****WhereHeHasSurgery****

The doctors began rolling AJ to the operating room and Beca lost it. Derek tried to calm her down but he couldn't stand it. He didn't know what to do as Beca lost her mind, screaming and crying as she watched her son get whisked away. He began to panic with her until Jesse came to the rescue.

"Bec," he tried for attention. "Becs." He tried again but she continued screaming. "Beca." He grabbed her arm but she pulled away and continued. "Rebeca!" She stopped screaming and looked at him. "Come here." He held his arms open and she fell into them. She buried her face into his chest as he buried his into her hair and they dropped to the ground and cried together.

"Mrs. Swanson, please just calm down." Chloe tried her best to calm AJ's grandmother down as she began freaking out over the phone.

"Yes, he's in surgery now ma'am...Uh, they're pretty hysterical...She is a mess, Jesse's managed to calm her down...They're still crying...Great, see ya in 10... Bye." Chloe sighed in relief as she ended the call. She massaged her temple a little before dialing another number.

"Here, let me call Dr. Mitchell. You just get some rest." Luke said as he pulled Chloe's phone from her hand. "Thanks honey." She said with a grateful smile before snuggling into his chest. He played with her hair and she slowly dozed off as he dealt with Dr. Mitchell.

Its been two hours and they still haven't heard from the doctor about AJ. Mr. and Mrs. Swanson and Dr. Mitchell showed up and they're now sitting in wait with the rest of them. Tears are still quietly falling down Beca's face as she paces around the room. Jesse is sitting in a chair just watching her, everyone is completely silent.

"Beca, please stop pacing. You're making me even more anxious." Jesse said.

"What else am I supposed to do? I'm so scared."

"I know but you gotta think bright." She just sarcastically laughed and continued pacing. "Beca," Jesse grabbed her hand and pulled her toward him. She landed lightly in his lap and he held her in a tight embrace. She didn't protest as she buried her face in his neck and let him hold her.

"I'm glad you're here, Jess." She mumbled into his neck. He didn't say anything, he just gently rubbed her back as she laid in his arms.

Maddy watched him, her eyes narrowed. She doesn't trust those two. She knows about their past, about how they couldn't resist each other. She doesn't want that to happen again. She doesn't want to lose Jesse, but she knows it's possible. She knows that Beca could steal him right back if she really wanted to, and she really hoped she didn't want to.

Derek, on the other hand, knows the chances of his girl being stolen by Jesse. He knows that Jesse doesn't have to do anything and Beca will be his again. But he trusts Beca. She gave him her loyalty and he needs to return it. He's fighting the jealousy but he can feel that little green monster desperately wanting to escape from the depths of him.

"Hey Jess, can I talk to Beca?" Maddy asked her boyfriend. Beca was still in his lap and Maddy just had to reassure herself. "Alone?"

"Um, sure. I'm gonna get some coffee, you two want any?" He asked as Beca slowly climbed off of his lap. Maddy politely declined and Beca took his offer. "Same as always?" He asked. Beca just nodded and, after a quick peck to Maddy's cheek, Jesse was off.

Beca sat in the seat Jesse vacated and Maddy sat in the seat next to her. It was quiet for a moment before Maddy began to speak. "So I'm finally talking to the infamous Rebeca."

"Ew, just Beca. So you've heard of me?" Beca asked with a small smile. "Of course, he couldn't not tell me that he has a son with a very attractive ex fiancé."

"Hope we didn't cause you too much trouble."

"Nah, it's not a big deal. But there is one thing." Beca looked at Maddy, giving her the motion to continue. "Do you want him back?"

"What?" Beca was shocked by the abrupt question. "No. I love Derek."

"I know its a random question but you two are just so close. You're so comfortable with each other. It kind of scares me, you know?"

"Yeah, I understand. Look Maddy, we're going to be close because we were together for a big part of our lives and we have a son together, but you don't have to worry about anything."

"I know, its just, you were his first real love and you have his child. If he were to change his mind, I wouldn't stand a chance against you."

"Maddy, Jesse and I are over. We ended it months ago and we have moved on. We're just friends, nothing more. I give you my word, Maddy. Jesse Alexander Swanson is your man, all yours, and I won't try to take him. I promise."

Maddy smiled and hugged Beca. "Thank you, Beca." She said as she squeezed Beca. "No problem. But Maddy,"

"Hm?"

"Call me Rebeca again, and I just might have to break this promise." Maddy chuckled a little. "Sorry." She apologized. "I see you've become bffs." Jesse said as he returned with the coffees. "Yeah, you've got yourself a pretty good girl here, Jess."

"I do, don't I?" Jesse handed Beca her coffee before pulling Maddy into a long passionate kiss. Beca watched them with a smile on her face but she could feel that small twist in her gut as she instinctively thought,

Thatshouldbeme.

YetAnotherHour Later~

Beca is still sitting with Jesse, her head laying on his shoulder. He leaned his head against hers and they continue their long wait.

"You know, Derek confronted me earlier, about you." Jesse said loud enough for only Beca to hear.

"What did he say?"

"He just wanted to make sure I love Maddy and I'm not going to take you from him."

"I had the same conversation with Maddy."

"Really?" He asked, feeling a little hurt. "Do they not trust us or something?"

"I think they're just worried. We were in love for years and we still have a very strong bond. They're just nervous."

"I wish we can make them see that we have moved on and we aren't gonna go bang in a broom closet somewhere." Beca just chuckled and buried her face into his neck.

There was nothing else that needed to be said. They both new they had to convince their significant others that they love them, though deep down they know the truth.

"Um, Andrew Swanson's parents?" Beca and Jesse immediately jumped to their feet, so did their family and friends. "Just the parents please." The doctor added.

"That's us." Jesse said as he absentmindedly laced his fingers in Beca's. She was to anxious to notice as she led Jesse to the doctor. Everyone else sat back down as Beca and Jesse followed the doctor out of sight.

"God, I wish they'd hurry." Mrs. Swanson said as she wrung her hands together. "I know, its okay honey. Beca and Jesse need to know first, though. Give them a minute." Mrs. Swanson began to cry and Chloe came to her side.
"Hey Mrs. Swanson, don't worry. AJ is just as stubborn as his mom, he'll beat this."

"Oh thank you, Chloe. You were always sweet! If my Jesse wouldn't have found that Beca I swear you two would be perfect." She said as she wrapped Chloe in her arms.

"Thanks Mrs. Swanson, but I've found my man."

"That's right, congratulations on your engagement sweety."

"Thank you, Mrs. Swanson."

Jesse kept his hand laced with Beca's as the doctor gave them the news. Her grip on his hand got tighter as the doctor came closer and closer to telling them the state their son is in.

"His stomach was in bad shape and he should've been here sooner. The rupture was huge and took a lot of doctors to operate. I am sorry it took so long, but with the size, we couldn't go any faster."

"Okay that's great doc. Now can you please tell us how he is before his mother amputates my hand?" The doctor took a minute to chuckle before looking up into the eyes of two worried parents.

"Mr. Swanson and Ms. Mitchell, I need you to please stay calm until I have finished speaking." They nodded and anxiously awaited the doctor's response.

"Your son is..."
