#((when they're in a little more lax setting like a little restaurant where things are a bit more intimate))

Jake and Amy celebrity AU.
HCs on : Welcoming the baby, getting snapped together by the paps while at a restaurant or shop with their kiddo. Also getting seperately snapped with their kid.
PS: make it a fic, please.
Pre-P.S.: feel like that would be a really... story-less fic though. And I'm saying that as someone who can write 5k words on just one evening where nothing big happens (do need to finish that one, too...).
- They obviously can't hide the end of Amy's pregnancy when she appears on red carpets with her giant belly, and tbh she's way to happy and proud to want to hide it! But Jake also gets a bit overprotective concerning paparazzi, and they both answer interview questions with the same empty lines they've settled on, revealing basically nothing about the kid except that of course they're all prepared but don't know what they'll do, of course they've gotten some wonderful gifts from famous friends, of course they'll try to be as hands-on parents as they can be even with their jobs, blablabla
- When Mac finally comes Jake literally only tweets "BRB, gotta do the dad thing for 18 years now I think" to which Amy (via Rosa) replies "Forever, babe" and that's the last anyone hears of them for 40 days. Gina does the pre-planned baby announcement on Jake's official, blue-ticked twitter that she commands, and Rosa re-tweets it for Amy, but that's it.
- Getting pap-snapped with their kid the first time they're out and about is genuinely the only thing that has ever made Amy and Jake angry in public. They're well-known as being some of the nicest people in the Hollywood world to work with, but Jake literally hunts down the paparazzi a block from the baby clothes store they were caught at and demands to see the pictures. Luckily bébé is not really visible in them because he's hidden in his slingwrap against Amy's chest, so he lets the pap go with only a warning
- they otherwise do a great job keeping him out of any pictures or spotlights, even keeping his name mostly a secret. Fans know him only as bébé (said with an overly dramatic fake French accent, as Jake does during his Insta videos) and peanut (which Amy uses when she tweets about him). But there are of course those blurry, far away pap photos of Jake cradling a little bundle in his left arm while getting Amy's customary on-set coffee, and shots of Amy with a loaded stroller covered with muslin fabric so bébé is hidden.
- they get a little bit more lax as he gets older, especially on their personal Insta-accounts, but even Stories are pre-set and timed to show maybe a week or so after they actually happened, and vetted by Rosa and Gina, who have a really good eye for catching things in the background / info they wouldn't want to share. Fans do love those little glimpses into what seems a wonderful yet chaotic homelife (Amy has mentioned on several live-chats now what a mess Jake can create, and that his son is 'very much like daddy' in that regard).
- Jake mostly does Bad Dad Joke posts and posing with baby gear without any baby in it just to rile people up
- also, a few years down the line, these two pictures definitely happen, but both with Jake:

Seeing the discomfort in her eyes broke Randall’s heart, and he suddenly felt like a heel for asking this question, one that (however unintentionally) had dredged up some awful old feelings for her. His heart went out to her, hearing how she struggled with that strange transition from stage to screen, and how discouraged she felt, to the point that it brought her to tears at times.
“W-Well, I can assure you,” he said gently, resisting the urge to take her hand in his to pat, wanting to comfort her, but not get too personal in doing so. “It was not a mistake to leave Broadway for Hollywood, Emily, not at all. Y-You’re such a wonderful actress! I-I never had a chance to ever see you on the stage, b-but I’ve seen you on the screen, and...i-it gives me a very good idea of what you were like back then. E-Even if you struggled, i-it didn’t show in your performance: Y-You’re so...natural!” She was effortlessly natural in her expressions, her body language, how she carried herself on the screen, and it was one of the (many) reasons Randall found her such a delight to watch.
“I-I’m just sorry to hear that you felt so stressed out w-when you were making Poor Cinderella,” he finished gently, fully prepared to offer her his handkerchief should she need it. “I...I’m terrible sorry, Emily.”
