BECA'S POV
Here I am standing in front of my shocked wife who's looking at me while covering her body. As if I haven't seen her naked. I look at her from head to toe then look back up only to see that she's glaring at me.
What did I do now? She's the one who's getting naked in front of Beth!
Then I realize something "Am I suppose to hide under the bed while the three of you are here?" Chloe furrows her eyebrows at me then she sighs "Okay, whoever is still hiding in this room, I want you to come out!"
The door of the cabinet opens and Stacie came out "Nice going Mitchell." She said.
"Who else is here?!" Chloe shouted again but no one comes out from hiding "Aunt Amy you can come out now." Bailey says, we all look at the bathroom door slowly opening.
"Hey guys! Oh hi Chloe! It's nice to see you again." Amy grins at my wife who is now flustered because she's only wearing her bra and underwear "What's going on here?" she asks.
"Well we came here to visit Bailey." Amy answers "Only to find out that you're having a strip show with Beth and in front of an eight year old girl!"
"I'm not giving her a strip show. What the hell are you talking about?!"
"Oh yeah then look at yourself! Are you planning to remove your undergarments too then what? Have sex on the bed while Bailey is here?"
"Will you just shut up and give me my clothes!" I pick up her clothes and give it to her "turn around." She commands me.
"Why? You let Beth saw you like this and I'm not allowed to watch?! I'm your wife in case you forgot!"
"Just turn around god damn it!"
"No!"
" .Beca." Chloe says through gritted teeth, as much as I don't want to obey her, there's nothing I can do about it. So I did what she told me, I turn around and saw Bailey smiling from ear to ear and Beth facing her back on us.
Wait… What?! Did I just say that Beth's facing her back on us?
"I'm not giving her a strip shows Beca and she's not watching me while I'm removing my clothes." I hear Chloe says behind me "But… I ah… heard you-"
"I'm talking to Bailey. I saw the worried look on her face and I should've known why she's acting weird all of a sudden." I turn around to face her once more and saw her putting her shirt on.
"If only you can keep your mouth shut and control that jealousy of yours, we might come out alive and now you ruined it." Amy says "Oh shut up!"
I look at my wife and she crossed her arms on her chest "Okay please hear me out first before you throw me out." I said.
"You never changed, don't you? You still keep on accusing me of things I never do."
"No please…. It's not that… It's ah-"I run out of words to say.
Why do I keep on messing things up?! I should have kept my mouth shut!
I start to panic again and breathe faster than I should "Beca? Are you okay?" I hear Chloe ask me.
I shook my head as I got dizzy, I think my body is beginning to shut down from all the stress, frustration, over thinking and lack of sleep these past few days.
"Beca?" I hear Chloe once more, I look at her but before I can say something, my vision gets blurry as darkness succumbs me.
30 MINUTES LATER (AT THE HOSPITAL)
CHLOE'S POV
When we arrive at the hospital, the nurses immediately takes Beca to the ER while we wait for her outside though it's been thirty minutes and the doctor haven't come out yet. I'm starting to worry about her, whatever happened to us, she's still the mother of my daughter.
"Mom, do you think momma Beca is alright?" Bailey asks me, I look down at her and motion at my daughter to sit on my lap "You're momma Beca is fine darling. The doctors will take good care of her, don't you worry."
I give her a kiss on the forehead and looks at the door of the Emergency Room. As we patiently waits there, I saw Ms. Posen walking towards us with Emily and another girl.
That must be Cynthia- Rose…
Amy stands up while Aubrey ask her something, Emily went to our side and kisses Bailey on her head "What did the doctor says?" she ask.
"We're still waiting Em. She's been there for thirty minutes now." The young brunette places her hand on my shoulder "Everything will be okay Chloe." I give her a small smile and looks at Aubrey who is now standing in front of me.
I can sense that she wanted to say something to me but instead of saying it, she just gives me a warm smile.
"Hello, I think I haven't introduced myself to you. I'm Cynthia-Rose Adams, you can call me CR." I gladly accept her hand and shakes it "I'm Chloe Beale. It's nice to meet you CR."
She sits on the chair opposite to us "So what happened to your wife?" she asks me.
"I don't know. I mean, we're having this conversation then all of a sudden she collapsed. We called for assistance and brought her here as fast as we could."
"Didn't Amy and Stacie tell you that she hasn't eaten anything since yesterday morning?" I look at Ms. Posen first then to Amy and Stacie "She didn't left Bailey's room since the two of you left." CR added.
"She didn't even drink water." Emily butted in "I'm not going to say this to make you feel guilty but that only show how you and Bailey mean so much to her."
I didn't say anything so she continues on talking "I know she's not the nicest person on earth for hurting you in the past but believe me when I say that she cares for you and your daughter." I look at Beth who is sitting on my left and she gives me a nod but before I can speak, the doctor came out from the ER.
"Beca Mitchell?" he ask and I feel Beth nudge her elbow me so I stand up "I'm her e—I'm her wife." I answer.
"She didn't call Beca her ex-wife, is that a good thing or a bad thing?" Amy asks and I hear her gasp and I don't know what made her do that as I don't bother looking at the girls, all I want to know is Beca's condition.
"How is she?" I ask "She's fine, there's nothing to worry about." He answers and I breathe out a sigh of relief.
"She collapsed because of fatigue. The test also shows that she's dehydrated, may I ask what makes her not to drink or eat anything?"
I open my mouth but no words came out "Her wife takes away her daughter when she finds out she's spending summer with her without her consent." I wanted to slap Amy on her head but decided to ignore the blonde girl "One more word from you Amy and I swear to God I'll make you stop from talking."
"Okay, okay, I'll stop. You don't need to be brutal, Aubrey." Amy answers.
"Does she need to stay here for a while?" I ask immediately before any one of the girls can speak again "No, all of her test came out negative, she's just dehydrated. I just need you to sign some papers and she can go home."
"Sure and thank you."
"It's nothing, oh by the way before I forgot, I need you to make sure that she eats and drink plenty, we don't want her to come back here sooner right? Take good care of your wife."
I chuckles nervously and I hope the doctor didn't notice it. He excuses himself for a while to get talk to the nurse about the papers I need to sign. As I look at the girls, they are all looking at me.
"What?" I ask "The doctor said you need to take care of your WIFE." Amy answers "I c-can't do that. I have a lot of things to do. Ms. Posen will take care of her."
"Just call me Aubrey and sorry but I have other talents that I need to attend to." I look over to CR who shook her head "Sorry Chloe, I have some photo shoots and interview until Tuesday."
"Amy?" I said "No can't do red, I have photo shoots also and TV guesting."
"Oh okay then maybe Stacie and Emily can do it. You're not working right?" Stacie smiles at me and raise her eyebrow "I may be on leave but my younger sister is on her summer vacation too and being her big sister, it is my duty to tour her around the city, right Emily?"
"Right, sorry Chloe." Emily says.
Okay, why do I have a feeling that they are planning something?
I look at Beth and before I can speak, she shook her head at me "She's your wife Chloe. She's your responsibility."
And that leaves me with no choice…
"Fine. I'll do it." I slump my body on the steel bench and Bailey sits on my lap "Don't worry mommy, I'll help you take care of her."
"Thanks baby." I smiled at her and look at the girls, they are giving each other thumbs up and I don't have any idea what that is for.
After I sign the papers and paid the bills, Aubrey drives us home. The girls are following us and riding at Amy's car. I am sitting on the passenger seat while Bailey and Beca are sitting on the back seat. Once in a while, I take a glimpse of them at the rear view mirror and every freaking time I do that, I see Beca looking back at me.
I felt the car stops and when I look outside the window, we're already in front of the building. I wait for Aubrey to go out of the car and help Beca but I think we're thinking the same thing since she's looking at me.
Don't wait f+-
or them to remind you who is Beca in your life, geez Chloe!
I open the door and went out of the car, I knock on their window and Bailey opens the passenger door, I smile at my daughter then look at Beca. I extend my hand at her and she kinda hesitated to accept it.
"I won't bite; I just want to help you." I said, she nods her head at me and hold my hand. I help her get out of the car and I can tell that she's a little weak "Next time don't do hunger strike. Your small body can't handle it."
"Well I'm not that hungry and no one can force me to eat if I don't want to." I look at Beca and she smile sheepishly at me "Except you of course."
"Good, now lets go. Bailey hold your momma's hand and don't let go." We start to walk but Aubrey honks her car and we look at her "We'll meet you girls upstairs." Beca nods her head as I said thank you to the blonde girl.
As soon as we arrive at her penthouse, I told Bailey to get some water for her while I bring Beca to her room but she stops me from doing it.
"Can I just sit on the sofa for a while? I don't want to lay down on the bed all day." She told me "Ah yeah sure, come on." I'm still holding her hand and I hope she won't hear my heart beating faster. Beca sits on the sofa and she looks at me.
"Uhm T-thank you." She said "It's nothing." I smiled at her and look down on the floor.
"Do you want me to get you a pillow?" I ask her when I look back at her "No but thank you for asking."
"Uhm okay, do you need anything else?"
"Yes I do."
"What?"
"C-can you stay here for a while? Uhm Y-you know if it's okay with you." I stare at her for a while and I miss this side of her. One of the things that made me fell in love with her.
"But if you don't want, I understand." I hear her say again, I take a sit beside her and tuck some loose hair covering her face "Actually that was my plan. I'll be staying here with you for a couple of days until you're okay."
"Really?"
"Yes and about Bailey. I'm allowing her to spend her summer vacation with you and yes she'll stay here with you." I see a bright smile forming on Beca's face then without a word, she pulls me into a hug "You don't know how much you made me happy."
I let out a small smile then rub her back because I can feel that she's about to cry. I broke the hug after a few minutes as she speaks.
"Does it mean that you're going to stay here with us too?"
"No, I'm going to stay at the hotel with Beth. We have a lot of work to do and-"I stop talking when I look at her and I don't know if my mind is playing tricks on me.
Did I just see a hint of jealousy in her eyes?
"Of course you need to stay with her. It's fine. I'm just your wife and she's your girlfriend. It's cool."
And you're asking yourself that question? Didn't you see how she reacts and thinks that you're giving Beth a strip show?!
"Beca comeon, you're-"
"You don't need to explain, I get the picture. Can you check what our daughter is doing?" I sigh and stand up from the sofa leaving her alone. I don't know what her problem is; I mean why she is so mad at Beth? The girl is not doing anything bad to her?
I'm still thinking things when I reach the kitchen, I saw Bailey sitting on a chair and eating cereal.
"I told you to get your mother some water." I said to her and place my hand on my hips "Sorry mom but I'm really hungry and I see this cereal like it's begging me to eat it."
'There's no doubt that you're her daughter.' I whispered to myself and get the glass of water on the table and walk back to the living room. I place it on the centre table in front of Beca.
"Thank you." She said without bothering to look at me so I just sit on the other side of the sofa and looks at the television that is now open.
BECA'S POV
20 MINUTES LATER…
I've been staring at the television and I can't even understand what I'm watching. When Bailey went to the living room, she sits on the sofa in between me and her mother then she changes the channel. This little monster didn't even ask me if I'm watching or not!
"Bailey, what on earth are we watching?" I ask our daughter who is giggling at the little pig "It's called Peppa pig mum." She answers mimicking the accent of the characters on the tv.
"And why are we watching this?"
"Before I have the remote and I want to watch it."
"But it has no sense."
"For you because you're old but for intelligent kids like me, it has a sense."
"Change it."
"No."
" . ." my daughter looks at me with those bright blue eyes "Fine then don't."
I don't know what's with their eyes that can make me say yes or do things they ask me to do!
I look at Chloe and she fell asleep, I smile a little on how cute she is while sleeping. She never changes but her love for me does.
I'm not going to repeat what you did in the past Mitchell and all you have to do is accept the fact that she have fallen out of love with you.
I sigh when I bring back my attention to the TV but scrunch my nose when I remember we're watching a kids show.
"Baby, get some pillow for your mom." I said "Why don't you get it?" she asks me.
"Well I'm tired and weak but you're not." I smiled sweetly at her when she looks at me
"I'm eight and still a kid, beside she's your wife." I don't know how she does that. I stand up from the sofa and went to my room. I grab two pillows, one for me and one for my Chloe. I walk back to the living room and go to her side.
I throw the other pillow I'm holding to Bailey who furrows her eyebrows at me but I ignore her. I carefully lift Chloe's head and place the pillow under. I stare at her for a while and didn't notice that my daughter is looking at me.
"Okay, I'll go to the kitchen to get me some food so you'll have plenty of time to stare at her." She says. I shook my head at my daughter then sit beside Chloe and lean little closer to her. I look down at her lips, hoping I can kiss her again.
'You're so beautiful.' I whispered to her, held her hand and kiss it. She moves a little so I immediately let go of her hand and turn my head to my right and was about to move to my place a while ago when I hear her speaks.
"You too babe." Chloe said
Did she just call me babe?
I look back at her and she's still sleeping.
Am I hearing things? Or maybe she thought I'm Bailey.
I look at the television still thinking.
Come on Beca, she won't call her daughter 'babe'.
I saw Bailey walking back and holding a bowl of cheese puffs and a glass of water. She stops when she saw me smiling at her.
"Don't smile like that momma, you'll give me nightmares!" she says "Oh shut it and watch that pepper pips of yours."
"It's Peppa Pig momma!"
"Whatever, it's the same."
"No it's not, Beth." I open my mouth to say something but she starts to laugh "You're lucky that you're my daughter." she smiles at me and we both laugh.
The girls go back to the penthouse with food on their hands. They thought that the three of them needed some time alone so they went to the cafeteria a few blocks away from the building. Aubrey uses her key so they can get in. They hear the television so she, Beth and Stacie walks towards the living room while Amy, CR and Emily goes to the kitchen to prepare the food.
The three girls smiles when they see the Beal-Mitchell family sleeping on the sofa. Bailey is still holding a cheese puffs on her hand while Beca is sleeping on Chloe's lap. Little did they know that the redhead woke up a while ago and sees the two fell asleep. She removes the pillow under her head and gives it to her daughter. She then pulls Beca and lay her down on her lap.
"Do we wake them up or let them be?" Beth asks "Let them sleep for a while. If they are still sleeping before we left then we're going to leave a note on the centre table." Aubrey answers.
"So what are these three doing?" they hear Amy asks. No one from Aubrey, Beth and Stacie answers and they let the aussie girl to see it for herself "So Beth, are you okay with this?" Amy asks again.
"Sorry but what do you mean by that?"
"We do know that you have a thing for the redhead and you do know that Beca is so fucking jealous of you." Beth just look at Amy then smiles "There's nothing to be jealous about and I'm okay with this, it's not like Chloe is cheating on me right?"
"So you do have a thing for Chloe! I knew it! Beca's going to murder you for sure."
"Amy will you just shut the fuck up." Cr says which makes the girls laughs "I want Beca to have an happy ending with Chloe but you do know what kind of lifestyle she has not to mention all of the girls fighting for her attention." CR added.
"So? She's not serious about them. It's just a fling."
"But Chloe didn't have any serious relationship or flings after Beca." Emily butted in then Stacie looks at Beth "Until she met Beth." Emily gives her sister a confused look which didn't go unnoticed by Aubrey.
"You mean you and Chloe are together?" Beth sighs then looks at the older Mitchell "Can I talk to you guys in private? I need to tell you something and I don't want Beca to hear it." She then looks at the ring she's wearing. Aubrey who is just listening and watching them saw the same ring on Chloe's hand.
Oh my God! Does it mean that Beca is a bit too late to make her family complete?
"Let's go to my house then I'll cook dinner for us." Aubrey says, she needs to know what's going on between Chloe and Beth "You know how to cook?" Stacie asks her.
"Nah, if you eat what she cooked, you'll die." Amy is the one who answers her, the taller blonde girl glares at her but smiles sweetly at Stacie who is smiling at her too "Start making the note while I cover the food on the table." Aubrey said.
After 15 minutes, the six girls left Beca's penthouse and they are now on their way to the basement parking area. Aubrey fishes out her keys from her pocket when Amy asks a question to Beth.
"So Beth, what are you going to tell us?" she starts to walk slowly and look at Stacie who gives her a nod "I don't know how to say this but…"
"But what?" CR asks "I'm gonna get married in three months." And with that Aubrey drops her keys on the ground, CR left her mouth hanging open while Amy says
"Oh you better hide Beth and you better hide far away from Mitchell or she'll kill you for stealing her wife!"
