5 years later

If you were to walk into Beca Mitchell's New York Photo Gallery, you would find only the most beautiful of pictures on her walls. Pictures she had taken on some of the most epic of adventures. Each and every one of them had a story to tell. Some of them you could simply stare at for hours and not get bored and others you could look at several times and always see something new. Beca Mitchell prided herself in knowing that each picture that she hung in her gallery could have the potential to change the outlook of someone's life. Whether it was to inspire them to travel or just to find the beauty in something they never knew existed. She tries to create awe and wonder for every visitor that comes through her doors. This was the reason why Beca Mitchell had become so successful and is now a world renowned photographer.

Her office held countless awards and accolades that she had achieved over the years. Something Beca had always felt a little uncomfortable about them. She didn't take pictures to achieve awards, she took them so people could see more of the world and see beauty that was undiscovered. But of all the pictures Beca took, her favourites weren't hung in her gallery, or even in her office. They were on her wall at home. They weren't pictures of beautiful landscapes or of amazing architecture. They were of the ones she loved the most, her friends and her family and her beautiful wife. These were the pictures Beca loved the most and considered her best work.

And this is where we find Beca Mitchell, some five years after the opening of her gallery. Sitting in her living room, looking up at all her glorious pictures. They were all there, pictures of her and Stacie from when they were teenagers and all through their almost 20 years together. There were pictures of Aubrey and Amy, who had become such a vital part of Beca's life. (Yes, Amy Jones was still a vital part in Beca's life. It took a while but Beca eventually forgave her) There were pictures of Emily and Benji with their one year old son and pictures of Dean pulling Beca into a hug that she didn't want. They were all memories that Beca cherished, but none of them compared to the ones of her amazing wife. Beca smiles up at those pictures, there were so many, but that didn't matter to Beca. There were ones from when from the first year they met, ones from when they were dating, even ones from their wedding. But right in the centre of all of the pictures, hung Beca's favourite. The boat picture, the one of her reckless woman. If anyone asked which one her favourite was, it was that one, the one that started it all.

"Do you ever get sick of looking at that picture?" Chloe asks, coming in to the living room of their four bedroom apartment they bought two years ago.
"Nope! The chick in the picture is really hot!" Beca smirks, as Chloe comes and sits beside Beca.
"Really?" Chloe looks up and pulls a face, "I just don't see it, maybe it's because I don't have a thing for redheads."
"Luckily, I do." Beca grins, cheekily, putting her arm Chloe and pulling her in close.
"Yeah?" Chloe asks, with a little purr.
"Yeah, I liked her so much, I married her." Beca smiles, very pleased with herself.
"Well then, isn't she lucky?" Chloe giggles, taking Beca's face and kissing her deeply.

The two continue kissing, it still felt like it did when they first started dating. Both of them still felt butterflies and swooning when they were together. They still loved spending every minute with each other. Over the past five years, Beca and Chloe had gone on many adventures together. Beca kept her promise and Chloe came on every trip after Beca returned home to New York. They've gone all over the world together and it's only brought them closer together.
"I wish we could stay like this all night." Beca mutters, pulling away slightly.
"Me too, but everyone will be here soon." Chloe says, knowing all their friends would be here in a minute or so.
"Why did we invite them over again?" Beca groans, trying to capture Chloe's lips again.
Chloe giggles, "You know why."
"Yeah, yeah!" Beca rolls her eyes, "They're lucky we love them."
"Besides, Aubrey wants to go over some more wedding stuff tonight as well." Chloe says, snuggling into Beca.
"They aren't getting married for a year and a half, why are you going over it already?" Beca says, exasperatedly.
"Becs, its Aubrey!" Chloe says, seriously.
"Touché."

*knock knock*

"They're here!" Chloe says, pushing Beca back and getting up to answer the door.
Beca groans loudly, as Chloe laughs and shushes her. Beca watches Chloe run off to the door. Beca couldn't help but smile. Even though Chloe was dressed in jeans and a T-shirt, to Beca she simply glowed. That beautiful woman was her wife and Beca was incredibly proud of that.
"Hey you guys!" Chloe says, as she opens the door to find Stacie, Aubrey and Amy.
"Hey Chloe!"
"Come in, it's cold in the hall." Chloe says, ushering them in.
They come in and hang up their coats, and go and say hello to Beca. They all continue talking just waiting for Emily and Benji to arrive.
"Chloe, we have to go over colour schemes tonight." Aubrey says, importantly.
"That's fine, Bree." Chloe smiles, nothing could dull her mood tonight.
"I also have bridesmaid dress ideas, but they'll have to match the theme. We also need to look…" Aubrey continues to a smiling Chloe.
"I still can't believe you guys are getting married." Beca mutters to Stacie, as much as she loved Aubrey, they were still an odd pairing.
"I still can't believe she wants to marry me. I got lucky." Stacie says, watching her fiancé with an adoring look.

Twenty minutes later, Benji and Emily arrived with their son, Henry. Henry immediately toddles over to Beca and hugs her legs. It was still weird to everyone that this little kid was so obsessed with Beca, seeing as she didn't do well with most people. But Beca would always laugh and says Henry just had a good judge of character.
"Henry!" Beca says, scooping up the little boy, who had black curly hair.
Henry giggles and latches around Beca's neck. He grabs at her hair as Beca tickles his belly.
"Bu..bu..bu." He says, attempting to talk.
"Beca…Bec..ca…" Beca says, walking around her living room trying to teach Henry her name.
"I never thought a kid would like Beca that much." Amy mutters to Stacie, who sniggers and nods her head.
"I know! No kid liked her that much when we were in school." Stacie whispers, giggling.
"You know I can hear you!" Beca says, grumpily, with Henry now trying to eat her hair.

After a few minutes of pleasant greetings, Chloe has everyone sit down. She and Beca had an announcement. Chloe was absolutely beside herself with excitement, even Beca had a huge smile on her face.
"Ok, now that all of you are here. Except Dean, he's busy being a CEO." Chloe says, pointing out the absence of Dean, "We have an announcement to make."
"You guys aren't moving, are you?" Stacie asks, worriedly, knowing they do like to go on long adventures.
"No, we are staying here in New York, in fact, we won't be going on another trip for quite a while." Beca says, reaching down and grabbing Chloe's hand.
"Wait…Really?" Emily asks, concerned, "You're not closing the gallery, are you?"
"No, we're not. We're just taking a little break." Chloe smiles, looking at Beca with glee, "We've started working on a new project."

Everyone looks at them wondering what they were talking about, except Amy who was squinting at Chloe suspiciously.
"Chloe's pregnant." She says, causing the whole room to look at her in surprise.
"Damn it, Amy!" Beca shouts, half annoyed and half amused, while Chloe shakes her head knowing she couldn't get anything past Amy even if she tried.
"What?! She's been eating like 3 burgers a day lately, it wasn't that hard to figure out." Amy says, defensively.
"Yeah well, you could have just waited till we announced it." Chloe says, playfully scolding her friend.
"Wait!" Aubrey stands up with a serious look on her face, "You're really pregnant?"
Beca and Chloe look at each other, both grinning from ear to ear.
"We're having a baby!" They shout together.

The room erupts in cheers as they all come and hug the expecting couple. They were all so excited.
"How far along?" Benji asks Chloe.
"We just past the first trimester. We're sorry it took so long to tell you guys. But with me being a little older, we had some risks. But everything is going really well." Chloe says, patting her tiny little belly.
"Oh Henry! You're going to have a new little playmate soon!" Benji says, scooping Henry into his arms, "We can teach them magic too!"
Aubrey immediately started suggesting vitamins for Chloe and telling her she'll organise her an eating plan. Stacie and Amy simply couldn't believe that they were having a baby, and were talking about how awesome it was that they were going to be Aunts. Emily hugs Beca and starts babbling about all the future play dates they would have. Beca couldn't help but smile, she really picked the best people to have in her life. This baby would have the greatest family, they would have so much love and support. They will always feel wanted and that made Beca incredibly happy.

3 months later

Chloe waddles through the apartment and into the kitchen at 3am, hoping to find something amazing to eat. She raids the fridge and finds ice cream. She raids the cupboards and finds potato chips. She looks at the two items, her brain is telling her it's a bad idea and nothing good would come from it, but her stomach just gives an aggressive rumble.
"Fuck it!" Chloe says, breaking open the ice cream and busting opened the chips.
Chloe proceeds to dig the chips into the ice cream. She puts in her mouth and is given an explosion of salty and sweet, crunchy and cold. It was better than she was expecting.
"I wonder if it's good because I'm pregnant." Chloe thinks out loud, as she digs more chips into the ice cream.
Chloe continues to eat, making satisfied moans after each chip and ice cream combo goes into her mouth.

"What are you doing?" Comes a sleepy voice from behind her.
Chloe jumps and turns around, "Beca! Oh you scared me!"
"Sorry." She grins, sleepily, as she walks over and kisses Chloe and then leans down and kiss her developing belly.
"I got hungry." Chloe explains, putting more chips and ice cream into her mouth.
Beca snorts, "Plain salted chips and vanilla ice cream. Is it good?"
"Soooo good!" Chloe grunts, as she throws her head back.

Beca couldn't help but smile, Chloe had been coming up with some very weird combinations since she fell pregnant. Her favourite one Chloe came up with was Twinkies and ranch dressing. Beca was completely disgusted and amused at the same time.
"I hope this isn't as bad as when you thought Doritos would go well in clam chowder." Beca says, eyeing the chips and ice cream cautiously.
"Excuse me! That was amazing!" Chloe argues, her little belly wobbling, "Even Amy ate it with me."
"Yeah, but Amy's Australian, she's always up for a challenge." Beca says, seriously, "How do you think she managed to get Luke Middlesworth, a self proclaimed narcissistic pretty boy, to become her 'live in maid'?"
Chloe shudders, "I still don't even know what to call their relationship."
"Hey, if they're happy, who are we to judge?" Beca shrugs, before putting her hand on Chloe's belly, "We just won't let Aunty Amy babysit at her house."

Chloe's belly jiggles as she laughs and nods her head. She continues to chow down on the ice cream and chips. She lets out another satisfied moan and starts to dance around the kitchen, making Beca laugh as she watches her wife sway her hips.
"I've never seen you dance from eating. Damn, it must be good." Beca says, thinking her wife couldn't be more beautiful then she is right now.
"Becs, if you don't try one right now, I'm going to be so mad." Chloe says, pointing at the food.
"Ok, I'll try one. But if it's shit, you're taking me out for breakfast." Beca says, seriously, as she picks up a chip and uses it to scoop out some ice cream.
Beca eyes it uneasily, 'How bad could it be?'
She puts the whole thing in her mouth and is incredibly surprised at how good it is.
"Oh damn! That's good!" Beca says, really surprised.
Chloe nods with a smug look on her face, "Told you!"

…

3 months later

Chloe sits on the couch with her feet up in Beca's office at their New York Gallery. She tiredly rubs her very swollen belly, feeling dull pains every now and then. She was extremely close to her due date and was very ready for this baby to come out. Beca couldn't help but stare lovingly at her pregnant wife. Beca could honestly say that she had never been more beautiful.
"Becs, stop giving me that look, I don't know how on earth you could find all of this attractive." Chloe huffs, as she catches Beca giving her a longing look.
"Chlo, you're growing our child. I beyond attracted to all of this!" Beca says, gesturing to all of Chloe.
"But I feel so fat!" Chloe cries, letting her lips pout.

Beca gets up and sits on the edge of the couch by Chloe. Beca kisses her forehead, then kisses her lips. She moves down and kisses her neck, and finally kissing the top of Chloe's belly.
"I love all of this!" Beca says, sweetly.
I didn't matter how terrible Chloe felt about her body, Beca had been so loving and attentive towards her. It always made Chloe feel better about herself. Beca rubs little circles on Chloe's belly.
"Maybe when we get home, we can try some other techniques to induce labour." Beca purrs, with a wink, "If you know what I mean."
"I can leave, you know?" Emily says, awkwardly, as she swings her chair around, guessing that they had forgotten she was in the room.
Chloe snorts, "We're talking about taking the stairs to get up to the apartment."
Emily rolls her eyes, "Sure you are! I swear after five years, you two have just gotten way too comfortable with me being in the room with you."
"Sorry Emily!" Beca sings, with an amused grin, "I just can't help it, Chloe is just so beautiful."
Beca leans down and kisses her belly again. Suddenly…

*POP*

"What was that?" Beca says, concerned.
Chloe's eyes widen in surprise, as she feels a warm flood, "I think my water just broke!"
"What? I broke your water with my kiss?" Beca says, a little stunned.
"It's not the first thing you broke while kissing me." Chloe jokes, before feeling a searing pain, "Aaahhhhhh..FUCK!"
Beca jumps up, "Oh shit! It's starting! Not now! The baby's not supposed to here for a few more days!"
Chloe tries not to move on the couch as she tries to breathe through the first contraction. She'd had a few pains throughout most of the day, but she knew that was normal. She didn't think her water would break.
Beca grabs Chloe's hand as she tries to help Chloe through it, but on the inside she was completely melting down. She had mentally prepared herself for this day, but now it was here, it was so overwhelming.
"We have to get you to the hospital! We have to get all of your stuff! We have to call the doctor!" Beca rambles as Chloe squeezes her hand harder, "I'm not sure we're ready yet!"
"Beca! Stop panicking!" Emily says, grabbing Beca's shoulder, "He or she is ready to come out whether you're ready of not! Now pull your shit together! Your wife is having a God Damn baby!"

Beca stares at Emily a stunned, it was rare that Emily was so assertive. Beca nods as she tries to breathe and calm herself down. She had to remember she wasn't the one going into labour. Chloe lets go of Beca's hand and calms her own breathing as the pain subsides.
"I need new pants." She says, sadly, looking down.
Emily walks back over to her desk and grabs some sweat pants out of the draw.
"Here Chloe, wear these. I have them here in case I work late."
Beca and Emily help Chloe into the dry pants, before helping her out onto the street where Beca hails a cab.
"I will go to apartment and grab everything you guys need." Emily says, keeps her arm around Chloe as Beca frantically dashes back to help Chloe into the cab.
"Come on, Chlo." Beca says, easing her into the car.
"Ooohhh… aaahhhh!" Chloe clutches her belly in pain.
"Oh fuck!" Beca says, panicking, thinking that the contractions seem very close together.
"Beca! Pull it together!" Emily says, sternly, "Time the contractions and tell the doctors when you get there. I'll meet you at the hospital."
Beca nods pulling out her phone as she slides into the cab next to Chloe.
"Hospital please! And make it fast!" Beca says to the cab driver, as he speeds off into traffic.

...

"FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, GET THIS BABY OUT OF ME!" Chloe screams in the labour ward.
Beca was beyond words at this point, because Chloe had a hold of Beca's hand so tight that she may have already broken a few of her fingers. All Beca could do was be there for Chloe and not say anything that could get her whole hand broken.
"You're doing great, Mrs Mitchell, two more pushes and the baby will be here." The doctor assures her.
"AAAAHHHHHHH!" Chloe screams, as she pushes down, while crushing Beca's hand even further.
"That's it, Chlo! You're doing amazingly!" Beca says, with a strained voice, pretending she wasn't in any pain, "Only one more push."
"I can't…Becs….I can't…" she pants, heavily, shaking her head, beads of sweat rolling down her face.
"I know, babe, I know you're tired. But I need you to push one more time, ok? Just one more push and we meet our baby." Beca says, gently before snatching her crumbled hand back and letting it regain some sort of feeling.

Chloe pants, her red hair was wet from sweat. She was so exhausted from pushing and from all the pain. She had never experienced pain like this before.
"Chlo, you've got this!" Beca says, encouragingly, wiping back some of her hair and giving her hand back to Chloe, "One more push."
Chloe nods, gathering what little strength she had left in her. She pushes down, while crushing Beca's hand. She screams loud as the baby enters the world. The next thing they hear is the most beautiful sound, the cry of their brand new baby. Chloe throws herself back against the bed, trying to catch her breath.
"Chloe! You did it!" Beca cheers, as she watches the doctors clean up the baby, "I'm so proud of you!"
"Becs?" Chloe pants, her voice sounding very weak.
"Yeah, Chlo?" Beca says, grabbing her hand, gently brushing her hair out of her face.
"You're having the next one!" She says, seriously, looking Beca dead in the eye.

Beca nodded and agreed, because who would argue with a woman who just had a baby. A big grin spreads over Beca's face, her wife was so amazing. She couldn't have been prouder even if she tried.
"Do you hear that, Chloe? That's our baby!" Beca says, still hearing the crying.
Chloe breathes deeply as she listens to the cry, it was so beautiful. It was clear that their baby had big healthy lungs. The doctor brings over their baby.
"Congratulations Mums', it's a girl." He smiles, as he lays her in Chloe's arms.
It's a girl. The most euphoric feeling washes over Beca and Chloe as they gaze down at their baby girl. She had the cutest little button nose, the chubbiest cheeks with the reddest hair Beca had ever seen. She definitely took after Chloe.
"She looks like you." Beca says, her voice becoming thick with emotion.
Beca had witnessed the most beautiful sights the world had to offer, but none were as beautiful as the one she was seeing now. Nothing would ever compare to the sight of her incredible wife holding their beautiful daughter.

The baby girl's crying begins to stop as Chloe holds her close to her chest.
"She's amazing!" Chloe whispers, as their new daughter starts to open her eyes.
She looks up at her parents for the first time. Tears begin to stream down Beca's face as little noises come out of her daughter's mouth. She had never felt such love for someone she just met. Yet, there she was and Beca knew that she would do everything in her power to protect this child.
"Elizabeth." Beca says, saying the name that she and Chloe had decided if she was going to be a girl.
"It's so perfect." Chloe says, as she gazes down at her baby, not able to tear her eyes away.
"Hi Elizabeth, this amazing woman is your mum and I'm your other mum." Beca says, smiling, "We promise not to confuse you."

Chloe giggles as Elizabeth stares up at her two mothers. She didn't know it yet, but she was going to have the greatest life. She was going to see everything the world had to offer, but still get to grow up in the one of the coolest cities on the planet. She would have cousins to play with and maybe even a little brother or sister one day. She would get to go on adventures and get to have dreams of her own. All the while being loved and supported by two loving parents that would never leave her and that would never let her feel unloved. Because she was the best thing that had ever been created.

Beca gazes over at Chloe, as exhausted as she was, Beca hadn't ever seen her look this happy. Through Beca's tears, the sweetest of smiles twinkles on her lips as she watches Chloe, Chloe was no longer just the woman in the picture. She was Beca's best friend, her wife and now the mother of her child. Beca was more in awe of Chloe today than the first time she laid eyes on her.
"Chloe?" Beca says, sweetly.
"Yeah?" Chloe looks up at Beca, who still had tears streaming down her face.
"Are you ready for our biggest adventure yet?" Beca asks, feeling beyond happy.
Chloe smiles down at their baby and then back up at her wife, "I'm ready."
The two women beam at each other in blissful happiness, because they knew that out of all their adventures they would have, none would ever be as great as this one.
