Sorry for the delay, awesome people! We're both really busy but we'll do our best to keep up with this story. Enjoy! :)
Beca was working on a few mixes on her laptop. She wanted to make something for Chloe when she wakes up. The doctor told her that she might wake up one of these days and so she prepared herself. She felt relieved and worried at the same time.
She was listening to one of the mash-ups she made when her phone rang. She checked the caller ID and it was her boss. She answered the phone and quietly left the room.
"Yes, Mike?"
"Beca, Snoop Dogg wants to produce an album with you."
Beca paused for a moment, "Wha- How-"
"I got a call and he wants to produce a Christmas album. Are you in?"
Beca bit her bottom lip nervously, "Yeah, sure."
"Great. You need to get your ass in here this afternoon if you are in."
"I…" Beca took a deep breath and finally spoke, "I can't, Mike. My wife's life is in danger and I can't just leave her."
She could hear him let out a deep sigh, "Okay. I understand. You should know you just rejected an important client."
"Have Cynthia Rose do it. We pretty much think the same and I think she can pull it off."
"I'll talk to her. Beca, you need to come to work soon. You don't need to stay for long. Just talk to your clients and tell them what's up. They've been looking for you for almost a week now."
Beca sighed, "I'll see what I can do."
"Mitchell, just tell me if you can work at the moment. We have deadlines to meet and they're not waiting for you. I'll give the rest of your work to Luke."
Beca hesitated at first but there's only one thing on her mind right now. Chloe needs her. "Okay, I understand."
"Alright. Listen, I need to go," Then Mike hung up. Beca watched her screen fade to black and pursed her lips. She needed to choose between her career and Chloe. Of course, she would choose Chloe. She would always choose Chloe.
She went back inside and gazed at her beautiful wife. She kissed the top of her head and held her hand.
"I made a few mixes. I hope you'll like them. You'll hear Titanium a lot though," Beca laughed lightly and planted a kiss on her wife's cold hand.
"You look beautiful," Beca mumbled and continued gazing at her wife.
-flashback-
"Chloe! I need to go now. They're looking for me. Do you need anything?" Beca shouted by the end of the staircase and waited for an answer from the redhead. Not getting a response, Beca went upstairs to check on her.
"Babe?" Beca gently pushed open the door to their bedroom and saw Chloe lying inbed with a tissue in hand. She sat beside her and rubbed her sides. "You alright?"
"Yeah," Chloe said with a congested voice, then sneezed.
"Oh no, you're going to catch a fever," Beca placed a hand Chloe's forehead.
"You should go to work I'll be fine," Chloe forced a smile and looked at Beca then sneezed again.
"Let me take care of you. I'll just go to the store and buy your medicine."
"No, you need to go to work. I'll be okay. I'll just ask Aubrey to come over," Chloe sniffled.
"Come on, I'm your wife. It's my job to take care of you," Beca kissed her temple and smiled. "Now you go rest and I'll make you soup when I get home from the store okay?"
Chloe smiled sweetly and cupped her cheek, "Thank you." Beca smiled and kissed her forehead then left tothe store.
As promised when Beca got home, she immediately gave Chloe her medicine and made her way to the kitchen to make soup for her sick wife. When she was done, she placed the bowl and a long stemmed rose on a tray. She smiled to herself before going up to their bedroom.
Just in time, Chloe was sitting up and was checking on her phone.
"I made soup," Beca said proudly as she made her way inside, careful not to spill the soup.
"Did you actually make that?" Chloe quirked her eyebrow in amusement.
"Where do you think I was for the past two hours? I'm sorry it took that long," Beca gave her an apologetic look. She placed the tray on the bed and sat down facing the redhead.
"I was asleep. It's okay." Chloe took the rose on the tray and lightly tapped it on Beca's nose, "This wasn't necessary."
"What? Am I not allowed to give my wife roses when she's sick?"
Chloe rolled her eyes with a smile, "What did I do to deserve someone like you?"
Beca leaned over for a kiss but Chloe stopped her, "You might get sick. Save that forwhen I get better."
"Look, don't worry. It's just one kiss," Beca closed the gap between them and they both smiled into the kiss.
One day later….
Beca sneezed the 9nth time. Chloe entered the room holding a tray with soup. She sat down beside Beca and fed her wife.
"I told you to wait until I got better," Chloe shook her head in amusement.
Beca smiled, "Totally worth it." Then she sneezed again.
Chloe's eyes fluttered open and her eyes adjusted to the light in the room. Her ears were buzzing at first then she slowly started to hear a muffled voice in between all that noise. After what seemed like forever, the voice became clear and clear.
"It's been days…Yeah…look, I'm not going anywhere until she wakes up…" She slightly turned her head and recognized the voice. She saw Beca talking on the phone. She took a deep breath and let out a light groan to call her wife's attention.
Beca stopped talking and quickly turned her head to Chloe who was already awake. She ended the call and made her way to the side of Chloe's bed and held her hand. "Oh my god, Chloe. Chloe sweetie, are you awake? Can you talk to me, Chloe?"
Tears rolled down from her eyes as she looked at Chloe who was simply looking back at her. She was happy to see those bright blue eyes again. Her free hand was caressing Chloe's cheeks sweetly. Her face looked as beautiful as always.
Chloe managed a smile and was happy to see Beca. She wanted to say something but words couldn't come out.
Beca continued caressing Chloe's cheeks, "I'm... I'm so sorry Chloe, please forgive me..." Her lips quivered as she started to cry again. She leaned forward to kiss her forehead and wrapped her arms around her wife. After a few minutes, she could feel Chloe's arm around her.
"It's okay, Becs" Chloe said softly. Beca pulled out of the hug gently and smiled. Chloe noticed the tired look on Beca's face and her eyes were swollen from crying for days. Chloe thought she was still the most beautiful woman in the world anyway. The redhead's hands fell on her sides faintly and Beca sat on the chair again, holding one of them. Their eyes were pierced together. That's when Beca noticed Chloe was on the verge of tears.
"Are you okay? Do you need pain relievers?" The brunette asked worriedly.
"Beca I... I can't feel your touch..." the redhead said, and tears started falling down her cheek. Beca looked at her for a moment and might have stopped breathing. She quickly made her way out and called Chloe's doctor.
The doctor came in with two nurses and Beca stood by to watch them. They were checking on Chloe and the doctor had mumbled something to the male nurse and he nodded. Beca noticed that they were fixing Chloe's bed and they started to roll her out of the room.
"Wait, where are you taking her?" She reached for her wife's hand but couldn't grab it. She started walking fast next to the doctor, demanding an explanation.
"Mrs. Beale had a bleeding inside her head in the accident. Don't worry this is nothing unexpected or dangerous. She is having sensitivity problems because of that bleeding. We are only taking her to the brain scan so we can check how the process of healing is developing. She will be back in her room soon. Please wait here."
Beca looked at her wife and saw how scared she was, "Chloe, everything is going to be okay. I'll be right here," Beca assured her and managed a smile. She stayed in her place and broke down to tears.
Hours felt like an eternity for Beca. She was staring into space when she noticed Chloe was being brought back to her room.
Beca immediately asked the doctor what was wrong and she listened carefully. He explained that everything was healing properly but it might take a few days before Chloe could fully recover from her sensitivity loss. He assured her that Chloe will get better. Beca nodded and thanked the doctor before he left the room. She walked to Chloe's bedside and forced a smile. There was comfortable silence. Beca took a chair and sat down.
"Emily?" Chloe asked in a soft voice.
"Aubrey and Craig are taking care of her," Beca saw Chloe's eyes were filled with tears too. Happy tears. Beca intertwined their fingers and squeezed her hand gently. "I just visited her yesterday, she's fine. She misses you though" Beca showed her most loving smile ever. In fact Chloe had already seen that smile in a few other occasions: Their wedding day and 15 months earlier, when she held their daughter in her arms for the first time.
Beca leaned in and kissed Chloe's lips softly. "I love you" She whispered. She let their foreheads touch.
"I love you too" Chloe smiled and Beca watched her fall asleep. It didn't take long before Beca drifted to sleep holding Chloe's hand.
