A/N: Okay so I decided to do another time jump because I know exactly what I'm doing with this story and I didn't want to take forever to get there. I think you'll love me and hate me for this chapter. Enjoy!
CHAPTER ELEVEN:
4 months later…
Beca was sitting in Aubrey's house watching "Cinderella" with Emma in a huge hoodie to cover her baby bump. Neither Aubrey nor Chloe knows she's pregnant yet, but she has to soon because she's starting to show. Luke wouldn't know either if it wasn't for Fat Amy but he's beyond thrilled to be a dad. Aubrey was looking after Emma for the day while Chloe was having lunch with Jesse. After Chloe passed out at the club, when she woke up Jesse was in her house. Apparently he carried her in the house so for that she owed him just a little bit. Jesse said he reevaluated his life and would like to at least meet Emma one day. He got a promotion that transferred him to New York so he decided to track down Chloe. Chloe and Jesse are discussing the details of him meeting Emma. Aubrey hasn't told Beca that Jesse is back because she knows they had issues. Also, the DJ is spending a lot of time with Emma so having Jesse and Emma in the same vicinity may emphasize their similarities.
While Aubrey was making them lunch in the kitchen, Emma was lying on Beca's lap; Beca was mindlessly stroking Emma's hair and she thought the little one was asleep. Suddenly Beca felt Emma turn on her lap, lift her shirt, and then heard the little girl whispering.
"Uh bug, what are you doing?"
"I'm talking to the baby," Emma said like it was the most obvious thing in the world. Beca froze on the spot; If Chloe and Aubrey didn't know then how the heck did Emma know.
Beca decided to just play it off, there's no way she could know, "What baby?"
"The one growing in your tummy Bec."
"Why do think there's a baby growing in my tummy?"
Emma leaned up to whisper in Beca's ear, "I just know."
"Okay, well just keep it to yourself—like a secret."
"I can do that!" Emma said excitedly.
"Do what? By the way lunch is ready," Aubrey said by the kitchen. Emma grabbed Bunny with one hand and grabbed Beca's hand with the other. When Beca stood up she felt a rush of moisture on her thighs.
"Bec, did you get ketchup on your pants?" Emma asked.
"Oh my God—Aubrey!" Beca was panicking; she's pretty sure she's not supposed to have a period while she's pregnant.
"Beca, what's wro—Aubrey couldn't finish her sentence when she saw Beca holding her stomach she instantly knew what was going on.
"Bree, I'm so sorry. I was going to tell you I just didn't want you to tell Chloe."
"It's okay, it's okay. Just—How far along are you?"
"About three and a half months."
"Let's get to the hospital. I have to call Chloe, is that okay?"
"Yeah just do what you have to do." Aubrey grabbed Emma's coat and bundled the little girl up. They rushed out to Aubrey's car to take Beca to the emergency room; she called Chloe on the way.
Meanwhile with Chloe…
"So, next Saturday you can just start by taking her to the park and I'll go with you both just so she can warm up to you a bit," Chloe said.
"Alright that sounds perfect. Thank you so much for giving me a second chance, I was so immature and I at least want to know my child," Jesse said while grabbing Chloe's hand appreciatively.
"I understand completely and it's o—" Chloe was cut off by her phone ringing, "I'm sorry its Aubrey she's watching Emma today something could be wrong."
"It's fine, you can take it."
Chloe mouthed out a quick 'thanks' before answering, "Hello?"
A frantic Aubrey was on the other line, "Hey Chloe, um I need you to get down to the hospital."
Chloe instantly thought the worst thing possible, "Is Emma okay? Aubrey what's going on?"
"Emma is fine. Apparently Beca is three months pregnant and she started bleeding. Just get down here quick."
"Okay—um I—shit, okay bye." Chloe hung up and started grabbing her things.
"Chloe, is everything okay?"
"No, Beca is in the hospital apparently she's pregnant. God, why didn't she tell me? I just have to go. Oh my God—I'm really sorry Jesse I just got to get a cab."
"Don't be silly Chloe, I'll drive you."
"Really? Oh thank you so much."
"No problem, let's go."
At the hospital…
Aubrey was sitting in the hospital room with Luke and Beca. Emma was with Stacie, Tom, Amy, and Cynthia Rose in the lobby. Apparently Tom and Stacie were out on a date so they were already together when Aubrey sent the text message about Beca. Jesse didn't stay after dropping off Chloe because he didn't want to see Beca under these circumstances.
Aubrey, Beca, and Luke all looked up when the doctor walked in. Judging by the look on his face, he did not have good news.
"Um, Miss Mitchell, your test results came back and uh—your child did not make it. It seems you miscarried about two weeks ago and this is just your body's way of letting us know. I am so sorry for your loss." The doctor laid a comforting hand on Beca's shoulder, and then walked out to give the family time to grieve. Beca was already sobbing uncontrollably and Luke just covered his face with his hands, but it was obvious he was also crying. Aubrey got up and wrapped her arms around Beca while whispering reassuring words in her ear.
After Aubrey calmed down herself, she walked into the lobby to deliver the news to everyone else. Everyone was heartbroken; Fat Amy, Cynthia Rose, and Stacie were all crying. Chloe just held her own daughter who didn't know what was going on but was crying anyways just because everyone else was so upset. Chloe wasn't crying because she didn't want Emma to get more upset. Tom was comforting Stacie and Aubrey walked over to where Chloe was.
"How are you holding up?" Aubrey asked.
"I honestly don't know. I just wished she should've told me she was pregnant in the first place. We already talked about what happened between us and we became friends; you don't keep something like that from your friends."
"It was a secret." Emma said quietly into Chloe's neck but loud enough for Chloe and Aubrey to hear.
"What do you mean sweetheart?" Aubrey asked because Chloe was speechless.
"Bec said it was a secret and that I had to keep quiet. I knew she had a baby growing."
"How did you know?"
"I just knew." Emma said, then put her head back into Chloe's neck and kept crying while tightly hugging her bunny.
Cynthia Rose brought Beca a change of clothes for when she was released from the hospital. Beca looked like a zombie: her eyes were red, puffy, and swollen from crying. She didn't look at or talk to anyone. Luke helped her in the car then they silently drove home. Beca couldn't look at Luke because he helped make this baby and it was her fault the baby died. She couldn't look at Aubrey and Chloe because she lied to them for three months. She felt like a terrible person and couldn't stand the guilt.
A few days later, Chloe was sitting on her couch humming a song while doing Emma's hair. Today her and Emma were going to be meeting Jesse at the park. She heard a knock at the door and figured it was just Aubrey so she told them to come in. When the door opened a timid Beca walked in carrying roses and looking down shyly.
"Uh, hey." Beca said as she walked further into the house.
"Bec!" Emma ran up to Beca and jumped in her arms.
"Hey bug." Beca said; the little girl always brought a smile to her face.
Chloe was freaking out because they were supposed to be seeing Jesse. How in the world would she explain that to Beca?
"Sorry to just drop by like this. I just wanted to apologize for not telling you about, you know."
"Oh Beca, you don't have to apologize for that. I'm just glad you're okay; I just wish you would've called me and Emma are about to head out in a few minutes."
"Oh, I'm sorry, I'll just be on my way then. I just had to apologize I've already talked to Aubrey because I'm staying with her."
"What, are you okay? Is Luke hurting you?" Chloe asked frantically.
"Oh no, of course not. We've just been having some issues lately but everything is fine. I'll just be going now. Please call me if you're ever free it's been a while since just the two of us hung out."
"Yeah, definitely." Chloe was still shocked about Beca staying with Aubrey. She watched the short DJ walk out of her house and wish she could've stayed. She needed to tell Beca about Jesse very soon before she found out from someone else.
