Hey everyone! Sorry this update is kind of late, I had quite the busy weekend. So here's to hoping there's a snow day tomorrow! (Although I doubt it, our high school has never had a snow day. Like ever.) But anyway here's the next one, I hope you enjoy!

I don't own PP. Or Jesse's jacket dance move. (Which I have attempted and failed at many parties.)

Episode 8: What We Do When Our Baby Cries

Beca fell onto her bed in exhaustion. The Swansons' schedule was insane. She spent the day driving Josh around to basketball practice and Aiden to his student council meeting. And then of course the two just had to have doctor's appointments. Plus, Jesse had a giant meeting about the finality of the track for that huge new score he finally finished working on. So since he was busy with that, Beca had to deal with the kids on her own.

And to top it all off, eleven month Madi was having a particularly bad day. And when the baby of the house had a bad day, everyone had a bad day.

"I am exhausted." Beca moaned as she snuggled into her husband's side, exhaling slowly.

"I know. But the day's over now. Tomorrow's a new day!" He said reassuringly and kissed her hair.

"Ugh. Your cheerfulness is feeding my hate fire." She mumbled into Jesse's side.

He just chuckled and kissed her forehead. "Good night, Beca."

They settled into a comfortable silence. Tomorrow was a new day. Maybe it would be better. Plus, it was a Friday so the boys didn't have meetings or practices. And maybe, just maybe, little Madison would sleep-

And then perfectly, just in that moment a shrill cry whipped through the house. Beca immediately groaned and pulled a pillow over her face. "I swear on everything that's holy-"

"Don't worry, Bec." Jesse put a hand on her shoulder to keep her from getting up, "I got this."

Beca was so tired that she didn't have it in her to argue. She just collapsed back onto the bed and rubbed her temples as Jesse stumbled out of the room.

Jesse made his way two doors down the hallway to their daughter's room. He flipped on the light switch and half-smiled at his daughter who was rolling around, tears streaming down her little face. He swiftly swooped her into his arms and cradled her as he made an effort to calm her down. "Sh, sh, baby it's okay." He took a seat on the white rocker and she calm down a little. He continued to rock her slowly.

"Why don't you like sleep? Sleep is good. Mommy likes sleep, daddy likes sleep," He took a moment to give her a look and she stared at him blankly in reply, "And your brothers like sleep. It may not seem like fun at first, but trust me, you'll come to love it!" Her blue eyes blinked and a couple of silent tears ran down her face.

"What's wrong, princess? What can daddy do?" He asked her quietly and she murmured something that was distinctly different from her usual jibber jabber, "Tee, tee."

"What? Is that a first word I hear? Common, Mads! What are you trying to tell Daddy?" A grin grew on Jesse's excited face.

"It. Tee." She said louder, and Jesse's grin grew wider. "BECA GET IN HERE!"

"Common, you got this! Keep trying!" He encouraged her.

"Tee, tee!" She tried a little more forcefully, and Beca fumbled into the room. "Wha-"

Madi reached her hands out for Beca and she picked her up. "What is it, Madi?"

"It. Tee!" A smile formed on the little girl's face. "What the hell is an it tee-"

"Bec! She's trying to say something! Think of something that contains itty!" Jesse's eyes grew wide and his wife's mouth formed and "o" shape.

"Um... Bitty? Witty? Pretty?" Madi's baby blues grew extremely wide, and Beca knew she had hit the jackpot. "Pretty. She's saying pretty, Jess!" Her face lit up and she leaned gingerly over to kiss Jesse quickly. "I'm not following..."

"I sang her a song today! As we were getting ready for day...Because she looked so adorable and pretty..." She trailed off and Jesse raised a curious eyebrow. "West Side Story, dork! Oh wow, I can't believe it!" She nuzzled her baby's nose and Madi's baby smile grew impossibly wide.

Beca carefully placed Madi back in Jesse's arms and proceeded to dance around the room. "I feel pretty! Oh so pretty!" She waltzed around the room and Madi's giggles filled the room as Jesse watched in awe. "I feel pretty, and witty, and bright!"

She grabbed a pink boa from the floor and tossed it around her neck, as her joyful aura lit up the room. "And I pity," She put on a fake pout, "Any girl, who isn't me tonight!" She spun around and went back to her husband and picked up their daughter, giving her a kiss on the cheek.

She giggled, "Tee, tee!"

After a couple repeated rounds of "Tee, tee," and a few headaches later, Madi was contently asleep in her crib as the parents were in theirs.

Beca snuggled into Jesse's side once again, and she couldn't help the smile that grew on her face. "Our daughter's not pretty. She's beautiful." She said wistfully.

"As is her mother." Jesse smiled and pecked Beca on the lips, "I've turned you into quite the movie buff, haven't I?"

"That's debatable," Beca quipped, "Have I turned you into a mix buff?"

"Of course." Jesse replied honestly, "I've also been turned into a Beca buff."

"Okay now you're just getting cheesy." Beca shoved his side playfully and closed her eyes once again. A comfortable silence settled around the room minutes later. Beca turned onto her side, her back still in the comfort of Jesse's arms and whispered, "But for the record, I think I've become quite the Jesse buff too."

She didn't know if he was asleep, but Beca could almost feel the radiant smile that she knew had since grown on his lips.

Thanks for all your motivation and support! I will update when I can. I don't own West Side Story either. So…yeah. Reviews would make my day (:
