Here is some more for you. Feel free to review. Enjoy.

CHAPTER 2:

A few days into her internship, and Beca is already feeling the weight of the real world. Turns out her boss wasn't overly impressed with more mash ups. Beca always thought she had an original voice, but she was painfully reminded that plenty of other people have the same skill sets, but it doesn't make you special. Beca was starting to fear that her father was right. As if Shelia didn't make her feel bad enough at dinner, now she had to face the fact that her future would depend on her really stepping up her A-game. Also this whole pregnancy is really bugging her. Beca didn't know what to think about it or what to say to her father. Soon Sarah came back from her last class, and came up to check in on Beca.

"Hey, how is work going?" Sarah asked.

"Oh, it's going." Beca replied dismaly.

"Something wrong?" Sarah asked sitting next to Beca.

"It's nothing, it's fine. Forget it." Beca told her.

She tried to brush it off like everything was fine, but there was no hiding from her best friend. Sarah knew something was bugging her.

"Beca come on, you know you can tell me anything. I know something is up with you. Talk to me."

"Oh it's no big deal..." Beca sighs. "Turns out I'm not good enough to be a music producer, which is cool and fun to know as I enter the rest of my life."

"What do you mean? What did he say?" Sarah asked.

"Basically that I need an original voice. Apparently any kid with ears and a laptop can create mash ups" Beca explains. "I don't know, I guess he's not wrong. I do need to expand on what I can do; right? If I could find something to be a inspired by, that would be great."

Sarah wrapped an arm around Beca.

"Beca you can do this, and do you know why? Because you're awesome."

Beca smiles.

"I've never seen anybody work harder at this than you, and it's what your passionate about. You'll find something to say; I know you will."

"Thanks." Beca said leaning into her.

"So my dad and Sheila are having a baby." Beca said while Sarah sat up.

"Wow. How are you feeling about this?"

"I don't know. I mean I'm not angry about it by any means, but my dad isn't exaclty young anymore. I don't know if they planned this. Man, if I could figure out what my dad was really feeling maybe I'd feel better about this whole thing." Beca sighed.

"You should try to find time to talk to him alone. Gives you a chance to see what he says without anyone else around."

"Yeah maybe." Beca nodded.

This whole family thing has been a mess for Beca. So far her relationship with her mother has been great, but she and her dad had to tread lightly. Not that she didn't get along with him, but since he's been with Sheila, things have been mostly about their relationship, and this new life they were trying to create. At this point, Beca didn't want to think about it anymore, and wanted to change the subject.

"Well tell me about your dinner. How did that go?"Beca asked.

"My dad is seeing someone."

"Really? Who is she?"

"Her name is Sandi. She and my dad have had lunch a few times. She's an interior designer with two boys, and a really good cook. She made us dinner when she was over. My dad seems to really like her." Sarah explained.

"And...do you like her?"

"Well...yeah, sure." Sarah answered.

"You don't sound so sure."

Sarah shrugged.

"Ya know, she was really nice, and we laughed alot, and it was really nice to see my dad smile again. I...I don't know if I'm ready to like her just yet. Does that sound bad?"

"No." Beca assured her.

Family was certainly enough to make you crazy whether things are going good or bad. Both girls for sure have had their share of crazy family drama to deal with these past couple of years. On top of everything else, there was plenty of drama to come reguarding the future of the Barden Bellas.

After the disasterous performance at the Convention Center, the Bellas were back on the bus not feeling very confident about their future in acapella. They tried and failed to be a bigger and better version of DSM, but cleary this plan wasn't going to work for them. Cynthia-Rose had an ice pack on her head from trying to turn the Bellas into a circus act. Meanwhile Beca notices Sarah just sitting and staring out the window.

"Hey, what's up?" Beca asked concerned.

"This whole thing isn't looking good for us, Becs. I mean is this it, just more of us humiliating ourselves?"

"I hope not. " Beca sighs "Listen, we'll find a way somehow. We just have to regroup."

"Easier said than done. I don't see what else we could do now." Sarah said.

"Well, I do...desperate times call for desperate measures. And in these desperate times there's only one thing to do." Chloe said.

"Fake your own death and flee the country?" Flo asked.

The others just looked puzzled.

"Close, we're going on a retreat." Chloe said.

As things get tougher for the Bellas, Emily has a visit with her mother to catch up, and hopefully for some words of enouragement. Katherine reassures her that the fighting will happen, but the friendships she forms with with the other Bellas will be there for her for life. Emily was certainly excited for Copenhagen, and she was looking forward to showing the world what they could do. Katherine loved seeing Emily in the world she onced enjoyed, and she knows her best memories from college came from this wonderful acapella group. Soon Emily sees Sarah come in to hand Emily a packet from Beca with information of their trip to Copenhagen, and a copy of their arraingments. Emily introdices the two.

"Mom this is Sarah, Sarah this is my mom." Said Emily.

"Hello Ms. Junk, it's nice to meet you." Sarah replied, shaking her hand.

"Sarah..." Katherine pondered. "You're Mary's daughter, right?"

"You know my mom?"

"I do. We went to highshcool together in Brooklyn." Katherine told her.

"Yes." Sarah nodded as she thought for a moment. "My mom did mention a 'Kate' she went to school with."

"I remember how talented your mother was when we were in school together. I've never seen anyone who loved music as much as she did." Katherine recalled.

Sarah too remembered her mother's passion for music that she's passed on to her. It was the best thing they shared together, and Sarah always loved hearing about her mom's best memories associated with music.

"I heard she's since passed away. I'm very sorry." Katherine told her.

"Thank you." Sarah nodded.

It was nice for Sarah to hear her mother's old highschool friend speak so fondly of her. It's what she wanted to remember about her mom. The music she loved so much, and made her happy.

Two days later, the Bellas arrived at the retreat. Most of the Bellas didn't know what they were going to do here, until low and behold they were met with none other than their former leader, Aubrey Posen. The girls were excited to see her, rushing up to hug her. Aubrey explained that she ran the Lodge Of Fallen Leaves, and that they were here to regain their harmony like she'd help many groups before them. In true Aubrey Posen fashion, she was stern in lining them up to get them back in proper Bella form. That night in a cramped up tent together, many were having trouble getting to sleep in such close quarters. Beca is up talking to Chloe.

"Hey, how are you doing?" Chloe asked Beca.

"Pretty sure I'm breathing in air that is ninety percent fart."

Chloe giggles brushing back Beca's hair.

"You look like you have alot on your mind. Are you as worried about the Worlds as I am?" Chloe asked.

"Among other things." Beca told her.

"Do you want to talk about it?"

"Not here." Beca whispered. "Lets take a walk.

Beca and Chloe took a walk along the lake so that they could have a moment to themselves. Beca thought about telling Chloe about the internship, she really did want to. Yet she was still afraid that maybe Chloe would think that Beca's heart wasn't in it anymore with the Bellas. She did love this group so much, and these girls mean alot to her, but she also wanted to do well when it was time to leave this place, and move on. Beca was also doubtful of her future as a record producer after the disscusion with her boss. She hoped she could show him that there was something she had to say, but Beca didn't know how she would find her voice. It wasn't something Beca knew how to tell her right now, so she opted to talk about her family, and the latest news.

"You seem stressed out lately. Is something bothering you?" Chloe asked.

"I had dinner with my dad a few nights ago. He told me that Sheila is having a baby."

"Oh." Chloe replied. "I take it you're not too thrilled with this news."

"Well I'm not exaclty mad about it. If this is what they want, I'm happy for them. I just have alot of questions for my dad about the whole thing, and I don't know how to talk to him. I don't want him to take it as a personal attack. Shelia and I haven't always gotten along, but that has nothing to do with the baby. "

"I think you'll feel better if you talk to him alone, and get the answers you want." Chloe told Beca taking her hand.

"Yeah, Sarah said the same thing."

"Well she's right."

They both laugh.

"Thank you for listening, Chloe. It really means alot." Beca said queezing her hand.

"Of course."

Chloe wraps her arms around Beca kissing her cheek. It felt good to open up to Chloe, and Beca doesn't know why she didn't do it sooner. She hoped it would go this well when she told Chloe about the internship.

The next morning at sunrise, Aubrey blew a whistle to get the Bellas to wake up.

"UP AND AT 'EM, BELLAS! LET'S GO, LET'S WAKE UP, COME ON!" Aubrey yelled. "Today, we're going back to the basics to learn to sing as a group." Aubrey explained. "While also enduring some death defying, team building, trust exercises." She continued.

"What a great idea." Chloe said as Aubrey blew the pitch pipe to begin.

So it was a whole day of Army training camp, not much that had to do with singing, and the sing they did do was straight out of the early 40s. Not songs that Beca would necessarily want in their set. Everyone was tired, growing increasingly frustrated, especially Beca who was thinking about more important things on her mind.

"You don't think we've all realized you've been a little checked out lately? "Chloe yelled to Beca.

"Come on, Beca. Just tell her." Sarah said.

"I heard that. Tell me what?" Chloe asked.

This was it. There was no turning back now. It was time for Beca to be truthful with everyone.

"Okay. I've been interning at a recording studio, and a legit music producer wants to hear my work. God forbid I have something going on outside this group."

"Okay, so why would you keep something like that from us?" Chloe asked while caught off guard.

"Cause you're obsessed! You all are!" Beca yelled. " We're graduating, and the only one thinking about life after the Bellas is me!"

"What's so wrong with being focused on the Bellas? This has been my family for seven years."

"Yeah cause you're too scared to leave! Sack up, Dude!"

It was blunt, but it needed to be said, and Chloe couldn't deny that Beca was right. She was scared about what was going to happen next. Beca did feel relief having her secret out in the open, but she felt bad having been so blunt. She thought it best to take Chloe aside, and discuss this further.

"Look, I'm sorry. I didn't mean it like that." Beca told her.

"No, you're right. I am scared." Chloe said almost in tears.

"Come on. Lets go somewhere and talk." Beca said taking Chloe's hand.

They went out past the treeline so they could have a long over due talk about all that's been bothering them these past few months.

"Chloe babe, I'm sorry I didn't tell you about this sooner. I just didn't want you to think the Bellas weren't important to me. I know what this means to you, and I don't want to mess this up."

Chloe hugged her tight. She felt better that her girlfriend finally confided in her, and that they were able to have this talk.

"I know you don't. I guess I can understand why it was so hard for you to tell me. I'm sorry got so obsessed with this that I let it be my whole world. The internship sounds really great, Beca. I'm really proud of you." Chloe told her.

"Thank you. I just hope that I don't screw this whole thing up, and show them that I can do more. I only have one shot at this."

"You'll do great, Beca. You're amazing."

"I'm glad you think so." Beca told her bringing Chloe in closer.

"So what about you? What has you so scared to leave this behind?" Beca asked her.

"Well you know my family growing up. We were never really close, just people who happened to live together. My parents both worked alot, and my brother always got in trouble, and they had to contend with him." Chloe explained. "With the Bellas, I finally felt like I had a close family. I love these girls, and I love you so much. I'll really miss this when we graduate."

Beca wrapped her arms around Chloe wanting her to know how much she is loved.

"You'll never lose this, Chloe. We're all here to stay even after this is all over. I know I will be. You mean to much to me, and I'm never letting you go."

The two share a kiss feeling alot better about the road ahead of them. They joined the other Bellas by the campfire while they shared their plans for the future. All the girls were going to miss this, but agreed to make the best effort possible to stay in each other's lives. With that the Bellas felt more connected in this moment, and were ready to head to Copenhagen as a true team.
