My Wife and Kids - Chapter 3: Injury Prone

By the time March flew in, Xander was already 6 months old, growing and developing right before his mother's eyes.

Chloe and Beca were able to get back more into the swing of their work again which was good for both of them. The brunette was also taking some more of the responsibility to let her wife have a few hours out of the house now and again.

Everything was going great and they couldn't be happier.

Beca and Xander were home alone at the moment and had been all morning, Hailee was at school and Chloe was out shopping so she was able to spend some quality time with her son.

The 26 year old held the baby in arm as she bottle fed him, talking to him as she did so which made him keep his eyes on her. There was something she loved about being able to be the one that fed him, it allowed her to bond with him in a similar way Chloe does when she breastfeeds him.

"That'll be your mom." Beca laughed, rolling her eyes as her phone started ringing beside her. "2 seconds, baby." She apologised as she had to take the bottle away for split second, earning some noises of complaint from her son. "I know, I know, blame mom." The brunette laughed as she quickly picked up her phone and pressed speaker phone as she answered the call. "What's up?" Beca asked her wife as she continued to feed the baby. Of course it was Chloe, although she could leave Beca alone with Xander, didn't mean she wouldn't keep calling her to see if everything was okay.

"How're my babies doing?" The woman down the line asked.

"Babies? We have another one!?" The brunette gasped jokingly.

"Talking about you, weirdo." Chloe laughed.

"He's just finishing his bottle right now." The woman smiled as she looked down at the baby as he finished off the milk.

"Oh good, well I'm just on my way home so I won't be long."

"No problem babe, we'll see you when you get home. I love you." Beca sang down the line with a grin on her face.

"Love you too, you as well Xander." Chloe returned. "Bye, sweetheart."

"Bye." The younger woman chuckled before the line cut off. "You like a good drool to yourself, huh?" She laughed as she used a wipe to clean his chin, making him giggle. "Find that funny?" She asked in amusement. "You've got a face full of mischief."

Xander just continued to smile at her, waving one of his chubby little fists.

The doorbell rang and Beca raised an eyebrow at her son. "I know mommy's talented, dude but she sure as hell couldn't have gotten here that fast." She said as she carried him to go answer the door with her. With one arm holding Xander, the brunette used her free one to open the door. "Dad?" She asked in surprise at the sight of her father smiling at her.

"Hi honey." John greeted brightly. "Hey little buddy." He reached forward and tickled his grandson's stomach, making the baby giggle with his little toothless grin.

"What're you doing here?" The woman wondered as she ushered her father inside, leading the way into the kitchen.

"Kat's at work so I thought I'd come for a little visit." He explained as he took a seat at the breakfast bar.

"Do you wanna hold him while I make coffee?" Beca handed Xander over to her father who sat him up on the counter in front of him.

"Getting much sleep yet?" John chuckled as he made funny faces to his grandson.

"He's almost sleeping through the whole night so we're getting there." Beca replied from across the room.

"Where's the other half?"

"Out shopping, I told her to leave everything to me for the morning." The brunette explained, smiling over her shoulder at her father and son.

"He's going to be a handsome young man when he's older, Beca." The man said knowingly. "Just like your old grandpa." He added with a laugh making his daughter roll her eyes.

Beca climbed up onto the counter to reach the top cupboard.

"Need a hand, sweetheart?" John asked in concern.

"I'm good, dad." The brunette chuckled with an eye roll as she grabbed two mugs and hopped back down. As she waited on the coffee, turned around and leaned against the counter with her arms folded across her chest. "Hey, dad?" She asked.

"Yeah?"

"When I was younger, what did you really think I'd be doing with my life at this age?" The woman wondered curiously with a playful grin.

"Well let's see...I thought you'd follow your old man's footsteps and teach English for a living since you enjoyed it so much." John began, glancing over at his daughter now and again as he continued to play with his grandson. "For a while I also thought you'd have a boyfriend, not a husband though because I thought you weren't about that life. He'd be whipped though, you'd have him wrapped around your little finger." He laughed and Beca cut him off.

"Weren't about what life? The husband life? Dad I'm not even about the boyfriend life." She laughed along playfully.

"I know that now, but I had no clue back then!" He protested with a smile. "You didn't come out to me till you were 18."

"What about kids?" She wondered as she toyed with her wedding ring.

"Yeah I thought you'd have kids, you said you hated them but you couldn't deny it, kids weirdly loved you when you were a teenager." John laughed, pointing at the woman. "But now you've got a successful career, a son, a step-daughter and a wife that doesn't take your shit." He grinned with a laugh when he mentioned Chloe. "It's her that's got you wrapped around her finger, Bec." He teased.

Beca just narrowed her eyes at him. "No, I think you'll find that we don't take each other's shit, we're not afraid to call each other out." She laughed as she poured the coffee.

"You're good for each other, honey." John nodded before kissing Xander's forehead. "Hey son, I spent many years in a house full of women. Your mom, aunt and grandma were quite a handful. You've got both your moms and a big sister to deal with so good luck with that kid, you'll be drowning in estrogen." He joked as his grandson sucked on his own fingers.

"Hey!" Beca protested as she set the mugs down on the counter. "Xander come here baby, let grandpa get his coffee." She picked up her son and placed him in his high chair instead so she could take a seat at the breakfast bar between him and her father.

"He's growing up so fast." John commented as he sipped on his coffee.

"I know right?" Beca grinned before turning to look at her son in adoration.

"Has he started on solids yet?" The man wondered.

"Little bits here and there, mostly try it with him around when we have our dinner." The woman explained, reaching forward and allowing Xander to grab onto her hand in amusement. "But obviously he prefers my hand." She laughed as the baby tried to stick her hand into his mouth.

They suddenly heard the sound of the front door closing.

"Chloe?!" Beca called through.

"Yeah!" The familiar voice called back.

Chloe entered the kitchen and dropped her bags at her feet, smiling at her wife and father-in-law as she snuck up behind her son's high chair and covered his eyes with her hands. "Guess whoooo." She sang before lifting Xander up and turning him around to see her, his face lighting up at the sight of his mother. "Hi, baby boy." The redhead cuddled the baby, peppering his head in kisses.

"Hey, beautiful." Beca winked and smiled lovingly at her wife.

"Hey, baby." Chloe greeted sweetly, tilting Beca's chin up so she could lean down and kiss her. "Hi, John." She added with a smile as she glanced up at the man.

"Hello, sweetheart." John gave his daughter-in-law a warm smile.

"What did you buy?" The brunette wondered as she got up, taking a little look in the bags before going over to pour her wife a cup of tea.

"Just some clothes." Chloe replied distracted, laughing at the way Xander giggled every time she tapped his nose. "Were you good for mommy?" She asked in a baby voice.

"As always." Beca said as she walked towards her wife, nursing a hot mug of tea. "Here you go babe, I'll take him." She passed the tea to her wife before taking Xander off her.

"It's beautiful outside, do you wanna go sit by the pool?" The redhead asked hopefully and Beca and John were quick to agree.

The two women went to change into their bikinis and get Xander ready before they joined John outside to sit in the sun.

John was sitting at the table underneath the shade, entertaining his grandson while Chloe was standing by the pool looking at her phone and Beca was bringing their drinks outside.

"Texting your girlfriend, babe?" Beca joked, placing her sunglasses down on the table with a smirk.

"Totally." Chloe scoffed but still didn't even glance up.

The brunette bit back her smirk as she took the opportunity to approach her wife, quickly swiping the device out of the redhead's hands before pushing her into the pool.

"Beca!" The older woman screamed as she fell back before being totally submerged in the water.

Beca was practically doubled over in laughter while John just shook his head, chuckling at his daughter's childish behaviour.

"You're a right dick, did you know that?" Chloe said once she resurfaced, pushing her hair out of her face.

"I hear that quite a lot actually." Beca shrugged with a grin, squinting her eye at the sun. "Funny that it's usually only from you though." She pointed to her wife before placing the woman's phone on the table.

"That's cause I spend every day with you, I get to see your true self." Chloe joked with a wink.

Beca walked up to the edge of the pool before diving in beside her wife. She resurfaced with a smile, wiping her face with her hands before running her fingers through her hair.

"You're a pair of kids, you two." John laughed making the two women turn around.

"Shit, shit, shit. Fuck." Aubrey cursed, her fingers laced through her hair. She pulled her hands out of her hair before staring at herself in the mirror. "Why?" The blonde whined at herself before glancing down with a shaky breath. There set out on the counter in front of her were 3 pregnancy tests and all of them had come out positive.

She didn't understand why this happened. Her and Ryan were always so careful! They were always sure to use a condom every time they had sex since she wasn't on the pill or anything.

"Babe?" Aubrey almost jumped out of her skin at the sound of her boyfriend's voice.

She cleared her throat, trying her best to not let it sound like she was on the verge of tears. "Yeah?"

"Chloe just texted asking if we'd pick up Hailee from school and drop her off." He continued.

"Alright, I'll be out in a second." The blonde said, wiping her eye of the tear that managed to escape.

The reason why this was scaring her so much was the fact she'd have to break the news to Ryan, her boyfriend who already has a daughter with another woman who just so happened to be her best friend. Which makes telling Chloe even harder, she's having a baby with her best friend's daughter's father! And of course then there's the possibility of Hailee resenting her...This family belonged on a fucking reality TV show!

Aubrey took a deep breath before finally exiting the bathroom, making her way down the hall in search for her boyfriend. She smiled to herself as she heard him singing along to the radio in the kitchen as she entered the room to find him drying off some of the dishes. The blonde silently walked up behind the man and wrapped her arms around him, resting her head on his back.

"Hey." Ryan greeted in surprise with a chuckle.

"I need to tell you something." The woman said quietly and Ryan turned around, his face laced with concern as he softly ran his hands along his girlfriend's arms.

"Everything okay?" He asked and Aubrey just looked down at the floor between them.

"Shit." She muttered under her breath as she forcefully wiped her eyes.

"Babe, tell me what's wrong." Ryan gently tilted Aubrey's chin up so she would look up at him with her teary eyes.

She tried but her mouth only open and closed a couple of times as her heart pounded hard in her chest.

"Aubrey." He encouraged softly.

"I...I'm...pregnant." Aubrey finally managed to get out, her voice barely above a whisper.

"What?" Ryan asked, matching his girlfriend's volume.

The blonde pulled away from her boyfriend, folding her arms across her chest as she feared his reaction.

"Are you serious? You're pregnant?" He asked incredulously as he took a step towards her, placing his hand on her abdomen.

She nodded, still staring at the floor. "I get it if your pissed."

"Aubrey look at me, do I look pissed?" He chuckled as he placed his hands on the blonde's cheeks, tilting her head up. "This is amazing, baby." The man's smile stretched from ear to ear.

"It is?"

"Of course it is, I'm going to be a dad again!" Ryan said in excitement as he searched his lover's eyes. "Are you okay with this?"

Aubrey took a minute to think about it, she imagined herself and Ryan raising a baby together and it immediately made her smile. She nodded as she wrapped her arms around her boyfriend, hugging him tightly.

"I can't believe I'm gonna be a dad again." The man whispered in disbelief as he felt himself tear up slightly. He spun them around and lifted his girlfriend up onto the counter and he stood between her legs, holding onto her waist.

"I love you." Aubrey sighed in relief as she ran her hand over her boyfriend's stubble.

"I love you too." Ryan returned with a grin before kissing the woman softly on the lips.

"Can we wait a while until we tell Chloe and Hailee?" The woman asked quietly after she pulled away from the kiss.

"Of course." He nodded, completely understanding.

"Special delivery!" Ryan called, carrying his giggling daughter over his shoulder as they made their way into Beca and Chloe's back yard.

"Hey." Beca and Chloe greeted, still messing around in the pool together.

"Should I throw you in?" The man laughed as he ran to the edge of the pool, making his daughter scream.

"Mom!" Hailee automatically squealed for her mother as Ryan threatened to toss her in.

"Only kidding lil weirdo." He chuckled as he set her down.

"Don't worry Hails, I would've went at him for getting your uniform wet." Chloe joked as she jumped on her wife's back under the water.

Ryan looked over his shoulder with a smile as he saw Aubrey talking with John while picking up Xander.

"Can I go and get changed and come in?" The 12 year old asked excitedly making her mother and step-mother laugh.

"Of course, kid." Beca said and Hailee immediately ran inside.

"How's the little man been?" Ryan asked as he approached his girlfriend who was holding the said baby. "Hey buddy." He greeted, smiling at Xander as he wrapped his arm around Aubrey.

"Great." Chloe replied proudly.

"Just been spending some time with his grandpa, right dad?" Beca chuckled, nodding over at her father.

"Yeah." John nodded with a smile as he took a sip of his coffee.

"He's such a little cutie." Ryan cooed, tickling the baby's stomach which made him laugh.

"He's adorable." Aubrey smiled, leaning into her boyfriend before looking up at him.

"Can I go on your shoulders?" Beca asked her wife in excitement as she playfully splashed the woman.

Chloe sighed and rolled her eyes at her childish wife. "This never ends well." She laughed before she took a deep breath as the brunette pushed her under the water.

With a giggle, Beca managed to sit on her wife's shoulders before the woman came back up, wrapping her arms around the brunette's legs.

"Guys, guys, guys look!" The 26 year old exclaimed, holding her arms out triumphantly as she grinned from ear to ear, grabbing everyone's attention.

The other 3 adults could only just laugh at the couple in the pool.

"Do any of you know if Jesse and Stacie picked a date for their wedding yet?" John wondered conversationally.

"Uh July the-what was it, 16th?" Beca tapped her wife on the head as she looking down at her with a furrowed brow.

"15th." The redhead corrected.

"Oh yeah."

Hailee came out of the house running and jumped into the pool.

"Woah, woah, woah!" Beca lost her balance and fell backwards off Chloe's shoulders into the water making Hailee laugh.

"That was your fault!" The 26 year old jokingly pointed at her step-daughter once she resurfaced.

"Play nice, girls." Chloe joked at she pulled herself out of the pool, leaving her wife and daughter laughing and splashing each other. "I'm gonna go upstairs, dry off and get changed since I didn't even want to go in the pool in the first place." She playfully narrowed her eyes and accusingly pointed at her wife.

A couple of hours later, Beca and Hailee had also gone upstairs and changed, John had went back home but Aubrey and Ryan had decided to stay for a while. Everyone was sitting around the table outside, enjoying how nice it was out. Xander was currently down for a nap upstairs so they had a baby monitor outside with them.

"So baby girl, you're turning 13 next week, what's the plans?" Ryan smiled as he placed his hand on his daughter's shoulder, taking a swig of his beer.

"Can I have a pool party?" The 12 year old asked in excitement as she glanced between Chloe and Beca.

"Of course, sweetheart." Chloe answered while her wife was too busy finishing off another beer. "Beca that's your third one." The redhead reminded as Beca placed her empty bottle next to the other two.

"I know babe, I'm not having anymore." The brunette shook her head as she pushed her glasses up her nose.

Chloe winked at her wife as she stood up and picked up the 3 bottles. "Bree, are you sure you don't want a glass of wine or anything?"

"Nah I'm good, Chloe. I'll need to drive back since he's had a drink." Aubrey chuckled as she playfully nudged her boyfriend.

"Babe, do the thing!" Beca grinned, pointing at her wife who just furrowed her brow at her.

"What thing?"

"Juggle the bottles." The 26 year old laughed. "Guys watch this."

The older woman just rolled her eyes but began juggling the 3 glass bottles anyway.

"Woah." Ryan laughed in amusement as his ex effortlessly juggled them.

"Oh." Chloe said as she had to stumble back to catch one that she had thrown a little off course. When it came back down, it completely shattered in her hand. "Shit!" She exclaimed, grasping onto her hand as the other 2 bottles smashed on the ground.

"Oh my god." Aubrey gasped.

"Mom are you okay?" Hailee rushed out.

"Woah, hey, hey." Beca got up and rushed to her wife's side as the woman was clearly in pain.

Chloe took her left hand away, revealing how much blood was actually bleeding from the palm of her right. "Fuck." She said in a shaky voice, as she felt her legs buckle beneath her.

"Shit." The brunette muttered as she held onto Chloe, carefully sitting her down on the ground before looking over her shoulder, immediately noticing her step-daughter's shocked expression. "Um Aubrey can you take Hailee inside?" She asked and the blonde nodded. "And Ryan can you give me that towel over there?"

The man quickly got up and dropped to his knees beside the redhead, passing the towel to Beca.

"Hey baby, you're gonna be alright okay?" The 26 year old reassured as she wrapped the towel around Chloe's hand.

"Chlo, look at me, don't look at your hands." Ryan said, gently taking his ex's now tear stained face in his hands. "Have you had a look at it?" He turned and asked the brunette.

Beca kept glancing up at her wife as she carefully unwrapped the towel to take a better look at the wound. She winced at the sight of it. "Chlo are you able to stand up? You need to go to the hospital for this, baby."

"I don't think I can, I think I'll just end up collapsing." Chloe admitted, her voice still trembling.

"Want me to call 911 and get an ambulance?" Ryan offered as he pulled out his phone.

"Please, Ry." Beca said and the man got up and walked away a little to call them.

"Beca I don't feel good." The redhead whined, breaking out into a sweat.

"Do you feel sick?" The younger woman asked as she took hold of her wife's uninjured hand, despite that being covered in blood too.

Chloe nodded as she closed her eyes.

Beca turned around and grabbed the trash can that sat next to the table and placed it beside her wife. "I'm gonna hold your arm up to try and slow the bleeding, okay?" She explained as she raised Chloe's hand above the level of her heart and held it there.

"Ambulance is on it's way, they said keep pressure on it." Ryan said as he returned.

Beca nodded and added a little more pressure, making Chloe wince.

"Can you hold my hair back?" The redhead rushed out as she leaned over the trash can.

The man quickly gathered Chloe's hair in his hands as the woman began to vomit.

"Here, dude, just tie it up for her." The younger woman held her hand out to Ryan, motioning to the hair tie on her wrist.

A trip to the hospital and a few stitches in her hand wasn't exactly how Chloe planned her evening to go. They decided to just get takeout for dinner and have an early night.

"Aw is my bubba tired?" Beca said in a baby voice as her and Chloe were putting Xander down to bed. "You gonna give mommy a kiss since she was so silly today?" The brunette laughed as she walked over to Chloe with the baby in her arms.

Chloe held up her bandaged hand. "You know it's kinda your fault." The redhead joked. As she used her good arm to support Xander's weight as she took him from her wife. "Thanks for being there by the way." She added genuinely in a quiet voice.

"I'm always here, babe." Beca smiled as she rubbed her wife's arm gently.

"You were so calm and knew what you were doing."

"Well since I basically saved your life, I think I deserve a little something." The younger woman smirked as she turned her head away, tapping her finger on her cheek.

The 32 year old rolled her eyes with a smile as she leaned forward to kiss her wife on the cheek but the other woman swiftly turned her head and stole one on the lips.

"You're so weird, I love you." Chloe giggled.

So what did you guys think? Please let me know:)
