Before he can think more on it, before he can open his mouth to ask Carol what she would do if she woke up four decades younger-- a tiny voice calls out, clear and eager.
âUncâa Mav!â
Peteâs heart stops in his chest, his breath catching painfully in his throat. A small form appears at the end of the hallway, sleepy and stumbling, but instantly recognizable. A toddler in his pajamas, with sleepy eyes that snap wide awake when they land on Pete.
Bradley.
Without thinking, Peteâs legs give out beneath him. He falls to his knees in an instant, his hands reaching out, and without hesitation, Bradley throws himself at him. The weight of the little boy in his arms is like a spark to his soul. The way Bradley clings to him, his small arms wrapping around Peteâs neck, is so familiar it nearly knocks the breath out of him.
âOh, Baby Goose,â Pete chokes out, his voice raw with emotion he hasnât felt in a long time. âIâve missed you so much.â
Bradleyâs small body wiggles in his embrace, giggling.
Pete holds him so tightly, afraid that if he lets go, this moment will slip away, that this little boyâthe one whoâs still innocent, still wholeâwill disappear.
This is a Bradley who he didnât lose. A Bradley who hadnât stopped talking to him at 18, who hadnât shut him out as he grew older. A Bradley who didnât grow up without him.
Pete kisses the top of his head, his tears wetting the little boyâs messy hair, and he pulls him closer. Bradley doesnât even notice the tears in his eyes, too busy wrapping his arms tighter around Peteâs neck.
This was it. The one thing he never thought he could have again. The one thing that had slipped through his fingers so painfullyâbut now, now itâs here. And Pete canât let it go.
âIâm here, Baby Goose,â Pete whispers, his voice shaking.
Damn it I'm going to write an entire fic on this, aren't I
