So...this isn't very long, mostly because I didn't think I would continue but I wanted to add a certain member to the family. I would happily continue one-shots like I did with AcaChild, but prompts are most welcome! Send me them, and I will write them up any spare time I have! Enjoy!

It didn't take long for Jesse and Aubrey to begin their family, only a year after getting married. Due to them both being in their thirties and well into their careers, a baby was easier to prepare for, and clicked only after a few months of trying. Of course Chloe was beyond excited for the couple and to have an Aca-niece or nephew that was in the same state, and that belonged to her best friend.

Aubrey was frantic to get everything prepared for the new baby, a boy they had found out a few months back. Anything that was ocean theme, she had to have whether it involved blankets, toys, and including all the furnishing of his high chair and bouncers. No one dared to tell her no or to tell her to relax, that never seemed to work for Aubrey in the past; more so with her hormones all out of whack. All the Beale-Mitchell mothers could do was give some advice on the pregnancy and answer any questions both Jesse and Aubrey had. Of course, the older blonde had attended a series of classes to prepare herself for birth, and the up to date parenting and baby care. Jesse of course joined, disincluding the baby yoga, but to his own nature was more relaxed and excited for a baby, and a boy at that. He did already experience it with Emily after all, but after the divorce, only got her every other weekend.

Emily seemed uninterested in another sibling, and maybe a little jealous. She was daddy's little princess and he focused all his attention on her when she was staying with him. The seven-year old did remember when Maddie came along, similar feelings resurfacing. But she put up a good front about the news, and Jesse made sure to spend extra days with her before baby boy was to arrive.

It was a cold October afternoon when Jesse had unexpectedly picked up Emily from school, the second grader usually taking the bus with her friends. He was extra smiley and gave her a big hug and kiss at first contact.

"Hey baby girl! How was school?"

Emily looked surprised and a bit skeptical at her father. Usually she was a happy-go-lucky kid like her dad, but she seemed to be acting like her mother these days.

"Good...Daddy, why are you here? It's not friday…"

"Well….your new baby brother was born this morning... I wanted you to be the first one to meet him...would you like to? Or do you wanna wait for your Mommy?"

Emily initially felt a bit uneasy at the news, but she never had a baby brother before and her daddy seemed really happy. She smiled and gave him a big nod. He smiled even bigger and turned around to start driving.

"You'll always be my princess, Emily. No matter what." She smiled for real that time.

The hospital was good and quiet when Jesse and Emily arrived hand in hand. When they entered, Chloe was of course there, having had witnessed the birth of her first nephew. The redhead was on the bed, looking over Aubrey's shoulder, who was holding the new baby.

"Hey baby...here, you come take my spot." Chloe said when she noticed the girl arrive, patting on her newly vacated spot, giving her a small welcoming kiss on top of her head. Aubrey adjusted to better fit Emily, smiling at her step-daughter.

"What's his name?" Emily asked as she looked at the baby boy, the Swanson family have kept his name a secret until he was born. He looked like what most babies look like; round head, stubby nose. But he had lots of hair, seemingly dark like Emily's and Jesse's.

"Skylar Astin. What do you think Em of your new brother?" Aubrey asked, giving the little girl a nudge with her free shoulder. Emily smiled but shrugged her shoulder's unknowingly. She wasn't really sure how much this baby would change her life. Emily was only four when Maddie was born, but she changed Emily's life a lot, and spent a lot of time at her Daddy's where she was an only child again. Now she would have nowhere to go to be the only child.

"Wanna hold him, Em?" Jesse offered, but when she didn't respond he picked her up and set her in his lap on the bed. Chloe then scooped up Skylar, and placed him delicately in Emily's lap and positioned him safely. Skylar stirred only a little, but settled content on hig big sister's lap. Emily smiled and booped his little nose with her index finger, giggling when he wrinkled in surprise.

"I can teach him music and singing like I taught Maddie, right Mama? And Daddy, he could be a Treble! Just like you were! But Mommy always said that babies can like what they want even if it's not what the mommies and daddies want, but maybe Sky will and…"

The adults couldn't help but laugh at the 180 degree spin in the seven year old's attitude, but they knew that they weren't going to have to worry much for the future. Even though Emily didn't visit much, they knew she would be a great big sister, just like she was to Maddie.

"Take a breath there hon...but yes Em, he could be anything he wants to be." Aubrey said, stopping the girl so she could regain normal breathing. Emily smiled at Aubrey, before looking back at Skylar and giving him kiss on his forehead. "Now I everything. A baby sister and a baby brother!"

Later in the evening, Beca and Maddie joined the odd family, Emily not wanting to break away from her little brother anytime soon. Maddie too eagerly climbed on her Aunt Aubrey's bed, first smooching her favorite aunt before looking at the baby.

"He looks like Uncle Jesse!"

"Quiet voice there kiddo, but yeah he does...two out of two, huh Jess, look like you?" Beca reminded, before looking at her best friend. He was just beaming.

"What can I say, I have all these great genes my body must pass down…" He teased, earning two smacks from Beca and Aubrey. He feigned physical pain, while everyone laughed, passing the baby around.

An hour or so past, and Beca and Chloe were ready to go home. Emily of course, was not.

"C'mon babe, Daddy, Aubrey, and Skylar need some rest. We need to go home and eat dinner and have bath time." Chloe reminded, carefully taking Skylar away from Emily and handing him back to Aubrey.

"Will I be able to visit more, Daddy? I don't want the baby to miss me.." Emily asked Jesse, worry flashed across her young eyes.

"You will Em, but probably not for awhile...babies cry lot and don't sleep well the first few weeks and me and Aubrey need to give all our attention on him. But I promise, I'll make sure Mommy and I plan more time for you to visit so you can see him. Deal?"

"Deal!"
