Maybe, for once, he can finally settle down.

Summary
Mav had stood there—shoulders tensed and arms locked in the position the nurse had moved them into—for forty-five minutes, just staring at the tiny blue-gray cheeks and the wrinkly forehead and the mouth smaller than his thumb and the little chest, rising and falling.
(Goose had pulled up a chair and watched him the entire time, his eyes shiny and still smiling.)
Mav could still watch the kid sleep forever.

Summary
There are very few things that could give Beau “Cyclone” Simpson a migraine before noon. This list is short, but self-explanatory:
1. cocky pilots who think they can fly
2. his ex-wife
3. Captain Pete “Maverick” MitchellThe third reason has been added in the span of an afternoon.
...
The three times Cyclone observed Maverick, Iceman, and Rooster separately and the one time he saw them together.

Summary
It's just one of a million pieces of wisdom, accidental or not, from Goose; words Maverick now carries with him, that he knows he'll carry til the day he dies. Christmas is about having people around who care enough to remember you. It's a philosophy that had felt unexpectedly right until he'd realized that he didn't. Year over year, December 25th has been about the same thing for Maverick: what he doesn't have. And what he doesn't have isn't about material goods or money or fortune; it's people, and ever since the day he was born, one by one, he's been losing them. Forgive him, then, if the holiday never held much significance, but he tries his hardest to celebrate on behalf of the people he loves who love him anyway, right up until there's no one left to bother trying for. And until, for the first time, Christmas is not about what Maverick doesn't have, not this time- for once, it's about something he's getting back, and it might just be enough to make up for every shitty Christmas he's ever had.
Or, five Christmases of Maverick's that are defined by what he has lost, and one that is all about what he's finally, at long last, gained.
