It had been 3 years and 3 months since Chloe Beale last saw her crush Beca Mitchell, it had been 2 days since she had last crossed Chloe's mind that was at least until Chloe decided to take her 16 month old twins to the park. She sat on a bench as she watched Madison and Michael play in the sand box thinking about everything that had changed since Beca had left.
Chloe thought she had found love again when she met Becs. But it turns out Becs was someone who shouldn't be trusted. When Chloe found out she was pregnant Becs chickened out and ran leaving Chloe to raise their twins by herself. She had one boy and one girl whom she named Madison Kathleen Mitchell after her sister who had died of Cancer at the age of 13 Kathleen Madison Beale and Michael Edward Beale after her grandfather on her mother's side Lucas Michael Edwards who had died 3 months before the babies were born. While she was pregnant Chloe took a job as a 2nd grade teacher at a local elementary school in Atlanta Georgia. It wasn't her dream job but it was a steady source of income and what she needed make sure that Michael and Madison never went hungry or without a roof over their heads. They weren't living in the best neighborhood but they were together. After Chloe's grandpa died and left money to the young woman she decided it would be better to move out of the apartment they were in and into a duplex closer to the school and in a better area. She didn't know at the time but the people who had just purchased the other side of the duplex were one of her best friends Stacie and her cousins Aubrey and Jessica. Chloe hadn't seen the three girls since before she got pregnant. They talked all the time however but she was ashamed to tell them about the twins. It was hard to keep the babies a secret after she moved in. However Jessica Aubrey and Stacie were very supportive they weren't disgusted by the fact that she was a single mom as she had expected they would. Instead the twins now had 3 aunts that they could rely on as well as Chloe.
It was nearly a year since they moved into the duplex and everyone was happy with the way things were.
It was the first sunny day of spring and that is what led Chloe and the twins to the park. Some could say it was fate some say chance others just pure luck but whatever it was that pulled Chloe to take the twins to the park knew that it would change 3 lives.
Beca Mitchell had been coming back from her dad's house and decided to walk through the park to enjoy the Georgia sunshine. She had just moved back to Atlanta to finish college after she had made it big in LA. Beca Mitchell was a famous music producer for Capitol Records and a popular DJ at many LA night clubs but ever since she left LA she felt a piece of her was missing. When she came back to Atlanta she knew who she wanted to find. Her best friend and crush Chloe Beale. It had been over 3 years… she didn't know if Chloe was single dating or married but she had to find her. She always regretted never telling Chloe how she felt and whenever she brought a woman home it felt like she was cheating even though they never dated.
Beca didn't know where to start looking for Chloe. She didn't know if any of the Bellas knew where Chloe was so as she walked she was typing out a mass text until she heard it. The familiar laugh, one that used to make her smile like an idiot and she knew she had to find the owner… she kept looking around the park for any redheads but behold there wasn't a redhead in site. Just as she was going to give up hope on finding Chloe in the park she heard the laugh again and her eyes quickly found familiar piercing baby blues. A smile broke out on the DJ's face as she quickly walked up behind her crush; she leaned down and whispered in her ear. "Hey stranger it's been way to long."
The former redhead jumped about a foot off the bench and turned around to smack whoever scared her. When she saw the DJ standing there she lowered her hand and a smile broke out on her face. "Beca?"
The woman nodded and walked around the bench to pull her friend into an embrace. "It's me Red. It's really me and I've missed you."
"I've missed you too Beca it's been a long time."
"To long Chlo way too long"
Chloe broke into a smile as a little giggle interrupted the two woman's reunion and Chloe turned around to face her twins. The giggle had come from her daughter who had shoved a bucket on her older brother's head. Chloe bent down and took the bucket off Michael's head before grabbing her kids' hands and turning back to Beca. "Beca I want you to meet the two most important people in my life. These are my kids Madison and Michael. Madie Michael this is a good friend of Mommy's Beca Mitchell."
Beca looked down at the kids before looking at Chloe. "They are cute Chlo who is the lucky man?"
"Their other mother Becs left when I found out I was pregnant. She didn't want to have kids so I am a single mom."
Beca didn't know that Chloe had been into woman but now that she knew someone left her alone pregnant made her furious. "She just left you to raise two kids by yourself?"
Chloe nodded a few times and looked down at her babies who were yawning. "It's almost nap time why don't we get some lunch and you come over and we can catch up while the kids sleep?"
Beca nodded in agreement and picked up one of the twins. I like the sound of that. After they put the twins in their car seats Beca climbed in the passenger side of Chloe's jeep and they took off to the nearest Taco Bell. Beca smiled and slid her hand in Chloe's as they drove. For Beca it couldn't have been a better way to spend the day and she was thinking of asking Chloe out after they reconnected.
