"I'm exhausted," Beca said as she collapsed on the couch in her dressing room. Harper climbed on her lap and snuggled against her.
Chloe walked into the room. "Jesse's putting some chairs away. I thought we could go celebrate at magnolia?"
"Chlo, I'm so tired, I just want to go home and sleep." Beca closed her eyes.
"Please please please?" Chloe begged. "Harper, tell your mom that you want cupcakes."
Harper giggled. "Mama I want a cupcake."
"Ugh, fine," Beca agreed reluctantly. "But Chloe, I'll get you back for this."
"Ok, I finished putting away the chairs," Jesse said as he walked into the room, planting a kiss on Beca's cheek.
Beca smiled like a big dork. "Chloe's forcing us to go to magnolia because she wants a damn cupcake."
Chloe chuckled. "I want to celebrate! I'm so happy for you guys."
"But Chloe my knee hurts," Beca whined.
Jesse gave a hug to Beca. "We'll get you some ice for the car ride there and home. I want a cupcake too."
Beca laughed. "You're such a dork. Now help me up."
***************
"I'm going to go sit down. Get me a red velvet," Beca said as they walked into the room. Harper followed her mom to a table. "Aww," Beca said, "you're being my girl today! Hey, Jesse, get her a red velvet too."
Jesse and Chloe came back to the table with a bag of cupcakes. "Red velvet for my queen and princess," Jesse said as he handed Beca and Harper their cupcakes and sat down next to them. Chloe got a chocolate cupcake, and Jesse got a vanilla cupcake. Harper was telling Chloe and Jesse all about school, and it was the cutest thing ever, but when Beca practically fell asleep at the table, they decided it was time to go. Then, she fell asleep in the car. When they got home, Jesse woke her up. "Becs, wake up, honey." Beca opened her eyes and Jesse carried her into the house.
"Thanks Jess, I'm like so tired." Beca rubbed her eyes as she sat up on the bed.
"Do you have any idea why? Maybe you're coming down with something." Jesse was pretty concerned.
"I think it's just my knee. I'll be fine." Beca laid down on the bed.
"I'm going to stay up for awhile."
"Ok, Jess. Love you! Thanks so much for tonight."
******
Beca woke up the next morning and she did not feel good at all. She made her way to the bathroom and threw up 3 times. She hadn't felt this bad since she was pregnant with Harper. Jesse had left for work, and Chloe and Harper were still asleep, so she made herself breakfast......with interesting toppings. She put chocolate syrup and sriracha on her pancakes, and she swore it tasted amazing.
Chloe woke up and walked to the kitchen. "What the hell are you eating, Beca?" She asked with a disgusted look on her face.
"Pancakes with chocolate syrup and sriracha," Beca shrugged.
"Why?" Chloe got some lucky charms down from the cabinet.
"I don't know I was craving it?"
"Beca, I heard you throwing up earlier...you're having weird cravings...and you're always tired...I think you might be pregnant again."
"That's impossible we used pro...ohhh we didn't use protection....."
"I'll go to the store and get you some pregnancy tests."
"Chloe I'm perfectly capable of going to the store."
"Fine. I'm not going to win this time."
Beca threw on some jeans and a tee shirt and went to the store.

"Do you know how to use it, Becs," Chloe asked as she helped her friend open the box."
"You pee on a stick. It's pretty idiot proof." Beca smiled sarcastically.
"You're quoting that movie now?" Chloe asked as she handed Beca a stick.
"Ok. I'll be back." Beca walked into the bathroom. 15 minutes later, she called Chloe into the bathroom.
"Ok, what are the results?" Chloe pulled at her hair. It was a nervous habit.
"Positive!" Beca said with a smile.
"Oh Beca! I'm so happy for you!" Chloe hugged her friend so tightly. "You have to tell Jesse and Harper and Anna."
"I'll tell Jesse and Anna, but I'm going to wait until the second trimester to tell Harper."
"Oh ok. CALL JESSE ALREADY."
Beca called her fiance.
Jesse! I have some good news!
What?
I'm pregnant again!
That's great, Beca! I'm so excited! When I get home, we should talk wedding plans and moving plans.
Yeah. We'll have to find a place. That condo next door still hasn't been bought by the bank. Let's just buy it back.
Ok. We'll talk later. I have to get back to work.
Love you.
Chloe smiled. "Let's meet Anna out to lunch to tell her the news."
"What about Harper?"
"She won't be paying attention."
"Ok fine. I'll text her."
Hey. Do you want to meet us for lunch? I have some good news!
Yeah. Where and what time?
Ugh, I feel bad because we only go to Olive Garden, but that's the only place Harper likes.
Nah I love Olive Garden.
Ok. How does 1:30 work?
Great! I'll meet you there.
Bye!
"Chlo, can you get Harper up? I really need to rest my knee."
Chloe looked at Beca and could tell she was in pain. "Yeah. I'll get you some ice and some Aspirin."
"Thanks so much. You're a lifesaver. It still hurts so bad."
Chloe put some ice on beca's knee. "Well that makes sense since you have metal stretching a broken tendon in your leg, along with 30 stitches. I'll go get Harper up."
****************************
"Hey, Anna," Beca said as she hugged her friend and sat down across from her at the table. "I had Chlo take Harper to the bathroom because she doesn't know yet."
Anna smiled. "What's the news!"
Beca was beaming. "I'm pregnant again!"
"Oh my god seriously?" Anna got up and hugged her friend.
"Yes! I found out this morning!" Beca hugged Anna back.
"Oh my gosh that's great! I'm so excited! Wait. Why haven't you told Harper?"
Beca rolled her eyes. "Not to make you upset or anything, and I don't want to make you upset, but what month did you lose the twins in?"
"The 2nd month. The first trimester."
Beca rolled her eyes again. "Put two and two together dumbass."
"Ohh...first trimester is more common for miscarriages....0k...I get it.....and oh thanks for that cute little sarcastic bitchy dumbass comment."
"Oh no problem."
Harper ran up to Anna. "Aunt Anna!!! I'm so happy to see you!"
