"I hope you're happy." Beca said angrily to Mr. Swanson as she walked to her car.
He rolled his eyes. "I told you I didn't want to do this, you have no right to be mad at me."
Beca faced him. "You shouldn't have just left your wife unexpectedly for my mother! You're an asshole and now my best friend is mad at me."
Melissa shook her head. "Why'd you have to do this?"
He looked at her with wide eyes. "You're mad at me?"
Melissa nodded. "You've turned this into a huge mess. You know Jennifer and I were friends before and I was shocked she was so okay with us being together but now I know it's because you never even told her.. How could you just abandon her like that, just disappear without a trace."
Mr. Swanson shrugged. "It was easier to just leave and start over with you.." He grabbed Melissa's hands. "I love you, I left her for you… So we could be together with no problems."
"Well there are problems and I'm finding out just how much of an ass you are.. Are you just gonna take off on me when you find someone else you want to be with?"
Mr. Swanson rolled his eyes and sighed. "Melissa come on! You're being ridiculous!"
"No!" Melissa said sadly. "What's ridiculous is me ever getting involved with my friends husband."
"What are you saying?"
Melissa took a deep breath. "I'm saying when we get home pack your bags and leave…"
"You're not serious."
Melissa nodded. "I'm so serious."
Mr. Swanson looked at Beca and stepped to her. "This is all your fault you dumb bitch."
Beca's eyes widened and she clenched her fist getting ready to punch him. "Yo-"
"Don't call my daughter a bitch." She said as she punched him in the face.
Beca smiled. "Way to go mom! We'll give you a ride." She said as she grabbed her mother's hand and led her to their car.
Melissa got in the car with tears in her eyes. "I'm sorry girls.. I had no idea he was like that.. And I'm sorry for messing up your friendship with Jesse."
Beca shook her head. "It's fine mom.. Jesse is just really angry right now, I'll talk to him later and hopefully we'll get things sorted."
"Are you gonna be safe with Mr. Swanson coming over?" Chloe asked feeling worried for Beca's mom.
Melissa nodded. "He wouldn't lay a hand on me.."
"Maybe we should stay with you while he get's his things.."
Melissa smiled. "I'll be fine, but I would enjoy spending time with you girls." She looked at Chloe. "I'd like to get to know you better."
Chloe nodded with a smile. "We'll have a girls day, maybe we can even spend the night."
"That sounds nice, we leave tomorrow so it'd be nice to spend some time with yo- crap.." Beca said as a thought passed her mind.
Chloe looked over at Beca. "What's wrong babe?"
Beca looked at the time. "I told Aden I'd take him out today."
Melissa smiled. "You get along with your brother?"
Beca shrugged and nodded. "I mean he's three so.."
Chloe laughed. "Aden absolutely adores Beca and I can tell he wormed his way into her heart those few hours they spent together."
Melissa nodded. "How about you drop Chloe off with me and she and I can hang out while you take your little brother out."
Beca looked at Chloe. "You okay with that?"
Chloe nodded. "That sounds great, maybe I can get Melissa to tell me some stories about you."
Beca groaned. "Oh god."
Melissa laughed. "Oh I know just the story to tell, I've got pictures too!"
Beca took a deep breath as she stood in front of her father's door. "Here goes nothing…" She said before knocking . Not even a minute went by before the front door opened and Sheila opened the door with a smiling Aden in her arms. "Hey Sheila.." She smiled at Aden. "Hey Aden."
Aden waved. "Hi Beca!" He reached out for Beca to hold him.
Beca smiled and took him from Sheila. "How are you buddy?"
"Good, we play?"
Beca nodded. "Sure we can play for a bit, then I wanna take you out is that okay?"
Aden nodded. "Play now?"
Beca laughed and walked into the house. "Yeah."
Sheila smiled as she followed them inside. "I wasn't sure if you were gonna show but I'm so glad you did. Aden woke up so excited."
"I really enjoyed my time with you guys yesterday… well once we sorted through everything." Beca said with a smile. "And I promise there's no hard feelings about anything."
Sheila smiled. "Thank you Beca."
John walked into the room with a smile. "I never thought I'd see my two kids and my beautiful wife smiling and interacting with each other… It's beautiful and all I've wanted."
Beca nodded. "Hey dad."
John walked over to Beca and hugged her. "Good afternoon, how are you?"
"I'm good, morning was a bit rough but I'm glad to be here." Beca said sincerely.
John nodded. "Where's Chloe? I was expecting her to come back as well."
Beca smiled. "She's with mom spending the day with her."
"Oh.. I take it things went well with her?"
Beca nodded. "Things went great, mom loves Chloe and Chloe loves mom so I'm happy. They're just spending time to get to know each other more."
John nodded. "That's nice, maybe Chloe could spend some time with us before you guys leave."
"We leave tomorrow but maybe we can stop by in the morning and hang out with you guys."
Sheila smiled. "That'd be great! I can make breakfast and we can eat as a family!"
Beca laughed. "I never had a family breakfast before.."
"Well it's time to start right John?"
John smiled and nodded. "It's been time but your mother and I never gave you what you deserved… I wanna right my wrongs, maybe you can visit more often now?"
Beca nodded with a small smile. "I think I will."
Aden sighed and pulled on Beca's leg. "We play now?"
Beca laughed and grabbed Aden's hand. "Let's play."
"I took this picture of Beca on her seventh birthday." Melissa said with a smile as she handed Chloe a picture. "I think this was the happiest I've ever seen her…" Melissa sighed. "I don't know how much Beca told you about us but we weren't the best of parents and almost everyday was an argument between John and I but this day was perfect… We were all just so…. Happy."
Chloe looked through the photos from that day with a smile. "I can tell… I haven't seen Beca smile like that yet."
Melissa grinned. "I've seen her smile at you like that… She does it you just haven't seen it. So tell me how you and Beca met."
Chloe smiled as she thought about it. "Well I was on a radio show with one of Beca's friends and he asked me my favorite song, favorite artist, and crush… All the answers just so happened to be Beca so he got in contact with Beca and gave her my number and she got me a seat next to her at the Grammys. We met at the Grammys and we instantly connected, we started off as friends and then best friends and we hit a few road blocks but here we are officially dating for four months now and I've never been happier."
"Thank you for bringing my daughter to me."
Chloe shrugged. "It was Beca's decision, I just gave her a slight nudge."
Melissa nodded. "I hope you girls come back more often now."
"I think we will, I'll talk to Beca about it." Chloe said with a smile.
"We're gonna head out now." Beca said as she hoisted Aden on her hip.
John nodded. "Where you guys headed?"
Beca looked at Aden who was beaming with excitement. "Go ahead and tell them."
"We going to the zoo!" Aden yelled as he threw his hands in the air.
Beca laughed. "You guys can tag along if you want, I'll pay for your tickets to get in and what not."
John shook his head. "You go enjoy your time with your brother, who knows the next time you'll see him."
"Dad I promise I'll be around more, you guys are gonna get sick of me."
Sheila smiled. "Not possible, but you go ahead."
Beca nodded. "Okay, after the zoo we'll have a late lunch and then I'll bring him back."
"Sounds good." Sheila said happily. She kissed Aden on the forehead. "Be good for your sister."
"Kay mommy." He looked at Beca. "We leave now?"
Beca laughed. "Yeah we leave."
"Melissa I just don't see why this has to be over.." Mr. Swanson said with a sigh as he packed his bags.
Melissa rolled her eyes. "Because you aren't a person I want to be around."
He rolled his eyes. "You wanted to be around me before your daughter came."
Melissa laughed. "Thank God she did! She exposed you for who you really are. What kind of man just disappears from his wife? It doesn't even look like you care!"
"It's because I care about you! I love you, so why should I care about her?"
"Because she's a person! A person you spent over twenty years with!" Melissa yelled.
Mr. Swanson sighed. "So that's it?"
"That's it.."
"Okay then." He said with a final nod before walking out the house.
Chloe walked over to Melissa. "You okay?"
Melissa nodded. "Yeah I'm good, I needed to do that."
"I'm sorry for us coming here and messing things up between you two."
Melissa shook her head. "No, I'm glad this happened.. If you two hadn't of come I'd still be with that man falling in love with him." Melissa sighed. "I was so foolish."
Chloe grabbed Melissa's hand. "No you just thought he was someone different than who he was. He lied to you and probably pursued while you were feeling vulnerable."
"Thank you for being here Chloe."
Chloe smiled, "Of course."
"Beca look at the monkeys!" Aden yelled excitedly
Beca smiled and nodded. "I see them, let me take a picture of you with them."
Aden nodded and stood in front of them before grinning widely. "CHEEESE!"
Beca grinned and took the picture. "You're so cute." She said as she showed him the picture.
Aden nodded. "Mommy says I look just like you."
Beca laughed and looked at him, noticing all the similar features. "You definitely do, we look like dad."
Aden smiled and hugged Beca's legs. "Thank you for taking me to the zoo, I love you."
"I love you too." Beca said as she bent down and picked him up. "I promise you I'm gonna come around and see you a lot, I'm sorry I wasn't around before.. I didn't even know about you."
Aden wrapped his arms around Beca's neck and kissed her cheek. "It's okay Beca, you here now."
Beca grinned. "You're really smart and mature you know that?"
Aden laughed. "Mommy and daddy teach me things so I be the smartest when I go to school."
"You most certainly will be the smartest."
Aden nodded. "Were you the smartest?"
Beca sighed. "I could've been but I liked to slack off a lot, I made some bad choices when I was in school but I want you to make sure you always pay attention and be good."
"I will."
Beca nodded. "Good, now how about we check out the lions."
Aden eyes widened and he bounced excitedly. "Yeah! Rawr!"
Beca laughed. "Let's go buddy."
"You listen to my music?" Beca said with a small smile as she sat across from Aden at the restaurant.
Aden nodded as he ate his fries. "Mhm I love all your mixes and even the songs you make yourself."
"Chew your food buddy."
Aden chewed his food before continuing. "Mommy always plays your music and I see you when you on TV and you win stuff."
Beca smiled "You guys watch me."
"Mhm." Aden said with a nod. "Daddy cried one time and said he was happy.
Beca smiled as tears filled her eyes. "Really.. Wow.."
"You cry Beca?" Aden asked in confusion.
Beca smiled. "Happy tears like dad." Beca said before taking a deep breath. "Finish up your food."
"Okay." Aden said with a smile before taking a bite of his cheeseburger.
"He's such a great kid." Beca said with a smile as she talked to Chloe and her mom. "We had a great time together and you'd almost forget he's a three year old."
Melissa smiled. "I"m glad everything went well today."
Beca nodded. "Me too, what'd you guys do?"
Chloe smiled. "Talked a lot about you." She said with a wink.
"Oh god." Beca said playfully. "Do you still love me?"
Chloe nodded and kissed Beca. "Maybe even more now."
Melissa grinned. "You guys are so cute."
Beca smiled. "I guess we are.. Something smells good."
Melissa nodded. "Chloe and I cooked dinner together so we'll be eating in a few hours."
"Sounds good." She looked at Chloe. "My dad wants us to come by tomorrow for breakfast you cool with that?"
Chloe smiled and nodded. "Fine with me."
Beca looked at Melissa. "I hope you weren't planning anything for breakfast too.. I just said it was okay not even thinking you could-"
"It's fine sweetheart, I get dinner with you guys and he'll get breakfast with you." Melissa said with a smile. "I'm just glad you get along with your father now."
Beca smiled. "Me too.. I kinda missed you guys." She looked at Chloe. "Thank you for getting me to open up about my parents and getting me to come here."
Chloe grinned. "No problem."
"Mom don't cry." Beca said as Melissa hugged her and tears fell from her eyes.
Melissa wiped her tears and let out a breath. "I'm sorry I just haven't seen you in so long… I just wish we had more time."
Beca smiled and wiped her mom's tears. "How about this, we'll come back in two weeks.."
"Really?"
Beca nodded. "I promise I'll visit more often mom, it'll never be years okay?"
"Okay babygirl." She looked at Chloe and pulled her into a hug. "Keep taking care of my daughter for me okay?"
Chloe smiled and nodded. "Of course, it was so nice to meet you."
Melissa smiled. "You too." She looked at Beca. "Please keep her forever and treat her right."
"Yes ma'am." Beca said with a nod. "I'll call you once we get off the plane."
Melissa nodded. "Okay honey, say hello to your father for me."
Beca walked to the car with Chloe. "One last stop then we're off to see your parents."
Chloe grinned. "Yup, how're you feeling about that?
"Nervous as hell but I'll survive… Have you told them about me and that we're coming to see them?"
Chloe smiled and nodded. "They can't wait to meet you."
Beca let out a sigh of relief and started driving. "That takes off some of the tension."
Beca knocked on her father's door and looked at Chloe with a smile when she heard Aden's voice.
"Daddy Beca and Chloe's here! Hurry!"
The door opened and John looked at them with a smile. "Good morning girls."
Beca and Chloe smiled. "Good morning."
Aden wrapped his arms around Beca and Chloe's legs. "Good morning!"
Beca bent down and picked him. "Good morning Aden!"
"Mommy made breakfast, come on!"
Beca nodded and grabbed Chloe's hand before walking in with her father. "Good morning Sheila."
Sheila placed a plate on the table and looked at them with a grin. "Good morning girls I'm glad you could make it!"
"Me too." Beca said as she looked over the food on the table. "Wow.. This all looks amazing."
Chloe nodded. "It really does, thanks for having us."
John smiled. "Of course, I wish we could have had you guys over sooner."
"Yeah but we're here now." Beca said happily as she sat down. "Is it time to eat? I'm starving."
Chloe laughed. "Beca has quite the appetite in the morning."
Sheila smiled. "So does Aden." She sat down with a smile. "Everybody dig in!"
"You really did a good job with breakfast." Beca said with a satisfied smile.
Sheila smiled. "Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it."
Beca nodded. "This was a great first family breakfast."
John held up his glass of orange juice with a small smile. "Here's to more family breakfasts'."
Everyone laughed and raised their drinks.
"And more playtime with Beca." Aden yelled out happily as he clinked his cup with Beca's.
Beca grinned. "Yes to all of it." Beca looked at the time and let out a small sigh. "I hate to eat and run but Chloe and I have a flight to catch."
John nodded in understanding. "It was great seeing you and fixing things with you Beca… I love you." He looked at Chloe and smiled. "And it was great meeting you."
Chloe smiled. "Great meeting you too, I'm glad things went better than Beca and I expected."
Beca nodded. "So am I." She got up and hugged her dad. "I love you too by the way." She hugged Sheila. "It was nice meeting you." She looked at Aden who had tears in his eyes. "Come here.."
Aden ran to Beca and she scooped him up. "Why you gotta leave Beca?"
"I don't live here buddy… but I promise you I'll be back soon." Beca said as she hugged him.
Aden nodded. "Okay." He reached out one of his arms and looked at Chloe. "Hug?"
Chloe smiled and joined in the hug. "Hopefully next time I'll get to play with you guys."
Aden smiled. "Yeah!"
"Okay we gotta go now." Beca said as she put Aden down. "Dad has my number so when you wanna talk to me just give me a call okay?"
Aden nodded. "Kay."
"I'll walk you to the door." John said as he followed them out the kitchen. "So you guys headed home or somewhere else?"
Beca took a deep breath. "We're making a stop in New York…. I'm gonna meet Chloe's parents."
John's eyes widened. "You're meeting her parents? You guys are gonna get married!" John said with a laugh.
Beca shrugged and nodded. "Probably… Wish me luck with them."
John smiled and kissed Beca's forehead. "You won't need it but I'll give it to you anyway."
"Babe deep breaths.." Chloe said as she tried to get Beca to calm down. They were currently standing in front of Chloe's parents house and Beca was freaking out.
"I don't know if I can do this… You saw how shocked my dad was when I said I was going to meet your parents." Beca said as she gripped Chloe's hand tightly.
Chloe sighed. "You went and met Sasha's family with no problem…"
"T-That felt different for some reason… I'm more serious about you.. I plan on marrying you and being with you the rest of our lives...It feels way more… intense with you."
Chloe nodded. "So you wanna leave?"
Beca shook her head. "No… No let's do this…" She knocked on the door before she lost her nerve. She waited anxiously for the door to open.
"Chloe! And you must be Beca…"
