"Bree, this girl was like my mini me" 39 year old Chloe Beale told her best friend.
"It's that I know for sure that I never gave birth otherwise I would say this girl was my long lost daughter" the redhead exclaimed.
"Chloe calm down" Aubrey Posen said to her bubbly best friend.
"Sit down and tell me exactly what happened today" the blonde said.
"I was at work today" Chloe began.
"I stood with my back to the counter as I was searching for some receipts. I heard customers so I said 'a moment please'."
"What can I help you with?" I asked when I turned around.
"I saw three girls who were about 16 years old. But when I looked at the girl who stood before me I was shocked. She looked exactly like me. And by exactly like me, I mean it was like I looked at my 16 year old self. It was unbelievable. I just froze. But that was not all. The two other girls who were with her were like younger versions of you and Stacie. I just couldn't believe my eyes" the redheaded woman said as she continued her story.
Aubrey looked at her like she was crazy.
"I'm not crazy Bree. But let me tell you what happened next. After an awkward silence I helped them. And I learned they were triplets. I never caught their names unfortunately. But I asked them if it would be okay to take a picture of them" Chloe said.
She pulled out her phone and showed Bree the picture of the girls she took earlier that day.
"Look at them and tell me again if you think I'm crazy."
Aubrey looked at the picture in disbelieve and shock.
"This is weird she stammered. You are right. These girls look exactly as our younger versions. How is this even possible?" the blonde asked.
"I know" Chloe answered.
"That's why I have to find them again. I want to know who they are" the redhead said.
"How are you going to do that?" Bree asked her.
Chloe answered with only one word.
"Lilly".
"I mean how hard is it to find 16 year old triplets?" she asked herself.
They sat in silence when they heard the front door opening. Stacie, Aubrey's girlfriend came in. She walked over to the women. She leaned over and kissed her girlfriend.
"Hey baby I'm home. Hey Chloe, she greeted the other woman. What brings you here?" she asked.
She looked at the women and sensed something was off.
"What's wrong?" she asked her two friends.
"Please sit down Stace" Aubrey spoke eventually.
"We need to show you something."
Chloe pulled out her phone again and showed Stacie the picture. She looked confused at the picture. She knew it was not them cause they didn't know each other when they were 16.
"What is this?" she asked curious.
Aubrey explained her girlfriend what happened today. And she explained the plan to ask Lilly to help them find out who they were and were they came from. Stacie agreed with the plan. If there was someone who was capable of finding information it was Lilly.
When Chloe was at her home that evening she sent Lilly a text. She attached the picture and asked Lilly if she could find out who they were and how she could contact them. In less than an hour she got an answer.
She never could have guessed she would get such an answer and stared at screen of her phone. It was one simple message that turned her world upside down and she couldn't believe what she read.
They are Beca Mitchell's triplets
