Just to clarify, Beca originally only told Chloe that she was pregnant, but when it was confirmed that she miscarried and called Chloe to come and see her, the other Bellas found out. If you have any questions, feel free to PM me or even tweet me ( RhyleighGrace) :) Thanks for all the reviews! Only one chapter to go.
"Jesse?" Beca stood awkwardly at the open door of the Treble house, poking her head in.
"Beca", he said with a grin, loping towards her. "Come on in, what's up? Are you okay?"
She offered him a juice pouch, and he looked at her in surprise.
"Strawberry kiwi. Your favourite", she said quietly.
'Thanks, Beca". He gave her a small smile. "Are you okay?"
"I'm sorry".
"No, Bec, I'm sorry for pushing you. I mean, it wasn't easy on me, I can't imagine how hard it was on you".
She swallowed deeply, before nodding. "Yeah…"
He put an arm around her, kissing the top of her head.
"The stepmonster had the baby", she offered. "It's a little boy".
"Hey, congratulations big sister". He grinned.
"Thanks. They called him Nicholas". She shuffled a little on the spot, her bottom lip worrying beneath her teeth, before glancing up at him.
He knew what was playing on her mind before she could even ask. "Want me to come to the hospital with you?"
"Could you?" her heartbeat sped up a little, as she nodded (a little too eagerly, she wanted to smack herself).
He nodded, before piercing the straw through the strawberry kiwi juice pouch.
"Yeah", he agreed, and Beca grinned.
"Bec, are you sure you're going to be okay to do this?" Jesse worried, as they headed into the hospital doors. "I mean-"
"Yeah", she said with a nod, entwining her fingers with his. "We'll get another chance when the time's right".
The way she said 'we' made his heart soar, and he grabbed her into a hug, spinning her around and making her squeal. Setting her on the ground again, he pressed his lips against hers, feeling her tiny arms wrap themselves around his body.
"It's inevitable", he whispered into her hair, feeling her silent laughter shake both of their bodies.
"Beca! Jesse!" Sheila grinned, looking happy but tired, as the two stood in the doorway of the hospital room. "Come in, Beca sweetheart. Come and meet your baby brother".
The little boy was nestled in her stepmother's arms, wrapped in a blue blanket.
"A little brother", Beca breathed, her heart soaring.
"Dr Mitchell, Mrs Mitchell, he's beautiful", Jesse said with a grin, as the baby settled into Beca's arms. She cradled him gently, running a finger over his soft cheek. "Congratulations".
"Thank you, Jesse", Beca's father said with a smile.
"Nicholas Mitchell". Beca sat gingerly on the edge of the bed, a huge grin spreading over his face. "Does Michael know?"
"Michael's flying in tonight", Sheila told her. "We wanted to wait for Michael to be here before we told you, but we'd like you to be Nicholas's godparents.
"What?" Beca's eyes widened and Jesse reached out, knowing she wouldn't drop the baby but worried that she would. "Me?"
"You and Jesse and Michael and Anna", her father elaborated, naming Michael's girlfriend of the past five years. "We've decided to give him two sets of godparents".
"Me?" Jesse said incredulously.
Dr Mitchell shrugged, and Beca looked at him with wide eyes.
"You want us to be his godparents?" she squeaked, and he nodded.
"You make my daughter happy", he said finally. "And that little boy will always have someone to look up to".
"Thank you!" Jesse said finally.
"Want to hold him?" Beca said after a moment, and Jesse accepted the baby in his arms (fighting back the urge to hold him in the air and sing 'The Circle of Life' from the Lion King, because he knew that her parents would immediately regret their decision in naming him godfather and Beca would dump his ass), cradling him gently.
"He's beautiful", he said with a smile.
Beca leant against him and Jesse pressed a kiss to the side of her head, their eyes never leaving the baby.
There was unspoken angst between them. Neither knew that the other had curled up in their respective rooms for days, watching The Breakfast Club on repeat. Beca had listened to what she called her 'Jesse mixes' (although she would never tell Jesse about them), and Jesse had listen to the mixes Beca had given him. Apart, they had mourned the baby that was meant to be theirs, but in a way, they had healed.
And seeing Nicholas, their godson and Beca's baby brother, seemed to bring them together again.
They were together again.
And everything was okay.
