A/N: In which Beca and Chloe announce the news of their pregnancy to the world and the Bellas blow up Twitter!
This was just some stupid fun I hand imagining Beca as being moderately famous and announcing the news in true Beca Effin' Mitchell style and then it was just more fun to imagine the Bellas Twitter responses. So yeah...
"Are you ready?" Beca asked, her phone in one hand and Chloe's hand clasped in the other.
"Ready!" Chloe confirmed with a grin.
"Alright let's do this...ish," she corrected at Chloe's preemptive glare. She tapped the post icon and the loading symbol appeared over the picture on her screen.
They had decided that now Chloe was 5 months gone, and seemed to be getting more pregnant looking by the day, it was time to publicly announce their pregnancy to the fans. Beca was big news as a producer with a decent sized fanbase and she wanted to announce their good news before a tabloid rag caught the story and took it out of their hands. She had posted a picture she had taken last week of Chloe in her yoga gear. She was smiling that thousand watt smile that Beca had fallen in love with and her bump was clearly visible in the tight tank top. The caption read 'an announcement from the Beale-Mitchell's: we are delighted to confirm that we will be adding another to our line up in June this year. #newarrival #badassmother- #howhotismypregnantwife' and included a link to a mix she had spent a good chunk of the day before making. It was a cover the Ronettes 'be my baby' with a sample of herself singing Justin Beiber's 'baby' and while it wasn't something she'd normally like she had to admit she kind of loved it.
The loading symbol changed to a tick signalling that the announcement was now online for all to see. She kissed her wife and opened her Twitter to cross post the announcement.
"Done!" She smiled triumphantly putting her phone down for a few minutes sure that the notifications from both apps would both be blowing up soon. She was so happy to finally be sharing the news. Despite ordinarily being a very private person and not posting much about her private life she was so excited to let the world know Chloe was carrying her baby. She knew her fans were extremely supportive of her relationship with Chloe and she even felt a little proud that she could be, not a role model but perhaps an encouraging presence to her fans in the LGBTQ+ community.
"Wow that was fast!" Chloe chuckled as barely two minutes after Beca had posted the announcement she received a notification about it.
"Well we are 'goals' after all," Beca shrugged, a smug smirk pulling at the corner of her mouth.
"I should have guessed," Chloe chuckled, turning her phone to show Beca the tweet, a retweet if Beca's original tweet from Emily.
'So happy I don't have to keep it a secret anymore! I'm going to be a #aca-aunt! Delighted for djB(b)Mitch and chloebmitch'
Another notification sounded on Chloe's phone; Fat Amy had added to Emily's tweet.
'Fingers crossed its not another ginger! I want my aca-niece to have a soul!'
"Why are we friends with these people again?" Beca scrunched her face up and shook her head.
"Because you love those awesome nerds!" Chloe reminded her with a giggle. She leaned in to capture her wife's lips in a loving kiss breaking apart when her phone vibrated from a new notification. This time it was Stacie adding to the conversation.
'Does this mean I can officially call dibs on godmother?'
Followed quickly by a response from Aubrey.
'Fight me Conrad that is my aca-godchild!'
A second tweet from the blonde came through immediately after.
'Those hashtags, really Beca? Chloe I thought you had better control over your wife!'
"There's going to be a Battle Royale over who gets to be this little ones godmother!" Chloe laughed.
"I'll put $20 down on General Posen!" Beca chuckled; she knew first hand that the blonde former captain was ferocious and fought dirty when necessary. "And what was wrong with my hashtags?"
"Nothing! I thought they were cute," Chloe rubbed Beca's arm placatingly. She kissed her once more before typing her own tweet.
' JunkLegacy theREALfatamy aerospacestacie aubreyposen Thanks everyone. You guys are all going to be awesome aca-aunts! :)'
"If my phone is this crazy yours must be blowing up!" Chloe remarked, knowing Beca had practically all her notifications turned off for this very reason. Once she started gaining popularity as a producer her phone had began constantly lighting up with a like or comment on some social media site or other; it had led to her almost throwing her phone out the window until Chloe showed her how to make them stop.
"Let's see, shall we?" She picked up her phone and opened it. "Yeah that's 75 likes and 40 comments on Instagram and wow 130 faves and 89 retweets on Twitter in what just under 10 minutes. I think that's a new record."
"Wow! That's more than your surprise mix tape you dropped last year!" Chloe hummed thoughtfully. It was kind of amazing to her that Beca's fans were as excited about their baby news as they were about Beca's work. "What is the reaction like?"
"Lots of support and congratulations, a lot of fan girling about 'family goals' and shi-ish tons of emojis," Beca chuckled. "Oh look Snoop commented."
Chloe had to laugh at how casually Beca mentioned the fact that Snoop Dogg had congratulated them on their baby news. She made her way to Beca's social media and scrolled through the comments herself. "Your fans are very sweet!"
Beca hummed her agreement. She was glad to finally have made the announcement and was feeling quite overwhelmed by the outpouring of support and happiness for them. Not that she'd ever admit that; she has a reputation to uphold after all. Chloe laughed as another notification came through from Fat Amy.
'That's sweet & all Ginge but you didn't settle the godmother debate. I mean maybe someone else would like to do it but are too shy to say'
"Can a child have like 8 godmothers?" Beca asked curiously.
"Ours might have to," Chloe laughed.
