Fight for her
Chapter five
Knock, knock, knock!
Beca wasn’t sure if she was imagining that sound or if it was the big headache that she has.
Knock, knock, knock!
She felt something move next to her and she opened her eyes slowly and she could only see red. Chloe. She looked around and she notices that they were in the couch. She looked under the blanket they had in top of them to see if they were naked and sighed in relieve when she saw they were still dressed with their costumes.
Knock, knock, knock!
“Becaw! Open up! I have to go!”
“Mak’it stop Becs…” Beca smiled at Chloe who was starting to wake up and move carefully out of her to open the door.
“Sorry Jess, I was passed out” She opened the door and there was her little girl and Jesse who start laughing at what she was wearing.
“Mommy…you look so funny!” Beca smiles at her daughter and picks her up. “I miss you so much mommy”
“I miss you too baby” Beca held her daughter tightly. “Thank you Jesse”
“Not a problem! Did you finish your work or do you were trying to find a tree or something to climb red panda?” He laughs and Casey giggles.
“Hey! I like it okay? It’s warm”
“And fluffy mommy, so fluffy” Beca laughs and then she remembers how badly her head hurts.
“Okay Beca! See you next week!”
“See ya”
“Bye daddy!”
Beca closes the door with Casey in her arms and goes to the living room where Chloe is still passed out. Her make up from the day before is all ruined and her hair is a mess but Beca can’t stop smiling at how cute the redhead looks right now. “Mommy…you’re making that face”
“What face sweetie?”
“The one you make when you’re listening to your favourite music or when I’m doing something cute, which is always”
“I think you’ve spent too much time with aunty Bree”
“I miss her but I’m right mommy! You’re making that face”
“Sweetie I’m not making any faces” Beca kisses her daughter on the cheek. “Not at all”
“Yes, you are mommy! I’m going to start calling it, the Chloe face, because lately you always put that face when you’re looking at Chloe”
“What?” Beca say it too loudly and Chloe woke up.
“What’s going on? Is Casey okay? Beca?” Casey giggles and Chloe looks up at them.
“Wow red thank you! I see…my daughter is first and I’m second…okay, okay…I see how this goes” Chloe gets up and smiles at them.
“It’s a hard world Beca…and sorry but this-“ she kisses Casey in one of her cheeks “beautiful-” the other cheek “little-” and the nose. “girl, will always go first”
“Now I’m hurt” Casey hugs Chloe tightly leaving Chloe face in front of Beca’s who is smirking at her.
“I go first mommy! Deal with it” Chloe laughs loudly and Beca stays there with her mouth completely open in surprise.
“Casey! Who teach you to talk like that?”
“Aunty Bree” She smiles proudly at both of them and Beca sighs.
“Okay beautiful girls! I’m going to have a shower because Tom is picking me up in an hour and I want to be ready” Beca frowns at Chloe.
“Who’s Tom?”
“He is a friend of mine, why?” Chloe wasn’t looking at Beca, she was picking up her things from the floor to take them upstairs.
“No reason. I haven’t heard you talking about him” Casey looks at her mother and hugs her without saying anything.
“That’s because I met him last week Becs” Chloe looks at Beca smiling but her smile disappear when she sees Beca’s face. “Becs? Are you okay?”
“Sure. I have to take a shower too so hurry up” She didn’t show any emotion when she talked and that worried Chloe.
“Are you sure?”
“Chloe, go have your shower okay? You don’t want Tommy waiting for you” Chloe frowns at this.
“It’s Tom, and I don’t know what’s gotten into you but don’t pay it with me”
“Mommy…” Beca looks at her daughter and kisses her forehead.
“We can have a bath together in your room, what do you say chipmunk? Do you want to have a bubble bath with mommy?”
“Yes! We haven’t had one since forever” Beca starts walking her way to the stairs with Casey still in her arms when Chloe speaks.
“Beca…”
“Have fun Chloe”
Beca couldn’t stop thinking about it. What if that was a date? What if Chloe has been seeing him this whole week? What if he is the reason why Chloe pulled away last night? Yeah, she was drunk but she totally remembers the kiss they had in the kitchen. And now that she thinks about it…she needs to clean the pantry…
She has her eyes closed and she has her head in the edge of the bath while Casey is in top of her legs with her head resting in Beca’s shoulder. She loves these moments with her daughter when they can stay in silence enjoying each other. Even if her mind is where Chloe is.
“Why don’t you tell her mommy?” Beca looks at her daughter who is playing with the bubbles now.
“Tell who what baby?”
“Chloe. Why don’t you tell her that you love her?” Beca was in shock.
“Baby…why are you saying that?” Casey turns around so she is looking at her mom.
“Because it’s the truth mommy! You are in love with Chloe! She told me so”
“She told you that I’m in love with her?” Beca didn’t know what to think about that.
“Of course not! She doesn’t know that. She told me what love is. She told me how people who are in love look at each other and it’s the same way that you look at her and she looks at you. Besides, I’ve been watching a lot of movies with daddy and every time I saw a romantic scene I saw Chloe and you mommy” Beca didn’t know what to say…How could her daughter think like that? It was really that obvious that she was in love with the red head? Was she? “It’s destiny mom…and you can’t fight destiny”
“Sweet heart…since when are you so smart?” before Casey could answer Beca kept talking. “Don’t say anything your aunty Bree would say” Casey giggles.
“I was going to say that I’m smart because I’m your daughter mommy” Beca held her daughter tightly to her and kisses her head.
“You’re the best thing in my life baby, never forget that”
“I know mommy! I love you”
“I love you too, baby girl” Casey got up and took her towel. “Where are you going?”
“We are going to say to Chloe that you love her and that I want her to be my half mommy, come on”
“Baby, we can’t do that. She is out with that Tommy boy”
“And do you want that Tommy boy to steal her from us? I don’t think so mommy. Let’s get our girl”
“I’m not going to let you watch more movies with your dad anymore” Beca got out of the bath and they both quickly got dress and got into Beca’s car.
“You have to go to the dinner next to my school” Beca looked at her daughter completely surprised.
“How do you know that?”
“I texted aunty Bree and she told me”
“Because of Stacie…of course! Kid…you’re scaring me today”
“I just want you to be happy mommy!” Beca smiled at her daughter.
“I know sweetie, but even if I can’t get Chloe…I’m completely happy with you” Casey smiles at her mom.
“But better with Chloe” Beca laughs and starts driving to the dinner.
They arrived to the dinner 5 minutes ago but Beca is still inside her car looking at Chloe laughing with Tom inside the dinner. She doesn’t know what to do. Does she go in and says “hey Chlo! I love you” no…she can’t do that. And Chloe seems happy with that boy…maybe he is better for her than herself. She hears the door of the car opening and closing and when she looks behind Casey is not there. She runs out of the car and sees her daughter going inside the dinner and run to Chloe’s table.
“I think so too Tom…but…wait…Casey?” Chloe looks at the little girl running to her. “What are you doing here? Where’s your mom?”
“Is this the girl you’re taking care off?”
“Yes, this is Casey, Casey this is Tom” Chloe then sees Beca running inside the dinner.
“Casey! Don’t you ever do that again okay? You gave me a heart attack” Beca then looks at Chloe and Tom. “Sorry to interrupt but I need to talk to you Chlo”
“Can it wait? I’m in the middle of something here Becs”
“But we don’t want you to leave us for him! We love you! Mommy is in love with you” A few costumers look at Chloe’s table in that moment with little smiles in their faces. “And you have to be my other mommy and you have to marry mom and give me little brothers or sisters and buy me a dog that I will call Titanium or something like that”
“Casey…I…Beca?”
“Look…she said like lots of thing there but she said the truth. We love you. I love you. Don’t ask me why and don’t ask me how it happened because I don’t know. The only thing I know is that I do love you Chloe Beale and I know that you’re on a date right now but I don’t care. I won’t lose my chance to tell you how I feel”
“Well said mommy” Beca smiles at her daughter who was smiling back at her.
“Chloe?” Chloe looks at Tom who is smiling and then to Beca and Casey.
“I quit”
“What?” Beca and Casey talked at the same time.
“I said that I quit. I won’t work anymore for you”
“Oh…okay…I’m sorry then…I leav-“ Chloe cut Beca off when she got up.
“Shut up. This is Tom, Tom this is Beca.”
“Nice to meet you Beca. I’ve heard a lot about you”
“Beca, Tom is the new director of Casey’s school. I met him last week when I went to pick her up because Jesse couldn’t. And he wanted to meet me today to offer me a job”
“Wait, what? So this is not a…date?”
“No it’s not…I’m happily married actually” Tom said smiling at Beca and Casey who were blushing.
“Well…I think…that…Casey and I have to go home…and…watch a movie…right Casey?” Casey pushes her mom to Chloe.
“You know…this was really sweet…and I think you deserve something for it…even if you were being a completely idiot because you were jealous.” Chloe puts her arms around Beca’s waist.
“I wasn’t-“ Chloe puts her finger in Beca’s lips and smirks.
“Don’t even try to deny it Mitchell.”
“Fine…maybe I was a little tiny bit of jealous” Chloe laughs and kisses Beca.
“YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES” Everybody cheer at them and laugh at the little girl.
“I love you too Becs” She whispered to Beca.
