YAY! I'm up at, like, one in the morning and still writing. Disclaimer: I don't own Victorious.

"MOMMY, LOOK WHAT I MADE!"

Max launched himself into Jade's car, closely followed by James who was screaming, "MOMMY, I CAN COUNT TO FIVE!"

Jade clapped her hands over her ears and said jokingly, "Calm down boys, Mommy needs to be able to hear."

The boys settled down and as Jade pulled away from the curb of their school pick up loop, she said, "Alright, Max, you were in the car first. What'd you make today?"

"Miss. Lipsky showed me how to color inside the lines. Look!"

"Baby, I can't look now. I need to focus on the road. I'll look at it when we get home, alright?" Max nodded his head vigorously.

"Alright, James, your turn."

"Mrs. Crudo taught me how to count to five. One, two, three, four, five! See, Mommy?"

"Good job James! …Alright, who wants a snack?"

"ME!" "No, ME MOMMY, I WANT A SNACK!"

"Nu uh, James."

"Uh huh, Maxie."

"Nu uh."

"Uh huh."

Jade smirked and said calmly, "Don't worry, boys. You both are getting snacks."

When they came to a red light, she said, "Alright boys, I need you to watch the light and tell me when it turns green." They nodded and she turned around to hand them their respective snacks.

Just as she was turning around, James said, "It's green, Mommy!"

"Thank you baby. …Who wants to surprise Daddy at work?"

"Alright everyone, that's a wrap! Great job, great job. I'll see you all on Monday." Beck said goodbye to his costars and walked down to his dressing room. When he opened the door, he was slammed into by two forty pound cannonballs.

"DADDY!"

Jade looked up from her magazine and asked, "Are you ready to go? We've been waiting for forever."

"Well, hello to you too. Boys, has Mommy been cranky all day?"

James sent a furtive look back at his mother and said, "No…"

Max, however, said, "Sinced we gots here."

Beck ruffled his sons' hair and said, "Alright then."

He turned back to Jade and said, "Yeah, I'm ready to go."

He held the door open for the boys to dash out and as Jade passed him, he caught her arm and reeled her in. He gave her a chaste kiss and asked, "What's got your tail twisted today, kitten?"

Jade growled, "Call me kitten again, I dare you."

"I don't think I will. Seriously though, what's-"

He was cut off by Max running in and shrieking, "JAMES HITTED ME!" Jade took that as her moment to escape.

She moved to mediate and Beck told her, "We'll talk at home."

"Whatever, Beckham."

Later that night, when the boys were asleep, Jade said into the dark, "I thought I was pregnant."

Beck rolled over to face her. "What?"

"I was wrong, though. I was late because of stress, not pregnancy."

"…Did you want to be pregnant?" Jade groaned.

"I don't know. I want to start auditioning again, but I…"

"You miss having a baby."

"Yeah. Pretty much."

Oh my God, it's, like, almost angsty. I was planning on keeping this series light and fluffy, but this one installment deviated from the path. Anyway, reviews are my drug of choice. In this instance, it's alright to be an enabler...
