Title: See Her On The Weekends
Rating: M
Summary: A one night stand has been bothering musician Beca Mitchell for years. She never expects to see her again, until Twitter exchanges and a VIP ticket changes her entire world. G!P Beca. (terrible summary… sorry!)
A/N: MFEO Pt II is out! (Just in case you were unaware, MFEO stands for Made For Each Other; a series of two songs made by Andrew McMahon's band Jack's Mannequin. The title of this story is named after one of his songs as well, and will most likely follow a bit of the story lines he throws into his music because he's amazing). ANYWAYS: I hope you enjoy the second installation of the MFEO chapters. I enjoyed writing it. I also will have Chapter 5 out sometime soon (see last bit for details). I know I've said it before, but I seriously love your reviews. They give me such insight on where all of you want this story to go.
I have also ultimately decided to make a tumblr specifically for this, suggested by omACAgee, so be sure to follow it for updates. (surroundedbythesun-ff).
April 19, 2015
Chloe watched in adoration as Beca was trying her best to teach Beckett how to properly kick a soccer ball. So far, Beca was doing a great job of being a parent and Chloe could definitely see that. She sees Beca kick the soccer ball into the goal and Beckett jumps up and down, cheering. Chloe laughs as Beca awkwardly kneels down to give Beckett a high five. Beca hands the ball to Beckett and he kicks it, missing the goal. Chloe can hear Beca tell him that it's okay and they'll keep trying, and Chloe can't help but smile widely.
"That's so cute." Chloe hears from beside her. She looks over to see Stacie, taking a sip of lemonade as they continue watching.
"She's doing wonderfully." Chloe smiles, keeping her eyes on the sight in front of her. "I didn't know what I was expecting when I told her, but I'm glad they're getting along. Beckett seems to really like Beca."
"Not going to lie, I thought Beca would be a lot worse at parenting." Stacie chuckles.
Beca and Beckett had been playing together for the past couple of hours. Beca had wowed the children when she sang Happy Birthday for Beckett, which led to an impromptu acapella session with Aubrey and Chloe joining in on various songs. After the other kids had left, Beca let Beckett open his present which was a soccer ball and a goal. He immediately pulled her out into the yard to set it up and they've been at it ever since.
Chloe watches as Beckett kicks the soccer ball into the goal and starts jumping up and down excitedly.
"MOMMY! I did it!" He screeches happily, causing Chloe to smile widely and congratulate him. Beca picks him up and the two head over towards Stacie and Chloe. "Mommy, can I play with Beca more?"
"Ask Beca. She has a say in this, too." Chloe chuckles.
Beckett looks at Beca who is currently grabbing a cup of lemonade from the table while balancing the toddler in her arms. "Beca, can I play with you more?"
"Of course, champ. But only if you drink this because we've been playing hard and need to stay hydrated." Beca lifts the cup of lemonade up to Beckett's mouth and tilts it a little so he can drink. Beckett gulps it down, making an 'ahh' sound as he finishes, causing Beca and Chloe to both laugh. Beca sets him down and tells him to go practice more. The two watch as Beckett runs back into the yard, arms in the air.
"Who knew playing with Beckett could be so physically demanding?" Beca breathes out, wiping her brow of sweat.
Chloe smiles and hands her a napkin, "What did you expect, Beca? He's three."
Beca laughs and she continues wiping her face, letting her breathing even out. Stacie looks between the two and excuses herself.
"So what do you think?" Chloe asks, playing with the hem of her shirt.
"He's so great. And you were right about him being smart. I've never seen a toddler talk in full blown sentences before. But I really enjoy this and him, so I'll do it. I'll take the paternity test and I'll claim parental responsibility." Beca says confidently.
"That's great!" Chloe exclaims happily. "Do you want to talk about visitation and what not now? We can figure it out later if you want."
"Now would be fine." Beca smiles.
"Great! Uhm, hold on." Chloe looks out in the yard to see Beckett running around with the soccer ball. "Beckett, mommy and Beca are going to talk. Can you go play with Aunt Aubrey until we're done?"
Beckett nods and kicks the soccer ball towards Aubrey who's awkwardly trying to keep her balance. "Come on, Auntie Bree. You play with me now."
Chloe and Beca are sitting down at the kitchen table, going over a calendar. Since Chloe had agreed to re-register Beckett's birth certificate with Beca on there, they had to come up with a plan for visitation to present to the courts.
"So, if you're free anytime this week, we can do the legal part of this, and then we can start scheduling visitation whenever you're not working." Chloe states as she looks over the calendar.
"I'm pretty much free anytime I'm not playing a show. I made a home studio so all of my work is done from there, now. We can go tomorrow take this to the court, if you want." Beca suggests.
"Yeah, we can do that. Also, I wanted to run this by you... But since we have to go through the legal process of adding you to his birth certificate, I was wondering if you wanted him to share you surname." Beca's eyes widen at the suggestion. "I'm not opposed to it at all, I actually wholeheartedly believe he should share something with you besides genes. Besides, now that I think of it, Beckett Beale kinda sounds funny."
"I..." Beca starts, her eyes slightly tearing up. "That is so important to him and you, though. Are you sure?"
"Beca, I have no doubt that you'll be there for him his entire life. It's the least I could do since I've had sole custody of him for this long. I want him to be a part of you, too. And what better way than making him a Mitchell? It's a relatively easy change since we're already changing his birth certificate." Chloe admits. She knows that Beckett having her own last name wouldn't change a thing, but after watching Beca interact with him, she knows that it'd be an important step for Beckett to really identify with Beca.
"I don't know what to say. That's a big decision." Beca replies, folding her hands over each other.
"I just want him to be as much yours as he is mine. You don't have to, but I think it'd be good for him." Chloe watches as Beca thinks to herself. Chloe can't help but admire the way that Beca thinks, her brow furrowed, and her lips moving as she talks to herself.
Before Beca could answer, Chloe hears the sound of Beckett crying and she instantly shoots up from the chair. She watches Aubrey come running up with Beckett and she gives Aubrey a concerned look, Stacie following behind her.
"He tripped and scraped his knee in the rocks. I'm going to grab a band aid." Aubrey says as she sets Beckett on the kitchen counter.
Beca stands up and walks over to Beckett, rubbing his back as Chloe examines the wound. It's just a small scratch and a band aid should fix it right up, but right now Beckett is crying up a storm.
"Hey, buddy. It's okay." Beca coos, placing a small kiss on her son's head. "You're a strong warrior, aren't you?"
"Y-yes." Beckett says through cries.
"What do you want me to do?" Beca asks as Aubrey returns with a band aid and Chloe places it over his scraped knee.
"Sing me song." Beckett sniffles and Beca nods, smiling.
In my dreams I'll always see you soar above the sky.
In my heart there'll always be a place for you, for all my life.
I'll keep a part of you with me.
And everywhere I am, there you'll be.
Beca's soft voice fills the kitchen and she can hear Beckett's cries turn to sniffles before completing dissipating. Chloe's eyes are filled with tears and she looks over at Stacie and Aubrey who are staring at Beca with heartfelt looks on their face. Chloe had never seen her son calm down at such a gesture, but Beca got him to immediately stop crying.
"Hey Beckett," Beca says softly as she continues rubbing his back. "Can I tell you a secret?"
"Mhmm," Beckett nods as he wipes his eyes.
"I need you to be strong for me, okay? I need you to be a strong little man." Beca stops rubbing his back and moves to stand in front of her son. "I'll always be here for you, you got that? Whenever you fall and get hurt, whenever you start school, or play your first sports game if you're into that… Whenever you need me, I'll always be right here." Beca points to Beckett's heart. "Your mom and I have been talking and we thought it'd be best to tell you. Remember how your mommy said you had another parent?"
"Yes." Beckett says as he stares at Beca.
"Well, I'm your other mommy."
"You're my mommy, too?" Beckett questions and Beca smiles and nods, tears filling her eyes. Beca watches as he points to Chloe. "Are you and mommy together?"
"No, kiddo, we're not." Beca wipes the tears from her eyes, sighing softly, but not loud enough for anyone else to hear. "But your mom and I have decided to share you. What do you think about that?"
"Yes." Beckett confirms causing Beca to laugh at the response.
Aubrey and Stacie are crying, as well as Chloe as they watch Beckett wrap his arms around Beca's neck in a tight hug. Stacie looks at Chloe and smiles, and Chloe's heart is melting at the interaction between Beca and their son.
Beckett finally lets go of Beca and Beca looks back at Chloe, who is nodding in approval.
"Stacie and I have to go for now, but we'll see you soon, okay?"
"I want you to stay." Beckett whines.
"I'll be back tomorrow." Beca smiles, placing a kiss on Beckett's head.
"Okay." Beckett says, defeated and Beca can feel her heart break at the thought of Beckett being upset over her leaving.
"Auntie's going to get you ready for bed, say goodbye to Beca and Stacie."
"Bye Stay-seeeee" Beckett enunciates causing everyone to laugh.
"See you later, Beckett!" Stacie says happily, putting her hand up for him to high five.
"Bye momma," He says softly, only loud enough for Stacie and Beca to hear.
"Bye little man." Beca smiles as Aubrey picks him up and takes him upstairs. Stacie grabs the car keys and excuses herself from the kitchen, leaving Beca and Chloe to talk.
"I'll see you, tomorrow." Chloe states, emotions running rampant through her.
"Yeah, we'll have to figure visitation out later." Beca replies, rubbing the back of her neck.
"I really appreciate you doing all of this for him, Beca."
"Of course, Chlo." Beca says her nickname again and Chloe can't stop the beating in her chest. "I'd do anything for you and him."
"It means a lot to me." Chloe moves forward and places a small kiss on Beca's cheek, feeling her body burn as she feels Beca's cheek grow warm.
"I'm glad. I'll, uh, be in touch about tomorrow. Bye." Beca smiles before making her way out.
Chloe watches as Beca heads toward her car and places her fingers over her now tingling lips. She didn't know what had come over her, but she knew she was going to be in trouble.
"I'm happy to see that this is going well." Aubrey speaks, causing Chloe to jump slightly and wonder how long she'd been standing there.
"You saw that, didn't you?"
"I did. I can also see you're trying your hardest not to fall for Beca. But you're failing miserably." Aubrey states, crossing her arms.
"I just... I don't know."
"You're scared of the distance, of her being so far away." Aubrey states nonchalantly, rolling her eyes at her best friend.
"Yeah..."
"Well, I'm no fortune teller, but I have a feeling that you'll be seeing Beca a lot. She seems really committed to being here for Beckett." Aubrey lends her opinion.
"But what if she decides to stay in LA and only comes up a few times a month to see him? Beckett will totally be okay with that, but..."
"You don't know if you can handle her constantly having to go back to her life in LA, even though she's totally committed to your son." Aubrey finishes Chloe's sentence. Chloe nods and Aubrey sighs. "Chloe, look. Beca's going to be there for you two no matter what happens. She's famous, she has a life, I get that. But she seems totally, 100% committed to being there for Beckett whenever possible. Give it a chance."
"I guess." Chloe groans, her thoughts getting the best of her.
Aubrey mutters something about going to clean up outside leaving Chloe by herself. She walks upstairs and checks on Beckett who appears sound asleep in his bed. She smiles as she watches him turn around grab his stuffed animal. Chloe sits down next to his bed and sighs. She doesn't know what she was going to do or how she should feel about Beca. She was starting to feel herself grow more and more attracted to the brunette, especially after watching her with Beckett.
"What am I going to do, buddy?" Chloe whispers to her sleeping son. She runs her fingers through her hair gently, trying not to wake him up when she hears him whisper something.
"I don't ever want momma to go." Beckett says sleepily before turning over and falling asleep again.
Chloe's eyes water up when the words escape her son's mouth. He had literally just been told that Beca was his other mom, and he already started calling her 'momma'. Chloe leans down and kisses Beckett's head. "Me either, Beckett... Me either."
Chloe exits Beckett's room to go help Aubrey clean up when she feels her phone vibrate in her pocket. She pulls it out and sees that Beca had tagged her in a photo. She raises her eyebrow as she unlocks her phone and opens up Instagram.
On her screen is a photo of Beckett smiling his cheesy smile and Beca with her arm wrapped around him, kissing his cheek. Chloe smiles as she admires the image before looking at the caption.
becseffect: Happy Birthday to this wonderful little man! I'm so glad I got to meet you and play soccer with you. You're going to be pro, one day. I can't wait to watch you grow up. #becsandbecks
AWW, SO SWEET. Well, we already knew that Beckett was going to steal Beca's heart. But what will happen between Chloe and Beca?
