AUTHOR'S NOTES: This story was originally a one-shot with a cliffhanger. But I recently decided to keep the existing chapter in tact with a few edits and add on to it.

This story takes place over the course of nine months.

CHAPTER 1:

At 9pm on the night of October 24th, Chloe came home to an empty apartment.

"Beca, I'm home!" She yelled but got no response. She then found a note on the counter.

"Dear Chloe,

The DJ'ing gig I had tonight was a disaster. People hated the song choices I prepared and booed me all night. As if that weren't enough, I was verbally abused on the way home. So much that I started crying after walking 3 miles. The pain was too much for me to handle, so I decided at 11:45pm tonight, I will be commiting suicide by jumping off the roof of our apartment building. If you try to stop me, it tells me that there's at least someone out that still cares for me. If you don't, then it was nice knowing you.

I'll never forget you,

Beca xo"

"NO! Why, Beca? Why?" Chloe asked sobbing as Amy walked in the door.

"Hey, Chloe, I'm home...uh, I'll just come back later." Amy said as she went back out to give Chloe some space.

"Beca, if I find you in the next 2 hours, I hope you'll reconsider." Chloe said.

At about 11:40pm, a very tearful Chloe checked her watch and realized, "Only 5 minutes left. I got to hurry!" She said as she rushed out the door for the roof.

On the roof, Beca stood a few feet from the edge preparing to jump off. "Well, this is it. Goodbye, Chloe. Goodbye, dad. Goodbye, my fellow Bellas. My last words are: I still love you awesome nerds. And I'll miss you forever." She said tearfully as she looked at her watch before preparing to jump. "10...9...8...7...6..." As Beca was counting down, Chloe arrived at the roof hoping to convince Beca not to go through with the jump.

"Beca!" Chloe yelled stepping into the lone spotlight on the roof while Beca turned around.

"Chloe?" Beca asked as Chloe took a few more steps.

"Beca, please don't do this!" Chloe pleaded.

"What other choice do I have?" Beca asked. "Tonight was the worst night of my life!" She said tearfully.

"And I'm sorry that happened to you. I've had my bad days too. We all have them. But this is not the answer!" Chloe said.

"What would you've done?" Beca asked.

"I'd cry my eyes out for a while, and then I'd talk to someone. Someone who's easy for me to talk to about these things. Think back to 7 years ago; when I first met you during your freshman year at Barden, it was one of the happiest moments of my life. And if it wasn't for that day, I wouldn't be here with you right now. Think how much happier you were since you & I bonded over being Bellas." Chloe said prompting a montage of flashbacks to play in Beca's mind.

In the montage...

At the Activites Fair..."Hey, what about her?"

In the shower..."You CAN sing!"

At auditions..."Oh, wait; there's one more."

At the initation..."Don't worry; it's Boones Farm."

Hood Night..."I think we're going to be fast friends."

End of montage

All those memories reminded Beca about what made her the most happy.

"You're right. I remember when my dad made me join a club on campus. I remember how when you invaded my shower that day, you encouraged me to audition to be a Bella. After you & I bonded over the Bellas, my life was happier than I ever thought it would be." Beca remembered.

"Even despite all the ups & downs you had with Aubrey back then?" Chloe asked.

"Yeah. Hey, I wonder what she'd say if she were here right now." Beca thought.

"So, what do you say? Will you spare your life? For me?" Chloe asked.

"If I hug you, will that answer your question?" Beca asked.

"Come here, girl!" Chloe yelled happily holding her arms out as Beca ran over to her and the two shared a very long hug.

"Thank you so much. Will you promise me one thing?" Chloe asked.

"Anything for you, Chloe." Beca said.

"Next time you're going through something like this...talk to me, okay?" Chloe said.

"Okay...I promise." Beca said as Chloe's phone rang.

"Oh, speakng of Aubrey..." She said as she answered her phone wtih a Facetime call. "Hey, girl."

"Hey, Chloe. I hope I didn't wake you up." Aubrey said.

"Far from it. You wouldn't believe the night I had." Chloe said.

"Are you up on the roof?" Aubrey asked noticing where Chloe was talking from.

"It's a long story. But I'm here with Beca." Chloe said.

"Hi, Aubrey." Beca said.

"Hey, Beca. I have some news that I was going to wait til morning to share, but I just couldn't help it." Aubrey said.

"What is it?" Beca asked.

"Yeah..tell us." Chloe asked.

"I'm pregnant!" Aubrey said.

"Oh, my god!" Beca yelled speechless.

"Aubrey that is wonderful. Congratulations." Chloe said.

"Thanks! I'll tell you more about it later." Aubrey said.

"Wait, Aubrey, before you hang up I have a question for you." Beca said.

"Shoot." Aubrey said.

"So tonight Chloe talked me out of jumping off the roof by reminding me of how happier I was when I was a Bella. If you were in her shoes, what would you do?" Beca asked.

"Beca, ever since you became a Bella, you've taught me so much. I'd probably remind you of that and how far you've come today." Aubrey said.

"Thanks. That really means something. Anyway, congrats on your pregnancy." Beca said.

"Thank you. Well, it's almost midnight, I should go to bed. Good night." Aubrey said.

"Bye!" They both said before hanging up.

After they hung up Chloe looked at her watch.

"Come on, let's go to bed." Chloe said as the two head back to their apartment.

"Well, after that pregnancy announcement, I'm actually glad I didn't go through with that jump." Beca said.

"I'm glad you didn't go through with it, period. I would've been devestated if you did." Chloe said.

"Yeah. Hey, I just had a bright idea, let's text all the Bellas about Aubrey's big news before we go to sleep." Beca suggested.

Chloe pulled out her phone and sent a group text to all the other Bellas reading "Newsflash: Aubrey is pregnant!" before going to bed.

AUTHOR'S NOTES: The new plan for this story is that there will be a new chapter for each one of the month's of Aubrey's pregnancy and will feature flashbacks. Since I don't have a set plan for every single chapter at the moment, each chapter will not be posted on a daily basis like my last twelve stories. If you'd like to pitch ideas for future chapters or are interested in knowing more about the story's current plan, let me know. And I'd also encourage you all to check out my How to Rock/Pitch Perfect crossover.
