Jade sat on Beck's couch as she fed Andre and Trina. The other three babies were asleep in Beck's bed.

Beck: I talked to my publicist today, and she told me about Really Famous magazine's interest in doing a spread on me.

Jade: Okay, I really don't care Beck. You do spreads all the time.

Beck: Yeah but, this one's different.

Jade: Different how?

Beck: They want to do a cover story on the babies.

Jade shook her head at Beck.

Jade: Not happening. We are not promoting our babies so they could be part of some stupid Hollywood category.

Beck: I won't do the shoot, I was checking with you first.

Jade: Can you burp Trina? I think she's done.

Beck: Sure.

Beck walked over to Jade and gentle grabbed Trina off her before sitting down burping her.

Jade: You're not upset at my decision are you?

Beck: No. I respect your decision.

Jade: We didn't have babies to show them off to the world.

Beck: I agree. Keep my private life, private, away from my work.

Jade: Good boy.

Beck: So, I was thinking, after we put these two to bed, want me to cook some dinner?

Jade: No, I'm leaving after we put them to bed.

Beck: I just want to talk to you, everything we talk about doesn't have to be baby related you know.

Jade: No. I'm good. I'll go home and eat.

The next morning:

Ben: Come on bro, why?

Beck: Because Jade doesn't want to show off the babies.

Ben: Jade is not in any legal position to make decisions for the babies.

Beck: So Ben, she's still their mother and I agree with her.

Ben: Don't you know how much a picture of them is worth?

Beck: I don't care how much it's worth.

Beck walked to the living room Ben followed, they stood in front of the sleeping babies in their bouncers.

Beck: I'm going to take a shower before Jade gets here. Think you can handle watching them?

Ben: Of course bro, I got my own kid.

Beck: That's why I'm afraid. Don't touch them, don't hold them, and most importantly don't wake them.

Ben: Alright bro, go shower.

Beck gave Ben a serious look before walking away to his bedroom. Ben scoffed looking at the babies.

Ben: Why are you so important?

Ben stared at the babies as a smile formed across his face.

Ben: Maybe you babies aren't so bad after all.

Ben smiled wide as he took out his phone.

Ben: You are going to make Uncle Ben some good money. Yes you are, oh yes you are.

A couple days later, Jade was grocery shopping with Jenny.

Jenny: Come on Jade, please?

Jade: No.

Jenny: But why?

Jade: I don't want to spend my day getting sweaty and gross.

Jenny: But running is fun and it keeps you active.

Jade: Doesn't look like it's working for you.

Jenny gasped as Jade rolled her eyes.

Jenny: How are things going with Beck?

Jade: Awkward, awkward, and oh, awkward.

Jenny: I can't believe the two of you-

Jade: Can we not talk about Beck?

Jenny: Sorry. Bananas?

Jenny held up bananas, Jade nodded.

Jade: I can make smoothies for lunch instead of eating.

Jenny: What do you mean instead of eating? You're eating aren't you?

Jade: (sighs) Yes Jenny. I wouldn't be shopping for food if I wasn't.

Jenny: Just checking.

Jade: Let's get out of here. It's getting crowded.

Jenny: Maybe we can go running?

Jade: Yeah, and then we can jump off a cliff.

Jade and Jenny walked to a register and stood in line waiting.

Jenny: Well will you at least take me to Beck's so I can see the babies?

Jade: I already had my two hour visit today.

Jade looked ahead in line, something caught her eye. She walked up to a rack and picked up a magazine.

Jade and Beck's Quintuplets Finally Revealed.

Jade: I am going to kill him!

Jade stared at the magazine covered with a picture of her sleeping babies.
