DECEMBER 2020

Jade and Cat sat at the kitchen table while Kady colored at the other end.

"So, when do you leave, Jadey?" Cat takes a sip of her coffee while looking at her best friend.

"In a few days, I leave the day after Beck gets home,"

"Mama!" Jade looks over to her daughter, who is holding up her picture, "it's you, me, and Daddy,"

"It's beautiful, Kadydid,"

"Do you think Daddy will like it?"

"I bet he'll love it, and you can draw one for me while I'm away,"

"Do you have to go?" Kady's drawing suddenly becomes a little sadder.

"You know Mommy has to go to work, baby, and I can't take you with me,"

"Why?"

"Cause like Daddy, Mommy is going to be busy on set and working a really long time, and there will be those mean cameraman that Mommy tells you to avoid,"

"But what if I wanna be in movies like you and Daddy?" Jade looks at Cat with wide eyes and then back at Kady's tear-filled eyes.

"Do you want to be?" Kady climbs off her chair and over to Jade's lap.

"If it means I get to spend more time with you and Daddy,"

"I mean being an actor is a big commitment,"

"It's okay," Kady kisses Jade's cheek, "you're worth it, Mommy."

"Well," Jade looks at Cat with a smile, "they haven't cast the little girl that supposed to be the younger me, yet. Can you watch her while I make some calls?"

"Of course!" Jade smiled at her best friend before dialing her husband's number to talk with him about the situation, but personally, they both knew this was going to happen one day.

JANUARY 2022

Jade wretched into the toilet for the fifth morning in a row.

"I hate this," Beck laughed as Jade flushed. Beck handed her some ginger tea that she weakly smiled at, "thank you."

"This is the fifth day in a row. I'm taking you to the doctor,"

"Nooooo," Jade pouted from the floor.

"Nope," Beck helps her up, "you and I are going to the doctor while Kady is at school."

"I think you are overreacting," Jade flopped down on the table as the nurse left the room.

"I think you are underreacting," Beck takes her hand.

"It's just the flu,"

"Without sneezing or a fever,"

"It's a special flu," Beck rolls his eyes.

"You're a special flu." The two have small talk for the next twenty minutes while they wait on the blood work, and the nurse gently knocks on the door.

"Hey, there you two,"

"Can you just tell him that he is overreacting, please?" Jade motions to Beck.

"Well, both of you are wrong," the nurse smiles sweetly before handing them the file, "congratulations you two." Jade and Beck's eyes go wide.

"What?" They both say in unison.

"You're pregnant, Missus Oliver, we'll set up an ultrasound to get a better picture of when this little one is coming. Again, congrats you two, if you have any questions just give us a call." With one last smile, the nurse left. Beck and Jade look down at the file, and Beck's face splits into a grin while Jade's hand drifts down to her flat stomach.

"A baby." Beck's hand covers hers.

"A baby."

SEPTEMBER 27, 2022

"Uncle André!" Kady runs down the hall into André's arms. André scoops the eight-year-old into his arms.

"Hey there, Kady girl, you excited?"

"Yea, Alivia is coming. Did you know I'm gonna be a big sister, now?"

"I see that," André gestures down to Kady's Big Sister shirt, "and you're gonna be the best big sister to Alivia,"

"Nani and Aunt Kitty Cat have been playing with me since Mommy won't Daddy leave the hospital room,"

"Seem about right, your mom barely let your dad leave when you were coming,"

"Mommy keeps yelling about how if he leaves, she will cut his…" André watches Kady try to search for words until it clicks in her head, "Oh! She said she was going to cut off his…"

"Anyway! Let's go see everyone." André quickly cuts his goddaughter off as he carries Kady down the hall to the waiting room.

"Hey André," Cat hugged her friend as Kady wiggled out of his arms, "glad you could get here,"

"Quick plane ride from Atlanta. So, what's the update on our girl?"

"10 hours in about 8 centimeters, so hopefully soon! Beck is keeping us updated"

"Our other girl?"

"Jade is not handling the pain well this time around," André laughs at the notion of Jade not being okay with pain.

"Well, there's always times for firsts." Suddenly, Robin comes in with a smile.

"What's up, Missus Oliver?"

"She's on her way. Jade's pushing." Cat lets out a squeal and squeezes André's arm.

Kady holds Beck's hand tightly as the head down the hall. Kady looks at the door that they stop at and goes to push it open, but Beck stops her. Beck kneels so he was at eye-level with his daughter.

"Now, Kady, we have to be super quiet,"

"'Cause Alivia is sleepin'?"

"No, because Alivia is very small and loud noises are scary. Everything is new for her, so it's a little overwhelming,"

"Okay, Daddy, I'll be super quiet." Beck kisses the top of her head before standing and gently opening the door. Kady peaks her head in to see Jade on the bed with a little bundle of blankets in her arms.

"Hey, Kady,"

"Hi Mommy," Kady whispers, hesitantly going into the room while looking between her parents.

"Go ahead. She's ready to meet you," Kady goes up to the bed and Beck helps her up.

"Meet your little sister, butterfly." Jade moves the blanket to reveal the baby's face.

"Hi, Alivia Divesha," Kady smiles down at the baby and caresses her face, "I'm your big sister. I can't wait to play with you, but until then I'll make sure no one says your name wrong because Mommy says that's important. I like that Mommy and Daddy didn't spell your name like the Olivia in my class because, to be honest, she's mean. You aren't though because I'm gonna be your big sister and make sure you don't turn out like her." Beck and Jade looked lovingly at their daughters before sharing a soft kiss.

BECK OLIVER: Watching Kady with Alivia is probably my favorite thing in the world #growing #KVADdynamicduo MOOD: Speechless

FEBRUARY 2026

"I, as the queen…" Kady gestures with her lightsaber towards the room while Alivia laughed at her sister's funny voice. The three-year-old had taken on more of Beck's features than her older sister with her slightly darker skin, dark brown eyes, she had his nose and smile, but she had a light brown hair color, which is the only thing that Jade swears that she inherited from her. Alivia's was Beck's through and through like there was no denying that Kady was Jade's.

"But I want to be queen, Kady!" Alivia grabs the lightsaber and Kady jerks it out of her hands causing the little one to stumble.

"You can't be,"

"Why not?!" Alivia tries to grab it again, but Kady holds it out of her reach.

"Because I'm older, Alivia!"

"That's a stupid reason," Jade flicks her eyes from her script.

"Alivia Divesha West-Oliver,"

"Ooooo," Kady points the saber at her little sister and starts laughing, "you're in trouble." Jade raises her eyebrow at her twelve-year-old.

"Kady Vivaan West-Oliver,"

"You in trouble, Kady!" Alivia and Kady stick their tongues out at each other. Jade sets the script down and stands up.

"Both of you. Come on, fun time is over. You have homework to do," Jade gestures to the kitchen table, "now sit,"

"This is your fault, Alivia," Kady put her hands on her hips and glared down at the nearly four-year-old. Jade suppresses a laugh because of how much Kady looks like her at the moment.

"Is not! I wanted to be the queen!"

"Is so! I'm older, so by monarch rules, I get to become queen,"

"That's a silly rule! You need to share!"

"It's both of your faults, but she has a point, Kady." She watches as both girls grab their book bags from beside the door.

"Not historically." Kady plops down in one of the chairs and Alivia makes to sit down next to her.

"Nope, other end of the table with you, Alivia Divesha," Kady and Alivia look at their mother with sadness in their eyes.

"But, Mommy," Alivia looks up at her with big brown eyes, holding her tiny backpack tight to her chest, "we always sit next to each other for homework time. How is Kady going to help me if I'm so far away?" Jade looks between the two girls.

"Plus, all her homework is numbers today. I always help her with her numbers." Between the two of them looking at her with their pleading eyes, Jade caves quickly.

"Fine, but one peep about something other than homework," Jade points at the two of them, "separate ends of the table. Got it?"

"Yes, ma'am." Jade watches as both girls settle in, pulling out papers and books, before turning back to her chair and script.

Jade looked up over her glasses from her reclined position against her headboard when she hears the door open.

"They're in bed already?" Beck smiles as his wife before walking over to kiss her.

"I mean Alivia was talking on and on about how she was going to dream of a kingdom that would allow two people to be queen, but what can I say?" Beck jumps over her to his side of the bed, "I have the magic touch." Beck moves to start kissing her neck.

"I think I'm pregnant," Beck's lips still.

"What?"

"I caved too quickly with the girls today,"

"So that means you're pregnant? Jade," Beck takes the script from its resting position on her knees and placed it on her nightstand, "you're on birth control, specifically, so that doesn't happen because, and I quote, 'if I get pregnant in this series, I don't think there will be a place to put it',"

"Birth control isn't one hundred percent effective, and it's not like we haven't been abstaining," Jade goes back to pick up the script, but Beck grabs her hand and places a kiss on it. They both look each with small smiles on their faces. Beck shifts so Jade can curl into him.

"But you put yourself specifically on this birth control because it has those things, whatever it's called, to make it harder to happen,"

"Are you telling me I'm wrong?" Beck rolled his eyes places a kiss into her hair.

"Have you even taken a test?"

"No, I just know,"

"I think you're crazy, but we can schedule an appointment if that will calm you."

"I am calm, Oliver." Beck warmly smiles at his wife when she turns to grab her script back up and thinks about the possible child growing inside of her.

OCTOBER 16th, 2026

"Happy Birthday, Jade!" Jade smiles at one of her co-stars as the whole crew gathers around a table with a cake.

"Aww, guys," Jade rests her hands on her expanded belly as she looks down at the chocolate cake in front of her covered in fruit and 'Happy Birthday Jade', "you shouldn't have,"

"For our vampire countess?" Jade looks at Gil, the main director, with a smile, "of course we did." Brady, one of the other actors on the show, quickly lit the 31 candles.

"My age is becoming a fire hazard," everyone laughed before joining into the singing of Happy Birthday. Jade smiled at the faces around her. She had been on 'Royalty' for two seasons now, coming in after the very successful third season, and she been having so much fun dressing in period clothing and dealing with a supernatural drama plus she got to help write and direct some of the episodes. Countess Vanessa von Elerson had quickly become a fan favorite, which Jade was over the moon about. However, when Beck and she had found out that they were expecting another baby, she was worried that the show wouldn't have a place for her anymore, but Gil and the writers had worked her pregnancy in beautifully.

"Make a wish, Jade!" Jade's reverie is broken by the excited glee of her co-workers. Jade smiles before taking a deep breath and blowing all the candles out.

"So, how much longer until we meet Eoghan?" Cynthia, another co-star who plays her sister, touches Jade's belly.

"Eoghan?" Jade and Cynthia turn to Mitchell one of the cameramen, who is shoving cake in his mouth, "I thought it was said like E-O-Gh-an,"

"Jade has a bad habit of naming her children with impossible to pronounce names," Jade laughs.

"Kady like Katy, Alivia like Olivia, and Eoghan like Owen. They aren't that impossible just different," Jade's face splits into a mischievous grin.

"You, Jade West-Oliver," Mitchell gestures to Jade with his fork, "are a cruel birthday girl."

"I try." Jade says with a wide smile while she turns back to Cynthia, "and to answer your question, a couple more weeks now. I got to be honest, I can't wait for this one to end,"

"Why's that?"

"Eoghan has not been an easy baby. I've had morning sickness throughout this whole thing which is miserable, he moves a lot, and he makes me crave their weirdest things. I'm just over it," Jade looks down at her belly, "I know every pregnancy is different but, man oh man, did I not enjoy this one," Cynthia laughs at her friend.

"Well, it's almost done and maybe it's because it's the Halloween spirit that he's a little devil,"

"That's just what I need, I already have Kady as my little demon, so the last thing I need is…" Jade feels a jolt and grabs her belly. Jade takes a deep breath while deciding whether it was just a kick until she feels a warm liquid seep down her pants leg.

"Jade?" Cynthia and Mitchell look at her with concern.

"I need someone to call Beck," Jade regains herself, "and I need someone to drive me to the hospital," the whole crew turns to the birthday girl.

"Why?"

"For one, my water just broke. Two, because I told you to. Any questions?"

Jade looks down at the little boy who is suckling happy at her breast with a smile, she gently pets his hat-covered head while humming softly.

"You stole my birthday, Eoghan Pranav, but thankfully I don't like celebrating my birthday much,"

"Your mother is going to make it a party for both of you," Beck gets up from his chair. Jade scoots over and makes room for him, however, the movement causes Eoghan to unlatch. "Hey, little man," Beck moves the little boy's head a tad and he quickly latches back onto the nipple, "don't let go of that. That's where all the good stuff is,"

"You're a child, Beck," Jade rolls her eyes at her husband, who lets out a laugh.

"Just trying to be helpful,"

"Happy to finally have a boy?" Jade looks up at Beck, who's hand joined hers on top of their son's head, his thumb caressing his tiny forehead.

"I'm happy he's healthy, but hell yea, I am. Teams can somewhat be fair now instead of three to one," Jade lets out a laugh, "now quick let's make another so we can have three v three,"

"I think we should enjoy the three we have,"

"Yea," Beck kisses Jade's hairline, "four is a lot,"

"Plus, all my pregnancies are getting grosser, and I don't want to know what a fourth one would be like." Beck chuckles.

"Probably terrible."

JADE WEST-OLIVER: He stole my birthday. He's lucky he's cute. #birthdaystealer #twotothreenow MOOD: A little fearful

MARCH 2028

Kady walked down her driveway dancing to the beat of the music that her AirPears were playing. She only had a few more months until she was done with her junior high career, and she was anxiously waiting to get into her number one choice of high school. Hollywood Arts. Where it all began. Now, she had a long list of credits from movies to duets with her Aunts Tori and Cat and lead songs for mixes with her Uncle André, but she wanted to make her own name. Her own start. So, every day she religiously checked the mail to see if her invite had arrived.

"You know I'm a star; space, I'ma need space, I'ma need space (N-A-S-A)," Kady sang along with one of Cat's older songs, but it was still one of her favorites. She opened the mail and pulled everything before dancing her way back up. While on her way she started flipping through and saw that she had a letter from Hollywood Arts. She goes wide-eyed and looks down at the letter while dropping the rest of the mail.

"Oh my god," Kady rips open the letter as quickly as humanly possible, "Dear Kady West-Oliver, we are pleased to tell you that we would love to have you on our campus with your spectacular audition, credits to your name, as well as, you being a legacy from, not one but two of our former students…" Kady let out a yell of joy as tears start falling down her cheeks.

"Kady!" Jade comes rushing out of the house with Alivia and Eoghan not far behind watching from the doorway. "Kady, sweetheart, what's wrong? Are you hurt?" Jade starts checking Kady everywhere for some injury.

"No, Mom," Kady smiles and hands Jade the letter, "look," Jade takes the letter and reads it. "I did it, Mom,"

"Of course you did," Jade pulls Kady in for a tight hug, "you're mine after all," Jade brushes away her eldest's tears.

"Can we call Dad?" Jade nods with a smile before picking up the mail and hands it back to Kady to take it into the house.

"Yep, and then we are going out for dinner to celebrate,"

"And take lots of pictures and send them to Dad to rub it in his face that he isn't here?"

"I knew you were my kid." Jade picks up Eoghan before leading the other two inside.

SEPTEMBER 2028

Kady shuts her locker and looks at the painted galaxy with a smile.

"You like space?" Kady turns behind her and sees a tall boy with long brunette locks and stunning green eyes.

"What?" Kady loses all her thoughts the minutes her eyes land on him.

"Space?" The boy points to her locker, "do you like it?" Kady looks at him confused and looks at her locker.

"Oh, yea, yea," she turns back with a smile, "my Aunt Cat and Uncle Robbie take me to the planetarium or stargazing all the time,"

"That's cool! I love stargazing, something about looking at a bunch of stars that you know at millions of miles apart but look so close together…"

"Makes you feel less alone," they both say at the same time. They both laugh.

"Carter Warner, junior," Carter puts out his hand.

"Kady West-Oliver, freshmen," Carter chuckles, "what?"

"I know who you are," Katy's face falls, "you're Hollywood Arts royalty,"

"No, I'm a freshman whose parents went here,"

"Who has starred in movies and has hit songs," Kady steels herself.

"I'm just a girl who is trying to get better at her chosen art nothing more. My talents got me into this school. My name is just Kady, and I have to go,"

"Look, I'm sorry if I offended you," Carter took her hand and a spark ran down her body. Kady had heard her parents talk about their first meeting enough to know what that meant. Why did it have to be this dumb asshole?

"You didn't do anything,"

"Can I buy you some coffee?"

"No." Kady walked as fast as she could up the steps.

"I heard it took your Dad thirteen tries to get your mom to say yes," Kady turns back and looks down from the top of the stairs to the boy on the first floor, "so I guess I'll have to try twelve more times." With a smile, he leaves and Kady feels a blush seep up her cheeks before she bolts to her first class.

Sorry for all the quick jumps. I wanted all of these in the same chapter, and I didn't want to cloud the chapter with a ton more little vignettes. I hope you guys liked it!

Until Next Time!
