The life of the Swanson house hold was never normal and tonight was no exception.

It was now twelve o'clock in the morning and two out of three Swanson children were up with their parents, Beca and Jesse.

"Mama, why can't Ally be up here with us?" Seven-year-old John asked from the counter his mouth rimmed with chocolate.

(Beca's father's name is John and he was ecstatic when he found out Beca was going to 'name the baby after him' when really, they were naming him after John Bender from The Breakfast Club.)

"Because, sweetie, Alli's only five months old and little babies can't be up at 12am eating chocolate bars on new years, that would make us bad parents." Beca said reasonably.

"It's not twelve am yet..." John muttered.

"As if giving our children chocolate bars at 12am doesn't?" Jesse mumbled under his breath.

unfortunately for him, Beca heard.

"You're the one who gave them the damn candy bars!" Beca said walking down the stairs to reach her precious baby Alli.

"Mommy said a bad word!" Bella gasped, her eyes wide.

"Yes she did. Mommy's bad, isn't she?" Jesse said ruffling the little girls chocolate-brown hair.

Beca came slowly up the stairs with a tiny baby girl with blue eyes and a small about of brown hair that looked considerably red.

"We don't want ally cat to miss her first new years do we?" She said in a baby voice.

Beca really was the best mother. She loved her children to death.

She loved seven-year-old John, who had dark brown hair, brown eyes, and his father's height.

She loved five-year-old Bella, who had light brown hair, blue eyes, and her mother's height.

And she loved baby Alli who had Light brown/red hair, blue eyes and her... well they couldn't tell whose height yet, but they all supposed it was Beca's.

"No we wouldn't." Jesse said kissing the baby's head.

The other two Swanson children ran to Beca and hugged her legs.

"Jesse, I'm being attacked by sugar hyped kids! Help!" Beca said smiling.

"You made them."

"That was a two person job, my friend."

"Why was it a two person job?" Bella asked questionably.

"Yeah, Becs, why?" Jesse said turning to Beca with a smirk.

"Because you need to people to have a baby, a mommy and a daddy." Beca said simply.

"How come the daddy doesn't always stay with his family?" John asked as the two older kids sat on the couch and Alli remained in Beca's hands.

"Sometimes the daddy isn't ready for a family." Beca said nodding.

She knew that, but now she had a new family. She wasn't a Mitchell, she was a Swanson.

and she loved every bit of it. She loved her kids jumping on her and Jesse's bed at six in the morning, she loved their tiny little hands, she loved the way they peacefully sleep, she loved the way they curled up towards her during a thunderstorm, she loved the way her husband loved her. And she loved the way she loved him.

"Jess." Beca said nodding her head towards the clock.

11:59

"Three, two," They whispered, "one!"

Beca and Jesse kissed and said happy new year.

a new year of love, happiness, and family.

Beca walked over with Jesse to her children who were passed out on the couch.

"Happy new year John, Bella, and Alli." She said as Jesse picked up the two sleeping kids and brought them to their room.

Beca put Alli downstairs and went to bed with her husband.

"Night, weirdo."

"Night, nerd."
