I've received several prompts wanting another fic about pregnant Beca at Christmas. Here it is as promised.


It was two days before Beca and Chloe Mitchell's annual Christmas Eve get together. It was really just another excuse to get all the Bellas together since just about all of them were now living in and around L.A. Beca and Chloe's house was the biggest so they, meaning Chloe, volunteered to host every year. This year was no exception.

"I swear to God if this baby doesn't get out of me soon," Beca growled as she paced back and forth. "I'm going down to the hospital and take a scalpel to myself."

"Will you please calm down," Chloe said. "And stop saying things like that. It scares me."

"You don't understand," Beca said stopping to look at Chloe. "This child is already four days overdue. Do you know what that means? It means I have a four day old child living inside me!"

Chloe choked back a laugh. She knew Beca was just frustrated and ready to not be pregnant anymore. It just seemed like their boy was just as stubborn as his mother and would join them when he was darned good and ready.

"Come help me wrap gifts," Chloe said. "It'll take your mind off of things."

"Fine," Beca said and followed Chloe into her 'wrapping room.'

"Here," Chloe said handing Beca to a couple of gifts. "These are for Stacie."

Beca wrapped the gifts and put a tag on them.

"Oomph," Beca said and grabbed her lower belly.

"Are you okay?," Chloe asked immediately.

"Yeah," Beca said. "Your son just kicked me and now I have to pee, again."

Beca got up and left the room to go to the bathroom. She came back a few minutes later.

"All done," Chloe said. "I'll just put these under the tree."

'I'll be down in a minute," Beca said. "I'm just going to clean up our mess."

"I'll get that later," Chloe said. "Don't worry about it."

"I got it," Beca said.

Chloe goes downstairs. Beca cleans up and heads down as well. She looks around as she goes to find Chloe.

"The place really does look nice, babe," Beca said. "You did a great job with the decorating."

"Thank you, Becs," Chloe said and kissed her wife. "Now let's go through our list and see what we still need to do."

"You can mark off the music," Beca said. "I have a boatload of mixes ready."

"Okay," Chloe said marking it off the list. "It looks like most of the stuff left to do is for the day of the party. Let's see, Aubrey and Stacie are picking up the beverages. The table centerpieces I ordered will be ready for pickup at 10:00, and the caterers will be here at 3:00 to have time to set up."

"Explain to me again why we're using a caterer this year," Beca said.

"Because we agreed that with a new baby," Chloe said. "It would be too much for us to do everything ourselves."

"Right," Beca said. "The baby that will be 7 days overdue at the time of the party. I will be walking around with a 7 day old child inside me."

"Will you try to find your Christmas spirit?," Chloe said. "We're going to be parents, our friends will be here to celebrate Christmas with us, and I love you. That should be enough to make you feel better."

"I'll try," Beca said and went to lie down for a while.

Chloe came in about 30 minutes later and finds Beca sitting up with her back against the headboard. She had a book propped up on her stomach.

"Did you straighten up in here?," Chloe said as she looked around their bedroom.

"Yeah," Beca said. "I've also been reading about natural ways to get labor started."

"Oh, yeah," Chloe said. "What kind of stuff do they suggest."

Chloe sits next to Beca on the bed and puts her head on Beca's shoulder to see what she's reading.

"Sex, for one" Beca said. "It helps release oxytocin which can jump start uterine contractions. Their words, not mine."

"Sex, huh?," Chloe asks with a grin on her face.

"Totes," Beca says with a smirk. "How about it?"

"I'm all for speeding up the labor process," Chloe says and pulls Beca into a kiss.

Chloe move Beca's hair back and kisses her neck.

"Oh, and nipple stimulation," Bec says with a moan. "That can help, too."

Chloe smiles and 'stimulates' Beca's nipples. She then proceeds to give Beca a mind-blowing orgasm. Chloe smiles and lays next to Beca while Beca is trying to catch her breath.

"Damn, babe," Beca said. "That was awesome."

"I'm going to fix some lunch," Chloe said. "Do you want anything special?"

"Grilled cheese with pickles," Beca said.

"Got it," Chloe said getting up. "Want me to bring it to you here?"

"No, thanks," Beca said. "I'll come downstairs after I make the bed."

Chloe gives Beca a quick kiss. She then kisses Beca's stomach and the lays her cheek against it.

"Today is a really good day to be born," Chloe says and feels the baby kick her cheek. "Just sayin'."

Beca is downstairs laying on the sofa. Chloe fixes her a grilled cheese with pickles and brings it to her. Beca lays the plate on her stomach and takes a bite of the sandwich, putting it back on the plate.

"Won't that fall?," Chloe asks, pointing to Beca's plate.

"Nope," Beca said. "Best table in the house."

Later that afternoon, Beca is walking up and down the stairs because she read that exercise was also a natural way to stimulate labor. She is starting to breathe a little heavier and decides to lay on the sofa for a while. Chloe sits with her and puts Beca's legs over her lap. She puts her head on Beca's stomach and starts talking to the baby.

"Hey, Charlie," Chloe says. "This is your momma. We are so excited for you to be out here with us. Mommy's feeling kind of cranky so the sooner the better."

Chloe lays her head on Beca's stomach. She can feel him move and she smiles and looks at Beca.

"I think he's listening," Chloe said.

For dinner that night, Beca asked Chloe to order Chinese for dinner. She ordered the General Tso's Chicken, extra spicy. She read that eating spicy foods could also help initiate labor.

The next day Beca was even more frustrated. She had tried almost everything she had read that could help initiate labor and nothing worked. She was getting dressed.

"Chloe!," Beca yells. "Chloe, can you come here? I need some help."

"What is it?," Chloe says as she runs into the bedroom.

"I can't get my shoes on," Beca whines.

Chloe helps her put her shoes on and takes her hands to help her stand. She gives Beca a quick peck on the lips. Beca follows Chloe downstairs. Chloe makes them breakfast and Beca makes Chloe sit down while she cleans their breakfast dishes. Chloe asks Beca if she wants to take a walk. They walk around the neighbor and stop for a while at the park.

"I think our Charlie will look like that little boy over there," Chloe says pointing out a small brown-haired boy.

"He's so cute," Beca said. "I can see why you'd say that. But, we did select a donor who had red hair. So, he might look more like me but with your hair. That would be pretty cool."

They make their way back home and Chloe fixes them a light lunch. Beca puts the plate on her stomach again. Chloe laughs when she sees the plate bounce and Beca grabbing for it.

"Charlie just kicked me," Beca said with a laugh.

"I don't think he likes you using him as a table," Chloe says.

Later that afternoon, Beca is sitting on the sofa and decides to turn on the TV. Chloe comes in and sits next to her. Beca snuggles into Chloe and puts her head on Chloe's shoulder.

"What are we watching?," Chloe asks.

"I don't care," Beca said. "Maybe we could just Netflix and chill."

Chloe laughed. "You do know what that really means, right?"

"I said what I said," Beca says with a smile and lightly ran her hand up Chloe's thigh.

"Are you trying to seduce me, Mrs. Mitchell?," Chloe asked teasingly.

"I don't know," Beca says holding back a smile. "Is it working?"

"It's definitely working," Chloe says as she kisses Beca and pushes her back on the sofa.

Later as they laid snuggled together Chloe lets out a contented sigh.

"What?," Beca asked.

"I'm just happy," Chloe said. "I always knew I wanted to be a mom. Although, until I was sixteen, I always pictured me pregnant with my husband standing beside me."

"Oh, yeah," Beca said. "What did he look like?"

"Oh, it varied," Chloe said. "He usually looked like whatever singer or actor I was crushing on at the time."

Beca laughed and said. "I honestly never thought of myself as being pregnant. I always pictured my wife as the one carrying our baby."

"And what did she look like?," Chloe asked.

"Michelle Pfeiffer from Grease 2," Beca said. "She's was hot and badass."

"I have to agree with you on that," Chloe said. "Want go for a walk?"

"Not really," Beca said covering a yawn. "I think I'll take a nap."

"Okay," Chloe said. "I'm going to start dinner. I'll wake you when it's ready."

"M'kay," Beca mumbles as she drifts off to sleep.

Beca woke with a start. She felt a little pang in her stomach. She waited to see if it happened again but nothing did.

"Maybe it's just all the spicy food I've been eating," Beca thought to herself. "Speaking of food, whatever Chloe is making smells really good."

Beca gets up and walks (cough*waddles*cough) into the kitchen.

"Oh, hey babe," Chloe said. "I was just coming to wake you. Dinner's ready."

"Mmm, chicken alfredo," Beca said. "My favorite."

"I know," Chloe said. "Gotta keep my woman happy in case Michelle Pfeiffer comes a'knockin'."

"Ha ha," Beca said. "Do we have any Sriracha?"

"Seriously?," Chloe asked.

"Yeah," Beca said. "Ever since I read eating spicy food might help induce labor, I've been craving spicy stuff."

"No, Sriracha," Chloe said looking in the cupboard. "We have some hot sauce."

"I'll take it," Beca said taking the bottle from Chloe. "Thanks."

Later than night, Beca was awakened by another sharp pain in her lower belly. She sat up and held her stomach but the pain was gone as quickly as it had come. She got up and went to the bathroom. She wiped down the counter and straightened the towels before getting into bed and going back to sleep.

"Merry Christmas Eve," Chloe yells as she comes into the bedroom.

Beca opens one eye and looks at her.

"Too loud and too early," Beca says.

"It's nine a.m.," Chloe says. "I let you sleep in but we have things to do, so get up."

"I don't feel so good," Beca says whining. "I don't think I should have put hot sauce on my alfredo."

"Are you okay?," Chloe asked climbing on to the bed and laying next to Beca. "Can I get you anything?"

"No, thanks," Beca said. "Charlie was active during the night so I didn't sleep well. Can I just rest for a bit longer?"

"Of course," Chloe said kissing Beca's cheek.

Chloe got up and took Beca's phone off the charger. She handed Beca her phone.

"I need to do some stuff for the party," Chloe said. "I have to go out and get the centerpieces for the tables. I should only be gone about an hour and then I'll be downstairs until it's time to get ready. Text me if you need me. Okay?"

"Okay," Beca said. "Thanks, babe."

Chloe goes to leave and stops at the door. She looks back at Beca. Beca has already closed her eyes and has a hand holding her lower belly. Chloe smiles and quietly leaves. She heads out and gets the centerpieces. She checks on Beca when she gets back home and finds her sleeping so Chloe goes back downstairs to set up the tables with the centerpieces she picked up.

It was 1:00 and Chloe goes to check on Beca. She finds Beca sitting up with her headphones on. Beca sees her and takes her headphones off.

"You seem to be feeling better," Chloe says sitting next to her on the bed.

"Yeah, I do, actually," Beca said.

"Are you hungry?," Chloe asked. "You haven't eaten anything yet today."

"Can we have something light?," Beca said. "I don't want to spoil my appetite for the amazing food we're going to have at the party."

"I'll make up a quick salad," Chloe said. "Feel up to coming down to eat?"

"Yeah," Beca said. "Help me up, please?"

"Of course, my love," Chloe said and helped Beca to her feet and gave her quick peck on the lips.

"Oh," Beca said and grabbed her lower belly. "I have to pee."

Beca goes into the bathroom. She comes back out a few minutes later.

"Ready," Beca said and she and Chloe went downstairs.

Chloe is putting together the salad and Beca is sitting at the counter. Beca is squirming and can't seem to get comfortable on the stool.

"Why don't you go get comfortable on the sofa," Chloe says. "I'll bring the salad once it's together."

"Thank you," Beca says and goes out to the living room.

Beca feels a pain in her lower back as she goes to sit down. She puts her hand on the spot and rubs it. She sits and tries to find a comfortable position. She finally opts to lay with her head on the arm of the sofa. She turns a bit on her right side and finally sighs as she finds a comfortable position. Chloe brings in her salad and Beca sits up. She puts the plate on her stomach and takes a bit of her salad. She grimaces as she feels slight pain in her lower back.

"You okay?," Chloe asked.

"What? Oh, yeah," Beca said. "Just sitting up isn't very comfortable."

"Well, finish your salad," Chloe said. "Then you can lay back down."

"Will you lay with me?," Beca asked.

"Sure, I can lay with you for a little bit," Chloe said.

They finished their salads and Chloe took their plates to the kitchen. She came back and Beca was trying to find a comfortable position.

"Here," Chloe said and laid back against the arm of the sofa. "Lay between my legs and use me as a pillow."

Beca did as Chloe said and she got comfortable. She let out a sigh.

"Better?," Chloe asked.

"Much," Beca replied.

Chloe ran her fingers through Beca's hair and it wasn't long before Beca was asleep. Chloe sat there, just relaxing with Beca. They had been laying there for about an hour when the doorbell rang.

"Babe," Chloe said trying to wake Beca. "The caterers are here. I need you to sit up so I can answer the door."

Beca opens her eyes and pushes herself up.

"Okay," Beca says. "I have to pee anyway."

They both get up and Chloe goes to let the caterer in. She leads them to the kitchen and discusses how and where she wants the food set up. She goes to check on Beca and she is sitting on the sofa.

"I won't be in the way here, will I?," Beca asks. "I can go upstairs."

"No, you're fine," Chloe says. "I'd rather have you down here where I can keep an eye on you. You look a little pale."

"I feel fine," Beca reassured her. "But, I'll stay here. I'm just going to find something to watch."

"I'll watch with you," Chloe said. "The caterer is doing their thing and they know where I am if they need anything."

"Good," Beca said.

Chloe and Beca settled down and decided to watch "Grey's Anatomy" on Netflix. The caterer came out a few times with some questions, but they were left alone for the most part. It was now almost 5:30 and Chloe suggested they start getting ready for the party. Stacie and Aubrey were arriving at 7:00 to bring the beverages.

Chloe leads Beca upstairs and tells her to get in the shower first. While Beca does that, Chloe lays out their outfits on the bed. Beca comes out, wrapped in a towel. She is holding her stomach and Chloe looks at her.

"I'm fine," Beca said. "Go take your shower."

Chloe hesitates for a minute but then goes into the bathroom. Beca dries her hair and goes over to the bed to start getting dressed. She reaches for her bra and feels a sharp in her lower belly. She puts her hand where the pain is and it takes almost a minute before the pain subsides.

"Wow," Beca said.

Beca manages to get her bra and panties on when she is hit with another pain. She sits on the bed, one hand on her lower back and the other holding her side.

"Chloe!," Beca calls out and Chloe comes rushing out of the bathroom.

"What's wrong?," Chloe asks.

"I think I might be in labor," Beca says.

"Oh, my gosh," Chloe says. "I'm going to call Dr. Montgomery to see if we need to take you to the hospital now."

Chloe gets on the phone and Dr. Montgomery tells her its sounds like Beca may be in the early stages of labor. That unless the pains are less than five minutes a part they have awhile, especially if her water hasn't broken.

"What should we do?," Chloe asked.

"For now, nothing," Dr. Montgomery tells her. "You should take her to the hospital when her water breaks, or she is having steady contractions every five minutes, or less, that last for about a minute."

Chloe thanked the doctor and hung up. She looked at Beca who had finished dressing and seemed to be fine.

"Let me know when you feel another contraction," Chloe said. "Or if your water breaks."

"Okay," Beca said. "I'm okay now. It's been over 20 minutes since I last felt anything."

Beca and Chloe finish getting ready. They head downstairs just as the doorbell rings and Stacie and Aubrey arrive.

"Hey, Beca," Stacie says. "Are you okay? You look a little anxious."

"I'm kind of in labor," Beca said. "Early stages so nothing to worry about yet."

"Oh, my God," Stacie squeals. "You're going to have a Christmas baby."

"You're in labor?," Aubrey asks. "Shouldn't you be on your way to the hospital?"

"No," Chloe says. "We called Dr. Montgomery and she said we didn't need to go yet. I just have to keep an eye on her."

"We'll help you watch her," Stacie said. "What do we need to look for?"

"Well, the obvious thing is her water breaking," Chloe said. "The other is how often she has a contraction. When they become steady and five minutes apart, we need to go."

"Got it," Stacie said.

The party is in full swing and Beca seems to be doing okay. She does have a few pains here and there. The only thing constant is the pain in her lower back. She is in the kitchen bent over from a really strong pain that came about five minutes after the last one. She thinks it might be time to really start timing them better. She goes back out to the party to find Chloe but runs into Fat Amy first.

"Hey, shortstack," Amy says stumbling a little. "Too bad you can't drink. My surprise punch is better than ever."

Amy starks poking at Beca's stomach.

"Stop it," Beca says smacking at Amy's hands.

"It's so hard," Amy says still poking. "I thought it would be soft and mushy."

"Ahhhh," Beca yells through gritted teeth.

"Amy, what did you do?," Stacie asks rushing over.

"Nothing," Amy says. "I was just poking her."

"Amy, go get Chloe," Stacie said and the blonde Aussie staggered off. "Becs, are you having a contraction?"

"Yesssss," Beca said. "I just had one about five minutes ago in the kitchen."

"I think it's time to go to the hospital," Stacie says looking around for Chloe.

"Not yet," Beca says. "Not until my water-"

"Becs?," Stacie asks. "What-. Oh, my God. CHLOE!"

Chloe was talking to Jessica and Ashley when she heard Stacie scream out her name. Her head whips around and she sees Stacie holding Beca's arm.

"Oh, shit," Chloe says and rushes over to Beca. "Ewww."

"My water broke," Beca said.

At this point everybody is surrounding the couple offering words of encouragement to Beca.

"Okay," Chloe said. "Let's go. Stace, could you go up and get her hospital bag from the closet? Brey, help me get her to the car. The rest of you, just enjoy the party. We'll call as soon as we know something."

Everyone clears a path and Aubrey and Chloe are helping Beca out to the car. Stacie comes rushing down as they get to the door.

"I'll drive," Stacie says and opens her car door. "Brey, maybe you should stay and keep the party from getting out of hand."

"Good idea," Aubrey said. "I'll bring Chloe's car to the hospital after everyone goes home."

Chloe gets in the backseat with Beca, and Stacie heads for the hospital. Chloe calls Dr. Montgomery to let her know what was going on and tells her that they were on the way to the hospital. Dr. Montgomery said she would see them there.

Chloe leads Beca into the hospital with Stacie following behind carrying Beca's bag. The nurse greets them and takes them to a birthing room. She and another nurse get Beca set up with a fetal monitor and take her blood pressure and temperature.

"Dr. Montgomery called ahead," one of the nurses. "She should be here shortly."

The nurse went back over to check the monitors. Beca grabs her stomach and lets out a groan.

"This is a strong one," the nurse says. She times it and watches the monitor closely.

Chloe is standing by Beca's bed holding her hand.

"This is it, babe," Chloe says with a tear in her eye. "Charlie will be here for Christmas."

Dr. Montgomery comes into the birthing room and checks with the nurse before checking Beca.

"Okay, Beca," Dr. Montgomery says. "Let's see what's happening?"

Dr. Montgomery does a pelvic check and raises her eyebrows in surprise.

"How long have you been in labor?," Dr. Montgomery asks.

"I guess since this morning," Beca said. "I started feeling some pains last night, but nothing substantial until this morning."

"Well, I think you actually started last night," Dr. Montgomery says. "You're already 8 cm dilated and 100% effaced."

"Really?," Beca and Chloe both exclaim.

"Really," Dr. Montgomery tells them. "Looks like you'll be mothers soon."

Aubrey joins them, letting them know that a few of the Bellas were staying at the house because they were too drunk to drive home. Other than that, everything was cleaned up so they didn't have to worry about that when they got home.

The nurse continues to monitor Beca's contractions and they are getting closer and much stronger. Dr. Montgomery comes in and examines Beca.

"Get ready, ladies," the doctor says. "We're about to deliver a baby."

Things start moving at a faster pace. Chloe is holding Beca's hand and whispering words of comfort to her. Dr. Montgomery is telling Beca to push. Beca pushes and screams. Chloe holds her hand and continues cheering her on.

"I need one more big push from you, Beca," Dr. Montgomery tells her. "You're almost there."

"Come on, Becs," Chloe says. "One big push. Baby, you can do it!"

"I can't," Beca says as she lays back exhausted. "No more."

"Come on, Beca," Dr. Montgomery says. "Just one more big push and you'll see your son."

"Okay," Beca says and pushes with everything she has.

"He's out," Dr. Montgomery says and Beca flops back on the bed. "Chloe, do you want to cut the umbilical cord?"

"Yes," Chloe says and takes the scissors from Dr. Montgomery.

"Right there," the doctor points out and Chloe makes the cut.

She goes back up to Beca's side with tears streaming down her face.

"He's beautiful, Becs," Chloe says.

The nurse wraps Charlie up and hands him to Beca.

"Look at him," Beca said through her tears. "He does look like me."

"Yeah, he does," Chloe says. "And he'll be a badass, just like his mommy."

"He is a Christmas baby," Stacie said pointing to the clock.

"Well, then allow me to make proper introductions," Chloe said. "Aubrey and Stacie, may we present to you, your Godson, Charles Adam Mitchell. Born at 12:18 am on December 25, 2017."

Chloe hands Charlie to Aubrey. Stacie looks over Aubrey's shoulder at their Godson.

"Merry Christmas, Charlie," Aubrey says.

"And, Happy Birth Day," Stacie says.
