Safe Heaven
Beca woke up feeling someone pocking her face. She opened her eyes slowly and saw bright blue eyes staring at her. She saw the cheeky grin and smiled herself.
"What are you doing in my bed?" Jake asked and continued pocking Beca's face.
"Morning bug" Jake chuckled and Beca put him in bed with her."I came yesterday to see you but you weren't home so I waited for you" Jake smiled at Beca and hugged her.
"Jake, let Beca sleep come on" Chloe whispered from the door. When she looked inside she saw her son in bed with Beca. Both awake. "Did he wake you up?"
"Just a little, but she came to see me so it's ok" Jake said grinning to his mother.
"Is that so?" Beca looked at Chloe and smiled. Images from last night coming to her mind.
"Yeah, of course, I wanted to see my bestie here" Beca tickled Jake who laughed. "What else would I be here for then?" Beca smirked at Chloe who shook her head.
"Well, now that you're awake why don't you come downstairs and we can have some breakfast" Jake nodded and ran out of the room while Beca got up and walked to Chloe.
"Morning Chlo" She looked outside and then she kissed Chloe softly.
"Morning to you too" Chloe smiled and kissed Beca back. "Come on, before he come looking for us" They went downstairs and Chloe had everything ready for breakfast. "I made pancakes. I hope you like them"
"Really? How long have you been awake?" Chloe chuckled.
"Since this little man arrived an hour ago" Jake was stuffing his face with pancakes. "Slow down Jake, no one's taking away your pancakes" She chuckled at her son. For a moment Beca got lost in the moment. She could get use to something like this. Waking up and having breakfast with both of them.
"When do you have to go to work?" Beca asked Chloe.
Chloe checked her watch and her eyes grew. "I should be on my way already. Jake we have to go"
"Hey, relax" Beca said and walked to Chloe. "Why don't you go to work and I can take Jake to daycare?"
"Yes mommy! I want Beca to take me" Chloe looked at Beca unsure.
"Come on, go. I know where his daycare is come on, go go" Beca pushed Chloe softly and she laughed. Chloe ran to get her things and kissed Jake goodbye. She looked at Beca and they both understood without saying a word and Beca winked. Chloe left and Beca stood there with Jake. "Oh! We have to go too" Jake laughed at Beca. "Come on, let's get you ready"
They both got ready and Beca dropped him off at daycare. Chloe had called the teacher to tell her someone else was dropping Jake off. Beca then drove to her house and saw Emily at the door.
"Morning Legacy" Emily looked surprise to see Beca there.
"Miss Mitchell" Beca chuckled and waved her off.
"I think you can call me Beca now that you and my best friend are....well whatever you are" Emily smiled and nodded. "What are you doing here anyway? Stacie is at work"
"Yeah I know, I was actually here to talk to you, if you don't mind" Beca nodded and opened the door for the both of them.
"Want some coffee?" Beca asked on her way to the kitchen with Emily behind like a lost puppy. She nodded at Beca. "Well, what is it then?"
"I wanted to ask you if you were ok with me and Stacie?" Beca looked shocked by the question. "Is just that we wanted to make it official and and wanted to know if you were ok with us?"
"Emily even if I had a problem with it...which I don't, that shouldn't matter to you" Beca sighed. "I know I was a bit...skeptical about this at the beginning but it was just because I didn't expect it at all" Emily nodded. "Look the ones who need to be sure about this are you and Stacie. Not me" Beca smiled at the younger girl "If you guys are happy that's it" Emily grinned at Beca and hugged her. "Ok..ok"
"Thank you Beca" Emily smiled. "Stacie wanted to talk to you last night but you didn't show up" Emily wiggled her eyebrows at Beca. "Were you with Miss Chloe?" Beca blushed. She was not going to have this conversation with her student.
"Emily...let's better not..." Beca was interrupted when her phone rang. "Hello?"
"Becs! Can I ask you for a huge favour?" Chloe seemed worried.
"Sure, What's up?"
"Could you go to Jake's daycare and pick him up? They called me saying he was throwing up and Chicago can't go and I can't and...."
"Woah woah, I'll go don't worry"
"Thank you Becs. I'll pick him up when I finish"
"Sure, no problem. I'm on my way now" Beca took her stuff and asked Emily to come with her. She didn't want to leave the girl there on her own.
"I owe you a big one"
"Bye Chlo" She hung up and smiled awkwardly at Emily. "We have to go and pick up Jake. I mean I have to go but you can come" Emily nodded.
"Sure, let's go. I like that kid" Beca chuckled at that. Beca drove to Jake's daycare and went inside once they arrived. Jake was sitting in one of the chairs outside the administration office. He looked very pale.
"Jake" Beca called him and he looked up at her. His eyes full of tears. "Hey bug, it's ok, I'm here" Jake hugged Beca and cried.
"You must be Miss Mitchell" A woman said. She seemed like the headteacher. Beca nodded and picked Jake up in her arms. "Jake wasn't feeling so well after he arrived and started throwing up" Beca touched his head and he was cold. No fever. "It looks like something he ate made him sick" Beca nodded.
"Thank you, I'll tell his mother and I'll check on him" The headteacher nodded. "Come on bug. Let's go to my house"
"I want mommy" His voice was weak.
"I know little man but mommy is at work." She caressed his back. "But I have someone with me that you may like" She walked them to the car and sat Jake in the bag seat. He looked up and saw Emily there. "Em could you sit in the back with him please?" Emily nodded and changed places. Jake was shy with her.
By the time they were at Beca's house Jake was asleep. Beca picked him up and took him inside the house. Emily helped her with the door. She put him on the couch and sat next to him. She checked for fever again but it didn't seem he had. She left him there and walked with Emily to the kitchen. "You can stay for lunch if you want" Emily smiled and nodded. "We can go together later to the Academy and that way you can be here when Stace arrive."
"Sounds like a plan" Emily smiled at Beca who was texting Chloe.
To Chloe: He is here now. He seems fine. Probably too many pancakes this morning.
"I'm curious. How did you and Stacie...well met?" Beca was wondering since she saw them making out for the first time at the door.
"It was the day of the competition actually, remember that we went out for drinks?" Beca nodded. "Well, we did. And by the time I was leaving there was a man who was being...too touchy...and out of nowhere Stacie arrived, pushed him away"
"Such a knight in shining armor this Stacie" Emily laughed.
"She saved me and then asked me if I was ok" Beca smiled. "She told me she recognized me from the competition and couldn't let anyone do that to one of Beca's student" Beca rolled her eyes and chuckled. "I was so touched by her actions that I couldn't help but asked her out and she said yes" Beca had to admit that it was actually really cute. "What about you and Chloe?" Beca looked at the sleeping boy in the couch.
"We met at the park with Jake and Brooke" Emily nodded. "And that's it...really"
"Love at first sight. I knew you two were something that day at the Academy..and your song...what a heartbreaking song" Beca chuckled.
"Yeah, I guess you're right"
Chloe was leaving the school in record time. She knew her baby boy needed her. She drove to Beca's house and when she arrived Emily was the one who opened the door for her. She thanked her and walked inside. She spot her son sleeping on the couch next to a sleeping Beca. She took a picture of them and let them sleep for a bit more.
"We were watching a movie and when I looked both of them were asleep" Emily smiled at Chloe and Stacie came out of the room.
"Hey Chloe" Chloe smiled at Stacie and saw the way Emily's eyes lighted up looking at Stacie. 'They're cute' She thought as Stacie put her arm around Emily. "What did you do to the midget last night that she is so tired?" Stacie wiggled her eyebrows at her and Emily giggled.
"What? Nothing" Chloe said flustered. She knew Stacie liked to tease Beca but it was the first time she did it to her.
"Mommy?" They looked down and saw Jake waking up. He moved and Beca woke up as well.
"Hey sleepyhead! How are you feeling?" Chloe got closer and sat with them. She touched her son's forehead. "You seem fine" He nodded and jumped to his mother's arms.
"He is fine" Beca sat up as well. "He ate some chiken soup that Emily made" Chloe nodded and smiled.
"Thank you so much girls" Beca waved her off. It was then that Jake noticed Stacie with her arm around Emily. He got up from his mother's lap and walked to Emily with his hands up. "He wants you to pick him up" Beca chuckled at Stacie's face. Emily picked him up and Jake showed his tongue to Stacie.
Beca got up and put her hand on Stacie's shoulder. "You've lost this battle Stace" Stacie rolled her eyes and laughed with Beca. "Come on Legacy, we gotta go" Beca went into her room to get change and Chloe followed her.
"Need help?" Chloe smirked and Beca blushed.
"Dude! don't do that" Chloe laughed and got closer to Beca. They both looked to the door and then to each others lips. "We shouldn't here Chlo...he is right outside" Chloe took Beca's hand and walked her to the door that was closed. She pushed Beca to the door.
"Now they won't be able to open the door and I can thank you for today" Beca couldn't protest. Chloe's eyes were looking her up and down. She then took the redhead by the neck and closed the space between them. The kiss was full of passion. Hands were touching each other and then someone knocked at the door. They were both breathless. "Coming" She winked at Beca and gave her a quick kiss before opening the door.
"I still need to get change so...it will be a minute" Chloe chuckled and walked out the room with the other girls and Jake.
Beca hated Halloween. But when certain blue eyed boy asked to go trick or treating with him and his mom she couldn't say no. So there she was, in front of a house waiting for Jake to knock and get it over with. "Thank you for coming with us Becs" Chloe smiled at her. She was wearing the perfect costume if you asked Beca. Chloe was dressed as Anna from frozen and she looked perfect. Jake was Batman of course. "I like your costume" Beca didn't have much time to get a costume so she asked Stacie to do her make-up as the boy from the movie Coco. She had her guitar with her and she played a bit for Chloe and grinned. "You're a dork" Chloe laughed.
They were meant to be at Aubrey's house around 11pm. She was throwing a party with all of their friends. It was a party with kids allowed of course. So once they were finished with trick or treating they would go to Aubrey's. Jake was the happiest kid alive. His bag was full of candy and he was going to a party with Brooke and both of his parents. Yes, Chicago was also invited to the party and Beca didn't know how she felt about that. She knew he was ok with whatever it was happening between her and Chloe, but one thing was to be ok with it and another to see it with his own eyes. So Beca felt a bit unsettled.
"When is daddy coming?" Jake asked his mother who looked at Beca.
"We will see him at the party sweetie. He had to finish something before coming" Jake nodded and smiled.
"Is he coming with that girl?" Both Beca and Chloe frowned at Jake.
"What girl sweetie?"
"The one who is always at his house when I go there" He said like it was the most normal thing in the world. "Aimee? I don't remember her name" He chuckled to himself.
"Is Chicago dating someone?" Beca asked quietly to Chloe. She shrugged. "Guess we'll see today"
They arrived at Aubrey's house and once Jake and Brooke saw each other they ran and disappeared inside the house. Chloe and Beca chuckled at them and said hello to Jesse who was at the door dressed like a vampire. "Really dude? I thought you'd be something better than Edward Cullen" Beca laughed at her brother.
"Shut up Miguel" Jesse said obviosly referring to Beca's costume. Chloe laughed at the two siblings and walked inside to Aubrey who was the wicked witch of Oz.
"Wow Bree! You look...." Chloe started saying but Beca cut her off.
"like your real self" Beca grinned and both Chloe and Aubrey laughed. It seemed that Aubrey had had a few drinks already or she would have snapped back at Beca.
"Oh Chloe, Chicago was looking for you" Aubrey said pointing to the garden. Chloe nodded and looked at Beca who understood and smiled at her before she went to find Chicago. "It seems like you two are doing ok?" Beca nodded smiling.
"So far, so good" Aubrey nodded and smiled. She was happy for her friend.
"Don't mess it up" Aubrey said and winked to Beca.
"I won't" Beca rolled her eyes but laughed. She suddenly felt someone hugging her from behind.
"My little Beca" Stacie was already drunk.
"Hey" Emily said to Beca smiling. They were wearing an angel outfit and a devil one. Guess who was who?
"You guys having fun?" Beca asked knowing the asnwer already.
"Yes! This party is awesome Bree" Stacie said to the blonde who chuckled.
"Did you come with Chloe, Beca?" Emily asked and Beca nodded.
"Yeah, she was looking for Chicago somewhere around there" She pointed to where the redhead went.
"Chicago is the exhusband right?" The other three women nodded at Emily. "Ok. Got it"
"Let's get some alcohol in you midget" Stacie said and took Beca away. They drunk and they danced with each other. At some point Beca danced with her brother. She was having a great time but Chloe was nowhere to be found. She then went for a glass of water and she saw them talking with another woman. 'Maybe that's Aimee" She thought to herself. And as if Chloe noticed Beca looking at her she looked back and smiled. She signaled her to come over to where they were. And she did.
"Beca!" Chicago said and hugged her. He must be as drunk as her. "Glad you came" Beca nodded and smiled at him. "This is Aimee" The brunette woman offered her her hand and Beca took it.
"Pleassure to meet you, I'm Beca" Aimee nodded.
"You too. You're Chloe's girlfriend right?" At that she froze and looked at Chicago who was just smiling at her and then to Chloe who seemed to be as froze as her.
"Yes she is" Chicago said. Beca and Chloe looked at each other and smiled awkwardly. They haven't got to talk about them yet. "Chloe's being telling me about your Academy Beca. It seems like you have everything figured it out right?"
Beca chuckled "Hardly, but yeah I think at least I'm getting there." Chicago nodded smiling. He seemed really happy. "What about you Aimee? What do you do?"
"I actually work with Chicago" They blushed. "We've known each other for years but we started to work together now that he asked to stay here" They smiled at each other. Well, it seemed that Chicago had indeed moved on.
"That's cute" Aimee and Chloe nodded.
"So Chloe, Jake is staying with you tonight right?" Chloe nodded.
"Good, then I'll go and play for a bit with him before leaving" Chloe smiled at that. "Wanna come Aims?" The woman nodded and waved goodbye to Beca and Chloe.
"So...that was something else..." Beca said laughing and sitting down next to Chloe.
"Indeed" She laughed too. "I'm happy he found someone" Beca smiled at Chloe. "She seems like a good girl" Beca nodded.
"Yeah, and she looks really into him" Chloe nodded.
"I know right?" They laughed. They were both ignoring the elephant in the room. "Wanna dance?" Beca nodded and took Chloe's hand. They walked where everyone was and danced all together. People started to leave the party and Chloe went to find her son. Jake and Brooke were in the little girl's room both completely asleep.
"He can stay here and you can pick him up tomorrow" Jesse said next to Chloe.
"You sure?" He nodded. "Thanks Jesse"
"Don't hurt her ok?" Jesse said to Chloe. "I know she seems super tough but she isn't, just don't hurt her" Jesse smiled to Chloe who nodded.
"I won't"
"Midget you have the house to yourself. I'm staying at Emily's tonight" Beca nodded to Stacie. Chloe arrived with Jesse.
"Where's Jake?" She asked.
"He's staying here tonight" Stacie looked at Beca and wiggled her eyebrows. Beca just rolled her eyes.
"We better get going then, Chloe you take care of our midget" Beca flipped her off.
Chloe saw Emily and Stacie get into a cab. "Why don't you go with them?"
"They're staying at Emily's tonight." Chloe nodded and they looked at each other and smiled shyly.
"Can I stay over then?" Beca nodded and they walked to Beca's house which was just a few blocks away.
"Are you ok with you know..." Chloe looked confused at Beca. "With what Chicago said?" Chloe understood and then smiled.
"Yeah I guess I am, are you?" Beca nodded smiling. They arrived at Beca's house and she opened the door. Before Beca could react, Chloe was closing the door with Beca's body and she was kissing her. "I've been waiting all night to do that" She smiled at Beca.
"Worth the wait" Chloe chuckled. "You can change into anything you see in my room. I'm going to wash this off" She pointed to her face and Chloe nodded.
Chloe entered Beca's room and looked in her drawers and took a pair of trousers and a tank top. She changed and got into bed. When Beca arrived she was already in her PJs, and jumped into bed with Chloe.
"Are you staying with me tonight?" Chloe asked surprised.
"If you don't mind" Chloe shook her head no and cuddled her. Chloe had her head on Beca's chest and she could hear the other woman's heartbeat. She then tried something. She caressed Beca's stomach where the fabric of her shirt was a little up revealing some skin. She listened how Beca's heartbeat speeded. She smirked to herself and got up on her elbow. "What?" Beca asked a bit flustered. Chloe didn't answer she just went in and kissed her. Because she could. Because she wanted and because she didn't want to wait anymore. She needed Beca. She needed all of Beca and she was going to show her just how much she did. Beca stopped her. "Are you sure?" Chloe nodded neededly and kissed her again. This time Beca kissed her back with the same passion and need. It was their first time. The discovered each other's bodies and made each other shudder. They kissed each others freckles around their bodies not leaving anyone behind. They made love to each other like nothing else in the world matter. It was their safe heaven.
