A/N This will be a multi Chapter and there will be pictures posted somewhere. I will add the link (: Thanks for reading.
Chloe-
Aubrey, Beca and I were watching a movie. Well, Beca was asleep and Aubrey and I were watching. This is how we were after we won the ICCAs. We all became really close friends. All the sudden my phones ringtone brought me right out of my concentration on the movie. I answered it as Beca started to stir.
"Mom?"
"Hey Chloe"
"Can you text me. I'm just really busy?" I lie constantly to her. In reality I didn't want Aub and Beca to hear us argue.
"Whatever you want Chloe"
And she hung up and texted me immediately, yay.
I can't take her anymore- Mom
What do you mean?-Chlo
Lindsay I'm too old to keep raising children. Now that your dad left me, I can't face Lindsay anymore, I'm putting her up for adoption.-Mom
What the hell? That's my sister she's talking about. She's not even a bad kid. My mom is probably tramping around enjoying life leaving her in the dark as usual. But I can't actually say that to my mom.
You can't just do that to her, can you find dad? - Chlo
He's off the radar, do you want her? –Mom
I don't really know how to answer that. I mean I love my sister, I do. But what 22 year old would want to raise a 14 year old? I do live off campus with Aubrey and Beca is moving in for the summer. There is an extra room but I don't know. To sum it up I simply text her an easy I'll think about it and head back to my girls.
"What was that about?" Beca asked me.
"Hey there sleepy head!"
"Don't change the subject" Aubrey jumped in "you look upset"
"My mom doesn't want my sister anymore" I reply sadly
"What's going to happen?" Beca asked
"I don't know" I answered
"Do you want her to stay here for a little bit?" Aubrey offered
"You'd do that for me?" It was my turn to ask questions.
"I love Lindsay; she's so funny and adorable." She simply stated.
"Wow, you warmed up to both of us? I didn't peg you to like kids." Classic Beca always joining in
"Would you mind if she stayed here? It will be your house too." I asked her in all seriousness.
"I can't wait to meet her" She said with a smile.
At that moment I texted my mom:
I'm coming to pick up Lindsay tomorrow around 11. Don't mess her up anymore before I get there. -Chole
Chloe-
We're sitting on our couch looking though some pictures of Lindsay. She looks a lot like me. She has light orange hair, blue eyes, but with no freckles. I always enjoyed seeing her during vacations. She came for the ICAA's. She's musically talented and nice, which Aubrey adores. She's also sarcastic and funny, which Beca will love. I love her because I love pretty much everybody.
"Hey Chloe" Aubrey Asked me
"Yes? "I replied
"Do you need somebody to go with you to pick up Lindsay Tomorrow?" She asked me.
"Would you like to go?" I asked her.
"Of course!" She stated
"Do you think Beca is going to like her" I asked nervously.
"Everybody loves Lindsay"
"Except my mom" I told her
'She must be heartbroken"
"Yeah last time I talked to her at the ICCAs she seemed down. Then my dad left her and took my brother Chris with him. My mom loved Chris he was her baby, so in response she started to hate Lindsay. I wish she told me sooner."
"She can stay as long as she wants you know, we can make some weird family arrangement for her. You me and Beca."
"I might have to take you up on that" I replied.
Morning:
Beca wanted to go with us but I don't want to over whelm Linds, or Beca in this case. Aubrey and Lindsay have gotten along since Lindsay was born. They are practically sisters. We have an hour ride ahead of us. We decided on jamming out together in the car. This should be a positive experience for Linds, living with the people she loves. We love her too. I am kind of nervous for her to meet Beca though. When my house comes into view my heart is accelerating. I get out of the car and There she is waiting for me. I smile at her and give her a hug. She looks different. She has a black eye and flinches at my touch. That will not go ignored later. She has two suitcases, Small ones.
"Is this all your stuff?"
"Yeah" She replies. "Mom wanted to keep some stuff for the house and all."
We easily fit all of her stuff in the truck and she sits into the back. She seems happy to see Aubrey.
"Hey kid"
"Hey Aubs"
She has a pillow in her hand and is asleep by the second song in our session. We sing quitter and she slept the whole way home. I see Beca peeking out the window. She would never admit to it though. Before I wake her up we bring her stuff and Aubrey legit carried her in. She wakes up halfway back to the house, and basically turns it into a big hug. I love them together. I can see Lindsay hasn't had quality sleep in a while. When we walk in Aubrey just sits on the couch with her. Lindsay falls asleep of course right there. Beca comes out and mouths a little awl. Lindsay is the same height as Beca. If she weren't a red head, they could be twins.
"Long ride?" Beca asks
"She slept the whole thing" I said slightly laughing "plus me and Aub had an awesome jam session."
"What can I say?" she smiles giving me a hug
"I think somebody hit her"
"Yeah I noticed the black eye" I replied
"Want to wake her up?" She asked me
"No" Aubrey whispered from across the room. I could tell She was attached to Lindsay.
"I can tell you both get your good looks from the same person" says Beca with a wink
"Thanks BECKY" I wink back at her. Her face was truly priceless.
Then Lindsay started to freak out in her sleep. Aubrey immediately woke her up. Then I took a nice deep breath.
….
Aubrey-
I never got to be the big sister before. I honestly love it. The last couple weeks with Lindsay have been fantastic. Me and the girls love the way our family dynamic works. Chloe is the one who is always happy, and can make you happy at just any moment. Beca is the witty, hilarious and instrumental one. Lindsay, is the precious one, so sweet, funny and athletic. I think of myself as more as the motherly one, especially with Lindsay.
Especially the other night, when we were all sitting on the couch.
We were watching the big bang theory when Beca admits, "I'd so bang Penny."
Lindsay decides to add, "I'd so video tape it."
All of our mouths just opened wide.
"Lindsay Marie Beale!" Added Chloe
"I'm sorry, that wasn't very lady-like. What I meant to say is I'd so video tape it, put it on the internet for money, then, give the money for charity."
"At least she's being generous!" Beca charmed in.
At this point we were all in hysterics.
After that, Beca and Lindsay have been joined at the hip with their jokes and sarcasm.
I like this sister/ girlfriend/Mom deal I have going, Life is good.
Chloe-
Tomorrow is the day. The day I have to call my mom and have her willingly give up Lindsay so I can adopt her. The past two months have been great with me and the girls. We're at her third lacrosse game right now. It's her special way of her blowing steam. She gets called a lot for her aggressiveness, but it's funny. She is an angry kid when she is on that field. I know something went on at home that she's not ready to talk about just yet. I have a feeling Bree will get it out of her. Bree and I are one of the only people in the world she lets touch her. She's alright with Beca but she has her flinchy moments. There is only 5 more minutes left in the game. They put her in. She's never placed on offence before. She aggressive stole the ball from somebody (and wasn't called out for it). I could see the anger in her face as she whipped the ball into the net. Then her anger faded and she was happy again. Beca, Bree and I probably never cheered this loud in our lives.
After her victory and first goal we went back to the house and she passed out on the couch. This is a perfect example of her typical after sport behavior.
"Are you going to talk to her tonight Bree?" I asked.
"Do you think she'll be up for it?" She asked back.
I was about to respond when my phone went off. As saved by the ring because honestly I didn't know.
Not so easy playing parent is it? Ready to give her back? –mom
Wasn't planning on it, Ready to make things official?- Chloe
Are you serious right now? You are in your 20's what are you going to do with a 14 year old girl?-mom
Easy, show her love, care for her, go to all of her games, help her with school, hug her when she's crying, take care of her when she's sick, celebrate when it's the right time, and show her what it's like to be part of a family. Help her up when she's down. I'm ready to adopt Lindsay. –Chloe
Chloe, that was one of the most beautiful things I've ever read. You have my blessings. I'll fax the papers. I raised one girl right, I love and miss you- mom
"Bree guess what!" I couldn't hide my excitement when I was speaking. I mean were going to adopt our Lindsay. Both Beca and Aubrey were incredibly happy. I was happy enough to wake up my sister.
"Guess what kid?" I asked her.
"Yes larger child?" She responded.
"your all mine and I'm going to have the papers to prove it!"
"No way!" her eyes lit up and for the first time in a very long time, she initiated the contact between us. Never have we been this happy.
Aubreys POV-
I was just getting home after working a late shift. Both of my ladies were asleep, so I figured I would I would do some paperwork out in the living room, than sleep on the couch when i have finished. I was not really that tired anyway. About halfway through my papers i heard a couple little footsteps and some sniffles. I turned around and saw little Lindsay in a tee shirt and shorts, with glassy eyes and tear stains on her face.
"What is wrong honey?" I asked.
"What did I do?" She asked me.
"What?''
''The one person in the world that should love me and want me by default, decided she didn't want me anymore. I do not understand what i did wrong. Did she only love me because daddy did? Why is it in every single movie i watch i can find meaning to my life, and it all goes back to mom? Why do movies resolve but life doesn't? Why was i worthless to her, when daddy took the baby? I WAS THERE FIRST. Why didn't he want me either? Why is it that i wasn't the baby so i got hit instead of love? Why? WHAT DID I DO?" She cried and yelled at the same time. It was definitely necessary for her to branch out to one of us and discuss this topic.
''come here'' I said as i laid her down on my lap. She hid her face in my shoulder and jus bawled. As awful as his moment was, it needed to happen.
''I don't know what happened bud, but I can tell you this. Whatever happened, sweetie, it wasn't your fault.'' I told her as I rubbed her back.
The sobbing died down and I had realized she had fallen asleep. It was only a bit past midnight, so i decided I might try to sleep too. But I couldn't. I texted chloe, I summoned her out into the living room. We needed to talk. She came out looing a bit mad, but when she saw Lindsay, she understood.
''What happened?'' She asked.
I told her everything Lindsay said, and everything made sense. The nightmares, the bruise, the crying. Everything fit. We were on the way to fixing our baby.
Chloe POV-
It was the next morning when i got a letter in the mail with no stamp or return address, but it was addressed to me.
Chloe,
You deserve an explanation. I heard about everything. You adopting Lindsay, and that your mother did what she did to her. I am so so sorry, I take responsibility. I had to take Chris and leave your mother. If i ever would have considered her a threat to Lindsay, I would have taken Lindsay in a heart beat. What happened to her wasn't fair, and i want to fix it. I want your mother out of the picture. I have taken a couple steps towards this goal. I have officially divorced your mother, and made sure she had no legal rights to Linds. I cannot imagine what you girls are going though raising Lindsay, and I want to help in anyway I can. Attached to this letter is my first, non-court ordered child support. I really want you to see i am making an effort here. I would like to formally invite Lindsay to come spend the day with Chris and I and maybe meet my new girlfriend, Ashley. She has already accepted chris as her own, and knows about the whole situation. I really want to give you and your girls a day that you don't have to be mothers. Maybe the three of you could come for dinner, to finish Lindsay's day at my home, and take her home with you? I am really sorry about everything that has happened. I have recently moved into the new home a couple blocks up for you, so anything you need, i mean anything, please call me or come find me. I am here for you.
Love,
Dad.
He had attached court papers, his own large sum of child support, a paper with a picture of his home and the address, a picture of him, Chris and Ashley, and finally his contact information. He had proven everything in his letter was valid and i decided to hang it on the fridge. Letter on top of course, i wanted everyone in the house to read it, and out of curiosity, they will.
''Whats that you got there, babe?'' Beca asked.
''Read it'' I told her.
After she was done reading it, she asked me what i had thought. I told her the truth, I wanted Lindsay to see him, ask him questions and I wanted to do the same. I wanted them to meet him to, and we all needed to see Chris, it has been to long. I called Dad later and verified everything. Lindsay will go over, and me and the girls will be able to have a day to ourselves. The letter was such a distraction, I almost forgot about Lindsay's branch out to Bee last night. Almost.
