BECA'S POV
It took me a while before I force myself to smile back at her as memories of our past starts to flash in my mind. To be honest, she's the last person I want to see right now, scratch that, she's the only person on my list that I wish would vanish into thin air.
"So, you manage to win her back huh?" I don't like the way she smiles at me and if you're going to ask me, I don't want to speak to her too "Well yeah and I regret the day I listened to you."
She chuckles and then look at Chloe who is still speaking to Bailey's teachers "Now, now Beca, don't be like that. We both know that you got some benefits when you left her, don't you?"
"Still I shouldn't have listened to you. All you want is me and the money I'll be making with my career." I tried not to yell because there are some parents and teachers passing us by.
"You want a successful career with my help; I think it is fair to give me what I want right? After all, I'm the one who help you with your career."
As I don't want to agree but she's right. During those times that she's my manager, I landed a few gigs and even a sign a contract deal here in Atlanta. Its kinda kick start for me but she really showed me who she was.
Money is the only important thing to her, I was blinded by fame and even thought that she can love me like Chloe did but she only used me for her own sake. Now I do really know that I'm the big loser to believe in her.
"It's good to see you again but I need to get back to my wife." I didn't wait for her to say something as I start to walk "You think I don't know what's going on between the two of you?" she asks.
I shouldn't stop walking but my feet betrays me "I do know that she filed a divorce. You're still in the process of winning her back and to be able to be with your daughter."
"But let's face it Beca, you've been away from her for ten years and already missed eight years of your daughter's life, do you think you'll be able to catch up?"
I clench my fist but starts walking away before I can't control my temper "You do know the answer to my question. You're born to be alone all your life."
"You don't know how to handle a relationship or be true to your own wife!"
Don't stop walking, don't stop walking…
I bit my cheeks from the inside to stop myself from crying. It hurts but what she said is true. No matter what I do, no matter how hard I try, I already missed eight years of my daughter's life and betrayed the only one who loves me with all of her heart.
The question is; do I really deserve Chloe after all the things I'd done to her?

Chloe said goodbye to her daughter's teachers and her fellow parents. She walks towards where Beca is sitting and she's been quiet since she came back from getting their drinks. The redhead asks her if she's alright and the brunette give her a small smile first before answering her question.
The truth is, she knows if Beca is not telling her the truth and she doesn't like that. They both know that they should be honest with each other with regards to everything if they want their relationship to work out this time. She sits beside her and the brunette didn't even look at her.
"Mrs. Steele says it was nice meeting you." Chloe said, Beca hears her and look at her wife "Please do tell her that it was nice meeting her too."
"Beca what's wrong?" she knows that something's bothering her wife by the way she answered "I told you I'm alright Chlo."
"Really? But there's not Mrs. Steele." The brunette furrows her eyebrows in confusion "I just said that to know if you're really okay but by the looks of it, you're not."
"Chloe-" the redhead places her hand on top of the brunette's hand "Like I've told you a while ago, they don't know what happen to both of us and why you've been missing in our daughter's life Beca."
"And I don't think they need to know all the things that happened between the two of us so please don't let their words get in to you. The important thing is that you're here now, you won't leave right?"
Beca shook her head a couple of times "Even if you push me away and doesn't want me anymore, I'll still be here for you and our daughter." tears escape her eyes and the redhead wipes it.
"Come on, let's head back home. The girls are waiting and I'm sure Bailey wants to spend some time with you." Beca smiles and gently squeezes her wife's hand on hers "I'd like that." She says.
"What? Spending time with Bailey?"
"Yes and also the word home." Chloe gives her a sweet smile and stands up, she extends her hand towards her "So shall we head home my queen?"
Beca chuckles and gladly hold Chloe's hand "Of course, but you're my queen."
"Nah, we're both queens." They both giggle and Beca pulls her into hug "Thank you Chloe." She broke the hug and they both smiled at each other as they exit the door and went to their car.

When Beca and Chloe arrive at the latter's house, the girls are there with Bailey and they ordered food for them to share. They watch movies in Netflix and sometimes, talks about something or gossip about Hollywood actors and actresses. Everything seems perfect but there's someone who keep looking at Beca and that is Beth.
The lawyer noticed the distant look she have and the way she stares at Chloe then she'll let out a deep sigh. She also caught her looking at Bailey then blinks her eyes a couple of times, like she's keeping her tears at bay so she decided to talk to her.
"I'm getting more drinks, who want some?" the girls raised their hands and Beth shook her head " Beca come help me with the drinks."
The brunette looks at her and nods her head. Beth went straight to the fridge while Beca is leaning on the table waiting for her to give her some bottles but when the lawyer closes the fridge, she crosses her arms on her chest.
"Spill it." She says "Huh?"
"What's going on?" Beca furrows her eyebrows I confusion so Beth continues to speak "Oh please, don't give me that look. You've been quiet and distant the past few hours and look like you wanted to cry."
The DJ opens and closes her mouth like a fish, she's been trying to give Beth an answer but she fails "Is everything okay? Did something happen in PTA meeting?"
Beca shook her head and look down. Since they came back, all she wanted to do is to talk someone. She thinks of talking to Stacie but knowing the taller brunette, she'll force her to tell Chloe about her and she also knows how hysterical Stacie can be.
Her second option is to tell it to Aubrey, Cynthia-rose or Amy but they don't know about her and they also will force her to tell it to her wife. So her last option is Beth.
"Nothing… nothing happened at the meeting. Me and Chloe are fine." she look into Beth's eyes and the latter didn't say anything.
"Though something… or should I say, I saw someone-"
"Oh my God, don't you dare tell me you cheat on her again." Beca's eyes widen in horror and shook her head a couple of times "No!... why—What are you talking about?"
"I don't know, you tell me." Beca starts to fiddle with her fingers "The girl… the girl in my past. I saw her at the meeting."
"Girl? What girl?"
"You know who I'm referring to Beth. I don't need to repeat everything that's happened in the past."
"Oh… you mean that bitch…" Beca narrow her eyes at her "What? She's really a fucking bitch who—"
"Okay, I get it. I get it."
"Why? Are you hurt that—"
"I'm not and you can call her all you want for hell I care."
"Then what's wrong? Why you seem so… distant." Beca look at her once again but then look down on the floor "She said things to me and… I… I know it's the truth."
"Like what?"
"It's not that important. We should go back to them." Beca starts to walk when a hand stops her "I'm here to listen Beca. I'm your friend."
The brunette starts to cry and Beth pulls her into a hug "Come on, if you can't say it to me personally then maybe we can talk through text if that will make you comfortable."
"No, I'll tell you but please promise me not to tell anything to Chloe." Beth doesn't understand why Beca is asking her not to say anything but she agrees because of how the DJ looks right now.
"I promise." Beth answered.

As week passes by, Beca got the chance to spend some quality time with Bailey. When the class started, she's the one who drives her to school and then pick her up later. She wanted to buy a car instead of car rental but Chloe told her that she doesn't need to.
The redhead let her use her car, so after they drop Bailey to school, she drives Chloe to work. At first the redhead thought her wife will get bored of the routine so she told her that she can do what she wants while Bailey is at school and she's at work.
Beca assured her that this is what she wants. She also told her about the indefinite leave she asked of Aubrey, the brunette still didn't told her that she already retire as a singer but will continue to write songs for some artist. So while waiting for her daughter and wife, she spent her time looking for a studio.
Aubrey, Amy and CR went back to LA but once in a while, they went to Atlanta to spend time with their friends and of course their favourite niece. Emily starts her last year in university and doing internship on Beth's law firm.
Beca is happy; this is what she wants, her family and friends together. During Friday and Saturday night, Chloe allows Bailey to stay with Beca at the hotel, her friends still keeps on bugging her to tell the redhead about the house but every time she tries, she always change her mind the last minute.
Their routine? Beca will check-in in a hotel where she and Bailey will spend the nights on Friday and Saturday then they will return home on Sunday to have lunch with Chloe. But there's one thing Chloe doesn't know.
Bailey is sneaking out every night to sleep with her momma. The older Mitchell disagree at first but then her daughter keeps on pouting the entire day so she agrees to her plan. Though sometimes, Bailey will sneak out on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evening. There were also times that she went back home and sleep there.
Everything went well… well almost….
It's Wednesday night and Chloe got an emergency call and she needed to be at the office as soon as possible. She's putting some things in her bag while Bailey sits on the couch playing with her phone.
"Like I said, you need to listen to your momma and don't force her to let you stay up until eleven or you'll be grounded for a week."
"How will you know I forced her?" Chloe looks at her daughter and gives her a small smile "I have my ways sweetie so if I were you, I'll behave."
"Okay mom, I promise I'll behave like an angel."
"Good! Now come here and give me a hug." Bailey runs towards her mom and hugs her then they hear the door bell rings. The two of them walk hand in hand and the oldest redhead opens the door.
"Hey…" Beca's face light up the moment she saw Chloe "Hey, come in." and Chloe closes the door.
"Sorry if I bother you girls tonight but there's an emergency at work and they needed me there." The redhead says "Its fine Chloe, you don't have to worry. We'll take good care of little shawshank."
"Okay you so you know where to call me in case there's an emergency and I mean call me okay?" Amy and Beca nod their heads while smiling at her.
Why do I have a feeling that something will happen… it's not a bad feeling but… in a weird way…
Beca notice the hesitant look in Chloe's eyes "I'll call you, I promise."
"Okay good, so ah I need to go. I'll text you and don't wait for me; I don't know what time I'll be back." Chloe says and grabs her keys on the table "I'll drive you." Beca said.
"No it's okay, there's food in the fridge so help yourselves out but that doesn't include Baily… oh and Amy?…" the blonde girl looks at her "No junk foods please."
"Alright mate; no junk foods…" and gives her a salute, Chloe smiles and kiss Bailey's head then planted a kiss on Beca's cheeks. The three watches Chloe's car speed off and they all look at each other.
"So… you have an hour before you go to bed, what do you want to do?" Beca asks their daughter as she glance on her watch "Let's go to your house and watch some horror movies!"
"Nah, I don't want to have a problem with your mom so we'll stay here until she gets back. We can watch here."
"But mom, your living has this scary vibe that we needed so we'll enjoy watching a horror movie." Bailey starts to whine and look out of the window.
"We'll just turn off the lights s it'll be dark here."
"Do you think by just doing that, we'll get the vibe that we wanted?" Beca look around and knows that she's just making fool of herself. Chloe knows how to decorate and there's not a thing in her living room that can be scary or even if they turn off all the lights, the decorations around them still uplifting.
"But what if your mom comes back? She's going to kill me, you know that!"
"She won't and we'll be back before she knows it. You did hear her when she said that she didn't know what time she'll come back."
"Yes but what if-"
"Mom always text if she's on her way home." Beca thinks and contemplates for a while but then give in to her daughter's pout "Okay fine! But you have my back right?"
"Absolutely." Bailey answers.

20 minutes later…
The three girls, Beca, Bailey and Amy are now sitting on the DJ's couch, they are not going to watch some movie but they are going to play a game Amy recently found out from a friend. They turn off the lights, places some food at the table while Bailey answers the door for the pizza delivery guy.
"Okay so everything is set." Amy said after she tests if the screen mirroring will work "Cool!"
"Are we really playing that game?" the brunette asks when she hears the creepy music coming from the TV "Yes! They said it's one brilliant and unique game and it got me hooked though granny keeps on finding me wherever I hide."
"That means you're not good at hiding." Bailey said sitting in between the two while munching on her pizza "Hey little girl, I only allowed you to one slice and that's enough."
"Don't be a killjoy."
"Yes Beca, don't be a killjoy, now shall we start?" Beca glances at her phone for a while to check if Chloe text her and when she sees that there's no new messages, she looks at Amy and says "Hit it!"
The game creep the hell out of the three. Sometimes Amy throws her phone or if it's Beca's turn, the brunette will scream first before anything will happen on their character. Luckily for them the mobile phone seems to survive the impact of throwing or accidentally slipping off their hands, as what Amy calls it.
It's already been an hour and half since Chloe left. Beca told their daughter that it's past her bedtime but the little redhead keeps on insisting that she's not yet sleepy.
Beca checks her phone, still no text from Chloe but she has this feeling that someone is watching them.
"Here you go!" Amy said when she came back from the redhead's house to get more refreshments and chips "What the fudge Amy? She'll notice she'd been robbed of food."
"Don't be silly, she won't notice anything." Bailey let out a frustrated groan when granny finds her again "Did you close the door to the basement?"
"Yes."
"Okay, I don't want mom to see why its open." Beca look at her daughter and narrow her eyes at her "I thought she doesn't like going down there."
"Yeah because she hates dark and cold places but also she hates bugs."
"So that's the reason why she never caught you sneaking put using the door to the basement?" Amy asks her. Bailey found a door connecting to the basement of her momma's house.
Her friend, Riley, told her about it, at firsts she didn't believe her but oh boy she was wrong. You see the previous owner of Chloe and Beca's house are related to each other so they decided to build a pathway on the basement that will leads to each other basement doors.
Bailey uses it and confident that her mother won't find out because she'd never been to the basement since they live there.
"Lucky for you, you found that door or you'll be sneaking out through the window or the front door." Bailey winks at Amy and gives her the phone "Your turn."
"I think it's time for bed sweetie, it's almost 11 in the evening. Your mom will be mad at me if she finds out you're still awake."
"How would she know? She's not here."
"Yeah DJ, your wife's not here or did you receive a text from her?" the brunette shook her head while she glances at her phone again "But what if her battery wend dead and she's already at the house?"
Bailey and Amy look out the window "Nah, she's still not home." The little redhead says "How would you know?" Beca asks.
"There's a reason why I told you to turn off the lights, right?" she answered.

Another thirty minutes passes by and still they are inside granny's house. Beca had the chance to escape but panic when she hears footsteps approaching her from behind so instead of shooting granny with a tranquilizer, she drops it and the old lady hits her with a bat.
"Damn it! This game scares the hell out of me!" she says and drink from her soda "I told you it's a good game right?"
"Yeah, yeah but come on, we need to get out of that house or I won't be able to sleep because I'll keep on thinking about it." Amy starts another game and they all look at the screen displaying the word 'Day 1'.
The three are engage at the game and oblivious to their surrounding "Hide! Fuck Amy hide!" Beca yells.
"Language momma." Beca smiles sheepishly at her daughter and went back looking at the screen "Behind you!" Bailey shouted out of nowhere.
"Bloody hell! Don't yell like that! Here, take it." Amy tosses her phone at Beca because she needs to take a break to calm her nerves. This time, Bailey is sitting on the left side, Beca in the middle and Amy on the right.
"Okay you need to get that last part of shotgun at the basement so you can defend yourself." Amy says and takes a mouthful of chips and shoves it into her mouth.
"Momma I'm thirsty." Bailey says and extends her arm on Beca so she can pour some soda in it "Get some water; you had enough soda young lady."
"But momma, I'm thirsty." The little redhead slumps her body on the couch still holding her glass while looking at the TV then she hears something "Here sweetie, let me pour some for you."
Bailey smiles and gives the glasses to her, the three screams once more when they saw granny is after Beca's character "Run! Run! You're such a slowpoke! She's coming right after you!"
"I'm doing the best I can so please stop yelling!"
"You two are making me nervous." Bailey said "Here you go, baby." The little redhead turns her head to the left and smile at someone standing there beside the couch.
"Oh thank you momma." She answered and took a sip from her drink when she notice and her something "Thanks for what Bailey?" Beca asks.
Bailey swallow the liquid hard and slowly look up and saw a figure smiling down at her "U-uhh momma…." She said.
Beca and Amy are both busy trying to figure out where they will hide while running away from granny.
"I'll hide under the bed!" Beca says "No, she already saw you! You must keep on running!"
"No, I'll hide!" the character hides under the bed while the two girls wait what will happen next "M-momma, someone's inside the house." Bailey said.
"What? What do you mean someone's inside the house?" as the two older girls look at Bailey, they saw fear in her eyes and they slowly follows her gaze and the moment Beca sees that someone, all she wanted to do is to run or faint but Amy did what she does best.
"OH MY GOD! GRANNY'S HERE AND SHE'S GOING TO KILL US!" she shouted.
