November.

"Hey babe, what's up?" Chloe's grin grew when her wife answered the phone.

"I just got off the phone with Jesse, Stacie's gone into labour!" She revealed in excitement, almost squealing down the line.

"Oh my God, no way."

"Yeah! Jesse knew you were at work so he told me to let you know." The redhead said a little distractedly as opened up her laptop.

"I've almost finished my break before I get back to recording, I won't be able to get away till this afternoon though. Are you going to the hospital now?"

"Don't worry about it Beca, it'll be a while till the baby's born anyway, I need to pick Hailee up from school later so we can all head to the hospital after that?" The older woman suggested.

"Sounds good. Do you want me to come home first or just meet you there?" The brunette asked.

"Come home first because I know Hailee will want to drop off her stuff and get changed out of her uniform before she goes." She chuckled slightly, knowing how much her daughter hated her school uniform and would only cause World War 3 if she had to wear it to the hospital.

"Alright, well I need to go now anyway but text me if you hear anything from Jesse."

"No problem, honey, I will do. I'll see you later, okay? I love you." Chloe sang the last part down the line, making Beca laugh.

"I love you too, weirdo. See you soon."

"You really need to learn how to drive that thing properly. It's a 7 Series, Chloe, they can definitely shift and you're driving it like you're heading to church." Beca laughed as she watched Chloe lock her BMW before they started walking into the hospital.

"Would you shut up about my driving? At least I'm not gonna be the one who wraps my car around a tree one day." The redhead shot back making Hailee laugh who was walking between them.

The 25 year old draped her arm over her step-daughter as they walked down the corridor. "I'll teach you how to drive when you're older, kid." She said in a hushed voice, earning a fist bump from the young girl.

"Is it a boy or a girl?" Hailee asked, looking up at her mother.

"A little girl." Chloe smiled, finally finding the room Stacie was in. "Keep your voice down, Hailee, she might be sleeping." She whispered before entering the room. "Hey." She greeted softly.

Stacie was in the bed, looking completely exhausted while Jesse was sat on a chair next to her bedside, holding their tiny daughter in his arms.

"Congratulations guys." Beca said, immediately going up to Stacie to give her a hug before giving her a gift bag full of outfits, little toys and a card.

"Aw thank you, girls." Stacie smiled as she looked through the bag.

Hailee's eyes lit up and her jaw dropped as she quickly moved to Jesse's side to take a look at the baby girl.

"What's her name?" The 11 year old whispered, placing a hand on the man's shoulder.

"Ava." Jesse replied with a huge grin. "Daddy's little girl."

"She's beautiful." Chloe commented as her and Beca walked over to get a better look.

"Woah she's so small." Beca said quietly. "Can I hold her?" She asked and Chloe whipped her head around in surprise but her heart immediately melted.

"Of course." Jesse looked up at his best friend before standing up. "Ava, this is your aunt Beca, aunt Chloe and your big cousin Hailee." He introduced, showing Ava each person.
