'When 49 year old Kev Cliner agreed to allow a young man to rent a small piece of his swamp land in Baton rouge, Louisiana to park and live in his trailer. He had no idea that this man was wanted for murder, attempted murder, grand theft auto and kidnapping. He didn't know this man was Jesse Swanson.

It was near sunset on a particularly hot night, when Kev was driving through his land and came across the trailer. His intentions? Just to check on the man who was living on his land. What he found?

After exciting his truck he was met with the sound of screams coming from inside the small camping trailer and immediately grabbed the loaded gun he kept in his truck. When Swanson opened the door and was confronted, he claimed the noise was from the TV. Not believing his story, Cliner demanded to be let inside. When Swanson refused, he used force to enter the trailer and there he found none other than Beca Mitchell. Standing a few feet away, battered and frightened and pleading for his help.

After removing her from the trailer, holding Swanson at gun point, he led the missing girl to his truck. It was the moment that he turned his back that shots rang out. In a matter of seconds, they were engaged in a gun fight. A close friend of Cliner received a panicked message over his walkie talkie that they used to communicate out in the decollate swap land, from miss Mitchell, distraught and calling for help.

The last shot that rang out was the shot that hit Swanson and brought him down, giving Kev the chance to climb in to the truck ordering miss Mitchell to drive. It was when she hit the gas and left Jesse and that trailer in a cloud of dust and rocks that she realized Kev had been shot as well, as he called for help on the walkie. In a matter of a few hundred feet, and no knowledge of the land, the improbable happened, and Beca didn't have time to correct the truck before they hit a dip in the terrain, just deep enough to send the truck tumbling through the swamp. Kev, remained inside the cab, while Beca, was thrown from the vehicle, landing several yards away. Broken, bloody, and alone.

That is how she was found hours later, and was immediately rushed to the nearest hospital where she is now safe and in recovery from this nearly three week long nightmare. No word on the newly discovered pregnancy. As for Jesse Swanson, the shot that took him down, was not fatal, as he was missing from the scene of the crime by the time help arrived. Jesse Swanson. Age 22 wanted for murder armed and dangerous, gun shot wound, location unknown. Whereabouts unknown. If you see this man, do not approach. Call local authorities immediately. This is BCA news. Goodnight.'

It had been a week since Beca was found and brought to the hospital. Aubrey and Chloe didn't bother with getting a hotel , and with one glare from them they were permitted to stay with Beca in the hospital. They took turns going out to get food. Hospital food was horrid and made Beca sick.

The day before, Becas nurse took out Chloe's stitches and Beca got the first look at the damage. Aubreys stitches still needed to be in for a few more days, but the nurse gladly cleaned and bandaged it when it needed to be done.

Today was the day Beca was being released. During the week, the detectives had come and talked to them, Beca accepted the offer, and they had chosen one of the safe houses in Maine. A two bedroom, one for the girls, and one that would be used for the nursery if they were still there by the time the baby was born. Aubrey and Chloe both tried to take care of things with work, but were told if they were going to go to the safe house, they couldn't exactly try to transfer or tell anyone. They were slightly put off by this, but right now it didn't matter. All that mattered was being with Beca. There had been a full day of tears and apologies and Beca shutting down. They couldn't say goodbye to their friends, they couldn't let them know they were okay. She could see the hurt in her girlfriends eyes and no matter how many times they tried to reassure her that it was okay, she wouldn't take that for an answer.

It was then she found out about Stacie. She hadn't known what Jesse did to her, since she was whisked away by the detectives at the same time that CR had come over with the news. She had broken down when she found out her friend was in a coma and Chloe and Aubrey couldn't calm her down. It ended in the doctor threatening her with a sedative and she finally calmed herself enough for the doctor to leave and for the first time since she was found, she rejected Chloe and Aubreys attempts to comfort her. Turning her back towards them, and crying herself to sleep.

She wrote a letter the next day. One that she didn't let them read and gave it to detective Snow to give to Stacie if and when she woke up. Snow told her that after Stacie read it, she would have to destroy it. Beca agreed and spent the better half of the day apologizing for shutting out her girlfriends. They didn't find it necessary but they knew she needed to do it to feel better.

Chloe and Aubrey packed up their things while Beca listened to the doctor explain a few things to her on what she needed to do once she landed in Maine.

"Um, I was told the man that saved me, Kev Cliner? They said he was here too." She said when he finished and handed her paperwork on everything he just said.

He nodded. "He is. He is still recovering in the ICU." Her doctor said.

"Do you think I could see him?" she asked hesitantly. "I-I want to thank him." She said.

He seemed to think about it and after a moment, and a small smile he nodded. He wasn't the most compassionate doctor, his was business, and did what he had to too. This was the first time Beca had seen him smile an offered one in return.

"I guess we could do that." He said.

Aubrey and Chloe walked up on either side of their small girlfriend. "Would you like us to come with you?" Aubrey asked, placing a gentle hand on her lower back. Beca looked up at her with a small smiled.

"I would." She said and offered the blonde her hand, so she could help her off of the bed. She was finally dressed in normal people clothes, as she called them. Which consisted of a t shirt, jacket and clean pair of jeans.

As they walked out of the hospital room, Chloe grabbed their bag and none of them looked back at the room as they left and followed the doctor down the hall to the elevator.

They all stayed silent as they rode the elevator up to the ICU and walked down the hall. Once they were stopped outside the room, the doctor turned to them. "I'll just be one second." He said and entered the room, closing the door.

"How are you feeling?" Chloe asked running her hand down Becas now clean and blood free hair.

"Better. How are you guys?" She asked looking between them. They knew how hard she was trying to not worry herself, but they also knew how guilty she felt. She was still upset about taking them away from their lives in Georgia, no matter how much they told her they didn't care.

"Never better." Aubrey said instantly, taking her hand and giving it a light squeeze.

"Pretty much perfect." Chloe winked.

She chuckled lightly as the door opened again. However it wasn't the doctor that walked out. It was a lady who looked to be in her early fifties. She immediately wrapped Beca in a hug.

Aubrey and Chloe moved to pull her away, as fast as she had embraced her, the moment they saw the fear on Becas face. Chloe pulling Beca to her, while Aubrey stepped between the now confused looking woman as Beca tried to control her breathing.

"It's okay, you're okay." Chloe cooed holding Becas face in her hands.

Aubrey turned the lady who now looked regretful. "I'm so sorry, I wasn't thinking, I'm Jill Cliner, Kevs wife." She said with a strong southern accent. "I didn't mean to frighten you." She said to Beca. Beca nodded as her breathing slowed.

Aubrey who was about to freak out on the woman, calmed when she heard who she was.

"I'm sorry, I have no personal boundaries," She said with an apologetic smile. "I was just over excited to see you I guess." She said.

Beca smirked at Chloe for a second at her personal boundaries comment, and Chloe glared at her playfully.

"It's okay." Beca said. "It's nice to meet you." She said. Offering the woman her hand.

Jill smiled and took it, shaking it vigorously. "I guess this is how normal people greet each other huh?" She laughed, and they could see the red tint in her cheeks. Her smiled faded slightly, as she took in the bruising on Becas face, and had to stop herself from reaching up and gently touching the ugly purple marks. Beca saw this, and quickly diverted her attention.

"I just wanted to thank your husband. He saved my life, and my babies life, I owe him every thing." She said softly.

"OH! The baby is okay?" Jill said excitedly and thrust her hand toward Becas stomach, but stopped quickly and yanked them back with wide eyes. "Sorry, almost did it again!"

They all laughed this time and Chloe wrapped her arm around Becas waist. "It's alright. Yeah, the baby is okay. Is, uh… Kev okay?" She asked a little nervously.

Jill smiled. "He is doing just fine! Not like that man hasn't taken a bullet before." She laughed. The three girls just stared at her with wide eyes.

"Sweetie, we live in the middle of a swamp. The boys out there do some really stupid stuff when they get bored." She said. "Kev, is gonna be just fine. He's been asking after you since he woke up." She said.

Beca was relieved that the man that risked his own life for her was going to be okay. His wife was soothing else, and Chloe couldn't stop smiling at her. Aubrey could see the similar personalities of the woman and her redheaded girlfriend and shook her head in amusement.

The doctor came out then. "Alright, go on in." He motioned. Beca looked at Chloe and Aubrey.

"I'll just be a moment." She said. They nodded with happy smiles and she quickly gave them each a kiss on the lips before going into the room. The doctor gave a nod of acknowledgment before walking away. Chloe and Aubrey looked back to see Jill eyeing them.

"So the three of you huh?" she asked. They straightened their postures, ready to defend themselves and each other if they needed.

"Yes ma'am." Chloe said confidently.

Jill studied them for a moment before a huge smile broke over her face. "That is awesome!" She said.

They were slightly thrown off.

"I have always wondered how that works, could you tell me?" she asked excitedly.

Aubrey almost laughed, but she contained it and composed herself quickly. Chloe on the other hand, couldn't stop the giggle that escaped.

"Um, well… what do you want to know?" Aubrey asked.

"Like, how does it work?"

With a small amused shake of her head, Aubrey spoke. "Well, I love them, they love each other, and they love me. We spend time together, take care of each other, go on dates together, sleep in the same bed." She listed it off. "We do everything a 'traditional' straight couple does, just its three of us." She said.

Jill smiled warmly at her. "And the baby?" She asked.

"We will all care for, and raise the baby with love and support." Chloe said. "That baby is a part of Beca, and we will always love her."

Jill smiled again. "You girls are just amazing." She said. "Is she going to be okay?" She asked nodding toward the hospital room.

"She is strong." Aubrey nodded. "She had been through a lot before he took her, and she has a lot of healing to do. But, I know, we know." She corrected herself, taking Chloe's hand and kissing the back of it as she intertwined their fingers. "That she is going to be okay. And she is going to be a wonderful Mother."

When the door closed, Beca almost shyly looked up to see the man that saved her life laying in the hospital bed. The moment his eyes landed on her, he smiled.

"Well, aren't you looking, clean!" He smiled. She walked toward the bed, her fingers playing with the edges of her jacket.

"Hi." She said softly.

He smiled warmly at her. "Hello," He said. "How are you feeling?"

She laughed lightly. "I'm feeling great, thanks to you." She said. Her voice was becoming thick with emotion and she could feel the tears rising in her eyes as she looked down at him.

"Ah, it was no problem." He said kindly.

"You, you saved my life. You saved my baby. I don't know how I will ever repay you." She said. He smiled sadly at her, and reached out, taking her small hand in his much bigger one.

"No need for that. " He said. "I wish I would have come out there sooner. Or you know, watched the damn TV. Your face was on almost every station." He said.

She looked down. "I just wish that shot would have killed him." Kev said. She looked up and met his eyes.

"Me too."

They stayed silent for a moment. "You know, there are a lot of gators on that land. Maybe, he got eaten by one of them." He joked causing Beca to let out a genuine laugh.

"Here's hoping!" She said crossing her fingers.

He laughed as well. "Just, make sure, you don't let all this terrible awful, get in the way of giving your baby the good and happy life you both deserve." He said.

She looked at him seriously. "I won't sir." She said. "My baby will be cared for, and loved deeply." She promised, placing her hand over her belly.

He nodded. "That's all I want." He said.

She smiled as there was a knock on the door and they looked as Jill poked her head in. "Honey, your girlfriends would also like to talk to Kev." She said. "Apparently I'm not entertaining them enough." She joked as she walked in and Aubrey and Chloe followed behind with playful smiles.

"Now, that's not true." Chloe said. "You're wife is very entertaining." She said.

Jill beamed at the younger girl. "Ah, kev, they like me! Can I keep them?" she laughed as she wrapped her arms around Aubrey and hugged her tightly while twisting them back and forth causing the blonde to laugh at the older woman's antics.

"Oh, Jill, would you leave them alone, you are gonna scare them away!" He scolded.

They all laughed and Aubrey and Chloe made their way over to stand beside Beca while Jill took the opposite side of the bed.

"You got yourself some pretty ladies on your arms there." He winked at Beca.

She smiled and took their hands. "Yes, I do." She said, lovingly.

"We just wanted to thank you." Aubrey said. "For saving Becas life and bringing her back to us."

Chloe nodded. "We are eternally grateful."

He nodded. "Like I told this one." He nodded to Beca. "Just be happy. Don't let this ruin the rest of your life, and raise the baby with love and happiness, not bad memories of the past."

The nodded. "This baby is going to be smothered in love." Chloe exclaimed. "Promise."

Beca smiled fondly at the redhead and squeezed her hand. Another knock sounded at the door and they turned to see detective Kendrick standing there.

"Pardon me, but, it's time to go." He said to the three.

Their plane was leaving from Baton Rouge in an hour to take them to their new home. Beca looked away sadly.

"Thank you again." She said to Kev. "I'll never forget what you did for me."

He smiled warmly and pulled her down into a hug. She didn't try to stop him, and hugged him back.

After they said their goodbyes, Beca turned to Jill. "Try this again?" she asked holding her arms open and Jill immediately embraced the smaller girl and hugged her tightly.

"You girls, take care." She said.

Beca nodded. "We will." The walked from the hospital to the car was silent, and the drive from the hospital to the small private jet, provided by the witness protection program was just as silent. Snow and Kendrick escorted them. And once they were all safely buckled in their seats, Beca between Aubrey and Chloe, both holding one hand as the plane shot down the runway and lifted into the sky, Beca spoke.

"It's all going to be okay, right?" She asked. They looked at each other, then at her.

"Yes, baby. Everything is going to be fine." Chloe said.

Aubrey lifted Becas hand, kissing her knuckles and once the seatbelt sign turned off, she took hers off and turned in her seat.

"It may seem like our lives are being taken over, or put on hold. But, that the exact opposite of what is happening. We are going to live in a safe place. The three of us, and in a few months, it will be the four of us. We will be together, every day. We have already been through so much. YOU have been to hell and back twice, and you have come out of it stronger than ever. You are going to be okay, Beca. This isn't the end, this isn't a halt in our lives. This is just the beginning. The begging of an amazing journey we about to take together. You, me, Chloe and that little peanut growing inside you. We are going to be happy." She said leaning forward and leaving a lingering kiss on Becas lips.

Chloe's, gentle hand on Becas arm, made her turn her now teary eyes onto a set of ice blue ones.

"Beca, when we thought you were gone forever, we almost couldn't go on ourselves. I know you are upset, and blaming yourself. You think you are taking us away from our lives, but in reality you are guiding us into our future. We will follow you to the ends of the earth. We are going to build the family you have always wanted up there in Maine. We are going to be the family you have always dreamed about." Chloe finished with her own kiss.

When Beca looked down, she almost gasped. Chloe's hand had caught her attention. Beca looked back up with wide eyes and Chloe smiled.

"This isn't a proposal." Chloe said lightly as Beca looked back down at the silver band Chloe held.

Aubrey spoke next. "It's a promise." She said as Chloe lifted Becas left hand.

"A promise that we will always be here, for you and with you." Chloe smiled.

"Loving you, leading you and following you." Aubrey said.

Beca let out a small sob as happy tears flowed out of her eyes.

"Forever." Chloe said as she slipped the ring onto Becas waiting finger.

Aubrey smiled. "And always."

"I love you both so much." She said as she closed her fist and held it against her. "What about you?

Chloe and Aubrey each kissed her lightly on the cheeks. Then showed her their own hands, which had the same rings on them. Beca hadn't even noticed.

"We love you too." They said at the same time.

Beca sat back in her seat, whipping her tears and smiled contently.

Aubrey and Chloe laid their head on her shoulders as they all intertwined their hands in her lap.

Its not the end. She thought. It was only Just the begging.
