A/N:
I'm skipping three months into Beca and Chloe's pregnancies because it would be a long time to go through all of that. Hope you enjoy :)

Beca and Chloe sat in a coffee shop with Harper. They decided to tell her about the babies, since they were both 3 months in. Beca brought Harper her chocolate milk and sat down. "Harper, mommy and Aunt Chloe have some important news for you! I'm having another baby, and aunt Chloe is having her baby, so you're going to have a little brother or sister, and you're going to have a cousin!"

"Yay! Aunt Chloe, is it going to be a boy or a girl?"

Chloe smiled at the little girl, who had never been more excited. "I'm not sure yet, and neither is your mommy, but I'm happy!"

"I'm so happy, mama!" Harper gave a big hug to Beca.

"I'm glad, sweetie, but we gotta get going because it's aunt Chloe's birthday party and concert!"

"Ok!"

********************************

Beca and Harper set up everything backstage while Chloe was sitting in the car. They wanted to make the cake a surprise. Eryn came running in. "I'm so sorry I'm late, I got caught in traffic and I had to get her a present an-"

"Eryn," Beca laughed, "You're the first one here, so relax."

Eryn laughed. "Oh ok. Do you need help with anything?"

"Yeah," Beca said, "can you hang up this banner for me? I really need to rest, my knee is killing me."

"When did you stop using the crutches?"

"2 weeks ago. It took longer than expected, and I'm still limping around, and it hurts constantly. I have the crutches with me, and if the pain gets any worse, I'm going to use them, because it's really bad."

"Are you ok? I can go get you some aspirin or something, or I can get you ice."

"I took some aspirin before I came here. Some ice would be great. Thank you."

Eryn came back a few minutes later with a bag of ice. "Here ya go, hey where's Chloe?"

"She's in the car, I told her it was a surprise, so she had to wait."

The rest of the girls walked in. "Hey, Beca," Annalise said. "How's your knee?"

Beca rolled her eyes. "Horrible, but it's not like there's anything I can do besides aspirin and ice."

"Aw ok. Where's Chlo?"

"She's in the car. She texted me that she's on a business call and to text her when I'm ready. Harper has been helping me set up, but my knee is killing me so I decided to take a break."

"Oh ok. Do you want help with anything?"

"No, I'm good, but thanks. Eryn helped me earlier."

"Ok."

Beca's phone rang and she got up to take the call.
Oh hey Anna!

Hey, I have some exciting news, Ben, and bless his heart, mixed up the date, and our vacation is in 2 weeks, so I'm on my way over here!

Oh my gosh! That's great! Chloe was so sad that you couldn't make it, so don't tell her.

Ok! I'll be here in ten minutes.

Great! See you.

Beca texted Chloe.
Ok, it's all set up!

Ok I'm on my way in.

Chloe walked in. "I was thinking we could sing Flashlight tonight."

"Why?"

"Duh because Emily is here and she wants to sing it."

"Dude, Emily came?!" Beca almost exploded with joy.

Emily came in the door. "Hey!"

Beca was freaking out. "Oh my god I haven't seen you in 3 years! How did? What did?" She couldn't even talk.

Emily gave her a hug. "I graduated, and then my singing career didn't exactly take off, so I moved here and became an interior designer, and Chloe is my boss!"

Beca smiled at the girls. "This is one of my best friends, Emily. She wrote the song I sang here exactly 4 years ago. I haven't seen her in 3 years, and Harper has only met her once."

Harper waved shyly. "Hi."

Beca rolled her eyes. "This is your aunt Emily, don't be shy."

Emily smiled. "Hi, sweetie. Beca, she looks just like you."

Beca smiled. "Thanks, Em. Hey, where are you living?"

"In a hotel, at least until I find a place."

Chloe looked up from her phone. "You can move in with me! Beca and Jesse are moving next door tomorrow. I'll have tons of room, and it'll feel so empty."

"Thank you, Chlo."

Beca checked her phone. "It starts in 5 minutes. Do you guys wanna have cake after the concert?"

"Yeah," everyone said in unison.

Beca smiled at Chloe. "Oh one more thing." She opened the door, and Anna walked through.

Chloe's face lit up. "How? I thought you were on a flight to California?"

Anna smiled. "Ben was an idiot and mixed up the flight. We go in 2 weeks, and Beca told me how much you wanted me to come for your birthday, so yeah."

Beca balanced on her good leg. "Yeah, I'm using my crutches tonight, and a chair. My knee is killing me."

Chloe handed her the crutches and set up a chair. "Now kick some ass!" She said with a smiled.

Beca sat down as the curtain opened. "Hey, guys. Four years ago today, me and my best friends were in a car accident, and a very special person didn't leave my side for 4 days. Today is her birthday, and I want to make it really special. Chloe, come on out here!" Chloe walked on stage and stood next to Beca. Beca gave Chloe a quick hug. "A lot has changed in these 4 years. I had a daughter, and I'm expecting my second child. Chloe's expecting her first, and I'm so excited for her. She's helped me raise Harper since the minute she was born, and I'm forever grateful. There has never been a time when she hasn't been by my side, and that's a lot to ask for, especially dealing with me. Anyway, I just wanted to wish my best friend a happy 32nd birthday. She did nicest thing ever. She brought one of our best friends here, and surprised me. "

Chloe smiled. "Well I'm not the only one who did something nice. Beca got Anna to come for my birthday, too!"

Beca smiled. "So I'd like Emily, Anna, and Harper to come onstage and sing with us."

The girls came onstage and sang flashlight with Beca and Chloe, and Chloe said it was the best birthday ever, but she said that every year, so Beca was never sure, but she was glad she liked it.
