A/N: So this series of one shots and drabbles is set in the same verse as what to expect from your wife when you're expecting but will stand alone if you haven't read that. It will feature Charlie and a little bit of side staubrey!
This will just be pure fluff because I am weak for baby fluff and find the idea of Beca Effin Mitchell struggling to maintain independence and image while hugely pregnant!
Also I wrote this on a boat at 1am so apologies for any mistakes I missed. And any suggestions for what you'd like to see in this hit me up!
Beca sat in the doctor's waiting room, her knee bouncing in a combination of nerves and excitement. Her mind drifted back to recall how she had ended up in this position.
Beca grimaced as she watched Chloe groan and wince in pain as she strained to push to bring their baby girl into the world. Chloe's vice-like grip had long since cut off the circulation to her fingers but she was now passed the point of caring as she watched on helplessly at her wife's pain.
"You're doing so good baby, you're almost done!" She smiled encouragingly at her wife when she took a quick break between pushes.
Chloe just rolled her head around to look at Beca pitifully. She looked exhausted; her cheeks were red from the exertion of pushing and red hair clung to her sweat damp forehead and neck.
"Is there anything I can do for you baby?" Beca asked, wishing she could do something to ease the pain.
"Yes! You can push out the next one!" the redhead huffed, her voice straining as the next contraction came and she resumed her pushing.
"That sounds fair!" Beca agreed quickly, rubbing Chloe's back soothingly as her wife squeezed her hand.
Beca hadn't actually thought in that moment that two years later she would be the one going through the insemination process to add to their little family. To be kfair she hadn't thought at all, she probably would have agreed to do anything for Chloe in that moment. But here they were two years later and Beca was the one who was pregnant.
"Mrs Beale-Mitchell?" Chloe squeezed her hand excitedly when the doctor called their name, her blue eyes sparkling as she smiled broadly at her wife. It felt strange to both of them, the feelings of nerves and excitement were so similar yet so completely different from the last time they were in this situation.
"So Beca, it's you turn this tigme then?" The doctor joked as the brunette jumped up onto the table.
"Apparently it's only fair," she rolled her eyes. The doctor chuckled as he prepped Beca for her ultrasound. She was only a few weeks pregnant so this appointment was just a quick check to see that everything looked normal and make absolutely certain there was in fact a baby growing inside the brunette.
"Alright, let's take a look at this little one then," the doctor mumbled to himself as he focused on the screen in front of him, moving the image around and searching for the best angle. He nodded when he saw the little dot of a foetus on the screen and was about to show the expectant mothers when something caught his eye. He frowned thoughtfully and began to move the wand again. Beca and Chloe noticed this and immediately shared a panicked look.
"What is it?" Beca asked urgently. "Is there something wrong?"
"No, no, nothing wrong," he assured them quickly. "It's just-"
"What?" Chloe demanded, her hand gripping Beca's tightly fearing the worst.
"Well it would appear your little one has some company in there," he chuckled softly.
"What?" Beca and Chloe both spoke at the same time.
"You're having twins," he nodded, turning the screen towards them and showing them the two tiny foetuses.
Chloe actually squealed at the sight, her mouth open in shock and her eyes prickling with tears.
"Two?" Beca said incredulously. "There's two of them!"
The doctor nodded.
"Aren't you happy?" Chloe asked softly, her blue eyes finding Beca's and her heart dropping when her wife didn't appear to be as excited by the news as she was.
"No Chlo! Baby of course I'm happy," Beca insisted, not wanting Chloe to think for even a second that she wasn't delighted about the news their family would be adding a bonus member. "I'd just maybe be a bit happier about it if they didn't have to come out of me in seven months!"
Chloe laughed and so did the doctor. He'd seen many shocked reactions to the news of multiple births but this was definitely one of the funnier ones. He pressed some buttons on the monitor and the sound of two fast foetal heartbeats came from the speakers. This seemed to erase the shocked reaction from Beca's mind as she felt tears run down her cheeks. They're little family was about to get bigger; a little bigger than they originally anticipated but still she couldn't be happier. The couple exchanged teary smiles while the doctor printed them a few snapshots of the ultrasound and scheduled their next appointment.
"Twins!" Beca said, a combination of awe and fear in her voice, when they got into the car.
"I know," Chloe echoed the tone of Beca's voice. It was a big shock but definitely the best kind of surprise. "Charlie is going to flip!"
Initially they had been a little worried about Charlie's reaction to an addition to their family as she had a very possessive streak in her when it came to her Mama Beca. Fortunately though they had successfully managed to talk their two year old around on the notion of becoming a big sister and lately she had been very enamoured with the idea of having s sibling.
"Charlie?" Beca scoffed. "Aubrey is going to die!"
The couple drove to Aubrey and Stacie's house. They had asked the couple to babysit Charlie while they went to the doctors but they hadn't told them where they were going or why. No one had any idea the couple were even trying to get pregnant but had agreed to tell their best friends after the scan. Chloe's excitement grew as they neared the house; she couldn't wait to tell her best friend that pretty soon she'd have not one but two new aca-nieces or nephews. Aubrey opened the door when she saw the car pull up. Chloe had been pretty vague when she asked if they could watch Charlie for an hour and it was entirely out of character for her. Usually when they dropped Charlie off it was with a detailed plan of where they were going and what they were doing and how to contact them so the lack of details had her both curious and worried.
"Hey," she greeted the couple as they stepped into the house.
"Hey Bree! How was she?" Beca asked, moving to where their daughter sat on the living room floor playing with Legos.
"She was her usual wonderful self," the blonde smiled fondly.
"That's great," Chloe grinned, she couldn't keep the smile from her face after the news they'd just received. "Thanks for watching her."
"It was no trouble," Aubrey assured them. Charlie was a delight and she was always glad of some one on one time with her godchild. "Is everything alright? You didn't say why you needed me to babysit."
Chloe looked across the room to her wife and Beca gave her a smile and a nod. Chloe motioned for Aubrey to follow her into the kitchen where they wouldn't be overheard since they planned on telling Charlie later over a special dinner. Beca sat down on the floor beside her little girl and began helping her with whatever she was building.
"OH MY GOD!" Aubrey screeched barely two minutes after they disappeared into the kitchen. There was a moment of silence before the hurried sounds of footsteps on the stairs.
"What is it? What happened?" Stacie demanded when she reached the last step, her eyes darting around the room for the source of the commotion.
"It's nothing," Beca laughed at both Aubrey's reaction and Stacie's startled appearance. "Chloe just told your girlfriend she knocked me up."
"What? Seriously? Oh my god that's so great! I didn't even know you guys were-"
"WHAT?" Aubrey squealed again in a voice so loud Beca was certain the neighbours across the street had heard her.
"Oh, with twins," she added casually in response to Stacie's questioning look.
"Twins?!" She repeated, her eyes wide and her mouth hanging open in surprise! "Congratulations!"
"We should maybe go check she hadn't fainted," Beca frowned thoughtfully, looking at the kitchen door.
