Riley took a deep breath as she walked up the steps she hadn't been on in months. She knocked on the door, pressed the doorbell and bit her lip nervously.

The door opened and Beca looked at her with wide eyes. "Riley… Uh hi."

"H-Hey Beca." Riley said nervously. "C-Can I come in?"

Beca nodded. "Yeah sure."

Riley nervously wiped her sweaty palms on her jeans and sat down on the couch. "I just wanna start off by saying I'm sorry."

Beca smiled and nodded. "Thank you, how have you been?"

Riley sighed. "Honestly I've been miserable. Staying with my mom was the worst and I missed you like crazy, not to mention finding out that my nephew was born and I missed it."

Beca nodded. "Yeah a lot has happened these past few months.."

"I was such a dick Beca.. I was a fucking dickwad and I'm so sorry." Riley said with tears in her eyes. "I took my anger and frustration out on you and that was a big mistake, you're my big sister."

Beca reached out and grabbed Riley's hands. "You were a dickwad and you should be very sorry, but I forgive you.. I get you were in a mix of emotions and you directed your anger at me. We're not okay and the damage still needs to be fixed, but I forgive you. You're my sister and I'm willing to work through our issues."

Riley heard crying and looked up the stairs with a smile. "Is that him?"

Beca nodded. "Crying as usual."

Riley laughed. "The life of a parent."

"Yeah… So uh have you spoken to Aubrey?"

Riley nodded. "I was actually just with her before I came here, she told me everything that went down with you guys."

Beca nodded. "Oh and how is she?"

Riley shrugged. "She seems fine, she's still getting therapy and working out her issues… I uh I actually took a few therapy sessions while I was away…"

Beca's eyes widened. "You did?"

"Yeah, I was trying to figure out why on earth I turned my back on my sister so quickly when she has been nothing but kind and loving to me…"

Beca nodded. "And did you find your answer?"

"I did." Riley said with a nod. "And that's why I'm back.. I guess you can say I went through what Aubrey somewhat is going through… Jealousy. You and Chloe go through so much but no matter what your love remains solid as a rock. Even when it seems like it's going to crumble it remains strong and I've never had anything like that, not even with Aubrey as you can see. People kill for your kind of love and you just make it seem so easy when in reality it's not."

Beca laughed. "It sure as hell is not easy Ry I'll tell you that, but I'm glad you figured things out.. I'm hoping that means you've moved passed it."

Riley nodded. "Yeah of course, I wouldn't have come back if I didn't."

"You hurt me you know.."

Riley sighed and put her head down in shame, "I'm sorry… That was a fucked up day. I really shouldn't have spazzed out on you."

Beca nodded. "I get it though, you were hurt and confused… I missed you though.."

Riley let out a breath. "I missed you too."

"Come here." Beca said as she opened her arms and pulled her little sister into a tight hug. "I still love you."

Riley smiled and hugged Beca back. "I love you too."

Beca pulled away with a smile. "We're on the road to recovering our relationship."

Riley nodded. "I can't wait until we're back to normal."

Chloe came walking into the room looking down at their son. "Babe who was at the do- oh.." Chloe said as she looked up, seeing Riley sitting there.

Riley stood up and smiled. "Hey Chloe."

Chloe looked at Beca who nodded at her with a smile before looking at Riley. "Hey Riley how've you been?"

Riley shrugged. "Hanging in there, working some things out.. It's great to see you."

Chloe nodded. "You too, I've missed having you around it's been too quiet, even with the baby." Chloe said with a laugh as she walked closer to Riley. "Jackson look who it is, your aunty we've been telling you about Aunt Riley."

Riley's eyes widened as she got a glimpse of her nephew. "You guys told him about me?"

Beca nodded. "We just like talking to him about his family, I know he doesn't really understand but we like to do it." Beca said with a small shrug.

Chloe smiled and looked at Riley. "Would you like to hold him?"

"Uh no…" Riley said as she felt herself start to panic.

Beca laughed. "It's fine, he'll be fine and you'll be fine."

Riley nodded and held out her arms. "Okay but only for a second."

Chloe gently reached over and handed Jackson to his aunt with a smile. "Now just gently rock him if he starts getting fussy."

Riley smiled as tears formed in his eyes. "He looks like dad… How is that possible?"

Beca laughed. "Well he looks like me and I've been told I look like our father."

Riley nodded. "Yeah but how? I thought Chloe carried him."

Chloe smiled. "Yeah and we used a donor who is most likely her doppelganger.."

Beca laughed and nodded. "Honestly I feel like dad has a secret son and he turned out to be our sperm donor."

Riley shrugged. "It is possible, I mean look at me." She said with a laugh before looking at Jackson again. "Wow… This is legit, you guys are really parents now."

Chloe nodded. "Yeah we have been for a little over a month now, it still feels unreal sometimes though."

"I bet.." Riley looked at the time and sighed. "I gotta get going, dad's expecting me and he's upset with me for just taking off so I better I get to him… Would it be cool if I came over tomorrow morning?"

Beca smiled and nodded. "Of course."

"Cool." Riley said as she gently kissed Jackson's forehead before handing him over to Chloe. "I definitely want to get back to that cutie.

Beca pulled Riley into a hug. "I'll see you tomorrow."

Riley nodded and hugged Chloe. "She really missed you." Chloe whispered into her ear before pulling away.

Riley smiled. "I'll be by tomorrow and maybe we can go get brunch or something."

"Sounds good, I'll walk you to the door." Beca said with a small smile. She walked back to the living room with a smile and sat down. "It was great seeing her."

Chloe nodded. "It really was."

"So tomorrow's the big day." Beca said as she grabbed Jackson from Chloe."

Chloe nodded and let out a breath. "I know, there are so many things running through my head right now."

"You see us?" Beca asked as she gestured to herself and Jackson. "We're gonna be here for you no matter what. No matter how things go with Richard you'll have us."

Chloe nodded and smiled as she grabbed Beca's hand. "And I love both of you so much."

"We love you too, right Jax?" Beca said in a baby voice.

Jackson gave them a quick small grin and Chloe's heart melted. "I've never been so happy." Chloe said as he kissed Jackson's cheek and leaned up to kiss Beca.

"I could say the same thing." Beca said happily as Chloe cuddled up to her.


"So how have things been at work?" Riley asked as she ate some of her pancakes.

Beca shrugged. "Things are fine, I miss my assistant though…"

Riley's eyes widened. "You don't have an assistant? I thought you would have filled that position by now."

Beca shook her head. "There's only one assistant that I really liked." She said with a smile. "And the job is still hers if she wants it."

"Oh she wants it!" Riley said with a grin.

Beca smiled and held out her hand. "Welcome back to BxC Ry."

"This is amazing!" She looked down at Jackson in the car seat. "Did you hear that nephew? I'm back!"

Chloe looked at the time and sighed. "This has been great and I'm glad you're back at BxC but we've gotta get going ."

"Oh okay, thanks for breakfast." Riley said as she stood up. "So where are you guys headed?"

Beca put money on the table and stood up. "We're going to dad's to drop off Jackson and then there's something Chloe and I have to take care of."

"I could uh take Jackson… if you're comfortable with it of course… I mean I live with dad and I was gonna be on my way there anyway."

Chloe looked at Beca uneasily before looking back at Riley. "I don't know.."

"I promise we'll be fine, I just want to spend more time with my nephew." Riley said with a small smile.

Chloe looked at Beca. "What do you think?"

Beca sighed. "It's a little nerve wrecking.. But I do trust you.." She looked at Chloe. "I'm comfortable with it if you're comfortable with it."

"You guys can trust me." Riley said as she clapped her hands together with hope.

Chloe nodded. "I trust you it's just me being a mom who can't let go of her son." She let out a breath. "Fine you can take him but please call as soon as you get home safely." Chloe said as she handed Riley the diaper bag.

"Dad knows everything to do with him so you should be good, but don't hesitate to call us if you need us."

Riley nodded. "Got it!" She grabbed the car seat and looked at them with a grin. "I've got this."

"Do you know how to put a carseat in the car?" Chloe asked worriedly.

Riley laughed. "Chloe stop stressing I know what I'm doing. I do know how to do it, now say bye to your son and I'll be on my way."

Chloe took a deep breath and nodded before walking over to them. "Be good for aunt Riley sweety." She leaned over kissed his forehead.

Beca smiled and kissed his cheek. "Love you Jax." She looked at Chloe and smiled. "We should get going."

Chloe nodded. "Okay." She looked at Riley and son and let out a breath. "Please drive careful."

"I promise I'll drive as safe as possible." Riley said with sincerity.

Chloe nodded and grabbed Beca's hand. "Let's go."


Riley let out a deep breath as she parked the car. "Alright we made it safe and sound." She said to her sleeping nephew. She turned the car off and quickly took him out the back. "I can't believe I'm really an aunty." She said to herself.

"I can't believe I'm a grandpa."

Riley turned around and looked at her dad with a smirk. "That's right old man. Grab your grandson while I get his things."

John laughed and grabbed the car seat, smiling at his grandson that resembled him. "I thought Beca and Chloe were dropping him off."

Riley nodded. "They were but I convinced them to let me take Jack."

"I'm surprised they let you they're very protective over him, especially Chloe."

Riley laughed. "Yeah it took a couple reassurances but they let me. I just want to spend some time with him, I missed out on a whole month of his life and I don't want to miss anymore… I should've been there for his birth." Riley said sadly.

John nodded. "We get why you needed to get away, you were confused and heartbroken. Should you have at least reached out? Yes, but your sister loves you and is a very understanding person luckily."

"Yeah I'm gonna make it up to them though."

John smiled. "I know you will."


"What if he was just lying and he attacks us again?" Chloe asked as she eyed the restaurant warily.

Beca sighed, Chloe had been voicing her worries over and over again for hours and throughout the whole drive to the restaurant. "Babe I won't let him lay a finger on you and the minute he says anything that could upset you we're leaving." She grabbed Chloe's hand. "Chloe if you don't want to do this then we can leave, you don't owe that man anything."

Chloe nodded. "I know I just.. I want to see what he has to say."

"You think you can forgive him?"

Chloe shrugged. "I don't know,..." She took a deep breath and took off her seat belt. "Okay, let's do this."
