excited with everything she was pulling out. 
“Glad you like it Trace.” He patted Austin’s shoulder, "Now you big man.”
Austin opened his gift, “Jake! Aww man no this is too much. This looks expensive, man.”
Jake shook his head and patted his back. “I saw that flannel and immediately thought of you, dude.”
“Well, thank you. But it’s really so much.” He held it up and looked at the flannel jacket surprised. 
“No problem, Bro.” He looked over at all of you. “Bradshaws, don’t keep me waitin.” He started to laugh as he waited for the 6 of you to open your gifts. He went over and sat by your legs to help you open the boys gift and Gunner’s.
Jake got you and Leia baskets full of stuff similar to Nat’s. You and Leia were excited as you looked through them. 
“Wow, thanks, Jake!” You placed your hand on his shoulder and he patted your hand. 
“Thank you Uncle Jakey!” Leia jumped into his arms as he laughed and kissed her head. 
“For Gunner…” He pulled out three Star Wars toys and threw them at him. Gunner went crazy over them and started to play with them. 
Bradley opened his gift, “Holy Shit, Seresin…” He held up a brown carhart jacket. “This is fucking sweet.” Bradley looked at it all around. “What the hell, dude!” He shoved Jake as they laughed. “Thank you, man. Holy shit.”
Jake laughed, “I saw that and immediately thought of you too.” Jake opened up the gift for the boys. “And now for the Bradshaw boys… the best for last!” He held up the two bibs. “DRINKING BUDDIES!” 
Everyone started to laugh. Jake placed them on the boys and gave them both kisses. Bradley grabbed baby Brad and Jake grabbed Luke. They made them high-five and place them on the floor to sit in front of them. They were able to sit up on their own but just in case either of them fell back there was someone behind them to catch them. 
Up next was Nat. She handed everyone her gifts. She gave the boys’ gift to Bradley to open this time. 
Austin went first, she got him some new shirts. Some long-sleeved ribbed shirts and some short-sleeved collared ribbed shirts. “Aww, babe. I love these! Thank you!” He kissed her cheek and looked at his clothes amazed. 
“I think you would looked so cute in those!” She grabbed one and held it against him. Everyone agreed. Especially the boys. Bradley and Jake kept whistling at him and he started to blush.
Jake opened up his gift next. “Ohhh heeeyyy!!!!! This is nooooiiiiiiiccceeee!” Jake held up his button-up shirt to show everyone. He held it against himself. “Am I as hot as Austin, yet?” He closed his eyes and smiled big while Austin and Bradley whistled at him. 
Bradley pinched Jake’s chest, “Quit it, my wife is right there. She’s gonna get jealous.” They both started to laugh. 
“Damn, thanks Trace! I love it!” Jake started to smell the shirt. 
Nat and Bradley looked at him weird. “Why do you always have to smell everything new you get?” Nat raised a brow at him. 
Jake shrugged. “Tradition? I don’t know?”
Up next was Bradley. He ripped apart the bag. Everyone looked at him with wide eyes as his gift flew up into the air and landed in front of him and little Brad.
“Well shit. I hope it’s not broken…” Phoenix started to laugh. 
Bradley grabbed it and opened up the toiletry bag. “HOLY SHIT! NO WAY! PHE! THANK YOU!” 
He showed everyone what was inside. It was a beard and mustache grooming kit. “I needed a new one! Thank you!”
Nat laughed and shot him her fist. They fist bumped. “Your stache is out of regs. You needed a new one!” Bradley started to laugh as he played with his mustache. 
Leia started to open her huge box carefully. “I don’t want to break it, Aunt Nat..” Leia ripped the wrapping paper delicately. 
Nat started to laugh, “Vapor girl, its okay yours won’t break. I promise.” She shot her a thumbs up. 
“OKAY!” Leia started to rip the paper crazily as she was throwing it everywhere. She opened the big box and gasped. “OH MY GAAAAHHDD!” She yanked out the first bean bag. “I LOVE THESE!!!” She pulled out all the Star Wars-themed bean bags. “I WANNA PUT THEM EVERYWHERE! THANKS AUNT NAT!” Leia ran and jumped on Nat and covered her in kisses. 
“Anything for my Vapor girl.” She pushed Leia’s hair out of her face and gave her a kiss on the cheek. 
Austin opened Gunner’s gift for him. It was a new doggy bed. He brought all his toys to it and laid in it with them. 
You opened your gift from Nat. It was a new necklace. You pulled it from the box and looked at it. It had all of your initials on it. “Oh my gosh! I love this so much! Thank you, Nat!” You looked at each letter, “B,L,L,B,G and a heart!” You held it to your chest and started to tear up. 
Nat started to tear up too, “I am so happy you love it!!” 
Last were the boys. “The best for last!” Nat echoed Jake. Bradley started to open the boys gift. It was in a little basket. He opened the basket and inside were little outfits and goodies for the boys. 
“AWH! These are the cutest things ever, Trace!” Bradley held up the box to show you. 
“Oh my gosh! That is so sweet!!!” You cooed over the box. 
Jake and Bradley made the boys blow kisses to their Aunt Nat and gave them little baby voices. “Thank you Aunt, Nix!”
She smiled and blew kisses back to them. “There is one more!” 
Bradly grabbed the other box and helped little Brad open it, inside was a Star Wars mood light. 
“DUDE! This is so cool! I want this in my room!” Bradley held it up to show everyone. 
“Thank you so much, Trace. These are so nice!” 
Austin was next to grab his gifts and hand them out. “I hope y’all like them. I kinda suck at gifts.” He started to chuckle as he sat back down on the couch. 
Nat started with her gift. She opened it up and pulled it out. She started to laugh and held it against her chest. “Aus, you got me a carhart jacket too!?” She reached over and placed her hand behind his head and pulled him in for a kiss. “Thank you, I love it so much!”
Austin smiled. “Do you actually like it? I remember you told me a long time ago that you’ve always wanted one. And I saw your closet and you still didnt have one until now.” He smiled at her. 
She cooed over his gesture and gave him another kiss. “I love it even more, Aus. Thank you.” 
Jake shook his box. “Did I get one too? So I can join the crew?” He laughed and opened his box. “Oh wait a minute! This is even better!” He held up the toiletry bag and opened it. “OH MAN!” He started to laugh. “Thank you, man! I love this! And also really needed this!” He started to pull out hair products. 
“You take great care of your hair and thought I could get you some more stuff. You looked like you were getting low in the bathroom.” Austin fist-bumped Jake. 
“This man is fucking damn smart. He was snooping around our stuff and got us what we needed!” Jake started to laugh. “Thank you so much dude!” 
Austin gave him a wink and a thumbs up. Next was Leia. “Leia Rey, why don’t you open yours next, sweetheart.” He pinched Leia’s cheek and smiled.
Leia started to open her gift. She squealed and pulled it out of the box. “ITS A ROOSTER!!!” She held the squishmallow above her head. “THANK YOU THANK YOU AUSTIE!” She gave him a kiss and gave her new toy a big hug. 
He pushed Leia’s curls from her forehead and gave it a kiss. “You’re welcome, my sweet girl.”
Austin pulled out a collar from behind him. “I didn’t get to wrap it, but I got this for Gunner.” He got off the couch ad went over to Gunner in his bed and placed a new collar around his neck. “There ya go bud.” He gave his head a few scratches before returning to the couch. 
You opened your next It was a pretty heavy box. “Gosh what is this, Austin?” You started to unwrap it. 
“I thought your house could use one. Here in Hawaii and back home in San Diego.” He smiled as you opened your gift.
“Oh my goodness…” You froze. It was a record player. “Austin….” 
Everyone was shocked. “HOLY SHIT THAAT IS NICE, BABE!” 
Nat smiled and handed you another gift. “We both got this for you and Rooster.”
You started to open it. It was a custom vinyl with a picture of you and Bradley on it from your wedding. The vinyl was named “The Bradshaws.” 
“It has music on there that you and Bradley love. From songs you would recommend to each other, songs you dance around to in the house or even out places, and your wedding song.”
You started to cry. “You guys… This is beautiful. Thank you so much!” You got up and went to hug the both of them. “I love this so much. Oh my gosh.” On your way back you gave Bradley a kiss. 
“I’m glad you love it, Darlin. Natasha really helped me out with it. You should really thank her.” He started to laugh. 
Bradley opened the gift for the Boys. “Look at these!” He started to laugh. They were matching onesies that said, “Bro’s for life.” Bradley gave one to Jake to hold against Luke. “Dude they are gonna wear these every day. These are too good. Along with the drinking buddies bibs!” Bradley smiled and held it against little Brad. “Thank you, Uncle Austin.” Bradley made Little Brad wave to him. 
Austin put the tip of his fingers on his lips as he used his other hand to wave to the boys. “I love you, boys.” 
Bradley was last. He opened his gift from Austin and his eyes went wide. “This man has good ass taste.” He held up his sweater, “This looks nice and cozy, man! Thank you!” He reached his hand out for Austin and they interlocked fingers as Bradley shook his hand to show his thanks. 
“I think you would look handsome as hell in that, Bradley.” Austin started to laugh. 
“Oh hell no. I’m right here, Austin.” Jake looked at Austin with furrowed brows. 
Bradley held his hands up to them both. “There is enough daddy to go around. Relax.”
Everyone started to laugh and Nat made a disgusted face. “I’ll Pass.” Everyone started to laugh harder. 
Up next were the gifts that Bradley, You, Leia, the boys, and Gunner got for everyone. Leia handed out the gifts. 
“Uncle Jakey first!” She clapped her hands in excitement. 
“We all get two gifts??” He said excitedly. He started to open the first one. He opened it up and pulled it out. He started to laugh loudly. “I’M A PART OF THE CREW! A CARHART!” He started to laugh. “This one is different, but at least I get to stand out from you nerds.” He put it down and gave all of you hugs and kisses. “Thank you! I love it!” 
Bradley shook his head. “You’re welcome, Bagman. Now opened the other one.” 
Jake started to open the second gift. He bursted into laughter even louder this time. “OH SHIT! NO WAY!” He held up another carhart, “NOW I AM REALLY PART OF THE CREW!” He held up a navy blue jacket that was in the same fit as Bradley’s and Nat’s. “God I love it! Thank you!” He couldn’t stop laughing. 
“Aunt Nix now!!” Leia bounced up and down. 
Nat started to open her first gift. She pulled out a flannel jacket. “Oh this is so cute!!” She was feeling its fabric, “Y/n definitely picked this out.” 
Bradley and you started to laugh. “She most definitely did. She picked it up and was like ‘oh babe! This is totally something Nat would wear!’ And how could I not agree because it definitely is something you’d wear.” 
Nat started to laugh. “I love it!” 
Leia gave Nat her second present. “Now this one!” She watched excitedly as Nat started to unwrap the box. 
“Hey! This one is really nice too!” She pulled out an oversized jean jacket. “This is so cozy and cute!”
Leia jumped up and clapped. “I picked that one for you Aunt Nat! Do you like it!?” She waited excitedly for Nat’s answer. 
“Oh my Leia girl, I love it even more now. Thank you so much, pretty girl.” Nat pulled Leia to her and gave her a kiss on her cheek. “You sure know how to pick good clothes. You must get that from you momma.” She looked over at you and winked. 
“I guess that’s my cue.” Austin laughed and opened his first girl. He pulled out a nice quarter-zip sweater. “You guys just really know my taste don’t ya? This looks comfy!” He felt the inside of the sweater. “Oh, this is so soft! Thank you guys!” 
“Next one Austie!!” Leia pointed to his last gift. 
He opened it and inside was a white sweater. “Oh man, I can layer these! This sweater is so nice! Thank you so much!”
Bradley started to laugh. “I like how we all got each other clothes that we cannot wear while living here because we will sweat so much.”
Everyone started laughing. “We will be ready for cold California when we all get back, but even then San Diego will start warming up again when we are all back.” Jake started to laugh. 
“Okay now you all open your gifts!” Phoenix adjusted in her spot as she got ready to watch all of you exchange gifts and open them.
You started and handed all your gifts out to them. Leia and Bradley opened the gifts for the boys. You got little Bradley and Luke baby blankets. Luke’s was Darth Vader and Brad’s was Grogu. 
“Here you go babies. From momma!” Leia handed each of her brother’s their blankets and they instantly started to play with them. “I think they like them momma!” 
Leia was next. She opened her gift and pulled out a little box. “Momma, what is it?” She looked at it curiously. 
“Open it, babe.” You smiled at her. 
She opened the box and saw a little necklace with a teddy bear on it. “Oh my gosh! It is so cute, momma!” She held it up to show everyone. “Daddy, can you put it on me?” Bradley put it on her neck and you came down next to her. 
“The cool thing about it Leia is that I have one that goes with it.” You showed her yours that you were wearing. “Yours can fit into mine. Watch.” You grabbed your teddy bear and she grabbed hers and her little teddy bear fit right into yours. 
“Momma… I love that.”
You kissed her cheek. “Always linked, Forever loved.” 
She smiled as she looked at both your necklaces together. “Thank you, momma. I love it so much!”
Gunner was passed out in his bed so Bradley opened his gift, “Oh babe you didn’t!” He started to laugh. “You got him a doggy car seat!” He started to bust out laughing. “Now our cars back home will have 4 car seats. Holy shit.” 
Last was Bradley. He opened his gift and his eyes went wide. “OH MY GOD! YESSS!!!” He finished ripping the paper off of the big box. “A DOUBLE BABY CARRIER! I WANTED THIS SO BAD!” Everyone started to laugh. “You guys don’t understand. Once I found out we were having twins I would always send pictures to y/n when she was back home of these things. I wanted one so bad.” He yanked it out of the box and looked at it. “Now I can carry one on my back and one on my chest! SWEET!!!” 
Bradley went over to you and kissed you over and over again. “Thank you so much, baby. It’s just what I wanted!” 
Bradley and Jake started to play around with the carrier. “Oh wait before we try to put this thing together. The Kids and I have presents for momma.” He smiled over to you as him and Leia went to go and grab your gifts.
You were shocked. You weren’t expecting anything, nor did you really want anything. You already had everything you needed and wanted.
Leia handed you your first gift. They were a new pair of platform Converse. You did mention you wanted these and were shocked that they remembered. “Oh, I love them! Thank you guys!” Leia gave you your next one. You shook the box and heard rattling. Bradley looked at you with wide eyes. 
“Holy shit. Be careful, honey.” He started to laugh. 
You unwrapped and opened the box. Inside was a Stanley cup with Star Wars engravings. “HOLY CRAP!” You looked at it in amazement. “How the hell did you get this! It was so limited!” 
Bradley shook his head. “Don’t worry about it, babe. Only the best for you.” He patted Leia’s head and winked at her. Bradley handed you your next gift. 
“Oh my, there is more!” You looked at the next bag with wide eyes. You didn’t expect them to get you so many. This bag felt super light. You took out the tissue paper and inside was a teddy jacket. You screamed. “I wanted this so bad!!!” You thought back to the day you and Bradley were walking around after a date and popped into a store and saw this. You wanted to buy it right then and there but you didn’t. “Oh, thank you so much!” 
Bradley handed you another box. “You guys! This is a lot! Oh my gosh!” You opened the next gift and it was a photo collage. They were polaroids Bradley had saved over time. Some were of you and him in college. At his graduation from boot camp. Pictures with you, Mav, and Penny when you first met. Pictures with him and his parents, you and your parents. From your wedding, from the dates you went on, when Leia was born, and when the boys were born. You, Bradley, and the whole squad back home. You started to tear up. “How did you even get all of these, Brad?” You looked up at him and then back down to the collage. 
He handed little Brad to Austin and came over to you. He kissed your head as you leaned into him. “I had a lot of help, sweetheart.” You and he continued to look at it as you reminisced. “I have another gift. But this one is from all of us.”
Jake and Austin went to the garage to grab your last gift. The guys came in with a Star Wars-themed rocking chair. “OH MY GOSH!” 
You got up still holding the collage and went to go and look at it. “This is so adorable! It’ll be perfect in the boys room!” You went around and gave everyone hugs and kisses. “I love you all so much. Thank you for all of it.” You gave Bradley extra kisses. “Thank you, babe.”
He smiled at you and gave you another kiss on your nose. “Anything for you.” He held you close and kissed your head again. “I do have one more gift for you babe.” 
You looked up at him in shock. “Another gift, Bradley?” You looked at him sadly. “Brad noooo!” He laughed and pulled a little box from the inside of his waistline. “Merry Christmas, sweetheart.”
You opened the little box and inside was a ring. “Bradley… What the hell…” You gasped and couldn’t say another word. Bradley pulled it from the box and asked for your hand. “Bradley….” You started to cry. 
He took his mom’s ring off and placed it into the box. He gave the box to Jake to hold. “Bradley no!” You were trying to reach for the box and he held your hand to him. 
“You will always have my mother’s ring, sweetheart. It’s not going anywhere. I know she would have wanted me to give it to you. Mav always told me my mom left it behind for me so I could give it to the love of my life. And even though it’s such a beautiful gesture and has so much love and meaning behind it. It was a gift from my father to give to my mother to show his love for her. It will always be the symbol of love in my life for me. However, I wanted to get you one that was from me. One that I wanted to pick out specifically for you, to show you my love. A symbol of our love. Forever.” He placed the ring onto your finger and kissed it. “I love you, sweetheart, forever.”
You looked at the ring in amazement. It was definitely bigger and different from Carole’s ring. You grabbed Bradley’s face and kissed him over and over again. “You could have gotten me a ring pop and I would have taken it, Brad. This is so much!” You stated to weep. “I love you, always.” 
Leia jumped around. “Momma and daddy are getting married agaiiiin!!!” You and Bradley started to laugh as she hopped around you both. 
Everyone came to look at the ring. “Jesus that is one beautiful ring!” Nat grabbed your hand and looked at your new ring. “It’s mesmerizing! Look at it, Aus.” She showed your hand to him. 
Austin picked up little Brad and came over. “My oh My. That is so nice. Carole’s ring is just as beautiful, but man this one has it’s own beauty to it.” He patted Bradley’s back with his free hand. “You picked a beautiful ring, Brad.”
Bradley smiled and put his arm over Austin’s shoulders. “Thanks, bud. Anything for my girl. I feel she deserves more than that but when I saw it, I thought it’s as beautiful as her.” Bradley smiled up at you as you blushed. 
Jake came to look at your ring as he held Luke against his hip. “DAMN ROOSTER! That is a METEOR.” He showed your hand to Luke. “Look buddy. College tuition.” 
Nat slapped Jake’s shoulder. “Bagman do you always have to ruin everything. Gosh!” She shook her head and grabbed Luke from his arms. 
Jake started to laugh as he kissed your temple. “I am only kidding, y/n. It’s such a beautiful ring. Bradshaw sure knows how to pick them. So pretty, honey. You make the ring look even better!” He wrapped his arm over your shoulder and patted them. 
Bradley started to laugh. “You are definitely something else, Seresin.” Bradley shook his head and snickered at him. 
“Now. Real question. Where is my ring, Rooster boy?” Jake raised his brows at Bradley.

It had been a couple of more months of getting used to new schedules and adjusting to life. The first Christmas with the boys was new. It was also hard to buy gifts for them because they were constantly growing and becoming interested in something new every week.
———-
Christmas
You and Nat were at the store Christmas shopping for gifts while the men stayed at home with the kiddies. 
“Do you think at least one of us should have stayed back with them to help?” Nat asked as you both sat down to take a break from shopping. 
You thought about it for a second and then shook your head. “No they’ll be fine. Plus we just have a couple of more things to grab and then we can go home while they go out.” You took a deep breath in. “So lets enjoy it.” 
You both laughed and nodded. By the time you were finished you and Nat were more than ready to leave the crowded malls and head home. On the way home you bot sang to Christmas music and danced in the car. 
When you got home, Bradley was putting the boys down for a nap and Austin was putting a jacket on Leia. 
“Where is she going?” You gave Leia a kiss on her cheek. 
“I’m going to go get presents with daddy!” Leia smiled as she slipped her shoes on.
Bradley came over and placed a kiss on your cheek. “The boys are down for a nap, house is clean, and snacks are ready for you and Nix on the counter.” 
You and Nat looked at each other in shock. “Okay… Thank you babe.” You kissed his cheek as he threw his jacket on and they all left.
Nat put the bags down and took her coat off. “Definitely not what I expected to come home to.” She laughed and unpacked the bags. 
You looked around suspicious. “No. Seriously…” You went to give the boys kisses. They were knocked out. 
Nat grabbed some tea for you both and a couple of snacks the guys left behind for you both. “Ready to wrap mama?”
“Yes! Let’s get this done before they wake up and the guys and Leia get home.”
———-
Bradley’s POV 
After we all piled into my truck we were off to grab presents for everyone. Hangman and Austin headed in together to go to different stores to grab gifts. I picked up Leia and gave her a piggy back ride as we headed in to get our gift for you. 
Leia pointed to the little store. “Daddy! There!” 
I bounced a little bit. “Good eye, baby girl. Away we go!” I made plane swooshing noises and bee-lined for the store. She giggled and held onto me tighter. Right when we approached the store, I let her down. 
She ran in and grabbed your first gift. “Daddy! They have it!” She held it above her head and ran over to me. 
“Good job, my little co-pilot. Thank god you’re here. It would have taken daddy forever to find this.” I gave her a kiss on the cheek and picked her up as we made our way to the cash register. 
“Where to next, sir?” Leia climbed around me and clung onto my back again as she held the bag. 
“The sweater now?” I looked back at her.  She nodded against me. 
“Sweater is it! Go daddy!!” She pointed and we headed to the next store. 
As we walked to the next store, I could hear Leia singing to the Christmas music that was playing around the mall. 
-Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas by Frank Sinatra playing-
“Have yourself a merry little Christmas… Make the yuletide gay…from now on, our troubles will be miles away.” 
I smiled and looked over my shoulder. “Don’t be shy, babe. Sing louder so daddy can hear and sing too.” 
“Daddy!” She hid into the crook of my neck. She got shy. 
“Your voice is beautiful, babe!” She shook her head into the back of my neck. I laughed. So I started singing too. 
“Throughout the years, we all will be together… if the fates allow…”
I felt her head peak back out. “Hang a shining star upon the highest bough…”
I gave her a little nudge and together we sung loudly. “And have yourself a marry little christmas now.” 
She rested her chin on my shoulder and leaned her head into the side of mine. We made it to the next store. It took us a while to find the sweater you’ve been wanting, but we eventually found it. Leia hopped back onto my back and we were off to the last store for your last gift.
Leia was humming Happy Xmas by John Lennon and Yoko Ono. She started to sing it softly. 
“A very merry christmas. And a happy new year. Lets hope its a good one. Without any fear.”
And I chimed in. “So this is Christmas. And what have we done?”
She gave a little harmony. “Waaaarrr is overrrrr.” “Andddd if you want ittt.” 
I chuckled as we continued to harmonize together, while navigating through the crowds. After we finished getting your gifts we made a pit stop to the truck to unload and we went back in to the madness to get everyone else’s gifts. 
————-
The next morning, everyone had their gifts all under the star wars themed christmas tree. It was over flowing with gifts. This year it would just be us, plus Nix, Seresin, and Austin. All the adults were up early to get everything set up for the kids. Of course, it was going to be another low-key, cozy holiday in. Everyone had matching PJs to lounge in all day. 
All the adults got everything ready for the kids, more or less Leia. Phoenix took a bite of the cookies that were left out. Hangman drank all the milk. Austin took a bite out of the side of a carrot. Then you and I made some boot prints in snow from the sliding door. 
You sprinkled some flour on the floor and I put on my boots to walk through it. We wanted to give Leia a fun experience for Christmas. Once we all finished we stood around the counter drinking hot cocoa. 
“We forgot one more thing to add to the cookies to make it look for real that Santa was here.” Phoenix walked up to Hangman and yanked one of his hairs out. 
“OW Trace, what the hell?” Hangman grabbed his head and looked at her with an annoyed face. We all started to laugh. 
“Have to have more proof that he was here. A piece of hair will do. Thanks for your cooperation, Bagman.” She placed the hair on the tray by the cookies. 
Hangman was rubbing his head and winced, “You’re lucky that we are doing this for Leia and the boys. I’d do anything for them.” He walked up the stairs to go change into his PJs.
I shook my head and laughed at Phoenix. “Trace, you are definitely something else. but thanks for that.” I raised my hot cocoa to her and then took a sip of it. “Now with that done. I think we should all go get changed. Y/n and I are going to go and get the kids up. 
We all headed upstairs and got ready to spend some time together and to watch the kids open presents. 
———-
The first ones back down stairs were Phoenix and Austin. They sat on the couch and helped put Gunner into his Pjs. 
“Merry Christmas!!!” Leia ran down the stairs with her arms up and yelling. She jumped onto the couch to hug Phoenix and Austin. 
You and I were close behind with the boys in our arms. Baby Brad was still asleep, but Luke was wide awake and giggling in my arms. We were all in our matching elves' pajamas. You and I sat on the couches with the boys fixing their little elf hats. 
“Seresin, hurry the hell up. You’re always first to leave, but last to come back!” I yelled up stairs for him to hurry and come down. 
“I’m Coming!” We could all hear him shuffling up stairs. 
I gave Luke to Phoenix and brought Leia around the house as we waited for Hangman to come down. “Look, sweetheart. Santa was here last night. He ate your cookies you left out and even drank all your milk!” 
Leia looked at all the little bits of evidence with joy and shock. “Daddy! There is even a hair here!!” Leia picked up the hair that was left by the cookie. 
I looked over at Phoenix and saw her and Austin fist bumping over the success of yanking Hangman’s hair out. 
“Can we keep it, daddy?” She looked up at me holding the hair in between her fingers. 
I laughed and nodded. “We sure can, sweetheart.” 
Leia set the hair down carefully on the plate again and saw the trail of boot marks by the sliding door. “DADDY! He came in through the sliding door!” She ran over by the door and looked at the foot prints, “Look!” She was jumping excitedly as she was pointing to the boot marks in the ‘snow.’
I gasped and went to go examine the sight. “He left a mess!”
Leia started to laugh, “We can clean it up after! He was probably in a hurry!” 
I knelt down and kissed her cheek, “I’m sure he was, baby.” I picked her up and brought her back over to the couch. 
“Leia, did you see that the reindeer ate the carrot you left for them?” Austin pointed over to the carrot pile Leia left out the night before. 
She ran over to the carrots and examined them. She held one over her head to show all of us. “OH MY GOSH! THEY DID! I HOPE IT WAS RUDOLPH!” She screamed in excitement and ran back and jumped into my lap. “Do we get to open presents now, daddy?” She smiled up at me. 
I nodded as I wrapped my arms around her. “Yes, but we have to wait for your uncle Jake. He’s still changing into his elf Pjs… and TAKING FOREVER.” I looked up to the steps. “Come on man! Your niece wants to open her presents!” 
Then with that we heard some steps coming down the stairs. We all turned to a sight. 
“HOLY NIGHT.” I furrowed my brows. 
Phoenix started to laugh as she saw hangman come down from the stairs. “I thought we were all wearing elf pajamas??” 
I rolled my eyes. “We were, but I can see Seresin always has a change of plans.” 
You turned away and started to laugh loudly. hangman came down in a Santa suit. But not any Santa suit. THE Santa suit. It had ripped sleeves and an exposed chest. He wore a Santa hat and a beard to finish the ensemble. 
“Holy Sexy Santa.” Austin’s eyes went wide and he looked at Phoenix confused. She started to laugh hard at his comment. 
“HO. HO. HO. Merry Christmas, Bradshaw family!” He came down waving and was holding a present. 
“UNCCLE JAAAKEY!” Leia was pointing and laughing at hangman. She ran to him and gave him a hug. “Is that present for me, uncle Santa?” 
“Oh no, my vapor girl. This is for your dad.” He looked at me as he smiled deviously through the beard. He came over to me as he held the suspicious box in front of him. 
He leaned down to me and whispered, “It’s my cock in a box.” 
Phoenix, you, and Austin started to laugh hard when they heard him. I pinched the bridge of my nose and shook my head. 
“Uncle jakey, why did you get daddy a rooster in a box?”
Hangman blurted out laughing and patted Leia on the head. “Your daddy’s call sign is rooster. It’s only fitting.” 
I rolled my eyes again and shut them as i shook my head. I buried my face into my hands and let out a sigh. I was trying so hard to hold back my laughter. 
“IM JOKING BRADSHAW.” Hangman set the present down under the tree and took a seat across from me with Leia. “It’s for the boys. RELAX.”
I looked at him with wide eyes. “THATS EVEN WORSE.”
He threw his head back and then looked at me annoyed. “Let’s not start.” He started to laugh as i threw a pillow at him. “Alright, with that… Let’s open presents!”

Your POV
Jake was the first one to grab his gifts and handed them out. He handed Austin and Phoenix theirs, then Bradley and Leia, and then gave you yours and gave you one for each of the boys. 
“I hope y’all like everything I’ve got you. And if you don’t, I kept receipts.” He sat back down on the couch by Austin and put his arm up and over around him on the couch. “Well, everyone open ‘em up.” He smiled at all of you.
Nat opened hers and Jake had got her a basket full of goodies. “Oh my gosh, Bagman! I love it!” She pulled out everything one by one, excited with everything she was pulling out. 
“Glad you like it Trace.” He patted Austin’s shoulder, "Now you big man.”
Austin opened his gift, “Jake! Aww man no this is too much. This looks expensive, man.”
Jake shook his head and patted his back. “I saw that flannel and immediately thought of you, dude.”
“Well, thank you. But it’s really so much.” He held it up and looked at the flannel jacket surprised. 
“No problem, Bro.” He looked over at all of you. “Bradshaws, don’t keep me waitin.” He started to laugh as he waited for the 6 of you to open your gifts. He went over and sat by your legs to help you open the boys gift and Gunner’s.
Jake got you and Leia baskets full of stuff similar to Nat’s. You and Leia were excited as you looked through them. 
“Wow, thanks, Jake!” You placed your hand on his shoulder and he patted your hand. 
“Thank you Uncle Jakey!” Leia jumped into his arms as he laughed and kissed her head. 
“For Gunner…” He pulled out three Star Wars toys and threw them at him. Gunner went crazy over them and started to play with them. 
Bradley opened his gift, “Holy Shit, Seresin…” He held up a brown carhart jacket. “This is fucking sweet.” Bradley looked at it all around. “What the hell, dude!” He shoved Jake as they laughed. “Thank you, man. Holy shit.”
Jake laughed, “I saw that and immediately thought of you too.” Jake opened up the gift for the boys. “And now for the Bradshaw boys… the best for last!” He held up the two bibs. “DRINKING BUDDIES!” 
Everyone started to laugh. Jake placed them on the boys and gave them both kisses. Bradley grabbed baby Brad and Jake grabbed Luke. They made them high-five and place them on the floor to sit in front of them. They were able to sit up on their own but just in case either of them fell back there was someone behind them to catch them. 
Up next was Nat. She handed everyone her gifts. She gave the boys’ gift to Bradley to open this time. 
Austin went first, she got him some new shirts. Some long-sleeved ribbed shirts and some short-sleeved collared ribbed shirts. “Aww, babe. I love these! Thank you!” He kissed her cheek and looked at his clothes amazed. 
“I think you would looked so cute in those!” She grabbed one and held it against him. Everyone agreed. Especially the boys. Bradley and Jake kept whistling at him and he started to blush.
Jake opened up his gift next. “Ohhh heeeyyy!!!!! This is nooooiiiiiiiccceeee!” Jake held up his button-up shirt to show everyone. He held it against himself. “Am I as hot as Austin, yet?” He closed his eyes and smiled big while Austin and Bradley whistled at him. 
Bradley pinched Jake’s chest, “Quit it, my wife is right there. She’s gonna get jealous.” They both started to laugh. 
“Damn, thanks Trace! I love it!” Jake started to smell the shirt. 
Nat and Bradley looked at him weird. “Why do you always have to smell everything new you get?” Nat raised a brow at him. 
Jake shrugged. “Tradition? I don’t know?”
Up next was Bradley. He ripped apart the bag. Everyone looked at him with wide eyes as his gift flew up into the air and landed in front of him and little Brad.
“Well shit. I hope it’s not broken…” Phoenix started to laugh. 
Bradley grabbed it and opened up the toiletry bag. “HOLY SHIT! NO WAY! PHE! THANK YOU!” 
He showed everyone what was inside. It was a beard and mustache grooming kit. “I needed a new one! Thank you!”
Nat laughed and shot him her fist. They fist bumped. “Your stache is out of regs. You needed a new one!” Bradley started to laugh as he played with his mustache. 
Leia started to open her huge box carefully. “I don’t want to break it, Aunt Nat..” Leia ripped the wrapping paper delicately. 
Nat started to laugh, “Vapor girl, its okay yours won’t break. I promise.” She shot her a thumbs up. 
“OKAY!” Leia started to rip the paper crazily as she was throwing it everywhere. She opened the big box and gasped. “OH MY GAAAAHHDD!” She yanked out the first bean bag. “I LOVE THESE!!!” She pulled out all the Star Wars-themed bean bags. “I WANNA PUT THEM EVERYWHERE! THANKS AUNT NAT!” Leia ran and jumped on Nat and covered her in kisses. 
“Anything for my Vapor girl.” She pushed Leia’s hair out of her face and gave her a kiss on the cheek. 
Austin opened Gunner’s gift for him. It was a new doggy bed. He brought all his toys to it and laid in it with them. 
You opened your gift from Nat. It was a new necklace. You pulled it from the box and looked at it. It had all of your initials on it. “Oh my gosh! I love this so much! Thank you, Nat!” You looked at each letter, “B,L,L,B,G and a heart!” You held it to your chest and started to tear up. 
Nat started to tear up too, “I am so happy you love it!!” 
Last were the boys. “The best for last!” Nat echoed Jake. Bradley started to open the boys gift. It was in a little basket. He opened the basket and inside were little outfits and goodies for the boys. 
“AWH! These are the cutest things ever, Trace!” Bradley held up the box to show you. 
“Oh my gosh! That is so sweet!!!” You cooed over the box. 
Jake and Bradley made the boys blow kisses to their Aunt Nat and gave them little baby voices. “Thank you Aunt, Nix!”
She smiled and blew kisses back to them. “There is one more!” 
Bradly grabbed the other box and helped little Brad open it, inside was a Star Wars mood light. 
“DUDE! This is so cool! I want this in my room!” Bradley held it up to show everyone. 
“Thank you so much, Trace. These are so nice!” 
Austin was next to grab his gifts and hand them out. “I hope y’all like them. I kinda suck at gifts.” He started to chuckle as he sat back down on the couch. 
Nat started with her gift. She opened it up and pulled it out. She started to laugh and held it against her chest. “Aus, you got me a carhart jacket too!?” She reached over and placed her hand behind his head and pulled him in for a kiss. “Thank you, I love it so much!”
Austin smiled. “Do you actually like it? I remember you told me a long time ago that you’ve always wanted one. And I saw your closet and you still didnt have one until now.” He smiled at her. 
She cooed over his gesture and gave him another kiss. “I love it even more, Aus. Thank you.” 
Jake shook his box. “Did I get one too? So I can join the crew?” He laughed and opened his box. “Oh wait a minute! This is even better!” He held up the toiletry bag and opened it. “OH MAN!” He started to laugh. “Thank you, man! I love this! And also really needed this!” He started to pull out hair products. 
“You take great care of your hair and thought I could get you some more stuff. You looked like you were getting low in the bathroom.” Austin fist-bumped Jake. 
“This man is fucking damn smart. He was snooping around our stuff and got us what we needed!” Jake started to laugh. “Thank you so much dude!” 
Austin gave him a wink and a thumbs up. Next was Leia. “Leia Rey, why don’t you open yours next, sweetheart.” He pinched Leia’s cheek and smiled.
Leia started to open her gift. She squealed and pulled it out of the box. “ITS A ROOSTER!!!” She held the squishmallow above her head. “THANK YOU THANK YOU AUSTIE!” She gave him a kiss and gave her new toy a big hug. 
He pushed Leia’s curls from her forehead and gave it a kiss. “You’re welcome, my sweet girl.”
Austin pulled out a collar from behind him. “I didn’t get to wrap it, but I got this for Gunner.” He got off the couch ad went over to Gunner in his bed and placed a new collar around his neck. “There ya go bud.” He gave his head a few scratches before returning to the couch. 
You opened your next It was a pretty heavy box. “Gosh what is this, Austin?” You started to unwrap it. 
“I thought your house could use one. Here in Hawaii and back home in San Diego.” He smiled as you opened your gift.
“Oh my goodness…” You froze. It was a record player. “Austin….” 
Everyone was shocked. “HOLY SHIT THAAT IS NICE, BABE!” 
Nat smiled and handed you another gift. “We both got this for you and Rooster.”
You started to open it. It was a custom vinyl with a picture of you and Bradley on it from your wedding. The vinyl was named “The Bradshaws.” 
“It has music on there that you and Bradley love. From songs you would recommend to each other, songs you dance around to in the house or even out places, and your wedding song.”
You started to cry. “You guys… This is beautiful. Thank you so much!” You got up and went to hug the both of them. “I love this so much. Oh my gosh.” On your way back you gave Bradley a kiss. 
“I’m glad you love it, Darlin. Natasha really helped me out with it. You should really thank her.” He started to laugh. 
Bradley opened the gift for the Boys. “Look at these!” He started to laugh. They were matching onesies that said, “Bro’s for life.” Bradley gave one to Jake to hold against Luke. “Dude they are gonna wear these every day. These are too good. Along with the drinking buddies bibs!” Bradley smiled and held it against little Brad. “Thank you, Uncle Austin.” Bradley made Little Brad wave to him. 
Austin put the tip of his fingers on his lips as he used his other hand to wave to the boys. “I love you, boys.” 
Bradley was last. He opened his gift from Austin and his eyes went wide. “This man has good ass taste.” He held up his sweater, “This looks nice and cozy, man! Thank you!” He reached his hand out for Austin and they interlocked fingers as Bradley shook his hand to show his thanks. 
“I think you would look handsome as hell in that, Bradley.” Austin started to laugh. 
“Oh hell no. I’m right here, Austin.” Jake looked at Austin with furrowed brows. 
Bradley held his hands up to them both. “There is enough daddy to go around. Relax.”
Everyone started to laugh and Nat made a disgusted face. “I’ll Pass.” Everyone started to laugh harder. 
Up next were the gifts that Bradley, You, Leia, the boys, and Gunner got for everyone. Leia handed out the gifts. 
“Uncle Jakey first!” She clapped her hands in excitement. 
“We all get two gifts??” He said excitedly. He started to open the first one. He opened it up and pulled it out. He started to laugh loudly. “I’M A PART OF THE CREW! A CARHART!” He started to laugh. “This one is different, but at least I get to stand out from you nerds.” He put it down and gave all of you hugs and kisses. “Thank you! I love it!” 
Bradley shook his head. “You’re welcome, Bagman. Now opened the other one.” 
Jake started to open the second gift. He bursted into laughter even louder this time. “OH SHIT! NO WAY!” He held up another carhart, “NOW I AM REALLY PART OF THE CREW!” He held up a navy blue jacket that was in the same fit as Bradley’s and Nat’s. “God I love it! Thank you!” He couldn’t stop laughing. 
“Aunt Nix now!!” Leia bounced up and down. 
Nat started to open her first gift. She pulled out a flannel jacket. “Oh this is so cute!!” She was feeling its fabric, “Y/n definitely picked this out.” 
Bradley and you started to laugh. “She most definitely did. She picked it up and was like ‘oh babe! This is totally something Nat would wear!’ And how could I not agree because it definitely is something you’d wear.” 
Nat started to laugh. “I love it!” 
Leia gave Nat her second present. “Now this one!” She watched excitedly as Nat started to unwrap the box. 
“Hey! This one is really nice too!” She pulled out an oversized jean jacket. “This is so cozy and cute!”
Leia jumped up and clapped. “I picked that one for you Aunt Nat! Do you like it!?” She waited excitedly for Nat’s answer. 
“Oh my Leia girl, I love it even more now. Thank you so much, pretty girl.” Nat pulled Leia to her and gave her a kiss on her cheek. “You sure know how to pick good clothes. You must get that from you momma.” She looked over at you and winked. 
“I guess that’s my cue.” Austin laughed and opened his first girl. He pulled out a nice quarter-zip sweater. “You guys just really know my taste don’t ya? This looks comfy!” He felt the inside of the sweater. “Oh, this is so soft! Thank you guys!” 
“Next one Austie!!” Leia pointed to his last gift. 
He opened it and inside was a white sweater. “Oh man, I can layer these! This sweater is so nice! Thank you so much!”
Bradley started to laugh. “I like how we all got each other clothes that we cannot wear while living here because we will sweat so much.”
Everyone started laughing. “We will be ready for cold California when we all get back, but even then San Diego will start warming up again when we are all back.” Jake started to laugh. 
“Okay now you all open your gifts!” Phoenix adjusted in her spot as she got ready to watch all of you exchange gifts and open them.
You started and handed all your gifts out to them. Leia and Bradley opened the gifts for the boys. You got little Bradley and Luke baby blankets. Luke’s was Darth Vader and Brad’s was Grogu. 
“Here you go babies. From momma!” Leia handed each of her brother’s their blankets and they instantly started to play with them. “I think they like them momma!” 
Leia was next. She opened her gift and pulled out a little box. “Momma, what is it?” She looked at it curiously. 
“Open it, babe.” You smiled at her. 
She opened the box and saw a little necklace with a teddy bear on it. “Oh my gosh! It is so cute, momma!” She held it up to show everyone. “Daddy, can you put it on me?” Bradley put it on her neck and you came down next to her. 
“The cool thing about it Leia is that I have one that goes with it.” You showed her yours that you were wearing. “Yours can fit into mine. Watch.” You grabbed your teddy bear and she grabbed hers and her little teddy bear fit right into yours. 
“Momma… I love that.”
You kissed her cheek. “Always linked, Forever loved.” 
She smiled as she looked at both your necklaces together. “Thank you, momma. I love it so much!”
Gunner was passed out in his bed so Bradley opened his gift, “Oh babe you didn’t!” He started to laugh. “You got him a doggy car seat!” He started to bust out laughing. “Now our cars back home will have 4 car seats. Holy shit.” 
Last was Bradley. He opened his gift and his eyes went wide. “OH MY GOD! YESSS!!!” He finished ripping the paper off of the big box. “A DOUBLE BABY CARRIER! I WANTED THIS SO BAD!” Everyone started to laugh. “You guys don’t understand. Once I found out we were having twins I would always send pictures to y/n when she was back home of these things. I wanted one so bad.” He yanked it out of the box and looked at it. “Now I can carry one on my back and one on my chest! SWEET!!!” 
Bradley went over to you and kissed you over and over again. “Thank you so much, baby. It’s just what I wanted!” 
Bradley and Jake started to play around with the carrier. “Oh wait before we try to put this thing together. The Kids and I have presents for momma.” He smiled over to you as him and Leia went to go and grab your gifts.
You were shocked. You weren’t expecting anything, nor did you really want anything. You already had everything you needed and wanted.
Leia handed you your first gift. They were a new pair of platform Converse. You did mention you wanted these and were shocked that they remembered. “Oh, I love them! Thank you guys!” Leia gave you your next one. You shook the box and heard rattling. Bradley looked at you with wide eyes. 
“Holy shit. Be careful, honey.” He started to laugh. 
You unwrapped and opened the box. Inside was a Stanley cup with Star Wars engravings. “HOLY CRAP!” You looked at it in amazement. “How the hell did you get this! It was so limited!” 
Bradley shook his head. “Don’t worry about it, babe. Only the best for you.” He patted Leia’s head and winked at her. Bradley handed you your next gift. 
“Oh my, there is more!” You looked at the next bag with wide eyes. You didn’t expect them to get you so many. This bag felt super light. You took out the tissue paper and inside was a teddy jacket. You screamed. “I wanted this so bad!!!” You thought back to the day you and Bradley were walking around after a date and popped into a store and saw this. You wanted to buy it right then and there but you didn’t. “Oh, thank you so much!” 
Bradley handed you another box. “You guys! This is a lot! Oh my gosh!” You opened the next gift and it was a photo collage. They were polaroids Bradley had saved over time. Some were of you and him in college. At his graduation from boot camp. Pictures with you, Mav, and Penny when you first met. Pictures with him and his parents, you and your parents. From your wedding, from the dates you went on, when Leia was born, and when the boys were born. You, Bradley, and the whole squad back home. You started to tear up. “How did you even get all of these, Brad?” You looked up at him and then back down to the collage. 
He handed little Brad to Austin and came over to you. He kissed your head as you leaned into him. “I had a lot of help, sweetheart.” You and he continued to look at it as you reminisced. “I have another gift. But this one is from all of us.”
Jake and Austin went to the garage to grab your last gift. The guys came in with a Star Wars-themed rocking chair. “OH MY GOSH!” 
You got up still holding the collage and went to go and look at it. “This is so adorable! It’ll be perfect in the boys room!” You went around and gave everyone hugs and kisses. “I love you all so much. Thank you for all of it.” You gave Bradley extra kisses. “Thank you, babe.”
He smiled at you and gave you another kiss on your nose. “Anything for you.” He held you close and kissed your head again. “I do have one more gift for you babe.” 
You looked up at him in shock. “Another gift, Bradley?” You looked at him sadly. “Brad noooo!” He laughed and pulled a little box from the inside of his waistline. “Merry Christmas, sweetheart.”
You opened the little box and inside was a ring. “Bradley… What the hell…” You gasped and couldn’t say another word. Bradley pulled it from the box and asked for your hand. “Bradley….” You started to cry. 
He took his mom’s ring off and placed it into the box. He gave the box to Jake to hold. “Bradley no!” You were trying to reach for the box and he held your hand to him. 
“You will always have my mother’s ring, sweetheart. It’s not going anywhere. I know she would have wanted me to give it to you. Mav always told me my mom left it behind for me so I could give it to the love of my life. And even though it’s such a beautiful gesture and has so much love and meaning behind it. It was a gift from my father to give to my mother to show his love for her. It will always be the symbol of love in my life for me. However, I wanted to get you one that was from me. One that I wanted to pick out specifically for you, to show you my love. A symbol of our love. Forever.” He placed the ring onto your finger and kissed it. “I love you, sweetheart, forever.”
You looked at the ring in amazement. It was definitely bigger and different from Carole’s ring. You grabbed Bradley’s face and kissed him over and over again. “You could have gotten me a ring pop and I would have taken it, Brad. This is so much!” You stated to weep. “I love you, always.” 
Leia jumped around. “Momma and daddy are getting married agaiiiin!!!” You and Bradley started to laugh as she hopped around you both. 
Everyone came to look at the ring. “Jesus that is one beautiful ring!” Nat grabbed your hand and looked at your new ring. “It’s mesmerizing! Look at it, Aus.” She showed your hand to him. 
Austin picked up little Brad and came over. “My oh My. That is so nice. Carole’s ring is just as beautiful, but man this one has it’s own beauty to it.” He patted Bradley’s back with his free hand. “You picked a beautiful ring, Brad.”
Bradley smiled and put his arm over Austin’s shoulders. “Thanks, bud. Anything for my girl. I feel she deserves more than that but when I saw it, I thought it’s as beautiful as her.” Bradley smiled up at you as you blushed. 
Jake came to look at your ring as he held Luke against his hip. “DAMN ROOSTER! That is a METEOR.” He showed your hand to Luke. “Look buddy. College tuition.” 
Nat slapped Jake’s shoulder. “Bagman do you always have to ruin everything. Gosh!” She shook her head and grabbed Luke from his arms. 
Jake started to laugh as he kissed your temple. “I am only kidding, y/n. It’s such a beautiful ring. Bradshaw sure knows how to pick them. So pretty, honey. You make the ring look even better!” He wrapped his arm over your shoulder and patted them. 
Bradley started to laugh. “You are definitely something else, Seresin.” Bradley shook his head and snickered at him. 
“Now. Real question. Where is my ring, Rooster boy?” Jake raised his brows at Bradley.

It had been a couple of more months of getting used to new schedules and adjusting to life. The first Christmas with the boys was new. It was also hard to buy gifts for them because they were constantly growing and becoming interested in something new every week.
———-
Christmas
You and Nat were at the store Christmas shopping for gifts while the men stayed at home with the kiddies. 
“Do you think at least one of us should have stayed back with them to help?” Nat asked as you both sat down to take a break from shopping. 
You thought about it for a second and then shook your head. “No they’ll be fine. Plus we just have a couple of more things to grab and then we can go home while they go out.” You took a deep breath in. “So lets enjoy it.” 
You both laughed and nodded. By the time you were finished you and Nat were more than ready to leave the crowded malls and head home. On the way home you bot sang to Christmas music and danced in the car. 
When you got home, Bradley was putting the boys down for a nap and Austin was putting a jacket on Leia. 
“Where is she going?” You gave Leia a kiss on her cheek. 
“I’m going to go get presents with daddy!” Leia smiled as she slipped her shoes on.
Bradley came over and placed a kiss on your cheek. “The boys are down for a nap, house is clean, and snacks are ready for you and Nix on the counter.” 
You and Nat looked at each other in shock. “Okay… Thank you babe.” You kissed his cheek as he threw his jacket on and they all left.
Nat put the bags down and took her coat off. “Definitely not what I expected to come home to.” She laughed and unpacked the bags. 
You looked around suspicious. “No. Seriously…” You went to give the boys kisses. They were knocked out. 
Nat grabbed some tea for you both and a couple of snacks the guys left behind for you both. “Ready to wrap mama?”
“Yes! Let’s get this done before they wake up and the guys and Leia get home.”
———-
Bradley’s POV 
After we all piled into my truck we were off to grab presents for everyone. Hangman and Austin headed in together to go to different stores to grab gifts. I picked up Leia and gave her a piggy back ride as we headed in to get our gift for you. 
Leia pointed to the little store. “Daddy! There!” 
I bounced a little bit. “Good eye, baby girl. Away we go!” I made plane swooshing noises and bee-lined for the store. She giggled and held onto me tighter. Right when we approached the store, I let her down. 
She ran in and grabbed your first gift. “Daddy! They have it!” She held it above her head and ran over to me. 
“Good job, my little co-pilot. Thank god you’re here. It would have taken daddy forever to find this.” I gave her a kiss on the cheek and picked her up as we made our way to the cash register. 
“Where to next, sir?” Leia climbed around me and clung onto my back again as she held the bag. 
“The sweater now?” I looked back at her.  She nodded against me. 
“Sweater is it! Go daddy!!” She pointed and we headed to the next store. 
As we walked to the next store, I could hear Leia singing to the Christmas music that was playing around the mall. 
-Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas by Frank Sinatra playing-
“Have yourself a merry little Christmas… Make the yuletide gay…from now on, our troubles will be miles away.” 
I smiled and looked over my shoulder. “Don’t be shy, babe. Sing louder so daddy can hear and sing too.” 
“Daddy!” She hid into the crook of my neck. She got shy. 
“Your voice is beautiful, babe!” She shook her head into the back of my neck. I laughed. So I started singing too. 
“Throughout the years, we all will be together… if the fates allow…”
I felt her head peak back out. “Hang a shining star upon the highest bough…”
I gave her a little nudge and together we sung loudly. “And have yourself a marry little christmas now.” 
She rested her chin on my shoulder and leaned her head into the side of mine. We made it to the next store. It took us a while to find the sweater you’ve been wanting, but we eventually found it. Leia hopped back onto my back and we were off to the last store for your last gift.
Leia was humming Happy Xmas by John Lennon and Yoko Ono. She started to sing it softly. 
“A very merry christmas. And a happy new year. Lets hope its a good one. Without any fear.”
And I chimed in. “So this is Christmas. And what have we done?”
She gave a little harmony. “Waaaarrr is overrrrr.” “Andddd if you want ittt.” 
I chuckled as we continued to harmonize together, while navigating through the crowds. After we finished getting your gifts we made a pit stop to the truck to unload and we went back in to the madness to get everyone else’s gifts. 
————-
The next morning, everyone had their gifts all under the star wars themed christmas tree. It was over flowing with gifts. This year it would just be us, plus Nix, Seresin, and Austin. All the adults were up early to get everything set up for the kids. Of course, it was going to be another low-key, cozy holiday in. Everyone had matching PJs to lounge in all day. 
All the adults got everything ready for the kids, more or less Leia. Phoenix took a bite of the cookies that were left out. Hangman drank all the milk. Austin took a bite out of the side of a carrot. Then you and I made some boot prints in snow from the sliding door. 
You sprinkled some flour on the floor and I put on my boots to walk through it. We wanted to give Leia a fun experience for Christmas. Once we all finished we stood around the counter drinking hot cocoa. 
“We forgot one more thing to add to the cookies to make it look for real that Santa was here.” Phoenix walked up to Hangman and yanked one of his hairs out. 
“OW Trace, what the hell?” Hangman grabbed his head and looked at her with an annoyed face. We all started to laugh. 
“Have to have more proof that he was here. A piece of hair will do. Thanks for your cooperation, Bagman.” She placed the hair on the tray by the cookies. 
Hangman was rubbing his head and winced, “You’re lucky that we are doing this for Leia and the boys. I’d do anything for them.” He walked up the stairs to go change into his PJs.
I shook my head and laughed at Phoenix. “Trace, you are definitely something else. but thanks for that.” I raised my hot cocoa to her and then took a sip of it. “Now with that done. I think we should all go get changed. Y/n and I are going to go and get the kids up. 
We all headed upstairs and got ready to spend some time together and to watch the kids open presents. 
———-
The first ones back down stairs were Phoenix and Austin. They sat on the couch and helped put Gunner into his Pjs. 
“Merry Christmas!!!” Leia ran down the stairs with her arms up and yelling. She jumped onto the couch to hug Phoenix and Austin. 
You and I were close behind with the boys in our arms. Baby Brad was still asleep, but Luke was wide awake and giggling in my arms. We were all in our matching elves' pajamas. You and I sat on the couches with the boys fixing their little elf hats. 
“Seresin, hurry the hell up. You’re always first to leave, but last to come back!” I yelled up stairs for him to hurry and come down. 
“I’m Coming!” We could all hear him shuffling up stairs. 
I gave Luke to Phoenix and brought Leia around the house as we waited for Hangman to come down. “Look, sweetheart. Santa was here last night. He ate your cookies you left out and even drank all your milk!” 
Leia looked at all the little bits of evidence with joy and shock. “Daddy! There is even a hair here!!” Leia picked up the hair that was left by the cookie. 
I looked over at Phoenix and saw her and Austin fist bumping over the success of yanking Hangman’s hair out. 
“Can we keep it, daddy?” She looked up at me holding the hair in between her fingers. 
I laughed and nodded. “We sure can, sweetheart.” 
Leia set the hair down carefully on the plate again and saw the trail of boot marks by the sliding door. “DADDY! He came in through the sliding door!” She ran over by the door and looked at the foot prints, “Look!” She was jumping excitedly as she was pointing to the boot marks in the ‘snow.’
I gasped and went to go examine the sight. “He left a mess!”
Leia started to laugh, “We can clean it up after! He was probably in a hurry!” 
I knelt down and kissed her cheek, “I’m sure he was, baby.” I picked her up and brought her back over to the couch. 
“Leia, did you see that the reindeer ate the carrot you left for them?” Austin pointed over to the carrot pile Leia left out the night before. 
She ran over to the carrots and examined them. She held one over her head to show all of us. “OH MY GOSH! THEY DID! I HOPE IT WAS RUDOLPH!” She screamed in excitement and ran back and jumped into my lap. “Do we get to open presents now, daddy?” She smiled up at me. 
I nodded as I wrapped my arms around her. “Yes, but we have to wait for your uncle Jake. He’s still changing into his elf Pjs… and TAKING FOREVER.” I looked up to the steps. “Come on man! Your niece wants to open her presents!” 
Then with that we heard some steps coming down the stairs. We all turned to a sight. 
“HOLY NIGHT.” I furrowed my brows. 
Phoenix started to laugh as she saw hangman come down from the stairs. “I thought we were all wearing elf pajamas??” 
I rolled my eyes. “We were, but I can see Seresin always has a change of plans.” 
You turned away and started to laugh loudly. hangman came down in a Santa suit. But not any Santa suit. THE Santa suit. It had ripped sleeves and an exposed chest. He wore a Santa hat and a beard to finish the ensemble. 
“Holy Sexy Santa.” Austin’s eyes went wide and he looked at Phoenix confused. She started to laugh hard at his comment. 
“HO. HO. HO. Merry Christmas, Bradshaw family!” He came down waving and was holding a present. 
“UNCCLE JAAAKEY!” Leia was pointing and laughing at hangman. She ran to him and gave him a hug. “Is that present for me, uncle Santa?” 
“Oh no, my vapor girl. This is for your dad.” He looked at me as he smiled deviously through the beard. He came over to me as he held the suspicious box in front of him. 
He leaned down to me and whispered, “It’s my cock in a box.” 
Phoenix, you, and Austin started to laugh hard when they heard him. I pinched the bridge of my nose and shook my head. 
“Uncle jakey, why did you get daddy a rooster in a box?”
Hangman blurted out laughing and patted Leia on the head. “Your daddy’s call sign is rooster. It’s only fitting.” 
I rolled my eyes again and shut them as i shook my head. I buried my face into my hands and let out a sigh. I was trying so hard to hold back my laughter. 
“IM JOKING BRADSHAW.” Hangman set the present down under the tree and took a seat across from me with Leia. “It’s for the boys. RELAX.”
I looked at him with wide eyes. “THATS EVEN WORSE.”
He threw his head back and then looked at me annoyed. “Let’s not start.” He started to laugh as i threw a pillow at him. “Alright, with that… Let’s open presents!”

Your POV
Jake was the first one to grab his gifts and handed them out. He handed Austin and Phoenix theirs, then Bradley and Leia, and then gave you yours and gave you one for each of the boys. 
“I hope y’all like everything I’ve got you. And if you don’t, I kept receipts.” He sat back down on the couch by Austin and put his arm up and over around him on the couch. “Well, everyone open ‘em up.” He smiled at all of you.
Nat opened hers and Jake had got her a basket full of goodies. “Oh my gosh, Bagman! I love it!” She pulled out everything one by one, excited with everything she was pulling out. 
“Glad you like it Trace.” He patted Austin’s shoulder, "Now you big man.”
Austin opened his gift, “Jake! Aww man no this is too much. This looks expensive, man.”
Jake shook his head and patted his back. “I saw that flannel and immediately thought of you, dude.”
“Well, thank you. But it’s really so much.” He held it up and looked at the flannel jacket surprised. 
“No problem, Bro.” He looked over at all of you. “Bradshaws, don’t keep me waitin.” He started to laugh as he waited for the 6 of you to open your gifts. He went over and sat by your legs to help you open the boys gift and Gunner’s.
Jake got you and Leia baskets full of stuff similar to Nat’s. You and Leia were excited as you looked through them. 
“Wow, thanks, Jake!” You placed your hand on his shoulder and he patted your hand. 
“Thank you Uncle Jakey!” Leia jumped into his arms as he laughed and kissed her head. 
“For Gunner…” He pulled out three Star Wars toys and threw them at him. Gunner went crazy over them and started to play with them. 
Bradley opened his gift, “Holy Shit, Seresin…” He held up a brown carhart jacket. “This is fucking sweet.” Bradley looked at it all around. “What the hell, dude!” He shoved Jake as they laughed. “Thank you, man. Holy shit.”
Jake laughed, “I saw that and immediately thought of you too.” Jake opened up the gift for the boys. “And now for the Bradshaw boys… the best for last!” He held up the two bibs. “DRINKING BUDDIES!” 
Everyone started to laugh. Jake placed them on the boys and gave them both kisses. Bradley grabbed baby Brad and Jake grabbed Luke. They made them high-five and place them on the floor to sit in front of them. They were able to sit up on their own but just in case either of them fell back there was someone behind them to catch them. 
Up next was Nat. She handed everyone her gifts. She gave the boys’ gift to Bradley to open this time. 
Austin went first, she got him some new shirts. Some long-sleeved ribbed shirts and some short-sleeved collared ribbed shirts. “Aww, babe. I love these! Thank you!” He kissed her cheek and looked at his clothes amazed. 
“I think you would looked so cute in those!” She grabbed one and held it against him. Everyone agreed. Especially the boys. Bradley and Jake kept whistling at him and he started to blush.
Jake opened up his gift next. “Ohhh heeeyyy!!!!! This is nooooiiiiiiiccceeee!” Jake held up his button-up shirt to show everyone. He held it against himself. “Am I as hot as Austin, yet?” He closed his eyes and smiled big while Austin and Bradley whistled at him. 
Bradley pinched Jake’s chest, “Quit it, my wife is right there. She’s gonna get jealous.” They both started to laugh. 
“Damn, thanks Trace! I love it!” Jake started to smell the shirt. 
Nat and Bradley looked at him weird. “Why do you always have to smell everything new you get?” Nat raised a brow at him. 
Jake shrugged. “Tradition? I don’t know?”
Up next was Bradley. He ripped apart the bag. Everyone looked at him with wide eyes as his gift flew up into the air and landed in front of him and little Brad.
“Well shit. I hope it’s not broken…” Phoenix started to laugh. 
Bradley grabbed it and opened up the toiletry bag. “HOLY SHIT! NO WAY! PHE! THANK YOU!” 
He showed everyone what was inside. It was a beard and mustache grooming kit. “I needed a new one! Thank you!”
Nat laughed and shot him her fist. They fist bumped. “Your stache is out of regs. You needed a new one!” Bradley started to laugh as he played with his mustache. 
Leia started to open her huge box carefully. “I don’t want to break it, Aunt Nat..” Leia ripped the wrapping paper delicately. 
Nat started to laugh, “Vapor girl, its okay yours won’t break. I promise.” She shot her a thumbs up. 
“OKAY!” Leia started to rip the paper crazily as she was throwing it everywhere. She opened the big box and gasped. “OH MY GAAAAHHDD!” She yanked out the first bean bag. “I LOVE THESE!!!” She pulled out all the Star Wars-themed bean bags. “I WANNA PUT THEM EVERYWHERE! THANKS AUNT NAT!” Leia ran and jumped on Nat and covered her in kisses. 
“Anything for my Vapor girl.” She pushed Leia’s hair out of her face and gave her a kiss on the cheek. 
Austin opened Gunner’s gift for him. It was a new doggy bed. He brought all his toys to it and laid in it with them. 
You opened your gift from Nat. It was a new necklace. You pulled it from the box and looked at it. It had all of your initials on it. “Oh my gosh! I love this so much! Thank you, Nat!” You looked at each letter, “B,L,L,B,G and a heart!” You held it to your chest and started to tear up. 
Nat started to tear up too, “I am so happy you love it!!” 
Last were the boys. “The best for last!” Nat echoed Jake. Bradley started to open the boys gift. It was in a little basket. He opened the basket and inside were little outfits and goodies for the boys. 
“AWH! These are the cutest things ever, Trace!” Bradley held up the box to show you. 
“Oh my gosh! That is so sweet!!!” You cooed over the box. 
Jake and Bradley made the boys blow kisses to their Aunt Nat and gave them little baby voices. “Thank you Aunt, Nix!”
She smiled and blew kisses back to them. “There is one more!” 
Bradly grabbed the other box and helped little Brad open it, inside was a Star Wars mood light. 
“DUDE! This is so cool! I want this in my room!” Bradley held it up to show everyone. 
“Thank you so much, Trace. These are so nice!” 
Austin was next to grab his gifts and hand them out. “I hope y’all like them. I kinda suck at gifts.” He started to chuckle as he sat back down on the couch. 
Nat started with her gift. She opened it up and pulled it out. She started to laugh and held it against her chest. “Aus, you got me a carhart jacket too!?” She reached over and placed her hand behind his head and pulled him in for a kiss. “Thank you, I love it so much!”
Austin smiled. “Do you actually like it? I remember you told me a long time ago that you’ve always wanted one. And I saw your closet and you still didnt have one until now.” He smiled at her. 
She cooed over his gesture and gave him another kiss. “I love it even more, Aus. Thank you.” 
Jake shook his box. “Did I get one too? So I can join the crew?” He laughed and opened his box. “Oh wait a minute! This is even better!” He held up the toiletry bag and opened it. “OH MAN!” He started to laugh. “Thank you, man! I love this! And also really needed this!” He started to pull out hair products. 
“You take great care of your hair and thought I could get you some more stuff. You looked like you were getting low in the bathroom.” Austin fist-bumped Jake. 
“This man is fucking damn smart. He was snooping around our stuff and got us what we needed!” Jake started to laugh. “Thank you so much dude!” 
Austin gave him a wink and a thumbs up. Next was Leia. “Leia Rey, why don’t you open yours next, sweetheart.” He pinched Leia’s cheek and smiled.
Leia started to open her gift. She squealed and pulled it out of the box. “ITS A ROOSTER!!!” She held the squishmallow above her head. “THANK YOU THANK YOU AUSTIE!” She gave him a kiss and gave her new toy a big hug. 
He pushed Leia’s curls from her forehead and gave it a kiss. “You’re welcome, my sweet girl.”
Austin pulled out a collar from behind him. “I didn’t get to wrap it, but I got this for Gunner.” He got off the couch ad went over to Gunner in his bed and placed a new collar around his neck. “There ya go bud.” He gave his head a few scratches before returning to the couch. 
You opened your next It was a pretty heavy box. “Gosh what is this, Austin?” You started to unwrap it. 
“I thought your house could use one. Here in Hawaii and back home in San Diego.” He smiled as you opened your gift.
“Oh my goodness…” You froze. It was a record player. “Austin….” 
Everyone was shocked. “HOLY SHIT THAAT IS NICE, BABE!” 
Nat smiled and handed you another gift. “We both got this for you and Rooster.”
You started to open it. It was a custom vinyl with a picture of you and Bradley on it from your wedding. The vinyl was named “The Bradshaws.” 
“It has music on there that you and Bradley love. From songs you would recommend to each other, songs you dance around to in the house or even out places, and your wedding song.”
You started to cry. “You guys… This is beautiful. Thank you so much!” You got up and went to hug the both of them. “I love this so much. Oh my gosh.” On your way back you gave Bradley a kiss. 
“I’m glad you love it, Darlin. Natasha really helped me out with it. You should really thank her.” He started to laugh. 
Bradley opened the gift for the Boys. “Look at these!” He started to laugh. They were matching onesies that said, “Bro’s for life.” Bradley gave one to Jake to hold against Luke. “Dude they are gonna wear these every day. These are too good. Along with the drinking buddies bibs!” Bradley smiled and held it against little Brad. “Thank you, Uncle Austin.” Bradley made Little Brad wave to him. 
Austin put the tip of his fingers on his lips as he used his other hand to wave to the boys. “I love you, boys.” 
Bradley was last. He opened his gift from Austin and his eyes went wide. “This man has good ass taste.” He held up his sweater, “This looks nice and cozy, man! Thank you!” He reached his hand out for Austin and they interlocked fingers as Bradley shook his hand to show his thanks. 
“I think you would look handsome as hell in that, Bradley.” Austin started to laugh. 
“Oh hell no. I’m right here, Austin.” Jake looked at Austin with furrowed brows. 
Bradley held his hands up to them both. “There is enough daddy to go around. Relax.”
Everyone started to laugh and Nat made a disgusted face. “I’ll Pass.” Everyone started to laugh harder. 
Up next were the gifts that Bradley, You, Leia, the boys, and Gunner got for everyone. Leia handed out the gifts. 
“Uncle Jakey first!” She clapped her hands in excitement. 
“We all get two gifts??” He said excitedly. He started to open the first one. He opened it up and pulled it out. He started to laugh loudly. “I’M A PART OF THE CREW! A CARHART!” He started to laugh. “This one is different, but at least I get to stand out from you nerds.” He put it down and gave all of you hugs and kisses. “Thank you! I love it!” 
Bradley shook his head. “You’re welcome, Bagman. Now opened the other one.” 
Jake started to open the second gift. He bursted into laughter even louder this time. “OH SHIT! NO WAY!” He held up another carhart, “NOW I AM REALLY PART OF THE CREW!” He held up a navy blue jacket that was in the same fit as Bradley’s and Nat’s. “God I love it! Thank you!” He couldn’t stop laughing. 
“Aunt Nix now!!” Leia bounced up and down. 
Nat started to open her first gift. She pulled out a flannel jacket. “Oh this is so cute!!” She was feeling its fabric, “Y/n definitely picked this out.” 
Bradley and you started to laugh. “She most definitely did. She picked it up and was like ‘oh babe! This is totally something Nat would wear!’ And how could I not agree because it definitely is something you’d wear.” 
Nat started to laugh. “I love it!” 
Leia gave Nat her second present. “Now this one!” She watched excitedly as Nat started to unwrap the box. 
“Hey! This one is really nice too!” She pulled out an oversized jean jacket. “This is so cozy and cute!”
Leia jumped up and clapped. “I picked that one for you Aunt Nat! Do you like it!?” She waited excitedly for Nat’s answer. 
“Oh my Leia girl, I love it even more now. Thank you so much, pretty girl.” Nat pulled Leia to her and gave her a kiss on her cheek. “You sure know how to pick good clothes. You must get that from you momma.” She looked over at you and winked. 
“I guess that’s my cue.” Austin laughed and opened his first girl. He pulled out a nice quarter-zip sweater. “You guys just really know my taste don’t ya? This looks comfy!” He felt the inside of the sweater. “Oh, this is so soft! Thank you guys!” 
“Next one Austie!!” Leia pointed to his last gift. 
He opened it and inside was a white sweater. “Oh man, I can layer these! This sweater is so nice! Thank you so much!”
Bradley started to laugh. “I like how we all got each other clothes that we cannot wear while living here because we will sweat so much.”
Everyone started laughing. “We will be ready for cold California when we all get back, but even then San Diego will start warming up again when we are all back.” Jake started to laugh. 
“Okay now you all open your gifts!” Phoenix adjusted in her spot as she got ready to watch all of you exchange gifts and open them.
You started and handed all your gifts out to them. Leia and Bradley opened the gifts for the boys. You got little Bradley and Luke baby blankets. Luke’s was Darth Vader and Brad’s was Grogu. 
“Here you go babies. From momma!” Leia handed each of her brother’s their blankets and they instantly started to play with them. “I think they like them momma!” 
Leia was next. She opened her gift and pulled out a little box. “Momma, what is it?” She looked at it curiously. 
“Open it, babe.” You smiled at her. 
She opened the box and saw a little necklace with a teddy bear on it. “Oh my gosh! It is so cute, momma!” She held it up to show everyone. “Daddy, can you put it on me?” Bradley put it on her neck and you came down next to her. 
“The cool thing about it Leia is that I have one that goes with it.” You showed her yours that you were wearing. “Yours can fit into mine. Watch.” You grabbed your teddy bear and she grabbed hers and her little teddy bear fit right into yours. 
“Momma… I love that.”
You kissed her cheek. “Always linked, Forever loved.” 
She smiled as she looked at both your necklaces together. “Thank you, momma. I love it so much!”
Gunner was passed out in his bed so Bradley opened his gift, “Oh babe you didn’t!” He started to laugh. “You got him a doggy car seat!” He started to bust out laughing. “Now our cars back home will have 4 car seats. Holy shit.” 
Last was Bradley. He opened his gift and his eyes went wide. “OH MY GOD! YESSS!!!” He finished ripping the paper off of the big box. “A DOUBLE BABY CARRIER! I WANTED THIS SO BAD!” Everyone started to laugh. “You guys don’t understand. Once I found out we were having twins I would always send pictures to y/n when she was back home of these things. I wanted one so bad.” He yanked it out of the box and looked at it. “Now I can carry one on my back and one on my chest! SWEET!!!” 
Bradley went over to you and kissed you over and over again. “Thank you so much, baby. It’s just what I wanted!” 
Bradley and Jake started to play around with the carrier. “Oh wait before we try to put this thing together. The Kids and I have presents for momma.” He smiled over to you as him and Leia went to go and grab your gifts.
You were shocked. You weren’t expecting anything, nor did you really want anything. You already had everything you needed and wanted.
Leia handed you your first gift. They were a new pair of platform Converse. You did mention you wanted these and were shocked that they remembered. “Oh, I love them! Thank you guys!” Leia gave you your next one. You shook the box and heard rattling. Bradley looked at you with wide eyes. 
“Holy shit. Be careful, honey.” He started to laugh. 
You unwrapped and opened the box. Inside was a Stanley cup with Star Wars engravings. “HOLY CRAP!” You looked at it in amazement. “How the hell did you get this! It was so limited!” 
Bradley shook his head. “Don’t worry about it, babe. Only the best for you.” He patted Leia’s head and winked at her. Bradley handed you your next gift. 
“Oh my, there is more!” You looked at the next bag with wide eyes. You didn’t expect them to get you so many. This bag felt super light. You took out the tissue paper and inside was a teddy jacket. You screamed. “I wanted this so bad!!!” You thought back to the day you and Bradley were walking around after a date and popped into a store and saw this. You wanted to buy it right then and there but you didn’t. “Oh, thank you so much!” 
Bradley handed you another box. “You guys! This is a lot! Oh my gosh!” You opened the next gift and it was a photo collage. They were polaroids Bradley had saved over time. Some were of you and him in college. At his graduation from boot camp. Pictures with you, Mav, and Penny when you first met. Pictures with him and his parents, you and your parents. From your wedding, from the dates you went on, when Leia was born, and when the boys were born. You, Bradley, and the whole squad back home. You started to tear up. “How did you even get all of these, Brad?” You looked up at him and then back down to the collage. 
He handed little Brad to Austin and came over to you. He kissed your head as you leaned into him. “I had a lot of help, sweetheart.” You and he continued to look at it as you reminisced. “I have another gift. But this one is from all of us.”
Jake and Austin went to the garage to grab your last gift. The guys came in with a Star Wars-themed rocking chair. “OH MY GOSH!” 
You got up still holding the collage and went to go and look at it. “This is so adorable! It’ll be perfect in the boys room!” You went around and gave everyone hugs and kisses. “I love you all so much. Thank you for all of it.” You gave Bradley extra kisses. “Thank you, babe.”
He smiled at you and gave you another kiss on your nose. “Anything for you.” He held you close and kissed your head again. “I do have one more gift for you babe.” 
You looked up at him in shock. “Another gift, Bradley?” You looked at him sadly. “Brad noooo!” He laughed and pulled a little box from the inside of his waistline. “Merry Christmas, sweetheart.”
You opened the little box and inside was a ring. “Bradley… What the hell…” You gasped and couldn’t say another word. Bradley pulled it from the box and asked for your hand. “Bradley….” You started to cry. 
He took his mom’s ring off and placed it into the box. He gave the box to Jake to hold. “Bradley no!” You were trying to reach for the box and he held your hand to him. 
“You will always have my mother’s ring, sweetheart. It’s not going anywhere. I know she would have wanted me to give it to you. Mav always told me my mom left it behind for me so I could give it to the love of my life. And even though it’s such a beautiful gesture and has so much love and meaning behind it. It was a gift from my father to give to my mother to show his love for her. It will always be the symbol of love in my life for me. However, I wanted to get you one that was from me. One that I wanted to pick out specifically for you, to show you my love. A symbol of our love. Forever.” He placed the ring onto your finger and kissed it. “I love you, sweetheart, forever.”
You looked at the ring in amazement. It was definitely bigger and different from Carole’s ring. You grabbed Bradley’s face and kissed him over and over again. “You could have gotten me a ring pop and I would have taken it, Brad. This is so much!” You stated to weep. “I love you, always.” 
Leia jumped around. “Momma and daddy are getting married agaiiiin!!!” You and Bradley started to laugh as she hopped around you both. 
Everyone came to look at the ring. “Jesus that is one beautiful ring!” Nat grabbed your hand and looked at your new ring. “It’s mesmerizing! Look at it, Aus.” She showed your hand to him. 
Austin picked up little Brad and came over. “My oh My. That is so nice. Carole’s ring is just as beautiful, but man this one has it’s own beauty to it.” He patted Bradley’s back with his free hand. “You picked a beautiful ring, Brad.”
Bradley smiled and put his arm over Austin’s shoulders. “Thanks, bud. Anything for my girl. I feel she deserves more than that but when I saw it, I thought it’s as beautiful as her.” Bradley smiled up at you as you blushed. 
Jake came to look at your ring as he held Luke against his hip. “DAMN ROOSTER! That is a METEOR.” He showed your hand to Luke. “Look buddy. College tuition.” 
Nat slapped Jake’s shoulder. “Bagman do you always have to ruin everything. Gosh!” She shook her head and grabbed Luke from his arms. 
Jake started to laugh as he kissed your temple. “I am only kidding, y/n. It’s such a beautiful ring. Bradshaw sure knows how to pick them. So pretty, honey. You make the ring look even better!” He wrapped his arm over your shoulder and patted them. 
Bradley started to laugh. “You are definitely something else, Seresin.” Bradley shook his head and snickered at him. 
“Now. Real question. Where is my ring, Rooster boy?” Jake raised his brows at Bradley.

Bradley’s POV
It has been a month since Leia’s 7th birthday. Mav, Penny, and Amelia had stayed for the remainder of the party but had to return back that night because Mav had to make it back for flight plans with Cyclone and Warlock. 
It was another long week at work. More paperwork to push, classes to teach, meetings, and training. I was exhausted again and couldn’t wait to get home to take off my boots and uniform. I felt like my feet were melted into the soles of my boots. I was walking out to the truck when Phantom stopped me. 
“Bradshaw!” He was jogging over to me with his hand up. 
I turned around and smiled as I stopped and waited for him. I reached my hand out to shake his. I hadn’t seen him in a while since I hadn’t been working on the tarmac with the planes. Then when I got off I was heavily involved with my kids, all six of them. The last time I saw him was at Leia’s birthday party. 
“Sir, how are you?” I shook his hand and he pulled me in for a hug. 
“I’m doing great. How are you doing? How are Leia and the boys doing?” He smiled as he patted me on the back.
I nodded and sighed, “I’m hanging in there. Getting back into the flow of working, especially being a senior officer now, is a little tricky and dawning, but worth it. I am a little frustrated with myself about my training. It is taking me a lot longer to get into the groove of things than I thought.” I sighed and bit my lip. 
He patted my back and sighed. “Hey. Bradley.” I looked up at him and he nodded. “You’re doing a great job. Don’t beat yourself up. You’ve only been back to work fully for a month. You’re doing an outstanding job as a senior officer. Probably one of the best ones I’ve got.” He started to laugh. “Don’t tell any of the others that.” He smiled at me. “And when it comes to the training, take your time. It will come with lots and lots of practice. Just like it did when you first started flying. It took you 2 years to prepare to fly the way you fly. You are only months into this, Bradley. You have so much more time.” 
I nodded and gave him a smirk. “Thank you, sir. It’s just hard to not be flying. I’m trying so hard to get back to it because it’s what I was made for.”
He shook his head at me and closed his eyes, “Bradley Nicolas Bradshaw. You were made to be a great husband, father, best friend, and son. After that, then a pilot. You are doing every single one of those things and I know your mom and dad would be proud of you. I know Mitchell, Evelyn, and I are so proud of you.” 
I looked down and looked back up at him with the sting in the back of my eyes. I wasn’t going to cry, but it was nice to hear he was proud of me. “Thank you for that, sir.”
He smiled and gave me a hug, “I’ll always be here for you, Bradley. Always.” He patted me hard on my back and pulled back to look at me, “Now go get yourself home and enjoy your days off. You deserve it, kiddo.”
I shook his hand and nodded. “I’ll see you on Monday, sir. Enjoy your weekend as well.” 
He winked over at me and pointed, “Evelyn, the girls, and I might be over this weekend. To offer our help with your very full house-hold.” 
“I’ll look forward to it, sir.” I laughed before I got into the truck to go home. 
 ———-
I finally pulled into the drive way of the house and sighed. It felt good to be back home after a long day at work. Being with all of you always brought a smile to my face. When I walked into the house you were all alone and it was silent. 
“Sweetheart?” You were laying back on the couch. You looked up and smiled at me. 
“Hey, Brad.” You sat up and welcomed me over. 
“Where is everyone at?” I sat next to you and started to untie my boots. “They all outside?” 
You shook your head and smiled. “They all went out. Jake and Nat came home early today…”
I cut you off, “Lucky them.” I started to laugh. 
You chuckled and placed your arm around my shoulders, “They came home early, so they and Austin took the kids out to give momma some quiet time. Such a sweet gesture. I was going to go out and grocery shop. Restock the house for everything, but they said they got it all covered and for me just to sit here and relax.” 
I kicked off my boots and wrapped my arm over your shoulders. “Well that was awfully sweet of them. How has mommy’s quiet time been?” I kissed your cheek. 
You plugged your nose and laughed. “It was very quiet and smelt nice until right now. Mr. Bradshaw you need a shower.” 
I laughed and shook my head. “I did workout before I left and the AC in my office has been broken so, I was sweating like a pig, sweetheart.” I kissed your head hard. “I’ll go and shower and come back down. See what you’re up to.” I smiled and poked your nose. “I’ll miss you!” 
I could hear you laughing and plop back down on the couch as i ran up the stairs to clean up and get out of my uniform. I jumped in the shower and scrubbed down. I wanted to make sure I smelt good for you. I got out and brushed my hair back as I dried off. I threw on some grey sweats and a white t-shirt. I ran back down stairs and you were watching TV on the couch. I smiled and plopped down hard next to you. 
I placed a hard kiss against your hair. “What are we watching, sweetheart?” I threw my arm around your shoulder and pulled you into my side. You nestled into my shoulder. 
“Just watching Star Wars. The usual.” You giggled. We sat there and watch it for a while. “Did you want to go out and do anything, Brad?” You placed your hand on my chest and looked up at me. 
I continued to watch Anakin and Obi-Wan fight. “We can do whatever you feel like, babe.” I smiled and looked over at you. I kissed your forehead. “What do you feel like doing? You wanna go out and go on a date?” I raised my brows at you.
Your eyes went wide, “Bradley Bradshaw, are you asking me on a date?” You smirked at me and raised a brow. 
I grabbed your hand and interlocked our fingers. I chuckled and nodded. “I am. Y/n Bradshaw, will you go on a date with me?” 
You started to laugh and took your hand away from mine. You slapped my chest, “You are so cheesy, Brad.” You pushed off of my chest and got up. you reached your hand out for mine and smiled. “I would love to go on a date with you.” 
I smiled up at you and grabbed your hand. I stood up and we ran upstairs together to get ready. “We are such children!” I laughed and dragged you up the stairs to our closet.
We decided we wanted to surprise each other so we both dressed accordingly and would get ready and then present ourselves to one another. The date was super casual so we both decided to be comfortable. 
We were going to go and get dinner and then go for a walk on the beach and then the pier. 
I opted for a Rolling Stones t shirt and some dark blue jeans. I got out of the closet and slipped my ring on and put on my chain. I combed my mustache and gave it a little trim before I started to fix my hair. 
You stepped out of the closet and cleared your throat. “Ready!”
I turned around and started to chuckle. “No way.” 
You started to laugh as we looked at each other. You came out in a Radiohead T-shirt and light blue jeans. “I guess we both have the same super comfy causal taste.” You looked at me with wide eyes. 
I looked at the T-shirt and raised my brows. “Sweetheart, is that the shirt I got you back in college?” I got closer and took a better look at it. “Holy shit! It is!” I looked up at you and smiled. “You look so good, honey.” I kissed your cheeks and your forehead. 
“I can’t believe it still fits. Three kids later.” You smiled and kissed my hand. “You went to a concert with Mav. I couldn’t come because of finals, so you brought me back this shirt.” 
I looked down at you with amazement. “I can’t believe you kept it. Was sure you burned everything that I ever gave you.” I started to laugh loudly. 
You rolled your eyes. “Shut up, Bradshaw.” You smiled and grabbed my hand to lead me back down stairs. 
We both put on some converse and headed out the door. I opened your door to the truck and helped you in. I kissed your cheek and fastened your seatbelt before closing the door. I hopped into the car and smiled at you. “You ready for a date night?”
You smiled and nodded. I grabbed your hand and drove to out first destination. The Lanai At Mamala Bay. 
———-
We drove up to the restaurant and I hopped down from the truck. I ran over to your side to open the door and help you down. “After you, sweetheart.” I closed your door behind you and grabbed your hand as we made it in. We opted to sit outside on the balcony and they brought us out to our seats. 
It was a beautiful view of the beach and a small dock where a couple of boats were anchored. We ordered out food and enjoyed out time together. 
“What do you think the kiddies are doing?” You looked out to the ocean taking in the new scenery. 
I sipped my water and cleared my throat. “I think the three Bradbabies are all making their Aunt and Uncles life a living hell. Especially if the boys are shitting themselves and Hangman has to change them.” I started to laugh.
You looked over at me with squinted eyes. “You think we should call them and make sure everything is okay?” 
I nodded. “I thought you’d never ask.” I whooped out my phone and dialed Austin’s cell. You scooted your chair next to me and we anxiously waited for an answer. 
“Hey, mom and dad!” Austin laughed as he waved to the both of you. 
You and Bradley both waved back to him. “Hey!” 
You grabbed Bradley’s phone. “Where are my kids!” You said excitedly.
Austin held his phone up to show you he was holding Luke in his lap and giving him a bottle, while Phoenix had Bradley and was doing the same. She waved at you and made little Brad wave to you as well.
“Oh my goodness! The boys look so cute!” You were cooing over them and I scooted next to you so I could get a quick look as well. 
“My boys! Where is Leia Rey?”
Austin flipped the camera and it showed that they were at the park. You could see Leia running around with Hangman by the play structure. 
Austin flipped the phone back to himself and Luke. 
“Is everything going okay with the kiddos?” You asked with a bog smile. 
Austin nodded and gave you a quick thumbs up. “Perfect! They’re all enjoying themselves and having a great time. We took a quick break from errands to give the kids some play time.”
You sighed in relief that everything was okay. “I miss them!” You made a sad pouty face. 
Austin chuckled. “They miss you too. But enjoy yourself. Have fun! You’ll see them later on!”
You nodded and looked at me. We both waved goodbye and I put my phone away, just in time for when our food arrived for us. 
We ate our lunch and caught up with one another. I felt like we hadn’t had a conversation with each other in a long time. Even though we lived together and were always together when I wasn’t away at work. 
After we ate, We went to go and walk along the shore line on the beach. I grabbed your hand and pulled you into my side. I wrapped my arm over your shoulders and placed a kiss to you temple. We were enjoying the quiet. The sand crunching under our bare feet and the waved crashing in on one another. It was nice. The sun was out and there was a slight breeze. I looked down at you. You interlocked your fingers with mine and looked out at the ocean. You were smiling so big. The sun was hitting your face and it made you glow, while the breeze blew your hair back slightly. How did I get so lucky?
I squeezed your hand and you looked up at me and smiled. “I’ve missed our alone time, sweetheart.” You giggled. “What?” I smiled at you. “I feel like we have been so busy with our lives this last year together.”
You nodded slowly, “It has been pretty hectic and busy, but I like it.” You smiled up at me.
“As long as it’s with you. Hectic, busy, slow, boring. Doesn’t matter. All that matters is I have you and the kids, Brad.” 
I leaned down and gave you a kiss. “If you keep being mushy like this we will have a fourth before the end of the year.” 
Your eyes went wide and you shook your head. “Clam down, Bradshaw. Let’s see if you can handle all three on your own before you say that.” You smiled. 
I sighed, “Oh honey, if you only knew…” I started to laugh to myself. 
———-
Another month passed by and the boys were getting bigger and bigger. They were two almost 3 months old and the doctors said they were both the equivalent and in the percentage range for an infant that was 6 months old. The boys were learning so fast and growing to be huge. Not only the boys, but Leia as well. 
“Okay, baby boy.” I wrapped a towel around Luke as he giggled. “All done buddy.” I smiled as I brought him over to the bed where you were finishing up dressing little Brad. I kissed your cheek, “Got him babe?”
You nodded, “I do. Thank you.” You smiled at me.
I started to run the bath water warm. “Leia Rey, bath time, sweetheart.” I called out for Leia. 
I heard her foot steps running through the hallway to our room. “Braddie, Lukey-bear.” She placed kissed on her brother’s heads before she came over to me. She looked into the bath tub as the water started to fill up. “Daddy, do you think I could try by myself?” 
I looked up at her and then over to you. You and I both had our eyebrows raised. I looked back at Leia. “You wanna give yourself a bath?” 
She smiled and nodded, “I’m not a little baby anymore, daddy.”
I pushed my lips together and nodded sadly. “You’re absolutely right.” I touched her hair behind her ear. I sighed. 
“Daddy, I start first grade tomorrow. I’m practically an adult.” She raised her brows at me trying to convince me.
I started to laugh. “An adult??” I squinted my eyes at her. “Okay little Miss Leia Bradshaw, the adult. You can give yourself a bath.” I laughed as I handed her her towel and wash cloth. I stood up and patted her head. “I’m gonna help momma with your brothers, sweetheart. I’ll be right over there if you need any help.” I kissed her head. 
“I don’t need help, daddy! I got it!” 
I pushed my lips together again and nodded. “Okay, Leia Rey.” I started to walk away. I stopped and looked back one more time as she was turning off the water. 
She gestured for me to get out of the bathroom. So I nodded and proceeded to walk over to you and the boys. I sat on the edge of the bed staring into space. You were finishing up with Luke. 
“Kicked you out, huh daddy?” You giggled. 
I sighed. “Yup. She doesn’t need me anymore.” I dropped my head and acted like I was crying. You started to laugh as you handed Little Brad to me. 
“Maybe she doesn’t, but you still have two more that do.” You started to laugh as you placed Luke’s arms into his onesie. 
I held Brad in front of me as he smiled at me with his fist in his mouth. “You need daddy right?” He giggled and squealed as he kicked his feet. “Good. Cause sissy doesn’t. At least I have you boys.” I attacked him with kissed and he squealed even louder. I placed him against my chest and rubbed his back. 
“Daddy!” 
You and I looked at each other and you gestured towards the bathroom. I placed Brad on his tummy as I made my way back into the bathroom. I peaked in and raised my brows. “You rang?”
“Daddy, I need help into the tub.” Leia stood there with her arms crossed.
I started to laugh as I entered into the bathroom. “But I thought you were an adult and didn’t need me anymore?” I said as I walked over to her. I crossed my arms.
“Daddy, I still need your help, please. Even if I am an adult.” She gave me her puppy dog eyes as she continued to cross her arms. 
I laughed and kissed her cheek before picking her up and placing her into the tub. “I will always be here to help you, Leia Rey. EVEN when you are an adult.” I kissed her cheek even harder before I left the bathroom again. 
“Thanks daddy! I Love you!” 
I looked back and smiled. “I love you, sweetheart.” As I started to walk out she called for me again. 
“Daddy, wait…” I turned around. “Maybe one more bath as a baby adult? I don’t know what to do…” 
I laughed and made my way back over to her. I messed her hair up a little as I knelt in front of the tub. “Of course, sweetheart.” 
————-
The next morning, Phoenix, Hangman, and I were all off. We were going to all be able to see Leia off for her first day of first grade. The house slowly turned into chaos. 
Hangman, Phoenix, and me were all downstairs drinking our coffee by 0600. I had already fed, changed, and put Brad and Luke back to sleep a little longer before we all piled into the car to bring Leia to school. Austin was up and out with Gunner for his morning business run. 
“Are you ready to have a first grader, Bradshaw?” Phoenix asked before sipping her coffee.
“Ready or not, I have one.” I sighed as I placed my mug onto the counter. 
Hangman cleared his throat and set his mug down. “Before you know it, you’ll have a 7th grader and the boys will be in kindergarten for their first day.” He started to laugh.
I winced thinking about it and shook my head. “Bagman. Can you shut up for 5 minutes.” I pinched the bridge of my nose thinking about it. Cause in reality that was not far away.
He put his hands up in confusion. “That was the first thing I’ve said all morning?”
I put my hand up to him and nodded. “And that would be all, please.”
Him and Phoenix started to laugh at me as I came to more and more realization that I am going to blink and that day would be here.
Austin came into the house with Gunner. “What’d I miss? Why does Bradley look distressed again?”
Phoenix and Hangman started to laugh harder and I felt like I was hungover. 
———-
Who would have thought that just in an hour that calm moment would turn into what it did. You and I were in the room trying to get Leia and the boys ready to go. Once the boys were ready Phoenix and Austin came in to grab them while we tried to get ourselves ready along with Leia. The boys were hungry, They are always hungry per my appetite, so Nix and Austin were rushing to get them a bottle. Leia couldn't decided how she wanted her hair. You were ironing her uniform. Hangman was downstairs trying to figure out a lunch for Leia. Gunner was whining because the boys were upset. It was a very busy morning. 
When everything finally started to settle. We loaded everyone into the trucks and were off. In our truck, it was you, the boys, Leia, and Me. In Hangman’s truck, him, Gunner, Austin, and Nix. 
You and I took a deep breath and I grabbed your hand. You looked at me with wide eyes. “When we get home. We prep everything for tomorrow morning.” 
I nodded and we both laughed. “I agree, honey.”
We all arrived at the school. Hangman came over and got Leia down from the car. Austin and Phoenix had Gunner. You and I got the boys down from the car. Once we were all out, we walked into the school. Leia saw a bunch of her friends and ran to them to give them hugs. We saw a couple of our pilots there dropping their kids off and we all made small talk. 
“Uncle Jakey, remember when you all picked me up from school that one time with music and you were all in your flight suits?” 
Jake started to laugh, “I remember that. Do you guys remember that?”
Phoenix and I started to laugh, “How could I forget?”
You looked at me confused, “You guys did what?”
I laughed, “Nothing, sweetheart.” You shook your head at me. 
We arrived at her classroom and we all said our good-byes to her. She was so excited. Jake grabbed the boys from you and I. You gave Leia a kiss and a hug. 
I knelt down and kissed her forehead. “I love you, Leia. Have a great day at school. And remember.”
She nodded. “Don’t think. Just do.” She was ready to salute me. 
I grabbed her hand and laughed. I shook my head, “Remember to have fun, babe.” I pinched her cheek and she laughed. 
“Ohhh. Right…” She started to turn red. She jumped into my embrace. 
“Have a great first day, sweetheart.”

Bradley’s POV
It has been a month since Leia’s 7th birthday. Mav, Penny, and Amelia had stayed for the remainder of the party but had to return back that night because Mav had to make it back for flight plans with Cyclone and Warlock. 
It was another long week at work. More paperwork to push, classes to teach, meetings, and training. I was exhausted again and couldn’t wait to get home to take off my boots and uniform. I felt like my feet were melted into the soles of my boots. I was walking out to the truck when Phantom stopped me. 
“Bradshaw!” He was jogging over to me with his hand up. 
I turned around and smiled as I stopped and waited for him. I reached my hand out to shake his. I hadn’t seen him in a while since I hadn’t been working on the tarmac with the planes. Then when I got off I was heavily involved with my kids, all six of them. The last time I saw him was at Leia’s birthday party. 
“Sir, how are you?” I shook his hand and he pulled me in for a hug. 
“I’m doing great. How are you doing? How are Leia and the boys doing?” He smiled as he patted me on the back.
I nodded and sighed, “I’m hanging in there. Getting back into the flow of working, especially being a senior officer now, is a little tricky and dawning, but worth it. I am a little frustrated with myself about my training. It is taking me a lot longer to get into the groove of things than I thought.” I sighed and bit my lip. 
He patted my back and sighed. “Hey. Bradley.” I looked up at him and he nodded. “You’re doing a great job. Don’t beat yourself up. You’ve only been back to work fully for a month. You’re doing an outstanding job as a senior officer. Probably one of the best ones I’ve got.” He started to laugh. “Don’t tell any of the others that.” He smiled at me. “And when it comes to the training, take your time. It will come with lots and lots of practice. Just like it did when you first started flying. It took you 2 years to prepare to fly the way you fly. You are only months into this, Bradley. You have so much more time.” 
I nodded and gave him a smirk. “Thank you, sir. It’s just hard to not be flying. I’m trying so hard to get back to it because it’s what I was made for.”
He shook his head at me and closed his eyes, “Bradley Nicolas Bradshaw. You were made to be a great husband, father, best friend, and son. After that, then a pilot. You are doing every single one of those things and I know your mom and dad would be proud of you. I know Mitchell, Evelyn, and I are so proud of you.” 
I looked down and looked back up at him with the sting in the back of my eyes. I wasn’t going to cry, but it was nice to hear he was proud of me. “Thank you for that, sir.”
He smiled and gave me a hug, “I’ll always be here for you, Bradley. Always.” He patted me hard on my back and pulled back to look at me, “Now go get yourself home and enjoy your days off. You deserve it, kiddo.”
I shook his hand and nodded. “I’ll see you on Monday, sir. Enjoy your weekend as well.” 
He winked over at me and pointed, “Evelyn, the girls, and I might be over this weekend. To offer our help with your very full house-hold.” 
“I’ll look forward to it, sir.” I laughed before I got into the truck to go home. 
 ———-
I finally pulled into the drive way of the house and sighed. It felt good to be back home after a long day at work. Being with all of you always brought a smile to my face. When I walked into the house you were all alone and it was silent. 
“Sweetheart?” You were laying back on the couch. You looked up and smiled at me. 
“Hey, Brad.” You sat up and welcomed me over. 
“Where is everyone at?” I sat next to you and started to untie my boots. “They all outside?” 
You shook your head and smiled. “They all went out. Jake and Nat came home early today…”
I cut you off, “Lucky them.” I started to laugh. 
You chuckled and placed your arm around my shoulders, “They came home early, so they and Austin took the kids out to give momma some quiet time. Such a sweet gesture. I was going to go out and grocery shop. Restock the house for everything, but they said they got it all covered and for me just to sit here and relax.” 
I kicked off my boots and wrapped my arm over your shoulders. “Well that was awfully sweet of them. How has mommy’s quiet time been?” I kissed your cheek. 
You plugged your nose and laughed. “It was very quiet and smelt nice until right now. Mr. Bradshaw you need a shower.”

I held Brad in front of me as he smiled at me with his fist in his mouth. “You need daddy right?” He giggled and squealed as he kicked his feet. “Good. Cause sissy doesn’t. At least I have you boys.” I attacked him with kissed and he squealed even louder. I placed him against my chest and rubbed his back. 
“Daddy!” 
You and I looked at each other and you gestured towards the bathroom. I placed Brad on his tummy as I made my way back into the bathroom. I peaked in and raised my brows. “You rang?”
“Daddy, I need help into the tub.” Leia stood there with her arms crossed.
I started to laugh as I entered into the bathroom. “But I thought you were an adult and didn’t need me anymore?” I said as I walked over to her. I crossed my arms.
“Daddy, I still need your help, please. Even if I am an adult.” She gave me her puppy dog eyes as she continued to cross her arms. 
I laughed and kissed her cheek before picking her up and placing her into the tub. “I will always be here to help you, Leia Rey. EVEN when you are an adult.” I kissed her cheek even harder before I left the bathroom again. 
“Thanks daddy! I Love you!” 
I looked back and smiled. “I love you, sweetheart.” As I started to walk out she called for me again. 
“Daddy, wait…” I turned around. “Maybe one more bath as a baby adult? I don’t know what to do…” 
I laughed and made my way back over to her. I messed her hair up a little as I knelt in front of the tub. “Of course, sweetheart.” 
————-
The next morning, Phoenix, Hangman, and I were all off. We were going to all be able to see Leia off for her first day of first grade. The house slowly turned into chaos. 
Hangman, Phoenix, and me were all downstairs drinking our coffee by 0600. I had already fed, changed, and put Brad and Luke back to sleep a little longer before we all piled into the car to bring Leia to school. Austin was up and out with Gunner for his morning business run. 
“Are you ready to have a first grader, Bradshaw?” Phoenix asked before sipping her coffee.
“Ready or not, I have one.” I sighed as I placed my mug onto the counter. 
Hangman cleared his throat and set his mug down. “Before you know it, you’ll have a 7th grader and the boys will be in kindergarten for their first day.” He started to laugh.
I winced thinking about it and shook my head. “Bagman. Can you shut up for 5 minutes.” I pinched the bridge of my nose thinking about it. Cause in reality that was not far away.
He put his hands up in confusion. “That was the first thing I’ve said all morning?”
I put my hand up to him and nodded. “And that would be all, please.”
Him and Phoenix started to laugh at me as I came to more and more realization that I am going to blink and that day would be here.
Austin came into the house with Gunner. “What’d I miss? Why does Bradley look distressed again?”
Phoenix and Hangman started to laugh harder and I felt like I was hungover. 
———-
Who would have thought that just in an hour that calm moment would turn into what it did. You and I were in the room trying to get Leia and the boys ready to go. Once the boys were ready Phoenix and Austin came in to grab them while we tried to get ourselves ready along with Leia. The boys were hungry, They are always hungry per my appetite, so Nix and Austin were rushing to get them a bottle. Leia couldn't decided how she wanted her hair. You were ironing her uniform. Hangman was downstairs trying to figure out a lunch for Leia. Gunner was whining because the boys were upset. It was a very busy morning. 
When everything finally started to settle. We loaded everyone into the trucks and were off. In our truck, it was you, the boys, Leia, and Me. In Hangman’s truck, him, Gunner, Austin, and Nix. 
You and I took a deep breath and I grabbed your hand. You looked at me with wide eyes. “When we get home. We prep everything for tomorrow morning.” 
I nodded and we both laughed. “I agree, honey.”
We all arrived at the school. Hangman came over and got Leia down from the car. Austin and Phoenix had Gunner. You and I got the boys down from the car. Once we were all out, we walked into the school. Leia saw a bunch of her friends and ran to them to give them hugs. We saw a couple of our pilots there dropping their kids off and we all made small talk. 
“Uncle Jakey, remember when you all picked me up from school that one time with music and you were all in your flight suits?” 
Jake started to laugh, “I remember that. Do you guys remember that?”
Phoenix and I started to laugh, “How could I forget?”
You looked at me confused, “You guys did what?”
I laughed, “Nothing, sweetheart.” You shook your head at me. 
We arrived at her classroom and we all said our good-byes to her. She was so excited. Jake grabbed the boys from you and I. You gave Leia a kiss and a hug. 
I knelt down and kissed her forehead. “I love you, Leia. Have a great day at school. And remember.”
She nodded. “Don’t think. Just do.” She was ready to salute me. 
I grabbed her hand and laughed. I shook my head, “Remember to have fun, babe.” I pinched her cheek and she laughed. 
“Ohhh. Right…” She started to turn red. She jumped into my embrace. 
“Have a great first day, sweetheart.”

Bradley’s POV
It has been a month since Leia’s 7th birthday. Mav, Penny, and Amelia had stayed for the remainder of the party but had to return back that night because Mav had to make it back for flight plans with Cyclone and Warlock. 
It was another long week at work. More paperwork to push, classes to teach, meetings, and training. I was exhausted again and couldn’t wait to get home to take off my boots and uniform. I felt like my feet were melted into the soles of my boots. I was walking out to the truck when Phantom stopped me. 
“Bradshaw!” He was jogging over to me with his hand up. 
I turned around and smiled as I stopped and waited for him. I reached my hand out to shake his. I hadn’t seen him in a while since I hadn’t been working on the tarmac with the planes. Then when I got off I was heavily involved with my kids, all six of them. The last time I saw him was at Leia’s birthday party. 
“Sir, how are you?” I shook his hand and he pulled me in for a hug. 
“I’m doing great. How are you doing? How are Leia and the boys doing?” He smiled as he patted me on the back.
I nodded and sighed, “I’m hanging in there. Getting back into the flow of working, especially being a senior officer now, is a little tricky and dawning, but worth it. I am a little frustrated with myself about my training. It is taking me a lot longer to get into the groove of things than I thought.” I sighed and bit my lip. 
He patted my back and sighed. “Hey. Bradley.” I looked up at him and he nodded. “You’re doing a great job. Don’t beat yourself up. You’ve only been back to work fully for a month. You’re doing an outstanding job as a senior officer. Probably one of the best ones I’ve got.” He started to laugh. “Don’t tell any of the others that.” He smiled at me. “And when it comes to the training, take your time. It will come with lots and lots of practice. Just like it did when you first started flying. It took you 2 years to prepare to fly the way you fly. You are only months into this, Bradley. You have so much more time.” 
I nodded and gave him a smirk. “Thank you, sir. It’s just hard to not be flying. I’m trying so hard to get back to it because it’s what I was made for.”
He shook his head at me and closed his eyes, “Bradley Nicolas Bradshaw. You were made to be a great husband, father, best friend, and son. After that, then a pilot. You are doing every single one of those things and I know your mom and dad would be proud of you. I know Mitchell, Evelyn, and I are so proud of you.” 
I looked down and looked back up at him with the sting in the back of my eyes. I wasn’t going to cry, but it was nice to hear he was proud of me. “Thank you for that, sir.”
He smiled and gave me a hug, “I’ll always be here for you, Bradley. Always.” He patted me hard on my back and pulled back to look at me, “Now go get yourself home and enjoy your days off. You deserve it, kiddo.”
I shook his hand and nodded. “I’ll see you on Monday, sir. Enjoy your weekend as well.” 
He winked over at me and pointed, “Evelyn, the girls, and I might be over this weekend. To offer our help with your very full house-hold.” 
“I’ll look forward to it, sir.” I laughed before I got into the truck to go home. 
 ———-
I finally pulled into the drive way of the house and sighed. It felt good to be back home after a long day at work. Being with all of you always brought a smile to my face. When I walked into the house you were all alone and it was silent. 
“Sweetheart?” You were laying back on the couch. You looked up and smiled at me. 
“Hey, Brad.” You sat up and welcomed me over. 
“Where is everyone at?” I sat next to you and started to untie my boots. “They all outside?” 
You shook your head and smiled. “They all went out. Jake and Nat came home early today…”
I cut you off, “Lucky them.” I started to laugh. 
You chuckled and placed your arm around my shoulders, “They came home early, so they and Austin took the kids out to give momma some quiet time. Such a sweet gesture. I was going to go out and grocery shop. Restock the house for everything, but they said they got it all covered and for me just to sit here and relax.” 
I kicked off my boots and wrapped my arm over your shoulders. “Well that was awfully sweet of them. How has mommy’s quiet time been?” I kissed your cheek. 
You plugged your nose and laughed. “It was very quiet and smelt nice until right now. Mr. Bradshaw you need a shower.” 
I laughed and shook my head. “I did workout before I left and the AC in my office has been broken so, I was sweating like a pig, sweetheart.” I kissed your head hard. “I’ll go and shower and come back down. See what you’re up to.” I smiled and poked your nose. “I’ll miss you!” 
I could hear you laughing and plop back down on the couch as i ran up the stairs to clean up and get out of my uniform. I jumped in the shower and scrubbed down. I wanted to make sure I smelt good for you. I got out and brushed my hair back as I dried off. I threw on some grey sweats and a white t-shirt. I ran back down stairs and you were watching TV on the couch. I smiled and plopped down hard next to you. 
I placed a hard kiss against your hair. “What are we watching, sweetheart?” I threw my arm around your shoulder and pulled you into my side. You nestled into my shoulder. 
“Just watching Star Wars. The usual.” You giggled. We sat there and watch it for a while. “Did you want to go out and do anything, Brad?” You placed your hand on my chest and looked up at me. 
I continued to watch Anakin and Obi-Wan fight. “We can do whatever you feel like, babe.” I smiled and looked over at you. I kissed your forehead. “What do you feel like doing? You wanna go out and go on a date?” I raised my brows at you.
Your eyes went wide, “Bradley Bradshaw, are you asking me on a date?” You smirked at me and raised a brow. 
I grabbed your hand and interlocked our fingers. I chuckled and nodded. “I am. Y/n Bradshaw, will you go on a date with me?” 
You started to laugh and took your hand away from mine. You slapped my chest, “You are so cheesy, Brad.” You pushed off of my chest and got up. you reached your hand out for mine and smiled. “I would love to go on a date with you.” 
I smiled up at you and grabbed your hand. I stood up and we ran upstairs together to get ready. “We are such children!” I laughed and dragged you up the stairs to our closet.
We decided we wanted to surprise each other so we both dressed accordingly and would get ready and then present ourselves to one another. The date was super casual so we both decided to be comfortable. 
We were going to go and get dinner and then go for a walk on the beach and then the pier. 
I opted for a Rolling Stones t shirt and some dark blue jeans. I got out of the closet and slipped my ring on and put on my chain. I combed my mustache and gave it a little trim before I started to fix my hair. 
You stepped out of the closet and cleared your throat. “Ready!”
I turned around and started to chuckle. “No way.” 
You started to laugh as we looked at each other. You came out in a Radiohead T-shirt and light blue jeans. “I guess we both have the same super comfy causal taste.” You looked at me with wide eyes. 
I looked at the T-shirt and raised my brows. “Sweetheart, is that the shirt I got you back in college?” I got closer and took a better look at it. “Holy shit! It is!” I looked up at you and smiled. “You look so good, honey.” I kissed your cheeks and your forehead. 
“I can’t believe it still fits. Three kids later.” You smiled and kissed my hand. “You went to a concert with Mav. I couldn’t come because of finals, so you brought me back this shirt.” 
I looked down at you with amazement. “I can’t believe you kept it. Was sure you burned everything that I ever gave you.” I started to laugh loudly. 
You rolled your eyes. “Shut up, Bradshaw.” You smiled and grabbed my hand to lead me back down stairs. 
We both put on some converse and headed out the door. I opened your door to the truck and helped you in. I kissed your cheek and fastened your seatbelt before closing the door. I hopped into the car and smiled at you. “You ready for a date night?”
You smiled and nodded. I grabbed your hand and drove to out first destination. The Lanai At Mamala Bay. 
———-
We drove up to the restaurant and I hopped down from the truck. I ran over to your side to open the door and help you down. “After you, sweetheart.” I closed your door behind you and grabbed your hand as we made it in. We opted to sit outside on the balcony and they brought us out to our seats. 
It was a beautiful view of the beach and a small dock where a couple of boats were anchored. We ordered out food and enjoyed out time together. 
“What do you think the kiddies are doing?” You looked out to the ocean taking in the new scenery. 
I sipped my water and cleared my throat. “I think the three Bradbabies are all making their Aunt and Uncles life a living hell. Especially if the boys are shitting themselves and Hangman has to change them.” I started to laugh.
You looked over at me with squinted eyes. “You think we should call them and make sure everything is okay?” 
I nodded. “I thought you’d never ask.” I whooped out my phone and dialed Austin’s cell. You scooted your chair next to me and we anxiously waited for an answer. 
“Hey, mom and dad!” Austin laughed as he waved to the both of you. 
You and Bradley both waved back to him. “Hey!” 
You grabbed Bradley’s phone. “Where are my kids!” You said excitedly.
Austin held his phone up to show you he was holding Luke in his lap and giving him a bottle, while Phoenix had Bradley and was doing the same. She waved at you and made little Brad wave to you as well.
“Oh my goodness! The boys look so cute!” You were cooing over them and I scooted next to you so I could get a quick look as well. 
“My boys! Where is Leia Rey?”
Austin flipped the camera and it showed that they were at the park. You could see Leia running around with Hangman by the play structure. 
Austin flipped the phone back to himself and Luke. 
“Is everything going okay with the kiddos?” You asked with a bog smile. 
Austin nodded and gave you a quick thumbs up. “Perfect! They’re all enjoying themselves and having a great time. We took a quick break from errands to give the kids some play time.”
You sighed in relief that everything was okay. “I miss them!” You made a sad pouty face. 
Austin chuckled. “They miss you too. But enjoy yourself. Have fun! You’ll see them later on!”
You nodded and looked at me. We both waved goodbye and I put my phone away, just in time for when our food arrived for us. 
We ate our lunch and caught up with one another. I felt like we hadn’t had a conversation with each other in a long time. Even though we lived together and were always together when I wasn’t away at work. 
After we ate, We went to go and walk along the shore line on the beach. I grabbed your hand and pulled you into my side. I wrapped my arm over your shoulders and placed a kiss to you temple. We were enjoying the quiet. The sand crunching under our bare feet and the waved crashing in on one another. It was nice. The sun was out and there was a slight breeze. I looked down at you. You interlocked your fingers with mine and looked out at the ocean. You were smiling so big. The sun was hitting your face and it made you glow, while the breeze blew your hair back slightly. How did I get so lucky?
I squeezed your hand and you looked up at me and smiled. “I’ve missed our alone time, sweetheart.” You giggled. “What?” I smiled at you. “I feel like we have been so busy with our lives this last year together.”
You nodded slowly, “It has been pretty hectic and busy, but I like it.” You smiled up at me.
“As long as it’s with you. Hectic, busy, slow, boring. Doesn’t matter. All that matters is I have you and the kids, Brad.” 
I leaned down and gave you a kiss. “If you keep being mushy like this we will have a fourth before the end of the year.” 
Your eyes went wide and you shook your head. “Clam down, Bradshaw. Let’s see if you can handle all three on your own before you say that.” You smiled. 
I sighed, “Oh honey, if you only knew…” I started to laugh to myself. 
———-
Another month passed by and the boys were getting bigger and bigger. They were two almost 3 months old and the doctors said they were both the equivalent and in the percentage range for an infant that was 6 months old. The boys were learning so fast and growing to be huge. Not only the boys, but Leia as well. 
“Okay, baby boy.” I wrapped a towel around Luke as he giggled. “All done buddy.” I smiled as I brought him over to the bed where you were finishing up dressing little Brad. I kissed your cheek, “Got him babe?”
You nodded, “I do. Thank you.” You smiled at me.
I started to run the bath water warm. “Leia Rey, bath time, sweetheart.” I called out for Leia. 
I heard her foot steps running through the hallway to our room. “Braddie, Lukey-bear.” She placed kissed on her brother’s heads before she came over to me. She looked into the bath tub as the water started to fill up. “Daddy, do you think I could try by myself?” 
I looked up at her and then over to you. You and I both had our eyebrows raised. I looked back at Leia. “You wanna give yourself a bath?” 
She smiled and nodded, “I’m not a little baby anymore, daddy.”
I pushed my lips together and nodded sadly. “You’re absolutely right.” I touched her hair behind her ear. I sighed. 
“Daddy, I start first grade tomorrow. I’m practically an adult.” She raised her brows at me trying to convince me.
I started to laugh. “An adult??” I squinted my eyes at her. “Okay little Miss Leia Bradshaw, the adult. You can give yourself a bath.” I laughed as I handed her her towel and wash cloth. I stood up and patted her head. “I’m gonna help momma with your brothers, sweetheart. I’ll be right over there if you need any help.” I kissed her head. 
“I don’t need help, daddy! I got it!” 
I pushed my lips together again and nodded. “Okay, Leia Rey.” I started to walk away. I stopped and looked back one more time as she was turning off the water. 
She gestured for me to get out of the bathroom. So I nodded and proceeded to walk over to you and the boys. I sat on the edge of the bed staring into space. You were finishing up with Luke. 
“Kicked you out, huh daddy?” You giggled. 
I sighed. “Yup. She doesn’t need me anymore.” I dropped my head and acted like I was crying. You started to laugh as you handed Little Brad to me. 
“Maybe she doesn’t, but you still have two more that do.” You started to laugh as you placed Luke’s arms into his onesie. 
I held Brad in front of me as he smiled at me with his fist in his mouth. “You need daddy right?” He giggled and squealed as he kicked his feet. “Good. Cause sissy doesn’t. At least I have you boys.” I attacked him with kissed and he squealed even louder. I placed him against my chest and rubbed his back. 
“Daddy!” 
You and I looked at each other and you gestured towards the bathroom. I placed Brad on his tummy as I made my way back into the bathroom. I peaked in and raised my brows. “You rang?”
“Daddy, I need help into the tub.” Leia stood there with her arms crossed.
I started to laugh as I entered into the bathroom. “But I thought you were an adult and didn’t need me anymore?” I said as I walked over to her. I crossed my arms.
“Daddy, I still need your help, please. Even if I am an adult.” She gave me her puppy dog eyes as she continued to cross her arms. 
I laughed and kissed her cheek before picking her up and placing her into the tub. “I will always be here to help you, Leia Rey. EVEN when you are an adult.” I kissed her cheek even harder before I left the bathroom again. 
“Thanks daddy! I Love you!” 
I looked back and smiled. “I love you, sweetheart.” As I started to walk out she called for me again. 
“Daddy, wait…” I turned around. “Maybe one more bath as a baby adult? I don’t know what to do…” 
I laughed and made my way back over to her. I messed her hair up a little as I knelt in front of the tub. “Of course, sweetheart.” 
————-
The next morning, Phoenix, Hangman, and I were all off. We were going to all be able to see Leia off for her first day of first grade. The house slowly turned into chaos. 
Hangman, Phoenix, and me were all downstairs drinking our coffee by 0600. I had already fed, changed, and put Brad and Luke back to sleep a little longer before we all piled into the car to bring Leia to school. Austin was up and out with Gunner for his morning business run. 
“Are you ready to have a first grader, Bradshaw?” Phoenix asked before sipping her coffee.
“Ready or not, I have one.” I sighed as I placed my mug onto the counter. 
Hangman cleared his throat and set his mug down. “Before you know it, you’ll have a 7th grader and the boys will be in kindergarten for their first day.” He started to laugh.
I winced thinking about it and shook my head. “Bagman. Can you shut up for 5 minutes.” I pinched the bridge of my nose thinking about it. Cause in reality that was not far away.
He put his hands up in confusion. “That was the first thing I’ve said all morning?”
I put my hand up to him and nodded. “And that would be all, please.”
Him and Phoenix started to laugh at me as I came to more and more realization that I am going to blink and that day would be here.
Austin came into the house with Gunner. “What’d I miss? Why does Bradley look distressed again?”
Phoenix and Hangman started to laugh harder and I felt like I was hungover.

I finally pulled into the drive way of the house and sighed. It felt good to be back home after a long day at work. Being with all of you always brought a smile to my face. When I walked into the house you were all alone and it was silent. 
“Sweetheart?” You were laying back on the couch. You looked up and smiled at me. 
“Hey, Brad.” You sat up and welcomed me over. 
“Where is everyone at?” I sat next to you and started to untie my boots. “They all outside?” 
You shook your head and smiled. “They all went out. Jake and Nat came home early today…”
I cut you off, “Lucky them.” I started to laugh. 
You chuckled and placed your arm around my shoulders, “They came home early, so they and Austin took the kids out to give momma some quiet time. Such a sweet gesture. I was going to go out and grocery shop. Restock the house for everything, but they said they got it all covered and for me just to sit here and relax.” 
I kicked off my boots and wrapped my arm over your shoulders. “Well that was awfully sweet of them. How has mommy’s quiet time been?” I kissed your cheek. 
You plugged your nose and laughed. “It was very quiet and smelt nice until right now. Mr. Bradshaw you need a shower.” 
I laughed and shook my head. “I did workout before I left and the AC in my office has been broken so, I was sweating like a pig, sweetheart.” I kissed your head hard. “I’ll go and shower and come back down. See what you’re up to.” I smiled and poked your nose. “I’ll miss you!” 
I could hear you laughing and plop back down on the couch as i ran up the stairs to clean up and get out of my uniform. I jumped in the shower and scrubbed down. I wanted to make sure I smelt good for you. I got out and brushed my hair back as I dried off. I threw on some grey sweats and a white t-shirt. I ran back down stairs and you were watching TV on the couch. I smiled and plopped down hard next to you. 
I placed a hard kiss against your hair. “What are we watching, sweetheart?” I threw my arm around your shoulder and pulled you into my side. You nestled into my shoulder. 
“Just watching Star Wars. The usual.” You giggled. We sat there and watch it for a while. “Did you want to go out and do anything, Brad?” You placed your hand on my chest and looked up at me. 
I continued to watch Anakin and Obi-Wan fight. “We can do whatever you feel like, babe.” I smiled and looked over at you. I kissed your forehead. “What do you feel like doing? You wanna go out and go on a date?” I raised my brows at you.
Your eyes went wide, “Bradley Bradshaw, are you asking me on a date?” You smirked at me and raised a brow. 
I grabbed your hand and interlocked our fingers. I chuckled and nodded. “I am. Y/n Bradshaw, will you go on a date with me?” 
You started to laugh and took your hand away from mine. You slapped my chest, “You are so cheesy, Brad.” You pushed off of my chest and got up. you reached your hand out for mine and smiled. “I would love to go on a date with you.” 
I smiled up at you and grabbed your hand. I stood up and we ran upstairs together to get ready. “We are such children!” I laughed and dragged you up the stairs to our closet.
We decided we wanted to surprise each other so we both dressed accordingly and would get ready and then present ourselves to one another. The date was super casual so we both decided to be comfortable. 
We were going to go and get dinner and then go for a walk on the beach and then the pier. 
I opted for a Rolling Stones t shirt and some dark blue jeans. I got out of the closet and slipped my ring on and put on my chain. I combed my mustache and gave it a little trim before I started to fix my hair. 
You stepped out of the closet and cleared your throat. “Ready!”
I turned around and started to chuckle. “No way.” 
You started to laugh as we looked at each other. You came out in a Radiohead T-shirt and light blue jeans. “I guess we both have the same super comfy causal taste.” You looked at me with wide eyes. 
I looked at the T-shirt and raised my brows. “Sweetheart, is that the shirt I got you back in college?” I got closer and took a better look at it. “Holy shit! It is!” I looked up at you and smiled. “You look so good, honey.” I kissed your cheeks and your forehead. 
“I can’t believe it still fits. Three kids later.” You smiled and kissed my hand. “You went to a concert with Mav. I couldn’t come because of finals, so you brought me back this shirt.” 
I looked down at you with amazement. “I can’t believe you kept it. Was sure you burned everything that I ever gave you.” I started to laugh loudly. 
You rolled your eyes. “Shut up, Bradshaw.” You smiled and grabbed my hand to lead me back down stairs. 
We both put on some converse and headed out the door. I opened your door to the truck and helped you in. I kissed your cheek and fastened your seatbelt before closing the door. I hopped into the car and smiled at you. “You ready for a date night?”
You smiled and nodded. I grabbed your hand and drove to out first destination. The Lanai At Mamala Bay. 
———-
We drove up to the restaurant and I hopped down from the truck. I ran over to your side to open the door and help you down. “After you, sweetheart.” I closed your door behind you and grabbed your hand as we made it in. We opted to sit outside on the balcony and they brought us out to our seats. 
It was a beautiful view of the beach and a small dock where a couple of boats were anchored. We ordered out food and enjoyed out time together. 
“What do you think the kiddies are doing?” You looked out to the ocean taking in the new scenery. 
I sipped my water and cleared my throat. “I think the three Bradbabies are all making their Aunt and Uncles life a living hell. Especially if the boys are shitting themselves and Hangman has to change them.” I started to laugh.
You looked over at me with squinted eyes. “You think we should call them and make sure everything is okay?” 
I nodded. “I thought you’d never ask.” I whooped out my phone and dialed Austin’s cell. You scooted your chair next to me and we anxiously waited for an answer. 
“Hey, mom and dad!” Austin laughed as he waved to the both of you. 
You and Bradley both waved back to him. “Hey!” 
You grabbed Bradley’s phone. “Where are my kids!” You said excitedly.
Austin held his phone up to show you he was holding Luke in his lap and giving him a bottle, while Phoenix had Bradley and was doing the same. She waved at you and made little Brad wave to you as well.
“Oh my goodness! The boys look so cute!” You were cooing over them and I scooted next to you so I could get a quick look as well. 
“My boys! Where is Leia Rey?”
Austin flipped the camera and it showed that they were at the park. You could see Leia running around with Hangman by the play structure. 
Austin flipped the phone back to himself and Luke. 
“Is everything going okay with the kiddos?” You asked with a bog smile. 
Austin nodded and gave you a quick thumbs up. “Perfect! They’re all enjoying themselves and having a great time. We took a quick break from errands to give the kids some play time.”
You sighed in relief that everything was okay. “I miss them!” You made a sad pouty face. 
Austin chuckled. “They miss you too. But enjoy yourself. Have fun! You’ll see them later on!”
You nodded and looked at me. We both waved goodbye and I put my phone away, just in time for when our food arrived for us. 
We ate our lunch and caught up with one another. I felt like we hadn’t had a conversation with each other in a long time. Even though we lived together and were always together when I wasn’t away at work. 
After we ate, We went to go and walk along the shore line on the beach. I grabbed your hand and pulled you into my side. I wrapped my arm over your shoulders and placed a kiss to you temple. We were enjoying the quiet. The sand crunching under our bare feet and the waved crashing in on one another. It was nice. The sun was out and there was a slight breeze. I looked down at you. You interlocked your fingers with mine and looked out at the ocean. You were smiling so big. The sun was hitting your face and it made you glow, while the breeze blew your hair back slightly. How did I get so lucky?
I squeezed your hand and you looked up at me and smiled. “I’ve missed our alone time, sweetheart.” You giggled. “What?” I smiled at you. “I feel like we have been so busy with our lives this last year together.”
You nodded slowly, “It has been pretty hectic and busy, but I like it.” You smiled up at me.
“As long as it’s with you. Hectic, busy, slow, boring. Doesn’t matter. All that matters is I have you and the kids, Brad.” 
I leaned down and gave you a kiss. “If you keep being mushy like this we will have a fourth before the end of the year.” 
Your eyes went wide and you shook your head. “Clam down, Bradshaw. Let’s see if you can handle all three on your own before you say that.” You smiled. 
I sighed, “Oh honey, if you only knew…” I started to laugh to myself. 
———-
Another month passed by and the boys were getting bigger and bigger. They were two almost 3 months old and the doctors said they were both the equivalent and in the percentage range for an infant that was 6 months old. The boys were learning so fast and growing to be huge. Not only the boys, but Leia as well. 
“Okay, baby boy.” I wrapped a towel around Luke as he giggled. “All done buddy.” I smiled as I brought him over to the bed where you were finishing up dressing little Brad. I kissed your cheek, “Got him babe?”
You nodded, “I do. Thank you.” You smiled at me.
I started to run the bath water warm. “Leia Rey, bath time, sweetheart.” I called out for Leia. 
I heard her foot steps running through the hallway to our room. “Braddie, Lukey-bear.” She placed kissed on her brother’s heads before she came over to me. She looked into the bath tub as the water started to fill up. “Daddy, do you think I could try by myself?” 
I looked up at her and then over to you. You and I both had our eyebrows raised. I looked back at Leia. “You wanna give yourself a bath?” 
She smiled and nodded, “I’m not a little baby anymore, daddy.”
I pushed my lips together and nodded sadly. “You’re absolutely right.” I touched her hair behind her ear. I sighed. 
“Daddy, I start first grade tomorrow. I’m practically an adult.” She raised her brows at me trying to convince me.
I started to laugh. “An adult??” I squinted my eyes at her. “Okay little Miss Leia Bradshaw, the adult. You can give yourself a bath.” I laughed as I handed her her towel and wash cloth. I stood up and patted her head. “I’m gonna help momma with your brothers, sweetheart. I’ll be right over there if you need any help.” I kissed her head. 
“I don’t need help, daddy! I got it!” 
I pushed my lips together again and nodded. “Okay, Leia Rey.” I started to walk away. I stopped and looked back one more time as she was turning off the water. 
She gestured for me to get out of the bathroom. So I nodded and proceeded to walk over to you and the boys. I sat on the edge of the bed staring into space. You were finishing up with Luke. 
“Kicked you out, huh daddy?” You giggled. 
I sighed. “Yup. She doesn’t need me anymore.” I dropped my head and acted like I was crying. You started to laugh as you handed Little Brad to me. 
“Maybe she doesn’t, but you still have two more that do.” You started to laugh as you placed Luke’s arms into his onesie. 
I held Brad in front of me as he smiled at me with his fist in his mouth. “You need daddy right?” He giggled and squealed as he kicked his feet. “Good. Cause sissy doesn’t. At least I have you boys.” I attacked him with kissed and he squealed even louder. I placed him against my chest and rubbed his back. 
“Daddy!” 
You and I looked at each other and you gestured towards the bathroom. I placed Brad on his tummy as I made my way back into the bathroom. I peaked in and raised my brows. “You rang?”
“Daddy, I need help into the tub.” Leia stood there with her arms crossed.
I started to laugh as I entered into the bathroom. “But I thought you were an adult and didn’t need me anymore?” I said as I walked over to her. I crossed my arms.
“Daddy, I still need your help, please. Even if I am an adult.” She gave me her puppy dog eyes as she continued to cross her arms. 
I laughed and kissed her cheek before picking her up and placing her into the tub. “I will always be here to help you, Leia Rey. EVEN when you are an adult.” I kissed her cheek even harder before I left the bathroom again. 
“Thanks daddy! I Love you!” 
I looked back and smiled. “I love you, sweetheart.” As I started to walk out she called for me again. 
“Daddy, wait…” I turned around. “Maybe one more bath as a baby adult? I don’t know what to do…” 
I laughed and made my way back over to her. I messed her hair up a little as I knelt in front of the tub. “Of course, sweetheart.” 
————-
The next morning, Phoenix, Hangman, and I were all off. We were going to all be able to see Leia off for her first day of first grade. The house slowly turned into chaos. 
Hangman, Phoenix, and me were all downstairs drinking our coffee by 0600. I had already fed, changed, and put Brad and Luke back to sleep a little longer before we all piled into the car to bring Leia to school. Austin was up and out with Gunner for his morning business run. 
“Are you ready to have a first grader, Bradshaw?” Phoenix asked before sipping her coffee.
“Ready or not, I have one.” I sighed as I placed my mug onto the counter. 
Hangman cleared his throat and set his mug down. “Before you know it, you’ll have a 7th grader and the boys will be in kindergarten for their first day.” He started to laugh.
I winced thinking about it and shook my head. “Bagman. Can you shut up for 5 minutes.” I pinched the bridge of my nose thinking about it. Cause in reality that was not far away.
He put his hands up in confusion. “That was the first thing I’ve said all morning?”
I put my hand up to him and nodded. “And that would be all, please.”
Him and Phoenix started to laugh at me as I came to more and more realization that I am going to blink and that day would be here.
Austin came into the house with Gunner. “What’d I miss? Why does Bradley look distressed again?”
Phoenix and Hangman started to laugh harder and I felt like I was hungover. 
———-
Who would have thought that just in an hour that calm moment would turn into what it did. You and I were in the room trying to get Leia and the boys ready to go. Once the boys were ready Phoenix and Austin came in to grab them while we tried to get ourselves ready along with Leia. The boys were hungry, They are always hungry per my appetite, so Nix and Austin were rushing to get them a bottle. Leia couldn't decided how she wanted her hair. You were ironing her uniform. Hangman was downstairs trying to figure out a lunch for Leia. Gunner was whining because the boys were upset. It was a very busy morning. 
When everything finally started to settle. We loaded everyone into the trucks and were off. In our truck, it was you, the boys, Leia, and Me. In Hangman’s truck, him, Gunner, Austin, and Nix. 
You and I took a deep breath and I grabbed your hand. You looked at me with wide eyes. “When we get home. We prep everything for tomorrow morning.” 
I nodded and we both laughed. “I agree, honey.”
We all arrived at the school. Hangman came over and got Leia down from the car. Austin and Phoenix had Gunner. You and I got the boys down from the car. Once we were all out, we walked into the school. Leia saw a bunch of her friends and ran to them to give them hugs. We saw a couple of our pilots there dropping their kids off and we all made small talk. 
“Uncle Jakey, remember when you all picked me up from school that one time with music and you were all in your flight suits?” 
Jake started to laugh, “I remember that. Do you guys remember that?”
Phoenix and I started to laugh, “How could I forget?”
You looked at me confused, “You guys did what?”
I laughed, “Nothing, sweetheart.” You shook your head at me. 
We arrived at her classroom and we all said our good-byes to her. She was so excited. Jake grabbed the boys from you and I. You gave Leia a kiss and a hug. 
I knelt down and kissed her forehead. “I love you, Leia. Have a great day at school. And remember.”
She nodded. “Don’t think. Just do.” She was ready to salute me. 
I grabbed her hand and laughed. I shook my head, “Remember to have fun, babe.” I pinched her cheek and she laughed. 
“Ohhh. Right…” She started to turn red. She jumped into my embrace. 
“Have a great first day, sweetheart.”

Leia’s 7th Birthday 
You and Bradley stood there excited as you could see Leia approaching with everyone else. Jake was hauling a wagon with games in it, while Nat and Austin each held one of the boys. Leia was skipping over to the area. She hadn’t noticed it was for her yet. 
Right when she reached the top of a sand dune she smiled and pointed over to the party area, saying something back to the three adults with her. She was smiling as she pointed and you could see Jake nudge her to go take a look at this “Luau Area.” She started to run over and when she saw you and Bradley standing there at the beginning of the entrance she stopped dead in her tracks. Her eyes went wide and her jaw dropped. She covered her mouth and started to cry. 
Jake, Nat, Austin, and the boys caught up with her and she stood there frozen with tears running down her cheeks. You started to tear up and you could hear Bradley sniffling. You could see Austin crouch down next to her then placed a kiss on her cheek and nudged her to come over to her party. She gave Austin, Nat, and Jake a hug before she ran over to you and Bradley. 
She ran and slammed into you and him. Everyone yelled “Happy Birthday, Leia!” As you and Bradley got down on your knees and hugged your daughter. 
Bradley kissed Leia’s head over and over again as you hugged her. “Happy Birthday, my girl. Daddy loves you so much.” He held the both of you in a bear hug.
When you all pulled apart, you placed your hand on Leia’s cheek, wiped her tears, and fixed her hair. “Happy Birthday, My love. I love you, always.” You smiled at her and placed a kiss on her forehead. “Now go and have some fun, baby.” You placed one more kiss on her head as she nodded.  
She looked over at her party and got shy when she saw all her guests. Everyone yelled in surprise when they saw her making her way over to the party. You and Bradley made your way over to Jake, Nat, and Austin. You and Bradley grabbed the boys from Nat and Austin. You gave them all a hug and thanked them for watching the boys and keeping Leia occupied while you and Bradley set up for Leia’s Luau. You all made your way down the beach as Leia greeted all her guests. Bradley handed Luke back to Nat so that he could help Jake set up all the games that were in the wagon. 
You smiled and kissed little Brad on his cheek, “It’s your big sissy’s birthday!” You grabbed one of his little hands and bounced him around. A little grin appeared on his face. 
Nat was holding a sleeping Luke to her chest as you both watched on the party. Austin joined Bradley and Jake to help set up games. You smiled as Leia jumped around with some of her friends from school and said hi to more of her guests. You looked at Nat and smiled.
“I have a huge surprise for Leia. I hope she’s going to love it.” You looked back at your daughter as she ran around her party with her friends. 
Nat came closer to you and patted little Brad’s back. “What did you get for her?” She smiled with curiosity. 
You chuckled. “Not what, Nat. Who?” You widened your eyes at her as she looked at you confused. “Well actually, It’ll be a little gift for everyone.” You smiled back at her as she raised her brows at you. 
“Is that who, here already? Is there gonna be like a clown or something? Or is Bagman just going to be the clown to perform?” Nat started to laugh as you both looked over at the boys trying to figure out how to set up the games. She shook her head, “God, there are three of them and they can’t figure out how to set those things up.” 
You both laughed as you watched all three of them snatch the instruction sheet out of each others hands trying to explain to one another how to put the games together. You shook your head and looked back at Nat. “Close. But he wont be the clown of entertainment.” 
She looked at you with furrowed brows. “Then who?” 
You smiled and waved over to Bradley and the guys, “You’ll see soon, Nat.”
Bradley and the guys came running over to you. Jake looked frustrated as he still held onto the instructions, Bradley was smiling like a big goof at you, and Austin looked at Jake awkwardly. 
“Honey, Jake is so mad because he can’t figure out how to put the game together.” Bradley looked at Jake and laughed. 
Jake rolled his eyes and crumpled up the instructions, “Well I am paired with the dumbest pilot and the guy that gives grown men sponge baths.” 
Bradley laughed, “I don’t think you’re the dumbest pilot, Seresin. But definitely on the list.” 
Jake looked at him with wide eyes and shoved him as they both laughed. “Jerk.” Jake shook his head and threw the crumpled paper at Bradley’s head. 
“I don’t give grown men baths for a living… What do you think I do?” Austin looked up at Jake with confused yet scared eyes. 
Bradley and Jake looked at each other and laughed as they pulled Austin in for a hug. “Bradshaw is a grown man and you gave him a bath. So, I wasn’t completely wrong about your job, Aus.” Jake patted him on the chest.
Austin just shook his head and shrugged. 
Bradley brought his attention back to you and Nat who were standing there with shocked expressions on your faces. 
“What circus act did I just witness?” Nat looked at all three of them with wide eyes and a blank stare. 
Jake came over and wrapped his arm over Nat’s shoulders. “Your favorite one, that you are stuck with for the rest of your life.” Jake smiled big as Nat palmed her forehead. 
Austin took little Brad from you as Bradley came over and hugged you and gave you a kiss on your cheek. “What’s up, sweetheart?”
You smiled and nodded over towards the party. “I have a surprise for Leia and it’s ready!’ You bit your lips and jumped slightly of excitement. 
Bradley looked at you with furrowed brows, “Surprise? There is more?”
You nodded, “YES!”
You pulled Bradley over to the party, “Wait… babe, what else did we get her!?” 
Nat, Jake, Austin, and the boys followed behind you and Bradley into the party.
You and Bradley stood in the middle of the party guests. Bradley leaned down and whispered in your ear, “Babe, what did we get Leia??” Brady sounded so concern and worried. 
You giggled and patted his chest, “Don’t worry about it, babe.”
He looked up confused and then smiled at the guests and waved as you caught everyone’s attention. 
“Hi everyone! Bradley and I just wanted to thank everyone for coming out and being able to make it for our little girl’s 7th birthday. We are all excited to be able to celebrate the coming of not only our little girl, but the day our family was formed.” You looked up at Bradley and smiled. He kissed your forehead. 
Bradley looked up at the guests. “This is my first official time I get to spend with my little girl on her special day.” He got down on his knee and opened his arms to Leia. “And I can’t wait to spend the rest of them with you, baby girl.” Leia smiled and ran over to Bradley. He caught her in his arms and picked her up and kissed her over and over again. “I love you, my Leia Rey. happy birthday, Sweetheart.” 
Leia smiled at her dad as everyone started to coo over their little moment. “Thank you, daddy. I love you.” Leia kissed Bradley’s cheek.
You went over and placed a kiss on Leia’s hand and smiled. “Daddy and I… Well I have a gift for daddy and you, Leia Rey.” 
Bradley and Leia both looked at you confused with the same exact facial expression. You reached your hand out for Nat. She came over smiling while Jake and Austin followed behind. “I actually have a gift for all of you.” 
Everyone smiled at you with curious eyes. “Without further stalling.” You looked over to the entrance where their gifts were all setting up. “I know how much you miss home, baby.” You held out your hand to their gifts and everyone turned slowly. “Happy Birthday, Leia Rey. I love you.”
Bradley, Leia, Nat, Austin, and Jake all looked to where you where holding your hand out. There stood Mav, Penny, and Amelia dressed in all matching Hawaiian printed shirts and dresses. 
Bradley dropped Leia down to her feet as they both yelled. “Papa Mav!” “MAV!” Bradley and Leia both bee-lined for Mav, Penny, and Amelia. Bradley playfully pushed Leia over into the sand so he could get to them first.
“DADDY!!!” Leia started to stand up laughing. 
Bradley ran ahead and bear hugged Mav, Penny, and Amelia. “Oh my god! I missed you all so freaking much!” 
Mav patted Bradley’s back. “It’s good to see you up and running, kiddo.” 
Penny kissed Bradley’s cheek, “Oh, Rooster! You look so good! Mav had told me what happened and you are looking so good, honey!”
Amelia hugged Bradley tightly, “I’m glad you’re okay!”
Leia joined the group and squished herself into the group hug. “YOU’RE ALL HERE!” She screamed at the top of her lungs. Bradley took a step back and let Leia get her turn with them.
Mav picked up Leia and covered her in kisses. “Oh my little Jedi! You are so big!! Look at you! Happy birthday, sweetheart!” 
Penny joined in on the hug and kissed Leia’s head over and over again, “My Princess Leia! I missed you so much! Happy birthday, pretty girl!” Penny pushed Leia’s hair from her face as Leia began to cry happy tears.
Mav let Leia down and she hugged Amelia tight. “I’m so happy you are all here!” 
“Happy birthday, Leia!” Amelia gave Leia a present. Leia grabbed Amelia’s hand and ran her over to her friends. “Thank you! I wanna introduce you to my friends!!” 
———-
Bradley’s POV
I made my way back over to you and grabbed little sleeping Luke from Phoenix as you grabbed little Brad from Austin so they could all go and say hello to Mav and Penny. 
I watched as Hangman ran like a giddy little kid in the candy store to Mav. He had his hands flailing around and he was yelling, “MAV! PENNY!” he jumped into them and Phoenix followed behind with her hands in the air. She wrapped her arms around all three of them smiling. Austin joined in after Hangman and Phoenix got their fill with hugs. 
Mav came over to us and was stopped by Phantom and Evelyn. Mav’s eyes went wide and he pulled Phantom in for a hug. “It’s good to see you again, handsome!” 
Mav laughed and patted his back. “I wouldn’t miss this for the world! You remember Penny?”
Phantom gasped and threw his arms out for Penny, “Penny Benjamin! You still look as you did back when we were all getting in trouble! You remember my wife, Evelyn?”
Penny screamed when she saw Evelyn and they hugged and caught up while Mav and Phantom made their way over to you and I. 
I walked away for a second to grab bottles for little Brad and Luke.  Mav made his way over and gasped as he saw you holding little Brad. I watched from a far as his eyes flew out of his head. 
———-
Your POV
Mav came up to you with wide eyes and covered his mouth. In a high-pitched voice, he cooed over little Brad. “Ohhh my gosh! Is this himmm!?” He grabbed his little hands and gave Brad’s little knuckles kisses. “Hey, little Luke!”
Your eyes widened and you started to chuckle. “Mav…”
“Penny! Come here! They have a surprise to show you!” Mav called and waved over Penny. She came over excitedly. 
“What’s the surprise?” Her jaw dropped and her eyes went wide when she looked at you holding little Brad. “Whose baby is that, y/n?” She looked at you with squinted eyes. you started to giggle. “Y/n? Whose baby is that??” Her eyes widened when she looked at you. 
You smiled and Mav rubbed his index finger on his cheek causing little Brad to grin. “Can I hold him, y/n?” He started to tear up and you smiled. 
“Of, course you can, Mav. This is one of your grand-babies.” You handed little Brad over to Mav. Mav started to shake with him in his arms. 
“Grand-babies??” Penny was shocked and she started to tear up. “When the heck were you pregnant, y/n!?” She came over and gave you a hug, she held you tight as she patted your hair. 
“I was pregnant during my wedding, and even before that.” you hugged her back and giggled. 
She pulled back and covered her mouth, “WHAT!! I knew it! Those were not wedding nerves!” She pulled you back in tight and held you close. “God, you hid it so well, honey! Congratulations, he’s so beautiful!” She kissed your cheek and joined Mav admire and coo over little Bradley. 
“What’s his name?” Penny looked up at you and smiled. As you were about to say his name 
Mav interjected.  “Luke.” 
Penny looked up at you and smiled.  “That’s a beautiful name! Luke and Leia!” 
Mav nodded, “The little Jedis! His full name, Luke Nicolas Bradshaw.” He smiled down at little Bradley in his arms. 
You looked around and bit your lip. “uhhh.” 
Mav and Penny looked up at you and smiled. “What’s wrong, y/n?” Mav chuckled. 
Bradley finally made his way back over with the bottles for the boys. “Here you go babe, one for you and one for me.” He smiled down at you as he cradled little Luke in his arms. You both looked over at Penny and Mav. They looked down at little Bradley and then back at Bradley holding Luke slowly. 
Mav’s brows were furrowed as he looked back and forth between the baby in his arms and the one in Bradley’s arms. Penny was blinking at you and Bradley as she pointed to the baby in his arms. “Whose baby is that?” 
You and Bradley started to laugh. Mav stood there frozen. “Uhhh, Rooster? Y/n? Whose baby is that?” Penny was still waiting for an answer. 
Bradley shrugged and popped the bottle into Luke’s mouth. “Surprise!” He smiled at the both of them with wide eyes. Mav and Penny looked at each other with wide eyes. 
“We had twins.” You started to laugh as they looked at each other in shock. They looked back at you and raised their brows. 
“TWINS?!”
You nodded as Bradley handed Luke to Penny. 
“Congratulations, you two. More grandkids to watch!” Bradley laughed as they both looked down at the boys still shocked. 
“Holy. Shit.” Mav said as he looked between little Brad and Luke. Penny continued to feed Luke and you handed little Brad’s bottle to Mav so he could feed him. “Wait. So who do I have?”
Penny looked up and raised her brows. “Who is who and what are their names?” She was still shocked. 
Bradley went behind them and wrapped his arms around their shoulders. “Penny, you are holding our little Luke. Luke Nicolas Bradshaw. And Mav. you are holding our little Bradley.”
They both looked up at Bradley. Penny and Mav both started to tear up. “Bradley? You named him Bradley too?” Mav started to tear up even more. 
Bradley smiled. “Yup. Bradley Bradford Bradshaw.” 
Mav started to laugh and cry hard. “God, you are just like your old man.”
Bradley nodded his head and started to laugh. “They are beautiful, Rooster.” Penny cooed over the boys as she cried. 
Penny and Mav didn’t want to give anyone the chance to have the boys. They wanted to spend the whole party with them. You looked over periodically and watched as Mav held little Bradley in his hands and looked at him in awe. You watched as Penny took in every single detail of Luke’s face. 
You nudged Bradley and pointed over to Mav and Penny. “Look at them, Brad. They can’t take their eyes off of them.” You chuckled and smiled. You looked up at Bradley and watched him smile goofy.
“They’re in love.” He started to laugh. “They are the most handsomest boys ever. How could you not look at them like that?” Bradley looked down at you and placed a kiss on your head. “They get their glowing looks from their mama.” He smiled and rubbed his thumb on your cheek.
You shook your head and smiled while placing your hand on his, “They look exactly like their dad. They’re handsome because of you.” 
Leia came over and tugged on Bradley’s shirt. Bradley looked down at her and smiled before he picked her up. He placed a kiss on her cheek, “What’s up, my girl?” 
She pointed over to her papa Mav, “Papa Mav is summoning you, daddy.” 
Bradley laughed and let Leia down. “Thank you, sweetheart.” Bradley gave you a kiss before he left to go and sit with Mav and Penny. “Be back in a bit, babe. Go and enjoy yourself. Grandpa is calling for me.”

Bradley’s POV
I made my way over to Mav, dodging a couple of kids that were running around spraying each other with water guns. I chuckled and smiled as Mav looked up at me. 
“You rang?” I plopped myself down on a chair next to Mav and Penny. 
“Bradley.” Mav couldn’t take his eyes off of little Brad. “This is incredible. They boys are perfect. They look like a perfect mixture of you and y/n.” He looked up at me and smiled. 
I shook my head and laughed. “Y/n said they look exactly like Leia Rey when she was a baby, so she thinks they look exactly like me.” Then little Brad started to fuss. I watched as Mav frowned and gave baby Brad a pouty lip. “I got him.” I smiled and put my hands out to grab him.
Mav handed him to me, “Let’s see, Daddy Bradley at work!” He chuckled as he watched me console little Brad. 
I gave little Brad a kiss on his lips and laid him against my chest, “You’re alright, baby. Daddy is here.” I started to rub his back and rock him slowly back and forth. I laid my head gently against his head as he started to calm down in my arms.
Mav leaned forward in his chair and rested his elbows on his knees. He chuckled. “Man, you are just like your old man.” He smiled over at me and patted my back. 
I smiled back and continued to rock little Brad in my arms. “Thanks, Mav. They would have loved them. All three kids are perfect.” 
Mav smiled and nodded as he placed a hand on little Brad’s back. “Most definitely. Goose and Carole would have been all over all three of them.” 
————-
As the party continued, Mav continued to help me watch the boys as you and Penny caught up and made sure Leia was having a great time at her birthday party. 
(Summer Nights by Iration playing in the background) 
I stood by the snacks table picking off a couple of cookies here and there as I held little Brad and rocked him to the beat of the music. Mav joined me and did the same with Luke. We made some small talk and he complimented Leia’s Luau set up. 
“Papa Mav!” Leia came running over with a couple of sea shells in her hand. He smiled at her and squatted down. 
“What’s up, my little Jedi?” He placed his hand on her cheek as he continued to hold Luke close to him. 
“I brought you some sea shells to put on your work bench when you get home!” She held her hands out and was showing them all to Mav. “Here, Papa!” She was trying to put them into his hand. 
I laughed and patted Leia’s head. “Sweetheart, how about you go and ask momma for a bag so you can put them in there for safe keeping?” 
She smiled up at me and nodded, “Good idea, daddy! His hands are already full with Luke!” She kissed Luke’s head before she ran her way over to you. I laughed and shook my head.
Leia came back with the bag full of shells, “Daddy, do you think we can play a game together? Or even make a sand castle!?” She smiled up at me excitedly.
“Of course we can, sweetheart. Let me ask Aunt Nix if she can hold your baby brother first, okay?” She nodded up at me and pointed to a pile of sand. 
“I’ll meet you by the sand hill! Papa Mav, ask momma if she can hold Luke so you can help us!”  She ran for the sand hill and waited patiently with her friends and Amelia.
Mav and I made our way over to you, Penny, and Phoenix. I kissed your cheek and smiled. “I apologize for the interruption, but would you ladies care to care for these handsome boys while papa Mav and I help the birthday girl with a sand castle?” I smiled at the three of you as you started to take little Brad from my arms. 
“Of course, we wouldn’t mind!” Phoenix grabbed Luke from Mav and kissed his cheek over and over again. “I was needing some time with my favorite little men.” Phoenix started to coo at Luke. 
I pointed over at Hangman and Austin as they played a mean game of corn hole. “Oh but your favorite little men are over there?” 
She looked over at them annoyed and looked back at me, “Fuck off, Bradshaw.” 
I covered Luke’s ears, “Geez Trace, babies…” I widened my eyes at her and laughed. She rolled her eyes and I laughed, “Thank you, ladies!”
Mav and I made our way over to Leia. “Daddy, can we burry Papa Mav instead? I want to make him into a mermaid!” Leia looked up at us excitedly. 
I looked over at Mav and he looked terrified. I laughed and patted his chest, “What do you say papa Mav?” I raised my brow at him and he nodded. 
“Anything for my little Leia.” He gulped and laid down on the floor. Leia gave him a towel to lay on as all the kids started to pile sand onto him.

Your POV
You looked around for Leia for a while because it was time for her cake. You remember that Bradley said they were going to make a saddle castle with her. You walked down the the water and saw there was a group of kids, Jake, Austin, Leia, and Bradley standing around and laughing. You made your way over and patted Bradley’s back. 
“Hey, babe…. Oh my god.” You stood there trying to hold in your laughter. You looked down and saw Mav covered in sand and shaped like a mermaid. “What did you guys do to Mav?” You covered your mouth and Mav pushed his lips together. 
“Sweetheart it’s okay to laugh. They’ve been laughing at me for the last 20 minutes.” Mav looked at you with ‘help me’ eyes.
You started to laugh and then you felt bad and got your self together. “I came over here because we are ready to do Leia Rey’s cake.” You were still trying to hold in your laughter. 
Leia jumped up and screamed. “AH! Finally! Let’s go Papa Mav! It’s cake time!” Leia grabbed your hand and started to drag you and little Bradley to the tent area with all of her guests waiting for her patiently. Her friends all ran behind and followed you three.
Bradley stayed back with Jake and Austin to help Mav out of the sand. They all dusted him off and they all wrapped their arms around each other shoulders as they laughed and made fun of Mav up to the tent. 
Phoenix handed Luke to Bradley as she and Austin went to grab the cake. You were standing at the table with little Brad in your arms and Leia bouncing excitedly in front of you. Bradley came over to the three of you while he cradled Luke in his embrace. Leia gestured for you both to come down to her level. She kissed each of her brother’s on their head. “I love you, babies.” She smiled and patted their heads gently. You and Bradley looked at each other and smiled. He had tears in his eyes. He was so in love with his kids. 
Phoenix and Austin finally brought the cake over and lit the candles. 
“Okay everyone! On three! Ready? One, Two, Three!” Phoenix guided everyone into inning happy birthday. You all sang happy birthday to Leia. She was smiling big at everyone. She was full of joy and love. Her eyes were huge as she was staring at her cake. 
Bradley got on his knee and kissed Leia’s cheek after you all finished singing happy birthday. “Make a wish my girl.” 
She closed her eyes and blew out her candles. “Can I say what i wished for?” She smiled at you and Bradley. 
“But what if it doesn’t come true, babe?” Bradley raised his brow at Leia.
Leia smiled and shrugged, “I think it is already happening, daddy. I wished for us to always be together. Me, you, Momma, Luke, Bradley, and Gunner. Forever.” She smiled slightly as everyone gasped at her wish. 
You and Bradley got down on a knee and kissed Leia over and over again. “We will always be together, sweetheart. Forever and ever.” Bradley caressed her cheek and kissed her head. 
“I love you, Leia Rey. Happy birthday, my big girl.” You kissed her cheek over and over making sure each kiss was louder and harder each time. 
Everyone took their pictures of you and your family. Eventually everyone got to take their turns with taking pictures with Leia and her cake. You and Bradley stepped aside, you had tears in your eyes. Bradley pulled you in and kissed the top of your head and the boys heads. 
“It’s us forever, honey. Seven years of our family. Even though I have only been present for one.” You both started to giggle. “I love you, babe, forever. Thank you for blessing me with a baby girl as great and perfect as Leia.” Bradley held you with his free arm and laid his head on top of yours. 
“Our little girl is finally 7.” You can hear him sniffle. You looked up as you watched him watch Leia take pictures with everyone. He was so happy and over joyed with tears in his eyes. 
“Happy Birthday, my girl.”

Leia’s 7th Birthday 
You and Bradley stood there excited as you could see Leia approaching with everyone else. Jake was hauling a wagon with games in it, while Nat and Austin each held one of the boys. Leia was skipping over to the area. She hadn’t noticed it was for her yet. 
Right when she reached the top of a sand dune she smiled and pointed over to the party area, saying something back to the three adults with her. She was smiling as she pointed and you could see Jake nudge her to go take a look at this “Luau Area.” She started to run over and when she saw you and Bradley standing there at the beginning of the entrance she stopped dead in her tracks. Her eyes went wide and her jaw dropped. She covered her mouth and started to cry. 
Jake, Nat, Austin, and the boys caught up with her and she stood there frozen with tears running down her cheeks. You started to tear up and you could hear Bradley sniffling. You could see Austin crouch down next to her then placed a kiss on her cheek and nudged her to come over to her party. She gave Austin, Nat, and Jake a hug before she ran over to you and Bradley. 
She ran and slammed into you and him. Everyone yelled “Happy Birthday, Leia!” As you and Bradley got down on your knees and hugged your daughter. 
Bradley kissed Leia’s head over and over again as you hugged her. “Happy Birthday, my girl. Daddy loves you so much.” He held the both of you in a bear hug.
When you all pulled apart, you placed your hand on Leia’s cheek, wiped her tears, and fixed her hair. “Happy Birthday, My love. I love you, always.” You smiled at her and placed a kiss on her forehead. “Now go and have some fun, baby.” You placed one more kiss on her head as she nodded.  
She looked over at her party and got shy when she saw all her guests. Everyone yelled in surprise when they saw her making her way over to the party. You and Bradley made your way over to Jake, Nat, and Austin. You and Bradley grabbed the boys from Nat and Austin. You gave them all a hug and thanked them for watching the boys and keeping Leia occupied while you and Bradley set up for Leia’s Luau. You all made your way down the beach as Leia greeted all her guests. Bradley handed Luke back to Nat so that he could help Jake set up all the games that were in the wagon. 
You smiled and kissed little Brad on his cheek, “It’s your big sissy’s birthday!” You grabbed one of his little hands and bounced him around. A little grin appeared on his face. 
Nat was holding a sleeping Luke to her chest as you both watched on the party. Austin joined Bradley and Jake to help set up games. You smiled as Leia jumped around with some of her friends from school and said hi to more of her guests. You looked at Nat and smiled.
“I have a huge surprise for Leia. I hope she’s going to love it.” You looked back at your daughter as she ran around her party with her friends. 
Nat came closer to you and patted little Brad’s back. “What did you get for her?” She smiled with curiosity. 
You chuckled. “Not what, Nat. Who?” You widened your eyes at her as she looked at you confused. “Well actually, It’ll be a little gift for everyone.” You smiled back at her as she raised her brows at you. 
“Is that who, here already? Is there gonna be like a clown or something? Or is Bagman just going to be the clown to perform?” Nat started to laugh as you both looked over at the boys trying to figure out how to set up the games. She shook her head, “God, there are three of them and they can’t figure out how to set those things up.” 
You both laughed as you watched all three of them snatch the instruction sheet out of each others hands trying to explain to one another how to put the games together. You shook your head and looked back at Nat. “Close. But he wont be the clown of entertainment.” 
She looked at you with furrowed brows. “Then who?” 
You smiled and waved over to Bradley and the guys, “You’ll see soon, Nat.”
Bradley and the guys came running over to you. Jake looked frustrated as he still held onto the instructions, Bradley was smiling like a big goof at you, and Austin looked at Jake awkwardly. 
“Honey, Jake is so mad because he can’t figure out how to put the game together.” Bradley looked at Jake and laughed. 
Jake rolled his eyes and crumpled up the instructions, “Well I am paired with the dumbest pilot and the guy that gives grown men sponge baths.” 
Bradley laughed, “I don’t think you’re the dumbest pilot, Seresin. But definitely on the list.” 
Jake looked at him with wide eyes and shoved him as they both laughed. “Jerk.” Jake shook his head and threw the crumpled paper at Bradley’s head. 
“I don’t give grown men baths for a living… What do you think I do?” Austin looked up at Jake with confused yet scared eyes. 
Bradley and Jake looked at each other and laughed as they pulled Austin in for a hug. “Bradshaw is a grown man and you gave him a bath. So, I wasn’t completely wrong about your job, Aus.” Jake patted him on the chest.
Austin just shook his head and shrugged. 
Bradley brought his attention back to you and Nat who were standing there with shocked expressions on your faces. 
“What circus act did I just witness?” Nat looked at all three of them with wide eyes and a blank stare. 
Jake came over and wrapped his arm over Nat’s shoulders. “Your favorite one, that you are stuck with for the rest of your life.” Jake smiled big as Nat palmed her forehead. 
Austin took little Brad from you as Bradley came over and hugged you and gave you a kiss on your cheek. “What’s up, sweetheart?”
You smiled and nodded over towards the party. “I have a surprise for Leia and it’s ready!’ You bit your lips and jumped slightly of excitement. 
Bradley looked at you with furrowed brows, “Surprise? There is more?”
You nodded, “YES!”
You pulled Bradley over to the party, “Wait… babe, what else did we get her!?” 
Nat, Jake, Austin, and the boys followed behind you and Bradley into the party.
You and Bradley stood in the middle of the party guests. Bradley leaned down and whispered in your ear, “Babe, what did we get Leia??” Brady sounded so concern and worried. 
You giggled and patted his chest, “Don’t worry about it, babe.”
He looked up confused and then smiled at the guests and waved as you caught everyone’s attention. 
“Hi everyone! Bradley and I just wanted to thank everyone for coming out and being able to make it for our little girl’s 7th birthday. We are all excited to be able to celebrate the coming of not only our little girl, but the day our family was formed.” You looked up at Bradley and smiled. He kissed your forehead. 
Bradley looked up at the guests. “This is my first official time I get to spend with my little girl on her special day.” He got down on his knee and opened his arms to Leia. “And I can’t wait to spend the rest of them with you, baby girl.” Leia smiled and ran over to Bradley. He caught her in his arms and picked her up and kissed her over and over again. “I love you, my Leia Rey. happy birthday, Sweetheart.” 
Leia smiled at her dad as everyone started to coo over their little moment. “Thank you, daddy. I love you.” Leia kissed Bradley’s cheek.
You went over and placed a kiss on Leia’s hand and smiled. “Daddy and I… Well I have a gift for daddy and you, Leia Rey.” 
Bradley and Leia both looked at you confused with the same exact facial expression. You reached your hand out for Nat. She came over smiling while Jake and Austin followed behind. “I actually have a gift for all of you.” 
Everyone smiled at you with curious eyes. “Without further stalling.” You looked over to the entrance where their gifts were all setting up. “I know how much you miss home, baby.” You held out your hand to their gifts and everyone turned slowly. “Happy Birthday, Leia Rey. I love you.”
Bradley, Leia, Nat, Austin, and Jake all looked to where you where holding your hand out. There stood Mav, Penny, and Amelia dressed in all matching Hawaiian printed shirts and dresses. 
Bradley dropped Leia down to her feet as they both yelled. “Papa Mav!” “MAV!” Bradley and Leia both bee-lined for Mav, Penny, and Amelia. Bradley playfully pushed Leia over into the sand so he could get to them first.
“DADDY!!!” Leia started to stand up laughing. 
Bradley ran ahead and bear hugged Mav, Penny, and Amelia. “Oh my god! I missed you all so freaking much!” 
Mav patted Bradley’s back. “It’s good to see you up and running, kiddo.” 
Penny kissed Bradley’s cheek, “Oh, Rooster! You look so good! Mav had told me what happened and you are looking so good, honey!”
Amelia hugged Bradley tightly, “I’m glad you’re okay!”
Leia joined the group and squished herself into the group hug. “YOU’RE ALL HERE!” She screamed at the top of her lungs. Bradley took a step back and let Leia get her turn with them.
Mav picked up Leia and covered her in kisses. “Oh my little Jedi! You are so big!! Look at you! Happy birthday, sweetheart!” 
Penny joined in on the hug and kissed Leia’s head over and over again, “My Princess Leia! I missed you so much! Happy birthday, pretty girl!” Penny pushed Leia’s hair from her face as Leia began to cry happy tears.
Mav let Leia down and she hugged Amelia tight. “I’m so happy you are all here!” 
“Happy birthday, Leia!” Amelia gave Leia a present. Leia grabbed Amelia’s hand and ran her over to her friends. “Thank you! I wanna introduce you to my friends!!”

Bradley’s POV
I made my way back over to you and grabbed little sleeping Luke from Phoenix as you grabbed little Brad from Austin so they could all go and say hello to Mav and Penny. 
I watched as Hangman ran like a giddy little kid in the candy store to Mav. He had his hands flailing around and he was yelling, “MAV! PENNY!” he jumped into them and Phoenix followed behind with her hands in the air. She wrapped her arms around all three of them smiling. Austin joined in after Hangman and Phoenix got their fill with hugs. 
Mav came over to us and was stopped by Phantom and Evelyn. Mav’s eyes went wide and he pulled Phantom in for a hug. “It’s good to see you again, handsome!” 
Mav laughed and patted his back. “I wouldn’t miss this for the world! You remember Penny?”
Phantom gasped and threw his arms out for Penny, “Penny Benjamin! You still look as you did back when we were all getting in trouble! You remember my wife, Evelyn?”
Penny screamed when she saw Evelyn and they hugged and caught up while Mav and Phantom made their way over to you and I. 
I walked away for a second to grab bottles for little Brad and Luke.  Mav made his way over and gasped as he saw you holding little Brad. I watched from a far as his eyes flew out of his head. 
———-
Your POV
Mav came up to you with wide eyes and covered his mouth. In a high-pitched voice, he cooed over little Brad. “Ohhh my gosh! Is this himmm!?” He grabbed his little hands and gave Brad’s little knuckles kisses. “Hey, little Luke!”
Your eyes widened and you started to chuckle. “Mav…”
“Penny! Come here! They have a surprise to show you!” Mav called and waved over Penny. She came over excitedly. 
“What’s the surprise?” Her jaw dropped and her eyes went wide when she looked at you holding little Brad. “Whose baby is that, y/n?” She looked at you with squinted eyes. you started to giggle. “Y/n? Whose baby is that??” Her eyes widened when she looked at you. 
You smiled and Mav rubbed his index finger on his cheek causing little Brad to grin. “Can I hold him, y/n?” He started to tear up and you smiled. 
“Of, course you can, Mav. This is one of your grand-babies.” You handed little Brad over to Mav. Mav started to shake with him in his arms. 
“Grand-babies??” Penny was shocked and she started to tear up. “When the heck were you pregnant, y/n!?” She came over and gave you a hug, she held you tight as she patted your hair. 
“I was pregnant during my wedding, and even before that.” you hugged her back and giggled. 
She pulled back and covered her mouth, “WHAT!! I knew it! Those were not wedding nerves!” She pulled you back in tight and held you close. “God, you hid it so well, honey! Congratulations, he’s so beautiful!” She kissed your cheek and joined Mav admire and coo over little Bradley. 
“What’s his name?” Penny looked up at you and smiled. As you were about to say his name 
Mav interjected.  “Luke.” 
Penny looked up at you and smiled.  “That’s a beautiful name! Luke and Leia!” 
Mav nodded, “The little Jedis! His full name, Luke Nicolas Bradshaw.” He smiled down at little Bradley in his arms. 
You looked around and bit your lip. “uhhh.” 
Mav and Penny looked up at you and smiled. “What’s wrong, y/n?” Mav chuckled. 
Bradley finally made his way back over with the bottles for the boys. “Here you go babe, one for you and one for me.” He smiled down at you as he cradled little Luke in his arms. You both looked over at Penny and Mav. They looked down at little Bradley and then back at Bradley holding Luke slowly. 
Mav’s brows were furrowed as he looked back and forth between the baby in his arms and the one in Bradley’s arms. Penny was blinking at you and Bradley as she pointed to the baby in his arms. “Whose baby is that?” 
You and Bradley started to laugh. Mav stood there frozen. “Uhhh, Rooster? Y/n? Whose baby is that?” Penny was still waiting for an answer. 
Bradley shrugged and popped the bottle into Luke’s mouth. “Surprise!” He smiled at the both of them with wide eyes. Mav and Penny looked at each other with wide eyes. 
“We had twins.” You started to laugh as they looked at each other in shock. They looked back at you and raised their brows. 
“TWINS?!”
You nodded as Bradley handed Luke to Penny. 
“Congratulations, you two. More grandkids to watch!” Bradley laughed as they both looked down at the boys still shocked. 
“Holy. Shit.” Mav said as he looked between little Brad and Luke. Penny continued to feed Luke and you handed little Brad’s bottle to Mav so he could feed him. “Wait. So who do I have?”
Penny looked up and raised her brows. “Who is who and what are their names?” She was still shocked. 
Bradley went behind them and wrapped his arms around their shoulders. “Penny, you are holding our little Luke. Luke Nicolas Bradshaw. And Mav. you are holding our little Bradley.”
They both looked up at Bradley. Penny and Mav both started to tear up. “Bradley? You named him Bradley too?” Mav started to tear up even more. 
Bradley smiled. “Yup. Bradley Bradford Bradshaw.” 
Mav started to laugh and cry hard. “God, you are just like your old man.”
Bradley nodded his head and started to laugh. “They are beautiful, Rooster.” Penny cooed over the boys as she cried. 
Penny and Mav didn’t want to give anyone the chance to have the boys. They wanted to spend the whole party with them. You looked over periodically and watched as Mav held little Bradley in his hands and looked at him in awe. You watched as Penny took in every single detail of Luke’s face. 
You nudged Bradley and pointed over to Mav and Penny. “Look at them, Brad. They can’t take their eyes off of them.” You chuckled and smiled. You looked up at Bradley and watched him smile goofy.
“They’re in love.” He started to laugh. “They are the most handsomest boys ever. How could you not look at them like that?” Bradley looked down at you and placed a kiss on your head. “They get their glowing looks from their mama.” He smiled and rubbed his thumb on your cheek.
You shook your head and smiled while placing your hand on his, “They look exactly like their dad. They’re handsome because of you.” 
Leia came over and tugged on Bradley’s shirt. Bradley looked down at her and smiled before he picked her up. He placed a kiss on her cheek, “What’s up, my girl?” 
She pointed over to her papa Mav, “Papa Mav is summoning you, daddy.” 
Bradley laughed and let Leia down. “Thank you, sweetheart.” Bradley gave you a kiss before he left to go and sit with Mav and Penny. “Be back in a bit, babe. Go and enjoy yourself. Grandpa is calling for me.”

Bradley’s POV
I made my way over to Mav, dodging a couple of kids that were running around spraying each other with water guns. I chuckled and smiled as Mav looked up at me. 
“You rang?” I plopped myself down on a chair next to Mav and Penny. 
“Bradley.” Mav couldn’t take his eyes off of little Brad. “This is incredible. They boys are perfect. They look like a perfect mixture of you and y/n.” He looked up at me and smiled. 
I shook my head and laughed. “Y/n said they look exactly like Leia Rey when she was a baby, so she thinks they look exactly like me.” Then little Brad started to fuss. I watched as Mav frowned and gave baby Brad a pouty lip. “I got him.” I smiled and put my hands out to grab him.
Mav handed him to me, “Let’s see, Daddy Bradley at work!” He chuckled as he watched me console little Brad. 
I gave little Brad a kiss on his lips and laid him against my chest, “You’re alright, baby. Daddy is here.” I started to rub his back and rock him slowly back and forth. I laid my head gently against his head as he started to calm down in my arms.
Mav leaned forward in his chair and rested his elbows on his knees. He chuckled. “Man, you are just like your old man.” He smiled over at me and patted my back. 
I smiled back and continued to rock little Brad in my arms. “Thanks, Mav. They would have loved them. All three kids are perfect.” 
Mav smiled and nodded as he placed a hand on little Brad’s back. “Most definitely. Goose and Carole would have been all over all three of them.” 
————-
As the party continued, Mav continued to help me watch the boys as you and Penny caught up and made sure Leia was having a great time at her birthday party. 
(Summer Nights by Iration playing in the background) 
I stood by the snacks table picking off a couple of cookies here and there as I held little Brad and rocked him to the beat of the music. Mav joined me and did the same with Luke. We made some small talk and he complimented Leia’s Luau set up. 
“Papa Mav!” Leia came running over with a couple of sea shells in her hand. He smiled at her and squatted down. 
“What’s up, my little Jedi?” He placed his hand on her cheek as he continued to hold Luke close to him. 
“I brought you some sea shells to put on your work bench when you get home!” She held her hands out and was showing them all to Mav. “Here, Papa!” She was trying to put them into his hand. 
I laughed and patted Leia’s head. “Sweetheart, how about you go and ask momma for a bag so you can put them in there for safe keeping?” 
She smiled up at me and nodded, “Good idea, daddy! His hands are already full with Luke!” She kissed Luke’s head before she ran her way over to you. I laughed and shook my head.
Leia came back with the bag full of shells, “Daddy, do you think we can play a game together? Or even make a sand castle!?” She smiled up at me excitedly.
“Of course we can, sweetheart. Let me ask Aunt Nix if she can hold your baby brother first, okay?” She nodded up at me and pointed to a pile of sand. 
“I’ll meet you by the sand hill! Papa Mav, ask momma if she can hold Luke so you can help us!”  She ran for the sand hill and waited patiently with her friends and Amelia.
Mav and I made our way over to you, Penny, and Phoenix. I kissed your cheek and smiled. “I apologize for the interruption, but would you ladies care to care for these handsome boys while papa Mav and I help the birthday girl with a sand castle?” I smiled at the three of you as you started to take little Brad from my arms. 
“Of course, we wouldn’t mind!” Phoenix grabbed Luke from Mav and kissed his cheek over and over again. “I was needing some time with my favorite little men.” Phoenix started to coo at Luke. 
I pointed over at Hangman and Austin as they played a mean game of corn hole. “Oh but your favorite little men are over there?” 
She looked over at them annoyed and looked back at me, “Fuck off, Bradshaw.” 
I covered Luke’s ears, “Geez Trace, babies…” I widened my eyes at her and laughed. She rolled her eyes and I laughed, “Thank you, ladies!”
Mav and I made our way over to Leia. “Daddy, can we burry Papa Mav instead? I want to make him into a mermaid!” Leia looked up at us excitedly. 
I looked over at Mav and he looked terrified. I laughed and patted his chest, “What do you say papa Mav?” I raised my brow at him and he nodded. 
“Anything for my little Leia.” He gulped and laid down on the floor. Leia gave him a towel to lay on as all the kids started to pile sand onto him.

You looked around for Leia for a while because it was time for her cake. You remember that Bradley said they were going to make a saddle castle with her. You walked down the the water and saw there was a group of kids, Jake, Austin, Leia, and Bradley standing around and laughing. You made your way over and patted Bradley’s back. 
“Hey, babe…. Oh my god.” You stood there trying to hold in your laughter. You looked down and saw Mav covered in sand and shaped like a mermaid. “What did you guys do to Mav?” You covered your mouth and Mav pushed his lips together. 
“Sweetheart it’s okay to laugh. They’ve been laughing at me for the last 20 minutes.” Mav looked at you with ‘help me’ eyes.
You started to laugh and then you felt bad and got your self together. “I came over here because we are ready to do Leia Rey’s cake.” You were still trying to hold in your laughter. 
Leia jumped up and screamed. “AH! Finally! Let’s go Papa Mav! It’s cake time!” Leia grabbed your hand and started to drag you and little Bradley to the tent area with all of her guests waiting for her patiently. Her friends all ran behind and followed you three.
Bradley stayed back with Jake and Austin to help Mav out of the sand. They all dusted him off and they all wrapped their arms around each other shoulders as they laughed and made fun of Mav up to the tent. 
Phoenix handed Luke to Bradley as she and Austin went to grab the cake. You were standing at the table with little Brad in your arms and Leia bouncing excitedly in front of you. Bradley came over to the three of you while he cradled Luke in his embrace. Leia gestured for you both to come down to her level. She kissed each of her brother’s on their head. “I love you, babies.” She smiled and patted their heads gently. You and Bradley looked at each other and smiled. He had tears in his eyes. He was so in love with his kids. 
Phoenix and Austin finally brought the cake over and lit the candles. 
“Okay everyone! On three! Ready? One, Two, Three!” Phoenix guided everyone into inning happy birthday. You all sang happy birthday to Leia. She was smiling big at everyone. She was full of joy and love. Her eyes were huge as she was staring at her cake. 
Bradley got on his knee and kissed Leia’s cheek after you all finished singing happy birthday. “Make a wish my girl.” 
She closed her eyes and blew out her candles. “Can I say what i wished for?” She smiled at you and Bradley. 
“But what if it doesn’t come true, babe?” Bradley raised his brow at Leia.
Leia smiled and shrugged, “I think it is already happening, daddy. I wished for us to always be together. Me, you, Momma, Luke, Bradley, and Gunner. Forever.” She smiled slightly as everyone gasped at her wish. 
You and Bradley got down on a knee and kissed Leia over and over again. “We will always be together, sweetheart. Forever and ever.” Bradley caressed her cheek and kissed her head. 
“I love you, Leia Rey. Happy birthday, my big girl.” You kissed her cheek over and over making sure each kiss was louder and harder each time. 
Everyone took their pictures of you and your family. Eventually everyone got to take their turns with taking pictures with Leia and her cake. You and Bradley stepped aside, you had tears in your eyes. Bradley pulled you in and kissed the top of your head and the boys heads. 
“It’s us forever, honey. Seven years of our family. Even though I have only been present for one.” You both started to giggle. “I love you, babe, forever. Thank you for blessing me with a baby girl as great and perfect as Leia.” Bradley held you with his free arm and laid his head on top of yours. 
“Our little girl is finally 7.” You can hear him sniffle. You looked up as you watched him watch Leia take pictures with everyone. He was so happy and over joyed with tears in his eyes. 
“Happy Birthday, my girl.”

Leia’s 7th Birthday 
You and Bradley stood there excited as you could see Leia approaching with everyone else. Jake was hauling a wagon with games in it, while Nat and Austin each held one of the boys. Leia was skipping over to the area. She hadn’t noticed it was for her yet. 
Right when she reached the top of a sand dune she smiled and pointed over to the party area, saying something back to the three adults with her. She was smiling as she pointed and you could see Jake nudge her to go take a look at this “Luau Area.” She started to run over and when she saw you and Bradley standing there at the beginning of the entrance she stopped dead in her tracks. Her eyes went wide and her jaw dropped. She covered her mouth and started to cry. 
Jake, Nat, Austin, and the boys caught up with her and she stood there frozen with tears running down her cheeks. You started to tear up and you could hear Bradley sniffling. You could see Austin crouch down next to her then placed a kiss on her cheek and nudged her to come over to her party. She gave Austin, Nat, and Jake a hug before she ran over to you and Bradley. 
She ran and slammed into you and him. Everyone yelled “Happy Birthday, Leia!” As you and Bradley got down on your knees and hugged your daughter. 
Bradley kissed Leia’s head over and over again as you hugged her. “Happy Birthday, my girl. Daddy loves you so much.” He held the both of you in a bear hug.
When you all pulled apart, you placed your hand on Leia’s cheek, wiped her tears, and fixed her hair. “Happy Birthday, My love. I love you, always.” You smiled at her and placed a kiss on her forehead. “Now go and have some fun, baby.” You placed one more kiss on her head as she nodded.  
She looked over at her party and got shy when she saw all her guests. Everyone yelled in surprise when they saw her making her way over to the party. You and Bradley made your way over to Jake, Nat, and Austin. You and Bradley grabbed the boys from Nat and Austin. You gave them all a hug and thanked them for watching the boys and keeping Leia occupied while you and Bradley set up for Leia’s Luau. You all made your way down the beach as Leia greeted all her guests. Bradley handed Luke back to Nat so that he could help Jake set up all the games that were in the wagon. 
You smiled and kissed little Brad on his cheek, “It’s your big sissy’s birthday!” You grabbed one of his little hands and bounced him around. A little grin appeared on his face. 
Nat was holding a sleeping Luke to her chest as you both watched on the party. Austin joined Bradley and Jake to help set up games. You smiled as Leia jumped around with some of her friends from school and said hi to more of her guests. You looked at Nat and smiled.
“I have a huge surprise for Leia. I hope she’s going to love it.” You looked back at your daughter as she ran around her party with her friends. 
Nat came closer to you and patted little Brad’s back. “What did you get for her?” She smiled with curiosity. 
You chuckled. “Not what, Nat. Who?” You widened your eyes at her as she looked at you confused. “Well actually, It’ll be a little gift for everyone.” You smiled back at her as she raised her brows at you. 
“Is that who, here already? Is there gonna be like a clown or something? Or is Bagman just going to be the clown to perform?” Nat started to laugh as you both looked over at the boys trying to figure out how to set up the games. She shook her head, “God, there are three of them and they can’t figure out how to set those things up.” 
You both laughed as you watched all three of them snatch the instruction sheet out of each others hands trying to explain to one another how to put the games together. You shook your head and looked back at Nat. “Close. But he wont be the clown of entertainment.” 
She looked at you with furrowed brows. “Then who?” 
You smiled and waved over to Bradley and the guys, “You’ll see soon, Nat.”
Bradley and the guys came running over to you. Jake looked frustrated as he still held onto the instructions, Bradley was smiling like a big goof at you, and Austin looked at Jake awkwardly. 
“Honey, Jake is so mad because he can’t figure out how to put the game together.” Bradley looked at Jake and laughed. 
Jake rolled his eyes and crumpled up the instructions, “Well I am paired with the dumbest pilot and the guy that gives grown men sponge baths.” 
Bradley laughed, “I don’t think you’re the dumbest pilot, Seresin. But definitely on the list.” 
Jake looked at him with wide eyes and shoved him as they both laughed. “Jerk.” Jake shook his head and threw the crumpled paper at Bradley’s head. 
“I don’t give grown men baths for a living… What do you think I do?” Austin looked up at Jake with confused yet scared eyes. 
Bradley and Jake looked at each other and laughed as they pulled Austin in for a hug. “Bradshaw is a grown man and you gave him a bath. So, I wasn’t completely wrong about your job, Aus.” Jake patted him on the chest.
Austin just shook his head and shrugged. 
Bradley brought his attention back to you and Nat who were standing there with shocked expressions on your faces. 
“What circus act did I just witness?” Nat looked at all three of them with wide eyes and a blank stare. 
Jake came over and wrapped his arm over Nat’s shoulders. “Your favorite one, that you are stuck with for the rest of your life.” Jake smiled big as Nat palmed her forehead. 
Austin took little Brad from you as Bradley came over and hugged you and gave you a kiss on your cheek. “What’s up, sweetheart?”
You smiled and nodded over towards the party. “I have a surprise for Leia and it’s ready!’ You bit your lips and jumped slightly of excitement. 
Bradley looked at you with furrowed brows, “Surprise? There is more?”
You nodded, “YES!”
You pulled Bradley over to the party, “Wait… babe, what else did we get her!?” 
Nat, Jake, Austin, and the boys followed behind you and Bradley into the party.
You and Bradley stood in the middle of the party guests. Bradley leaned down and whispered in your ear, “Babe, what did we get Leia??” Brady sounded so concern and worried. 
You giggled and patted his chest, “Don’t worry about it, babe.”
He looked up confused and then smiled at the guests and waved as you caught everyone’s attention. 
“Hi everyone! Bradley and I just wanted to thank everyone for coming out and being able to make it for our little girl’s 7th birthday. We are all excited to be able to celebrate the coming of not only our little girl, but the day our family was formed.” You looked up at Bradley and smiled. He kissed your forehead. 
Bradley looked up at the guests. “This is my first official time I get to spend with my little girl on her special day.” He got down on his knee and opened his arms to Leia. “And I can’t wait to spend the rest of them with you, baby girl.” Leia smiled and ran over to Bradley. He caught her in his arms and picked her up and kissed her over and over again. “I love you, my Leia Rey. happy birthday, Sweetheart.” 
Leia smiled at her dad as everyone started to coo over their little moment. “Thank you, daddy. I love you.” Leia kissed Bradley’s cheek.
You went over and placed a kiss on Leia’s hand and smiled. “Daddy and I… Well I have a gift for daddy and you, Leia Rey.” 
Bradley and Leia both looked at you confused with the same exact facial expression. You reached your hand out for Nat. She came over smiling while Jake and Austin followed behind. “I actually have a gift for all of you.” 
Everyone smiled at you with curious eyes. “Without further stalling.” You looked over to the entrance where their gifts were all setting up. “I know how much you miss home, baby.” You held out your hand to their gifts and everyone turned slowly. “Happy Birthday, Leia Rey. I love you.”
Bradley, Leia, Nat, Austin, and Jake all looked to where you where holding your hand out. There stood Mav, Penny, and Amelia dressed in all matching Hawaiian printed shirts and dresses. 
Bradley dropped Leia down to her feet as they both yelled. “Papa Mav!” “MAV!” Bradley and Leia both bee-lined for Mav, Penny, and Amelia. Bradley playfully pushed Leia over into the sand so he could get to them first.
“DADDY!!!” Leia started to stand up laughing. 
Bradley ran ahead and bear hugged Mav, Penny, and Amelia. “Oh my god! I missed you all so freaking much!” 
Mav patted Bradley’s back. “It’s good to see you up and running, kiddo.” 
Penny kissed Bradley’s cheek, “Oh, Rooster! You look so good! Mav had told me what happened and you are looking so good, honey!”
Amelia hugged Bradley tightly, “I’m glad you’re okay!”
Leia joined the group and squished herself into the group hug. “YOU’RE ALL HERE!” She screamed at the top of her lungs. Bradley took a step back and let Leia get her turn with them.
Mav picked up Leia and covered her in kisses. “Oh my little Jedi! You are so big!! Look at you! Happy birthday, sweetheart!” 
Penny joined in on the hug and kissed Leia’s head over and over again, “My Princess Leia! I missed you so much! Happy birthday, pretty girl!” Penny pushed Leia’s hair from her face as Leia began to cry happy tears.
Mav let Leia down and she hugged Amelia tight. “I’m so happy you are all here!” 
“Happy birthday, Leia!” Amelia gave Leia a present. Leia grabbed Amelia’s hand and ran her over to her friends. “Thank you! I wanna introduce you to my friends!!” 
———-
Bradley’s POV
I made my way back over to you and grabbed little sleeping Luke from Phoenix as you grabbed little Brad from Austin so they could all go and say hello to Mav and Penny. 
I watched as Hangman ran like a giddy little kid in the candy store to Mav. He had his hands flailing around and he was yelling, “MAV! PENNY!” he jumped into them and Phoenix followed behind with her hands in the air. She wrapped her arms around all three of them smiling. Austin joined in after Hangman and Phoenix got their fill with hugs. 
Mav came over to us and was stopped by Phantom and Evelyn. Mav’s eyes went wide and he pulled Phantom in for a hug. “It’s good to see you again, handsome!” 
Mav laughed and patted his back. “I wouldn’t miss this for the world! You remember Penny?”
Phantom gasped and threw his arms out for Penny, “Penny Benjamin! You still look as you did back when we were all getting in trouble! You remember my wife, Evelyn?”
Penny screamed when she saw Evelyn and they hugged and caught up while Mav and Phantom made their way over to you and I. 
I walked away for a second to grab bottles for little Brad and Luke.  Mav made his way over and gasped as he saw you holding little Brad. I watched from a far as his eyes flew out of his head. 
———-
Your POV
Mav came up to you with wide eyes and covered his mouth. In a high-pitched voice, he cooed over little Brad. “Ohhh my gosh! Is this himmm!?” He grabbed his little hands and gave Brad’s little knuckles kisses. “Hey, little Luke!”
Your eyes widened and you started to chuckle. “Mav…”
“Penny! Come here! They have a surprise to show you!” Mav called and waved over Penny. She came over excitedly. 
“What’s the surprise?” Her jaw dropped and her eyes went wide when she looked at you holding little Brad. “Whose baby is that, y/n?” She looked at you with squinted eyes. you started to giggle. “Y/n? Whose baby is that??” Her eyes widened when she looked at you. 
You smiled and Mav rubbed his index finger on his cheek causing little Brad to grin. “Can I hold him, y/n?” He started to tear up and you smiled. 
“Of, course you can, Mav. This is one of your grand-babies.” You handed little Brad over to Mav. Mav started to shake with him in his arms. 
“Grand-babies??” Penny was shocked and she started to tear up. “When the heck were you pregnant, y/n!?” She came over and gave you a hug, she held you tight as she patted your hair. 
“I was pregnant during my wedding, and even before that.” you hugged her back and giggled. 
She pulled back and covered her mouth, “WHAT!! I knew it! Those were not wedding nerves!” She pulled you back in tight and held you close. “God, you hid it so well, honey! Congratulations, he’s so beautiful!” She kissed your cheek and joined Mav admire and coo over little Bradley. 
“What’s his name?” Penny looked up at you and smiled. As you were about to say his name 
Mav interjected.  “Luke.” 
Penny looked up at you and smiled.  “That’s a beautiful name! Luke and Leia!” 
Mav nodded, “The little Jedis! His full name, Luke Nicolas Bradshaw.” He smiled down at little Bradley in his arms. 
You looked around and bit your lip. “uhhh.” 
Mav and Penny looked up at you and smiled. “What’s wrong, y/n?” Mav chuckled. 
Bradley finally made his way back over with the bottles for the boys. “Here you go babe, one for you and one for me.” He smiled down at you as he cradled little Luke in his arms. You both looked over at Penny and Mav. They looked down at little Bradley and then back at Bradley holding Luke slowly. 
Mav’s brows were furrowed as he looked back and forth between the baby in his arms and the one in Bradley’s arms. Penny was blinking at you and Bradley as she pointed to the baby in his arms. “Whose baby is that?” 
You and Bradley started to laugh. Mav stood there frozen. “Uhhh, Rooster? Y/n? Whose baby is that?” Penny was still waiting for an answer. 
Bradley shrugged and popped the bottle into Luke’s mouth. “Surprise!” He smiled at the both of them with wide eyes. Mav and Penny looked at each other with wide eyes. 
“We had twins.” You started to laugh as they looked at each other in shock. They looked back at you and raised their brows. 
“TWINS?!”
You nodded as Bradley handed Luke to Penny. 
“Congratulations, you two. More grandkids to watch!” Bradley laughed as they both looked down at the boys still shocked. 
“Holy. Shit.” Mav said as he looked between little Brad and Luke. Penny continued to feed Luke and you handed little Brad’s bottle to Mav so he could feed him. “Wait. So who do I have?”
Penny looked up and raised her brows. “Who is who and what are their names?” She was still shocked. 
Bradley went behind them and wrapped his arms around their shoulders. “Penny, you are holding our little Luke. Luke Nicolas Bradshaw. And Mav. you are holding our little Bradley.”
They both looked up at Bradley. Penny and Mav both started to tear up. “Bradley? You named him Bradley too?” Mav started to tear up even more. 
Bradley smiled. “Yup. Bradley Bradford Bradshaw.” 
Mav started to laugh and cry hard. “God, you are just like your old man.”
Bradley nodded his head and started to laugh. “They are beautiful, Rooster.” Penny cooed over the boys as she cried. 
Penny and Mav didn’t want to give anyone the chance to have the boys. They wanted to spend the whole party with them. You looked over periodically and watched as Mav held little Bradley in his hands and looked at him in awe. You watched as Penny took in every single detail of Luke’s face. 
You nudged Bradley and pointed over to Mav and Penny. “Look at them, Brad. They can’t take their eyes off of them.” You chuckled and smiled. You looked up at Bradley and watched him smile goofy.
“They’re in love.” He started to laugh. “They are the most handsomest boys ever. How could you not look at them like that?” Bradley looked down at you and placed a kiss on your head. “They get their glowing looks from their mama.” He smiled and rubbed his thumb on your cheek.
You shook your head and smiled while placing your hand on his, “They look exactly like their dad. They’re handsome because of you.” 
Leia came over and tugged on Bradley’s shirt. Bradley looked down at her and smiled before he picked her up. He placed a kiss on her cheek, “What’s up, my girl?” 
She pointed over to her papa Mav, “Papa Mav is summoning you, daddy.” 
Bradley laughed and let Leia down. “Thank you, sweetheart.” Bradley gave you a kiss before he left to go and sit with Mav and Penny. “Be back in a bit, babe. Go and enjoy yourself. Grandpa is calling for me.”
———-
Bradley’s POV
I made my way over to Mav, dodging a couple of kids that were running around spraying each other with water guns. I chuckled and smiled as Mav looked up at me. 
“You rang?” I plopped myself down on a chair next to Mav and Penny. 
“Bradley.” Mav couldn’t take his eyes off of little Brad. “This is incredible. They boys are perfect. They look like a perfect mixture of you and y/n.” He looked up at me and smiled. 
I shook my head and laughed. “Y/n said they look exactly like Leia Rey when she was a baby, so she thinks they look exactly like me.” Then little Brad started to fuss. I watched as Mav frowned and gave baby Brad a pouty lip. “I got him.” I smiled and put my hands out to grab him.
Mav handed him to me, “Let’s see, Daddy Bradley at work!” He chuckled as he watched me console little Brad. 
I gave little Brad a kiss on his lips and laid him against my chest, “You’re alright, baby. Daddy is here.” I started to rub his back and rock him slowly back and forth. I laid my head gently against his head as he started to calm down in my arms.
Mav leaned forward in his chair and rested his elbows on his knees. He chuckled. “Man, you are just like your old man.” He smiled over at me and patted my back. 
I smiled back and continued to rock little Brad in my arms. “Thanks, Mav. They would have loved them. All three kids are perfect.” 
Mav smiled and nodded as he placed a hand on little Brad’s back. “Most definitely. Goose and Carole would have been all over all three of them.” 
————-
As the party continued, Mav continued to help me watch the boys as you and Penny caught up and made sure Leia was having a great time at her birthday party. 
(Summer Nights by Iration playing in the background) 
I stood by the snacks table picking off a couple of cookies here and there as I held little Brad and rocked him to the beat of the music. Mav joined me and did the same with Luke. We made some small talk and he complimented Leia’s Luau set up. 
“Papa Mav!” Leia came running over with a couple of sea shells in her hand. He smiled at her and squatted down. 
“What’s up, my little Jedi?” He placed his hand on her cheek as he continued to hold Luke close to him. 
“I brought you some sea shells to put on your work bench when you get home!” She held her hands out and was showing them all to Mav. “Here, Papa!” She was trying to put them into his hand. 
I laughed and patted Leia’s head. “Sweetheart, how about you go and ask momma for a bag so you can put them in there for safe keeping?” 
She smiled up at me and nodded, “Good idea, daddy! His hands are already full with Luke!” She kissed Luke’s head before she ran her way over to you. I laughed and shook my head.
Leia came back with the bag full of shells, “Daddy, do you think we can play a game together? Or even make a sand castle!?” She smiled up at me excitedly.
“Of course we can, sweetheart. Let me ask Aunt Nix if she can hold your baby brother first, okay?” She nodded up at me and pointed to a pile of sand. 
“I’ll meet you by the sand hill! Papa Mav, ask momma if she can hold Luke so you can help us!”  She ran for the sand hill and waited patiently with her friends and Amelia.
Mav and I made our way over to you, Penny, and Phoenix. I kissed your cheek and smiled. “I apologize for the interruption, but would you ladies care to care for these handsome boys while papa Mav and I help the birthday girl with a sand castle?” I smiled at the three of you as you started to take little Brad from my arms. 
“Of course, we wouldn’t mind!” Phoenix grabbed Luke from Mav and kissed his cheek over and over again. “I was needing some time with my favorite little men.” Phoenix started to coo at Luke. 
I pointed over at Hangman and Austin as they played a mean game of corn hole. “Oh but your favorite little men are over there?” 
She looked over at them annoyed and looked back at me, “Fuck off, Bradshaw.” 
I covered Luke’s ears, “Geez Trace, babies…” I widened my eyes at her and laughed. She rolled her eyes and I laughed, “Thank you, ladies!”
Mav and I made our way over to Leia. “Daddy, can we burry Papa Mav instead? I want to make him into a mermaid!” Leia looked up at us excitedly. 
I looked over at Mav and he looked terrified. I laughed and patted his chest, “What do you say papa Mav?” I raised my brow at him and he nodded. 
“Anything for my little Leia.” He gulped and laid down on the floor. Leia gave him a towel to lay on as all the kids started to pile sand onto him.

Your POV
You looked around for Leia for a while because it was time for her cake. You remember that Bradley said they were going to make a saddle castle with her. You walked down the the water and saw there was a group of kids, Jake, Austin, Leia, and Bradley standing around and laughing. You made your way over and patted Bradley’s back. 
“Hey, babe…. Oh my god.” You stood there trying to hold in your laughter. You looked down and saw Mav covered in sand and shaped like a mermaid. “What did you guys do to Mav?” You covered your mouth and Mav pushed his lips together. 
“Sweetheart it’s okay to laugh. They’ve been laughing at me for the last 20 minutes.” Mav looked at you with ‘help me’ eyes.
You started to laugh and then you felt bad and got your self together. “I came over here because we are ready to do Leia Rey’s cake.” You were still trying to hold in your laughter. 
Leia jumped up and screamed. “AH! Finally! Let’s go Papa Mav! It’s cake time!” Leia grabbed your hand and started to drag you and little Bradley to the tent area with all of her guests waiting for her patiently. Her friends all ran behind and followed you three.
Bradley stayed back with Jake and Austin to help Mav out of the sand. They all dusted him off and they all wrapped their arms around each other shoulders as they laughed and made fun of Mav up to the tent. 
Phoenix handed Luke to Bradley as she and Austin went to grab the cake. You were standing at the table with little Brad in your arms and Leia bouncing excitedly in front of you. Bradley came over to the three of you while he cradled Luke in his embrace. Leia gestured for you both to come down to her level. She kissed each of her brother’s on their head. “I love you, babies.” She smiled and patted their heads gently. You and Bradley looked at each other and smiled. He had tears in his eyes. He was so in love with his kids. 
Phoenix and Austin finally brought the cake over and lit the candles. 
“Okay everyone! On three! Ready? One, Two, Three!” Phoenix guided everyone into inning happy birthday. You all sang happy birthday to Leia. She was smiling big at everyone. She was full of joy and love. Her eyes were huge as she was staring at her cake. 
Bradley got on his knee and kissed Leia’s cheek after you all finished singing happy birthday. “Make a wish my girl.” 
She closed her eyes and blew out her candles. “Can I say what i wished for?” She smiled at you and Bradley. 
“But what if it doesn’t come true, babe?” Bradley raised his brow at Leia.
Leia smiled and shrugged, “I think it is already happening, daddy. I wished for us to always be together. Me, you, Momma, Luke, Bradley, and Gunner. Forever.” She smiled slightly as everyone gasped at her wish. 
You and Bradley got down on a knee and kissed Leia over and over again. “We will always be together, sweetheart. Forever and ever.” Bradley caressed her cheek and kissed her head. 
“I love you, Leia Rey. Happy birthday, my big girl.” You kissed her cheek over and over making sure each kiss was louder and harder each time. 
Everyone took their pictures of you and your family. Eventually everyone got to take their turns with taking pictures with Leia and her cake. You and Bradley stepped aside, you had tears in your eyes. Bradley pulled you in and kissed the top of your head and the boys heads. 
“It’s us forever, honey. Seven years of our family. Even though I have only been present for one.” You both started to giggle. “I love you, babe, forever. Thank you for blessing me with a baby girl as great and perfect as Leia.” Bradley held you with his free arm and laid his head on top of yours. 
“Our little girl is finally 7.” You can hear him sniffle. You looked up as you watched him watch Leia take pictures with everyone. He was so happy and over joyed with tears in his eyes. 
“Happy Birthday, my girl.”
