Since Christmas In Washington would take place in December 11th, three days after Sophie's birthday, the family agreed they would celebrate that in Washington, DC.

Beca had already chosen a long white strapless dress for the event, while Charlotte was going to wear her red dress and a black tiara.

Beca was gonna sing first while Charlotte waited in the wings, then they would both sing together.

Charlotte was nervous. She had rehearsed the song over and over with her mom. It was the same song she sang in her school play, so she knew it word by word.

After Beca finished singing Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas, she took a bow with a smile to the audience before she went to the wings to meet Charlotte. The little brunette was applauding with a huge smile on her face and Beca hugged her tight.

"I'm nervous, mommy." Charlotte said. "What if they don't like me?"

"They'll love you." Beca smiled. "I promise, baby. Your voice is amazing, they will love you."

Charlotte offered Beca a small smile before the big brunette kissed her forehead.

"Ready to go?"

Charlotte nodded and Beca held her hand tight when they were called. Charlotte already had her microphone in hand as she walked with her mom to the center of the stage.

Charlotte let go of Beca's hand as the song began and they smiled at each other before Beca started singing;

"Silent night, Holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon virgin, mother and child
Holy infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace"

Charlotte took a deep, shaky breath before she brought the microphone closer to her lips.

"Silent night, Holy night
Son of God, love's pure light
Radiant beams from thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus, lord at birth
Jesus, lord at birth"

Beca smiled at her daughter before they got ready to sing the next verse together;

"Glories stream from Heaven above
Heavenly, hosts sing Hallelujah
Christ the savior is born
Christ the savior is born"

As they finished, they took a bow as the audience applauded like crazy. Charlotte's smile was so beautiful and bright, it almost brought tears to Beca's eyes. She knew somewhere in the audience, Chloe was bawling her eyes out.

When they were on the wings and out of camera sight, Bega hugged Charlotte tight.

"See Char? You were amazing! They loved you!" Beca said.

"Thank you, mommy!" Charlotte said and even she had tears rolling down her cheeks.

Beca smiled and wiped her tears.

"I love you, baby."

Charlotte smiled and hugged Beca tight.

"I love you too, mommy." She mumbled against her mother's dress.

oO0Oo

In January, Beca, Chloe, Aubrey and Stacie decided to rent the same cabin and go back to Colorado. Now, Aubrey was 5 months pregnant, her bump wasn't that big yet but it was growing. She was still allowed and able to do stuff — like tie her shoes herself — so she was glad about that, it meant she could play in the snow with her now 1 year and six months old son.

This time, they all took the same flight so they got to the house at the same time. When Sophie saw all the snow outside, she was crazy to go play with it but Beca and Chloe said they should have to settle in before anyone could play in the snow.

Since they arrived just after lunch, the four women unpacked, settled in and, since Sophie and Joel were glued to the window to the backyard, they got the two ready to go outside to play in the snow.

Beca, of course, decided to hang back and make something to eat. She was also gonna make some hot chocolate and go to the store for a few things.

"Hey Char, Soph, do you guys want something to eat?" Beca asked before the two went outside.

"No thanks." Charlotte said.

"What about you, Soph?" Beca asked.

"Can I eat potatoes?" Sophie grinned.

"You want.. potatoes..? At 2 o'clock in the afternoon..?" Beca narrowed her eyes.

"Yes!" Sophie grinned.

"Maybe later okay?" Beca said and Sophie pouted.

"Fow snack?" Sophie asked.

Beca chuckled and rolled her eyes.

"Sure." She said and Sophie started jumping.

Sophie left to go play with Chloe and her aunts in the snow while Charlotte stayed behind. She approached her mom quietly.

"Mommy?" She asked.

"Yeah?"

"Can I.. I'm growing up and.." Charlotte looked nervous. "Can I start calling you 'mom'?"

Beca's eyes shot up and filled with tears as she looked back at her oldest daughter.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you cry!" Charlotte immediately ran to Beca's side and hugged her.

"Oh, sweetie don't worry." Beca said. "I'm just.. I can't believe you're growing up."

"Yeah." Charlotte said. "But what can I call mamma?"

Beca thought as she wiped her tears.

"Ma?" She suggested. "I mean you used to call her Ma when you were a baby anyways."

"Oooh okay!" Charlotte said. "Okay, thanks! Mom."

Beca's eyes filled with tears again as Charlotte smiled and waved before going out to the backyard.

oO0Oo

Beca didn't know what possessed her for her to actually cook potatoes for Sophie as a snack. The little redhead had developed an obsession with potatoes lately and she would ask for them at any given opportunity.

Beca was sipping on her hot chocolate as she waited for her wife, kids and friends to come back inside.

Sophie came in, to her surprise, wearing her cute snow suit, and she went straight for the stove and smiled.

"Potatoes awe potatoing." She said.

Beca burst out laughing.

"Baby, potato is not a verb." Beca said. "The potatoes are cooking."

Sophie frowned.

"No, they awe potatoing!" She insisted.

Beca laughed.

"They're almost done." Beca said. "Wanna go take your suit off?"

"I be naked?" Sophie grinned.

Yeah, Sophie had also developed an obsession with being naked. She would dance and run around the house naked and she found that hilarious.

"No, you're gonna have clothes." Beca said.

Sophie pouted again.

"If you want to eat your potatoes that are potatoing, you have to wear clothes." Beca said.

"Otay." Sophie said.

Beca giggled. Sophie was such a goofball, Beca couldn't help but wonder if Chloe was like that when she was a toddler.

Chloe got the girls changed so Beca could monitor the potatoing potatoes.

Sophie ate her potato without even cutting it, she grabbed the whole thing and started eating it, as if it was an apple.

Charlotte actually did eat an apple while giving her little sister weird looks.

"Hey Aubrey did you find out the sex of the baby yet?" Beca asked.

"Next appointment. Fingers crossed." Stacie said.

"That's awesome." Chloe smiled. "Have you started thinking about names?"

"Well, we like Nathan, for a boy, and Natalie, for a girl." Stacie said.

"Those are equally beautiful." Chloe smiled.

"You know, we don't have that issue, because we already know what we're gonna have." Beca said.

"Wait so you are pregnant?!" Stacie asked.

"Dude I thought you guys knew!" Beca said.

"Chloe only told us you were trying again, nobody told us anything after that!" Aubrey said.

"Oh my God! Sorry, I guess we were too busy celebrating. If you know what I mean." Beca smirked.

"I'm so sorry guys, we completely forgot!" Chloe said.

"Mommy is pwegnant. Aunt Bee is pwegnant too." Sophie said, holding her half eaten potato.

"Why didn't you tell us, little lady?" Stacie asked with arms crossed.

Sophie managed to shrug with a funny looking face.

"Sowwy, I fogot." Sophie said.

"That's so cool, guys, congratulations!" Stacie grinned.

Joel grinned too and clapped.

"So who's gonna be a big brother?" Chloe asked Joel.

"Me!" The baby said with a grin. That was one of the 7 words he knew. Along those were no, mommy, mamma and milky, Coe and Beca.

"Really? Are you excited?" Chloe asked and Joel grinned and clapped.

Chloe smiled and kissed the top of his head.

Sophie finished eating her potato and burped loudly from the end of the table, causing everyone to look at her. She just grinned.

"Sophie, you gotta say 'excuse me' when you burp." Beca reminded her.

"Ecuse-y me." Sophie said.

"Our daughter has a monster living inside her." Beca said to Chloe.

"I'm a monter!" Sophie said and roared, making claws and a scary face.

"You're the most adorable, cutest monster ever." Beca chuckled.

Sophie wiped her hand with her napkin before hopping off of the chair she was kneeling on.

"Where are you going, baby?" Chloe asked.

"I have go pee pee." Sophie informed.

"You don't need anyone to go with you?" Chloe frowned.

"No." Sophie informed and left the kitchen.

"Don't forget to flush the toilet!" Chloe reminded.

"Otay!" Sophie said.

"Were you this dorky when you were little?" Beca asked.

"Yeah." Chloe said.

"She is just like you then." Beca chuckled.

"And I'm just like mom. Except mom was grumpy." Charlotte said.

"I was not grumpy." Beca said. "I was naughty. I was always on timeout."

"Oooh so I'm a better girl than you, mom." Charlotte said.

"You definitely are. Don't change." Beca said and Charlotte grinned.

"I won't, I promise." Charlotte said.

Beca smiled and Chloe kissed the bigger brunette's cheek.

oO0Oo

"Chloe!" Beca called and groaned.

She was sitting on the couch with her feet up.

Okay so when she was pregnant with Charlotte, she didn't have a baby bump, she didn't have the crazy mood swings or any of the usual pregnancy symptoms.

Now that she was pregnant with their baby girl number 3, however, pregnancy hit her like a ton of bricks. Now she did have a baby bump, she couldn't feel her feet — she hated to admit it but she stunk most of the time — and she had a huge craving for pickles and peanut butter, which Sophie unfortunately picked up so she would often steal her pickles with peanut butter.

"Beca, I'm right here." Chloe came from the kitchen, wearing an apron.

Charlotte's 8th birthday was tomorrow, on Saturday. The actual day was on Tuesday the next week but they were gonna celebrate with their families and Charlotte's friends tomorrow, so Chloe was baking a cake while the girls were in ballet.

"Baby, I need water." Beca pouted.

"Beca, you're pregnant, not disabled." Chloe rolled her eyes.

"Hey, did you know if you don't satisfy my needs and cravings while I'm pregnant, our daughter will be born with her mouth open?" Beca asked.

Chloe burst out laughing.

"Says who?" She asked.

"I do." Beca said.

"Well come on, you can stay with me while I finish the cake and then we can go pick up the girls froms ballet." Chloe said.

Beca held out her arms with a pout.

"Help me up." She said.

Chloe rolled her eyes.

"You're such a child." She said.

Beca put one hand on her bump while she walked with a grin.

Chloe went back to baking her chocolate cake while Beca opened the fridge with a hum.

"Do we have tomato juice?" Beca asked.

"Eww no!" Chloe said. "Why?"

"I want to drink something salty." Beca said.

"I thought you wanted water?"

"I changed my mind." Beca shrugged.

"Beca, we don't have tomato juice and I'm not going out to buy you tomato juice. Knowing you, by the time I got back, you would look at the juice and go 'ew'." Chloe said.

"Oooh! Olives! Dude we have black olives?!" Beca asked, completely ignoring what her wife said.

Chloe rolled her eyes.

"Yeah." She said.

Beca hummed in appreciation and grabbed the jar of black olives before closing the fridge. She then went over to the pantry and opened it, going inside.

"Oooh! Chocolate!"

Chloe giggled at how cute Beca's voice sounded.

"Oh my God, we have chocolate syrup?! Score!" Beca said before she came out, holding a chocolate bar and the chocolate syrup.

"Beca.. What are you gonna do with those?" Chloe asked.

"Eat them." Beca said, placing them on the table. "Wait, I saw some Doritos back there."

Chloe made a disgusted gave but didn't let it show to her wife. Beca's feelings were those of a child: if she saw Chloe looking disgusted at her snack choice, she'd start crying.

Beca sat back at the table with her snacks. She opened the jar of black olives, the chocolate bar, chocolate syrup and the bag of Doritos before she hummed, rubbing her hands together.

She grabbed a chocolate cube, put chocolate syrup on top and put it in her mouth before adding two olives and eating a bite of a Dorito. She then hummed at the taste.

"Is that.. Good?" Chloe asked, turning green.

"Totally." Beca said with her mouth full.

"No, I mean for the baby." Chloe said.

Beca rubbed her stomach.

"She asked for it, so I guess it is." Beca shrugged.

Beca then grabbed a Dorito and spread chocolate syrup on top before she ate it.

Chloe turned her attention back to her cake so she wouldn't be focused on her wife's gross snack.

"Hey shouldn't we leave now?" Beca asked, her teeth brown from the chocolate but her fingers were yellow/orange from the Doritos.

Chloe checked her watch.

"Yeah we should." Chloe said. "I'll leave this here and I'll put it in the oven when I get back."

"Okay." Beca said, wiping her hands. "I'm gonna wash my hand and face."

"Okay." Chloe said as she started to put Beca's snacks away.

"Hey! I'm gonna eat this when I get back!" Beca said.

"Beca, I wanna start making dinner when we're back." Chloe said.

Beca pouted.

"Okay." Beca said.

Chloe chuckled.

"Go wash yourself." She said.

Beca left to go to the bathroom while Chloe put the things away, turning green when she thought of all the things her wife was eating.

"I'm ready." Beca said.

"Great me too." Chloe said, wiping her hands on her apron before she took it off.

"Can I have mac and cheese with peanut butter for dinner?" Beca asked with a grin.

"We'll think about it." Chloe said, shaking her head to get rid of the sudden wave of nausea that hit her.

oO0Oo

In Sunday afternoon, Beca was watching a movie with the girls while Chloe finished some paperwork quickly.

The redhead came back to the living room to find Beca eating pickles with mustard and chocolate syrup. Along with Sophie of course. Charlotte looked dangerously pale as she watched them.

"Okay, Beca." Chloe said. "I'm.. somewhat fine with you eating those gross foods if that makes you happy but please don't do it in front of the girls! Sophie's picking up your nasty habits!"

Beca just stared at her wife before her eyes filled with tears.

"They're so good, I didn't mean for Sophie to pick them up." She defended herself. "I mean I'm here being basically a human oven and you're.. being mean to my snacks."

Beca wiped her tears while Chloe rolled her eyes. Oh the hormones.

The brunette placed one hand on her grown belly while she kept wiping her tears with the others.

"Mamma!" Sophie called, mad face in place. "You maked mommy sad! You maked my baby sister sad!"

"Honey I didn't mean to." Chloe said.

"Say you awe sowwy." Sophie crossed her arms.

Beca looked amused as she looked at Chloe.

"I'm sorry, Beca." Chloe said and Beca chuckled.

"Sowwy baby sister!" Sophie reminded, placing one hand on Beca's belly.

"Sorry, baby girl." Chloe said, coming closer and placing her own hand on Beca's belly. "And I'm also sorry for the gross stuff mommy's been eating."

Beca slapped her jokingly.

"It's not gwoss, it's lidicious!" Sophie said.

"Sophie, let's do this: when mommy is eating her 'gross snacks' you can't eat with me anymore, okay?" Beca asked, using air quotes on "gross snacks".

"No!" Sophie pouted. "Pwease mommy!"

"I'm sorry baby but that's not good for you." Beca said.

"You eat too." Sophie crossed her arms and made her mad face.

"Yeah but I'm pregnant. After your sister is born, I'm not gonna eat those anymore." Beca said.

"But.. But.. But I wanna eat." Sophie pouted.

"I know but you can't, okay honey? Mommy can eat while she's pregnant but that's it." Beca said.

"No! I want to eat too." Sophie made her mad face.

Sophie then reached forward and grabbed a pickle, dipping it in the mustard before adding chocolate syrup.

"Sophie, give me that."

"No."

"Give me the pickle."

"No! It's mine." Sophie said and took a bite.

Beca reached for it but Sophie dodged her hand in time.

"Give me the pickle!"

"No, it's mine!" Sophie said.

"Beca! Beca! Stop!" Chloe said after a while. "Sophie, no more eating mommy's gross snacks, okay?"

Sophie pouted but didn't say anything.

"Beca, no more acting like a child, please." Chloe said. "I'm supposed to be having a third kid not a fourth."

Beca crossed her arms and frowned.

"Thanks, Ma." Charlotte said.

Chloe chuckled. Her wife was a huge dork and she got even dorkier when she got pregnant.


Yaaaay! Who else loves pregnant Beca?
