A/N: Okay first of all, I posted a fic earlier, a Rizzoli & Isles based bechloe fic, so if you wanna check that out, then please do. I'd also appreciate a few reviews, just so I know whether I'm going at it the right way lol.

Second of all, this is gonna be a long road ahead, and I trust that you believe I'm not going to break your hearts. (Okay maybe a little bit.) But like people say; "You can't have a rainbow without a little rain." or something like that.. Anyway, I know you all feel for Chloe and you all just want Beca to get better, but just note that all things happen for a reason. And with that, I leave you with chapter eleven! (again, there's two flashbacks from 'I could be the one' in this chapter.)

"I've just let these little things slip out of my mouth,

Because it's you, oh it's you,

It's you, they add up to."

The brunette looked straight into the camera, wanting to show how much she meant the words that she was singing.

"I'm in love you,

And all these little things."

The guitar playing then stopped and Beca rested her elbows on the desk in front of her. She sighed as she rested her head in her hands and looked down at the floor.

"I love you, Chloe" she whispered, unaware that Kim and Demi were standing in the doorway with huge grins on their faces. Both of them were happy that the brunette had finally told Chloe what she's been hoping to tell her for ages now.

It was barely audible, but Beca smiled and let out a breath she didn't even realize she was holding. She sighed and tears of joy streamed down her face as she looked up and took in the redhead's next words.

"I love you too, Beca"

The brunette let out another breath she didn't even realize she was holding. Chloe had the brightest smile on her face and her eyes held tears of joy. Beca's grin grew as she took in the sight of the woman before her on the computer screen. "You do?"

"Of course I do!" Chloe giggled, and Beca's heart seemed to melt at the sound.

"Say it again"

Chloe smiled, "I love you"

Beca beamed, still unaware of Kim and Demi stood in the doorway with huge smiles on their faces as they took in the sight before them. The DJ brought her hand up to Chloe's face on the laptop, imagining that she could feel the touch of her. She sighed in content, and Chloe did the same, bringing her hand up to touch Beca's face on her own computer screen.

"I love you so much"

There was a comfortable silence between the two of them and no matter how hard they tried, Demi and Kim just couldn't seem to walk away from the events before them. Kim had tears in her eyes, relieved that the two had finally sorted out their problems, and Demi had the hugest smile on her face, glad that Beca had finally told Chloe how she truly felt.

"I miss you" Chloe's voice broke the silence, and the tone almost broke everyone's heart. She sounded so broken, so upset. But Beca smiled reassuringly.

"It won't be long now" she whispered as she closed her eyes and brought her face closer to the screen. "God, I can't wait to kiss you"

Chloe laughed lightly, "Me neither"

The two stayed there for hours, completely oblivious to their surroundings. Kim and Demi left a few minutes after they had said 'I love you', as they wanted to leave them both alone, together.

Eventually (and unfortunately) Chloe started to get tired at around 1:30am (4:30am Beca's time) and decided to get ready for bed. Beca waited until Chloe got comfortable in bed with the laptop beside her.

"I've got to admit, you look really sexy laid in my bed" the brunette smirked as Chloe laughed and rested her head on the arm that was propped up with her elbow. The two spoke a bit more before Chloe started to drift off. She wasn't fully asleep yet so Beca decided to pull her guitar out again. She started playing a tune (another song that she had written with the redhead in mind) and Chloe smiled tiredly as she rested her head on the pillow and listened to Beca's beautiful voice singing her to sleep.

"I'll be right here when you need me,

Anytime just keep believing,

And I'll be right here.

If you ever need a friend,

Someone to care and understand,

I'll be right here."

Beca smiled as she saw Chloe struggling to keep her eyes open. She softened her voice and carried on, watching as Chloe's back rose and dropped with every breath she took.

"All you have to do is call my name,

No matter how close or far away,

Ask me once and I'll come,

I'll come running.

And when I can't be with you dream me near,

Keep me in your heart and I'll appear,

All you gotta do is turn around.

Close your eyes,

Look inside,

I'm right here."

The brunette smiled as she finished, noticing that Chloe had drifted off with a content smile on her face. She heard the faint sound of her breath coming and going through the speaker and she sighed contently. "Goodnight beautiful" she whispered before she shut the laptop off and climbed into bed. She took her phone from her pocket and stopped at Chloe's name. Smiling, she sent a text off to her before she called it a night and tried to get some sleep.

«Beca: You're adorable when you sleep. In case you didn't already know, I love you. Call me when you see this.»

The brunette pulled her hand away with a frown on her face. "Why do you keep calling me baby?" she asked. "And who are you?"

Chloe's throat instantly closed up. It swelled up and became dry, and she was sure that her heart stopped beating as well. Her face paled as she tried to catch her breath, and before she knew it, she was running out of the room, down the corridor, out of the hospital, until she collapsed on the cold, concrete floor just outside of the doors.

She felt numb. Scrap that, she felt paralyzed. The confused look on Beca's face was embedded in her brain as she doubled over and sobbed into her hands. She couldn't control the tears flowing from her eyes, and she was completely unaware of passers by, giving her strange looks, staring at her. She couldn't seem to control herself; the only thing she could do was cry, and cry. She was also unaware of Aubrey, Ryan and Stacie approaching her. Tears streaming down their own faces at what the doctors had told them. They didn't know what the hell to do in a situation like this, all they could do was try and console the redhead.

Back in Beca's hospital room, Jane, with a scared look on her face, pulled her wife out of the room. "Go talk to her!" she pleaded as she looked down the corridor to where Stacie, Aubrey and Ryan had just ran after Chloe. She bit her finger nails in anticipation as she waited for Maura to agree. However, Maura's face turned from scared to shocked as she shook her head quickly.

"I'm not a therapist, Jane! I can't-"

"-Maura, she needs you."

The blonde gave her wife an unsure look before she sighed in defeat. "Fine" she muttered. And with that, she was gone; down the hall and out of the hospital to see the broken redhead.

Jane took a few deep breaths, before she tentatively approached Beca's hospital room again.

"Um, doctor." Rizzoli said in her deep yet quiet voice. She smiled slightly as the doctor turned to her.

"I'm sorry, no visitors right now, we need to-"

"-I just need five minutes with her. Please."

The doctor sighed at the woman before he nodded his head, confirming that she was allowed five minutes with the brunette. He walked out of the room, apologizing to Jesse when the man pleaded that he let him go in to see his best friend. The truth was, if Beca saw anybody she knew right now, the doctors were scared it would put her back in a coma. They had to find out how far back she remembered before they let anybody she knew in to see her. However, because she doesn't know Jane, the woman was allowed in to speak to her. Jane pulled up a chair and sat on it next to Beca's bed, and the brunette looked down at her with tired eyes.

"Please tell me what's going on." Beca whispered, eyes surprisingly dry, no emotion in her face whatsoever.

Rizzoli looked up from where she was staring at the ground in silence, seeing Beca looking at her expectantly.

"I'm Detective Jane Rizzoli, I'm here working on your case with my partner's Detective Frost and Detective Korsak, and my wife, Doctor Maura Isles. A week ago, you were involved in a shooting-"

"Why do people keep saying that?!" Beca interrupted, confused at what exactly had happened.

"Beca, you were shot in the head while on the pier in San Diego."

"What was I doing in San Diego?" she frowned.

"You were on vacation."

"With who?" she asked quietly, breaking eye contact to play with a loose thread in her hospital gown.

"That red-haired woman who was just in here?"

"What? I don't even know who that woman is, why would I go on vacation with her?"

Jane felt tears forming in her eyes, and everybody knew that it took a lot to make Jane Rizzoli cry. She looked up at Beca who was staring at her, waiting for an answer. She took a deep breath.

"Beca, that woman is your wife."

Two and a half years ago...

It had been exactly one month. Exactly one month since both of them had expressed their feelings to each other for the first time. Exactly one month since they said those three words.

The two of them called and Skyped each other almost everyday (whenever Beca wasn't in the studio with Demi.) They found it pretty hard not seeing each other. Not being able to hug each other. Kiss each other. Touch each other.

Up until now.

Beca had finished recording for the album a few days early so she figured she should surprise Chloe. After a boring, long plane ride back to L.A, she finally made it home at 2am. She was hoping that Chloe was actually in. Ever since she had to pick Jake up from the kennel, she had stayed at Beca's house with him.

The brunette slowly turned the key and unlocked the door. She opened the door slowly, trying not to wake Chloe, or Jake for that matter. After locking the door and dropping her bags in the living room, she crept upstairs to her bedroom where she saw Chloe curled up in her bed.

She stopped for a moment to take in the sight before her. She had finally got Chloe, the love of her life. And she looked absolutely beautiful. She had a pink tank top on and short grey shorts, and her bright red hair (even in the dark) stood out like a forest fire. She had a small smile on her face, even though she was sleeping and Beca's breath almost got caught in her throat because of how utterly beautiful the redhead looked. I swear she's a fucking angel, she thought, smiling as she closed her bedroom door, eyes still locked on the sleeping figure.

She tiptoed her way across the room until she was next to the bed. Yawning, she took off her shoes and coat before pulling the cover and slipping into bed behind the redhead. Chloe stirred a bit in her sleep as Beca wrapped a protective arm over her stomach from behind.

"Hmm?"

"Hey baby" Beca grinned as she placed a kiss on the back of Chloe's neck.

"Bec?" Chloe asked sleepily, although still in a shocked tone, as she turned around to face the brunette. "You're here" she whispered as she cupped Beca's face with both of her hands. "You're back"

"I am, I finished early so I thought I'd surprise you" she whispered, almost inaudibly as she rested her forehead against Chloe's.

"I missed you"

"I missed you too" the DJ sighed as she brought her hand up to stroke Chloe's cheek.

The redhead's breath caught in her throat when she felt the brunette's lips brush against hers. She smiled into the kiss as she felt Beca suck her plump bottom lip. There was just something about the way that Beca kissed her which made her feel like the two of them were the only people in the world.

She kissed her back without hesitation as she brought her hands to grip the back of Beca's neck and pull her closer. Beca smiled warmly at the redhead as she broke the kiss. She slowly turned Chloe on her back so she could lay over her. She brushed their noses together and gave the woman another soft kiss before pulling away to brush a strand of hair out of her face.

"What are we?" the redhead asked as she brought a hand down to the dip of Beca's back and used the other to stroke her cheek. "I mean like, am I your girlfriend?"

The DJ smiled warmly, "If you'll be my girlfriend, then yes. But.." she paused, trying to find the right words.

"But what?"

"But, I think that you're more than just my girlfriend. I think you're the love of my life, Chloe. But, I think calling you my girlfriend would be easier" she smiled as she brushed her nose with the redhead's again.

"You're a big cheeseball, you know that?" she laughed softly.

"Well.. Will you be my girlfriend?"

Chloe smiled, "I think I'd much rather be the love of your life. But yes, I'll be your girlfriend"

Beca let out a breath of air she didn't even realize she was holding. Chloe was her girlfriend. Chloe wanted to be her girlfriend. "You're so beautiful" she murmured before she brought their lips together again in a heated kiss. Before it could get too out of hand, though, she pulled away and placed another soft kiss on hergirlfriend's lips before settling behind her again.

"You better get some sleep, I'll see you in the morning" she whispered, placing a kiss on the woman's shoulder.

"I love you, Becs" Chloe whispered sleepily and the brunette felt a warm feeling in the pit of her stomach at the redhead's tone of voice. She sounded so genuine and so passionate.

"I love you too" she smiled, feeling Chloe's hand rest over her own that was wrapped around her.

Maura slowly approached the exit of the hospital, and instantly she saw Chloe sat in the floor, her back resting against the wall as Ryan, Aubrey and Stacie comforted her. The three had managed to move the redhead out of the way of people entering and exiting the building, but they hadn't managed to stop her crying.

She walked up to them tentatively, and Stacie was the first one to notice her. The brunette immediately recognized her, and knew straight away that Maura wanted some alone time to talk to Chloe. She tapped Aubrey on the shoulder, and the blonde looked at Maura questioningly.

"May I?" Maura asked, motioning towards the redhead. Stacie gave Aubrey a look as if to tell her to let Maura be with Chloe for a while, and it took her and Ryan a few more minutes to convince Aubrey to leave the redhead alone with her.

Once Aubrey, Stacie and Ryan had left and gone back into the building, Maura took a seat next to the redhead on the ground. She didn't chance putting an arm around the redhead, and Chloe was glad of that because she didn't want to be touched right now. It was weird how much Maura understood her.

About forty five minutes passed before Chloe stopped crying, and she lifted her head up from where it had been rested on her knees. She ignored the painful, cramped feeling she got when she stretched her legs out as she wiped at her eyes with the sleeves of her shirt.

"I'd tell you that everything's going to be okay, but I'm not certain that it is." Maura said with a sigh, looking down at the ground as she ran her fingers over the hard concrete. "All I can do is tell you not to give up on her."

"What am I supposed to do then?" Chloe asked, her voice cracking at the end of the sentence. She cleared her throat a few times, and sighed when Maura didn't answer. "What if I'm pregnant, Maura?"

"Then you're going to be an amazing mother, whether you believe me or not." Maura smiled, placing a comforting hand on the redhead's knee.

"I'm scared." Chloe whispered in a timid voice, slowly moving her hand to rest on her stomach. The blonde, seeing this action, moved her hand from the woman's knee to put it around her shoulders. And Chloe relaxed into her touch.

"I know you are."

The blonde looked up at the sky and closed her eyes to try and stop the tears from coming as she listened to Chloe start to cry once again. The woman rested her head in the dip of Maura's neck, and tears started to soak her collar. And Maura was never one for physical contact, but she couldn't help but pull Chloe a little bit closer to her as she offered a shoulder to cry on.

"Did you find the bastard who shot her?" Chloe asked through her tears, and the question earned a slight smile from Maura before her face turned serious again.

"We have a suspect. Detective Frost and Detective Korsak have been sent out to find him."

"What's his name?"

"Chloe, I'm afraid that information is confidential-"

"-I just want to know the name of the man who's ruined my life." she whispered, looking down to play with the hem of her shirt as more tears clouded her eyes. Maura didn't answer at first, and Chloe was sure that she wasn't going to tell her. But then the doctor spoke up with a shaky voice as she tightened her hold on Chloe's shoulder.

"His name is James Pointer."

Beca's heartbeat started to quicken it's pace as she took in the words that the police woman in front of her had said. She didn't answer, afraid that her voice would give up on her, and she'd end up crying instead.

But.. Her wife? How the hell could she be her wife? She doesn't have any recollection of meeting that woman, and if she's honest, she just thought she was a hot doctor. Not her wife. And she's.. she's way too young to be married anyway. That, along with the fact that she's not gay. At least, she doesn't think she is. Plus, she has a boyfriend.

"Where are my parents?" she asked, knowing that the hospital would have called them, seen as they're her number one emergency contact in her phone. However, Jane didn't answer her. "Jane?"

Meanwhile, in Jane's head, she was having a back-and-forth discussion with herself about this current situation. I swear Chloe told me that her parents died when she was eighteen. Yes, February fourteenth. It was their anniversary and they were involved in a car accident. They died straight away. So.. why is Beca asking for her parents when they're dead?

"Beca?" Jane asked suddenly, alerting the small brunette who had been observing her with skeptical eyes. "Beca, what date is it today?"

"I don't know, last time I checked it was like, the twentieth of January."

"What, um.." Jane gulped, hesitating for a moment before she asked, "What year?" And her heart almost gave way at Beca's shy answer.

"Two thousand and six?"

After a few hours trying to get Chloe's mind free of Beca, but to no avail, Maura stood up with shaky legs, having been sat on the ground for too long. The two had laughed now and again throughout their talk, but no matter how much Chloe tried, she couldn't stop thinking about Beca. About her wife. About how she didn't recognize her.

She's seen on movies that people who lose their memory, only lose it for a certain amount of time before something triggers it and they remember everything instantly. Of course, Chloe's life isn't a movie, but she was still optimistic despite herself. Besides, how bad could it be?

Her arms were folded across her chest, as if creating a barrier in case her heart jumped out, as she approached the entrance. Maura led the way, and the redhead's legs became shakier and shakier as they got nearer to Beca's hospital room. They finally made it, and instantly Chloe stiffened when she saw Jesse, Aubrey, Stacie, Ryan, Fat Amy, CR and Lily sitting outside the room with their heads hanging low, all ranging from sobbing to angrily wiping their stray tears away.

She approached them hastily, and saw that that Dr. Kelley was standing in front of the door, along with Jane and the two other nurses. She tried to look into the window but the blinds were shut.

"What's happened?" she asked in a worried tone, already feeling her heart beating faster by the second.

"Beca's resting right now, she needs-"

"-What's going on?"

"Mrs Mitchell, we-"

"I don't need any bullshit explanations, just tell me what's happened!" she yelled with clenched teeth.

"We're afraid Beca has long-term memory loss." Dr Kelley said in an apologetic tone, and the redhead's face paled instantly. "It seems that her most recent memory is when she was nineteen years old, and anything after that is completely blank."

The redhead opened her mouth a few times, but no words came out. "What-what does..?" she gulped, tears already falling from her tired eyes.

"She doesn't remember you, Chloe. We're truly sorry, honestly, but we've done everything we can do to help her."

"If in this lifetime, I won't get to have you, I'll make sure that if I meet you in my next life, I won't have to think twice on saying that, 'I waited a lifetime to say I love you'."
