[Four Years Later...]
"Mama! Daddy!"
"What's up, pumpkin?" Beck asked, lifting his daughter, Aria, onto his lap.
"I wanna baby brother!" Aria giggled, causing Beck and to exchange a look. "Or a baby sister!"
Jade smiled, her hand slyly sliding over her stomach.
"Well, what made you decide that?" Beck asked her, surprised.
"My friend at school has a baby brother!" Aria exclaimed, pronouncing 'friend' as 'fwend.' "She showed me a picture once! He's really cute!"
Beck chuckled. "Well, you gotta talk to mama about that."
"Mama, can I have a baby brother or sister?" Their daughter asked, her eyes big and hopeful.
A small smile graced her lips, trying to resist the urge to place her hand on her stomach again so Beck wouldn't notice. "Maybe soon. Who knows."
Beck's eyebrows raised at that, but he shrugged it off. There was no way she was pregnant again.
"Yay!" Aria hopped off of Beck's lap and ran to her room, giggling happily.
Beck then turned to his wife. "You're not pregnant again, are you?"
Jade shrugged, standing up from her spot on the couch. "I gotta take a shower."
"But you didn't answer my question- "
"I can't hear you," she sing-songed, walking away and into the bathroom.
He huffed, leaning his head back against the couch. "Well, there's no way she can be pregnant. She's on the pill...I think."

Later that evening, Jade had convinced Beck to get all nice and dressed up for a date she had planned.
He didn't know what the special occasion was, but he didn't question it.
He got dressed up in a nice black button-up, with fancy-enough slacks and his usual converse. He hoped his didn't look too bad.

He wondered why Jade had planned a date for them. But she was just being nice...they hadn't had a date in a while.
Jade had called Cat to babysit Aria, and the perky red head was more than excited to watch over the adorable little girl.
Aria had inherited basically most of Beck's features. Tan, olive skin, beautiful chocolate eyes, long brown flowing hair. She was beautiful, no doubt about it.
She was only four, but an exact replica of Beck.
Jade loved that her daughter looked so much like her father. It melted her heart to look into those gorgeous chocolate eyes she loved so much.
Cat had came and picked up Aria, taking her back to her house with her husband, Robbie.
Yup, Robbie and Cat had gotten married two years after Beck and Jade did, and they were very happy together.
And as for Andre and Tori, they had gotten married around the same time Cat and Robbie did, and were expecting a baby boy.
"You look handsome," Jade remarked, walking into their bedroom, adorned in a beautiful black dress that hugged her curves in all the right places.
He turned his attention to her and took in her breathtaking appearance. "And you look beautiful, like usual."
She smiled brightly and pecked his lips. "Thank you. Now, are you ready to go?"
Beck nodded. "You gonna tell me why we're going on a date tonight?"
Jade arched an eyebrow. "What, do you not want to go on a date with your amazing wife?"
"Not what I said," he chuckled. "Just wondering is all."
"Well," she placed her hands on her hips. "You're just gonna have to wait and see."
He raised his eyebrows and cocked his head at her. "A surprise, huh?"

"Yup," she said, popping the 'p.'
"Lead the way then, Mrs. Oliver."
"With pleasure, Mr. Oliver," she replied, leaving the room as Beck eagerly followed.
~•~•~
They had their date at a beautiful yet simple restaurant, and after they had finished eating, Beck looked at his wife.
"So," he licked his lips. "Care to tell me why you wanted to take me here?"
Jade grinned, tilting her head at him. "Beck, have you ever thought about us having another child?"
He felt his heart stop.
"Y-You're, y-you mean...really?"
Jade nodded, still grinning brightly at him.
It took every ounce of strength in his body to not jump up and run over to her and lift her up in his arms.
But when they left the restaurant quickly after, he did exactly that.
"I can't believe it," he breathed after setting her back down on her feet. "You're really...wow."
Jade laughed softly, wrapping her arms around his neck as she looked up at him. "Well you better believe it, babe. I have another little human stuck inside of me."
A huge grin graced his lips, and he placed his hand against her stomach."How long have you known?"
"A week," she replied, placing her hand over his that stayed on her stomach. "I took a pregnancy test yesterday just to make sure. Sure enough, it was positive."
"Wow." Beck ran his fingers through his hair, shocked but excited. "Another baby...Aria's gonna get what she wants after all."
Jade rolled her eyes playfully. "As she always does."
"What do you want them to be?"
"I'd like a boy," she answered as he stroked his thumb over her stomach. "We already have a girl."
"I have a feeling the boy would be exactly like you," he chuckled, kissing her softly.
"Wouldn't doubt it."
~•~•~
After they picked up Aria from Cat's and headed home, Beck and Jade decided to break the amazing news to their daughter.
"Hey pumpkin," Jade said as Aria plopped onto the couch. "You remember how you said you wanted a baby brother or sister?"
Aria giggled. "Yep!"
"Well," Beck and Jade looked at each other, then back to their little girl. "Do you still want one?"
"Yeah!" Aria exclaimed excitedly. "Are you having a baby, mama?"
Jade nodded, smiling softly. "In nine months I am."
"Yay! I get a baby brother or sister!"
Beck laughed lightly. "You sure do."
"What are you gonna name them?" Aria asked her parents.
"We don't know yet," Jade answered her. "But if it's a boy...I kinda like the name Benjamin."
Beck's eyebrows raised, his breath catching.
That was his brother's name, and she definitely knew that.
"My brother?" He asked above a whisper.
Jade looked at him, nodding. "If you want to...I like it."
Beck smiled, tears stinging his eyes. "I like it too."
~•~•~
Nine months later, Beck and Jade welcomed their baby boy into the world.
Aria got what she wanted, a beautiful baby brother.
Beck and Jade couldn't be happier at this point as Jade held their baby boy in her arms, and Beck was right. He already looked like an exact replica of his mother.
Benjamin Reed Oliver.
