Hey guys! So I got inspired by a beautiful song by Jamie Lawson called "Wasn't expecting that", but don't you worry I didn't use the sad part of the song, especially that the second part of the inspiration came from one of the ''Friends'' episode called "The one with the ride along" ;) Hope you'll enjoy it and if so you can check out my other stories ;)


When Chloe burst one day to Beca's apartment, crying her eyes out because she just found out that she got pregnant by Tom, who, after hearing the news, in a matter of 24 hours packed his bags and left the city, she didn't expect her life to turn the way it did.

She wasn't expecting anything more than a comforting hug.

She didn't expect to hear the promise that everything's gonna be alright because Beca personally will take care of Chloe.

And she didn't expect that the brunette will keep her promise.

At least, not the way she did.

It started innocently when months later she found herself again crying in Beca's arms. Bills for doctors appointments and vitamins kept coming and Chloe was afraid that soon she'll have to live on the street. She didn't notice the determination in Beca's eyes or that her grip on the redhead tightened when she spoke those four words.

"Move in with me."

Four words that started the change in their life.

Chloe was slightly reluctant, she didn't want to be a burden for her. But Beca was adamant about it, saying that splitting money for rent and food should help them both, and Chloe had to give in.

She didn't know back then that Beca was paying most of it anyway and at the same time working overtime to save some money and secure the two...well, the three of them.

She didn't know that soon it became the reason that Beca got promoted a couple of times and in 5 months time she found herself being on the top in the studio, becoming one of the main music producents.

She didn't expect Beca to held her hair while morning sickness was making her life a misery.

She didn't expect to receive foot massages almost every night when they started to hurt her.

She didn't expect to see Beca punch Tom, breaking his nose when they saw him in the city one day. (Okay, maybe that she did expect a little bit. And although Chloe was never the one to encourage physical violence, she might have been proud of Beca. And she might have kissed her on the cheek after all, as a thank you).

And finally, she didn't expect to start having feelings for Beca.

That's why she was so hopelessly oblivious to them.

As for Beca, she didn't really think about it. Everything she's done, it just felt like a right thing to do. So when Bellas started helping them and buying things for their kid (because yes, Stacie claimed it was THEIR kid) such as a baby carriage, crib, toys, clothes, diapers and all that shit you need when expecting, and their apartment became cramped she did the only logical thing that came to her mind.

She bought a house for them.

A friggin' house with three bedrooms, office place for Beca, two bathrooms, huge kitchen, even bigger living room and beautiful garden with swings for the baby.

To say that Chloe was shocked was an understatement. When she saw the house, she almost jumped on Beca, completely forgetting about her baby bump. The brunette yelped and put her arms around the redhead to make sure they won't fall.

"Jesus Christ, woman, do you wanna hurt us all?" she asked with a smirk on her face. But Chloe only hugged her tighter and started planting kisses on her cheeks, repeating "thank you" after every single one of them. Beca blushed but didn't say a word, quietly enjoying the embrace.

You see, Beca started developing feelings for Chloe too. And Beca being Beca was even more unaware of them than Chloe.

Such possibility didn't come to her mind, not even once during those 9 months. Not even when she was voluntarily driving in the middle of the night to the nearest 24-hour store or fast foods, when Chloe was craving for peanut butter with pickles, cheeseburgers, hot wings or, as gross as it sounds, french fries with mayonnaise and chocolate sauce on it.

When the baby finally came to the world, the brunette shocked everyone once again.

Not only was she with Chloe for the whole labor, she was also holding her hand and stroking her hair as she tried to help Chloe with breathing, just as the instructor taught them (because surprise, surprise Beca went to every single childbirth classes with Chloe).

When Chloe's daughter was finally...well, out of Chloe and the doctors finished their usual check up, one of the nurses came and put the crying baby in Beca's arms, motioning to her to bring it to Choe. The brunette was slightly surprised but started to rock the baby and the minute their eyes met, she relaxed.

The little creature in her arms stopped crying and stared at Beca with her piercing blue eyes, exactly the same as her mother's. Beca smiled, looking at the little human and didn't notice that tears started forming in her own eyes until they streamed down her face.

She couldn't deny it. Beca Mitchell, who hated children and cringed every time someone asked her if she wanted to have them, was completely in love with the baby. But how could she not be? This was Chloe's child, after all. Suddenly she heard Chloe clearing her throat and speaking with tiredness in her voice

"Becs, not that I'm complaining but I would like to finally see my daughter." The brunette finally looked at the redhead and frowned for a second.

"Huh? Oh shit, yeah, yeah Chlo, of course, I'm sorry." When Chloe took the baby in her arms, Beca used her now free hands to wipe the tears from her face and asked

"How are you going to name her?" Chloe kissed her daughter on the forehead and smiled.

"She looks like Charlotte."

"Charlotte it is then."

The first months of their new life showed how big of a softie Beca is. Charlotte, just like her mom, wasn't a big fan of sleeping alone in her crib (did I mention that although both their old apartment and their new house, had enough bedrooms for Chloe and Beca, the redhead refused to sleep alone when it wasn't necessary which meant that they were sleeping in one bed every single night and Beca had to buy double bed at some point). Because of that, at least once a day you could find the brunette sleeping in various places in the house with Charlotte sleeping on her chest, secured by her arms.

Beca was also the champion of lulling Charlotte. No matter how grumpy the little girl was, all it took to calm her down was Beca singing softly to her. The only person who could beat her in this competition was Chloe, which wasn't that shocking given that she was her mom.

Although all the Bellas were great with Charlotte ( Amy claimed that she was the best almost-mother in Tasmania) you couldn't miss the special bond between Beca, Chloe, and Charlotte.

That's why very often when the three of them went to the park, the restaurant or another public place, some stranger would stop them to comment how lovely family they make and how great it is to see so much love between two people. Once they even met their old friends from Barden, who exclaimed loudly that they always knew that the two of them would start dating at some point and asked if they were already married. Every time something like this happened, Beca would blush furiously and try to protest, making Chloe laugh in the process. (After a tenth time, she stopped trying, deciding to just roll with it)

Time was passing and Charlotte grew bigger with every single day. By the time she was two, Beca's name was already pretty big in the business. She had the chance to work with such artists as Nicki Minaj, Katy Perry or Sia (which made Chloe freak out when one day she stopped by the studio to say 'hi' and saw that the artist who happens to sing her lady jam, is currently warming up at the booth).

Chloe, on the other hand, found a job as a teacher in a private kindergarten. Although she loved her job she was quite irritated that the management refused to allocate some of their funds so that Chloe could start a music program.

One afternoon, she got back home very much frustrated because another of her request got rejected. She threw herself on the couch, face down and groaned in frustration. A few seconds later she heard footsteps and raised her head to see very concerned Beca, kneeling in front of her.

"Chlo, what's wrong?"

"They won't listen to me!" she huffed and sat on the couch. Beca sat next to her and stretched her arms to hug the redhead, who immediately got closer to her, hiding her face in the crook of the brunette's neck.

"It's not much for them, I know that they spent twice as much on a stupid sports program but they just won't listen! Becs, music is so important and I know that some of my kids are so, so talented and I could help them develop their skills!" she mumbled with her mouth pressed against Beca's skin as the brunette kept on stroking her hair lightly.

That moment, she said nothing but a few days later, Chloe noticed that she was excited about something, looking at Chloe expectantly every time they saw each other after work.

A week later Beca came home after long day at the studio. When she closed the door, hoping that there's at least one beer left in the fridge, she noticed smirking Chloe who was waiting for her by the set table.

"Where's Cherry?" she asked putting her hands on her hips, with a small smile on her lips.

"Asleep." Chloe got up and slowly came to the brunette with her arms crossed over her chest.

"What's all this?" Beca questioned, motioning to the table where besides two plates she saw two bottles of her favorite wine. But Chloe ignored her and said instead

"I know what you did, Mitchell."

"And I don't know what you're talking about, Beale." she quickly responded.

"Really, you don't? Well, today, when I got to work, I was greeted by the principal himself. He was extremely nice and said to me that he changed his mind. That he can see how passionate I am about music and that kids love me and that I'm absolutely right and we can't waste the chance to help them improve their skills. So he'll give me as much money as I want and let me buy anything I want, to start the music program."

"Well, aren't you happy?" Beca smirked and mimicked Chloe's pose, crossing her arms over her chest.

"Oh yes, I very much am. But there's more. You see, I got suspicious because just like that he changed his mind, when just a week ago he didn't want to hear a single thing about it. So I did some digging and heard a rumor that a couple of days ago some big fish from music industry called him and said that if he won't make up his mind, he'll lose all of his sports funds and some of the major contributors will stop supporting the school. That very same person promised to sponsor the music program, they also said that expense is no object as long as Ms. Beale will be in charge of everything and that he's very lucky to have me as one of his staff."

"Huh, really? Well, congratulations. I suppose that this person has to be extremely smart." Chloe shook her head and hugged the brunette, laughing quietly.

"Thank you Beca," she whispered in her ear " I'm so glad that I've met you. You're one of the best things that ever happened to me."

"Love you too, Chlo. But what's for dinner?" the redhead grinned like a Cheshire cat and spoke.

"Take a guess."

"No way...you made mama's Beale recipe lasagne?!"

"Yeah."

"Oh my God, I want to marry you right now!" Beca exclaimed and run to the oven to take out the lasagne. Chloe giggled at her friend's antics and followed her to grab garlic bread.

While someone could say that Beca was doing all those sweet little things and grand gestures for Chloe, receiving nothing they'd be very much wrong.

Beca wasn't stupid and knew that she was talented. But even though she knew that and that she had lots of experience she still sometimes had doubts about putting her music out there. Some of her works were so personal that she felt vulnerable even thinking about millions of people hearing it.

Besides that, her work was extremely stressful. She had to meet expectations not only of international stars but also their fans, all over the world. And that's where Chloe was coming as her deliverance.

The redhead was the most supportive person Beca had ever met. She was always honest with the brunette, telling what in her opinion needed more work. She always knew which songs Beca should share with the world and which one she'd later regret sharing. She was holding her and singing to her to sleep when the shorter woman couldn't sleep during a really stressful time at the studio.

She was the one that wiped her tears when not everything was going smoothly for her.

She was there for her when Beca opened her own label and the nerves wouldn't let her eat without throwing up afterward.

Chloe was the reason that Beca stayed grounded when the success finally hit her with full force. She was also the reason that Beca stayed sane and healthy, despite everything that she went through on the way to the top.

Some more time passed and everyone could tell that the two were hopelessly in love with each other.

Well, everyone BUT Chloe and Beca. The Bella's were frustrated with their old captains and even Aubrey agreed that they should sack up and start dating each other. One evening they sat at Jessica's and Ashley's apartment and again the topic of their idiot friends came up, brought by very frustrated Stacie

"You know, I don't get it. They live together. They sleep together. They...well, they practically have a baby together. They're looking at each other the way Amy looks at the last piece of cheesecake. They haven't dated anyone in three years and that says something because Chloe could have anyone, any day, God even me," she stopped when Aubrey slapped her arm, glaring at her "..sorry babe, you know I was kidding. Anyway, the same's with Mitchel. She used to bring home different girl every Friday, and now what? She's being all domestic with Chloe and lil' Cherry and doesn't care or rather, can't tell even when Demi Lovato tries to seduce her." she finished her rant with a sigh, followed by gasps from the Bellas, who processed what they just heard.

"That Demi Lovato? She tried to get into our hobbit's pants?" Amy asked in disbelief.

"Yeah, she was all over her. I saw that myself." Stacie said with a smirk on her face.

"That's it, we've got to step into the game." Cynthia Rose stood up and started pacing in front of the girls.

"What do you have in mind?" Fat Amy asked and grinned at her.

"It's time for plan 'Bechloe' "

But plan "Bechloe" didn't work out. And the same was with plans "Bechloe 2.0", "Bechloe 3.0", "Bloe" (Fat Amy was convinced that the name was wrong and was bringing them bad luck, but when "Bloe 4.0" shared the fate of its antecedents, she lost her hope).

Sometime later, Charlotte or rather Cherry, because that's how everyone was calling her now, was about to turn 4. Chloe, Aubrey, and Stacie were sitting in Beal-Mitchell mansion, planning a birthday party for her when suddenly Beca burst to the house with a bouquet of red roses in her hand.

"Chloe? Chloe, where are you?" she called out. The redhead left the kitchen frowning.

"What's going on Becs?" the brunette threw herself at Chloe, hugging her tightly

"Oh my God, you have no idea, it was like "Final Destination" when I escaped that bullet...where's our baby girl? Cherry? Cherry? Charlotte?" she passed Chloe and wanted to go upstairs but the redhead grabbed her hand, forcing her to stop.

"She's with my parents...but wait a minute! A bullet? What are you talking about, where? Are you okay?" Chloe looked at her with a terrified expression and put both her hands on Beca's cheeks, checking from head to toe if she was alright, as if she was expecting to see wounds from bullets on Beca's body. The brunette covered Chloe's hand with hers and looked her in the eyes, smiling softly.

"Yeah, I'm okay. But I realized something and I need to tell you now. You see, when I heard those shots in the parking lot, I thought that I'm gonna die and I'll never see my family again. And when I say family, I mean you and Charlotte. You're my family and..."

"Wait, someone was shooting at your studio's parking lot?!" Chloe almost yelled, her pupils wide in fear.

"Well, yeah...I mean, no. Almost. It turned out that one of the intern's car fucked up and the sounds came from the exhaust pipe..." The redhead took her hands away to cross her arms over her chest and stare at Beca who stopped to take a breath but totally missed the "are you fucking kidding me?" look on Chloe's face and continued "..anyway, when I was dying...well I thought I was dying I thought that life's too short and we can't spend it pretending."

Chloe's face was now filled with amusement as she was wondering what the brunette had in mind.

"We can't pretend anymore that we don't love each other, Chlo. I can't...I can't pretend. Pretend that you're not the love of my life. That I'm not the happiest when I wake up on Sunday morning and can feel that you're cuddling to my side and all I can think of is that you're the most beautiful creature on this freakin' world. I mean, you and Charlotte, of course, you are both the most beautiful girls in this world... We don't know how much time we have left on this planet so why are we ignoring our destiny? Look, we started a family together not even being a couple. That has to mean something. I love you and not only as a friend, although I'm still your friend and that's why we're gonna be perfect together. I love Cherry as my own child and I love you and please agree with me cause I want to kiss you so, so bad right now..." she trailed off, observing Chloe's face which now was filled with adoration and love.

"Then shut up and kiss me, Mitchell." Chloe said with a smirk and closed the distance between them, kissing the shorter woman. Beca didn't hesitate and kissed her back with so much fierce, caused by all those emotions that she only now acknowledged but were building in her for years. Finally, they broke the kiss but stayed close to each other, their foreheads pressed against each other, breathing fast.

"I love you too, Beca..." Chloe whispered, looking straight into the brunette's eyes.

"I love you more, Chlo." Beca smiled, stroking gently the redhead's cheek. After a minute of silence, she spoke again "You know what, Chlo...we should totally get married...or we can talk about it later..." she quickly added, seeing the shock in Chloe's eyes.

She turned her head and jumped seeing that Aubrey and Stacie were standing behind them. Stacie was wearing the widest of grins and Aubrey was smirking at them, trying to hide her glistening eyes, as she spoke

"Had I known it will help I would listen to my heart, bought a gun and shot you a long time ago, Mitchell."

It was only a smile but my heart it went wild

and I wasn't expecting that

just a delicate kiss, anyone could've missed

I wasn't expecting that

Did I misread the sign? Your hand slipped into mine

I wasn't expecting that

You spent the night in my bed, you woke up and you said

"Well, I wasn't expecting that"

I thought love wasn't meant to last,

I thought you were just passing through

If I ever get the nerve to ask

What did I get right to deserve somebody like you?
