Screwed

Chapter Twenty-Six

You guys have every right to hate me. I promised you a new chapter and what did I do? I disappeared again. All I can say is that I am soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo sorry. I’m a fanfic reader myself so I know how much it sucks when a fanfic you’re reading just stops updating, but now that I’m a fanfic writer I see the other perspective. So while I can’t promise that updates will be as frequent as they were before, I can promise that no matter how long I disappear that you won’t ever have to worry about this fanfiction being left unfinished. It’s my first one, and it kinda my baby. Maybe it’ll only take me a couple months or hell it may take me five years, but you guys will have an ending to this story. Chapters may be a little shorter, but that's only so I can get them out faster!

Now without further ado, here’s chapter twenty-six!

(26)

She’s cranky.

Beck is pretty sure it’s because of the baby, but Jade is so cranky and tired and hungry all the time.

Like right now, she’s stomping off to the bathroom, grumbling about how she wants pizza and ketchup.

The cravings get weirder and weirder the bigger she gets.

But he enjoys every moment of it, because he loves her, loves their baby, and he wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world.

So, he listens to her half-hearted grumbles about weird food combos as he props up What to Expect When You’re Expecting in his lap. He’s been doing good at work and he knows that they need to seriously baby proof their RV if they’re going to be staying here for a while.

And they are. Because no matter how good he’s doing, he’s not doing apartment-in-LA good.

He knows that they need a lot, bottle warmer, bottles, diapers, clothes, a crib, stuff that they cannot afford right now.

“Did you order my food?” Jade says as she comes out of the bathroom.

Beck blinks, his eyes moving from the book to his girlfriend. When was he supposed to order food?

Jade growls. “Did you not hear me complaining all the way to the bathroom about wanting pizza!?”

“Yes but-”

“So you heard me, but you didn’t order it!?” Jade snaps. Beck lets out a breath, fighting the urge to roll his eyes. It’s the hormones, he reminds himself.

He can’t wait for their little girl to get here.

“Do you want me to order you pizza Jade?” he asks, shifting so that his book falls from his lap.

She purses her lips, shrugs one shoulder before she plops down beside him and says, “If you don’t mind.”

Beck shakes his head before pressing a light kiss to her forehead before he turns to his nightstand and starts to dial the pizza place. Jade grabs the book from his lap.

“What to Expect When You’re Expecting?” she asks with a snort. “Seriously?”

“There’s nothing wrong with being prepared.” Beck says as he brings the phone to his ear. “Speaking of prepared, we need to talk about some things.”

Things that he was sure they should have handled a long time ago.

“Like what?” Jade asks, flicking through the pages of the book.

“Are you going to breastfeed?”

“Uh-”

“Shi-I wasn’t talking to you.” Beck says into the cellphone, and when Jade realizes what has happened, she burst out in laughter. He roll his eyes, but the sight of her laughing after everything makes the incident worthwhile. “Can we have one large-”
