Wrapped in blankets, the Bellas all sat around a table in a bunker house. Chicago was talking softly, explaining that Amy's dad had been arrested. Chloe was sitting close to Beca, but it didn't stop the soldier from ignoring her slightly and talking only to the beautiful redhead. He stood up with a smile of reassurance to Chloe, who kindly smiled back. Beca saw Aubrey staring and raised her eyebrows in question. As soon as Chicago left Aubrey leaned forward. "Okay, what's going on?" Chloe looked at Aubrey in shock for the outburst. "What do you mean, Posen?" Beca said coolly, holding her gaze. "Oh, you KNOW what I mean." Aubrey stared hard, the rest of the Bellas watching intently. Chloe looked at Beca who nodded. "Fine. Truth is, Beca and I are dating." Aubrey's eyes widened, and Amy let out a sigh. "Finally! Bhloe is real!" The Bellas all turned to Amy, including Beca and Chloe. Amy shrugged. "What?! You pitches didn't have to live with them these past 3 years. Half the time I expected to walk in to them having sex." Beca and Chloe looked horrified. "What?! The sexual tension rolling off you two is insane." Amy decided to shut her mouth at that point, finding herself digging a deeper hole in the conversation. Chloe shook her head. "Anyway… we wanted to see how long we could go without you guys figuring it out." The Bellas were still slightly in shock. Emily had a big grin on her face. Cynthia was smirking knowingly. Aubrey stared at her hands. "Aubrey?" Chloe asked gently in concern. Her head snapped up and a grin spread across her face. "Back in freshman year, when I figured out your toner for Beca, I didn't want to believe it. There was no denying how close you were though. When you two never got together I thought I might be wrong. I'm so happy for you guys." Chloe beamed and took Beca's hand in hers. There was a moment of silence as the group sat there happily. Emily looked around. "I have no idea what happened tonight but if Khalid doesn't pick us after all that, what are we doing with our lives?" Beca looked down at her hand clasped in Chloe's "Uh, I think Beca has something she'd like to share with the group." Chloe looked at her. "Um, thanks Amy. Uh, yeah. I was gonna say something earlier, but we were involved in a hostage crisis so I just…" "They picked her!" Amy broke in. "DJ Khalid and his team." All the girls looked at Amy. "They didn't pick the Bellas, they picked Beca. So, yeah. So, they only picked her."
"Yeah, but I said no because I feel exactly how you feel. You guys are family and you don't walk away from family." Chloe was looking intensely at Beca who avoided looking at her. "Don't you want to make music?" Flo's small, hopeful voice spoke softly over the silence. "No. I guess but…" "Beca you can't say no! You gotta do it!" Amy cut her off once again. "Look, your real family doesn't hold you back, they lift you up." She lifted her arm to demonstrate but it didn't go far due to how sore it was, the other hand holding a bag of ice to it. "Kinda feel like I've been saying something to that effect the entire time." "Oh my god Emily! Smart people are talking right now!" Amy was so annoyed at the innocence of the youngest Bella. "Aubrey, don't." Beca said guiltily as the blonde started to cry. "Please! It's… I won't do it it's not important!" the blonde looked up. "No no, it's not that! You know I have to be honest with you guys, every time I preform in front of people I feel like I'm gonna puke, and I don't have to anymore. I'm so happy!" She started to laugh through her tears and all the girls brightened up, Chloe and Beca grinning wide. "No more puking! No more puke!" The girls broke into cheers. Beca looked at Chloe for a moment before turning her attention back to Aubrey who was kinda freaking the girls out at that point about being a birthing coach. She shook her head and tried to get the image out of her mind as the other Bellas revealed their plans. There was so much joy going around the group. Laughter and cheers rang out. They were all suddenly silent when an unknown voice spoke up. "Cool beans!" Beca's eyes widened. "You talk?!" All the girls stared at Lily as she began to laugh. "Satan has finally left my body!" Beca was in complete shock. Her gaze flicked back and forth around the room as she tried to grasp what just happened. Chloe stood up and cleared her throat, snapping Beca's gaze towards her.
"I think it's time to go on with the next chapter in our lives." She looked at Beca. "It's time for us to move on. You know?" the Bellas all nodded. "We were always gonna be there for each other. Because we're family." Beca was looking at Chloe lovingly and nodding her head. "And I mean, I for one, am very ready. I got the call that I got into vet school!" "You got in!" Beca shouted excitedly. "Yes! I got in! I know! I'm a vet!" All the girls cheered once more and congratulated her. Beca smiled and looked at Amy. "What about you Ames? You sure you're cool with this?" "Are you kidding me? I just found out I have $180 000 000 to put into fat Amy Winehouse." Chloe looked at her confused. "What?!" Beca tilted her head as if she misheard the girl. "Yeah! Wait, I could do more shows. Fat Amy Adams. Fat Amy Grant. Ooh that would be good for Christmas." Beca nodded. "It'd be great." Amy nodded. "Beca…" "Don't!" Beca saw the look on Amy's face. "I swear to god… Don't make that face!" Amy made a weird face like she was trying to contain her feelings. "If you cry I'm gonna cry!" Chloe looked at Beca then at Amy, a sad smile on her face as she also held back tears. "I'm not doing this with you today so…" "I'm not doing it!" she had her teeth bared as she held it back with a grimace. "I hate that face!" "I'm not." "Don't make that face!" Beca said sternly. "This is my regular face!" Beca clenched her jaw. "You know how much I love you. You just go out there, and you crush it! Okay?" Chloe nodded, tears springing to her eyes. "You crush it so hard that your nips tingle a bit." Classic Amy. The girls all nodded. "She loves hugs!" Chloe spoke up through her emotions. "Don't!" "We should give her one!" "That's not funny!" before she could protest anymore, Chloe's arms wrapped around her tightly and she was soon engulfed by the girls.
Chloe pressed a kiss to Beca's cheek as tears streamed down her face. The rest of the Bellas stepped back and started talking excitedly about the performance. Beca stood in front of Chloe and wiped the tears that soaked her cheeks. Chloe smiled warmly. "You show the world the amazingly talented Beca Mitchell I know at tonight's performance, alright?" Chloe whispered, her voice slightly hoarse. Beca nodded and gently kissed her before resting their foreheads together. Their moment was ruined as Amy wrapped her arms around the couple. "It's about time you two got together. Do you know how painful it was to watch you two act like a couple but never admit to it for 7 years? Like god! All the flirting and sexual tension was getting on my nerves!" Chloe laughed and Beca shook her head. "When did you two make this happen anyway? There was no way it was back in New York" Beca shook her head. "It started the night we went to the casino." Amy nodded as she started piecing things together. Soon Chicago showed up once more to take the girls back to the hotel to rest before the big show. "I can't believe you told them that I love hugs. That's our secret." Beca hissed in mock annoyance as they walked. Chloe rolled her eyes with a laugh. "Did I ruin your badass reputation? Because we lived with those girls for 3 years. Pretty sure they know you're not as tough as you act." Beca smiled. "Well I did help Amy save you guys from a hostage crisis. I'd call that pretty badass." Chloe laughed, and they hopped into the van. Later, Chloe and Beca both lay in Beca's bed, Beca wrapped around the redhead and holding her close to her body. They fell asleep quickly in each others' arms, happy and safe.
