CHAPTER 7
-o0o-o0o-o0o-
"I just miss her so much." Beca lets out a sob and curls into her mothers side. She feels the couch dip behind her and then arms wrap around her.
"It's okay Becs. I miss her too." Chloe says from her position behind Beca.
"It still hurts so much and I know that it shouldn't. It's been almost three years but it's still so painful."
"It doesn't matter how long it's been. It still hurts me that she's gone." Chloe says. Beca leans backwards into Chloe and allows her mother up from the couch.
"I'm making dinner now. Are you guys staying?"
"Yeah, we have nothing else to do today so. What is it?" Beca asks.
"Whatever you're making." Kim says with a smirk, trying to lighten Beca's mood.
"What do you want me to make?" Beca asks.
"Homemade pizza and salad?" Kim replies.
"Sure, Mom."
"Want help?" Kim asks.
"Yeah. I'll be there in a minute, just give me a minute to wake the little ones. Nap time is over and they won't sleep tonight if they sleep any longer."
Kim nods and exits the room, moving towards the kitchen.
"You good now?" Chloe asks.
"No, I don't think that I'll ever be, but I can always try."
"Yeah, you can always try."
"Thanks Chlo. It's just...it's just the closer it gets the more it hurts, you know?" Beca says and Chloe nods because, yes, she does know and yes, it does hurt more the closer it gets.
"I know what you mean. And it's totes okay, it doesn't matter how long it's been, because you loved her and you lost her. Don't ever think that you can't grieve for as long as you want, Okay?" Chloe asks and Beca nods.
Beca makes her way to the twins shared room and opens the door. Once in side she grabs the stool from beside the bookshelf and drags it in between their beds. She kisses their foreheads, grabs one of each of their hands and wakes them.
"Hey babies, it's time to wake up. I'm gonna make dinner with Abuela and I know your going to love it. But only because it's Friday."
"Mommy?" Elijah says.
"Yeah buddy?" Beca answers and looks over to him.
"Are you leaving after dinner?"
"No buddy, I'm staying tonight and so is aunt Chloe."
"Promise?" Maria says.
"I promise." Beca kisses their heads again and then stands up moving the stool back to its place on the room. "Come on, I'll put the tv on and you can sit on my bean bag chair." Beca says.
This excites the twins and they shoot up out of bed and into the lounge where Beca follows, grabs the rather large jumbo bean bag chair and places it at a decent distance from the tv, before turning it on and putting cartoons on. "Do you guys want a water?"
"Yes please." Maria says and Elijah copies.
Beca nods and goes to the kitchen grabs two small bottles of water from the fridge and gives them to her children. She goes back to the kitchen and starts making the homemade pizza while her mother creates the salad. She decides to make one large pizza for the five of them to share.
About 45 minutes later the food is done and Beca is plating it. She give herself, Chloe and her mother two slices of pizza as well as their salads and the twins get one slice each, which Beca cuts up for them and puts the little pizza squares on a plate for each of them. She leaves the crust because she knows they prefer to eat the crust as one and then she and Chloe carry all the plates to the lounge. Chloe and Kim sit on the couch whereas Beca decides to sit inbetween the twins on the beanbag. Beca then puts on Netflix and chooses a movie that she knows all of them - apart from Beca because she doesn't like movies, but watches them because she knows her kids love them - will watch, it's one of the shriek movies and while Beca will admit that it's funny sometimes, it's so very predictable. And Beca hates predictability.

As they break from the kiss Beca leans her forehead against Maria's, breathing heavily, their breaths mingle.
"Wow." Is all Beca can think to say.
"Yeah." Is what Maria replies with.
Beca pulls back and looks at Maria. Her eyes are still closed and she looks so beautiful right now that Beca can't help but stare at the woman in front of her. Maria opens one eye and looks at Beca.
"You know it's a little creepy that you're just staring at me right now?" She opens her other eye and smirks.
"You're mistaken." Beca says matching Maria's smirk.
"Oh?"
"Yeah." Beca's smirk fades into a smile that is soft and beautiful. "It's romantic." Beca whispers.
"You're right. It is romantic." Maria matches Beca's volume and then leans up into Beca's lips to press hers against them once more.
Once pulled back, Beca asks a question. "I know that we're going out on a date but I don't think that I can wait til then to ask if you'll be my girlfriend?"
"Of course I will." Maria says and kisses Beca chastely before moving out of her arms, grabbing her hand and pulling Beca out of the empty classroom and back over to the table filled with their friends, a smile so large on both of their faces that it looks rather suspicious to all of them.
"Why are you smiling like that?" Jacob asked. "And where did you go?"
Both girls blushed and Chloe squealed.
"Yes. They are totes dating." Chloe says loudly. Everyone turns to the couple and stares at them while both of them smile guiltily.
"Maria?" Kori asks, raising a single eyebrow in question.
Maria looks at Beca, who smiles, before turning back to Kori. "Umm...Yeah." Maria says with a dreamy smile on her face as she turns back to Beca. "Yeah, we are."
All of the girls - not including Beca and Maria - squeal and attract the attention of most of the cafeteria while the boys hi five Beca and congratulate them.
"Okay, okay. Relax, calm down." Maria says.
"Okay, but, who asked who?"
"Beca asked me out and I kissed her and then she asked me to be her girlfriend and I said yes." Chloe squeals for a third time but significantly quieter than the last two times.
"Oh My God. Beca is your girlfriend." Chloe turns to Beca and asks, "When's the date?"
"Soon." Then Beca turns to Maria as everyone else on the table continues with their own conversations. "When are you free?"
"Tonight, tomorrow and Friday." Maria says.
"Okay so I'll pick you up at seven tonight and we'll go out." Beca says nonchalantly. She lifts their still joined hands and places them on the table, thanking god that she's left handed and Maria is right handed. Beca continues to eat her previously discarded food and looks at Maria who is smiling brightly.
"Okay. Yeah, what are we doing?" She asks.
"I'm thinking that we just wing it. You know, just do what feels right. But dress casually." Beca says. Maria nods, leans in and chastely pecks Beca on the cheek. Beca smiles and continues eating her salad.
-o0o-o0o-o0o-
Beca finally comes out of her flashback when the movie finishes. She thinks back over the memory for a few seconds.
Yeah, nothing about Beca's life had been predictable.
