WHOLE LOTTA LOVE TO SHARE
Prompt from FanFiction User horsegurl03: Hey, how about a 2nd shot to (I think Christmas 2018) chapter 13 - In Sickness And In Health. [Both announced they are pregnant]
Beca and Chloe checked in at the desk for their appointments. They sat in the waiting room and Beca couldn't help but stare at her wife.
They were both ten weeks pregnant and having their first ultrasound. They would have had them at eight weeks, but Chloe's grandmother passed away and they were in Tampa for a week.
Beca sighed and sat back, thinking back to Christmas when they both surprised each other with the news of their pregnancies.
On Christmas Eve, they had both said they had a special gift for the other. Chloe had run out of the room to get her gift for Beca, while Beca had hidden hers under the tree.
"Who should go first?" Chloe asked.
"You go first," Beca said. "I have a feeling my present is going to overshadow yours if I go first."
"I highly doubt that," Chloe said. "But, here."
Chloe handed Beca a box wrapped in paper with A Charlie Brown's Christmas scenes on it. It was Beca's favorite holiday story and she watched it every year.
"Nice paper," Beca side with a smile.
Beca tore the paper and threw it to the side. She looked at Chloe who was nervously chewing her bottom lip. She opened the box and set the lid down on the floor.
Beca peeked in the box and found layers of tissue paper. "Are you sure you want me to see this?" Beca asked with a laugh. "How many more layers do I have to get through to find it?"
"Oh, be quiet you," Chloe said, slapping at her arm. "It's under the paper."
Beca moved the tissue paper and pulled out something made of white cloth. She unfolded it and held it up.
"I know I'm small, Chlo," Beca said with a teasing smile. "But I don't think this is going to fit."
"Turn it around."
Beca turned it around and she quickly turned to look at Chloe. Chloe was smiling and had tears running down her face.
"This is for real?" Beca asked with tears in her eyes as she looked at the little tee that said 'I Love my Two Mommies.' "You're pregnant?"
Chloe nodded her head and Beca grabbed her and kissed her. She placed a hand on Chloe's stomach and pulled back.
"Why didn't you say anything earlier?" Beca said. "When you didn't say anything, I thought you were upset because the pregnancy test was negative."
"I was going to tell you that night," Chloe said. "But when you came in you were so loving and gentle and I decided I wanted to do something special and surprise you."
"Well you did surprise me," Beca said.
Beca pulled Chloe to her again and held her for a few minutes.
"We're going to have some excited soon-to-be-grandparents here tomorrow," Chloe said with a laugh.
"They may be a bit more excited than you think," Beca mumbled.
"What?"
"I think you should open your present."
Chloe opened the gift to find the same shirt she gave Beca. "How did you know I was pregnant?"
"I didn't," Beca said and just looked at Chloe. She knew the second Chloe figured it out.
She stared at Beca with wide eyes and her mouth opened and closed a few times before she managed to squeak out, "You're pregnant, too?"
"Yep," Beca said. "Surprise?"
"But, how? When? How?"
Beca took Chloe's hands in hers and moved closer so they were sitting knee to knee. "You were so upset when the first two tries didn't work that I was afraid of how you'd react if another attempt didn't work. And with Christmas coming up I didn't want you to be sad, so after you had your procedure done I went in and had it done, too. I figure we had a better shot at one of us being pregnant."
"So, when we thought you had the flu, it was-"
"Morning sickness," Beca finished. "Yeah."
"Oh, my God, Becs," Chloe said and let out a sob. "We're going to have two babies." Chloe grabbed Beca in a hug and kissed her. "I love you, so much."
"I love you, too," Beca said.
"This is going to be a great story to tell our kids one day," Chloe said.
"Mrs. Mitchell," a nurse called out, rousing Beca from her memories.
Chloe stood and held her hand out to Beca. Beca took it and followed Chloe to the ultrasound room.
"Which one of you is Chloe Mitchell?" the nurse asked.
"I am," Chloe said.
"Okay. Please remove your shirt and pants and put this on," the nurse said, holding out a paper gown.
"Um, I need one of those," Beca said.
The nurse looked at her.
"I'm pregnant, too," Beca said. "We both have an appointment for an ultrasound today."
"Oh," the nurse said. She grabbed another paper gown and handed it to Beca. "I'd better get your chart. What's your first name."
"Beca," Beca said.
The nurse left the room. Beca and Chloe both disrobed and put on their paper gowns. Beca sat on the exam table and Chloe stood next to her.
"Maybe one of us will have a girl," Beca said. "And one of us will have a boy. That would be cool, wouldn't it?"
"I think so," Chloe said.
"Hey, are you okay?" Beca asked, pulling Chloe to her.
"I'm so nervous," Chloe said. "It took so many tries for me to get pregnant. What if something happens? What if-"
"Hey," Beca said, interrupting Chloe. "No matter what happens, we are in this together. Literally."
Chloe chuckled. "I'm sorry. I just want us both to have a healthy baby."
"Me, too," Beca said and suddenly pulled back from Chloe. "Oh, my God! I just thought of something. What if we both go into labor at the same time? I want to be there for you."
"I want to be there for you, too," Chloe said. "I'm sure our folks, and even the Bellas, will be there for each of us."
"We have to tell them first," Beca said. "Why don't we tell them on Valentine's Day?"
"We should make sure everything's okay first," Chloe said.
"Everything will be fine," Beca said, hugging Chloe. "I can feel it."
There was a soft knock on the door. A doctor, and the nurse that was there previously, entered.
"Good morning, Mrs. Mitchell," the doctor said. "And Mrs. Mitchell. I understand you're both pregnant and are here for your first ultrasound."
"Yes," Beca and Chloe said.
"Okay, then," the doctor said with a smile. "Who wants to go first?"
"I'm already on the table so I'll go first," Beca said and laid back on the table.
Chloe stood by Beca's side as the nurse placed a sheet over Beca's lower half. Chloe pulled the gown up and exposed Beca's stomach.
The doctor clicked on the screen and took a tube of gel. He placed it over Beca's stomach.
"This is going to be a little cold," the doctor said as he squeezed some of the gel.
Beca's stomach contracted at the cold feeling. The doctor placed the ultrasound wand over the gel and started moving it back and forth as he watched the screen.
"Do you hear that?" the doctor asked.
"Oh, my gosh," Chloe said. "Is that the heartbeat?"
"It is," the doctor said.
Beca and Chloe listened as tears gathered in their eyes. Beca grasped Chloe's hand and squeezed it gently.
"That's our baby's heartbeat, Becs," Chloe whispered in awe.
"I know," Beca whispered back.
"Everything looks good," the doctor said. "I'll print off a picture for you to take home."
"Could you print a couple of them?" Chloe asked.
"Of course," the doctor said with a smile.
"Thank you," Beca said.
The nurse wiped Beca's stomach and pulled the gown down. She removed the sheet and helped Beca off the table. She removed the paper sheet and replaced it.
"Mrs. Mitchell," the nurse said, looking at Chloe. "You're next."
Chloe got onto the table and the nurse got her ready. The doctor handed Beca copies of the first ultrasound. Beca held it as tears came to her eyes.
"It's so beautiful," Beca said.
"Okay, Mrs. Mitchell number 2," the doctor said. "Are you ready?"
Chloe pulled her gown up to expose her stomach and nodded her head.
"Whoa," Chloe said and laughed as the gel landed on her stomach. "That is a bit cold."
"Sorry," the doctor said as he moved the wand over Chloe's stomach. "There it is."
Beca and Chloe listened as the baby's heartbeat filled the room. They looked at each other and smiled.
The doctor checked the screen and smiled. He moved the wand.
"And," the doctor said with much fanfare. "There's the other one."
"What?" Beca and Chloe both asked.
~ 2020 BeChloe Valentines - Whole Lotta Love to Share ~
Beca and Chloe sat in their car, stunned at hearing the Chloe was expecting twins. Beca held both their ultrasounds in her hand, tracing over the tiny shapes in awe.
Chloe sat in the seat next to Beca, her hands over her stomach, smiling as tears ran down her cheeks.
"Can you believe it, Becs?" Chloe asked, looking over at her wife. "Twins! We're going to have three babies."
"I know," Beca said, still in awe. "I don't think I've ever been this happy before."
"Me, either," Chloe said. She reached for Beca's hand. "I love you."
"I love you, too," Beca said and leaned over to kiss Chloe.
"Let's go home," Chloe said, kissing Beca one more time. "We need to tell our folks."
"They are going to freak," Beca said. "Hey, if we have a girl, do you think it'd be okay if we named her after your grandmother?"
Tears flowed down Chloe's face. She leaned over and grabbed Beca in a hug.
"I think that would be more than okay," Chloe said.
Beca smiled at Chloe and started the car. Chloe wiped her face and smiled all the way home.
A few hours later, Beca and Chloe were cuddling on the sofa. Both of their parents had been ecstatic to hear about the twins. Mama Beale cried when they told her if one of the babies was a girl they were naming it after her mom.
"We should find out what the babies' sexes are," Chloe said.
"That's a good idea," Beca said. "We can figure out names and color schemes for the nurseries."
"Yeah," Chloe said.
"We should definitely tell the Bellas, soon," Beca said.
"I think Valentine's Day will be a good day to tell them," Chloe said. "They'll all be in town."
"Do you think we should tell Stacie and Aubrey first?"
"They are our best friends," Chloe said. "But-."
"But, what?" Beca asked.
Chloe moved to face Beca and used her left hand to play with the buttons on Beca's shirt while putting her right arm around Beca's waist.
"Is it wrong that I want to keep this to ourselves for just a while longer?" Chloe asked.
"No, I don't think it's wrong," Beca said, kissing the tip of Chloe's nose. "We'll tell all the Bellas at the same time."
"I like that idea," Chloe said. "It's only two more weeks."
"I agree," Beca said, pulling Chloe closer to her. "Plus, I read somewhere that you should wait until you've reached twelve weeks to tell people."
~ 2020 BeChloe Valentines - Whole Lotta Love to Share ~
The next two weeks found Beca and Chloe still walking on air over the news that not only were they both pregnant, but Chloe was pregnant with twins.
Beca was at the studio finishing some work so she'd have time off to spend with the Bellas. Stacie and Aubrey were the first to arrive, followed by the rest of the Bellas over the next two hours.
The girls were sitting around, catching up and chatting when Stacie called out to Chloe.
"What time will Beca be home?" Stacie asked.
"Around seven, I think," Chloe responded. "I'll text her to see."
Chloe went to the kitchen to text Beca.
"Do you have any wine?" Jessica asked. "The girls want to start partying."
"Um, yeah," Chloe said and grabbed two bottles of wine and some glasses.
"Beca texted she'd be home soon," Chloe said as she and Jessica rejoined the Bellas in the living room.
"Who is she working with?" Ashley asked.
"I can't tell you," Chloe said. "But you all love them."
"Not fair, Chloe," Emily whined.
"Sorry," Chloe said, not looking sorry at all.
"Shots! Shots! Shots!" Amy suddenly yelled.
"Yeah, shots!" CR cried out.
"I don't know, you guys," Chloe said.
"Come on, Chloe," Stacie chimed in. "It's a Bellas party. We have to have shots."
Just then the front door opened and Beca walked in.
"Beca!" Chloe squealed and ran over to her wife.
"Beca's home!" Amy shouted. "Now we can really get this party started."
Beca kissed Chloe and looked around before whispering, "Let me guess. Shots?"
"Yeah," Chloe whispered. "We can't drink. We have to tell them now before they start pushing the shots on us."
"You're right," Beca said. "Come with me."
Beca took Chloe's hand and moved toward the stairs.
"Beca!" Stacie called out. "Get over here. We're doing shots."
"I need to talk to Chloe about something," Beca said quickly. "We'll be right back."
Beca hurried Chloe up the stairs before anyone else could say anything to them.
"Ew, they're going to do it while we're all waiting down here," Aubrey said.
"No, they're not," Stacie said. "That wasn't Beca's 'I'm going to have sex with my wife' look."
The girls all stared at Stacie. "What?" she asked with a shrug.
"I don't even want to know how you know that," Ashley said, shaking her head.
Beca dragged Chloe into their bedroom and closed the door.
"I'm going to change into sweats," Beca said. "Put this on. I had them made during my lunch break."
Beca took two shirts out of the bag she was carrying. She handed one to Chloe.
Chloe held up a t-shirt that read Baby #1, Baby #2 with an arrow pointing down.
"What is this?" Chloe asked.
Beca held up her shirt to show Chloe. Hers said Baby #3 with an arrow pointing down.
"I thought we could put these on and see who figures it out first," Beca said.
"That's clever," Chloe said, smiling as she took off her shirt and replaced it with the t-shirt.
Beca quickly changed into sweats and put her t-shirt on. "Ready?"
"No, but let's do it anyway," Chloe said.
"I love you," Beca said, kissing Chloe.
"Mmm, I love you, too," Chloe said.
~ 2020 BeChloe Valentines - Whole Lotta Love to Share ~
Beca and Chloe came back downstairs to find the Bellas facing off against each other.
"Pizza!" the first group yelled.
"Chinese!" the second group called out.
"Oh, God," Beca said. "We go through this every single time."
"I want both," Chloe said.
"Then both you shall have," Beca said, kissing Chloe quickly. "Guys! Guys! Stop!"
The girls all shut up and looked at Beca.
"We can get both," Beca said. "Someone write down what the pizza group wants, and someone else write down what the Chinese group wants. I'll pay."
"Alright, Beca," Amy said. "I'll do the pizza order."
"I'll do the Chinese," Jessica said.
Chloe grabbed paper and pens for the two and everyone started saying what they wanted.
The orders were placed and the girls were sitting around the living room, talking and drinking. Beca and Chloe managed to keep away from having to do the shots by getting things from the kitchen.
"I can't believe no one's mentioned our shirts," Chloe told Beca as they gathered plates, napkins, and eating utensils.
"Yeah, and they said we were oblivious about our feelings for each other," Beca said. "We're practically telling them we're pregnant and they haven't noticed."
"I'm surprised Brey hasn't said anything," Chloe said. "She's usually more observant than the others."
"Foods here!" Flo called out from the living room.
Beca and Chloe left the kitchen to find the girls passing around the food. Beca sat next to Chloe and handed out the plates and napkins.
The girls started eating and Stacie was looking at Beca and Chloe. She slowly chewed her General Tso's Chicken as she stared at the couple.
"What's up with you two?" Stacie finally asked, waving her fork between the two of them.
"What do you mean?" Chloe asked.
"I don't know," Stacie said. "Maybe it's the wine or the shots, but something is different about you."
"Different how?" Beca asked.
"Yeah, Stacie," Emily said. "What are you talking about?"
"I'm not sure," Stacie said, her brows furrowed as she stared at Chloe.
Chloe began to squirm under her scrutiny.
"I know what it is," Stacie said suddenly. "Chloe, your boobs look bigger."
"Did you get a boob job?" Amy asked.
"What?" Beca screeched.
"No!" Chloe said.
"Then why do your boobs look-"
"You're pregnant!" Aubrey said.
The other girls whipped their heads around to look at Chloe, staring at her chest.
"Would you all stop looking at my wife's boobs," Beca said, putting a protective arm across Chloe's chest.
"It makes sense," Aubrey said. "Your boobs are fuller."
"And you haven't been drinking," Emily said.
"And you have this glow about you," Ashley said.
"Beca's boobs are fuller, too," Chloe said, laughing as Beca blushed. "And she hasn't been drinking."
"We're not talking about Beca," Stacie said. "We're talking about you."
"Are you pregnant, Chloe?" Aubrey asked.
The girls all stared at Chloe, waiting to hear the answer.
Beca and Chloe both breathed out a "Yes."
"Oh, my God, Chloe," Aubrey said, jumping up to run over and hug Chloe. "That's such wonderful news. Congratulations, I'm so happy for you."
"Um, we have something else to tell you all," Beca said, taking Chloe's hand and pulling her up to stand next to her.
Chloe smiled at Beca, but before either could say anything, Jessica shouted.
"Oh, my God! Look at their shirts. They're both pregnant! And Chloe-. You're having twins?"
"Yep," Chloe said with a big smile.
The girls all squealed and hugged Beca and Chloe. Flo sat off to the side watching, confusion written all over her face.
After everyone settled down, Chloe stood next to Beca with a smile as big as Beca's.
"Wait," Flo said. "I'm confused. How did you both get pregnant?"
Beca and Chloe told how Chloe had tried twice and the procedure didn't take. Then on the third try, Beca had the procedure done without Chloe knowing because she was afraid Chloe would be disappointed again if she wasn't pregnant.
"And we're both about twelve weeks," Beca said.
"And we found out that I'm having twins at our ultrasound two weeks ago," Chloe said.
"Wow!" Emily and Ashley said.
"This is, this is something else," CR said. "We're all so happy for you guys."
After everyone settled down, the topic of babies came up. It wasn't long after that everyone decided to call it a night.
~ 2020 BeChloe Valentines - Whole Lotta Love to Share ~
The next morning, Chloe gently eased out of Beca's arms and got out of bed. She pulled the blanket up around Beca's shoulders and kissed her on the forehead.
Chloe quietly made her way to the kitchen and set up the coffee pot. She put water in the tea kettle and set it on the stove. She was getting the cream and bottles of juice out of the refrigerator when she heard a raspy "Good morning" come from behind her.
Chloe looked over her shoulder to see Beca make her way over and take some of the things from Chloe, setting them on the counter. Chloe set what she was holding down as well.
"Did I wake you?" Chloe asked as Beca turned into her and hugged her.
"No," Beca said. "I reached for you and you were gone. Then I heard someone down here and figured it was you."
"The coffee should be ready in a few minutes," Chloe said. "I was going to give everyone another hour before I started waking them up. Our brunch reservation is for 11:00."
"Sounds good," Beca said. "I'll help you. But, first-"
Beca dropped down to her knees and hugged Chloe around the waist. She kissed Chloe's stomach twice and said, "I love you, babies."
Beca then stood and hugged Chloe. "And I love you."
"I love you, too," Chloe said, kissing Beca.
Beca continued to hold Chloe and started singing softly in Chloe's ear as they gently swayed back and forth together.
Having my baby
What a lovely way of saying
How much you love me.
Having my baby
Chloe laughed as Beca continued to softly sing to her.
What a lovely way of saying
What you're thinking of me.
Chloe pulled back and kissed Beca. She then started singing to Beca.
I can see it your face is glowing
I can see it in your eyes.
I'm happy knowin' that you're having my baby.
You're the woman I love and I love what it's doin' to you.
Having my baby
Beca kissed Chloe, causing her to stop singing.
"I can't think of anyone else in the world I'd want to have a baby with, then you," Beca said.
"Right back at ya, babe," Chloe said.
"Oh, my God, that was so sappy," Stacie said.
"Bite me, Conrad," Beca said, not taking her eyes off Chloe.
"Is the coffee ready?" Aubrey asked.
"Yeah," Chloe said, kissing Beca before turning to get coffee cups down for everyone.
Chloe made Beca's coffee and set it in front of her. Beca pulled Chloe to her and rested her forehead against Chloe's.
"Before I forget," Beca said. "Happy Valentine's Day."
"Happy Valentine's Day, my love," Chloe said.
