Yes, I've been fast this time. :3 These are two to three (small) one shots. You can expect time jumps.
After this chapter, there now will be about four or five more. I'm still open for suggestions what else to write for this.
I hope you'll enjoy. :)

Jade sits on the rim of the bathtub in the bathroom that's connected to her and Beck's bedroom. The seven year old Melissa stands in front of her, her back to her. She wears a bright yellow dress that Andre and his fiancée have chosen and Jade just now makes her an put-up hairdo.

She has chosen a dark lilac dress for herself and is already pretty much done with her own hair and makeup. Though she will definitely take another look before they go.

She's putting the second to last pin in Melissa's hair when Beck steps in. The two-year-old Sophia is sitting in his arms. She's already ready as well. Andre and his finacée have also chosen her dress to be a bright yellow. She'll be the flower girl while Melissa will help her a little bit but be primarily the ring bearer. As Beck is the best man, Jade is the only one without a 'job' at that wedding but she's glad about it. It's enough for her to have to attend.

Beck has changed Sophia but they now seem both good to go. Jade still loves seeing Beck in a suit. She has always loved the way he dresses on a daily basis as well but there's just something about him in a suit...

"How do I look, Dad?" Melissa asks as she also notices her father and her sister coming in.

Beck looks her up and down as if he has to consider before he smiles: "Beautiful. You will draw everyone's eyes to you."

Melissa hums happily about that. Jade knows how she must feel. She sees the way Beck looks at her, just like he does at Jade herself, just likes he says those words like he always says them to her... She knows how special you feel when Beck looks at you like that and tells you something like that.

"Am I done?" Melissa then asks and as Jade puts in the last hairpin in that same second, she answers: "Go take a look yourself."

Melissa leaves the bathroom for the bedroom where they have a full-body mirror. Beck puts Sophia down who promptly follows her big sister as Jade stands up and looks into the small bathroom mirror, checking her hair and makeup.

"You also look absolutely stunning," Beck says as he steps closer to her until he's right with her.

"I know," she of course has to answer though she instantly feels the warmth spread inside of her. She turns to him, kisses him shortly before she looks back into the mirror.

Beck steps behind her, wraps his arms around her waist, kisses her neck and closes his eyes. She strokes his hands around her with her own as she looks at both of them in the mirror. She is definitely ready to go as well and she has to say that they both look good together. Like they always have. They probably look even better now than in their teens and in her opinion they fit together perfectly. She possibly could look at them together or only just Beck as well forever.

But they don't have the time for that.

She glances to her wristwatch while she hears Melissa and Sophia talking excitedly in the bedroom.

It's still really early but as Beck, Melissa and Sophia are all needed for the ceremony, they are expected way before anything really begins. Which is why: "I guess we have to get going."

She doesn't pull away from Beck though, leans heavily into him instead. She doesn't feel like going at all.

She hates every big gathering, possibly especially weddings because everyone is so lovey-dovey at those, everyone feels the need to hug and kiss everybody. It's kind of her worst nightmare, not to mention that some of the happiness always seems fake which she always hates.

She's fine with the big crews on her jobs and also all the people on big events but she doesn't need that many people around in her private life. Andre's wedding will be quite big. There won't be any press people though which helps a lot for feeling more at ease. And of course, there will be their friends. Jade guesses she will have at least a little fun. But she still isn't excited to go.

It's almost as if Beck knows what she's thinking. "It will be wonderful," he says as he's opening his eyes again, dropping a kiss on her hair, still holding her close.

"I hate weddings," she says.

"I know you do," Beck answers, looking into her eyes through the mirror with a smile on his face. "Though I seem to remember you liked one very much. When was that again?"

There's a glint in his eye and Jade of course knows which wedding he's talking about. About their own which she did like. Which she loved.

"I don't know what you're talking about," she says anyway and turns around in his arms to kiss him.

As soon as they break apart, he pouts but not for too long, before he leans in for another kiss.

This one is a long one and only gets interrupted by Melissa's voice: "We're ready to go."

"You are, huh?" Jade asks. Beck has his arms still around her and she leans her head against his shoulder, both looking at their children who have come back into the bathroom.

"Are you happy with the way you look?" Beck wants to know and after Melissa's nod, he adds: "Perfect. Then let's put on our jackets and let's get going."

Melissa nods another time and then grabs Sophia's hand. "Come on, Phee." She pulls her out of the bathroom with her. Sometimes, it's as if she knows her parents would love another second on their own, and she just gives it to them.

Jade kisses Beck another time before she finally frees herself and takes his hand into hers instead as she says: "I can't believe it's already been ten years." Ten years ago they got married. She almost can remember the day as if it was yesterday. Especially when she heard all the stupid wedding planning from Andre and his girlfriend. It reminded her of all those things they had to go through before their wedding, all those things that have happened.

Beck of course knows she's still talking about their wedding, even if they got interrupted by their children. "It was such a beautiful day," he says as they follow their children out of the bathroom and out of the bedroom as well.

"It was a mess," Jade says because it was. She knows it could've been worse but she still was annoyed at the thought of how much longer the photographs took than what they had planned, and how the power went out for several minutes, and how the food wasn't really what they had ordered.

But she also remembers their vows, their cake, their first dance and every other dance after that, the songs their friends and themselves sang, the warm words spoken to her by his father, and Beck's teary eyes as he said 'I do'.

Therefore she adds in a whisper: "But one of the best days of my life."

She stops and pulls him into another deep kiss which he of course returns with a smile.

"Beck? I want a third child."

Beck is long used to Jade being pretty prompt and blunt at times but he totally hasn't counted on that.

"What?" he asks and Jade suddenly scoots away from him which he never really likes.

She says: "I want a third child. I know our life is a little messy right now but when isn't it?"

Beck looks at her for a long moment before he asks: "Who will take care of it?" Melissa is eight by now and at school most of the day while Sophia is three and in preschool. The few days Beck is away to film something while Jade also has to be at work their parents or friends can take care of it – or the children can go themselves to their own friends and play there for the day. A newborn child will be much more difficult. They have never wanted to give a young child away every day. They know it works for some people but they were able to manage it this way with their first two children and Beck doesn't want to do it differently with a third one.

For Melissa, it has been Jade who stayed home some time, barely took any jobs and only if it worked with Beck's jobs. With Sophia, it was Beck who took some time off while Jade kept working. But they are both doing quite good at the moment and... who will take care of a third child?

Jade works as a co-creator and a writer on a series with the man who also created the series she has been a regular on before. After the series didn't get picked up, they have created this new horror series together and it's already about to go into its second season.

Beck meanwhile actually gets asked to audition for movies – or even just to directly take a certain role in them. To be at that point in his career is unbelievable for him.

Jade answers: "I can. You know I don't have to be in the office every day. I write most of the scripts at home anyway. For the team meetings and the table reads I can take the baby with me. Lena does that every now and then and it's not a problem." Lean is another writer on the show. "I also wouldn't have to write as many scripts for the next season. I think I can work something out, especially around the birth."

They look at each other and suddenly, a wide smile spreads over Beck's face and he says: "I love you so much, Jade." He leans forward and they share a kiss before he says: "I thought about having another child for weeks now. Or months. I would also be willing to cut back a little but you know... if they come to me with a job I really want... I'm not sure if I can say no to everything. But I thought I couldn't ask you for another child when I'm possibly going away for two months to shoot on location who-knows-where and you would have to take care of all three of them on your own. But I'd love another child."

She smiles as well now and kisses him again while she pushes him down on the couch.

"Well, then," she whispers as they barely break apart. "We could get started on it right now."

Of course, she's still taking the pill but the kids are asleep and he's definitely on board with this, so he just pulls her into another rough kiss.

They are both not sure yet if they want the doctor to tell them the sex of the baby. They made him say it the last two times but maybe a surprise could also be interesting and fun.

Though the thing is that Jade thinks she knows anyway: "It'll be a girl anyway."

Beck looks at her with a smile. They both lie in bed. It's late in the evening and they may have used their time alone together but now have started talking again.

Beck supports himself on his elbow next to Jade, so they're able to look at each other. He rubs over her belly with his free hand as he asks: "Are you sure?"

Jade intertwines her fingers with his over her belly and looks at him with narrowed eyes: "Would you rather have a boy?"

Beck instantly sees that Jade worries. Because she is absolutely sure she'll have another girl. She said she bets it'll be girls during the last two pregnancies and has obviously been right. He's sure she'll be right this time as well. And she seems to worry that he would rather have a son than a third daughter.

"No. Do you?" he asks.

"No," she says and he knows it's the truth. It doesn't matter to her. And it definitely also doesn't matter to him. He loves his two little girls. Would a son be great to have? Sure enough, it would be. But he knows a third daughter would be just as great.

And with a smile, he says: "If it's a girl, I'll be relaxed. We've already proofed we make and raise good girls."

That also makes Jade smile softly and suddenly she pulls him to her and they share a deep kiss.

Yes, they definitely make good girls. Melissa and Sophia are both so different and both wonderful and lovely in their very own ways.

They barely break apart for Jade to say: "I love you."

"I love you, too," Beck whispers back before they get lost in another kiss.
