Well, here is the first chapter. 'Bade Lives Years Later' will be updated on Thursday, don't hate me. I have readers who actually enjoy this story and wait weeks for an update. It's not fair for me to focus on one story.

Jade and Beck have been married for a good three years. They live in a spacious one bedroom apartment in L.A where they both work. Beck is a known actor since his first debut in a film with Brad Pitt. Jade is a play writer and director also known for her work.
Monday morning, Beck walked into his bedroom to wake Jade. She was asleep wrapped in a blanket, Beck stroke her cheek waking her up.
Beck: Babe, it's almost nine.
Jade: (groans) No. ten more minutes.
Beck: (chuckles) You said that ten minutes ago.
Jade sat up wiping her eyes.
Jade: I hate Mondays. This day is going to be so slow, I can feel it.
Beck: At least you're not stuck doing press all day.
Jade groaned as she laid back on her pillow.
Beck: (kisses Jade) Your coffee is gonna get cold.
Jade: There is nothing I hate more than cold coffee.
Beck: (laughs) You know we have to babysit tonight right? Did you forget?
Jade: Don't remind me.
Beck: Come on, it'll be fun. John is a good baby.
Jade: Then why can't he stay home and watch himself?
Beck: I'm gonna go eat some cereal while you get ready.
Jade: Can you toast me a bagel?
Beck: Sure babe.

Later that day, Jade and Beck were home from work. Beck was watching TV while Jade was cooking dinner.
Jade: Are you okay with steak tonight?
Beck: Yeah, steak sounds okay.
Jade: Good. Because that's all we have left in the fridge.
Beck: Is it my turn to go grocery shopping?
Jade: Yes, and this time, get the things on the list instead of getting pointless shit.
The doorbell rang.
Beck: That's Ben with John.
Jade: Oh great. Let the headache begin.
Beck: Be nice Jade.
Beck walked over to the door and opened it, Ben walked in.
Ben: Hey bro, thanks again for watching John for me.
Beck: No problem but, where is he?
Ben looked at his empty hands.
Ben: Dammit! He's in the car. I don't know why I keep forgetting him.
Ben rushed out the door.
Beck: It's amazing how he's breathing on his own.
A few minutes later Ben came running in with John.
Ben: Here's his bag, it's filled with toys and uh other stuff.
Ben handed Beck the bag, Jade walked up.
Ben: And here's the kid.
Ben handed the toddler to Jade, disgusted she sat him down.
Jade: Remind me again why we're watching your son?
Ben: Merissa is working late and I have things to do.
Beck: What things?
Ben: Uh, kite flying. Yeah, I'm flying kites. Well, bye!
Ben rushed out closing the door, John started whimpering.
Jade: Uh, what is happening?
John started crying Beck picked him up.
Beck: He just misses his dad.
Beck tried to soothe the toddler causing him to cry harder.
Beck: How do we get him to stop crying?
Jade: Don't know, don't care. He's your problem, not mine.
Jade walked back to the kitchen to finish dinner.
Beck: Come on John, its okay. Your daddy will be back soon.
Twenty minutes later:
Jade finished dinner, she walked to the living room where Beck was still trying to calm John.
Jade: Will you shut him up?
Beck: I'm trying, I hope we're not disturbing the neighbors.
Jade: I don't care about the neighbors, just shut him up. He's giving me a headache.
Beck: I tried everything Jade. He's not giving in.
Jade: That's it, I'm calling Ben to come get his kid.
Beck: No! You can't do that.
Jade: You're right. Ben's the idiot. I'm calling Merissa.
Beck: No, I mean, we can't give up.
Beck's phone started ringing, he looked to see who it was.
Beck: I have to take this call, will you take him.
Jade: No.
Beck: Jade, he's not that bad. I really have to take this call, here.
Without warning Beck handing the screaming toddler to Jade before grabbing his phone rushing into another room.
Jade: Don't you ever get tired of this screaming?
Jade sat down holding John.
Jade: (sighs) Will you shut up?
Jade sat the toddler aside and grabbed his bag.
Jade: What's in here that will hush you up?
Jade searched the bag finding something.
Jade: Will this work?
Jade stuck a pacifier into John's mouth, he instantly calmed down.
Jade: Was that all it took?
Jade rolled her eyes looking at the TV, John crawled onto Jade's lap.
Jade: What are you doing?
John laid his head on Jade's chest closing his eyes.
Jade: Oh I see what you're doing. You're using me as a human pillow.
Jade tried taking John off her, he tightened his grip and started to whimper.
Jade: Fine, you win. Anything to keep you quiet.
After finishing his phone call Beck returned to the living room.
Beck: How'd you do it?
Jade: I gave him his pacifier.
Beck: Why didn't I think of that?
Jade shrugged looking down at John.
Jade: I think it's safe to put him in bed now.
Jade carefully stood up and carried John to the bedroom. After putting John in bed, Jade walked to the kitchen where back was sitting at the table prepared to eat, Jade sat down.
Jade: I hope it's not cold.
Beck stared at Jade smiling.
Jade: What?
Beck: You were great with him.
Jade: It was nothing, I was just shutting him up.
Beck: Are you going to be great when we have our own kid?
Jade nearly choked on her corn.
Jade: Huh?
Beck: Don't you think it's time to start a family Jade?
Jade: We are a family Beck.
Beck: A family with a kid. One or two at least.
Jade sighed as she took a sip of her drink.
Jade: Beck, I'm not ready to have a baby yet. You know that.
Beck: Would you consider having one?
Jade: You and me parents Beck? That's funny.
Beck: What's funny about it?
Jade: You couldn't even stop a two year old from crying. What happens with our own baby?
Beck: I can learn.
Jade: Well, you have a good few years to learn.
Beck: Few years?
Jade: (nods) We are not having kids right now, it's just not the right time.

A couple days later, Jade was having lunch with her best friend Jenny.
Jade: He's acting so childish about this. He keeps moping around the house acting like he's depressed.
Jenny: He just wants to have a baby Jade. What's wrong with that?
Jade: I can think of a hundred things.
Jenny: You really don't want to have a baby?
Jade: I don't know.
Jenny: You and Beck have been married for three years now, don't you think it's time?
Jade: Jenny please, a baby would just be a little too much for us.
Jenny: Do you two still have sex with a condom?
Jade: Of course, did you not hear what I just said?
Jenny: I think Beck wants to add more to his life. He might get bored with just the two of you.
Jade: No he won't.
Jenny: I'm getting bored. I want to be an auntie.
Jade: You have a sister.
Jenny: You know she can't have any babies.
Jade: Lucky her.
Jenny: You and Beck talked about having a kid, why all of a sudden are you pushing away the subject?
Jade: Because, I, not everyone is fit to be a mother.
Jenny: That's true.
Jade: And if I have a kid I don't want to ruin it's life.
Jenny: That's not fair to Beck.
Jade: (annoyed) Well then why don't you have a baby for Beck.
Jenny: Cant. It'll ruin my figure.
Jenny smiled at Jade causing Jade to laugh.
Later that day:
Beck returned home late in the evening he walked to the kitchen to make him a sandwhich. Jade walked in and kissed him on the neck.
Beck: Hey babe.
Jade: Hey.
Beck: How was your day?
Jade: It actually went great. I've been thinking hard though.
Beck: Thinking hard? About what?
Jade: Us.
Beck: What's wrong with us?
Jade: (sighs) Maybe having a kid won't be so bad.
Beck: Why the sudden change of attitude?
Jade: I know how much you want a baby and it's killing me seeing you upset about it.
Beck: I'm not upset Jade.
Jade: Yes you are.
Beck: Jade, if you don't want a baby that's fine. I wouldn't force you into doing something you disagree on.
Jade: I'm not disagreeing. I think it's time to have a baby.
Beck looked at Jade.
Beck: Really?
Jade: Yes, now do you want to waste time talking?
Jade took the butter knife and bread from Beck's hands putting it on the counter. She pulled Beck close kissing him. Beck pulled away.
Beck: You sure about this?
Jade: Yes Beck! Stop asking before I change my mind.
