Hi. Thank you for the views so far. I really appreciate it. So this starts when Beca and Jesse are on their way to New York for Thanksgiving. Soooo... Yeah. Just read, enjoy, and review! Thanks guys!
Jesse is sitting on Beca's bed next to her suitcase. She is packing for New York. She is holding her computer and frowning. She is deep in thought.
"Take it." Jesse says to her.
"Are you sure?" Beca asks him.
"Yeah, I'm sure." Jesse says.
"I just don't want to spend much time on it." Beca says.
"If you get an idea you need it with you. Sorry, but that is your life, Beca." Jesse says.
"I never thought of it like that." Beca says. She finishes packing, and they head to the airport.
"Dad, I will be fine. Yes, he talked to his parents. Why wouldn't he? Ok. Bye." Beca hangs up the phone. Beca and Jesse are standing in the airport waiting to board the plane to New York.
"Everything ok?" Jesse says looking at Beca with a worried expression.
"He likes you." Beca says.
"That's a problem?" Jesse says questioningly.
"No. He is just bothering me." Beca says. They board the plane and head off to New York.
"No fear of flying this time?" Jesse says to Beca.
"This necklace helps me with that one." She says holding out the music note necklace she is wearing. He leans over and kisses her on the cheek.
"I'm glad to know I have helped you with something." Jesse says. He leans over and gets a package from his backpack. It is a box wrapped in wrapping paper, like a present.
"I was going to give you this for your birthday, but they were on backorder and came in last week." He hands her the box. She opens it up skeptically and inside is a pair of black Beats Mixrs. She gets really excited and starts jumping up and down in her seat. She gets upset though when she discovers that she can't get into the package until they land.
"Beca for the last time, I don't have any scissors." Jesse says.
"Dang it. Why did you not bring any?" Beca says.
"They aren't allowed on planes, Beca. Please relax. We will be landing in a few minutes." Jesse says to her. She nods and puts her head on his shoulder. She sighs and kisses him.
"I love you." Beca says to him.
"I love you, too." Jesse says looking at her.
They land and his sister is there to pick them up. They go to baggage claim and head to Jesse's house. They pull up to the house.
"You are kidding me right?" Beca says. The Swanson home was a mansion. With large Greek columns and a beautiful entryway, this house is not what Beca is used too. The sheer size of the building was intimidating; would the people be intimidating, too?
"Jesse? I'm not so sure about this now. You did not tell me you were rich and possibly famous." She says not getting out of the car. She puts on her seatbelt.
"What are you doing? Come on, you need to meet my parents and my cousins." Jesse says pulling her out of the car. He gets her to go inside and they are greeted to lots and lots of family. She meets everyone from Jesse's baby cousin Maria to his grandmother, Charlotte. The next day, the ladies go shopping for some last minute groceries.
"So how did you meet Jesse?" Katherine Swanson asks while putting some fruit in the cart.
"Well, I first saw him because he sang to me from the back seat of your car." Beca says looking at the list Jesse's mom had written.
"You're that girl from the taxi." Katherine says smiling at her. "Jesse told me how pretty he thought you were after we drove away."
"We work together at the radio station." Beca says nodding.
"When did you get together?" Caroline, Jesse's aunt, asks. Beca sighs because she knows it will be a long trip.
"How was the trip to the store?" Jesse asks Beca after she comes upstairs.
"They know how to ask personal questions." Beca says as she plops down on his bed. He sits down next to her after getting out his laptop.
"I like them though. What are we watching now?" Beca says, making herself comfortable on his bed. He joins her.
"Perks of Being a Wallflower." Jesse says opening his laptop. They enjoy the movie.
"That was good!" Beca comments.
"You stayed awake!" Jesse says almost surprised.
"Shut up. You know I'm not a movie lover like you." Jesse gets up and hands Beca a ticket.
"What is this?" Beca says gesturing to the ticket he just handed her.
"A ticket to Chorus Line." Jesse says pulling her on her feet.
"Why?" Beca says hugging him.
"Because you're in New York, and it's good." Jesse says as he hands her the ticket.
"Can we go see the shops?" Beca says to him. She stands up on her toes trying to be as tall as possible. Jesse sees her struggling and leans over and kisses her.
"No short jokes." Beca says noticing the look on Jesse's face. He is silently laughing at her 5'2 self.
"Ok then." Beca starts to walk out the door. Jesse just stares at her as she walks out.
"Short stack!" Jesse calls after her. He runs after her. She turns around and smacks him in the arm. They go to all of the shops and Times Square. They watch Corus Line and Beca actually enjoyed it. They come back to the house later that day.
"Beca! Jesse! Glad you are here." Katherine exclaims as she walks from the kitchen to where they are.
"Hi mom." Jesse says.
"Hey, Mrs. Swanson!" Beca says.
"Do you think you could help me with dinner? I need a hand in the kitchen." Katherine Swanson asks.
"Uh, yeah. Sure!" Beca says. She joins Mrs. Swanson in the kitchen. Beca helps her and they talk about different things.
"Have you ever thought about your future?" Katherine asks while cooking.
"Well, I really want to produce music for a living, but Jesse was really the one who made me think about marriage and a family." Beca says.
"That's my boy. He has always wanted a family and a life with that special girl. You are that girl, Beca. He is always talking about you." Jesse's mother says.
"Jesse means so much to me." Beca says.
"You mean so much to him." Katherine says. They talk about Beca's past. Beca begins to close up, guarding herself from the touchy subject. Katherine reassures her that, if she is with Jesse, she is family, too.
"Thank you so much." Beca says as they hug. Beca goes upstairs. Jesse is sitting on his bed watching a movie. As he mouths the words, he doesn't see her come in and doesn't know she is in his room until she is sitting next to him.
"Whatcha watching?" Beca says as she sits down next to him.
"No, look away!" Jesse says shutting his computer quickly.
"What was that?" Beca asks.
"Well, it was a Harry Potter movie. You haven't seen those yet. Do you want to watch one now?" Jesse gets up and takes a movie off the shelf.
"No, Jess, I actually want to talk to you." Beca says to him. She grabs his hand and pulls him back.
"Is this because of something my mom said?" Jesse asks as he sits back down.
"Well, yeah. She asked me what I saw in my future. I told her about me wanting to become a music producer. We had talked about marriage briefly before but I don't know what you think." Beca says.
"Well I really want to get married have multiple kids, grow old with someone." Jesse says.
"That's what your mom said." Beca says.
"Do you want to ever get married?" Jesse asks her.
"I don't know. Maybe. It really depends. You make me want to be married, have kids, and grow old with you." Beca replies. She grabs the movie from his hand and puts it in his laptop. They watch Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone.
