"I've been meaning to ask you something," Beca said grabbing everyone's attention which consisted of her dad, Emily and Katherine.
"Who?" Katherine asked as she stuck a fork full of meat into her mouth.
"You," Beca said looking up from the table. "And dad."
Emily looked at her, curious as to what it was but soon realized it after remembering their talk with their friends a few days ago.
"Sure, what's up?" Dr. Mitchell asked after taking a sip of his water and beca fiddled with her fingers, a nervous habit of hers.
"Well," she trailed off, fearing their answer. "Chloe said her family aren't doing anything for Christmas so I was wondering if she could spend it with us?"
The seventeen year old eyed both adults, anxiously waiting for an answer as they looked at each other.
"It's fine with me as long as you're okay with it," Katherine said to her fiancé with a shrug. "She's a wonderful young lady; so sweet and caring."
Hearing Katherine talking about her girlfriend in such a positive way warmed her heart. Emily rested her hand on Beca's and smiled when the teenager looked at her.
"I'll be honest with you," Dr. Mitchell started which caused Beca's heart rate to speed up as she was almost sure it sounded like he was going to say no. He was pretty traditional when it came to holidays with his family. "I absolutely adore Chloe." His daughter smiled so big it started to hurt but rolled her eyes at his next statement. "I didn't care for any of your other boyfriends and girlfriends but Chloe is different. There's just something about her."
The brunette squeezed Emily's hand who smiled just as big as her.
"Huh," he added. "I'll have to remember that when I give a toast at your guys' wedding."
Katherine and Emily laughed but Beca didn't think it was funny, more so confusing.
"What?" she barely got out. "Dad, we're only 17."
"Well yeah, but isn't Chloe turning 18 in a few months?" He asked taking a bite of his food. Katherine and her daughter just watched in pure entertainment.
"How do you even know that?" beca questioned, completely mortified.
"I did my research."
The brunette stared at her father. "You stalked my girlfriend?"
"Since when did doing research mean stalking?" He asked sarcastically.
Beca clearly got her sense of humor and sarcastic, smart ass ways from her father. She got most things from him; the only thing she seemed to get from her mother was how much alike they looked. Although she hated that, she couldn't deny that Sheila was a gorgeous woman.
Sensing his daughter's utter confusion, he laughed. "Relax, Beca," he said. "We talked a few weeks ago while you were asleep on the couch."
The brunette let out a breath she didn't know she was holding. "Thank God. I thought I was going to have to have a serious conversation with Chloe."
The other three family members laughed and continued eating, Beca relieved that herded was just joking.
"So, is that a yes?" She asked realizing he never gave her an answer.
"Are you okay with it, Em?" he asked the youngest who nodded vigorously.
"Of course," she replied and Dr. Mitchell turned back to Beca with a smile.
"I would love it if Chloe joined us for Christmas."
Beca didn't know she could smile any bigger, but she did, letting out numerous 'thank you's' before finishing her plate. Due to the two girls being on break as well as Dr. Mitchell, they had all decided to have some much needed family time with just the four of them. They spent the rest of the day playing board games and taking a drive just to go sight seeing, hitting a few art museums on their journey. It was nice to just get away and have a simple day without any drama or soccer games to get injured in.
"I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing
I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive," Beca sang into the microphone in the small diner.
Her, Emily, Stacie Chloe and Jessie decided on going to the small restaurant on open mic night to have some fun. Benji and Aubrey had already left to visit family for the holidays so the remaining five thought it'd be a great idea to do something together before Jesse left; Stacie wasn't actually leaving until Christmas Eve so they had a few days to spend with her and obviously Beca, Emily and Chloe were staying in town for Christmas.
The whole room screamed and whistled as Beca belted out the lyrics, her voice sounding absolutely perfect with the song. Chloe smiled as she watched her girlfriend in complete awe at the passion the younger girl put into the performance even if it was just one song in the small building with roughly 50 people taking up the capacity.
"Let's go Beca!" she yelled as the brunette went into the last few lines of the song. By the time she had finished, everyone gave her a round of applause before she made her way back to her table.
"That was so fucking good," Stacie screamed as she pulled her friend into a hug and the other three teenagers agreed.
"Thanks, guys," she replied and gave Chloe a quick but gentle kiss.
"You were really good, babe," the redhead smiled as she whispered to the girl. "I love it when you sing."
"We should sing a duet," the brunette suggested with a smile. "I absolutely love how soft your voice is and it'll go great with mine. Don't you think?"
"I don't know, Beca," she trailed off, biting her lip.
"Please?" the soccer player begged. "We don't have to go up now, but I'd like to sometime tonight."
Chloe stared at her girlfriend in deep thought, genuinely considering it but she new her answer as soon as the brunette gave her a puppy dog face, her lip sticking out and big blue eyes staring almost pleadingly at her.
"Alright fine," she smiled at Beca before being pulled into another kiss.
"I love you," Beca whispered against her lips with a smile.
Chloe connected their lips once more in a quick kiss. "I love you too."
As they watched their friends sing Lady Gaga's Poker Face, the couple decided on a song to sing. As Jesse attempted to twerk like the blonde standing next him, Beca made her way over to the man who was in charge of the whole mic night to tell him her and Chloe wanted to go as soon as they could.
"It's our song," Beca smiled when she sat back down and patiently waited for their turn, figuring out who was singing what part. As the previous song ended, the room erupted into cheer as her friends made it off the small stage, laughing their asses off.
"You guys are unbelievable," Beca laughed when her friends all sat down on their side of the booth.
"Oh come on, Beca," Jesse laughed. "You're just jealous you couldn't pull that off even if you wanted to."
"I know I couldn't," she laughed. "That was all you, dude."
Stacie and Emily both raised their eyebrows at the lack of recognition and Beca corrected herself.
"Yes, please give credit where it's due," Emily joked.
A few other restaurant-goers went before Beca and Chloe were called up to the stage, taking their friend's by surprise.
"Is it in tune?" Beca asked the man as she pointed to the black piano on the corner of the stage and he just nodded his head.
"You're playing the piano?" Chloe asked with a smile and Beca sat down on the black bench as she nodded her head.
"Is that okay?" she asked and the redhead immediately nodded her head, bringing a stood over to sit beside her girlfriend to the side of the piano.
"Yeah, I love it when you play," Chloe smiled and Beca playfully scoffed as she looked up at her.
"You're such a weirdo?" the brunette joked before resting her hands on the keys.
"Yeah, okay," Chloe stated. "Jerk. You didn't believe me when I told you I was faster."
Beca rolled her eyes with a small laugh, noting all the faces staring at them as they drank their cups of coffee and ate muffins. "I'm not gonna live that down," she acknowledged. "I'm playing it a little slower than normal so just warning you." The 17 year old adjusted the microphone on the piano. "You ready?"
Chloe nodded her hand as she held the extra microphone in her hand and the brunette began gently hitting the corresponding keys to the chords of the song before beginning to sing.
"You shout it out
But I can't hear a word you say
I'm talking loud not saying much
I'm criticized but all your bullets ricochet
You shoot me down, but I get up."
"I'm bulletproof nothing to lose
Fire away, fire away
Ricochet, you take your aim
Fire away, fire away
You shoot me down but I won't fall, I am titanium
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium, I am titanium, I am titanium, I am titanium," both girls sang, their voices blending together perfectly.
Beca smiled up at Chloe who was already looking down at her with her own smile; one that showed just how much she adored the younger girl.
"Cut me down
But it's you who has further to fall
Ghost town, haunted love
Raise your voice, sticks and stones may break my bones
I'm talking loud not saying much," Chloe sang softly, looking out into the crowd of people before making eye contact with Stacie who had a huge as smile plastered on her face.
The blonde knew how much Beca and Chloe loved each other and she could see it while watching her two friends sing together. The redhead makes Beca happy and Stacie couldn't be more grateful for the older woman.
"I'm bulletproof nothing to lose
Fire away, fire away
Ricochet, you take your aim
Fire away, fire away
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium, I am titanium," the two sang together once more before Beca took the bridge, putting even more passion into it.
Her fingers pressed against the keys in a way that showed off her skills as a pianist and a singer all at the same time and Chloe just watched with a big smile. Beca's eyes stayed closed, feeling the emotion behind the song.
"Stone-hard, machine gun
Firing at the ones who run
Stone-hard, thus bulletproof glass."
Beca suddenly slowed down her movements, hitting several notes as Chloe started singing a few lines before Beca joined in for the last bit.
"You shoot me down but I won't fall, I am titanium
You shoot me down but I won't fall, I am titanium
You shoot me down but I won't fall, I am titanium
You shoot me down but I won't fall, I am titanium
I am titanium."
As the cheered louder than they previously did for anybody else- Beca included, the two girls smiled at each other, completely satisfied with their song choice.
"Let's go Bechloe!" they heard Jesse scream louder than everyone else which made a few stares come his way.
The two girls just laughed as they stood up from their seats. The two girls couldn't resist pulling the other in for a hug which they both smiled in. The brunette took in the sweet smell of Chloe and she rolled her eyes at realizing her leather jacket now completely smelled like the other girl. Chloe had stole it from Beca weeks ago and never returned it which never happened anyway seeing as the brunette always had to be the one to get it back from her. It was pretty pointless to take it back now seeing how Chloe loved it and to be honest, Beca loved her leather jacket on the redhead; it made her red hair and blue eyes pop more. She had completely gave up and decided on just buying a new one for herself instead of battling with her girlfriend on who got to keep it.
"Give it up for Beca and Chloe!" the man yelled and the two girls finally pulled away before heading back to her friends who couldn't seem to stop praising them on their performance and choice of song.
"You two are the perfect couple," Emily stated which reminded me of what Beca's dad said.
The brunette turned to her girlfriend with a goofy grin and said, "My dad is a diehard Bechloe shipper," she laughed and the redhead furrowed her eyebrows. "He made it clear that he's already working on a toast for our wedding."
The new information caused Chloe's cheeks to to red as she became speechless.
"What?" Jesse laughed as Stacie choked on her drink. "Seriously?"
Beca nodded and Emily jumped in the conversation as she patted the blonde's back. "He even said he loved Chloe," she turned tp the redhead across from her. "He also made the statement, 'I didn't care for any of your other boyfriends and girlfriends but Chloe is different. There's just something about her.'"
Beca shook her head at Emily's almost spot on imitation of her dad as Stacie and Jesse's eyes widened before they laughed and started making stupid jokes. Chloe however, felt a smile appear on her face but her cheeks become even more red. She was glad her girlfriend's father loved her but was a little weirded out that he mentioned their wedding.
"At least he doesn't hate you," Jesse said before Chloe could say anything. "Beca's last boyfriend was chased out of the house naked after being caught fucking Beca."
"Really, Jess?" Beca groaned glaring at the kid who just shrugged his shoulders.
"I remember that!" Emily shouted then added in a lower voice. "That was the first dick I ever saw."
Everyone looked at the youngest of the group, Beca furrowing her eyebrows with a disgusted look.
"That must have been awkward," Chloe giggled and the brunette beside her tried to glare at her in attempt to be serious, but couldn't help but smile at the sound of her girlfriend's laugh.
"Awkward?" Beca asked rhetorically. "It was mortifying. My dad saw me naked."
"It's not that bad," Stacie tried being serious and Beca's hands dropped to the table as her mouth dropped.
"I was 15, Stacie!" she exclaimed a little loudly but no one around them payed attention, instead focusing on the young girl on stage. "It's not like I was a kid."
"I walked in on my grandparents once," Jesse muttered, staring straight ahead grabbing everyone's attention as he recalled the memory. "I'm forever scarred so I'm begging you all: please lock your doors."
The four girls just looked at him weirdly before burning out into laughter as they continued on with their fun night out. That was until they were interrupted.
"Hello, Beca."
