"Hi" Jesse said as he peeked his head through the door of Beca's office.

"Jesse" Beca said pacing to him, she wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him down to her to kiss him.

"Bec, you look like crap" Jesse said eyeing Beca after he pulled away

"Thanks" Beca said gently scratching the back of his neck

"No seriously, you don't look fine," Jesse pressed a hand on her forehead "No fever," he said removing his hand

"I woke up feeling sick to my stomach, but I'm better now" Jesse nodded at her words

"Am I early?" Jesse asked

"You are not. I need to do something real quick then I'm all yours."

"I made plane reservations for San Francisco, a road trip with zombie you isn't fun" Jesse said tucking a curl behind her ear. "Bec, you should be spending your day off sleeping and relaxing, not visiting your mom. I'm sure she'll understand if you don't go."

"I can't postpone again, and she really wants to meet up"

"Are you anywhere near getting this album done? You've been practically living here."

Beca let out a laugh in spite of herself "I wish I were"

"But it's been a month and you've been working your ass off"

"Well, we are always changing and adding stuff and I got a couple of news songs" Beca sighed "Don't worry about it, I'm used to this, working against the clock is my thing" she assured him removing herself from his arms.

"Okay" Jesse said deciding to drop it.

"What I'm not used to is trying to finish up fast to go to your place and catch you before you sleep. Working for late hours was easier before you came into my life" Beca said looking for a flash drive on her desk.

"Are you hinting that I make it hard for you to work?" Jesse asked jokingly

"Yeah, that's exactly what I'm hinting at, now that I got you always in the back of my mind I can't give my work my full attention." Beca said as she picked up the flash drive

"I'll be right back" She said pacing out of her office.

Jesse watched her close the door then went and sat on the couch she had in her office, waiting for her to come back.


"I told him to wait" Beca said in annoyance as she slammed the door to her office.

"What's wrong?" Jesse asked

"I told Ryan to wait until I show him a bunch of samples I made a while ago, and he left"

"Who?"

"Ryan, the fuckface I'm producing the album for" Beca said grabbing her laptop.

Huffing, she sat next to Jesse.

"Maybe he didn't hear you"

"Oh he heard me just fine, he just wanted to leave. The asshole is acting like he's doing me a favor by staying after hours. I'm the one sacrificing my own time to get his fucking album done instead of being with you, and by being with you I mean intimately, I fucking miss you and it sucks that I'm always tired" Beca said as she angrily typed an e-mail for Ryan attaching the samples to it.

"Okay." Jesse said taking her laptop from her hands when he saw that the overuse of profanities in her e-mail.

"You are not sending that." Jesse said placing the laptop on the floor

"C'mere" Jesse pulled Beca in his arms

"This is sleep deprivation talk" he kissed her then rested his cheek on her head. Beca started relaxing as she snuggled up to him.

She abruptly jumped from the couch and ran to the bathroom attached to her office. Kneeling down, she threw up everything she ate for the day. Jesse ran after her and held her hair back for her, rubbing her back as she puked.

"It's like my insides are forcing their way out" Beca cried when the sickness won't go even though there wasn't anything left to throw up.

"Beca are you late?" Jesse asked watching her flush the toilet

"No" she shook her head

"Are you sure?" he helped her stand up

"Of course I'm sure" she yelled at him "I'm sorry" she apologized immediately

Jesse wiped her tears then pulled her in a hug "Pregnancy crossed my mind this morning, but I'm not late" Beca sniffed pulling away

"We'll get a test just to be sure" Jesse said hiding his sudden excitement

"Okay" Beca nodded. Watching him lean down she pushed him "Dude, I was puking don't kiss me"

Jesse kissed her forehead instead "Stay here, I'll go get the pregnancy test and be right back" Jesse let go of her

Resting her hands on the edge of the sink, she closed her eyes thinking about the last time she got her period. "I'm not late" she murmured washing her face.


Jesse couldn't keep the grin of his face as he ran to the elevator. The thought of have a baby with Beca excited him in a way he didn't think it would. He couldn't stop himself from thinking about the possibilities. Don't get too excited. He told himself pushing the button for Beca's level. She said she's not late. He reminded himself as he waited in the elevator.


Walking into her office, Jesse forced the grin off of his face as he watched Beca nervously bite her nails leaning against her office, lost in her thoughts.

"Bec?" he waved his hand in front of her to get her attention.

Beca looked at him snapping out of her thought "You got it?" she asked

"Yep" he pulled the pregnancy test from his back pocket "The pharmacist said you pee on the stick and wait-"

"Yeah, yeah I know." Beca took it from him then paced to the bathroom.

"You can come in if you want" Beca said from the bathroom as she set the timer on her phone. Jesse ran to the bathroom

"Now we wait" He said wrapping her in his arms, he rubbed her arms feeling how tensed she was.

"Yep" she nodded looking at the test.

"I forgot how long these five minutes are" Beca said checking the time after two minutes of silence

"Stop looking at the time" Jesse said kissing her temple to comfort her as he took her phone from her putting it in his pocket. "It'll beep when the five minutes are over"

Beca started biting her nails as she closed her eyes leaning against Jesse. Not liking what he was seeing, Jesse held her hand and squeezed "It's okay" he said to her ear before kissing her cheek.

"Ready?" Jesse asked hearing her phone beep

"Nope" Beca said reaching for the test as she held her breath after she removed herself from Jesse's arms

"It's negative. Told you I'm not late." Beca smiled finally able to breathe as she looked up at Jesse to find him looking at the test, disappointment showing on his face.

Jesse nodded looking up to meet her gaze. "C'mon, let's get you home. You need to catch some sleep and if your stomach is still bothering you, I'm dragging you to see a doctor" He gave her his hand

"When is our flight?" Beca asked after she threw the test in the trash can then took his hand.

"Sunday morning" He interlocked their fingers "Call me selfish, but I want you for myself tomorrow" Jesse shrugged.

"No you are definitely not selfish, I'll text mom and make brunch plans for Sunday" Beca said letting go of Jesse's hand to gather her stuff then glanced at her laptop "Thanks for not letting me send that e-mail, by the way"

"I think you used fuck more than ten times, and I didn't even read the e-mail it was a quick glance"

"Yeah, he really pissed me off."

"I saw that" Jesse said watching Beca pick up her laptop from the floor.

"I'll send a more professional one later" she said after wearing her sunglasses.

"Bec it's night time. You can take off your sunglasses"

"I look like crap, no way I'm letting anyone see me like this"

Jesse chuckled watching Beca pull her hair in a ponytail. "All set?" He asked

"Yep" Beca nodded adjusting her laptop messenger bag.


Jesse held Beca in his arms as she dozed off thinking about the excitement he experienced just from the thought of having a kid with Beca and her reaction, which was the total opposite to his.

Stroking her hair, Jesse tried to imagine what it would be like if they had a kid, and found himself grinning.

Jesse decided that he like the idea of having kids and starting a family with Beca. However, knowing how she felt about marriage, he knew it's gonna be a pain in the ass to get her to agree to marry him let alone have a kid with him.

Beca sleepily threw her arm around his neck, he moved in a way she'd be comfortable and made her hold into him in the process, tightly. She murmured something he didn't understand yet smiled at. Jesse kissed the tip of his nose wrapping his arms around her protectively, and then buried his face in her neck, closing his eyes as he breathed her scent.


"Becs?" Jesse called gently shaking Beca to wake her up "get up"

Beca moaned in her sleep rolling over, giving him her back.

"You need to wake up, you haven't had anything to eat since yesterday." he grabbed a pillow and threw it at her.

"I'm up" Beca said in a low voice wrapping the pillow he threw at her in her arms

"How's your stomach?" Jesse asked as he sat Indian style facing her back

"I don't feel sick anymore" she said rolling over to face him

"Great" Jesse leaned down and kissed her "Do you think you can eat and keep it down?" he asked watching her sit up

"I'm pretty sure I can inhale anything, Jesse" Beca said leaning against the headboard

"Okay" Jesse nodded chuckling then laid down in a way his head was on Beca's lap and feet were touching the floor

"You look super comfortable right now" Beca said running her fingers through his hair

"That's because I am" Jesse grinned at her

"Are you growing a beard?" Beca asked scratching his stubble

"Yes, I wanna get my pedo look- So, I decided to watch over what you eat. I know you're a grown woman and don't need me to watch over you, but I don't care. I did some reading while you were asleep and now I feel like a nutrition expert. I'm gonna nag you about your eating habits and make sure you sleep more than you do." Jesse said feeling her scratch his stubble as he watched her look out the window.

"You get pressured by deadlines and it's affecting your health. You're not super human, everyone's got limits"

"Okay" Beca gave in looking back at him

"Also, no more coffee for you miss, you gonna have to find an alternative"

"Oh c'mon, you know I need coffee to function" she rolled her eyes as she stopped scratching his stubble

"you need to treat your body right. Try green tea instead, it's good for the heart."

Beca nodded knowing he had a point "Since you're planning on controlling what I eat, I'm entitled to one coffee a day."

"Deal" Jesse agreed happy that she didn't fight him "C'mon get up, you gotta eat, I made soup" he said sitting up

Beca got out of bed stretching as she walked out of her room.

"You still don't know what your mom wants to talk to you about?" Jesse asked

"Nope, she didn't say anything" Beca shook her head taking a seat on a stool. "I have a guess though"

"What is it?"

"I think my mother is getting married" Beca grimaced

"Wow" Jesse said grabbing a bowl

"Yes." Beca nodded watching Jesse fill the bowl with soup

"Becs you don't know for sure. It could be something else" Jesse shrugged, thanking his stars that she brought up marriage

"She's being super nice, I tried pissing her off but it didn't work. She asks about you more the usual and brings him up out of nowhere. I know my mother, this means she's warming up to something that I won't like."

"How is bringing me up warming you up for something you won't like?"

"Asking about what I like in general more often than she usually does, like my interests and work, and stuff,"

"What you like?" Jesse arched an eyebrow placing the soup in front of her

"Who I love, in your case" Beca rolled her eyes "This's the worst case scenario, right after cancer, but she told me she's fine."

"Is your mother getting hitched really that bad?" Jesse asked

Beca nodded "All my life I've seen her date men then get dumped. The longest she stayed with a guy was dad, and only because I was in the mix—which was a dumb decision, if you ask me. I'm not judging them, but it was stupid"

"Your parents seem cool with each other" Jesse said resting his hands on the counter

"Yeah, when they decided to split, they also decided to stay civil for my sake. But then dad moved to Barden and mom and I to Seattle, I occasionally saw dad during holidays or when mom would go on a trip and can't take me with her so she ships my ass to Georgia."

Jesse handed her a spoon "Thanks" she thanked him

"Sorry you had to go through that"

"Don't be, it fine. The one thing that really bugged me growing up is mom keeping dad's last name" Beca said looking at Jesse

"that's the only thing that bothered you, weirdo?"

"You don't know what's like when people presume my mother is a single mom, they pitied me and I hated it, partly why I hated dad too."

"Why did she keep your last name?"

"To have the same last name as me or something, it's pointless and awkward. She should have changed back to her maiden name."

"Well if your guess is right, you won't have to go through this awkwardness anymore" Jesse took a seat next to Beca.

"Her boyfriend has two sons, that's a whole other level of awkwardness. I've known Liz for half of my life and it's still weird to hear her call me sis"

"Liz does it because you hate it" Jesse chuckled "How is she anyway?"

"She's still flawless. I'll see her if I'm going to spend Christmas at dad's this year- This is so good, Jess" Beca nodded at the soup.

"Glad you like it" he smiled at her.

"Hey Becs" Jesse said thinking of how to ask her if she still thinks marriage is lame.

"Yeah?"

"Can you promise me you won't be a dick to your mother if she's getting married?"

"If it's really happening I'm gonna sit through it like a good girl like I did during dad's wedding. This time, at least I can get drunk." Beca shrugged "I just don't see why she would do it,"

"When people get married they are in for the long term. It's a lifetime commitment"

"You don't need a piece of paper to stay with one person. You can do that without signing paper and wearing rings."

Damn it. Jesse mentally facepalmed himself as he ran a hand through his hair.

"Marriage is more than a piece of paper," he finally said

"Jesse, it's my opinion." She glanced at him.

Jesse rested his elbow on the counter staring at the fridge "You thought people who are in love are delusional morons" he reminded her

"True that" Beca chuckled before she put the spoon down to hold the bowl with her hands and sipped the soup directly from the bowl.

"What are you doing?" he asked watching her drink the soup

"It's called being practical, this soup would take me forever to finish, and time is precious" Beca explained between sips.

"What time is it?" she asked putting the bowl down.

"it is eleven-twenty-two am" Jesse answered her.

"You shouldn't have let me sleep this much" Beca said get off the stool

"Well, I couldn't bring myself to wake you up," Jesse smiled at her when she threw her arms around his neck

"Thanks for the soup" Beca leaned in kissing him "Wanna shower with me?" she asked against his lips.

"Have I ever said no to that?"

"It's a rhetorical question" Beca said walking backwards to her room.
