I just want to thank the reviews I got. It helped motivate me I suppose to continue. I hope you enjoy. (Bechloe is still end game just hold on)
May
Week 1
'You're kidding me right? Chloe just wants to give us her baby?' Jesse's voice was teetering on the edge of enragement but he controlled his volume as they were sitting in the middle of a crowded restaurant.
'Calm down dude. I know the circumstances are odd but we were planning on having a family anyway.'
'Oh no It is perfectly normal for your best friend to just give you a baby. Give us a baby. Nothing wrong with that at all.'
'We are finally catching a break Jesse.'
'But through Chloe? Can I ask what happened to the father? Do we know anything about him?'
'It was a one night stand with some guy at a bar. She doesn't remember his name.'
'He could be a serial killer for all we know.'
'I'm pretty sure serial killers don't impregnate people.'
'The sarcasm isn't necessary.'
'I'm sorry.'
'I don't know Beca.'
'Just think about it.'
'What is there to think about? This is insane.' Jesse wiped his mouth and through his napkin on the table. He stood up and Beca held him back with her hand.
'You can't keep just leaving whenever you feel like it.'
'I'm not. I've just lost my appetite. I'll be waiting in the car.' Jesse brushed Beca's hand and walked out the door.
'Check.' Beca called out.
Week 2
'Are you sure it's going to be ok?' Chloe hopped onto the kitchen bench.
'Yeah he just needs time to get used to it. He'll be fine. Besides there are more prominent things to worry about. Happy birthday Chlo.' Beca turned around from the fridge and revealed an unfrosted chocolate cake. 'Are you going to help me with the frosting or what?' Beca placed the cake next to Chloe to grab the icing from the other side of the kitchen.
'Is this cake safe to eat?' Chloe smirked. Beca took the butter knife out of the icing and pointed it towards Chloe.
'You better watch it or this will be your last birthday.'
'Woah don't threaten the cargo.' Chloe inched forward and tasted the icing.
'Oh you're going to milk that while you can aren't you.'
'Oh yes indeed I am.'
'You nerd. Grab a knife.'
'Geez putting the pregnant lady through hard labour.'
'Hard labour my ass. You are barely a month pregnant you can not be using the pregnancy excuse for everything.'
'We'll see about that.'
'Happy birthday to you.' The Bellas harmonized the last note together.
'You guys are the best.' Chloe smiled and blew out the candles. 'It's good to have the girls back together. Even if it is for a day.'
'We wouldn't miss your day ginger.' Amy grabbed Chloe by the shoulder.
'Yeah besides Beca has stolen you from me.' Aubrey cut in.
'Oh no I think Stacie took you away long before I latched onto Beca. Besides you're not as fun to shamelessly flirt with.' Chloe laughed. Beca nudged Chloe in the shoulder.
'Oh I beg to differ.' Stacie raised her eyebrow and drew Aubrey in for a kiss.
'Geez get a room you aca-horndogs.' Amy covered her eyes.
'We have a room. We just don't have direct access just yet.' Stacie smirked.
'Please. Later.' Aubrey's voice lowered and took Stacie's hands in hers to stop them from wandering. Stacie huffed in reply but pecked Aubrey lightly on the cheek.
'Where's Jesse anyway?' Aubrey changed the subject.
'He'll be back soon. He is just showing a house to a client of his.'
'The life of a boring domesticated life.' Chloe joked.
'Shut up Beale. Who wants cake?'
'Yes! That sounds-' Chloe grabbed the nearest empty bag and threw up. Beca raced to her side.
'Are you ok?'
'Uh yeah.' Her head was still hovering over the bag. 'Just a little morning sickness.'
'Wait. You're preggos?' Amy exclaimed.
'Um... Yeah. Maybe.'
'Why didn't you tell me?' Aubrey practically jumped towards Chloe until she remembered what the plastic bag contained and held back a little.
'It hasn't really been that long. Hence the morning sickness etcetera Bree.'
'Who's that baby daddy?' Stacie asked.
'A one night stand.'
'His name?' Aubrey was racked with concern. Stacie tried soothing her with slow strokes down her back, which barely helped.
'Um… Yeah… I don't remember?' Chloe winced, preparing for the blonde girl's reaction.
'How? No I know how. What? I can't believe you. You are always safe.'
'And I still am. Things just happen sometimes.'
'What are you going to do with it?'
'Um…' Chloe exchanged looks between Beca and the others. Beca gave a small but reluctant nod. 'Well I'm giving it to Beca and Jesse.'
'What?!' Everyone shrieked, even Lily.
'They have been trying for a long time and you know. It makes sense. Ok?'
'Well whatever riles your crocodiles.' Amy brushed off. And that was that. For some reason the Bellas returned to their usual banter. Aubrey was still weary but she said no more. Not until later.
'What the hell were you thinking Chloe?' Aubrey and Chloe were in the kitchen cleaning up while the other girls were outside.
'What are you talking about?'
'The baby? Beca? I mean do you really want to do that?'
'Yes. I want to do it for Beca. I would do anything for her Aubrey.'
'Yeah I know. Even give her a child to raise with someone else who isn't you.'
'She deserves to be happy Bree. You haven't seen her after the miscarriages. She's broken. I can't watch her go through that.'
'And I can't watch you give away your child to the person you're in love with.'
'I don't know what you mean.' Chloe slowed her movements and avoided looking at Aubrey.
'Don't tell me you're still pretending you don't have a massive toner for this girl. The girl that you've been practically waiting for, for what? 7 years?!'
'I'm just trying to help her Bree. She has been trying for so long and it breaks her every time her pregnancy falls through. She's barely holding on.'
'Chlo. Neither are you.'
'I want to do this for her. She's my best friend.'
'No. I'm your best friend. She is your heart. There's a difference. Which is why you need to run. You know you can always come live with me and Stace.'
'Ha and listen to you guys have sex like animals on heat? No thanks. I'm going to be fine. It will be ok.'
'I'm going to kick her ass if anything happens.'
'You've been saying that since you laid eyes on her.'
'With good reason.' Chloe had no rebuttal. She tried but stood there with her mouth open. Cynthia Rose came in and interrupted them
'Seriously guys come back and relax. We'll all pitch in to clean later.'
'Sure.' Chloe wiped her hands and followed CR back to the others.
Week 3
'I only just got use to the idea of her giving us her baby. Why does she need to live with us.' Jesse whispered. Beca and Jesse were at the other end of the hallway watching Chloe move her stuff into guest room. Beca did offer but the incessant pestering from Beca telling her not to carry heavy things got her banned from helping.
'Because she is all alone. She is going to need people to help her through her pregnancy. Besides it's only until she has the baby.'
'We are going to have an extra mouth to feed Beca.'
'It's not like she isn't practically living with us anyway. The only difference now is that her clothes would be in the same house to where she spends most of her time anyway.'
'I don't like this.'
'What do you want me to do Jesse? Have my "Pregnant" best friend move out to live on her own where anything could happen to "our" baby and no one would be there to help her?'
'No it's just. I don't know Beca.'
'I'd feel better knowing that she is here rather than at her apartment alone.'
'Well you didn't before.'
'Before she was carrying our child Jesse!'
'Fine.'
'Fine.'
'Finee.'
'I'm so sleepy.' Chloe yawned on her bed. Beca and Chloe were lying on the guest bed, talking for hours like they would in Beca's bed.
'It's barely even 11.'
'Hey. I'll have you know building a baby is exhausting.'
'I know. I just can't believe we are actually having a baby. Can I listen to the heart beat again.'
'You've listened to it almost every night.'
'It calms me.'
'Fine.' Chloe handed Beca the little portable device and placed it over her stomach. Beca stuck the earphones in her ear. Badum. Badum. Badum. Beca couldn't speak. She was so mesmerised by the beat of the baby's heart.
'I could listen to this forever.' Beca whispered.
'Hmmm.' Chloe mumbled struggling to stay up. The door of the guest bedroom creaked. Beca turned to see Jesse making is way over. He lay next to Chloe, facing Beca and smiled.
'Can I listen?' Jesse asked after a minute past.
'Yeah.' Beca's lips couldn't help but curl. This was the first time Jesse seems mildly excited for the baby. He took the earphones from Beca and listened.
'Wow. This is incredible.'
'Yeah. That's our kid in there.'
'Yeah.' Jesse looked at Beca. 'I love you Beca.'
'I love you too.' Jesse leaned in, over Chloe and kissed her.
'Errrkkk. Gross.' Chloe pushed them lightly away from each other.
'Says the one who is constantly kissing my cheek.'
'Well that's because I'm your wife obviously.' Chloe giggled.
'Oh geez Chlo.' Beca smiled and scooted down to hug Chloe properly.
'I suppose you're staying here tonight?' Jesse asked as he got up.
'She's mine Swanson. The baby needs some mummy bonding time.' Chloe grinned at him. Jesse gave up protesting Chloe stealing Beca. They had the ongoing joke that if Beca was gay Chloe would have been the one Beca would have married instead. Little did Jesse know that if she had the chance she would be.
Week 4
If Beca and Chloe weren't already attached to the hip, they were now. Beca spent most of her time listening to the heart beats of the baby, which would cue Chloe's reign of impersonations of the baby. 'Mum you're already suffocating me.' 'Mum Stop it.' While Jesse would watch their ridiculousness from the dinning room hovering over the endless bills. And at nights Beca got so use to sleeping in the guest room with Chloe she could barely stand her old bed. In her old bed she couldn't lie there and practically watch her baby grow. She eventually did though because Jesse protested to the emptiness.
'What? Why didn't you tell me?' Beca hissed at Jesse.
'He just got out of rehab Beca.'
'And he has his own apartment.'
'Every time we leave him alone he relapses.'
'He can't live with us.'
'He's family Beca. He's my brother.'
'And he is standing like 4ft away from you guys.' He awkwardly waved at them.
'Beca dragged Jesse into the next room.
'I don't want him to be around Chloe. She doesn't need any outside influences.'
'He is clean. And as long as he stays here he will be.'
'Last time we caught him smoking a joint on our coffee table!'
'We weren't here. Don't worry I'll keep a close eye on him.
'At least tell him about Chloe. So he knows how serious it is.'
'No not yet. It's too much for him right now.
'Jesse'
'I will. Just not yet.'
'Fine.' Beca walked back to the front door and there stood Jared standing there, bored out of his mind. 'Sorry about that. You can take the room in the back.' Beca pointed down the hallway as Jared made his way through the house.
'Great…'
Thanks for the reviews guys :) It really did help trying to get this chapter down. What do you guys think? Will Jared cause trouble? Is Chloe's actions self-destructive? What about Jesse and Beca?
