Welcome in this one shot collection!
In a review to The camping trip SMC asked me if I would write a future Bade family fic and I actually had some fantasies about them and their family, so here it is. These one shots are supposed to all take place in one universe and because I'm always open to wishes/prompts, I'll already tell you how many children I want Beck and Jade to have in here. I'll let them have three girls: Melissa when they are 23 years old, Sophia when they are 28 years old and Alexis when they are 32 years , I have enough ideas to fill... eight chapters or something, some will be longer and some shorter (this actually consists of two to three one shots, depending of how you count - but most chapters will have just one one shot, I think). Also, about half of my ideas will be out of someone else's perspective, like an outside view into the family. Mainly from Tori because that's just easy to write. xD
What else should I mention beforehand? Oh, yes. This is somehow pretty much just fluff. I think. Though there is one one shot which consists of a fight but there is no way that will end badly in any way, so...
Good. I'm totally open to ideas though of course I can't promise to accept everything. But if you always wanted to have Beck and/or Jade in a certain situation with their child and you consider me able to write that, I'd love to get suggestions through reviews or private messages. I will see what I can do.
Also, I will try to update once a week (but I want to keep writing on other stuff next to this but as every chapter can also stand by itself and there will never be a cliffhanger I think that's okay) and want to upload the one shots chronological as far as that's possible if you give me a new idea (or I get another one by myself).
Now, I've talked really much. Sorry. Have fun reading!


Jade has been filming for a mini-series for two weeks now and she loves every second of it. It's a good series, a little bit of a psychological thriller which is so much fun.

Therefore, she enjoys being at work very much and is excited for the next three months during which they still have to film. But today she wants to get home badly. She does her best to concentrate on every scene they do today but it's tough and she is really happy when she finally says good bye to everyone.

She herself thinks it's ridiculous to feel so happy. It has only been ten days after all. And they're used to much longer times apart. For a few months a little over a year ago, Beck has already lived back in LA doing a movie while Jade has still lived in New York doing a Broadway show. They have visited each other once to twice a month and have texted and spoken on the phone as much as possible.

They have managed and that's why Jade has thought these ten days also couldn't be too hard. Beck does another movie at the moment and actually has been in Washington for the last ten days to shoot on location. Today, he's finally back.

He has arrived in the afternoon, has already texted her. Now, it's three hours later and she finally gets home as well.

"Beck?" Jade calls into the small apartment as soon as she has opened the front door.

He steps into the hallway the very next second and she has barely enough time and sense to close the door behind her before they are already in each other's arms and then kiss for a long time.

"I missed you," Beck says after a while and she just kisses him again.

.

It's two hours later. They have eaten the food Beck has already had prepared (though they had to warm it up again because their greeting took some time) and have talked about the day they had and a little bit about the week though they already texted and talked on the phone enough about every other day each night.

Now, they both sit on the couch, their legs up, Jade leaning against Beck, him holding her, and stroking one of her hands with his.

It's silent and Jade has closed her eyes when Beck softly raises his voice again: "Do you ever think about having a child?"

Somehow, she isn't surprised by the question though she definitely hasn't expected it. But in the movie, Beck is in, there are also two children in prominent roles, and Beck has obviously enjoyed the time with them. He has told Jade some of the things they said and did, and now it seems as if it has been inevitable that he would talk to her about having children on her own.

She turns a little in his arms and he lets go of her hands and moves his upper body slightly to the side, so they can look at each other without scooting further away from each other. Meanwhile he says: "And I don't mean in a distant future."

The thing is that she sometimes does think about it. They are twentytwo years old now, so they still have enough time to actually start a family. But at the same time, they've been married for two years now and maybe they are ready. If they both think about it... They do have the money for it, she thinks. They both get good jobs in acting regularly. Whenever they don't (or sometimes, even if they do but have still time next to it), both of them don't hesitate to get other jobs. She has actually worked as a bar keeper for a few months in between. He works as a waiter every now and then.

They also don't just spend their money with open hands. They have this apartment in LA now, which actually has a small hallway, a tiny bathroom, a living room with a kitchen and seperate bedroom. They could even afford a bigger apartment with both of them working. Of course, one of them wouldn't work with a small child but the other would and could work even more for it if needed – not to mention that they have safed a lot of money with both of them working and not living wasteful at all.

They can afford a child and more and more she imagines the two of them with one.

Therefore, she says: "I do."

"You do?" Beck asks with a soft smile, maybe slightly surprised.

Jade shrugs before she asks: "Do you think we could manage?" And with that, she doesn't mean the money because she knows they can manage with that.

But what if they can't manage with their time? What if with work and just life, they don't have enough time for their child? Or for each other?

And that thought is just horrible but yes. What if they can't manage being a family? What if having a child will be the thing that will break them apart for some reason? She knows they have the same ideas about raising a child because sometimes they have talked about their own parents and what they've done right or wrong. But what if the reality is too different and they won't stop fighting again? Or what if they can't handle a child, if she can't handle a child, maybe not love it?

She knows by Beck's eyes that he knows what she's thinking about. That he knows what she means with her question if he thinks they could manage.

He answers: "I do. I will do anything to make it work and I know you will do the same."

He's right. She would do anything to protect Beck's and her love. She would do anything to protect their children as soon as they would have them. She would try her best to make their family work. And of course he would do the same. Of course, they both will do that.

"I love you, Beck," she says abruptly and kisses him.

He returns the kiss and then says with a smile: "And that's why we'll manage. I love you, too. More than anything."

Jade feels the warmth inside of her as they share another kiss. Then she asks, her heart suddenly beating a little faster: "So, we will have a child? Shall I stop taking the pill?"

Beck's eyes are happily lit up as he earnestly says: "Yes!"

Only three months later, she's pregnant.

The birth takes hours and hours and Beck is tired and hungry soon enough. But he doesn't complain and never would because he knows it's much worse for Jade, who actually is in pain with every contraction. He tries to do exactly as Jade wants. Takes a step back when she needs room, but mostly is right next to her, holds her hand, kisses her every now and then. And finally, their child is born.

It's a week later now and both, Jade and their child, are home. Beck shows the baby the apartment they moved into three months ago. It's a little further outside of the city but has an own room for the child.

Beck steps back into the living room where Jade has sat during Beck's tour, with closed eyes.

"And that, Melissa, is your beautiful mommy," Beck says and holds the little girl so that she can look at Jade though she's almost asleep anyway.

Jade opens her eyes and then stands up. "I'm a mess," she says.

She isn't. Of course, she still has the baby bump and will have for some more time now which he knows she doesn't like, now that the baby isn't actually in there anymore. Also, she has light bags under her eyes and hasn't gotten around to do her makeup the way she likes it best in the hospital.

But she always looks beautiful and he thinks she has looked even more beautiful for the last week, or maybe since the early pregnancy. It's something in her eyes.

"You're beautiful and you know it," he says with a smile as he gets closer. He thinks she doesn't know but he will tell her until she does know. "I love you, babe."

"You better," Jade answer as she also gets closer to him. "I just gave birth to your baby after all."

He laughs lightly. He loves how she says that.

And now, she looks with such a loving gaze down at their baby and takes it carefully out of his arm. Willingly, he lets go of it, lets her take it, before he draws her into a soft kiss.

He feels so incredible.

They've gotten all the photos on a flash drive and now go through them on Jade's laptop. They paid for all of them and can now also order some of them printed in different sizes. They want to decide which ones they want – but first they want to choose one for social media. Their PR teams have told them they should of course share a photo if they would be willing to do so.

Melissa is one month old now and they've took their first professional pictures today. The public hasn't seen the little girl until now – their families and friends have of course gotten a lot of pictures already because they both love to take them and sometimes to share them.

Melissa lies in her cradle, which stands next to the couch, and sleeps.

Beck is sitting close to her, his arm around Jade who leans into him, the laptop on her lap, going through the photos.

After they have gone through them two times, she stops on one: "We should pick this one."

It shows both of them standing close to each other, their bodies turned to each other. Jade holds Melissa against her heart between them and while Jade looks directly into the camera, Beck looks down to Melissa, is leaned closely into her and Jade, his lips close to the baby's head.

Beck smiles. "I think I also like it best. I like how it shows your love in such an obvious way."

She looks at him with her eyebrows drawn together. That's definitely not the reason for her to choose this photo. She does think she looks very good in the picture because otherwise she also wouldn't consider to share it with anyone but it doesn't... show her love, does it?

Beck makes a gesture to the photo. "Look at your eyes in there, how you look into the camera. It clearly tells everyone that you will protect our family at any cost, that nobody can touch us because you will see to that. I love it."

Jade looks at herself in the photo and... well... of course she will hurt anyone who lies a finger on Melissa or Beck. Maybe, Beck is right and this photo shows exactly that.

But she has another reason for choosing it and now slowly states that: "I think it shows your love. You're so captured by her and me that you don't care about the camera. You have only eyes for our daughter."

Beck clearly hasn't thought about that, looks at the picture for another while, before he drops a kiss on Jade's temple and says with a smile: "I guess it's perfect then. It shows both our love in a perfect way. Let's put it on your page first."

Jade does. She opens her twitter page and puts the picture on there without a comment.

Beck has picked up his phone from the table and instantly retweets it with a comment of his own: "Feeling blessed. Will love both of you forever."

Jade reads it with a smile and there are already other comments coming it, lots of likes and some retweets but she puts the laptop away for now and turns to Beck and kisses him.

He throws his phone away as well, lets himself fall back on the couch, pulls her with him and up himself.

Life is amazing.
