Chapter 1

Giving her body a well, deserved stretch getting all the knots out and smiling when she heard the sound of the loud cracks, now that felt good.

She turned herself over and saw two big ocean blue eyes staring back at her, at first giving the 'really?' look as she heard her cracking her back, then seeing that smile that broke her wall down when they first met. The smile like the Cheshire cat from Alice in Wonderland and like with the Cheshire cat it was always the last thing that disappers when she shuts her eyes.

Beca couldn't believe her luck that after a long, hard and at one point on the verge of losing her. She was her with her now, sharing the same bed.

Everyone had giving them, their blessings including her father who had surprised her the most with his.

She remembered the nerves that plagued her whole body, she had discovered how much he tried to be part of her life once her parents divorce was finalised not giving him the chance, let alone the time of day to listen to him, to let him explain that both of her parents had simply fallen out of love. After all, they had been high school sweet hearts who then got married and throughout the years found out that the love was more of best friends then that of husband and wife.

Sometimes it was just that simple. But, as stubborn as she was she didn't want to hear it. So the first brick of the wall was slowly being laid.

A few years went by… A free college education which should had made anyone happy yet she preferred to toss it back to his face and go to LA. God she was so blinded by the hate and anger towards her father that in reality, it shouldn't have really existed.

But in the end she hugged out her apologies and told him that she had already wasted so many years resenting him and picturing him to be the bad guy and Shelia the evil monster but again that was not the case.

During her time in Burden it was because of him that she met the weirdest and craziest (Lily mostly.) of girls and she didn't look back.

It also because of him that she found Chloe, the shower experience will always be one hell of a story to tell, especially to their kid or even kids when the time is right.

And, there she was standing outside his door, staring at it and trying to find the courage to knock and tell him the news that could make them go back to being estranged. This time maybe forever.

She remembered turning to Chloe and telling about her fears about losing him when they finally made up and he kept his word about helping her in LA which she declined as her plans changed and just by looking at those big ocean blue eyes, she had not regrets and those eyes along with Chloe's gentle touch gave her all the strength she ever needed to go through with this.

Holding her breathe, raising her fist to knock and holding Chloe's hand with the other she was bracing herself for the worst.

As her father opened the door he smiled, happy to see both her and Chloe to realise that they were holding hands.

Once inside, Beca told her father her news, closing her eyes waiting for the outburst and disappointment to be voiced.

But to her surprise she saw him smile and give her a hug, smiling at her shocked face and then facing Chloe knowing that she was the reason why his daughter had changed for the better. Turning back to his only child he asked her the most important question any loving parent wants to ask their child. 'Are you happy?' Seeing Beca nodded and even surprised herself with her reply. 'More then I have ever been. I love her dad. I love her so much that she has got my heart and I have hers.' He turned to face Chloe again to see the love she holds for his daughter he couldn't be any more happier for them both.

Showing the biggest smile that he could master he hugged her again and told her. 'That's all I needed to hear. I give you my blessing, for you are my daughter, my life and I am proud to be your father.'

Nothing more was needed to be said that night.

Back to the present and hearing a soft, gentle voice calling out to her, she shook herself out of the memory and focus on the beautiful creature in front of her, who now had a worried look on her face.

"Are you back? I lost you there for awhile."

"I'm here. I always will be here." Chloe nodded and placed her hand on her cheek as Beca did the same, before their lips making contact with one another, the faintest sunlight shine on both their fourth finger making their wedding bands that much richer and that much shinier.

Breaking the contact and smiling at the childish groan that Chloe gave out, disappointed that the kiss was short.

She again captured Chloe's beauty, with both a heart and soul to match that beauty, realising how lucky she is to have her in her life, to change her life for the better.

As well as all the powers that be, for at last being allowed to have Chloe as her wife.

'Yep, it doesn't get any better than this.' Beca thought to herself before giving Chloe another kiss.

This time a much longer, deeper and passionate kiss.

Aubrey slowly stirred, brining herself out of her deep sleep. Her head pounding, heavy – like two jack hammers inside her head and digging a hole in her brain and not finding the off switch. She turned over slowly to look at the time, cursing to herself that she had slept through her alarm and that she was late for work. Letting out another curse under her breath when she realised how late she was for work, she sighed. Her boss will give her one hell of berating throughout the day and will never hear the end of it. Until she makes yet another screw up.

It doesn't even matter that her boss is her father…

...One General Posen.

General Posen was described as strict, ruled the household with an iron fist, father of three, with Aubrey being the middle child.

Aubrey was at first a daddy's girl remembering how her father was like, before he went on deployments. How they both laughed and smiled and him vowing to protect her and telling her how proud he was when she first got an 'A' in maths and there to comfort her when she received a 'D' in history. Telling her. 'There's more to life then grades as long as you tried your best.'

But, those memories are getting few and far in between. With each return from his deployment came a different man, a man that look like her father but wasn't.

Instead of being greeted by open arms and a smile, he had a fixed frown that was permenant though out the years.

Instead of praising her when she received an A he told that it was nothing to get excited for as he expected nothing less.

Instead of the comfort she was once given for a low grade, he went berserk at her, shouting in her face, that spit was coming out. Telling her that she would not amount to anything. 'To be the best you have to show them you're the best.' After calling 'stupid', 'thick' and asking her if she was a retard before ripping up the paper and throwing the remains on the floor, leaving the room without another word, but it was that look…that look of disappointment that made her vow from now on she will be the best no matter what it takes. She will be the best and then her father will love her again.

General Posen was strict on her eldest brother and younger sister as well but for some reason Aubrey seemed to take all of the blunt of his anger and if her brother ever stepped in, it didn't end well.

But no matter how well she did or that she exceeded in all of her subjects it was never good enough for him and that was when her stomach could not handle the stress anymore which made matters worse for her.

Having left the military due to 'reasons' he along with a friend set up a law firm and gave Aubrey a job as her lodge that she built from scratch was not doing well and she had to sell it before she was knees deep in debt.

When he found out it wasn't pretty he again called her every name under the sun and that she will work with him in criminal law where the money is and pay him back for the loan he gave her so she didn't end up bankrupt and that would have been a great embarrassment to the Posen name.

The worst was yet to come when she decided to not only reveal her true love to him after hiding the secret for far too long, but also that she was changing from defending criminals to prosecuting them as she's taking on the civil cases, knowing there's less money, but it was to save her relationship as they were on the verge of breaking up.

That was the first time he struck her, he struck her so hard that not only did she landed hard on the floor but the bruise was already showing, he again called her all sorts of vile names. If her brother didn't step in when he did god only knows what would have happened.

The sudden ache over her body brought her out of her memories, and back to the harsh reality that something bad happened to her last night, her body felt heavy, bruised even. She took a few moments to collect herself and try to get ready.

Managing to slowly pull herself up to a sitting position, winicing as she did so, she automatically put her right arm around her ribs. She noticed that she was naked which didn't surprised her as she always slept naked.

Looking around the room, she saw no sign of a break in, looking at her wrists, there wasn't a mark let alone a bruise, but that again didn't surprised her as she didn't put much of a fight, couldn't put much of a fight? There was no sign no evidence of what she thought had happened … Maybe it was a nightmare, after all. She almost sighed with relief…

…Almost.

She turned and face where her girlfriend side of the bed and saw it was crumpled… Which it shouldn't be… As her girlfriend was away for the week and wouldn't be back for another two days.

Keeping her right hand on her side, she let her left hand travel down south as her senses finally regain themselves and could feel the pool of water building up and filling her eyes, as she felt the wetness between her legs, the pain down below also seemed to intensify.

She closed her eyes and let the tears dropped, splashing on top of the crisp, pure white virgin sheets, watching as the spilled tears spread widely on the sheets, feeling again her eyes filling up, she brought her left hand back up to inspect it. But, without looking she had already knew what was on there…

…She felt the bile rising

TBC...

A bonus chapter for you guys

Also I'm portraying both Beca and Aubrey's dads from pp1 as I thought Beca dad was a good guy and from the vibe that Aubrey gave and Chloe seemed to have an idea how he was by the 'yeah' comment she made when Amy was shocked with Aubrey's quotation from her father.

RJRMovieFan - Thanks, but let's face it I am a whore for all that's drama and angst, but between you and I (and those that are reading this...) I will try not to make this too dark especially with Beca and Chloe as I think with 'Knocking Down the Wall' (which I haven't forgotten just my laptop has decided to become a headache and die on me) I be shoving them in so much drama that they deserve a breather, in this story... (maybe? :) )
