Bradley’s POV

I made my way down to the lobby. Everyone had just arrived outside in the front. 

The first ones here were Austin, Phoenix, and Hangman. I went up behind them as they were all talking. I wedged myself in between all of them and wrapped my arms around their shoulders.

“Oh my gosh! Rooster!” Phoenix whipped around quickly and hugged me tight. “How are they?” She was bouncing with excitement. 

I hugged Hangman and Austin. “They’re great! We got to see baby boy b earlier this morning and they said he was doing a lot better today with breathing.” 

Hangman patted my chest, “That’s great, Bradshaw. How is momma doin?” 

I nodded, “She’s doing great. They’re all perfect.”

Austin rubbed my back, “Congratulations again, Bradley.”

I smiled and patted his back, “Thank you, Aus.”

Hangman rubbed his hands together, “So when do we get to go see them?” He looked at me excitedly. 

I sighed and brought him under my wing, “You guys will all get to see them after their big sister meets them.” 

Phoenix squealed in excitement. “I can’t wait for our Leia girl to see them!” She jumped up and down as she clung onto Austin. He chuckled and kissed her temple. 

“Speak of the princess.” Austin waved over to Phantom, Evelyn, and the girls. 

Austin squatted down and had his arms open, “Leia Rey!” She ran into his arms and hugged him tight. 

“Hi, my Austin!” He chuckled and kissed her head. 

Leia went over to give a hug and kiss to Phoenix. “Hi, Aunt Phoenix! I missed you!” Phoenix kissed her over and over again. 

Leia ran over to Hangman and jumped into his arms, “Uncle Jakey!” 

“Hey, honey!” He gave her a big kiss and spun her around. 

She came over to me and put her arms up for me to pick her up. “Holy shit. Have you gotten bigger, vapor girl? You’re so heavy!” 

“Daddy!” She giggled and kissed my cheek. “Daddy, why are we here? Are you okay?” She looked at me concerned. 

I nodded, “I’m okay, baby girl. We are here for mommy.” 

Her jaw dropped, “Is she okay?”

I smiled and kissed her cheek, “She’s doing a lot better now.” 

Leia nodded and looked at me with furrowed brows, “Can I go and see her?” 

“Of course, baby. We can go and see her now.” I kissed her temple before letting her down. 

I greeted and hugged Phantom, Evelyn, and the girls. As phantom greeted me he pulled me in close and whispered, “Congratulations, Brad.” And patted my back so Leia wouldn’t hear. 

Leia held my hand as we all walked through the hospital and went up the elevator. I let everyone know they could wait in the waiting area until I came back to get them. I held Leia’s hand and we skipped down to your room. I opened the door slowly. 

“Momma, Leia is here.” I sung to you through the curtain. I opened the curtain slowly. 

“Momma!” Leia ran over to you and hugged you. “Are you okay? What happened?” She looked at you with concern. You patted her hair back and looked at me with a smile. 

“I’m okay, baby.” You kissed her head, “Come and sit with me, my Leia Rey.” She climbed into the bed with you and sat. 

“What happened, momma?” You smiled at her and played with her hair. 

“I had to come to the hospital while you were at Kaia and Kamalani’s house. Your little brothers were ready to come out.”

Her eyes grew wide. “Momma!”

You giggled and kissed her cheek, “Do you want to meet one of your little bothers?”

She got onto her knees and bounced on the bed while nodding her head. I came around and grabbed baby boy A from the bassinet. I held him in my hands and kissed his nose. “All right, Leia Rey, I need you to sit back next to momma, okay?” She nodded excitedly. You helped her position her arms and I placed her little brother into her arms. 

She gasped. Her eyes were wide and her mouth hung open. “He’s so small!” She couldn’t take her eyes off of him. “Hi, baby brother. I love you so much!” Leia rubbed her nose gently to his. She placed a little kiss on his lips. She started to tear up. “Momma, daddy. I’m so happy.” 

“Oh my girl.” I sat down next to her and wiped her tears. You rubbed her back and helped her support baby boy A’s head. 

She looked at him in awe. She looked up at you and I. “Where is the other one?” She was concerned.

I chuckled and kissed her head. “He’s being taken care of in a very special room, my love.” 

“Is he okay?” 

I nodded and pinched her cheek, “He just had a little bit of a hard time breathing when he was born, so the doctor is helping him with his breathing.”

She nodded, “Can I see him?” 

You placed a kiss on Leia’s head, “You’ll be able to see him in 2 days when he is all better.” 

She nodded again, “Okay.” She looked back down at her baby brother in her arms. She looked up quickly to you and I. “Mommy, Daddy, can we name him Luke?” She looked at the both of us with wide eyes. 

I chuckled and rubbed my index finger along his cheek. “You wanna name him Luke?”

She nodded, “Yea! Cause I’m Leia!” 

You started to laugh, “I love you, Leia Rey.”

Your POV

Bradley left the room to go and get the rest of the family. You were holding baby boy A again as Leia looked on. She couldn’t take her eyes off him. Bradley came back with everyone. 

They came in quietly with flowers and gifts for you and your baby boys. They all came in with excited expressions and gasping at the sight before them. Phoenix bounced her way over to you with her hands over her mouth. She gave you a hug and a kiss on the head and she leaned over the bed to get a look at the newest Bradshaw. 

“Oh he’s beautiful!” She covered her mouth as she looked at him asleep in your arms. 

Austin made his way around and leaned up against Phoenix to get a look at your baby boy. “My oh my. A lady killer he’s going to be, darlin.” He chuckled. Phoenix moved over and he placed a kiss on your temple. He placed his hand gently on him. “Oh my, he’s so small!”

Hangman came over on the side with Leia. He picked her up and sat on the bed next to you with Leia in his lap. He looked over at the little Bradshaw in your arms, “Oh boy, he is a handsome little guy.” He smiled as he looked on. He placed a kiss to your cheek. “You look good too, momma. Don’t even look like you’ve had babies.” He chuckled and you patted his arm.

“Thank you, Jake.” You started to laugh. 

They all moved out of the way so Phantom and his family could come and see you and the newest little baby. Evelyn sat on one side of the bed next to you and Phantom stood on the other side with the girls. 

Evelyn started to tear up, “Oh he looks just like Rooster when he was a baby.” She covered her mouth and placed her other hand gently on the top of baby boy’s head. “So precious.”

Phantom chuckled and hugged you, “He’s beautiful you two.” He got a better look at your son. The girls looked over the railing in amazement. They were smiling big at your son. 

After everyone met your son, everyone sat around cooing over him. 

Hangman came over to Bradley and wrapped his arm around his shoulders. “So Bradshaw, does baby Bradshaw have a name?” He said it loud bought for everyone to hear and become interested. 

Bradley chuckled and looked over at you. You nodded to him and he sighed. “He does.” He went over to you and gently took baby boy A from your arms. He removed his blanket to reveal his Darth Vader onesie. Everyone started to “aawh” over his outfit. 

“Oh shit, did you name him Darth?” Hangman started to laugh. 

Bradley rolled his eyes and shook his head. He brought his son’s head up to his lips and placed a kiss to his temple. “Everyone. This is our little Luke Nicolas Bradshaw.” 

They all gasped and covered their mouths. 

“HIS NAME IS LUKE!” Leia hopped out of Austin’s lap excitedly. 

Bradley started to laugh and shushed her. “Yes, baby girl. This is your little brother Luke.” Bradley got down on his knee and Leia came over to look at his onesie. 

“Hi Luke. I’m Leia.” She bit her lower lip and looked at her little brother. Everyone gushed over their little interaction. Leia placed a kiss on his cheek before Bradley stood back up. 

Everyone took turns coming over to see his little onesie he was wearing. After they all viewed baby Luke, Bradley placed him back in his bassinet to sleep. Bradley was still trying to recover from his injuries so his arms got tired quickly. 

———-

Bradley’s POV 

I brought the adults to go and see our baby boy B. They weren’t allowed to go into the room so we viewed him from the window as the nurse held him up. Phantom came and patted me on the back as Evelyn hugged me.

“They’re beautiful, Rooster.” Evelyn laid onto my chest as she hugged me. 

I wrapped my arm around her and rubbed her shoulder. “Thank you, Evelyn.”

“You’re gonna be a great dad, Bradshaw. You’re just like your old man.” Phantom patted my back and smiled at me.

I chuckled and gave him a smirk, “Thank you, sir.” 

Phoenix was hugging Austin as we all looked on to baby boy B. Hangman had his arms crossed and was smiling at him. Phantom and Evelyn went back to the room to get their girls so Phantom could bring them back home before he went back to work. Leia was going to stay with us and be taken home later by Austin, Phoenix, and Hangman. 

Austin came up to me and rubbed my back, “You have a pair of handsome little guys, Brad.” He chuckled as we looked on at baby boy B. I wrapped my arm around his shoulders and squeezed him gently. 

“Thanks, Aus. For everything.” 

He shook his head, “No need to thank me. I know you would have done the same for me.” He patted my back again, “I’ll see you all back in the room.” Austin gave Phoenix a kiss on the head before he went back to the room to be with Leia and you.

Phoenix came over and wrapped her arms around my waist, She laid her head on the side of my chest. “Gosh, Bradshaw. You have boys!” She clung onto me and looked at my little boy. 

Hangman sighed and came to stand next to me. “God look at em.” He leaned closer to the window to look at him. “Does he look like you or y/n?” He chuckled as he waved at baby boy B with his finger. 

I wrapped my arms around Phoenix’s shoulders, “Y/n said the boys look just like Leia when she was born.” 

Phoenix and Hangman both looked at me with mischievous eyes. “So they look just like you.” The said in unison as they laughed. 

“Damn. Y/n is gonna have a run for her money with 4 of you in the house.” Hangman chuckled. 

Phoenix got up on her tip toes and placed a kiss on my cheek. “I’ll see you boys back in the room. I wanna get a turn to hold little Luke.” She patted my chest and patted Hangman’s back before leaving. 

Hangman and I stood there with our arms crossed looking at my son. I saw a smirk appear on Hangman’s face. He turned to me with the cockiest grin. “So Rooster. Can I ask you a personal question?” He raised his brows.

I rolled my eyes and laughed, “Would it matter if I did?” I looked at him with a smirk.

He laughed came over to me and placed his hand on my shoulder. “Would you a year and a half ago would have believed that you a year and a half later would have 3 kid and be married to the love of your life?” He continued to look at my son as the nurse began to settle him back into the incubator. 

I took a deep breath in and held it for a little. I licked my lips and narrowed my eyes as I began to think. I let my breath out slowly. I bit my lips and brought my hand up to comb my mustache down. “Hmmm.” I looked at him and he looked at me. “Y’know…” I looked down and bit my lower lip. “If I am being honest with you… No, I thought the mission was it for me. Thought I would possibly die there if I was chosen and that would have been it for me.” I pushed my lips together and looked back up at him.

He looked at me shocked. “Wow. That’s deep.” I nodded at him. He patted my chest and smiled, “Well I’m glad that wasn’t the case. You deserve all of this, Rooster.” He smiled and gave me a hug. 

I laid on his shoulder and patted his back, “Thanks, Seresin. I am also quite fond of us being friends instead of me wanting to slap you across the face everyday.” I started to laugh.

He pulled back and looked at me with furrowed brows, “Gosh, is that all we are? You’re friend zoning me, Bradshaw?” He raised one of his brows. 

I laughed and shook my head. I pushed him off of me. “Shut up, Bagman.” We took one last look at my son before we headed back to the room.

———-

We got back to the room and Phoenix and Austin were cuddled up on the couch as Phoenix held Luke. I smiled as Phoenix had her pinky in Luke’s grasp. I went and sat with you on the bed. “Hey, sweetheart.” I kissed your temple. 

You laid against my shoulder. I winced slightly at the pain. You looked at me concerned. “Oh, Bradley, are you okay?” You rubbed my chest.

I nodded, “I forgot to bring my medication with me, baby, but I’m okay. Just in a little pain.” I kissed your head again. 

“Well let me see if the doctor can bring you something, so you’re not in so much pain, Brad.” You pushed the assistance button on your remote. The nurse came in quickly.

I went to go and sit with Austin and Phoenix. “Gosh, they’re freaking identical, Bradley.” Austin chuckled as he rubbed his index finger against Luke’s chest.

I laid back and nodded, “They are. We are going to have to put them in different outfits so they never get mixed up.” I chuckled. “Howeverrrrrr…. Baby boy B is bigger than Luke.”

Phoenix laughed, “Oh my gosh, no way? Luke is huge!”

I placed my hand on the top of Luke’s head and kissed him softly, “Oh but he is.”

Hangman came over and sat on the floor with his back against my legs. “I forgot to ask when we went to go and see him. Does baby boy B have a name?”

I nodded. “He does have a name.” I looked over at you and smiled. The nurse came in with some medication for me. I took it and sat back and relaxed into the couch. 

“What is his name, daddy?” Leia came over and sat on my lap. I looked at you again and raised my brows. You shook your head and winked. 

I looked at all of them and shook my head. “You’ll all find out when you meet him.”

Hangman spun around on his butt and slapped my leg, “Aww come on, Bradshaw.” 

I shrugged. “Sorry, per my wife it’s a secret.” I laughed as they all looked at you and I disappointed. 

———-

The next day, they took baby boy B off the oxygen tube. They said that if he did well for the next 48 hours without it, he would be cleared to go home with us. We made our way over to the NICU to see our baby boy. You carried Luke in your arms as I pushed you in the wheelchair again. We made it into the room and you rose slowly from the wheelchair. I took Luke from you and you went over to see baby boy B. You put your hand into the incubator and caressed his cheek. 

“Hi, my baby. Mommy’s here.” The nurse came over and opened the incubator to let you grab our son. You picked him up and kissed him over and over again. You came over to me and we held our boys up next to one another. “Look at ‘em, Bradley.” You looked at our boys in awe. “They’re so precious.” You bit your lip and looked up at me. 

I kissed your lips slowly, “Just think, baby. Two days from now we will all be home.” I smiled at you and kissed you again. I looked at our little boy in your hands and gave him a kiss. “I can’t wait to smother you boys in love when we get home.” 

We stayed in the NICU for at least 4 hours just bonding with the boys. You tried to breast feed baby boy B. We changed his diapers a couple of times. He almost sprayed me down like Luke did whenever I changed his diaper. 

We switched boys. I held baby boy B as you fed Luke. I held him in my hands and brought his little face close to mine. I kissed his lips and rubbed the tip of my nose to his. I danced around the room with him.

“Sweetheart, What should I sing to him?” I looked at you and smiled as I bounced him around in my hands. 

You looked up and bit your lip. “Hmmmm.” You started to chew on your lower lip, “How about Little Wonders by Rob Thomas?” You smiled sweetly at me. 

I chuckled. “Perfect.”

I continued to bounce and rock our son gently in my hands. I was so lost in his presence. He was perfect. As I sang to him a little smirk appeared on his face. My boys were so full of joy already and they were only 2 days old. My heart was full. I had everything I needed in life. 

“All of my regret will wash away somehow. But I cannot forget… The way I feel right now… In these small hours, these little wonders…”

I placed a kiss on his little cheeks and it was as if he just relaxed into my hands. His head lolled back slightly and he was in a deep sleep once again. “I love you, baby boy. Daddy loves you so much.” 

———-

It was time for us to all finally go home. We had been in the hospital for nearly four days. The doctors wanted to make sure you and the boys were recovering smoothly. You all had checks before you were to be released. Austin and Leia met up with us at the hospital. Austin brought the carseats for us. He and Leia brought them up to the room as we were getting ready to check you and the boys out. You changed into some comfy clothes. Then we changed the boys into new outfits to go home in. 

Your POV 

You were changing Luke into his take home outfit while Bradley changed baby boy B into his. They were both laying on the bed across from one another. 

“Oh you look so cute, Luke!” You giggled as you finished putting his outfit on. He was wearing a little flight suit onesie that you had custom made for the boys to go home in. Luke’s onesie had his initials on it and Baby boy B had his initials on his. There weren’t the flight suits you sent to Bradley as a surprise. These ones were different.

You picked up Luke and gave him kisses on his cheek. Austin held Leia on his hip and brought her over to look at her little brother Luke. “Momma, he looks so cute in his little flight suit!” She leaned forward and kissed his forehead. 

You placed him into his carseat and strapped him in. You fixed his little belt straps and caressed his cheek with your index knuckle. You went over to Bradley and laid on his bicep as he continued to change your little boy. He finished putting his little limbs into his little flight suit and he zipped it up. 

“There we go. All ready to go home.” He picked him up and blew a little raspberry into his cheek. He put him into his carseat and looked at you. “Sweetheart, I have no idea how to use one of these things.” He chuckled and looked at you with puppy dog eyes. “Please help.”

You rubbed his arm and helped him. “It’s like Leia’s carseat, Just make sure you adjust the straps like how Luke’s are. You turned Luke’s carseat so Bradley you’d look at his belt straps. 

Bradley buckled him in and chuckled. “Not bad for my first time, right, sweetheart?” 

You nodded and kissed his arm. “Perfect Bradley.”

Austin and Leia cam around the side the see them both. “Aww man, look at them together, Darlin.” Austin kissed Leia’s cheek. “You’re gonna be the best big sister ever.” He tickled her belly and she giggled. 

“I can’t wait for them to get home!” Leia looked at her bothers with excitement. Austin let her down and she went to get a better look at her brothers. He put a finger from each of her hands int their fists. She started to tear up. “You’re going to be my best friends, forever. I am so happy!” She wiped her tears from her face. She looked up at you and Bradley. “I love them so much.” 

Bradley got down on his knee and kissed Leia’s cheek, “You are the sweetest little babe ever, Leia girl.” 

Leia sniffled and wiped her eyes, “I’m not little anymore, daddy. I’m a big sister.” She started to giggle.

Bradley tucked her hair behind her ear. “You’re absolutely right, baby. But you will always be my little girl.” He kissed her cheek and pinched her chin. 

Bradley stood up and rubbed his hands together. “Now… Let’s get these little boys home so everyone can meet them properly.” He looked at you and kissed your head. 

Austin helped you into the wheelchair. Bradley Picked up both boys’ carseats and carried them.

“Hey, Bradley do you want some help with them?” Austin came over to Bradley with his hands out. 

Bradley shook his head, “No I’ll be okay. I want to carry them out.” He smiled at Austin. “But thank you, Austin.”

You looked at Bradley concerned, “Honey, are you sure? I don’t want you to hurt yourself.”

Bradley smiled at you and nodded, “I’ll be fine, sweetheart. Promise.” 

Austin threw yours and Bradley’s bag over his shoulder and pushed you in the wheelchair as you held your gifts in your lap, Leia held the boy’s bag over her shoulder, and Bradley carried the boys in their carseats. Everyone in the hospital congratulated you and Bradley as you made your way out to your cars. Austin had pulled the car up to the circle so you didn’t have to go far with all your stuff. Austin had Evelyn’s car behind the truck. He quickly transferred the carseat holders into the truck so Bradley could lock the boys in. Austin helped you into the car. Bradley locked the boys into their carseat holders and shook them a little bit to make sure they were secure. 

“I’m gonna go home with Austin!” Leia called over to you and Bradley. Austin grabbed the gifts from you and placed them into Evelyn’s car along with all the luggage and the boy’s bags. 

Leia and Austin both gave you a kiss on the cheek. “We will see you all at home. Drive safely.” 

Austin shot Bradley a wink before he picked up Leia and brought her over to the car. 

Bradley looked at you and smiled big as he grabbed your hand. “You ready to bring the boys home, baby?” He kissed your hand.

You smiled sweetly and squeezed Bradley’s hand. You looked back at the boys and nodded, “Show me the way home, honey.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You and Bradley finally pulled into the driveway of your house. Jake’s truck was already in the driveway, so that meant he and Nat were already home from work. Bradley turned off the truck and looked at you. He raised his brows and smiled. 

“You ready, sweetheart?”

You bit your lower lip and nodded. “Definitely.”

Bradley unbuckled himself and came around to help you. You got out of the car and stood there waiting for him. He went to open both of the back doors to start getting the boys out. He popped Luke’s car seat out and you popped baby boy B’s car seat out. Bradley took him from you and nodded towards the door. “Let’s get them inside, baby.” You walked over to the door and opened it. 

You were welcomed into the house with a bunch of blue balloons and a whole dinner table full of food and desserts. Jake and Nat came running over to Welcome all four of you home. 

“Holy shit, you guys!” Bradley chuckled as he set the boys down and hugged them. 

“Welcome home!” They came over and hugged you. Shortly after Leia and Austin came through the door and were greeted by Jake and Nat as well. 

Bradley picked up the boys and brought them over to the couch area. He sat their car seats down on the coffee table and started to remove them from their car seats. He handed Luke to Jake, who eagerly awaited holding at least one of the babies. He started to undo baby boy B’s belts. When he finally got him out he held him to his face. 

“Meet our other little boy, everyone.” He grabbed his little hand and made him wave to everyone. 

Everyone started to “Awwwh” at your baby boy. Bradley handed him to Nat. 

“Oh my gosh. Look at them both in their little flight suits.” She sat on the couch next to Jake as they looked at the boys eagerly. Austin sat next to Nat and wrapped his arm over her shoulders. Leia sat next to her uncle Jake and looked at her little brother. 

You sat on the single sofa and finally felt relaxed to be home. Bradley came over and sat on the arm of the chair. He leaned back and put his arm behind you. He kissed the top of your head as you both watched them all get to know your boys. 

“Rooster, how can you tell them apart? They look exactly alike.” Jake laughed and looked at Bradley.

He looked down at you and you nodded. He looked back up to all of them as they looked at Bradley for his answer. “Well, we dressed them accordingly.” He chuckled.

“Bradshaw. They are wearing the same exact thing. What are you talking about?” Nat laughed. 

Bradley shook his head, “Their initials are on each of their onesies. All of their clothes are like that so they don’t ever get mixed up.” He started to laugh as he leaned into you. 

“Oh, you’re right!” Jake held Luke in one hand on his lap as he ran his free hand’s index finger over the little initials embroidered onto Luke’s little onesie. “L.N.B.” He smiled. “Luke Nicolas Bradshaw.” He chuckled cleverly.

Austin leaned into Nat’s back. “Baby Boy B still only has B.B.B on his though?” They all looked up at you and Bradley. 

“Does he not have a name yet?” Nat raised her brow at the both of you.

Bradley rolled his eyes and sighed, “He does, I told you all that. His initials just happen to be the same as baby boy B. It was not planned. Well, kind of.” Bradley furrowed his brows and smiled at you. “You wanna tell them his name, sweetheart?”

You giggled and shook your head, “No, honey. You can tell them.” 

He nodded and kissed the top of your head. “Okay.”

Jake scoffed, “Can someone just tell us his name already. I’m dying to know.” He laughed and Nat looked over at him with narrowed eyes. 

“Rush much, Bagman.” She chuckled and shook her head.

Austin looked at you and Bradley. “What’s the handsome fellow’s name?” He placed his index finger into baby boy b’s hand. 

Bradley looked at you one more time before looking at them and smiling. He licked his lips and bit his bottom one and let out a little chuckle. 

“His name is Bradley.” 

Jake palmed his forehead, “Oh you have got to be shitting me.” Leia slapped her uncle Jake’s arm. 

“Uncle Jakey that’s not nice.” Jake placed a kiss on Leia’s head. 

“I’m sorry, honey. You’re right. I apologize.” 

Austin chuckled. “Bradley.”

Nat smiled at Bradley. “After you, huh?”

Bradley nodded and smiled. “Yup.”

Hangman looked over baby Bradley’s little flight suit, “There are three Bs, Rooster. Don’t leave us on a cliff hanger now.” He chuckled and looked up at Bradley with a mischievous grin. 

Bradley leaned back and started to laugh. “Yup. Our triple B.” 

“Well?” Jake raised his brows at Bradley. “His name?”

Bradley smiled really big, “Bradley Bradford Bradshaw.” 

Jake put his eyes into his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose, “Holy shit, Bradshaw.” He shook his head in his hand. 

Nat had her mouth wide open in a grin and blinked her eyes slowly. She was trying to hold back her laughter. 

Austin had his hand over his mouth, but you and Bradley could both see he was hiding a huge smile behind it. He looked down and over at Natasha. She still had her mouth wide and her eyes even wider. 

“Come on, Bradshaw.” Jake started to chuckle. 

Leia jumped up from her place by her uncle Jakey. She placed her hands on her head and jumped around. “DADDY HE’LL BE BULLIED!”

You looked up at Bradley and started to laugh loudly. He pushed his lips in a line and looked down. 

Jake finally looked up at Bradley, “Did you pick his name, Bradshaw? You know names are permanent?” He made his eyes wide. 

Bradley licked his lips and looked up at his friends. He had a small smirk on his face.

“Rooster… Is this a joke? Are you messing with us? Or are you for real?” Nat narrowed her eyes at Bradley.

Bradley raised his eyebrows in shock. “I’m not kidding. That is baby boy’s name.”

Nat’s look turned into a soft smile. “I personally love it.” 

Austin lightly scratched at baby Bradley’s stomach, “Hey, baby Brad.”

Jake shook his head and looked at Bradley with a raised brow. “You and your old man have the same sick sense of humor.” Jake started to laugh and Bradley joined. “That’s one hell of a name, Bradshaw.” Jake smiled and looked over at baby Bradley. 

“We have a Brad Brad and now we have a Brad cubed,” Nat said in a baby voice to baby Bradley as she caressed his cheeks.

Leia went over to her little brother and looked at him with concern. “Bradley Bradford Bradshaw…” She pushed her lips together and looked at you and Bradley. “It kinda has a ring to it.” She giggled and placed a kiss on her baby brothers head. “I love you either way triple Brad.” 

You laid against Bradley and started to laugh, “You sure picked a hell of a name, babe.” 

He leaned down and kissed your head, “I had to continue the tradition my dad started. Wouldn’t be fair if it ended with me.” 

“I love you, Bradley. You are crazy.” You sighed and relaxed into his hip. 

“I love you, sweetheart.”

Bradley’s POV

I was sitting with you on the couch. You were pumping to see if you could get any milk out. I was holding both of the boys while Leia laid her head on my lap. The boys were fast asleep, their mouths slightly open, laying on my chest and holding hands. I chuckled and called for you, “Baby, look. They’re holding hands.” You looked over and saw their little hands intertwined with each other. 

You gasped, “Oh my gosh, They are so precious.” Leia got up from my lap and looked.

“That is so cute! Braddy and Lukey are holding hands!” She leaned in and kissed their heads. “Daddy, when were they born?”

I looked at the boys and then back at Leia. “They were born on July 12th.” I smiled at Leia. 

Her eyes lit up and she gasped, “That’s near my birthday!”

 I nodded and reached my hand out for her face. I caressed her cheek, “It is, my love. What do you want to do for your birthday?” 

She tapped her finger to her chin as she thought about it. “I really want to go home and see my uncles, Papa Mav, Penny, and my friends… but I know we can’t…” She started to think again. “Hmm.” She looked down and kept thinking. 

I looked over at you and you were looking at Leia sadly. You and I both knew how much she missed everyone back in San Diego. 

“Oh I know! Can we all just watch movies in the backyard?” Leia looked up at me with her puppy eyes. 

I smiled, “That’s all you want to do, baby?” I raised my brows at her.

She nodded with a big smile on her face. “I know you and momma will be busy with baby Brad and Luke, so I just wanna watch movies with everyone and cuddle, Daddy.” She interlocked her fingers together and placed her hands on her cheek.

I chuckled, “Are you positive, Leia Rey?”

You tickled her side slightly, “You don’t wanna have a party, baby? You’re going to be turning 7!”

She shook her head with a smile, “I just want to be home with my family, momma.”

You furrowed your brows and looked at me. I pushed my lips together and we both looked at Leia. 

“Okay, Leia girl. Movies on your birthday with the family it is.” I caressed her cheek and then placed my hand back on Luke’s back. 

———-

Later on that night, we started to get the kids ready for bed. Phoenix gave Leia a bath and changed her into pajamas for bed. You and I gave the boys their first bath at home. I was fucking nervous. I had never given such a small human; nonetheless, TWO a bath before. Thank god you were there to help. 

First up was little Brad. I placed him on the bed and started to remove his onesie. “All right little man. Left arm… and right arm…” I smiled as I removed his little arms from each sleeve. I picked him up and placed a couple of kisses on his cheek. “I love you, little Brad.” A little grin peered across his face and I used everything in me to hold back my tears. I placed him back down on the bed and wrapped him in his towel. I picked him up and held him in the palms of my hands as I walked over to you. You were filling up his little tub with water. 

“Special delivery, mama.” I rubbed the tip of my nose with his and clicked my tongue quietly at him. You watched him and me in the reflection of the mirror. I kept rubbing my nose against his little face as I cooed over him. “I love you, my baby. You and your brother are so perfect.” I kissed his cheek over and over again causing another smile to appear on his face. “Ahhhh, there’s a sight to see. I love you, Bradley.” I smiled at him, still holding my tears back. 

You laid your head on my arm and smiled as you poked our son’s nose. “Water is ready, Daddy.” 

I started to unravel the towel from around our son. I undid his diaper and slowly started to submerge him into the water. I held his head and cupped water into my palm and washed it over his body. 

You wrapped your arms around my waist and laid your head on me as you watched. “You look like a natural, babe. Look at him. So relaxed, not a care in the world.” I could hear a smile crack across your face. “My perfect boys.” You looked over to the bassinet next to us where Luke was lying fast asleep. 

“Am I doing the right, sweetheart?” I looked slightly over at you as I kept cupping water over our son’s body. You nodded slowly. You pointed to the soap and little washcloth. 

“Go ahead, honey.” You smiled and encouraged me. “You got this.”

I nodded and grabbed the washcloth. I placed it into the water and placed it on Little Brad’s chest. I grabbed the soap and put little dollops of it onto the washcloth. I rubbed it softly as the suds started to form. I started to wash his little body slowly. He relaxed into the palm of my hand. This was the icing on the cake. I couldn’t hold back anymore. I cried. Hard. 

I chuckled as tears fell from my eyes. “Oh my gosh. I’m doing it, sweetheart.” I sniffled before my snot could drip. “This is so cool.” You and I started to laugh. 

“You are doing it perfectly, Bradley. You are the best dad in the world.” You kissed my arm and rubbed it. “I love you so much.” You looked at me through the mirror and I looked up back at you. We shared a smile. 

“I love you, y/n, Forever.” 

After I finished little Brad’s bath, you took him back to the bed to prepare him for bed. I started to get Luke ready for his bath. “All right little man, you’re up next!” I smiled. I swaddled him in his towel as I replaced the water in the tub with new clean water.

I picked up Luke and he pushed around a little bit. I bounced him in my arms and rocked him as I shushed him. I rubbed the bridge of his nose gently with the tip of my index finger. “You’re okay, Luke. Daddy’s got you.” I placed a kiss on his forehead and rocked him for a little bit. I checked the water temperature and it was perfect. I started to unravel Luke from his towel. I took off his diaper and placed him into the water. 

He started to fuss. My eyes went wide. “Holy shit.” I started to cover him with water and tried to console him. “You’re okay buddy. Daddy’s here. We are just gonna take a quick bath and then you’ll be back in some warm clothes in your warm bed.” He started to whine quietly. It broke my fucking heart. 

“Heyyyy. Shhhhh. It’s okay baby boy. I’ve got you. Shhhhhh.” I started to wash his body trying to be quick. 

You came over and wrapped your arms around my waist. “Do we have our first little temper tantrum, Mr. Bradshaw?” You giggled as you watched me panicking as I washed Luke. 

I sighed, “It seems so, Mrs. Bradshaw.” I looked at you with sad puppy eyes. “Please help me, mama.” 

You giggled and patted my hip and replaced my hands with yours. “I’ll take it from here, Daddy.” You placed a kiss on Luke's little head and washed him slowly. “It’s okay, baby. Mommy’s here.” 

I placed one hand on your waist and the other against the counter. I watched as you gave Luke a bath. You were literally an expert. He was still fussy, but not as fussy as he was with me. Then it happened. He opened his little eyes. The first time he or little Brad had done it. 

You gasped. “Oh my gosh…. Bradley…Look…” His little eyes were beaming up at you. When he saw you, his fussing stopped completely. 

I chucked. “A mama’s boy this one is going to be.” I looked at you with so much love welling in my chest. “But who wouldn’t? Their mama is perfect.” 

You looked up at me through the mirror and blushed. I smiled at you and kissed your cheek. 

“Oh. No. Freaking. Way.” You started to laugh. 

I smiled, “What, babe?”

You looked back at me and shook your head. “It seems to me that the Bradshaw boys have inherited those pretty green eyes you have.” 

My eyes went wide as well as my mouth. I looked at you shocked. “YES!” I pumped my fists into the air. “Sorry, sweetheart. You’re screwed now. 4 pairs of puppy dog eyes begging you for more brownies?” I chuckled. “You stand NO CHANCE in this household.” I squinted my eyes at you. “How’s it feel to be the only brownie in this family?” I raised a brow at you. 

You smiled sweetly and kissed my lips softly. “Makes me feel unique. For once.”

I raised my brows and chuckled. “I love that, baby.” 

You finished up with Luke’s bath and brought him over to the bed to get him ready for bed. I laid on the bed and watched as you got him ready. You picked him up and gave him a couple of kisses before placing him in his bassinet. 

You kissed both little Brad and Luke’s cheeks. “Good night, boys. Mommy loves you so much.”

I got up and went over to them. I gave each of their bellies little rubs. “Good night, lady killers. Daddy will see you in a couple of hours for feeding.” I placed a kiss on each of them.

I wrapped my arm around your shoulder as we stood there watching them sleep. I kissed your cheek. “Shall we go and say good night to our Princess Leia?”

You looked up at me and nodded. “Let's.” 

We left the bedroom door open and walked down to Leia’s room. Hangman, Austin, and Phoenix were in there reading a bedtime story to her. I knocked on the door and they all looked over. 

“We came to say good night to our little girl.” Leia sat up in her bed smiling at you and me. 

Hangman, Austin, and Phoenix stood up and moved over. Hangman patted my back. “We are gonna go say good night to the boys.” He winked at us while he, Phoenix, and Austin made their way to our room down the hall. 

We sat at the side of Leia’s bed and gave her kisses. “Good night, my princess Leia. I love you so much.” You pinched her cheek and kissed her over and over again. 

“Mama!” She giggled. “I love you.” 

You started to tuck her in as I sat next to her. I pushed her curls from her face and smiled at her. She relaxed against my hand and rubbed her cheek into my palm. 

I smiled and leaned in to kiss her nose. “I love you, sweetheart. Sweet dreams.” I rubbed the tip of my nose with hers. We both scrunched our noses and shared a giggle. “You are perfect, Leia Rey.” 

She smiled up at me and blushed. “I love you, Daddy. Always.”

I kissed her cheek over and over again. “You have my heart, Leia Rey. Forever.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You and Bradley finally pulled into the driveway of your house. Jake’s truck was already in the driveway, so that meant he and Nat were already home from work. Bradley turned off the truck and looked at you. He raised his brows and smiled. 

“You ready, sweetheart?”

You bit your lower lip and nodded. “Definitely.”

Bradley unbuckled himself and came around to help you. You got out of the car and stood there waiting for him. He went to open both of the back doors to start getting the boys out. He popped Luke’s car seat out and you popped baby boy B’s car seat out. Bradley took him from you and nodded towards the door. “Let’s get them inside, baby.” You walked over to the door and opened it. 

You were welcomed into the house with a bunch of blue balloons and a whole dinner table full of food and desserts. Jake and Nat came running over to Welcome all four of you home. 

“Holy shit, you guys!” Bradley chuckled as he set the boys down and hugged them. 

“Welcome home!” They came over and hugged you. Shortly after Leia and Austin came through the door and were greeted by Jake and Nat as well. 

Bradley picked up the boys and brought them over to the couch area. He sat their car seats down on the coffee table and started to remove them from their car seats. He handed Luke to Jake, who eagerly awaited holding at least one of the babies. He started to undo baby boy B’s belts. When he finally got him out he held him to his face. 

“Meet our other little boy, everyone.” He grabbed his little hand and made him wave to everyone. 

Everyone started to “Awwwh” at your baby boy. Bradley handed him to Nat. 

“Oh my gosh. Look at them both in their little flight suits.” She sat on the couch next to Jake as they looked at the boys eagerly. Austin sat next to Nat and wrapped his arm over her shoulders. Leia sat next to her uncle Jake and looked at her little brother. 

You sat on the single sofa and finally felt relaxed to be home. Bradley came over and sat on the arm of the chair. He leaned back and put his arm behind you. He kissed the top of your head as you both watched them all get to know your boys. 

“Rooster, how can you tell them apart? They look exactly alike.” Jake laughed and looked at Bradley.

He looked down at you and you nodded. He looked back up to all of them as they looked at Bradley for his answer. “Well, we dressed them accordingly.” He chuckled.

“Bradshaw. They are wearing the same exact thing. What are you talking about?” Nat laughed. 

Bradley shook his head, “Their initials are on each of their onesies. All of their clothes are like that so they don’t ever get mixed up.” He started to laugh as he leaned into you. 

“Oh, you’re right!” Jake held Luke in one hand on his lap as he ran his free hand’s index finger over the little initials embroidered onto Luke’s little onesie. “L.N.B.” He smiled. “Luke Nicolas Bradshaw.” He chuckled cleverly.

Austin leaned into Nat’s back. “Baby Boy B still only has B.B.B on his though?” They all looked up at you and Bradley. 

“Does he not have a name yet?” Nat raised her brow at the both of you.

Bradley rolled his eyes and sighed, “He does, I told you all that. His initials just happen to be the same as baby boy B. It was not planned. Well, kind of.” Bradley furrowed his brows and smiled at you. “You wanna tell them his name, sweetheart?”

You giggled and shook your head, “No, honey. You can tell them.” 

He nodded and kissed the top of your head. “Okay.”

Jake scoffed, “Can someone just tell us his name already. I’m dying to know.” He laughed and Nat looked over at him with narrowed eyes. 

“Rush much, Bagman.” She chuckled and shook her head.

Austin looked at you and Bradley. “What’s the handsome fellow’s name?” He placed his index finger into baby boy b’s hand. 

Bradley looked at you one more time before looking at them and smiling. He licked his lips and bit his bottom one and let out a little chuckle. 

“His name is Bradley.” 

Jake palmed his forehead, “Oh you have got to be shitting me.” Leia slapped her uncle Jake’s arm. 

“Uncle Jakey that’s not nice.” Jake placed a kiss on Leia’s head. 

“I’m sorry, honey. You’re right. I apologize.” 

Austin chuckled. “Bradley.”

Nat smiled at Bradley. “After you, huh?”

Bradley nodded and smiled. “Yup.”

Hangman looked over baby Bradley’s little flight suit, “There are three Bs, Rooster. Don’t leave us on a cliff hanger now.” He chuckled and looked up at Bradley with a mischievous grin. 

Bradley leaned back and started to laugh. “Yup. Our triple B.” 

“Well?” Jake raised his brows at Bradley. “His name?”

Bradley smiled really big, “Bradley Bradford Bradshaw.” 

Jake put his eyes into his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose, “Holy shit, Bradshaw.” He shook his head in his hand. 

Nat had her mouth wide open in a grin and blinked her eyes slowly. She was trying to hold back her laughter. 

Austin had his hand over his mouth, but you and Bradley could both see he was hiding a huge smile behind it. He looked down and over at Natasha. She still had her mouth wide and her eyes even wider. 

“Come on, Bradshaw.” Jake started to chuckle. 

Leia jumped up from her place by her uncle Jakey. She placed her hands on her head and jumped around. “DADDY HE’LL BE BULLIED!”

You looked up at Bradley and started to laugh loudly. He pushed his lips in a line and looked down. 

Jake finally looked up at Bradley, “Did you pick his name, Bradshaw? You know names are permanent?” He made his eyes wide. 

Bradley licked his lips and looked up at his friends. He had a small smirk on his face.

“Rooster… Is this a joke? Are you messing with us? Or are you for real?” Nat narrowed her eyes at Bradley.

Bradley raised his eyebrows in shock. “I’m not kidding. That is baby boy’s name.”

Nat’s look turned into a soft smile. “I personally love it.” 

Austin lightly scratched at baby Bradley’s stomach, “Hey, baby Brad.”

Jake shook his head and looked at Bradley with a raised brow. “You and your old man have the same sick sense of humor.” Jake started to laugh and Bradley joined. “That’s one hell of a name, Bradshaw.” Jake smiled and looked over at baby Bradley. 

“We have a Brad Brad and now we have a Brad cubed,” Nat said in a baby voice to baby Bradley as she caressed his cheeks.

Leia went over to her little brother and looked at him with concern. “Bradley Bradford Bradshaw…” She pushed her lips together and looked at you and Bradley. “It kinda has a ring to it.” She giggled and placed a kiss on her baby brothers head. “I love you either way triple Brad.” 

You laid against Bradley and started to laugh, “You sure picked a hell of a name, babe.” 

He leaned down and kissed your head, “I had to continue the tradition my dad started. Wouldn’t be fair if it ended with me.” 

“I love you, Bradley. You are crazy.” You sighed and relaxed into his hip. 

“I love you, sweetheart.”
