There was almost an unsaid agreement between Beca and Chloe that they wouldn't wait long after getting married to have children, for both of them it was a nonnegotiable staple in their futures. So this is how Beca found herself reading a baby book in the studio at one of the rare moments where her client was running late. She jumped and blushed when the door swung open and Jay-Z walked in, smiling holding up a basket.
"I brought food, thus why I'm late. Wife wouldn't let me walk out without feeding you, something about trying to kick starting your growth again." The tall man smirked and Beca chuckled and shot him a mock glare.
"There is nothing wrong with my height." She declared putting both hands on her hips.
"My dog could use your head as a head rest… while standing." He said hugging her, they had worked together many times before and they both considered the other family now. "What are you reading?" He asked grabbing the book from the soundboard, Beca tried to stop him but didn't move quick enough.
"It's just light…"
"What To Expect When You're Expecting." He said and looked down at Beca's midsection. "So wife's expecting huh?" He smiled and Beca bit her lip, they hadn't told anyone yet, they wanted to get out of the first trimester first.
"Yeah." She shrugged and jumped when she was picked up in a huge hug.
"Congratulations! Thank god someone normal is having kids, Blue needs someone normal to be around." Jay-Z said and put Beca back down. "Now let's get to work shall we?" Beca shook her head trying to figure out what happened as the man walked out of the room, shrugging she looked in the basket and found the blueberry banana muffins that she loved.

Beca barely contained her excitement when she got home, she ran over to the couch where Chloe was sitting and jumped in the spot next to her, dropped the basket of food on the ground.
"Guess what?" She said bouncing up and down.
"Hmmm?" Chloe asked looking over at her wife.
"Jay-Z was in the studio today," Chloe nodded, Beca had talked nonstop about the man all week. "We did a track today, laid the whole thing out, it was amazing. He made it the title track and he invited us out to dinner with his family." Chloe smiled and kissed Beca, she was excited for her wife.
"That's amazing."
"Better news, Beyonce made those awesome cranberry orange scones you love." Beca said grabbing one from the basket, Chloe jumped on her taking a bite as she laid on top of Beca still, she couldn't hold back the moan of appreciation.
"We need this damn recipe." Chloe said resting her head on Beca's collarbone as they laid down on the couch, Beca put her hands behind her head smiling. Her life was turning out pretty damn great.

The next morning Chloe joined Beca at the studio, her boss had given her the day off for her appointment at the doctors to check the progress of the baby. Finally they were out of the first trimester, so the couple spent the rest of the time waiting for Jay-Z, planning how they would tell people. Soon the door opened and Jay-Z walked in carrying a huge gift wrapped box, both women stared at him, jaws dropped to the ground.
"What is that?" Chloe asked.
"A gift, for little Mitchell-Beale, of course." He said grinning and Beca went wide eyed, she forgot to tell Chloe that the man knew.
"Oh really?" Chloe said and Beca knew from the tone of voice that she was in trouble. The redhead walked over to Jay-Z hugging him, "Thank you."
"Any time Red." He chuckled and stepped aside so Chloe could unwrap the gift. He had bought them a car seat. "I remember trying to make sure we had everything right before Blue was born, but the one thing I forgot to make sure we took… the car seat. So since I know how Beca can be I decided to save her the trouble. That is the best of the best on the market, this thing will make it through a nuclear war." Chloe had tears spring to her eyes and she forcefully hugged the man again, Beca sat there smiling at the two of them.
"You don't know how much this means." Chloe said and Jay-Z laughed.
"Oh trust me, I do. The minute I held my baby girl in my arms and I saw how fragile she was, being a parent is my greatest accomplishment." The man beamed and Beca nodded, she was excited to become a parent. "Oh and Becs," He grabbed another gift, she gave him a look and unwrapped it, it was a guide on the stores and restaurants in their living area and The Mother of All Pregnancy Books.
"What?" She looked up at him, holding up the guide.
"Oh trust me, you'll need it, at like 2 am and 9 am. When she wants deep fried pickles and Mexican ice cream."
"Oh dear god…" Beca sighed resting her head on the soundboard, Chloe chuckled and kissed Beca's temple.
"It'll all be worth it though, promise. The other is the best baby book I've ever read, it has everything. I swear amazing." The man said, smiling, he pulled his phone out. "Here I'll show you, why it's worth it." He said and started flipping through the hundreds of photos he had.

Beca wasn't sure what to expect when they went to go tell Aubrey that Chloe was expecting, it definitely wasn't what happened.
"Oh I know." Aubrey smiled her head falling to the side. "Chloe never makes it through Titanic without bawling like a baby, we watched it two weeks ago and I think her eyes were Sahara desert dry. I nearly went to find eye drops for you." Beca just sat there jaw dropped.
"You knew and didn't say anything? That is so un-Aubrey like!" Beca exclaimed and Aubrey chuckled.
"Oh trust me Beca, if you and Chloe had wanted me to know before today, you would've said so, and I knew there was a reason so I didn't push it." Beca wasn't sure her jaw could fall any further but she knows it did.
"Babe… close your mouth you could catch birds." Chloe said, her arms draped over the smaller woman.
"This is going so easily, alright who is gonna have a heart attack when we tell them?" Beca asked making the two women chuckle.
"My money, is on your mother." Aubrey said and Chloe nodded.
"No way, Shelia for sure." Chloe said.
"Oh my god, my money is on Rich, he'll be so excited it'll kill him." Beca smiled, kissing Chloe.

Thankfully by the end of their second trimester everyone had heard about the baby, and that it was a boy, to be named Owen, and no one had a heart attack. Rich however kept sending 'Best Grandpa' onesies every time he found a new one, they had almost two dozen before Warren heard about it and started buying them too, it was now a huge competition between the men. Shelia had enlisted the help of Aubrey and Mrs. Beale to throw a baby shower that was just around the corner. Beca was currently at her father's helping Shelia with planning things for Chloe.
"Have you talked to your mother lately?" Shelia asked looking up at Beca.
"No, we called and told her that she had a grandbaby on the way but she hung up, so I called and told Rich, hence the onesie buying Dad is consumed with right now."
"Is that what that is all about? I tried buying an adorable little white one the other day with big black headphones on it but he said he didn't like it." Shelia said and Beca barked out a laugh.
"No according to both Grandfather's all onesies Owen will be in must have the words grandpa on them. Chloe found one that says 'My grandpas drool more than me'. It'll be little Owen's first trip to grandpa's house clothes by the way."
"I'll have to remember this."
"We also found, 'I have two kick butt grandma's'." Beca smiled and Shelia grinned back.
"So tell me, why did you guys want to announce his name so early?"
"Well we really didn't but Aubrey didn't give us a choice, she wants to incorporate his name into her gift." Beca said picking at the piece of paper in front of her. "She said her daddy had a gun so yeah."
"I did no such thing!" Aubrey yelled as she walked into the house with Chloe. Chloe walked by Beca kissing the top of her head as she took the seat next to her. "Now are we going to hammer out these last details or what?"
"Aubrey why do you always have to rush to finish things?"
"Because if you haven't noticed Chloe you're about to pop, and little Owen there isn't going to wait." Aubrey said smiling at her friend, the next few hours were filled with talk of the baby shower to come.

Chloe never thought Beca would be the kind of person to come home after work and lay down on the bed next to her pregnant belly and talk to it but she found herself in just that situation every night. It was the same every night, they'd finish dinner and sit down to watch tv for awhile, then one of them would suggest sleep and they'd lock up before heading up to bed. Some nights Beca would wrap her arms tightly around Chloe talking softly about all the amazing plans she had for Owen and their family, other times she would crawl down the bed and lift Chloe's shirt exposing her stomach, as if she was looking right at him. Some days Beca would go grab her headphones and rest them on her stomach to let their son hear her latest music, or she'd read him a book, no matter what she always from the day they found he was there with them, talk to him. Today was no different, Beca was laying on the bed her head tucked next to Chloe's stomach, hand on top of it clasped in Chloe's hand as she told their son about the amazing family he was about to be brought into.
"Your grandpa Rich called today and sent us a package, again, of a new outfit for you and a little baseball bat, one that you will not be getting till you know what to and not to hit. He also got you a ball cap from the Red wings, which you will wear for every game till you out grow it and I must buy you a new one. Grandpa Warren and grandma Shelia bought you a new baby swing, which he will have to come over and help me put together, I'll put your cousin Adrianna in it first to make sure it's safe enough for you." Beca said and earned a smack on the shoulder from Chloe, she just smiled and chuckled. "Apparently your mom doesn't feel that is a nice idea, we just won't tell her about it then." Beca smirked kissing Chloe's stomach. "Owen you are so loved already and you don't even realize it yet. Even Aspen and Mabel are looking out for you," Beca looked up at her dogs, Mabel was tucked up by Chloe's shoulders and Aspen was along the other side of Chloe, her nose resting against her side right by her stomach. "Personally I wouldn't have it any other way. Goodnight sweet one." She gently kissed Chloe's stomach once more before tucking her wife's shirt back down and crawling up to kiss her.
"You're my tiny softy I hope you know this." Chloe said lying on her side as Beca spooned her from behind.
"I'm perfectly fine with that now, with everything I have in my life. I'm perfectly fine with it." Beca said kissing her wife's shoulder. "I love you Chloe, and you too Owen."
