The idea of throwing Beca a welcome back party came from Cynthia Rose. Beca had been back long enough to convince the black woman that she would stay. When a idea had formed in her head, she had pitched the idea to Fat Amy. Of course, the Australian woman had thought it was a good idea. Out of the Bellas, Fat Amy had forgiven Beca the easiest.
When she knew she had Fat Amy had her back, she went to Stacie, Flo, Jessica and Ashley with the plan of throwing Beca a welcome home party. As the true Bellas they were, they were in for a party.
The was the easiest part. All they now had to do was convincing Chloe, Aubrey, Legacy and Lilly that it was a good way to start rebuilding their relationship with the tiny brunette. They knew it wasn't going to be easy to convince the redhead and the legacy Bella. There was still to much hurt and angry feelings. Plus the two still refused to listen to what their old captain had to say.
Stacie agreed to talk to her wife and get her on their side. If Aubrey was convinced, it would be much easier to convince Chloe. And if Chloe was convinced, they knew that Legacy would follow. But Chloe and Legacy weren't their main concern.
They were most concerned about Lilly. The Asian Bella always had been quiet. They always had to put effort in hearing what she said. The times the Bellas had heard her talk out loud could be counted on one hand. The dead of her son had shut her up completely. Nobody knew what went through her mind. Although Lilly always showed up at every Bella event, they didn't know how she felt about Beca.
Flo who was the closest with Lilly offered to talk with her. Even if she didn't speak, Flo could tell whether or not Lilly liked the idea. After years of being friends they could tell by facial expressions how the other felt about things.
It turned out that they didn't had to worry about the aca moms and their daughter. Out of the blue, they received a message in their group chat about the unexpected family reunion. After that it wasn't hard to convince them to throw Beca a little party. When Lilly didn't seem to have a problem with it either, they went into full party planning mode.
Since Beca's house was the only house to fit them all, they decided to surprise the tiny DJ there. They made a grocery and party supplies list. To throw a party for so many people they needed to carefully organise it. Luckily, Aubrey was a master in planning. She took charge and assigned each of them to a task. She even got the Bella babies involved and let them colour a welcome back banner. When the kids learned about their new long lost aunt, they couldn't wait to meet her.
When they had all the party supplies and they were all free, they decided that tonight was the night to surprise Beca. They had assembled at Emily and Benji's house. From there they divided themselves in two vans and went on their way.
Fat Amy's task was to sent Beca a message when they had arrived. Of course the first message was too weird for Beca to understand. The second message she did understand and they saw her standing behind a window on the first floor. The look on her face was priceless and then she disappeared for a moment. Shortly after the front door opened and Beca came outside to greet them.
To their surprise, Beca didn't go to Chloe first. Instead, she walked straight to Lilly and hugged the quiet woman. A huge smile on the Asian womens face said enough and for the first time in years, the woman spoke. It was only one word and it was a whisper, but they all could clearly heard her saying 'Beca'.
Beca invited them in, and they put all the supplies in the kitchen and fridge. After a proper introduction to the Bella babies, the party was ready to start.
It was like they never had been apart. Everybody was enjoying themselves. They were singing and laughing. They just enjoyed being together and have a good time.
The party was in full swing when the doorbell rang. Not expecting anyone else, Beca opened the door, curious about who it was.
Her heart stopped when she saw two police officers. Her first thought was that something had happened to her father or stepmonster.
The officers explained her that they had come for her. Her rival Jesse Swanson, had filed a complain against her. She had to go to the police station and answer some questions. That was all they wanted to say. Cuffed before the eyes of her friends, the police officers took her away.
Before she got in the car, the short brunette turned to her friends and asked them to contact her father. He would know what to do.
Not knowing what would happen, her friends stayed behind at the music producer's house.
