Hey everyone! Welcome back to this fanfiction (: I reached over a hundred reviews, and that made me ecstatic! Keep 'em coming guys! So I figured I could reply to some of my lovely reviews. So here we go:
jellybean96: For sure we can be each other's v-tine's. Even though February was like forever ago… Whoo go being forever alone!
Neko-chan2604: I have no idea what a flying ballsack is. Ask my brother…it's his favorite expression. He called me one once… still don't know what the hell he was talking about.
thecurlingiron: JENNA MARBLES FANS UNITE. Have you ever tried the face on someone? I did it to some creep in my math class and he hasn't talked to me since. Jenna Marbles' saves lives (:
MissLiv: I actually based the Swanson kids off my step-siblings. There are three of them, two boys and a girl. The only difference is that my nerdy brother is the oldest, not the middle child. But yeah, my dad totally does all that stuff too!
becc-gallanter: YOU MET. SKYLAR ASTIN. OMFG. That is amazing. But I actually wouldn't want to meet him, just cause I would probably pass out and/or not be able to form coherent sentences. And then I would be forever embarrassed. But I'm so jealous! That rocks!
TrainOfThought15: Grandma Beca would be seriously badass.
Thank you to everyone for reviewing and saying sweet things like you're attached to these kids because truthfully I am too (: I love writing about them, and as long as you love them too, I'll keep doing it! Also a huge thanks to all of your suggestions. I'm working on them! And also your quotes! I added them all to my folder. I really appreciate the support! On a completely random note…I don't know if any of you have seen Tangled, but it's my favorite Disney movie and I'm ridiculously obsessed. So when I went to Disney World last week for my sixteenth birthday (which rocked by the way) and I met Rapunzel I got really excited. It made my week. She is such a badass with her frying pan! Sorry for this ridiculously long author's note…
I don't own Pitch Perfect. If I did I would have made Rapunzel make a guest appearance in the movie and she and Beca would have knocked Bumper out with their frying pans.
Episode 12: What We Do on Movication Nights
"Now this, this is exciting." Jesse grinned as he popped in a movie, grabbed the popcorn and settled comfortably next to Beca on the couch.
Beca was currently occupied though, contently cradling the miracle she held in her arms, by the name of Joshua Ryan Swanson. He was beautiful. He was a perfect combination of the two of them, and Beca couldn't be more thrilled. He had her nose... And Jesse's eyes... And she could just go on forever.
"You okay over there, Becs?" Jesse asked with a soft look in his eyes. Her eyes met his and she leaned in and placed a tender kiss to his lips, then settled back into the couch. "Yeah. Let's start the movie."
"The Lion King, 1994. Directed by Rodger Allers and Rob Minkoff. One of the greatest Disney films of all time." Jesse explained wistfully. "Fun fact for you, the movie was loosely based off of William Shakespeare's popular play, Hamlet." He grinned like the goofy dork he was.
"I've seen the movie before, Jess." Beca laughed and leaned back into the couch, careful not to wake Josh.
"I wasn't talking to you." Jesse shrugged and pinched Josh's curled up toes. "Oh god." Beca laughed heartily.
"Besides, what's the point of this? He's not going to understand any of it anyway." She pointed out. "We could watch that new apocalypse movie."
"We wouldn't want to corrupt him early with bloodshed and sex scenes!" Jesse informed her and she laughed at his sincerity. "We're starting movication early. I almost got to you too late... Wouldn't want the same thing to happen with this little troublemaker."
"Don't you mean...treble-maker?" Beca displayed a half-smirk and Jesse held in a laugh. "Oh wow, that was a bad one. Motherhood must be starting early." She shook her head.
"Oh but Bec, it's already started." A smirk grew on Jesse face and Beca could hardly concentrate as Jesse started to kiss and nibble and... God only knows what the man was doing.
"Jess, I'm with child." She pulled back.
"You crush my dreams." Jesse pouted and Beca caved, "Later, yeah?"
Jesse pressed play and the small family proceeded to watch the familiar film. When it got to the part where Rafiki lifts Simba in the air, a smile grew on Beca's face.
"Remember when Josh was born and as soon as you got to hold him, you lifted him into the air and shouted, 'the circle of life'?" Beca snickered, turning to look at Jesse. "The nurse had to take him away because of health hazards." Jesse smiled a little, but kept his attention on the screen.
"Jesse." Beca leaned over and started to pepper kisses on Jesse's neck, careful to not hurt Josh in the process. Beca noticed that in times of passion and love she called her husband Jesse, and casually she called him Jess, nerd, or weirdo.
"Beca… What are you doing?" He asked, not tearing his eyes away from the screen. On the contrary, Jesse called her Beca casually or when he was watching a movie. He called her Bec in times of affection, which was usually all the time.
Beca continued on her mission to get Jesse to pay attention to her. "Why could you not do this fifteen minutes ago when the movie was not playing?" He asked in exasperation.
She ignored him and continued on her way. He rolled his eyes and crashed his lips to hers anyway. She smiled against his lips in satisfaction. She had done it.
She carefully laid Josh beside her on the couch with his head propped up. But as soon as she turned back to Jesse a swift cry filled the room. "Well... Shit." Beca frowned. Jesse just laughed, picked Josh up and started to rock him. Beca stood up and started to get the things ready so that she could breast-feed Josh. When she returned to the living room, she grabbed the remote and paused Rafiki's squashed banana song, and was reunited with her son.
Beca made her way back to the nursery and settled in the rocker. Things had gone by so fast. It felt like just yesterday she had serenaded Jesse at Lincoln Center and regained his trust. Thus beginning their inevitable relationship. There were bumps in the road; they did break up once or twice. But neither of them could last more than a month without the other brightening their day. And that, Beca discovered somewhere during one of their fights, is when you know you're meant to be with someone. Even now she knew that this baby in her arms was meant to be, and that must be why Jesse was the guy for her. To bring Josh into the world.
"Can you feel the love tonight?" She sang softly and Josh stared up at her blankly. "The world for once in perfect harmony. With all its living things." She stroked his cheek and smiled absently.
"So many things to tell her," Beca looked up and saw Jesse leaning against the doorframe singing Simba's part, causing her to roll her eyes. "But how to make her see," By this point he had swooped a sleeping Josh into his arms and laid him in his crib carefully. "The truth about my past, impossible. She'd turn away from me." He offered his hand out to Beca and smiled.
She didn't want to give him the satisfaction, but his pleading eyes and beautiful voice got in the way and she just...So she grunted a reply but grabbed his hand anyway. And before she knew it, they were dancing. She leaned her head on his shoulder and started to sing softly, "He's holding back, he's hiding. But what I can't decide. Why won't he be the king I know he is? The king I see inside." Jesse twirled her around causing her to let out a surprised giggle.
And in that moment she felt nineteen again.
"Why can't moments like these last forever?" She asked quietly leaning her head back on his shoulder.
"If these moments lasted forever, we wouldn't get to experience the new ones... Now would we?" He kissed her temple and they faced the crib, gazing at their creation.
"I love you." She murmured as he wrapped an arm around her.
"I love you too." A smile formed on her face, "And I am so proud of you."
"He's beautiful." Beca said wistfully. Jesse turned his head to look at her and she let out a laugh. "I swear to god, Jesse if you say, 'he got it from his mother,' I will inflict the pain."
Jesse's laugh sounded something between a combination of church bells and one of his piano tunes. "Didn't he though?"
