Sequel to 'No Turning Back' read it if you want, it will all pretty much make sense without it, but would be super awesome if you read it and left reviews as they make me super happy.
Basically Beca is 17 and pregnant, Jesse and she decided to keep the baby. (Basically I watched Juno after writing the fanfiction and decided I could make a sequel, so it's kind of based on Juno)
Beca's mother was surprisingly okay with the situation. She let Beca stay in the house, Beca was almost certain she was going to be kicked out, and even offered to convert the guest room into a nursery.
After a 'sit down' with Jesse and his parents, the two family's set new rules they could all agree on, Beca and Jesse weren't too fond of the no more sleeping in the same room rule, and only to stay at each other's houses once the baby was born rule, but they couldn't complain. Their parents had whole heartedly gone out of their way to help the couple. They discussed other options, and guided Beca through the Process. They didn't judge her when she decided she wanted to keep the child and they even offered to help financially. Overall, Beca could have had a much harder time, a much more common attitude from the parents when she found out she was pregnant.
Beca's dad was not happy at all. Her mother, Jill called him whilst Beca was in the room. Beca could hear muffled remarks of bad parenting, stupid boys, slutty teens and more, but he did agree to come and visit Beca soon, and to support her financially. Beca wasn't sure if she wanted the visit from the man who left her when she was a child, but she wasn't going to refuse money in this situation.
Beca had a meeting with the school, they had decided it best to be kept on the down low until it was too late, she would use her PE lessons and go to see a school assigned helper, the school happened to have a teen pregnancy programme, so Beca was extremely lucky, she had help from the school with grades and child care. Again, overall it could have been so much worse.
'How do you feel about the pregnancy Beca?'
It was Beca's first 'helper lesson'. Beca didn't know what these things were actually called, but they basically got her ready for being a parent.
'I don't know'.
'Scared? Excited?' The woman suggested.
'Scared I guess.'
'Good, I would be too, just know we are all here to help as much as we can.'
Beca gave an awkward smile at the woman, the rest of the session continued with her mostly telling Beca what to expect from pregnancy, Beca made a point to zone out though, she didn't want to hear any of that.
Jesse had a lesson next period so Beca made her way to the study, she was stopped by an extremely angry best friend.
'What the fuck dude, ignore my calls and text's and now you're not even going to PE, what is going on?'
'Uh, Stacie, can we not speak here?'
'I swear to god Beca Mitchell, if you don't tell me what I have done to deserve being ignored I'm going to hit you.'
'You've done nothing, I swear, just a lot of shit has been happening recently, look, can we go somewhere a bit more private?'
Stacie looked at her best friend of 5 years, she could tell something big was on her mind, that's one of the reasons they were best friends, Stacie often got Beca more than Jesse did, as much as he tried, there was just no way anyone understood Beca more than Stacie.
It helped that they had the same situation, Beca's dad left, Stacie had never known her dad, they were neighbours, and both didn't enjoy the company of about 90% of the people in this school.
The girls walked down the school path into the woods, they always went to the bridge on the woods during their free periods in the summer, although it was October, the weather was still warm enough to go there.
Beca just stared down into the stream for a while, Stacie spoke first.
'We have that party tonight, you've been looking forward to it, are we still going?'
'I uh, I don't think so Stace.'
'Why, come on, Bec if you and Jesse have had a fall out or something, don't blame me.'
'No I can't go Stace, I uh, can't drink.'
'Why, have you caught something from Jesse? Are you on meds? Because they lie, when I had to take meds for that rash they said I couldn't drink but I did anyway.'
'No Stace, I can't go because I'm erm, I'm pregnant.'
'You're kidding right?'
'Do I look like I'm kidding?'
'What did Jesse say?'
'He says he's going to support me.'
'But he's going to College in a year, you were going to move to LA.'
'Well, plans change I guess.'
'Fuck Beca.'
'Yeah, fuck.'
'Does anyone else know?'
'You're the first I've told, I assume Jesse is going to tell Donald and Uni.'
'Donald won't tell anyone, I won't let him, but what if uni tells someone?'
'I don't know, I guess Jesse is going to have to decide whether he can trust him or not. I guess it isn't going to be able to stay a secret for much longer.'
'How far along are you?'
'Doctors think around 9 weeks, so no one other than you guys and my family are to be told until 13 weeks, even then the school want me to keep it quiet until I can't hide it anymore.'
'Fuck.'
'You've said that already' Beca laughed.
Jesse and Beca sat on Beca's sofa, normally they would be in her bedroom but Beca's mum had made it pretty clear that was no longer aloud when she wasn't home, Beca didn't want to push her luck with her mum so decided it best to abide by her rules for now and stay in the lounge until she was home from work.
'So I've bought a movie for us to watch.'
'I swear to god Jesse, I don't know when these pregnancy hormones kick in, but if you make me watch another fucking musical you are leaving this house.'
'No, it's not I swear, I actually found this today in town, and well it's relevant.' Jesse pulled out what to expect when you're expecting.
'No Jesse, I don't want to know what is going to happen to my body.'
'It's a comedy Bec, I'm sure they're not going to go into that much detail.'
'Fine, play the fucking DVD.'
Beca curled into a slight ball with her head propped against Jesse's arm, (great position for when she fell asleep)
Of course she didn't fall asleep during this film, she ended up having to leave the room during the emotional scene, during the miscarriage, she closed the door behind her making it pretty clear she didn't want Jesse to follow, when she didn't return for another 10 minutes Jesse finally went to find her.
She was in the kitchen nursing a cup of tea she had clearly just made, she lazily stirred a spoon in the cup as she looked catatonically at the wall.
'That's not going to happen to us you know.'
Beca was shocked by the sudden noise in the kitchen, she hadn't even realised Jesse had came into the room.
'How do you know, it's not planned.'
'Okay, I don't know, but it shouldn't, it's rare.'
'It's not that rare.'
'I'm trying to comfort you Bec.'
'Why did you bring that movie, it was obviously going to upset me.'
'I didn't know that happened I swear.'
Beca burst into tears, she had managed to keep them locked up until now, but with no warning there they suddenly were.
'Fucking hormones' she stuttered through the tears as she tried to push on her eyes to stop them coming out.
'You don't have to be embarrassed Bec, it's reasonable to cry.'
'No it's not, you're just trying to make me feel less stupid.'
'Is it working?'
'No'
'Well, this might, when I found out, I cried to my dad for about an hour straight, saying I was worried about you, worried about this.'
'Really?' Beca looked up, she was still crying she so she couldn't even think of some sarcastic comment.
Jesse pulled her into his chest whilst she continued crying into his chest.
'If anything happens, I'm here to go through it with you okay, you're not going to have to be alone, ever, I promise.'
He felt Beca give a nod against his chest before he kissed her hair.
So this was a lot harder than I expected to write, I had what I wanted in my head, but couldn't figure out how to put it down, anyway, let me know what you think.
