With you
Chloe looked at Beca holing her little nephew and speaking with her baby voice and she was 100% melting at her girlfriend’s cuteness.
“Who’s a handsome little boy? Yes, you are” Chloe felt Aubrey’s eyes on her and she looked at her friend who even after giving birth looked perfect. She was smiling sweetly at Chloe.
“How are you doing?” Chloe asked her and sat at the edge of the bed. “Fine really, he was way easier than Brooke” Aubrey chuckled and Chloe smiled. “You’re next” Aubrey winked and Chloe flushed.
“Mommy doesn’t know she shouldn’t say things like that when I have you in my arms little Lucas” Beca said still using her baby voice what made Aubrey and Chloe to laugh.
“We are here” Jake said walking inside and going straight to Beca.
“Did they behave?” Chloe asked Jesse who had Brooke in his arms.
“Of course they did” Jesse grinned. Chloe thought that he looked like the happiest person in the planet. “Well, your son was all over Emily at the cafeteria, but you know, he is charming like his uncle Jesse” He grinned again and Chloe chuckled.
“Can I hold him?” Jake asked Beca who nodded smiling.
“Sit there” Beca pointed to the little sofa. Jake did as he was told. “Good. Now put your arms like me" He copied Beca and gently she put Lucas in Jake’s arms. “There, don’t hold to tight” She smiled and looked at Chloe who had already her phone out taking pictures.
“Is my sister going to be like this?” He asked smiling and Beca nodded. “Cool” Everyone laughed.
“Would you like to hold him Brooke?” Jesse asked his daughter. She wasn’t thrilled about it when she arrived. Once they entered the hospital she had a tantrum, and that’s why Jesse and the girls took them downstairs.
Brooke nodded and Jesse let her on the floor. She waited for Beca to take Lucas from Jake’s arms and she sat next to Jake. Beca did the same with her and she put Lucas in her arms.
“Cute right?” Jake said to Brooke who nodded smiling at her little brother. Everyone smiled and Beca looked at Aubrey who was crying happy tears. Beca too took a picture of them and sent it to everyone. Emily and Stacie entered the room and melted at the view.
“That’s too sweet” Emily said holding Stacie by her arm.
“Yeah, it almost makes me regret telling you guys we’re getting married” Stacie said nonchalantly. Emily’s eyes widen in surprise and looked at her now fiancée who was now realizing what she just said.
“WHAT?” Everyone said at the same time. Beca took Lucas from Brooke’s arms and gave him to Jesse. Jake got up and went straight to Emily.
“No, you’re marrying me” He said with a little pout and crossing his arms. Chloe got closer to her son and gave him a sad smile.
“Sweetie, we’ve talked about this. Emily’s too big for you, and she loves Stacie” Jake nodded sadly. “Ok, now you have to say congratulations” Jake shook his head no and ran to Beca.
“You pushed him too far Chlo” Beca said chuckling and picking Jake up. “Congratulations guys!” Beca grinned. “Can’t believe you’re getting married”
“Normally, I would say something like, have you think about it? Isn’t it too soon? But hell, I just had a baby, congratulations!” Aubrey said crying and everyone laughed. “Fucking hormones” She said between teeth.
Chloe hugged both of them. “Oh guys! I’m so happy for you”
Brooke hugged Stacie’s legs and looked up to her. “Can I be your flower girl?” She gave her the best Aubrey eyes she could do.
“Of course little B” Stacie said smiling and Brooke jumped up and down. They stood there all together for a while until it was time to leave. The four women left at the same time and Stacie offered to take Brooke with her and Emily.
“Well, I’ll see you guys tomorrow at the party” Beca said at the parking lot.
“Of course, we’ll be there earlier so we can help Aubrey when she arrives” Stacie said and hugged Beca.
“I love you giant idiot! And I’m so happy for you “ Beca whispered to Stacie who hugged her tighter.
“I love you too” They said their goodbyes and left.
6 Months later.
“Jaky! Hurry up dude” Chicago said to his son. Aimee gave birth a month ago and they were having a little welcoming party at Chloe’s house.
“Daddy, I’m not Flash” He said rolling his eyes. “I’m Batman, and Batman isn’t fast” The four of them drove to Chloe’s house and saw everyone there already.
“You’re lucky you’re cute or your mom would be mad at us for being late” Chicago said and chuckled.
“If she gets mad, you have to give her my sister. That’s what Beca does” Chicago and Aimee laughed.
“What?” Chicago said and Jake shrugged.
“When she’s getting mad at Beca, she puts Lucas in mommy’s arms” Chicago and Aimee looked at each other.
“She’s good, I’ll give her that” Chicago said laughing. They knocked on the door and a cheerful Emily opened it.
“Hey welcome! And congratulations on your little girl” Emily said while letting them in.
“Her name is Holy” Jake said proudly. They walked to the living room and saw Beca giving Lucas to Chloe who looked pissed. Chicago couldn’t help but laughed at loud.
“Hey guys! Welcome” Jesse said smiling. “Dude you look tired” He put his hand in the other man shoulder. “You need a beer”
“Chloe, I can hold him if you want to kill Beca” Stacie said laughing.
“That’s actually a good idea” Stacie picked him up and Chloe ran after Beca who was already upstairs.
“Beca” Beca froze in front of her bedside table. She moved in a month after Lucas was born. “Look at me” Beca turned around and smiled.
“What?” She said faking innocence.
“I told you I needed you downstairs with the food. It’s not much what I’m asking” Chloe said annoyed.
“I know, sorry Chlo” She tried to walk pass Chloe but she stopped her.
“Oh no Mitchell, I’m not buying it, what are you up to?” Beca sighed.
“Ok, you got me” Beca kneeled down on one knee and Chloe covered her mouth in surprise, but Beca smirked and turned around running down the stairs.
“Beca Mitchell! You minx!” Chloe ran after her and saw Beca talking to Emily.
“Hey Chlo! You look beautiful today” Beca said smirking and everyone chuckled at the couple.
“Chloe, you can dump her, we are ok with it” Aubrey shrugged. “We like you better” Beca rolled her eyes at her friend.
“It’s a tempting offer” Chloe said crossing her arms.
“Can I have the benefit of the doubt?” Beca said “Ok, now that you’re all here, I want to show you something” Beca looked at Emily who nodded smiling. She took a pen drive from her pocket and plugged it in her computer. She pressed play and music started filling the room.
“Who’s singing?” Chicago asked and Beca lifted her hand up.
“I am” Everyone was looking at Beca but when Emily’s voice filled the room, Stacie looked at her.
“Babe” Emily smiled widen.
“Beca, what?” Chloe asked confused. She was used to Beca sharing all her music with her but she hasn’t heard this one.
“It’s awesome” Jesse said. Suddenly another voice joined theirs.
“Is that Sia?” Aimee asked completely shocked and everyone’s eyes started to widen.
“Are you kidding me Beca!” Chloe slapped her arm. “Why didn’t you tell me?” She slapped her again. “You know I love Sia”
“That’s exactly why I didn’t tell you” Beca was rubbing her arm up and down. She looked to Aimee. “We didn’t know what we could give you as a present so…”
“Beca here discovered you are a huge Sia’s fan” Emily said smiling. “And she thought you’d like to be the first one to hear her new song” Emily finished and Stacie kissed her cheek.
“Looks like you have a type” Jesse whispered to Chicago who shrugged and laughed.
“Becs, you guys are in a song with Sia” Chloe looked like Jake when he was getting pizza for dinner.
“Wow” Aimee started crying. “Sorry, hormones” Everyone smiled and Aubrey nodded.
“Feel you sister” Aubrey said.
“I love it guys” She hugged Beca and Emily. “Thank you so much”
“There’s one thing though” Beca started. “You cannot tell anyone about it or we are fired, mostly me”
“Yeah, I promise, don’t worry” She said grinning.
“Now if you guys excuse me, I have duties in the kitchen” Beca smirked and everyone laughed except for Chloe who rolled her eyes.
“How could you keep something so big from me? You can’t even wait to give me my birthday presents on my birthday” Stacie said laughing.
“Well, Beca knew me before you did” Emily shrugged. “She told me this morning so I couldn’t spill the beans” Stacie laughed harder.
Everyone had a great time and ate everything Beca cooked. One by one they started leaving until it was just Beca and Chloe with a sleepy Jake watching TV. Beca was washing the dishes when she felt two arms around her.
“You’ve been really naughty today” Chloe whispered to Beca.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about” Beca smirked. Chloe let go of her and slapped her arm once more. “Ouch”
“Mommy?” Chloe looked to her son who was at the door rubbing his eyes. “Can you read me?”
“Of course sweetie” Chloe smiled at her son and picked him up.
Beca looked at the interaction and in a rush she dried her hands and walked to them.
“Goodnight little man” Beca kissed him in his head and he smiled.
“Goodnight mommy Beca” Chloe melted and smiled.
Chloe took him upstairs and Beca finished with the dishes. She couldn’t help the giddy feeling she got every time Jake called her that. It’s been more and more usual since she moved in with them.
She moved to the living room and took her laptop. She opened her email and saw she got a new one from Stacie.
To minion;
As my maid of honour you should know that we’ve officially set a date. I wanted you to be the first one to know and I also know that nowadays, you check your email more than your phone.
Beca stopped reading and checked her phone. 2 missed calls from Stacie. She kept reading.
No need to be sorry (yes, I know you that much that I know you checked your phone) I know what life has become for both of you. Anyway, we’re getting married in a year from today. Love you Beca! Stacie.
Beca dialled Stacie and she didn’t even hear the first beep.
“Sorry Stace” Stacie chuckled.
“I told you it’s fine” Beca smiled relieved. She felt like shit. This was something important.
“Why a year from today?” Beca tried to think of any reason.
“None” Beca waited for an explanation but nothing.
“What do you mean by none?”
“We were talking about today, about everyone with their families and then we started talking about the wedding and we decided a year from today”
“Then I’ll start preparing everything right now” Beca smiled. “Who thought someone would tame the hunter” She heard Stacie laughing quietly.
“Not me, trust me” Beca was really happy for her friend. “Well Becs, have a good night”
“You too Stace” They hung up and Beca stood there thinking about what Stacie wrote to her. Since Emily and Beca started working for Amy, their free time has gone by the window. And
the little time Beca had it was a mix between the academy and well, her family. But now she needed to focus on their wedding. It was the least she could do.
“Penny for your thoughts?” Chloe said sitting next to Beca.
“The wedding actually” Chloe froze and looked shocked to Beca. “Stacie and Emily’s wedding” Beca added and Chloe breathed again.
“What about it?” Chloe laid her legs on top of Beca.
“They’re getting married a year from today” Chloe grinned. “And I have less than a year to get everything ready”
“I’ll help” Chloe said happily. “It would be our second wedding this year” Chloe said.
“Yeah…wait what?” Beca looked at Chloe and she was smiling and biting her lip.
“Well, as you and I are already living together…and raising a child…I thought that maybe you and me…” Chloe moved as she spoke closer and closer to Beca until she was straddling her. Beca gulped.
“What are you saying Chlo?” Beca wasn’t sure how she was able to talk. But then she saw the smirk showing in Chloe’s face. “Dude! That was so not ok”
“Well, I needed to make you pay for what you did to me before…you kneeled down” Chloe pointed to Beca. “That was mean”
“I guess you’re right” Beca smiled. “You wouldn’t have been able to handle the situation though” Chloe scoffed.
“I think you mean that you wouldn’t have handled the situation” Chloe kissed her and smiled. “You were shaking already”
“Whatever, the thing is we have one wedding this year, ONE” Beca said and Chloe laughed.
“Actually…” Beca arched her eyebrow.
“What?”
“Maybe we’ll have another wedding” Beca waited. “Chicago came to me today and asked me if it was ok he’d asked Aimee” Beca’s mouth opened in surprise. “Yeah…”
“Wow, I mean, I don’t even know what to say” Chloe nodded.
“I know right? He hasn’t asked her yet but he will” Beca smiled. “He looks happier than ever”
“I’m glad he is happy Chloe” They both smiled.
“Me too Becs” She laughed. “Everything is pretty weird” Beca laughed too. “And all because of you”
“Don’t blame me” Beca lifted her hands in surrender.
“Blame? I’m thankful for it” Chloe kissed Beca gently. “Anyway, that would have happened with or without you in the picture” Chloe shrugged. “You just speeded things up”
“Yeah, I know, sometimes I still feel bad about stealing you from him” Beca looked down but Chloe put her finger in Beca’s chin so she would look up.
“You didn’t steal me, you know that” Beca nodded. She knew that, she even talked with Chicago about it once. But that was the way she was.
“I love you Chloe” Chloe smiled and bumped her nose with Beca’s.
“I love you too Becs” They kissed and hold each other. “Now please tell me everything” Beca chuckled and nodded.
“Well there’s not really much to tell, Emily was working on the lyrics of that song and when she showed it to me it was like something click and I started with the melody.” Chloe nodded. She looked at Beca completely proud. “Well, I finished the song and asked Emily to sing it with me and had the demo ready for Amy” Beca touched Chloe’s thighs so she moved from straddling Beca and she did. Beca took her laptop and play the demo for Chloe.
“Wow…so you sent the demo to Amy” Beca nodded.
“Amy called me like an hour after and told me she loved it and that she was with Sia hanging out, like it was no big deal to be with Sia, and she heard the song too” Chloe was beaming. “Sia wanted the song so…”
“Oh my god Beca… Sia loved your song!” Beca chuckled.
“That’s not everything…you heard Emily and me singing too right?” Chloe nodded. “Sia couldn’t come here to record the song so I sent everything Amy needed so she could do it in LA, but then Sia told Amy she wanted us to be part of the song”
“That means the one we heard before…it wasn’t because you mixed it up?” Beca shook her head no.
“That’s the actual song” Beca smiled. “And…we’ll get to meet her when we film the video…” Chloe was about to scream but Beca covered her mouth. “Jake’s sleeping”
“Beca! You’re going to meet Sia! How? What?” Beca chuckled.
“I think I broke you…let’s get you to bed” Beca said standing up.
“How am I going to sleep after you drop a bomb like that to me?” Chloe was in shock.
“I didn’t say anything about sleeping…did I?” Beca smirked and Chloe jumped to her arms.
1 year later
“We are late because of you” Chloe said to Beca.
“Sorry, I couldn’t help myself” Beca said looking at Chloe from head to toe and biting her lip.
“Come on tiger, they must be waiting for us” Chloe said chuckling and they walked inside a beautiful garden where everything was already set up for the wedding.
“Ok, Emily’s that way and Stacie this” Beca said pointing to two different halls.
“Guess I’ll see you in a few” Chloe kissed her and Beca stood there looking at her girlfriend. “Beca, don’t be a perv. Go with Stacie” Chloe said chuckling and moving to Emily’s door.
Beca kept looking at her until she couldn’t see her anymore. She thought about how wrong Chloe’s thoughts were. While yeah, Chloe looked stunning in that dress, she was actually thinking about how she’d love to be them in white dresses and how beautiful Chloe would look. She knows, she’s seen pictures of her wedding with Chicago.
They’ve been joking about it and Jake’s been telling everyone that they’re married. They spent Christmas with Jesse and Aubrey who also invited Mr Mitchell. And New Year’s with the Beale’s. Beca felt part of the family. She was actually thinking of making it official.
“Midget! Stop daydreaming and come inside” Aubrey said grabbing Beca by her arm.
“Nice to see you too Bree” Beca said smiling.
“You’re late” Aubrey said with her authority voice.
“Dude, I’m like 5 minutes late, chill” Beca said and walked inside the room where Stacie was getting ready. She looked at her friend and she looked like Disney princess. “Wow Stace” Stacie looked at Beca and smiled.
“Thanks Beca, you look great too” Beca smiled and freed herself from Aubrey’s grasp.
“I never thought I’ll see this happening” Beca said tearing up. “Fuck, I’m already crying” Aubrey chuckled and gave Beca a tissue.
“Join the club, and wait to see Emily’s team. They’ve been crying since yesterday”
“I bet she looks gorgeous, I can’t wait to see her” Stacie said.
Stacie’s dad entered the room and put his hand in his heart. “My little girl” He got closer to her and hugged her. “I wish your mom could see you” He said tearing up.
“I’m sure she is here with us dad” Stacie said tearing up herself. Beca and Aubrey looked at each other with tears in their eyes.
“Beca! Look at you! You haven’t grew anything since I saw you last time” Aubrey and Stacie laughed and Beca made a face.
“Always nice to see you Mr Conrad” Beca said with an eye roll. Stacie’s dad laughed and hugged her.
“And Aubrey” He said hugging the blonde. “How’s your little blonde” Aubrey smiled.
“Well, now we also have a little brunette boy, and they’re both great” She said proudly.
“Yeah, actually it’s a little freaky” Beca said chuckling. “They’re copies of Jesse and Aubrey” They all laughed. There was a knock on the door.
“We are starting in 30 minutes” Jesse said from the door and closed it.
“Ok, come on! Let’s finish.” Aubrey said.
They helped Stacie with the last touches and the photographer came to take pictures of them.
“Ok, I’m ready” Stacie said. “Let’s get me married bitches” They laughed and walked out when Jesse told them to.
Aubrey and Jesse walked first, followed by Beca and Chloe. Then Stacie walked to the little altar and waited there. Everyone looked at the aisle and Brooke and Jake walked together hand in hand. Beca chuckled and looked at Chloe who was looking at her son. Everyone’s attention fell at the end of the aisle where Emily was next to her father. They walked together and Beca didn’t know what was better to look at, Emily’s excited face or Stacie’s thrilled one. She decided to keep looking at her friend’s face. If anyone asked her about love, she would speak about Chloe, but after seeing Stacie’s face looking at Emily walking to her, she would tell people about that love, the truest love. What Beca didn’t know was that across from her, Chloe was looking at her the same way.
The ceremony was quick and they moved to the back of the garden.
“I can’t believe they’re married” Aubrey said at their table.
“Yeah…Stacie’s married. I think I might owe someone money about that” Jesse said chuckling.
“They’re so cute together” Chloe said looking at them at their table laughing. She then looked at Beca who had Lucas in her arms and was making him laugh.
“Maybe you should give her one of those so she lets my baby alone” Jesse said laughing and Beca sent him a warning look.
“Whose daddy is a moron? Your daddy is yeah” Beca said with her baby voice and everyone laughed.
“Moron” Lucas babbled.
“Ups” Beca said laughing.
“Have you thought about having more kids?” Aubrey asked Chloe and Beca froze. They haven’t talk about that.
Chloe looked at Beca and smiled shyly. “We haven’t really talk about it Bree, but I guess I wouldn’t mind to have a little Mitchell running around the house and playing with Jake” Beca looked like a fish opening and closing her mouth. Chloe thought she looked adorable all flustered. “But like I said, we haven’t talked about it, yet”
Aubrey grinned and looked at Beca. “That’s great news” Beca looked at Chloe and saw her smiling at her.
“Sure, whatever” Beca said and got up. “Here, he needs a diaper change” she gave Lucas to Jesse and left to the kids table.
“Don’t worry Chloe, she’s just like a little cat, she scares easily” Aubrey said to Chloe.
“Not worried” Chloe smiled and looked at Aubrey. “I know she wants to have kids and marry me” Jesse and Aubrey looked at her with arched eyebrows and Chloe shrugged. “She talks when she’s asleep” Chloe looked back at Beca who was making sure Jake was eating and she certainly couldn’t wait to have another child with her.
“Yeah, I remember that. She was a pain in the ass back at home” Jesse said laughing. “You should’ve seen her when she was trying to come out to our parents” Chloe chuckled.
“Whatever you just said…fuck you brother” Beca said smirking and Chloe told her off. “Come on, everyone is messing with me today”
“But you don’t need to be rude” Chloe said and Beca rolled her eyes.
“She never liked people swearing” Chicago said sitting. “Sorry we’re late, Holy puked when we were leaving and we had to change.
“That’s ok, at least you made it here” Aubrey said. “How are you Aimee?”
“I would really love to say fine” She said chuckling “but I’m so tired” Everyone laughed. “I love her with all my heart but she is handful”
“Can I?” Chloe said and Aimee gave Holy to her.
“Look how big she is already” Beca said looking at her next to Chloe.
“She is almost as big as you Becs” Chloe said laughing.
“You’re against me now too?” Chloe laughed and kissed Beca’s cheek.
“Don’t you want one?” Chloe whisper so only Beca could hear her. Beca looked at Chloe and then nodded smiling.
“She is really not that big, look at Lucas, he is huge” Jesse nodded to Chicago.
“They’re only a few months apart but you can tell the difference” Aimee said.
“Where’s my boy?” Chicago asked Chloe and Beca pointed to the kids’ table. “Thanks”
“Everyone is having kids…I wonder if Emily and Stacie…” Chloe said chuckling.
“I can tell you they will try to make one” Beca rolled her eyes. “That’s going to be a little happiness bomb”
“Why?” Jesse said laughing.
“Have you seen Emily dude? She is like a freaking unicorn on drugs” Beca said chuckling and pointing to Emily who was dancing with Stacie.
“Point taken” Everyone laughed.
“Be good with daddy ok?” Chloe said to Jake.
“Yes mom. I know” He smiled. “See you on Monday” Everyone was leaving the wedding. The only ones left were Beca and Chloe and a few of Emily’s cousins.
“Thank you so much for today girls” Emily said to Beca.
“Our pleasure Legacy” Beca hugged her.
“Here, take this” Emily gave Beca her bouquet. “I didn’t throw it because I wanted to give it to you”
“No pressure” Stacie said jokingly. Beca looked at Chloe who was blushing and smiling.
“Thanks” Beca said and took it.
“Have fun at the honeymoon” Chloe said and a car pulled in front of them.
“We definitely will” Stacie said and grabbed Emily by her waist.
“Gross” Beca answered. “I’ll see you when you get back girls. Em, call me first thing” Emily nodded.
“I will, love you girls” They entered the car.
“We love you too” Chloe said holding Beca by her waist. Their car drove off and Beca and Chloe walked hand in hand to their car. “Let’s go home” Chloe said taking the bouquet from Beca’s hands. “And talk about this” Beca nodded and smiled.
Beca felt nervous, she was sitting in their couch waiting for Chloe to come back from the bathroom. They were having the talk. And Beca felt Chloe sat next to her and took her hand.
“Ok Becs, I’m going to talk and you listen” Beca nodded. “Good” Chloe gave her a little kiss before speaking. “Ok, I know you and I know you must be a little freak out about everything today” Beca gave her a smile. “The things is we’ve been together for almost 3 years now and yes, I want to marry you, and yes I would love to give Jake a little brother or sister from us, but” She took Beca’s hand. “It doesn’t mean it has to be right now…I just wanted to tell you so you know in which page I am” Chloe waited for Beca to take everything in. “Now you can talk if you want”
“Ok…mmm…wow” Beca looked at Chloe’s eyes and breathed. “We are on the same page Chlo” She chuckled. “Yes, I got a little freak out back there but it wasn’t because I’m not ready, cause I am, I just didn’t want you to feel forced to say whatever”
“Becs, I would never say anything I don’t feel” Chloe said smiling and Beca nodded.
“I know, but you know me” Chloe nodded. “Well, I guess I’ll have to propose now”
“I’ll beat you to it” Chloe said grinning and kissed Beca.
“We’ll see about that Chlo”
6 Months later
“I can’t wait to see them” Stacie said to Aubrey and Chloe.
“I can’t believe we are here again” Aubrey said chuckling.
“Everything it’s different though” Chloe said smiling.
The door opened and everyone walked inside the theatre. They were once again waiting in line for the Academy competition. Chloe couldn’t help but think about the first time she was there. When Beca opened up.
“At least you don’t have to worry about the kids” Stacie said.
“Yeah, Chicago and Jesse are married these days” Aubrey rolled her eyes and Chloe laughed.
“Oh, it’s starting” Chloe said grinning.
“Welcome to the annual Music Academy Competition. We have great groups this year. Let’s hear them out, shall we?”
“I think it’s not fair for the other teams that Beca and Emily are allowed to sing” Aubrey said and received a nasty look from Chloe and Stacie. “Jezz, just saying”
“Ready guys?” Beca said to her students. “We are gonna crush it”
“Yes! Let’s do this” Emily added.
Three groups sang before it was their turn. This time they prepare 3 songs each group. They didn’t have the chance to enter the competition last year but Beca needed them to be in this year. It was her last year teaching in the academy and she wanted to leave with a bang. She loved her academy, but she couldn’t stay there and be a producer. She didn’t have time left for Chloe and Jake and she didn’t want that. So here she was, supporting her students one last time.
They sang the first two songs with Emily leading the group. Beca could hear Stacie screaming “That’s my wife” after each song. The third song arrived and Beca joined them. She took a deep breath, and like the first time she sang there, she pictured Chloe, only this time, Chloe wasn’t with Chicago, she loved her and she loved Chloe. Beca started singing with a little help from Emily at the chorus. She wrote the song and together they made the melody.
Running late on a Wednesday
Shortcut by the freeway
Locked eyes as you passed me
Two hearts on a cold street
Looking back at the same time
I feel your warmth, did you feel mine?
I get the urge, but I can't speak
Two hearts on a cold street
I know this sounds crazy
But this could be fate
And I'm thinking maybe
That you feel it too
Tell me are you busy?
And tell me you can stay
'Cause I'm thinking maybe
For you, I would travel to outer space
Take a bullet to the heart just to keep you safe
For you, anything for you
With you, all the years just fade away
Like a dream in my arms, but I'm wide awake
With you, whenever I'm with you
Beca sang her heart out. She didn’t hear the applauses; her heart was pounding on her chest and her ears. They left the stage and waited for the other groups to finish. Before they announced the winner, Beca gave Emily a note and told her to give it to Chloe at the end.
“Here we have the votes from our judges” The same man as last time said. “I think we can all agree that all of these Academies have wonderful artists in them” The crowd cheered. “Ok, let’s do this” He opened the envelope. “The winner of this year music Academy is… Mitchell’s Academy” Everyone cheered and Beca could hear Stacie and Chloe screaming. The group walked to the stage and the man gave Beca the microphone.
“Hey there! Thank you so much for this” Beca said pointing to the trophy Emily was holding. “We were competing with great academies and they deserve this as much as we do” Beca smiled. “I would like to take advantage of this moment to let you know that I’m leaving the Academy” Everyone gasped. “It will still be open and working” She felt all eyes on her, she hadn’t said anything to her students, not even Emily. “I won’t be there and no longer will it be called Mitchell’s Academy, as for that trophy, I would love to have it under the new Academy name” All Beca could hear was silence. “The Legacy Academy” Beca looked at Emily and saw her shocked expression, she had tears running down her face.
“Beca…” But Beca didn’t let her finished. After she discovered that Emily wasn’t interested anymore in becoming a famous singer, she decided it was the best option for both of them.
“The Academy wouldn’t be in better hands” She looked to the man again. “Thank you” With that Beca returned the microphone and walked out of stage. Her now former students followed her.
“Beca what the hell?” Emily said and Beca raised an eyebrow smirking.
“Jezz, didn’t know you could swear” She joked.
“How, what…can you explain this?” Emily asked confused.
“Legacy, like I said out there, the Academy couldn’t be in better hands” She took her belongings. “We’ll talk about it, have to go now”
“What? Beca, wait” But Beca was already moving to the back door.
“Give that to Chloe ok?” She winked and left.
Chloe was in cloud 9. That song had more meaning than everyone else could realize. Beca was talking to her, like the first time. And like the first time, she was in tears. Chloe loved Beca with all she got. She knew from the beginning, what they have was something out of this world. Something that only happens to few people in the world. Real life soulmates. She couldn’t wait to see Beca and kiss her.
They were waiting outside for the girls. Chloe knew about the Academy. When Beca told her she thought it was the greatest idea. Since Emily’s been working with Amy, she’d notice she loved what she was doing, and that she didn’t want the life she once wanted. She asked Beca is she could work at the Academy with her because she had loads of free time and that was all Beca needed.
“That Beca…I swear” Aubrey said smiling. “She’s always doing things like that”
“Dude, she gave Emily her Academy, that’s a fucking big deal. Did you know about this?” Stacie looked at Chloe who smiled and nodded. “Of course you did”
Emily and, her now students, came out of the theatre and Emily ran to Stacie who hugged her.
“You were great babe” Stacie said to her.
“You were all great” Aubrey said to the rest who thanked her and said their goodbyes to Emily.
“Where’s Beca?” Chloe asked. “Is she still inside?”
“She left” Emily shrugged. “She wouldn’t even explain me the whole Academy thing” Chloe was confused. Why would Beca leave without her? “She gave me this for you though” Emily gave Chloe the note Beca left and Chloe took it.
“My beautiful Chloe, sorry I left. Come find me where we first met. Love, Beca”
Chloe’s smile grew. For someone who wanted to be a badass so badly, Beca was such a softie.
“She ok?” Aubrey asked and Chloe nodded. “Good, now let’s have something to eat shall we?”
“Yes please, I’m starving” Emily said. “I have to leave the trophy at the Academy first though”
“Sure, no problem. There’s actually an amazing Chinese restaurant near the Academy” Stacie grinned.
“You coming Chloe?” Aubrey asked.
“No thanks, I’ll see you guys another time” Chloe said and left.
“Do you think she knows?” Stacie asked Aubrey after Chloe left.
“Know what?” Emily asked confused.
“She might, I mean…that song? Beca is not so subtle” Aubrey chuckled.
“Oh my god…why didn’t you tell me?” Emily said to Stacie.
“You know why Em…I love you…but you can’t keep a secret” They laughed together and Emily nodded.
Chloe walked as fast as she could and she got to the bench where Beca and her sat that day but no one was there. She looked around and nothing. She sat down and took the note out of her pocket and read it again.
“Hi, I’m Brooke” Chloe looked up surprised and saw the not so little blonde in front of her. Brooke was smiling and turned around and walked to Jake who was waiting for her at the swings.
“Hey, sorry If she was bothering you” Beca said wearing exactly the same clothes as the day they met. Chloe grinned and play along.
“That’s fine, she is not bothering” Beca smiled and sat next to her. “Your daughter is really cute” The kids got closer.
“Oh, she is not my daughter, she is my niece” Chloe was about to answer but Beca kept talking. “But I have a son” Jake got closer to them and gave Chloe a little box. Chloe had tears in her eyes already. “He has another mom though”
“Does he?” Chloe chuckled and the kids went back to the swings.
“Yeah, she is actually the most amazing woman I’ve known. She is gorgeous, I swear…those eyes? They’re out of this world and well, that’s not even the best part” Chloe had tears running down her face, but her smile was kept in place. “The best part it’s that she is not only beautiful on the outside. She is even more beautiful on the inside” Beca smiled. “And don’t let me tell you how great of a mom she is…”
“Beca…” Chloe half whispered.
“She is one of those people you can never get enough of. She makes Jake’s world brighter and well, she makes me the happiest woman in the world and that’s why I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with them” Beca took Chloe’s hands which were shaking and took the little box from her. She looked directly to Chloe’s eyes and smiled. “3 years ago now I met you in this very same spot and I can still feel the same thing I felt when I laid my eyes on you” Beca chuckled. “There were a lot of people with their children around but thanks to Brooke, I got to the right one” Chloe was shaking. “Never in a million years I’d imagine I’ll end up with someone who loves me as much as you do” Chloe nodded. “I guess, what I’m saying here it’s that I love you Chloe Beale, and if you want, I would spend my whole life showing you how much” Before Beca could say anything else Chloe launched herself to Beca and kissed her.
“Yes, I want to Beca” She said between kisses.
“But I haven’t asked you yet” Beca said chuckling but kissing Chloe.
“I don’t care, I want to marry you Mitchell” Beca grinned and brought their lips together again.
“YES!!” Chloe pulled apart and looked to where Jake and Brooke were jumping up and down with Jesse and the rest of their friends smiling. Beca and Chloe laughed and Chloe looked back at Beca.
“I love you Beca” Beca grinned “You’re a softie”
“None of that, I’m charming” Beca said and Chloe chuckled.
Chloe couldn’t believe how much her life had changed since that very moment a few years ago. She was lucky, she had everything she ever wanted in life and so much more. She’ll keep living a life where love came first with her boy, their future twins (Beca faint when they knew), their friends, Pancake and at the end it would be Beca and her, loving each other until their last breath.
