Beca was screaming, and not just regular screaming, at the top of her lungs ear piercing screams. Jesse was trying to keep her calm. "It's ok, calm down, breathe. We just have to get gas."
"YOU HAVE TO FUCKING GET GAS? WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU. UNLESS YOU WANT ME TO HAVE THIS BABY IN THE BACKSEAT THEN HURRY THE HELL UP."
Jesse nodded. "Ok, I'll hurry, just try to breathe."
He quickly filled the tank and was back on the road within two minutes, listening to Beca's screams. "Breathe, baby, calm down. We're almost there."
"I CAN'T CALM DOWN, I FEEL LIKE IM GOING TO HAVE THIS BABY RIGHT NOW. HURRY THE HELL UP."
Jesse nodded and kept driving until he helped Beca out of the car and into the hospital. She got a room and they immediately gave her some painkillers. "Oh thank god I feel so much better."
"I'm glad, text Chloe though, she should be here by now."
"Yeah I will. When can I have this kid already?"
"The doctor said you're dilated to about 6 centimeters, so you have a while to go."
"Oh ok."
Beca decided to call Chloe.
Hey, Chlo.
Oh! I'm surprised to hear it's you. You seemed like you were in a lot of pain.
Yeah, well they gave me some painkillers and stuff. I'm at 6 centimeters, so when are you coming?
She's up, she's dressed, I'm just trying to build up the nerve to drive. I'm terrified.
Chlo, I need you, please come.
You'll have Jesse....
I want to see my daughter, Chlo. Can Jesse come pick you up?
Ok, thanks Bec
No problem, see ya later.
"Jess, you gotta go pick Chloe and Harper up. Chloe's too afraid to drive."
"Ok..." He said. "How do I get her to calm down."
"Put on the radio and have her sing and if that doesn't work, tell her to FaceTime me."
"Alright, see you later."
Jesse drove home and knocked on Chloe's door. "Hey, Beca said you were nervous, and she told me to pick you guys up."
"Yeah," she said quietly. "Thanks."
"No worries, she said FaceTime her if you get nervous."
Harper ran into her dad's arms. "Daddy!!! Is my baby brother here yet?"
"Not yet, sweetie, I'm just coming to pick you guys up." Jesse smiled. "We'll be in the car, Chlo."
Chloe nodded, then picked up her purse and her laptop. She took a deep breath and closed the front door behind her. Jesse put on the radio, but it wouldn't calm her down, so she facetimed Beca.
She answered almost immediately
Hey, Chlo. You doing alright?
I'm kind of in panic attack mode. It's just so scary and I hate night time and everything, I'm so so so scared Bec. You have to help me through this.
Shhhhh it's ok, Chlo. Calm down. Everything will be ok. You'll go sit in the waiting room with Harper and Anna's on her way too, and it'll all be ok.
I can't stay with you?
No, Chlo Jesse's gonna be with me. I promise you'll be able to see me in a little while. Anna's going to be with you too.
O-ok...we're here now. See you later. Hope everything goes well.
Thanks Chlo. Just remember to breathe and that it'll all be ok.
Jesse held Chloe's hand and walked her and Harper into the waiting room. "See you guys later. Chloe, if you need anything, text me."
"Ok, tell Beca I said good luck."
"I will." Jesse turned around to walk away.
"Wait, Jesse." Chloe said. He turned around. "Just, thank you, I've been in the way of you and Beca lately and thank you for being so supportive."
Jesse gave her a hug. "Chlo, you're just as much a part of this family as the rest of us. You don't have to thank us, because you're family, and families help each other out, with nothing in return. And we will help you through this, Chlo. I promise."
"That means the world Jesse, thanks. Alright! Next time I see you, I want to see a baby boy in your arms." Chloe smiled.
"Alright, Chlo. See you."
He went back into the room. "Hey, Bec. Any news on when you're having the baby?"
"Not yet, they said my blood pressure is really high and so is my heart rate, so I'm a little worried. They're trying to figure that out. How's Chloe?"
"She's ok. I told her she doesn't have to worry about anything because she's family and we'll always be there for her. The poor thing is terrified of everything. I gave her a hug but I think she really needs you."
"She does, I promised her she could come as soon as possible. I just hope everything goes well. He's gonna be premature, though, so I'm worried about complications."
"Well are you feeling ok?"
"Just a little weak, I'm ok though."
"Oh..."
"Jess, I'm fine, I promise."
The doctor came back a few minutes later. "Ok, you're at 9 centimeters. Are you ready?"
Beca smiled. "Yep!"
The doctor smiled. "Ok! Dad, if you could just stand over her and position her legs."
Jesse did as the doctor said, and everything went fine. "Here is your beautiful baby boy! What's the name?"
"Michael Levi Mitchell-Swanson," Beca said as she took the baby in her arms. She started crying. "Jesse, he's beautiful."
He wrapped her in a hug. "Just like you."
The doctor smiled. "I'm gonna take him to the NICU because he's so premature, but he looks healthy."
Beca frowned. "Can my best friend see him first, she's been so supportive through this entire 9 months and she's in the waiting room. Please?"
"Sure! I'll go get her for you. What's her name?"
"Chloe Beale. My daughters with her."
"Oh ok."
Chloe came back a few minutes later, and sat down next to Beca. "Beca, he's beautiful, may I hold him?"
"Of course!" Beca said as she handed Chloe the baby.
Chloe held the baby, and tears started forming in her eyes. "I'm so proud of you."
"Aw, Chlo, thank you. I'm proud of you too."
The doctor took the baby from Chloe. "He's gonna stay in the NICU overnight."
"Ok," Beca said, "thank you."
