Hola everyone! Sorry it took me longer than I had hoped to update, but I had some guy drama and yeah…well…yeah. And school kind of came on full force so that's where I've been. But I hope you all are doing well! Here's the next episode for you (: Kudos to guest Lizzy for the idea!
I don't own Pitch Perfect. If I did it would have been as long as Les Miserables.
Episode 6: What We Do When "Surprising the Parents" Backfires
"We need to do something."
"Like what? They seem kind of...um...occupied."
"Why is mommy attached to daddy?"
"Shhh!" Aiden and Josh hushed their little sister as she continued to look confused.
"They're um...playing a game." Josh offered.
"Yeah. They're just rough-housing." Aiden assured Madi, with a hand on her arm.
"I thought we were going to surprise them." Madi crossed her arms in agitation.
"We were," Josh pondered, "But I guess it's not really the best time right now to interrupt them."
The three kids were gathered behind the couch in their roomy living space. The couch on the opposite side of the room was currently occupied though. They returned early from a trip to their grandparents, and were hoping to surprise their parents. But then of course...
"Go to bed, Mads." Aiden pointed towards the hallway.
"Why? This is fun!" She giggled and the two boys shushed her again.
"Go to bed." Josh leaned in close to her face and tried for a menacing older brother stare. Unfortunately for him, to everyone else it just looked like a sad puppy had just gotten his bone stolen.
"Fine. Can you tuck me in?" She pleaded.
The two boys just shoved her towards the hallway and she muttered something unintelligible as she stomped towards her room. Luckily for them, their parents seemed too busy to notice anything suspicious, such as people wandering freely around their house.
"Jesse," They heard their mom mutter as the kids crouched once again behind the couch opposite their parents.
"You have me, always." Their dad mumbled before they closed gaps.
"God. This is disturbing." Josh grimaced.
"We need to do something before certain bounds are crossed." Aiden replied, still in shock.
"Maybe surprise them somehow? Snap them out of it?" Josh proposed.
"Yeah, definitely. I'll come up with a word or common expression, and then we'll both jump up at the same time." Aiden explained and Josh nodded in agreement. "On three?"
"One, two, three!" They said softly together then jumped up, facing their parents. "ALIENS! DUCK AND COVER!"
"Holy!" Jesse sprung off Beca and fell onto the floor, and their kids could have sworn they heard a crack.
"Fucking, aliens! I knew this day would come..." He moaned, rolling over on the floor dramatically.
Beca just met their guilty looking sons' eyes and raised a curious eyebrow.
"Aliens...really?" Josh hissed at Aiden and he just shrugged. "It's a normal, casual-"
"What are you two doing home?" Their mom scolded, standing up off the couch.
"We um, got home from grandma's early. We were hoping to surprise you." Aiden offered.
"Congrats. You succeeded." Jesse cried childishly from the floor, still refusing to get up.
"Where's Madi?" Beca asked, sighing deeply.
"Bed." Josh replied shortly. "G'nite you two." He grabbed his brother's hand and started to drag him to their room. "Make good choices!" He called from the end of the hall.
"Why did we have children?" Jesse asked curiously, still facing flat against the floor.
"Hey, it was your idea." Beca knelt down beside him, and patted his back mockingly.
"I was drunk." Jesse rolled over onto his back so he could look up at his wife, "I didn't know what the hell I was saying."
"Well you did pass the sobriety test." Beca smirked, her gaze turning wistful.
"Touché." Her husband grinned, despite his current condition.
Beca laid down beside him and placed her head on his chest. "So, aliens huh?"
Jesse scoffed. "I think the more important question is what are we going to tell them in the morning?"
Beca twisted her head to look at him, shrugged, and then closed her eyes as she laid it against his chest once again.
The morning was still hours away. They had all night to figure it out on the living room floor.
Thanks for reading! Sorry it was on the shorter side. Review and have a great rest of the week (:
