I woke up this morning exhausted from waking up with Scarlett. Tessa was staying the night at my grandparent's house. They offered to take Ali too, but Jesse wanted Ali to come with us. Since Jesse's parents left yesterday to drive to New York, they haven't seen Scarlett yet. I was worried for Scarlett to fly because she is so little, but her pediatrician assured me she would be fine. Star slept on the flight, but Ali on the other hand was fussy because she has severe motion sickness. She cried and threw a fit. She also threw up a couple times before I decided to give her motion sickness medicine. After it had kicked in, she fell asleep in Aunt Bee's arms. Aubrey was stroking her head lightly in her sleep.
"Aubrey you are a miracle worker with her," I whispered to her.
"Well Jesse fell asleep on you, so I thought I'd help," she answered.
"Yeah. He loves flying because it makes him tired," I told her.
"Are you ready for the set?" Aubrey asked.
"I don't know. I'm scared to leave Scarlett with Jesse's parents while we perform. She's just so tiny," I confessed.
"She'll be fine. She'll sleep through it anyways and I'm sure that's a good thing," Aubrey said.
"I hope Ali sleeps through it too. She definitely does not need to see how her Mommy, Aunt Aubrey, and the rest of her aca-aunts are going to dress," I said while laughing
"How did you lose the baby weight so fast? Tell me your secret," Aubrey demanded.
"Well I didn't have much to begin with, and I run every morning with Ali in her stroller. I maybe gained fifteen pounds during my pregnancy. Just enough to fashion a small bump for like a month," I said.
"True true," Aubrey agreed.
"We're landing about to land miss so you need to buckle the child in," a flight attendant said to Aubrey.
Aubrey tried to set Ali up the best she could in the seat next to her. The seats went like this: Jesse by the window, Scarlett in the middle, Me on the outside. Then there was an isle. Aubrey was on the outside, then Ali, and Stacie was next to the window.
Just as the landing gears were going out Scarlett woke up. She whimpered before breaking into a full blown cry. I knew I wouldn't be aloud to get her out of her car seat, so I tried to soothe her the best I could while she was still in her car seat. I tried her pacifier, but I kind of already knew that wasn't going to work. She was hungry, but I can't just feed her on the plane. I try singing. Of course I pick the song that's stuck in my head. I start singing Don't You. Jesse joins me about half way through. Star stops crying to listen to us sing for her.
"Don't you forget about me," Jesse sings.
"I'll be alone dancing you know it baby," I return.
"Tell me your troubles and doubts," he croons.
"Giving me everything inside and out," I sing.
"Don't you forget about me," we finish together.
Scarlett looks up at us. She stayed happy long enough for us to exit the plane and get on our rental bus. Ali wants to sit by Chloe on the bus, and I can tell Aubrey is a little sad about that. I sat by Jesse, and we just put Scarlett's car seat in the row in front of us.
"Jesse can you hand me that blanket?" I ask him.
"Sure babe," he answered.
I threw the blanket over my shoulder and over Scarlett's tiny head. I began to nurse her on the back of the bus.
"Gross," remarks Uni.
"Totally," agreed Donald.
"Shut up assholes," I told them.
"Tut up asdoles," Ali repeated.
"Alison Harmony Piper," I scolded.
"Sowwy Mommy," she said.
"Damn she's repeating me now," I whispered to Jesse.
"Really?" he asked.
"Yup. It's just fan-fucking-tastic," I told him.
"Okay we're getting you a swear jar," he said.
"Fine. I'm just gonna get all my cussing out before we get it," I proposed.
"Like that's gonna work," he told me.
"You're right you know that. And we aren't getting a swear jar," I said sternly.
"Beca, you just used your mom voice on me," he laughed.
"Fuck you Jesse," I told him, and then proceeded to flip him off.
"It's still gross," Donald said.
"Stacie can you slap him? I would, but I'm too busy being gross," I said pissed.
"Okay," Stacie said, then slapping him in the shoulder.
"Quit making fun of Beca," Aubrey added in.
"Yeah. She can't help that she's gross," Chloe said.
"Thanks Chloe," I said.
"That's not what I meant Beca," she said concerned.
"Oh I know I just like to give you shit," I told her.
"We're all just lucky Scarlett likes Beca's titty milk, or else she would still be in the hospital and we'd be down a Bella and you'd be down a treble," Aubrey said.
"Can we please just stop talking about my tits? My three year old is right there," I said concerned that Ali would repeat any of them.
"Okay," they all agreed.
"Thank you," I said.
When we got to Lincoln Center, I took Scarlett and Ali back to the Bella's dressing room with me. As I waited for Jesse's parents to come and get them, John and Gail came around to our dressing room.
"I've heard the a capella baby is in here," Gail said excitedly.
"Hear that Star? You're the a capella baby," I said to my daughter as she sat in her car seat.
"May I see her?" Gail asked me.
"Sure," I said as I turned the car seat to face Gail.
"So tiny," John said.
"I get that alot. I also get a,"She inherited your height," with it sometimes," I said while I shot daggers at Aubrey. Aubrey lifted Ali from her lap and set her down.
"Mommy, Mommy, look what Aunt Bee gave me," Ali shouted. A crimson shade creeped up my cheeks. Just then Kris walked in.
"Where's my grandbabies?" Kris asked when she walked in.
"Thanks again for taking them," I said as I pushed past Gail and John. "There's some extra milk in Scarlett's diaper bag for her if she wants it. She should be fine though. It's almost her nap time, and she should sleep through the performances," I gushed.
"I get it Beca. You're worried about her. Don't worry I won't let anything happen to her," Kris assured me.
"Thank you," I told Kris. I bent down to Ali's height. "Be good for Gammie baby," I told her.
"I will mommy," she told me. I kissed her on the cheek and sent her on her way with Kris.
"Well that was interesting," remarked John.
"Alright. Can you two leave so we can change please?" Aubrey asked them. Instead of speaking they just left.
Chloe insisted on having an all miley cyrus themed performance right down to the costumes. She dressed Aubrey in her teddy bear outfit. Chloe herself was in the tight white pants and cut off shirt from the we can't stop video. Stacie was wearing the dope outfit. Fat amy was wearing the large fur coat and I unfortunately got stuck with the skin colored latex outfit. Fuck my life. I just hope my but doesn't hang out one side like hers did.
We walked down the hallway to the stage. We were the second to last to perform. The trebles being the last. We walked out on stage and the girls started doing back up vocals for adore you.

Baby baby

It's our party we can love who we want
We can kiss who we want

Red cups and sweaty bodies everywhere
Hands in the air like we don't care
Cause we came to have so much fun now
Bet somebody here might get some nowIf you're not ready to go home
Can I get a hell no
Cause we gonna go all
All the way in the back with a tree on my lap
All the boys like to ask me 'what you doing with that?'
You, you, you say you love me, I ain't fooling with that
They ask me how I keep a man, I keep a battery pack
One day he wants me, one day he wants me not
I don't do chances, cause time just ain't what I got
If he's like that, I got a world tour that they need me at
I can't be sitting 'round here waiting on a man
To tell me where the fuck my seat be at, where Mike Will at?
Bangerz (bangerz), I be strutting my stuff
Bangerz (bangerz), fucking bangerz (bangerz)
Bangerz (bangerz), I be strutting my stuff
Bangerz (bangerz), I be strutting my stuff
I'm flying high up on a bird like a phobiac
My slick quarter, eye down my purse, where the dollars at?
Money ain't nothing but money when you get to the money it ain't nothing but money
Love ain't nothing but love when you learn how to love ain't nothing but love
Party ain't nothing but a party when you party every day it ain't nothing but a party
Love money party
Love money party
Love money party
Love money party
We want love money party
Yeahhhh
I feel a surge coming over me
I feel it all around my thighs
And chills going up my legs
This is the worst coming out of me
When I can't, felt like I could die
And it sends chills up my spine
You're sexy sexy
I got things I want to do to you
Make me make me
Make my tongue just go do-do-do
Flex it, flex it
Flex your muscles, and go through the roof
Arrest it rest it, cause it's just criminal
I been laying in this bed all night long
Don't you think it's time to get it on
But we gotta get it right, we can't get it wrong
Don't you want to feel this fire before it's gone
Yeah...
I feel the thirst pouring out of me
For things that I wanna try
That echoes in my head
This is the first time I get to see
Things I've never seen in my life
Yeah...
You make flowers grow under my bed
Yeah
You're sexy sexy
I got things I want to do to you
Make me make me
Make my tongue just go do-do-do
Flex it, flex it
Flex your muscles, and go through the roof
Arrest it rest it, cause it's just criminal
I been laying in this bed
(This bed)
All night long
(All night long)
Don't you think it's time to get it on
But we gotta get it right,
(It right)
We can't get it wrong
(Can't get it wrong)
Don't you want to feel this fire before it's gone
Yeah
Do you feel me?
Oh
I thought so
I just oh...
Sometimes you just wanna...
Be naughty
I feel so alone when you were gone
Feeling right back home when I'm in your arms
You played my strings like my guitar
When I look in your eyes I see all the stars
Would you believe
I'm dancing in the mirror
(Dancing in the mirror)
I feel like I got no panties on
I wish that I could feel ya
(Wish that I could feel ya)
So hurry, hang up that damn phone
I been laying in this bed
(This bed)
All night long
(All night long)
Don't you think it's time to get it on
But we gotta get it right, we can't get it wrong
Don't you want to feel this fire before it's gone
Yeah...
On and on, and make it last forever
What you want all day
Just as long as it's you and I together
Babe don't make me wait
Don't make me wait...
Don't make me wait...
We finished and I could tell all my suggestive dance moves had made Jesse bothered. We entered the audience, and I walked back to where Kris was sitting and took Scarlett. I walked back to my Bellas and sat down. Scarlet made a fuss to be held so I picked her up and held her on my lap. I kissed her little head just as the trebles came on stage and started the vocals (this song all the lead vocals are Jesse). I noticed the tune immediately. It was the melody for Hey There Delilah.
Hey there Beca what's it like from where your sitting?
I'm a thousand feet away and tonight you look so pretty yes you do
Times Square can't shine as bright as you
I swear it's true
Hey there Beca don't you worry about the baby
I'm right here if you're ever lonely give this song another listen
Close your eyes, listen to my voice it's my disguise
I'm by your side.
Oh I hope you marry me
Oh I hope you marry me
Oh I hope you marry me
Oh I hope you marry me
Marry me
Marry me
Hey there Beca, I know times are getting hard
But just believe me girl, someday I'll pay the bills with my guitar
We'll have it good, we have the life we knew we would
My word is good
Hey there Beca, I've got so much left to say
Every simple song I wrote for you took your breath away, I'll write some more
Even more in love with me you'll fall
We'll have it all
Oh I hope you marry me
Oh I hope you marry me
Oh I hope you marry me
Oh I hope you marry me
I hope you marry me
Two children seems like a lot, but we've got another shot at having more some day
Our friends sometimes make fun of us and we just laugh along because we know that none of them have felt this way
Beca I can promise you that by the time that the ceremonies through the world will never ever be the same and you're to blame
Hey there Beca be a good girl and don't you miss me
Two more verses and I'll be done and we'll be making history like we do
Children and marriage to name a few
We can do whatever we want to
Hey there Beca here's to you
This one's for you
Oh I hope you marry me
Oh I hope you marry me
Oh I hope you marry me
Oh I hope you marry me
Marry me
Marry me.
When he finished he was on one knee right next to me.
"Rebecca Arietta Greene, will you marry me?" he asked.
"Yes. Of course I will Jesse," I answered.
He slid the ring on my finger, and I gently passed Scarlett to Aubrey. Jesse pulled me in for a kiss and I gladly excepted. I broke the kiss for air a few times. As we finished kissing, I leaned down to pick up Scarlett, but Jesse picked her up first. That's when I noticed her outfit. She was wearing a pretty white dress with music notes and a staff covering it. He rocked her from side to side to keep her happy. All the Bellas moved down a seat to make room for Jesse at the end of the row. I sat down, and so did he. I leaned over and kissed him on the cheek.
"What was that for?" he asked.
"For looking super sexy while holding a baby," I answered.
"Nice way to get me all riled up before I could propose Beca. Singing about having sex with me. Good one soon to be Mrs. Swanson," he added.
"I love that you changed the lyrics to one of my favorite songs my sexy fiance," I told him.
"It sure won you over."
